Was Lynn V at Down Home Cookhouse a mag?
CLOSED. We thoroughly enjoyed Down Home, especially their fried chicken, excellent rotating seafood specials, homemade desserts, and reasonable prices. Sadly, it is no longer in business. View all feedback.

What Von DiMaggio dislikes about Down Home Cookhouse:
The food and service here are outstanding, earning a solid five stars. However, the restaurant itself could use some refreshing; it has not changed since it opened six years ago and comes across as somewhat outdated. View all feedback.

This is the best restaurant that has opened in Brooklyn in a long time! Everything is homemade and delicious. I have never had a bad meal here and would highly recommend the walleye, salmon, and huh.

We thoroughly enjoyed our takeout order last week. We had several salmon specials, and I had the app crab cakes and sides as my meal. Extra thanks for grilling chicken tenders for my daughter as a special request. And their desserts are excellent! Great to have them just down the road from us.
