La Cabana Rodriguez - Rodriguez Fried Chicken

I have been eating at La Cabana for at least 30 years. The service and food have declined over the years. It's been a hit or miss since the pandemic (2019). The older woman who serves (has to be the owner) mixes up the orders and holds up the line tremendously. She needs to sit back and relax. When I see her serving, I want to leave. I haven't gone back in over a year, as the last two times my food was fried too hard. They still have one of the best Henny Colodas next to mine and delicious okra.

I've eaten here plenty of times over the years. You can count on the line being out the door. I've had fried chicken, roasted chicken, fried fish, steak, all variations of rice and beans. I like the seafood salad even though there's only shrimp. The flan is good also. The Henny Colada is bomb too. At one point you could order drinks with alcohol to go as long as you purchase food. Over the past 5 years, I've only had one issue with my fried chicken not being cooked all the way through but for the most part the food is consistently good and fresh because it is always crowded. Service is kinda chaotic if you are not used to the crowdedness. Be patient and be prepared to wait.

The food is bomb! There's always a long line and a crowd so bring your patience! The servers are quick but aren't very friendly but if you're more interested in the food than making friends then you'll definitely enjoy it. My favorite combo is the salt fish and yucca. Try it! Prices are reasonable and portions are enough to be shared.

Always a pleasure. This place is always packed and there's a reason for that the food is phenomenal. With so many options you can't really go wrong they have oxtails chicken beef empanadas and so much more. The staff is very attentive and very skillful as they're able to keep up with all of the orders. I really can't recommend anything more than the recommendation of me telling you to go inside and try something... Anything

Not like it used to be. All I ordered was 1 fried chicken breast, a side of rice and beans with plantains. A bottle of water. The plate was nice enough but when she rang it up at $25 I could not believe it. Then said it was plus tax, so after a small tip I paid over $30 for my son's lunch. I'm on a restrictive diet and didn't even order anything ... I used to come here as a kid and just wanted my son to experience the place while we were in town. it's definitely not the way I remember it. These must be new owners. If you don't speak Spanish, prepare to be ignored and treated rather poorly.

I haven't eaten from here since the late 90's, so I was a little apprehensive. I decided to get what would get in the past ...Fried pork chops - lack of flavor (I mean no flavor at all)Fried chicken- tasty and fried perfectlyWhite Rice & Beans - very tastyEmpanadas- I ordered 1 beef and 1 beef and cheese (I gambled to figure out which was which) Cheese Empanada- was over seasoned (should've use that on the pork chops)Beef Empanada - was perfect I'm not sure if it was an off day, but I'll give them another try in the future.

Been going since I was a little girl and they still the bomb. My favorite is steak in onions rice and beans and fried pork rings or fried chicken

I always order from here they didn't send my peas & rice the chicken I got was so wet 1/2 rotisserie I'm so upset I'm done. Its always a hit or miss tonight was bad a big miss smh

Parking stinks but the food is the best in Brooklyn, Periodt Delicious food!!! AUTHENTIC DOMINICAN FOOD almost thought i was in da BronxEverything is yummy.

It breaks my heart to write this review, because I know this place from when my father used to bring food from here when I was a kid. For old time's sake, I decided to order some roasted pork with a side of rice and beans. The pork was okay but the rice and beans reeked of cigarettes. I kept trying to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt and was hoping that maybe the rice had been part of a batch that had gotten burned, but after awhile, there was no mistaking the odor. This wasn't the smell of a burnt pan or a charcoal grill. It was definitely cigarettes, like the person who packed the food might've been smoking and accidentally let some ashes fall onto it. It was so bad that I had to throw the entire plate of rice and beans out. A shame, because I really wanted to give this place five stars.
