There was a small wait when we arrived, but we were welcomed to the bar. The service was top notch—really attentive and warm staff here. The food is just consistently comforting and delicious here. It’s our second time now and this particular spot might be a little Sunday routine for us from now on! What a gem in this neighborhood!

We had such a lovely experience at Jack’s Wife Freda! The staff was incredibly accommodating,especially with our little one, which made the meal so much more enjoyable. The whole branzino was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented light, flavorful, and fresh. It’s such a welcoming spot with a great atmosphere, and they made us feel right at home. Definitely one of those places that’s as good for families as it is for a casual date or brunch with friends. Can’t wait to go back!

the restaurant itself has a calmer atmosphere when compared to the SoHo location. Servers are attentive and do their best to ensure what you ordered it’s satisfactory or they will remake it. Drinks could be slightly bigger portion for the price.

Our waitress was great and was able to help us navigate the menu regarding our food allergies (of which they were accommodating). The food was good but the portions were really small compared to the price. You definitely getting any bang for your buck

One of my favorite spots! Loved discovering Jack’s Wife Freda in Williamsburg after knowing it in West Village. Delicious Mimi’s Salmon Burger, a fun Pink Guzzler , and the friendliest staff—perfect solo date vibes.

One of the best grilled fish we ever had in our lives. My friend recommended this place that I should definitely visit before flying back home. Here we are. It’s quite late afternoon before dinner so we ordered one main and one appetizer. We got grilled whole Brazino and the green shakshouka.
OMG, I can’t believe that grilled fish skin could be this crispy meanwhile fish meat can be that moist. It went so well with the spicy sauce. It served with couscous and some veggie. The best combination. The green shakshouka was so-so for me. I probably wish they had more flavor and eggs were less cooked. It’s probably just my preference. ↔️
The store was so chilled. The staffs were super friendly and offered a lot of recommendation. It’s the last meal that completed our trip to NY.

Jack’s Wife Freda is the brilliant lovechild of the grandson of two immigrants, Jack and Freda, who met in Johannesburg in 1930. The first location opened in 2011 and they have 5 locations in NYC now!
This weekend was our third visit to the very busy Brooklyn location and, per usual, it lived up to the hype!! This diverse menu offers an eclectic selection of mastered dishes inspired by South Africa, Israel and NYC, complimented by imaginative cocktails.
We began with the Sunshine on Carmine and Margarita Rocks cocktails and the Fried Halloumi as an appetizer. I have indulged in fried Halloumi before, but JFW takes it up several notches! The brilliant combination of mildly hot spice, sweet grapes and drizzle of EVOO are the perfect partner to this cheese turning what could lean heavy to a light and lovely explosion of flavor! It was so delectable it was hard not to request a second order!!!
For our entrees we selected the Salmon a la Plancha and Peri Peri Chicken. The Salmon was expertly prepared, brushed with a slightly sweet, nutty and tangy sesame soy glaze, slivers of radish, toasted sesame seeds and served over the most delicious tender sauteed kale!! A perfect plate for these hot summer days.. substantially satisfying but not too imposing
The Peri Peri Chicken was incredible! A spatchcock chicken boasting a citrusy/spicy flavor, roasted to perfection but still tender and juicy! Served with a bright diced cucumber salad to offset the heat from the sliced jalapenos that top this beautiful chicken, it was a true culinary delight!!!
Last, we decided to give Noam’s Malva Pudding a try after our attendant provided a spot-on flavor description. This very delicate, fluffy and light South African sponge cake is soaked in a sweet caramel syrup and served with a generous amount of fresh whipped cream. The cake was tender and vanilla forward and the whipped cream was not overly sweet, so it complimented the cake without overpowering the star of this incredible treat!
I am always stoked when a restaurant maintains what made it outstanding for the long haul. JFW is one of those places..consistently delicious!! If you have not yet had the pleasure..do not wait another second, this NYC gem is well worth the visit!! I suggest a reservation, though walk-ins are welcome, as this place draws a crowd!!

Patient and warm staff. Came in with my mom friends and our 3 toddlers. The food is obviously great too. 4:45pm is pretty empty so a great time to go if you have rambuctious kids or need to sit solo!

Everything was so good! The food, service, atmosphere. Overall just a very pleasant experience. We love our server, she was very helpful and polite, also thoughtful.
The seating was very comfortable and it’s def one of those restaurants you would have to try when you’re in NYC!
Nothing but praise.
I ordered salmon burger with fries, it was so good. My mom had chicken schnitzel m, it was also very good. But the cherry on top was the pumpkin spice coffee. OMG you have to try!!! I want to drink 2 of those. I ordered light syrup but it was already very good.
