Cheri's Bedstuy

The food was delicious, garlic wings, you can taste the seasoning in every bite. Mac and cheese, was seasoned through and cheesy. The shrimp was very good and the salmon croquettes, it had a southern flavor. Service was awesome, the owner and her daughter in-law were pleasant. Ambiance was warm and welcoming, the music was great! Thanks for the Playlist My husband and I will be back!

Stopped here after service on Sunday to grab a bite to eat before going to an afternoon service at another church and the service was quick, fast, delightful. As soon as we sat down our server came to our table and we made him aware of our time limitations and the need to get in and out in thirty minutes. He took our order and within 10 minutes our order was at the table. I had cheesy grits, fried whiting, and salad with lemonade and hubby had Carolina chicken wings, sweet potatoes, collard greens, and Mac n Cheese. Everything was delicious. I'm just sorry I couldn't savor the flavor because I had to woof my food down in ten minutes to get to my next stop. What a darn shame. Nonetheless, we do plan to come back when we are not under such time constraints and totally take our time to enjoy the food.

Pretty decent spot for brunch. The food is great! My whiting-fired fish and grits were amazing. My cousin had the fried chicken and it was nicely fried/seasoned. The only thing I would recommend is elevating the drinks.

Was here a few months ago for take-out dinner. Got the fried catfish dinner (2 sides) w/ mac and cheese and house salad + arnold palmer drink + carrot cake slice. I came an hour before close so didn't expect theee most fresh food. Got a good dinner but I just know it'd hit way harder if I was there earlier. The piece of catfish was FAT. fried perfectly, crisssspy, needed way more seasoning though. I know the mac would have been amazing if it was hot/fresh. Wouldn't get the house salad again but I digress.. their carrot cake was so damn good. Love how they made it with long shredded carrot pieces. not saccharine, just decadent. The employees inside were so upbeat and friendly -- they made me feel very welcome!

I would not recommend or come back to this business. Last night i had plans to go to a restaurant but it was a long wait and their kitchen closed in 1hr. We didn't so check out Cheri's, it's been on my check out list for a very long time, and the reviews & food looked good. We arrive, and entered, I thought there was a faint smell of urine but my man said it just smelled like old people, there was table eating. We asked for a table for 2, the lady went to the back and came back and said they were actually closing. I told her online it said they closed at 10pm (it was 9pm), she said "I know but we were slow today and decided to pack up". its the Friday of Memorial Day weekend! I can't with trying to support BOB! We went to Altar not too far away which 10/10 drinks, IMPECCABLE service, and great food!

Music in the patio was from a free radio with more commercials than music which killed the mood. Would have been better with no music. Indoor they were playing some great 90s classics. In the patio, sad old moldy flowers were clumsily plopped in the umbrella holes of the table which added a unwanted and uncomfortable eating situation (they encroach on your plate).We started with beverages. If you like hawaiin koolaid or tang like childhood treats then the "mimosa" is something to try. The lemonade tasted old and flat. When the food came out everything looked good but that's where pleasantries end. The fried food, even though was not oily, were placed on a bed of lettuce which had several wilted/mushy greens. My fish although perfectly breaded and fried didn't have much flavor. My mac was sad looking from being premade way waaay ahead of time and cold from not being kept warm. I reheated it at home but sadly it too didn't have much flavor. The collards greens were tasty but severely sweet. It helped add some type flavor to the fish. My partner said the same applies for the chicken, although it was perfectly cooked it had no flavor at all.Overall I'm glad I came in but it is definitely not something I'm too pleased to have wasted money on when I left so utterly unsatisfied from all the blandness.

Wish we were able to try the food here as we traveled all the way from Long Island but without notice on the front door or anything online the restaurant was closed due to a special order. Although we appreciate her calling back ( after the second call) it still would've been nice to have something on the door well after 12pm especially since we weren't the only ones waiting outside. Can't speak for the food and wish we could leave 5 starts because the food looked beautiful online but better communication would be appreciated for the future.

The food was absolutely amazing. I dream about the fish and specialty grits (peach cobbler grits). The service was great attentive and told my friend and I about the secret grits and history about the restaurant. The restaurant is small very intimate but the ambiance was nice. I can't wait to visit again.

The yellow rice taste like Goya, the greens taste like vinegar, the salmon was ok but could have used fresh salmon not the one in the pack frozen! The guys smoking in the back yard close to where we was eating should have never been. If your chillin at ya girls house and that's the meal ok. All those powder seasonings nahhhh. They trying I get it try better tho. I cook people go to events eat the food ask who cooked this I get around by word of mouth. The prices were just to high. No soda, fresh garlic is better than garlic in a jar the take is different completely cooking is an art. Someone like myself who cooks knows the difference. Yellow rice should be cooked fresh not the box my girls kinda liked it but I felt like I was home eating from my youngest trying her thing thing in the kitchen. To charge that Money I want my mouth singing.

What a beautiful visit! I found this place on Yelp, and I'm glad I went. Service was kind and prompt, and the music was nostalgic! Now onto the food, I had the whiting and grits with a spinach side salad along with a rum punch. Oh and an appetizer of the lollipop lamb chops! Everything was delicious from beginning to end. I can't wait to go back!
