Brooklyn's rotisserie chicken gem w/ smoky spice rub. Must-try sides like addictive fries & killer Caesar.
Willa Moore reviews The Fly, a Bed-Stuy restaurant from the Cervo's, Hart's, and Eel Bar team, praising its no-fuss menu of rotisserie chicken and sides in a cavernous space suitable for various occasions.
This Brooklyn spot is a must-visit for its rotisserie chicken, which is slow-roasted and coated in a unique smoky, brick-red spice mix. Complement your main with their highly recommended sides like fries tossed in the same spice, a light caesar salad, or savory baby potatoes. The restaurant boasts a lively atmosphere, perfect for any occasion, and a strong drink selection to boot.
The star of the show is the rotisserie chicken, lauded for its smoky, spiced exterior and tender meat, though some find it slightly disappointing as a primary focus. However, the sides receive near-universal acclaim, with the fries tossed in signature spices, a light caesar salad, and baby potatoes in rich sauce being standout choices. The icebox cake is generally not recommended.
"The rotisserie chicken is a must-try, especially when paired with their highly recommended sides like the fries, Caesar salad, and baby potatoes. The wine list and cocktails are also noted as excellent."
Customers rave about the delicious rotisserie chicken and highly recommend the flavorful sides, though some found the chicken itself slightly underwhelming compared to the exceptional sides.
