Kittery Of Brooklyn

This review is specific to brunch at Kittery.
Kittery is my favorite brunch spot in the neighborhood! I don't understand why it's not packed and impossible to walk into since it really is the perfect spot: warm and attentive service, excellent food, and $1 oysters, clams and shrimp happy hour raw bar specials even on weekends for brunch! (Vs. another old time favorite I used to go to as my regular that charges $3.50 an oyster during brunch).

They have a large, comfortable outdoor area which is partially covered and now that it's getting cold, they've enclosed it so you can still eat there or inside. I've sat in both areas and both are great. Inside is nicely renovated, tasteful decor.

My boozy brunch order includes 2 Aperol Spritzes, classic eggs Benedict which comes with 2 sides so I get fries (Kittery fries or regular) and salad but of course I also start with 3 oysters from the raw bar!

Voila! What more can you want in a brunch?

We came for Kittery's happy hour. You can't beat their $1 raw bar specials : oysters, clams, and shrimps. However, we were very disappointed with their house white and red wine. We did not expect anything top of the line for $5 a glass of wine, but both the white and red wines were terrible. We also ordered the taco special from their Tacos Tuesdays special, 3 for $15. We got the lobster taco, fried fish taco, and the carnitas taco. As a lover of tacos, Kittery's tacos missed the mark with me. They were not very tasty.

We'll definitely return again but will stick to the $1 raw bar happy hour specials.

I've been here a couple of times now. I like their outdoor space a lot and I will keep coming back just for the outdoors. But that Would restrict it to becoming a summer restaurant for me.

The word stuff seems amenable but I don't think a lot of them speak English, as a First Language which is not a problem but I think they try and streamline the process of giving you what it is you want without making too many changes to it

Both times that I've come here I have been seated immediately and given a menu quickly. Service is also fairly quick.

I don't really recommend the drinks the wine is fine but I would save my money for the food. I usually get the fish when I am here and we have tried the oysters as well as The Bronzino and the Zatar tuna. I definitely recommend the latter it is delicious and very well flavored and prepared. The Bronzino is a little more simple in it's preparation but the spinach it comes with is amazing.

I'll definitely be back for more food

Can't beat their happy hour prices on clams, oysters and shrimp.

Happened upon this little cape cod decorate gem while walking on a Saturday.
Perused their menu and saw they offered 1.00 clams, oysters and shrimp.
The regions listed for the seafood were familiar so I gave them a try.

On this visit I didn't order much outside of what I mentioned above.
All items came out fast.
Clams were littleneck. Briny and bitesize. If you're a clam lover, you'll want 12 of these. The oyster were James River. Those not familiar, that's VA. They were small in size but, deep/meaty on the inside. They were good as well. You may want to order more of these as well.
Also on this visit I had the shrimp cocktail. It's your average cold shrimp cocktail. Size of shrimp was L/XL.

Outside of the seafood, I had a somewhat underwhelming beer.
It was Modelo on tap. I thought it would be much crisper but, it wasn't. Maybe it was the end of the keg?

I did not look at any other items on the menu as I was more focused on the seafood task at hand and sips.

I did notice they had a nice taco tuesday menu.

At any rate, I'd probably stop in again for exactly what I stated above...minus the beer. Next time it's can/bottle!

SYOY!

A few Sunday's ago my party of 4 was looking for a place to watch The Jets game around Smith Street. I've walked by Kittery of Brooklyn a million times but have never stopped in. It was a long shot but we stopped in anyways and they had the game on! They were able to accommodate and sit us at a table with a view of the TV. They were having a special event and most of the restaurant was rented out. That didn't stop KOB from providing excellent service.

I had the clam chowder and salmon burger and they were both incredible. Although I forgot to take pictures, the presentation was beautiful.

Very much looking forward to coming back for dinner as their lunch menu didn't highlight everything they do!
Thanks for a great meal and for letting us watch The Jets game!

I can't believe there are still $1 oyster happy hour in 2023. What a find in Brooklyn! It was fresh and delicious and the $1shrimps were also very good. Paired with $5 doghead fish draft beer and $6 red house wine. Surprisingly for the house red was really good and smooth. Service was attentive and the servers were upbeat. Came before Thanksgiving day and the restaurant wasn't very busy but I'll be back for more oysters and to try out other items on the menu.

Are you guys for f-ing real? Look at this 4 inch lobster roll for $33! THIRTY THREE DOLLARS. The plate is 70% salad. This place used to be good but now it's obvious why they're always half empty.

Do yourself a favor and walk 3 avenues to Little Neck - better food, better prices, far less greedy management.

We were in 2 minds about coming here because of the bad reviews, but so glad we did. Lots of lobster in the lobster roll and then we got the mussels in spicy tomato broth, the broth was so so delicious and mussels were fresh. Service was really good and very attentive. Loved the Maine/ocean theme.

Great spot! We stopped in for happy hour and had a few drinks and oysters. The service was friendly and fast, the restaurant itself is super cute and vary spacious, not one of those tiny cramped nyc restaurants. Great experience here!

Not sure why the ratings were so low. The staff were super friendly and helpful.
Happy hour every day even on weekends.
$1 clams, $1 oysters, $1 cocktail shrimps.
Had the margarita and it was delicious. Perfect for weekend brunch and or just any random seafood craving days.
My entree was the fish and chips (got house chips instead of fries). SO GOOD. WILL DEFINITELY GET THIS AGAIN
my friends also loved the crab cake benedict!
