Risbo

Wow this place is simple but so good and it feels super healthy too!I highly recommend their Risbo platter (all the proteins are good but I think chicken is the best). The chicken was super juicy and the jus drizzled over is bursting with concentrated chicken flavor, I never knew chicken can be so flavourful.The other banger in the platter is the rice. Super well seasoned and perfect chew. It is placed next to the beets, so it lended a bit of sweetness which was nice (huge fan of sweet and savory). I will say however that the seasoning and texture on the rice can be inconsistent, but the visit that had the best quality was really good. Especially with the chicken over rice.The sauces with the rice and chicken are super good as well. For instance the aioli and I highly recommend the chili oil as well (it's like Lao gan ma, which is so good over rice)The hummus, plantains and red cabbage are such great sides as well, refreshing and a nice balance to the richer proteins.This place is also known for their Mac n cheese, and they deserve it! It is super cheesy and flavorful, one of my favorite mac n cheeses I've had!

Risbo has been a neighborhood staple for years, and there's a reason so many people keep coming back. This place is more than just a restaurant; its a community gathering spot, bringing together people from all around Brooklyn. There's this welcoming, unpretentious vibe here that makes it easy to feel at home, whether you're a regular or it's your first time.I always go for the "whatever platter" which includes their delicious roasted chicken , my friend got their the pork and I always have a side of mac and cheese. The chicken and pork are both unbelievably tender and flavorful, and the mac and cheese is everything you'd hope for - creamy, rich, and so comforting. They nail it every time, and I appreciate how consistent the quality is; it's clear they care about every dish they serve.What I really love is that Risbo embodies the spirit of the Brooklyn community. It's a place where everyone feels welcome, where you can show up as you are, and you'll see people from all walks of life enjoying a meal together. The staff are genuinely warm and friendly, adding to the sense that you're part of something special here.Risbo has this ethos of simple, delicious food served with care and without the fuss. They focus on flavor and atmosphere over frills, and they've created a spot where people come to connect over great food. For anyone in Brooklyn - or even just passing through - Risbo is one of those must-visit places that captures the heart of the community.

Great casual French restaurant in the PLG neighborhood. Cool spot for summer brunch or dinner with an open kitchen concept, spacious dining tables, and a pretty outdoor dining area. Risbo is open on the weekends only for brunch and dinner after 5. This spot is casual. You order and pick up your order at the counter when your food is ready. You can sit anywhere. I came on a Saturday afternoon for brunch. Ordered the lamb hash, Ojja morguez, which is basically a shashuka, and a side of hummus. The dishes came with pita bread. I wish the pita was a bit more soft. But the lamb was so tender, well seasoned and flavorful. The shashuka was also delicious. Portions were okay, but wish it was bigger. Overall, food was delicious. I would like to come back for their dinner menu. Staff were also friendly. The chef (I assume is also the owner) was super nice and helped with the high chair. Only reason I took a star off was that the barista forgot our coffee. We waited pretty long for it and it never came so we finally had to go ask for it.

Back again for brunch and it did not disappoint! You order at the counter and bus your own table, but the vibe is laid-back with great music. The lamb hash was insanely tender and flavorful, and the roasted chicken is a must get. My boyfriend loved his baked eggs and lamb sausage too. It might take a minute for the food, but trust me--it's so worth the wait!

How many places can you get tasty roast chicken with 4 sides for under $25? Risbo is a "souped up Chipotle," as my friend put it. All the food is served semi-buffet style, so meals come out quick. But all their French Caribbean food tastes fresh and flavorful, especially their hummus and sauces. Better still are the funky jams they have playing at night. It's a good spot for an excellent casual dinner.

Risbo was recommended to me by no less than a dozen locals. And I can see why. WOW. I loved it, and cannot wait to go back. It's like an adult cafeteria where you order, find a seat, and go pick up your tray. The servers knew the menu well and were able to aide me in my order. The Mac and cheese was so amazing, myself and a friend got a second portion. The seasonal roasted veggies were cooked to perfection and spicy as hell in the best way. I had The Pigeon, a mezcal cocktail which was delicious. The backyard is such an inviting space, and the inside is light and airy. A new PLG favorite has emerged for my family.

Saw Risbo on TikTok as I was looking for a nice, quiet spot for a solo brunch. The stunning interior and roasted chicken both looked amazing and I was not disappointed. There is a bar to the side and fast-casual ordering as you walk in. I got the Oeuf Brouillé ($18.00) which came with: Creamy French-style scrambled eggs, crème fraîche, chives, salad, roasted potatoes, toast. I got a side of 1/4 Roasted Chicken ($10) and a French 75. Everything was gorgeous; I never had French scrambled eggs and the texture was so light/fluffy. Their roasted chicken was seasoned well, although I prefer my chicken to be cooked a hair longer. I sat in the outdoor patio out back, and it was so breathtaking. The only thing I struggled with was sitting comfortably because the tables were short.

My spouse and I came for brunch. We both had the chicken and waffles. The chicken was tender and well seasoned. The waffles were crispy and delicious. The sunny side up egg was cooked perfectly. I loved the cilantro and chilies. The red cabbage slaw was amazing! I could eat 3x as much, easily. The counter service was reasonably quick and attentive. The atmosphere is just beautiful and serene. Highly recommend this place!

5/5 for the food, service, and ambiance. My first day in Brooklyn and my friend recommends this for dinner. Whew was I blown away. This is a spot with good food, beautiful environment, and amazing music. Food: I ordered the Risbo Chicken Platter and Apple Cobbler. Just thinking about how delicious the chicken platter was made my mouth water LOL. The chicken was so juicy, not dry at all. The mashed potatoes were creamy and buttery, an amazing pairing with the chicken. I ate all of my vegetables because i loved the saute that they did. The Apple Cobbler was jaw dropping. It tastes like Apple, but my friend and I kept wondering "is there a hint of nectarine? mandarin??" whatever it was, it was DELICIOUS. It was a great taste in your mouth of sweet, crunchy, and tangy. I thoroughly enjoyed my entire meal and left no crumbs. Location: Beautiful! We came during dinnertime and it feels so cozy. It was such a great place to catch up with my friend. They have an interior and exterior that are big enough where there's pretty good spacing between each party. I loved the foliage, the decorations, and of course the amazing music. The bathrooms are gender neutral and they set it up where the sink is outside. Loveeee the decor they use! Service: You order at the counter, seat yourself, and clean up after yourself. They give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. The employees there were all super nice and friendly! I enjoyed their recommendation and they all seemed laid back and chill.Overall, amazing. I would definitely come back here. I want to try more of their menu because that chicken, mashed potatoes, vegetables, and apple cobbler hit the spot.
