Alex's Luncheonette — Restaurant in New York

5 reviews 5.0 star rating 7/5/2016 I've been coming to Alex's for years! I'm a Realtor, so I sell real estate all over Brooklyn. Why is this important? Well, because I get so freakin' excited when I get a listing close to some good food. I could have done back flips when I saw the address of my latest listing. On the same block as Alex's? I will be showing that place for no greater reason than to have an excuse to drive over to Alex's. Seriously! If you guys have not eaten some of their AUTHENTIC Dominican food, please drop what you are doing and head there right now. I don't care if you already ate. Believe me, once you smell the food and see it with your own eyes, your belly will never forgive you if you do not get something there. This is a no frills place so if you are looking for a place to sit and be served, this isn't for you. As a matter of fact, don't rely on the delivery service either. Every time I read a bad review about the place, this is what they complain about. Delivery? Really? No one complains about the food though. If you like authentic Dominican food, this is the spot to go to if you are in Bushwick or close enough to it. So get off your butt and go down to Knickerbocker and Cornelia. You will NOT be disappointed!...

I came to NYC around a month ago and I was looking for a place like this one, where you can buy affordable, delicious and reasonably healthy food (having eaten too many burgers and sandwiches this month). The portion sizes are quite big, I barely managed to eat all of the meat and half of the rice. The price is similar to what you'd pay to buy a meal at McDonalds, so going to this place instead is a no-brainer. The corn bread was amazing! That being said, I am giving the atmosphere just 1 star because I had the worst time waiting inside. It was also so loud that I could barely hear the person who served me both times I was there. The staff was patient and friendly enough though. The other customers, not so much. In my country, when a place is crowded, you usually wait near the door until the line starts moving, which is what I did. Someone must have thought that I was trying to cut the line and literally whistled at me and pointed to a spot behind him like...

This restaurant places preferences on non-Black people. They allowed hispanics to skip others who do not appear as Latinx.

I went today to get food. Their lining system is very unproductive and they do not keep mind of the order. They allowed someone who was Latinx to skip me and when I addressed it to the client, it became an argument, rather than them acknowledging the concern and addressing the issue, they defended the client who skipped me. I speak Spanish, which they ignored of me because I am Black. Even after the argument, we both got our foods and they said in spanish that they were trying to push me out.

This place is racist and their food isn’t even that good. I will be working with community members to address the anti-Blackness of this restaurant. Dominicans are racist and it’s sad that a place that has many Black Dominicans, they do not identify as such and treat Black presenting people differently.

Please do not go here....
