Give me Bajan food everyday! I grew up on this food so I am ecstatic one is in my neighborhood. Bajan food is slept on and Culpepper is here to awaken it. This is a must try and watch how you come back for more. They had jam puffs, salt bread and the star: cou cou. Seasoning was on point, flavor on point and food aesthetic on point. Bajans do it the best. My one complaint is the free okra needed to be cooked more in the cou cou. I really hope they also invest in an A/C unit for the comfort of themselves and others. Please support

The ambiance of Culpeppers is very welcoming. I feel as if I am walking into more than a bakery and restaurant. I feel as if I'm walking into a a establishment that is very Caribbean. The two women always are courteous and patient. They always are watching the pot and very skillful. The dish I had was Pigeon peas and white rice. The side a side of mixed vegetables with cabbage. The entree was a succulent chopped chicken(dark meat). It was prepared excellently and also was so good that I didn't even need a beverage after.

Culpepper's! This is another of these reviews where I don't even feel worthy to review it. How can you review an institution? It's excellent. Everything is excellent. They're flying fish was delicious. There are salt. Fish was incredible. You can't go wrong with anything here. Go there. Get whatever crosses your mind. Go home. Enjoy it. You will never be disappointed here.

Best fish cakes in Brooklyn. Best flying fish in Brooklyn. Awesome homemade drinks. Rest of the food is also fire. This is an NYC landmark, & should be treated as such!

Short Review: Get the COU COU w/ stewed fish, vegetable or chicken. Place looks run down but the food is the best Bajan food consistently for decades!!! No parking nearest train station Sterling Place on the 2 train Longer review: I cannot believe I haven't reviewed this spot I have had their food for over 2 decades. But after actually going to Barbados to have the authentic food I just had to do this now. A lot of this menu is actually hard to find in Barbados considered antiquated by the younger locals. "Youth is waisted on the young". Considered to be more like home cooking. Such a real shame. I was able to find some cou cou at a ridiculously expensive restaurant as an appetizer which contained a small square(!!!!) of cou cou. All this to say we are blessed to have this delicious bajan food in abundance here. What to get? The Cou Cou! It is a cornmeal staple that comes with stewed something. You pick the something: fish, chicken, beef, veggies, etc. I prefer breadfruit cou cou it is almost never available and I do not know anyone else who does prefer it. Sides are okay. Somethings to try would be Conkies, Paime( think a sweet pasteles made with corn flour), macaroni pie, cassava pone( heavy and very sweet). Not a fan of their Cheese Cutters(Sandwiches with block cheese) get the King Fish Cutter if you do get one. Here is the downside: Call ahead: very popular & sell out of things quickly, This is not really an eat-in spot. There are chairs by the window. Allen's Bakery is across the street so parking is impossible. Sterling Place on the 2 Train is the nearest transit stop.

The food here is pretty good and the vibe is nice. Got some chicken, mac and cheese, and some veg and it was all pretty good and substantial. Could do with a lil more gravy on the meat/rice but a good meal overall.
