Puff’s Patties

Second time at this establishment. The first time was VERY good, the second time was excellent. I met one of the owners, Keisha, who was pleasant, offered great recommendations, and allowed me to sample the pineapple ginger drink. The restaurant is a small storefront, but by no means is it cramped. They make great use of the space, and the brightness from the natural light and clean aesthetic make it a pleasant place to be.Patties are in the name, and the patties are tasty (I got the spicy beef and jerk chicken), but the start of the show were the empanadas. Keisha told me they were delicious, and no lies were told. Both the jerk mushroom and the oxtail with cheese were literally bursting at the seams. They were cooked to order and came with a sauce specifically designed for each respective empanada. The oxtail sauce was creamy with a little tanginess. The jerk mushroom had a scotch bonnet pepper sauce which brought a the heat. I feel like empanadas might be my go-to going forward. I washed it all down with a ginger forward pineapple beverage that was fire.

Saw this place on IG promoting their stuffed oxtail, Mac & cheese beef patties with coco bread. They definitely need better marketing because I've passed by this spot hundreds of times and would've never thought that it was more than a run of the mill patty shop, which are a dime a dozen in this neighborhood. So the patty was good, but nothing super super special. It was missing a little kick, but was definitely filling. I also tried the jerk mushroom empanada (super spicy), ackee and saltfish empanada (perfect), & I ended up getting a free oxtail empanada (it comes with cheese which wasn't bad, but unexpected). So there was a mixup between my friend's order and mine and even though it was fixed the staff was slow to swap. They had to continuously ask their managers questions, we had to repeat the issue and initial order, and they seemed hesitant to fix it. My waitress ended up being apologetic which I appreciated, but the other lady stared at my friend as she told her she's lactose intolerant & didnt know the oxtail empanada had cheese.It's definitely a small takeout spot, but if they'd warn about wait times, advertise better and work on their customer service it'll be great. I loved their scotch bonnet sauce on the side- authentically Caribbean spicy.

Checked out puffs and I was pleasantly surprised even though they were mostly out of patties which is a great sign. I was lucky enough to commandeer a jerk chicken patty. I was about to drive all the way to Sybil's in queens, lol. I'll still brave that pilgrimage but Puffs will definitely be on my hit list. The patty was light, fresh, and the flavor profile of the chicken was on point. Puffs offers other Patty filings which I'm definitely going to return to try. I highly recommend checking them out if you're in the area.

Overall rating: 4.4 Being one of the only customers, it was a lot of waiting for the staff to come back from her break. Given this is a new place, they should consider either adding a door ring or something that notifies staff when the door opens. I did come around lunch time, so not sure if that has anything to do with it. I do wish there was more of a theme to decorations and the music. I got the jerk chicken and the spicy beef. These oddly tasted like soup pastries & not what I was expecting. It was interesting how I went around Noon and they were out of water. Nice twist, but not for me. I recommend giving it a try.

I've been so eager to visit and today I had time. It's a small shop with a big impression as soon as you walk in. I was fortunate enough to meet the owner, Kim, and she was so friendly and joyful. Everything is made on site daily and the quality of the food really shows. I purchased a mild beef patty with coco bread and a small pineapple ginger juice and everything came up to $11. The juice was delicious and refreshing and the patty with coco bread was equally as delicious. Seasoned perfectly, flaky crust and the bread was soft and such a compliment to the patty. They have a variety of patties as well as empanadas, sliced cakes and buns. Personally, I love a traditional beef patty so I'm never going to try an oxtail or jerk patty but you guys feel free to do so. I'm sure it's delicious. There aren't too many restaurants that make traditional beef patties so I highly recommend Puff's for your next stop to get one. Eat, drink and enjoy!

My son went 2 days after me and got the loaded beef patty he absolutely loved it for $12.00 definitely worth it. Gotta eat it with a fork eventually from all the gravy. He said It's filled with flavor The spicy from the patty Blending with the gravy with the oxtail Then the Mac & cheese not too cheesy just right fresh noodles Patty crust flaky a nice crunch And the bread soft So in so many words definitely go to Puff patties because I will be back

The staff's attitude was absolutely disgusting. Attitude for days. Patty was good, but if she's serving say I do go back, I'm walking right out.

Wanted to like this place and give a better review and rating, but bad customer service will absolutely ruin an experience. Walked in on a Saturday afternoon and were told that all patties were a 15 minute Wait. We said ok, no problem and were told to wait outside. 30+ minutes later, no patties. When asking how much longer for the wait, the person inside had an attitude and wasn't giving a definitive answer. When they finally started fulfilling orders, there was no order to it. So people who came after us were getting served first, and it was complete chaos with multiple people getting upset. They allowed people to walk in and get food before they served the folks who had been waiting for 15-30 minutes. And the fact that they couldn't have the decency to be pleasant or apologize was beyond disappointing. The 1 star is only because the spicy beef patty was good, even though the crust was thin and fell apart. But the oxtail empanada was a huge disappointment. A little tiny piece of oxtail and all breading. I really wanted to support a small, black owned business but cannot recommend this place to anyone.

Some of the best patties in the city, without sacrificing variety. Plenty of vegetarian options. A mix of golden crust and wheat dough options. Some empanadas as well. Hard to choose what to order. Good coco bread. Amazing scotch bonnet puff's sauce that must be tried. Everything was delicious, both in flavor and texture. Whether you're a patty regular or not, this is where to go.
