Sweet Science

Sweet science is pretty sweet. but not sweet enough. We went on a weeknight and it was pretty empty, but it was late, so the music was still pretty loud. The venue is pretty massive and it is definitely a popular place on the weekends, but tonight it had the feeling of a club after everyone has left for the night. Our waitress was nothing special and although she wasn’t rude in any way, she was pretty indifferent towards us. For drinks, we got a beer and a whiskey cocktail. We forgot the names of the drinks, but the beer was good and the whiskey cocktail was strong and delicious. For food, I got the fried chicken and the biscuits, which were a step up from Kentucky Fried Chicken, but nothing more than that. The biscuit was very warm and delicious, but there was only one of them, so overall the meal wasn’t anything special. For her, she ordered the fried catfish sandwich, which was very tasty. The fish was well cooked, not too greasy, still buttery, and the broccoli rabe complimented the flavor. My only complaint is the bun, completely drenched in butter, made the sandwich slippery to the touch requiring loads and loads of napkins. Overall, pretty average restaurant, mediocre experience, would recommend for big groups on busy nights. — Jonny and Zoe

I was treated to brunch for my birthday by a few friends, and sweet science was a sweet treat. Well this review is mostly about the customer service. Well our waitress was very sweet and very attentive, we were seated immediately at arrival. We had a mishap with our order but the owner came over and apologized in person and treated us to a few shots and complimentary fries and mimosas. The music was great and I had a blast. I would for sure return to sweet science.

Best macaroni I’ve ever had in my life. Hands down.
Great atmosphere, great food and great prices. I love this place!

This place dope as fuck, service, food, and drinks are on the up. If you a real g you will fuck with this spot. Real homie shit. You gotta be in it to win it.

If you’re in Brooklyn you have to stop here – for not only the top notch food and drink but for the great people who work there.
I was passing through Brooklyn for an interview and stopped by and immediately met the owner, James, who joined me for drinks and introduced me to some of the regulars. All good people.
The food was top notch. As a New Orleanian, I take food seriously and the fish sandwich was different than a traditional New Orleans po’ boy, but gives it a serious run for its money.
I couldn’t help but return every night I was in town. I met the manager later that week, Nikki, who makes some outrageously delicious drinks. On a cold Sunday, you won’t find a better Irish Coffee on this side of the Atlantic than at Sweet Science.
So whether you’re looking for great food, great drinks or just a great time – for fucks sake, get yer ass to Sweet Science.

Let me start by saying I wish I can give this place an additional star. The ambiance alone was enough to give it 5 stars. The urban infused art pieces was really a nice touch rather than the typical standard décor.
This place is know for their «Biggie Special», which is the steak, cheese eggs, and welch’s grape. This was made popular by late great Brooklyn native rapper, the Notorious B.I.G.
Now to the entrée. It’s grilled hanger steak but in tender flavorful chunks. The eggs were so fluffy and had the perfect balance of cheese. The dish also came with home fries and salad. To wash down all of this delicious food was the «Big-​A-​Lini», welch’s grape and champagne. That was very good.
I’ll definitely be back here very soon. Good ambiance, service, and food. 5 stars across the board!

It was okay. Loved the décor. A huge space. dimly lit. cool chill environment. Service is not that great. Sat at the bar… and the whole time the bartender was playing with her phone. I’m not asking her to be my BFF… but that doesn’t feel welcoming. A small. how’s ur day. or have you been here before would be nice. Ordered a peach whiskey frozen drink that was on happy hour special. Five bucks. It was good but felt like it was missing the whiskey.
Ordered takeout… the bartender kinda slammed the food on the bar. gave me the bill without asking me if I wanted another non alcoholic slushy. Signed the bill and left a dollar tip for the drink which she kinda looked at with a smirk /​sneer. Umm. did u expect anything more. go back to playing with your phone miss.
Well onto the food. I ordered the sautéed Kale and beets and I actually really enjoyed it. It was covered in a lemon dressing that was balanced.
I also ordered the spicy pineapple glaze wings. Meh. The wings didn’t taste seasoned. It felt like they fried unseasoned wings and dipped it in the glaze afterward. so the flavors didn’t sink in. Sadly it wasn’t even spicy.
Will I come back… not sure.

Overall cool, dim environment but had cheap, folding chairs which weren’t that comfortable. The drinks are strong and a good size. Our waitress was nice but reversed our orders each time and we had to remind her who ordered what dish. There is a lounge area with couches by the center of the restaurant and décor that reminded me of a modern Frankenstein.
The fried pickles were abundant but too deeply fried (I ended up peeling off some of the fried parts). The jalapeño poppers were good, along with the catfish burger (but the taste of the burger could have been improved — it was somewhat bland). The chicken quesadilla was alright… The cream cheese was too hard and I could not dip the quesadilla. There was not enough salsa provided as well. The flavor that stood out the most would be the barbecue sauce.
Overall, it is a good place for drinks and it is conveniently right in front of a MTA bus stop!

#I guess I got everything #Biggie Smalls related. The #Biggie Breakfast that comes with a #Big-​a-​lini (Welch’s Grape Juice & champagne) and the #Big Bloody (Bloody Mary w/​shrimp, bacon and a beer chaser). And they are all big, not small.
The #steak was okay, but better with A.1. sauce. I think I used half a bottle. Jeez, I love #A.1. sauce. A.1. is kind of expensive per ounce. So I guess I got my money’s worth.
They have #football on TV, but it’s kind of weird when you are watching it and the girls that are in front of you think you are staring at them. I think they liked me.

Me and the boy came in around 11pm on a Sunday for some much needed food when every other kitchen in the area had closed down — this is a great late night dining option!
The space is pretty large, lots of seating at tables as well as around the bar.
Food was solid. Pulled pork was OK. The Cajun catfish (not fried) comes slightly spicy with a side of collard greens. The fish was good but I was going nuts for those greens, they were positively loaded up with garlic. Fires were nice and crispy with enough soft ones thrown in to make everyone happy. The crab cakes taste better then they appear at first, and the lemon aioli they come with is delicious.
Music was interesting for a Sunday night. Madonna, Whitney Houston, some rap sprinkled in. There was a birthday party going down so I think they were playing for that crowd.
They have Crabbies Ginger Beer and an agave wheat beer, nice ambiance, and they serve food late– definitely worth a visit.

So if no stars were an option, that’s what I’d give this place. My party of 2 were waiting for our meals for an hour and a half.
Minimal check ins. No complimentary snacks for the wait and no apology.
The waitress claimed that there was a technical difficulty in the kitchen with the tickets.
No idea how the service could be so bad when the restaurant was half empty.

Is this cheeeesseeeee in my bloody mary? Yes, please!
Sweet Science is a gigantic brunch spot in a tucked away in East Williamsburg. It never seems to amaze me how you can find the best places just walking a different path. I love the modern look of the restaurant. They have high ceilings, open space and a pretty large wrap around bar. I especially enjoy the Day of the Dead motif on the booze shelf. I am a sucker for all things sugar skull. And the shelf is definitely how I would set up by home bar.
Sweet Science specializes in southern comfort. I love southern food but sometimes it’s difficult to get pescatarian choices. But lucky for me this was not the case. The recommendation for pescatarians was the crab cake benedict or the lobster and biscuits or the shrimp and grits. Soooo many options. I was thrown off by the name «Crab Meat» instead of «Crab Cake» but it made sense when my dish arrived and there was less bread than crab. And let’s face it, that’s really what we all want. My dish came with a side of toast and home fries. We couldn’t resist getting a side of biscuits. I love biscuits and instead of jam they gave us a side of marmalade. After my first bite you could just call me Paddigton Bear… marmalade is on the most underrated breakfast topping. I loved seeing the slivers of orange peel on my biscuit with a little more butter of course. Can one have too much butter? I think not.
Then my brother got the chicken and waffles. He loves himself some chicken and waffles. The waffles came out separately adorned with fluffy clouds of whip cream and fresh fruit. I was able to sneak a bite and it was incredible. The waffle had the fluffy and crispiness that you look for in waffles. The chicken came in a cute little metal bucket. My brother being the big brother he is quickly grabbed his fried chicken and stroked that chicken allllll over his waffle to prevent any more theft of his breakfast. Obviously someone has sharing issues.
And as I mentioned the bloody was the perfect beverage for brunch. And since there was pickled items and cheese… did I mention cheese, it was the perfect appetizer while brunch is being prepared.
I can’t wait to come back and try some of the other pescatarian options and I definitely have to come for dinner. I must have the Catfish sandwich!
I also want to mention they have a frozen cocktail machine with three flavors. If you get all three it’s called «Cotton Candy». The colors are reminiscent of circus fun but the taste is for us big kids! Totally worth the brain freezzzzze!

I came to sweet science while in the area on a Sunday night. I used Unilocal to find it. The restaurant is spacious and dimly lit. It’s a nice date spot with an intimate setting.
My friend and I ordered margaritas. They were great and had a perfect amount of alcohol. For food, we shared chicken quesadillas, truffle fries, and Mac and cheese, which had bacon and jalapeños. I was blown away by the food, truly. Everything was so delicious. The portions were a pretty big size. My friend and I couldn’t finish everything even though we really wanted to.
The service was very attentive. Also, I couldn’t believe how cheap our bill was. I was expecting it to be much more considering we got a lot of food and four drinks. I loved this place! I can’t wait to return when in the area again!

Started off at 5 stars. This place is cute, quaint, trendy with a nice, calm atmosphere. The food is very tasty. I ordered the extra crispy honey barbecued fried chicken, with blue cheese sauce on the side. My friend ordered truffle fries and a shrimp and grits meal. She agrees that the flavoring and portion sizing was on point.
They lost a star because our waitress was never around. I had to flag her down multiple times to address my order. When we first walked in, there wasn’t any signage or anyone around to tell us whether we should seat ourselves or whether we will be seated. We sat ourselves, and then waited about ten minutes to place our drink orders, then another ten minutes or so for our drinks to arrive, then another 15 for her to come back and check on us (after I flagged her down to get her attention). I am compelled to also say that the place was not packed. So, will I go back maybe, when I mentally prepare myself to be annoyed by the indifference of the waitress. I think that some time should be spent on training the wait staff for a better dining experience.

I came here with a few friends for Black Owned Restaurant Month. We took advantage of the pre-​fixe menu, which included an appetizer, entrée, dessert, and cocktail for $ 35. What a great deal!
Before our meals, we had one of the frozen cocktails at the bar. Before 8, they are only $ 5. The peach whiskey is amazing! So refreshing. With the meal, I had the strawberry margarita. Also a really good drink. Sweeter than the peach one. Be careful with these. You can’t taste the alcohol, so you end up sucking them down pretty quickly.
Once we were seated, it took a while for anyone to bring water or take our orders. I think they were understaffed. That said, even though service was a bit slow, nobody seemed frazzled or annoyed, which tends to happen at other places when waitstaff is overwhelmed. The owner of the restaurant was our server, and he was very friendly and conversational. It’s easy to overlook the wait time when you have someone who seems genuinely happy that you’re there.
I ordered the tangy South Carolina barbecue wings as my appetizer. Such a delicious flavor. The wings were perfect. Crispy and meaty, not soggy at all. It was also a huge serving. I was almost full by the time our entrees arrived.
I had the hanger steak. It was like a mountain of meat on top of a mountain of potatoes. So much food! The steak was pretty good. Well-​cooked with a nice glaze (balsamic reduction, maybe). The potatoes were also really good. Very flavorful, and real potatoes, including the skin (my favorite).
The dessert was panna cotta. It was topped with either raspberry or strawberry topping and a sprig of mint. Yummy.
I had a very good experience here, and I’m glad for BORM. I never would have known about this place otherwise.

Okay! So it’s my first week living in the neighborhood, and this place was in walking distance so we decided to give it a try!
Kind greeting upon entering and very fast service (it was early and empty when we got here).
Drinks: Peach Bourbon Slush. Need I say more? This drink had me buzzed about halfway through and it was delicious. Also a decent beer selection for my better half.
Appetizer: Disclosure — I am a Buffalo native. Wings are our thing. When we saw Spicy Pineapple BBQ wings on the menu, we had to try them. The sauce was delicious. I am impressed, and as a wing connoisseur that’s hard. They could’ve had more meat, but that’s just something that comes with wings from Buffalo I think. I was licking the sauce from my fingers — that’s how amazing it was.
Main course: shrimp and grits. Oh my goodness. This was amazing, really. Five big shrimp, white wine creamy sauce, scallions, cherry tomatoes, and bacon. I can’t get over how good it was. My boyfriend loved his BBQ chicken quesadilla too.
Food came out super hot, atmosphere was great, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, and the Beatles were blasting, and it was an all around terrific experience. I will be back.

Let me stay first by saying the décor here is very nice. The bar has a Dia de Los Muertos theme with a picture of Biggie Smalls in the back wall. Not sure how that ties together, but I like it.
I came in around 4pm, so the place was practically empty, which is always nice. I ordered the Blue Hawaiian and it packs a nice little punch. It’s a slushy drink if you like that sort of thing, which I do thank you very much!
I was waiting for a date, and I had a lot of time to kill so I ordered the 6 spicy pineapple bbq wings and truffle fries. The wings when I first bit into them I didn’t taste any spicy-​ness, but as I kept eating, the spice showed up. Usually if a menu has the word spicy, I like my food spicy, not baby spicy. But they were good regardless. Nothing major for me to cry about. The truffle fries were ok… The mayo or aioli or whatever mayo and ketchup mixed together is called was not really my style, so I primarily used the ranch from the wings for my fires.
When my date finally arrived, I ordered the smokin’ Joe chicken quesadilla and he ordered the Cajun catfish. The quesadilla is a pulled chicken with big leafy greens. It says it has bacon and tomatoes, but I really didn’t taste either. I was actually full when it came out, so I ended up taking it home. As for the Cajun catfish, it was actually very very very good; seasoned perfectly. The sides however, could have been better. According to my date, the sweet mashed potatoes were good and the collard greens were bland. If yo mama or grandma gets down with the greens, then you will be disappointed.
Overall, I like this spot and can hopefully make it back for brunch with the girls.

Came here for lunch during the week. Practically empty– had my reservations at first and it was freezing inside– but I have to say that the food was great and service was attentive.
Me, my friend and her daughters– shared the 6 piece wings with pineapple BBQ sauce and it was delicious.
Both me and my friend had the catfish sandwich-​we opted for sweet potato fries instead. Serving is huge. One of the girls had a BLT and she loved it.
I suppose more people come at night and for their brunch. I took a gander at the brunch menu and it was a dope selection– anyone that has a selection of Benedicts and things like huevos rancheros and chicken and waffles are ok with me :)
Will have to come back and try brunch :) and have a cocktail
There was also cool art up– Art Deco pieces of music stars made of broken up records. Didn’t notice it until on of the little girls mentioned it. Pretty cool.

Located on Graham ave I have driven by this place a million times and never noticed it. I was there first customer of the day so obviously service was fast. Bartender was extremely friendly and very helpful when I asked for recommendations.
I ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich with a side of fries. Chicken had enough spice and it was nice and crispy. They even put avocado in it mmmmm. Bartender recommended my friend try the smoked chicken quesadilla. Oh darn was that good. Give it a try if you are in the neighborhood.

Came here on a late Saturday night and this place was pretty empty, except for a few people at the bar getting drinks.
We walked in and waited a few minutes to be greeted and were seated soon after. The menu wasn’t extensive we quickly skimmed it and put in our orders.
The food came to the table it was hot & fresh and tasty. I got the shrimp and grits and my boyfriend had the fish with the sweet potato purée. He loved it! I had a bite and it was tasty, my shrimp and grits had a really yummy gravy…
Once the food cane to the table we felt the service kind of fell to the wayside. The employees were busy having a good time at the bar and kind of forgot us. I get that it was late on Saturday but we were the only ones eating so it should not be an excuse.
All and all the food was good but I’ve heard amazing things about the brunch so I do want to come back and give them another chance. Overall Good, and satisfying but not memorable.
