Van Horn Now Open

Van Horn Sandwich Shop is open and doing very well from the looks of the crowd that stood just past the unassuming entrance waiting to be seated this afternoon. Owner, Jacob Van Horn, is from North Carolina and brings this southern inspiration to the simple dishes served up at this 30 seater restuarant. They have sandwiches (Fried Chicken, Fish, Pimento Cheese to name a few), really comforting sides like mac and cheese and hush puppies, and a short but really great beer list, which is listed below due to it's awesomeness.

Van Horn, 231 Court Street, is open for lunch and dinner from 11AM-11PM. Check back in a few weeks to see if they're doing breakfast.

Van Horn Sandwich Shop

The space that used to be Cafe Mei Mei, and Cafe Ribant before that, now has brown paper covering it's windows with a sign saying "Van Horn Sandwich Shop-Coming Soon". They have a website, vanhornbrooklyn.com, but it's not up and running yet so we don't have too much more to report on. We did find this comment about the new restaurant made on brownstoner.com. "Van Horn is the owner's last name. Think fried chicken." Hmmmm. Just a little taste of what's to come.

Van Horn is located at 231 Court Street and the phone number is 718-596-9707
