This is the "after Eid prayer" spot. My sisters and I have been going here for awhile. I love that they have beef bacon. It's definitely a neighborhood staple. There's often a wait to sit. The space is cute but I go there for the eats. The staff is friendly. My meal was good. One of my sisters had the fried chicken was a bit salty. I personally can't speak to it because I'm funny with fried chicken and don't eat everyone's. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to some more French toast and beef bacon and a nice sorrel.

So there was a wait, understandable. But, there is no space to accommodate the overflow so you literally are standing outside. Thank goodness that it was a great day outside. We get called approximately 45 minute later. The place when you entered appeared small nut looks can be deceiving. You go down the steps and there is so much space. The music amazing, the vibe amazing. The food was AMAZING. You should be making plans to go !!!

The food here was absolutely amazing! Being from the south, there are certain expectations I have when it comes to soul/Southern food and Shane's did not disappoint! IDK who Shane's is, but you are definitely doing your thing! Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection, the wait staff was friendly and the food did not take long to be served after we sat down. I will definitely be back to this hidden gem for breakfast!

I don't know why this place reviews are under 4 stars ... but you need to go and try. Normally I skip under 4 star places but I was recommended this place by someone who almost goes every weekend. I'm glad I gave it a try. Get yourself those lemon poppy seed pancakes !!! If I could have it again I would. The fried chicken was also really good and flavorful. Honestly I tried everyone's food at my table lol and it was amazing. Service was great , the people are nice and they kept coming around to check on you right on time. I love the ambiance here. It gave off very comfy which I always appreciate. The music was on point. Old school r&b when I went and I loved that. Overall give it a shot

We met one of A's friends, who lives in Brooklyn, for brunch at Shane's. It's a tiny restaurant. When I first entered I wasn't sure I was going to feel comfortable there. I have this whole mental malfunction about being in the way, or my wheelchair taking up too much space. (Thanks, family!) But once the staff figured out how to open the double doors so I could get into the dining room everything was fine. We visited Shane's on our second day in the city and were, unfortunately, running low on funds (the hotel hit us with an unexpected $200 security deposit when we checked in), so I just had a coffee, which was delicious. That's saying a lot because I just realized that I don't like most coffee. At home I use flavored creamers, and still end up pouring most of it out, so I stopped drinking it. Shane's coffee was delicious with sugar and cream. Jeremy had a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich which was very good. And also probably the cheapest item on the menu at $8. We split the check, and the rest of our party had more extravagant meals and cocktails, which they all seemed to enjoy. We found it odd that even though we split the check, it still came on one bill. I've never seen that before, and it caused us some confusion. We had a great time. The staff was pleasant. I was surprised that there weren't any bagels on the menu though.

I always wanted to try chicken and waffles but always thought the combination would be very weird. Well, Shane's changed my mind. The cinnamon waffles are BOMB and the fried chicken is very seasoned. The mimosa aren't worth it to me. It was my first time trying it and it was a 6/10. Only downside the size of the place is very small. It's no privacy to speak or even move around if need be. Other than that Shane's will always be my spot to get chicken and waffles 1000/10 Btw- perfect place to carry out food comes pipping hot. A lot of food for the price.

They were able to accommodate a party of 13 on the whim just like that. Loved that . Customer service A plus. Everyone was so polite smiled and warm. Our serve was awesome. We did the 50 dollar unlimited Mimosa and I had the strawberry flavor. It was delicious. I loved that you can mix and match. I ordered chicken and waffles as the menu was limited with the unlimited mimosas. It was a lot of food. The food was good and fresh. I tasted someone's home fries. Best home fries I've ever had. Area was clean. Close to train station and bus.

This is my second time here and I always forget to review it. Cozy family friendly spot with great prices. I didn't get the best picture but the food was good! Hot and fresh. Me and a friend did the $50 unlimited mimosas and entree for one hour. We had pineapple, mango and strawberry. You will feel it so be careful lol It can get pretty busy so get there early in, before 12. Service is friendly and I always enjoy their music.

A black owned business, this is one I can appreciate and enjoy because the food is authentic and tastes delicious, from the first bite to the last bite. Look no further if you want some Harlem-style soul food. Nice sized portions, and I will say it again, the food is absolutely delicious. The chicken and waffles are a great place to start. First off, the chicken fry is fabulous and it starts burning off your fingers immediately. That is a great sign of a good fry. Not only that, but it has great seasoning and spice. The chicken itself is moist and has great flavor. Oh yeah, get dark meat. I did. That works best with this waffle. The waffle is great too, but it is a little too sweet. I ate this meal so fast to almost forgot to mention it. Two hunky pieces of chicken and four sweet triangles of tasty goodness and this is a solid brunch spot. Everybody is so nice. The wait staff, to the busboys, to the customers asking what you think of the food. It might be a small restaurant, but it works well being that it knows what it is and does not try to be anything more. To prevent fraud, they do ask for ID if you pay with a credit card. This was nothing more than what you would do at a bar. Do not read into the check too seriously. I would return for breakfast, brunch, or lunch.
