Taste of Heaven

The $15 large dinner for this much homey, yummy food is such a great deal. The ribs come off the bones easy and have a great flavor. I ordered the spicy flavoring but do think it could be even more spicy!I went during 3pm during a weekday and some items (main proteins as well as sides) were already sold out, so if you want a full list of selection, go early.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, so I finally stopped by when I was in neighborhood! I got there when they opened on a Saturday, and I ordered a large portion ($15) of the jerk ribs with mac & cheese and collard greens as sides (every meal comes with one meat, two sides, and cornbread). There's nowhere to sit inside, but there are a few tables on the sidewalk. The tables are exposed to the sun, though, so I took my food to go.The food was super flavorful and delicious. The ribs were tender and well-seasoned, and the cornbread was moist. I really liked the collard greens, and the mac & cheese was solid. Overall a really good place for soul food at a great price - I wish this place were closer to where I live so I could stop by more often! Highly recommend.

Y'ALL! When I tell you this is some of the best food I've ever had, I'm not exaggerating! The jerk ribs were so tender and flavored to perfection. I got the macaroni and cheese, cabbage, and cornbread. They paired so well and "tasted like heaven". The portion size was pretty good for the price too.On top of the great food, the customer service was phenomenal! We encountered a fun bunch who didn't mind being on camera and they honestly felt like extended family. As if it needs to be said, go check this place out. You won't be disappointed!

Overall rating: 4.4Of course I heard of this place through Keith Lee.. I went on a Saturday at 4 & everything was sold out. I wasn't a fan that they wait to tell you this news until you're inside (already in line) and at the counter. They should consider having a sign outside. The location was in East Williamsburg which is a chill area. So I was surprised they had a "security guard/ bouncer" indicating when you can come into the room. The process was very confusing and I didn't know even with his guidance on when it was my turn. It would be great if they clear signs in general on what was happening. Definitely felt out of place. The food that was available was good! The Mac and cheese and fried chicken was good. And they do tell you how long to wait for the other items. I liked the food, but the service and experience was a bit of a turnoff for me. I live in deep Brooklyn and not sure if it's worth the commute for me.

Taste of Heaven truly was a slice of heaven!The hubby and I stopped here early afternoon on 5/25/2024 (a Saturday). We got two small plates, one with Jack Daniel's ribs, collard greens and rice and peas. We also got the regular turkey wings, mac and cheese and green beans. Lastly, both items came with cornbread and we got a side of potato salad too. The food was very good, the Jack Daniel's ribs and the cornbread were the standouts, they were superior. The rice and beans were also very good. The green beans needed more seasoning and the potato salad was a miss for me. The other miss for me was the number of items they were out of by early afternoon, the hubby and I went here a bit early just to make sure we had the full menu available to us, so it's disappointing that they stop making items so early. We will definitely be back, but I guess next time we will come closer to opening time.

We stumbled into this place around lunch time on a Thursday. It was funny that they actually have a doorman (wait I know I'm in hipster-land, Door-person is prob pc)controlling the crowds. We waited about 15 months until til we were granted access. It's a small place without any interior tables so the crowd control made sense. My co-worker and I both grabbed a small lunch plate (1 meat, 2 sides $13), he got the Jack Daniels chicken w/ collard greens and mac and cheese. I got jerk ribs w/ mac and cheese and rice and beans. We managed to grab an exterior table and we dug in. Boy oh boy was is all so good. My ribs were nose running soicy and tender. The best compliment I can give to the sides is I couldn't stop eating them. I had to pull myself away. Same goes for my co-worker, his chicken looked tender and flavorful. He too couldn't stop eating. Great service, all was delish, give it a try.

The name is very appropriate. The taste and oil will bring you straight to heaven. If you are on a diet you should come here and forget that your on a diet. Yummy Yummy in my tummy

Food was absolutely delicious. Would I come here again? DEFINITELY!!! The place felt so nice and homely and nostalgic in a winter evening.

Really looked forward to trying Taste of Heaven. There are positives, but very sorry to say this was the most disappointing place to try in quite some time. Unfortunately, the fish and shrimp were extremely overcooked and lacked flavor. They were cooked likely twice as long as they should have, I mean, cooooked. The shrimp were inedible, could not be chewed. The fish had plenty of seasoning visibly, but no flavor, which was odd. I so wish I'd tried it before leaving, so I could have rectified the situation with the restaurant. But I had also waited an hour after placing the order, so I was eager to leave. The wait was long as mentioned, which wasn't an issue to me and isn't factored into the rating. Some places aren't ready with all menu items, esp seafood, upon opening so I know the deal and had realistic expectations. They did keep me updated, but only after about 45 mins of waiting. The mac and cheese was great. The mixed veg were fine, but wouldn't recommend. The sample of cornbread they give was cute, about 2 square inches. It was ok, a bit drier than most.

My first time going to this restaurant and the food was delicious. The service was amazing and people were very friendly. The store reminds me of the old time restaurants you find in the south that i like and you definitely know they add some southern taste to their food. This is what Taste of Heaven was definitely giving. Mac and cheese, ribs, collards, cabbage, and dont forget the fried fish.
