Watched the Knicks game here and the staff were incredible. It was an insane situation hosting that many people but they handled it fantastically. The food is solid and the ambiance can’t be beat for a solid bite on a great patio. Highly recommend.

Habana Outpost is perfect for gathering and community. The host Brianna really made our visit worthwhile and made sure we were accommodated. It was at a large group and we received timely service and exactly what I expected for food. Thanks!

Flavors were good, but the food was not cooked well. The pork was so wet that my tacos fell apart and my plate was covered in liquid. My husband's Cubano was the same, had no mustard, and one pickle. The corn was also not cooked properly and was dry. Definitely not worth the prices for the light portions and mediocre meal.
Response from the owner

I really don’t know why people see in this place that it has such a long line during happy hour on the weekdays like a day earlier today when I visited. The place is horrible. It took 40 minutes for us to reach the counter to place our orders in order are two margaritas. This was because there was only one cashier/server taking orders. At the same time serving the drinks, so the line went all the way around the corner. We were extremely hungry so we waited and it’s in the neighborhood so we wanted to try it out What a disappointment . the margaritas taste like pure margarita mix,they literally had no alcohol. The food was mediocre very bland. For them to have the Havana titled and to be serving Mexican food should’ve been more than enough of a clue for me to see the disconnect. The registered lady was nice and she was keeping her cool regardless of having no help and having attempt to about over 100 folks in the line. We ate our food as quick as possible and we got out of there. We still have our margaritas. We went to the liquor store next-door to add some actual tequila to these margaritas but the overwhelming taste of margarita mix prevents us from enjoying themselves. We literally have them here, forcing ourselves to drink them. No music.

Fun spot for some authentic food. The chicken was fresh, the margarita was delicious, and the grilled corn was amazing. There's a reason it's "world-famous."<br><br>Word of caution to anyone who doesn't like it spicy, the grilled corn has some heat to it from the seasoning on top, but it's worth it 😅

We are so happy you enjoyed everything. Welcome to the Habana Family

Easily the best Cuban sandwich I’ve had in NYC — juicy, flavorful, and messy in all the right ways. The bread was perfectly pressed with that satisfying crunch, the pork was tender and dripping with flavor, and every bite hit that perfect balance of salty, tangy, and rich. The fries? Golden, crisp, and actually seasoned (bless). This place clearly cares about doing comfort food right.

Hola, my thoughts exactly! Thank you for your support.

Habana Outpost is a Fort Greene classic.<br>Some seasons ago, this was my stomping ground — back when Ajile was the unofficial Mayor. 🙏🏼Glad to see that the quality of the food remains, and the energy is still very Brooklyn.<br><br>Nothing beats a Habana corn and margarita!

We visited this restaurant for the first time and ordered two bowls: the Roasted Pork and the Beer-Battered Catfish. Both dishes were exceptionally delicious, offering a harmonious blend of flavors. Everything tasted fresh and was generously portioned. The decor was inviting and the atmosphere was great. They have plenty seating options, both indoors and outdoors. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our visit. We can’t wait to come back and ry their famous Cubano Sandwich!

I thought the food was excellent and the frozen drinks were also very good. We had the grilled corn, fish, taco, pork, taco and chicken quesadilla. Everything was really good, reasonably priced and the service was friendly. However, there is no strong AC so we were very hot!

The atmosphere is great always I remember back in the days. I used to deliver chemicals to this establishment and it was always packed. I see a lot has changed but nevertheless still adult place. The rice bowl was great, but not so much the quesadillas they weren’t done well, but I must say the sweet plantains definitely on point
Response from the owner

We appreciate your feedback about the quesadillas not being up to your expectations. Your comments are valuable to us, and we will certainly look into this with our team. We hope to see you again soon for another enjoyable visit!

The outdoor patio was so spacious and really caught our attention. You can order some tacos and drinks, and enjoy the fresh air outside with friends. There’s some indoor seating too, the area was quieter since people were mainly outdoors. The food was good and so were the drinks. You should definitely try their corn!

We bump on this place after liberty games with few friends, and it definitely feel like Mexico. The aesthetic is a bit rowdy but i guess that is what they are going for, I love the food, the art and margarita. Definitely touristy but it’s worth trying and of course Emma was amazing
