10/10 experience at Footprints! Our waiter, Kayla, was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Her excellent service made the experience even better. I ordered the oxtail pasta, and it was absolutely amazing—perfectly tender, packed with flavor, and the portion size was huge, definitely worth it. Everything from the food to the hospitality exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Footprints and can’t wait to come back!

I celebrated my daughter’s graduation dinner with my family, and Adia, the manager, was our server. Her level of professionalism was amazing. From the moment we entered, she cracked jokes that made us smile and feel welcome. She even made a delicious celebration dessert for my daughter, which she absolutely enjoyed.<br>The food came out on time, and the drinks she recommended were delicious. Adia truly made our experience special, and because of her outstanding service, I will definitely be coming back. I’ll also be recommending her to everyone I know.

What an incredible dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious, but the star of the day was the amazing fried snapper. It was perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside—easily one of the best fish dishes I've had in a long time.<br>A special shout-out to our server, Lekeshia, who provided outstanding service from start to finish. She was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Her warm personality and excellent recommendations made the experience even more enjoyable.<br>If you're looking for authentic Caribbean flavors, great hospitality, and unforgettable fried snapper or their infamous Rasta pasta dishes, this restaurant is a must-visit. I can't wait to come back!

Was here with one of my favorite girl pals for her birthday. Stephaine was our amazing waitress, she was friendly and attentive to us during our luncheon. Played Happy Birthday song for my girlfriend. Stephaine really made our day a bit more special.

Came to home of the Rasta pasta and was glad I got to check them out. Aalyeah, our waitress was amazing. Very friendly, attentive and good vibes. The rasta pasta with oxtail pretty good. Nice & creamy and felt like the portion was good. Also had some Sorrel which was tasty! Looking forward to coming back!

The food, the vibes , the service!!!<br><br>-The food was delicious and true to it's Caribbean roots while totally open to pushing the envelope of fusion cuisine. Pictures coming. Rasta pasta is the truth!<br><br>-The ambience was cozy and welcoming. There is a bar along the strip between the front and back that covers some space but it was still easy to navigate through. There was also some nice place to take pictures inside and outside.<br><br>-The service was pretty good!<br>I'll start with this though: We had to wait a bit for seating and to get the ball rolling to initiate the walk in. It was pretty busy, sure but it would've been smoother still if there was someone who could've gotten to us in less than 4 minutes. We waited about 6 minutes. I'd recommended strategically placing someone near the front despite the increase in traffic. Someone who could help the walk ins before they potentially change their mind.<br>However, once we got, someone, the communication was pretty good. Big ups to Stacie. She even took a number down to let us know when a table would be open for us. When we sat, we were in Stephanie's care. (Big ups here too!) She was attentive, patient, and plenty accommodating from start to finish. We were able to get some birthday accommodations toward the end of the experience and it was an overall great time. We will come again!

Food was incredible. Had the oxtail and a steamed vegetables, custom. With plantains it hit the spot. One of the best spots in Brooklyn. My server Kayla kept checking up on me and gave me a tip on the scotch bonnet pepper, don't know if everyone is like her so you might have to ask for her, she knows drinks and food. Don't sleep, this is the spot.<br><br>A can't miss Brooklyn Caribbean spot.

Great to have Uber eats deliver. The cheesecake looks and taste like regular cake with pineapple pieces or something else. Perhaps a mixup. Delicious creamy rasta pasta but the BBQ chicken was hard rough and next day was papery. Please cook that chicken some other way! Absolutely love the Caribbean salad with fresh fruits like mango and veggies.

A coworker had recommended Footprints to me & I’ll have to thank him tomorrow. I went there for lunch & enjoyed their Rasta Pasta dish which it is known for. I meant to order the jerk shrimp as an appetizer but it topped the Rasta Pasta & to my surprise it was amazing. I wasn’t sure how the spices from the shrimp would taste with the mild cheesy sauce but it was delicious. The waitress taking care of me was very polite & helpful. I choose to dine outdoors since it was a gorgeous day & had the pleasure of conversing with one of the chefs who stepped outside for a moment. They had a nice variety of nonalcoholic beverages & since I was driving I decided to try one the waitress recommended: pineapple passion & it was very good. For dessert I went with the Red Velvet Cake & though it may look small it was rich & extremely filling, not to mention delicious. I can’t wait to go back.
