Brooklyn South — Restaurant in Saint Petersburg

Wow! Just wow! Brooklyn South is everything a sandwich shop should be; unique sandwiches, charcuterie, drinks; including beer & wine, hot & cold snacks and above all else CHEESE! Lots & lots of cheese! I've been going to Brooklyn South for over a year now and I've tried many of the sandwiches and their charcuterie and their food is some of the finest around. If you're a 1st timer I suggest giving the charcuterie a try that way you can taste some of the meats and cheeses for yourself and discover just how delicious the food is. Every sandwich I've ordered has been better than the last. The Italian, the Corned beef, Turkey & fig, Mango Turkey, Pulled Pork and Vermont Cheddar. All of those sandwiches are spectacular! But most importantly they're special! I haven't seen another place that offers such eclectic options. The customer service is awesome. The guys make you feel like you're their number one customer by engaging with you. They know what they're doing so don't be afraid to ask them what they suggest. If you're a fan of sandwiches and cheeses Brooklyn South is the place for you. I've attached pictures of the menus to give you some idea of what they have to offer. I hope you give it a try and enjoy it just as much as we do. A side note: we travel from Lakeland to St Petersburg just to give you an idea of how much we...

Ordered the jerk chicken and asked the guy what I could get on it rather than mint goat cheese. He recommended the red pepper "PASTE". I've had red pepper pastes before but this guy brought out a bunch of thick chunked up red peppers instead.

So I decided I would just take that one home to my son who would like it. The guy came to the table and I asked for a new jerk chicken sandwich without the red pepper chunks. We also had to remind him to bring my wife's Mac and cheese.

After waiting another 20m for my new sandwich and seeing everyone else finishing their meals the guy pops out and tells me they are out of chicken. This goes along with the fact that the board said they were out of brisket, pork, and other items.

By this time I wasnt really feeling like sitting there eating while everyone else has already finished.

Gave them 2 stars because the bite I had from my wife's sandwhich was okay.

The frink selection sucked really bad. Only whack IPA brands and waters.

The total for our 1 messed up sandwhich, 2 correct sandwhiches, Mac and cheese and 3 drinks was $40

Not sure I would come back here or not. Like I said no meats available, horrible drink selection, very limited seating, very expensive especially when I didn't even get to eat!

Thanks...

If sandwiches were superheroes, The Finest Cuban from Brooklyn South would wear a cape made of Swiss cheese and save the world with mustard mayo. I don’t know what kind of pork sorcery they’ve got going on in that kitchen, but one bite of this sandwich and I was ready to change my name to José and move to Little Havana.

The sandwich was so good, I almost wept. Not because of emotion, but because I tried to take too big a bite and the pickles fought back. Worth it.

And don’t get me started on the name “Whadda Mean.” I said it out loud and someone handed me a sandwich. Brooklyn South gets me.

The root beer float? Seven dollars and a one-way ticket back to your childhood. Nostalgic, fizzy, and just the right amount of danger for a lactose-intolerant adult.

Sandwiches are stacked, prices are fair, staff is friendly, and I left spiritually fulfilled and slightly bloated—just how a deli visit should be.

10/10. Will be back to try the “Say What?” because I still don’t know what it is—but my mouth is ready.
