(ed. note: BrooklynJay has resurfaced with this review of Peaches in Bed-Stuy!)
Peaches.
393 Lewis Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11233
I realize that Peaches is in Bed-Stuy and is quite a bit of distance away from Clinton Hill, it was like a 10-15 minute drive for me, but the food, the atmosphere and the service makes it a worthwhile trip. I really enjoyed my meals there – there were so many choices on the menu I went back to back nights just to try as much of the food as I can.
Peaches is owned by Craig and Ben of the infamous Smoke Joint and Little Piggy Market in Ft. Green. They took their years of experience in the restaurant business and finally opened up their own “sit down and be waited on” place using a similar formula that made the Smoke Joint and Little Piggy Market so successful – good home style food using fresh ingredients at good prices.
The indoor space (there’s outdoor seating as well in a fenced in private area) is really pretty and nice with very high ceilings and lots of lights creating a very comfortable and welcoming feeling. I saw families there, people who were there for a romantic evening out, friends just getting together for a meal and to catch up – and it all worked. They all happily coexisted in the same space and everyone was having a good time.
The menu is very “New Orleans influenced” but will probably change as different items come into and fall out of season. It’s priced very reasonable as there isn’t any menu item over $20 and quite a few choices in and around the $10-15 range.
Sorry for the bad food photos but it’s tough to take pictures of food and make it look good without staging the food properly. (Though the kitchen does do a good job on presentation don’t you think?)
We’ve got the (l to r and top to bottom) Ceasar Salad, the BBQ Shrimp, the Fried Green Tomatoes, the Beef Short Ribs, the Brickhouse Chicken, the Gumbo and for dessert, the Mixed Berry Shortcake.
I really like Peaches. Everything I had was very good. I definitely think it’s a great addition to the dining scene in Brooklyn.

Wow food looks great!
ps Unlike regardless and irregardless, infamous and famous do not mean the same thing.
Aw man! Brooklyn Jay beat us to the punch (or to the plate in this case)! Great photos, great review. Can’t wait to get over there myself.
Try the roasted cauliflower or the truffled grits next time. I love this place.
Yeah, to call them ‘infamous’ is not exactly a compliment.
Food looks good and I know Craig and Ben know what they’re doing. Thanks for the writeup, Jay- looks delicious!
A little far out indeed. The walk does not seem the safest.
The walk is safer than a person of color walking thru Howard Beach.Thanks for the review. The food looks delish. Anyone been to the new restaurant in Clinton Hill in the old Boca Spot called Dajeh? How is the food?
houseowax that is an ignorant comment. and here’s an idea for you, how ’bout you take the bus or the train?
What’d I say1 What’d I Say!!??
I think JD was really calling out “Sideofsunny” but got his names messed up… if you’re going to insult someone, JD, pleas remember the name is BELOW the comment. Cheers.
Kyle,
“irregardless” is not a word.
I agree: irregardless is not a word.
sorry.
Yes I know but its commonly used.
Another annoying word that doesn’t exist but is used frequently, “conversate”.
And if YOU are going to call someone out SARA then maybe you should get their names right. . . I did not make that comment, some other dipsh*t with the same initials did. Cheers to you.
Does anyone else think Smoke Joint is WAY overrated?
Every time I order (delivered) a burger from Maggie B’s it’s burnt.
Have you tried Square Root Cafe on 584 Myrtle? It has free Wi Fi and is super chill with friendly staff (and customers when I was there), it’s like an old school soda/ice cream place but has food and brunch as well. The ice cream is OUTSTANDING – I had an excellent affogato last Sunday! There are a few new places (new to me) in the area of Myrtle between Emerson & Classon, btw.
I was in Cafe Martino the other day and Martin was saying that they’re fighting to stay open. If you’re in the area , PLEASE check them out- you won’t be disappointed. We order from them frequently and the food is great, but going there is an even better experience . The owners are the nicest people and I hate to think of them losing their place.
I tried cafe martino and got ‘mystery meat’ posing as prosciutto. Seriously it was inedible and I was starving.
all that food at peaches looks good but really fattening. . . maybe when winter rolls around I’ll check it out.
