Alex's Luncheonette 685 Knickerbocker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

"Fast-paced, line-serving style establishment with a wide variety of food to suit different preferences (e.g., pescatarian, vegetarian, etc.) Takeout only, no places to sit down. The food is fantastic and I’ll always return."

"This is my #1 Dominican food spot. There is just no other place that can match the yumminess of everything I don't even eat guandules like that but here omg delicious. Rice beans red or peas empanadas steak chicken just everything is delicious yum yum yum"

"My go-to place for Dominican food. The seasoning is top notch. We love to order from here for lunch, dinner, and special events. Highly recommend."

"I came to NYC around a month ago and I was looking for a place like this one, where you can buy affordable, delicious and reasonably healthy food (having eaten too many burgers and sandwiches this month). The portion sizes are quite big, I barely managed to eat all of the meat and half of the rice. The price is similar to what you'd pay to buy a meal at McDonalds, so going to this place instead is a no-brainer. The corn bread was amazing! That being said, I am giving the atmosphere just 1 star because I had the worst time waiting inside. It was also so loud that I could barely hear the person who served me both times I was there. The staff was patient and friendly enough though. The other customers, not so much. In my country, when a place is crowded, you usually wait near the door until the line starts moving, which is what I did. Someone must have thought that I was trying to cut the line and literally whistled at me and pointed to a spot behind him like I was a dog."

"I'm from Washington Heights, aka Little Dominican Republic, and after moving to Brooklyn 16 years ago, GOOD Dominican food has been hard to come by until...... I found Alex's Luncheonette. I only come here for Dominican food and little frituras like quipe's, pastelitos, arepitas, etc. It's good every single time"
