About this restaurant

Romantic
Good for special occasions
Innovative

Nine childhood friends with parents hailing from different islands in the Caribbean came together and created a restaurant and bar reflecting the foundation of their lasting friendship: Good food, good drinks and good times. BK9 serves Caribbean-inspired food that reflects what the 9 members grew up eating with their families in Brooklyn. The one of a kind menu takes the authentic cuisine from Haiti, Trinidad, and Jamaica and adds modern culinary technique and innovation that results in a uniquely refined and delectable experience. BK9 is committed to providing a healthier fresh variety of ingredients elegantly prepared to excite the palate. The 9 have captured the essence of their story as young men of immigrant parents growing together in Brooklyn recalling laughter, great conversation and memorable times while adding decadent flare, delicious cocktails and great vibes.

I like the restaurant, but overpriced. The Caribbean theme is interesting, the food was good, but expensive for the type of meals served.

I was there on a Saturday night with two friends. We had a reservation but still ended up waiting for a little over 30 minutes. The drinks were great, the oxtail empanadas were DRY, and my fried chicken was undercooked. I sent it back to the kitchen and requested a different piece but the waitperson returned with the same piece of chicken refried. A manager/ owner asked me if I was "ok" I explained to him what I wanted and requested and he, in turn, did the same thing the waitperson did -- return with the same piece of refried.

The food was ok. Service was good I feel for the taste it’s overpriced and not worth what we paid...
