Dinner and Drinks at 9 Bushwick Restaurants The Michelin Guide Forgot
What to Order: Shrimp & Grits, High Cotton cocktail
With its mood lighting, roomy bar seating, and extensive cocktail menu, Mama Joy’s works just fine as a standalone bar. But it’d be a shame to overlook their southern-style comfort food, which works whether you’re looking for a full, leisurely meal, or just to sop up your last round of drinks with an order of hush puppies or mac and cheese. If you’re sitting down for an honest-to-god dinner, you can’t do much better than their buttery, generously portioned shrimp and grits washed down with a decadent combination of Bulleit, St. Germain, and champagne.
