Jive Turkey Is The Best – I fell in love with the idea of fried turkey years ago, but did not know where to try it until I saw this place featured on the Travel Channel. Wonderful, Wonderful, Delicious and finger licking. I had the cheddar sandwich, which is like a melt that features fried turkey with turkey bacon. Loved it. Loved the Strawberry Lemonade, which is homemade. The staff was delightful and guided me through the menu and offered recommendations. I thought it was great and will be back. VALUE: reasonably priced fo... read more

We saw this on TV! Best sandwiches ever! – Great place to eat. We drove miles to find this place, Brooklyn really needed this. Both my kids watch the Food Network and they absolutely love the place. Staff couldn't be nicer and the sandwiches are great. The BLT - Turkey Bacon Club was the best BLT I ever had, Parking was easy too.

DELICIOUS FRIED TURKEY – We saw them on TV and when we got there they greeted us like we were their long lost friends when we said "We saw you on TV" they must hear that 200 times a day. Our turkey was delicious, just like advertised. I also tried a specialty sandwich, the jerk sandwich was spicy and sweet. Their phone system told us exactly where they were as they recently moved, citysearch has the wrong info.

I loved it! Will return for more. – I enjoyed their bestseller which is the turkey which was juicy and moist and mashed potatoes, generous portions of $7.95. Recently having moved the place is under construction but is very cute inside with signage and tons of home baked desserts piled high on the counter. I can't wait to go back and get some of the other dishes, the BBQ ribs and catfish were highly recommended. The turkey chili was sold out by the time I got there but want that too.

Absolutely Terrible – The place was very unsanitary & had a terrible odor. I would not recommend anyone to eat here. I walked in & out because there is no way to enjoy a meal in a dump! Don't waste your time or money.

GOBBLE GOBBLE NOT – I have never been to a place where the attitude from the bird "dead turkey in this case" was better than the owner. I thought this was going to be a great experience but I have had the worst experience with this place. The food is all pre wrapped, so I am not sure when or how long it may have been in the cooler before someone comes along to purchase it. The turkey wraps are soggy, bland and tasteless. The other sandwiches were pretty much the same. The desserts were dry as an african desert. They only wer... read more

Don't Make the Trip – I saw Jive Turkey featured on TV a couple of times and have been dying to have some fried turkey since I had it at Thanksgiving once before. I made the trip to Brooklyn from Manhattan in great expectation to receive a hot, juicy turkey sandwich with fried skin included in it. I was extremely disappointed when after my placing my order the woman brought out the 2 sandwiches I ordered from the refrigerator. She unwrapped them and put them on a press for a couple of minutes then in the MICROWAVE! I was app... read more

My GO SPOT for Food on the GO! -- WONDERFUL Concept, GREAT Food – I love this place! Everything is good from the macaroni & cheese (creamy & cheesy) to the Cajun Catfish (spicy and broiled) but they are known for deep fried turkey, which for the uninitated is delicious, moist juicy and succulent is not breaded or battered but deep fried whole and then carved up and used in sandwiches, salads and entrees. You can buy legs or wings or just breast meat. This is a casual take out restaurant the place you go to when you want the ... read more

Cold Turkey – I went to Jive 11/23/08 when i placed the order the cashier said they didn't have the full menu because, they were very busy for Thanksgiving. So i ordered what was available, Turkey, Mashed Potatoes Veggies and Gravy. Everything came in plastic container warmed in the Microwave. The Turkey was cold, so doesn't matter if was fried or not, because is reheated. I will stick with the TV Dinner at least is cheaper.
