Cozy Prospect Heights staple for soulful brunch and eclectic global comfort plates; great pancakes, wings, and catfish, but service can be slow and auto-gratuity practices frustrate some diners.
Cheryl's Global Soul delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong food quality anchored by beloved signatures like chicken-and-pancakes and blackened catfish. However, quality variation and inconsistent service pacing during rushes prevent a higher grade, while the pleasant proximity to Brooklyn Museum and Botanic Garden and genuine loyal following make it competitive with respected local favorites. Best experienced off-peak or with patience for the lively weekend scene.
One caveat: Waits of 45–60 minutes at weekend brunch are reported; arrive early
