The 50 best spots for French toast in Brooklyn

Fries was so good and the watermelon in the watermelon salad was very ripe. Burgers were gigantic and hard to eat. Service was super super slow though. Lots of out door seating all in the shade.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Leaves never disappoints! The Moroccan Scramble was bursting with flavor—perfectly spiced, hearty, and balanced in every bite. Pairing that with their Ricotta Pancakes was absolute magic. The pancakes were light, fluffy, and indulgent, with just the right touch of sweetness—truly next level. The vibe is classic Five Leaves: lively, stylish, and welcoming, with a menu that always manages to impress. If you’re in the area, this spot is a must for both comfort and creativity

Such a great spot! The ricotta pancakes were amazingly fluffy and just sweet enough. The crispy chicken sandwich and fries totally hit the spot. Staff was nice even though it was packed, and the outdoor seating’s perfect for a sunny day.

We ordered the egg sandwich, the big breakky plate, and a latte. The food tastes good—nothing mind-blowing, but definitely something I’d come back for. The egg sandwich has a rich, cheesy flavor, and the tomato sauce adds a great extra layer. I especially liked the sautéed mushrooms on the big breakfast—they have a unique herbal/spiced taste that stands out. The latte was just okay. Service overall was a bit slow, likely due to how busy it was, so be prepared for a bit of a wait.

Brunch Vibes Worth the Hype! Had brunch with my cousin and let me just say, every bit of the hype is so well deserved. We went on a weekday around 11am, so it wasn’t too busy, which made it even more enjoyable. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome by the friendly staff. That energy sets the tone right away! I’d read about the Ricotta Pancakes and had to see what the fuss was about, they did not disappoint. We also had the Grain Bowl with a side of steak and halloumi, and every bite was packed with flavor and texture. I don’t drink alcohol, but I love a good mocktail. “Waters of Life” was a winner—especially if you’re into bold ginger and turmeric flavors like I am. Best part? You can treat yourself without breaking the bank. Trust me, this spot is a gem. I’ll definitely be back soon!

Their brunch was decent. Overall pretty tasty although the fries too salty. Service was ok. Could be more attentive. The vibe was off. Very cramped and chaotic. Not a relaxing brunch. But we were seated inside. Maybe the outdoor seating is better. In conclusion: meh

five leaves was the first restaurant i visited on my first ever trip to nyc in 2017. ever since then coming back here has become a tradition. 8 years on and the spot is still just as warm and welcoming, albeit way more busy which is incredible to see because the place deserves to thrive. easily my fav spot in the city (i fully blame the ricotta pancakes). i haven’t been to nyc in years but coming back here today felt like coming home in so many ways. thank you cody for taking such great care of me and thank you everyone at five leaves for even making a tourist feel like a part of the community. 🫶 (also pls restock those tote bags, the nation needs them!!)

some of the best pancakes i have ever had in my entire life… i’m not exaggerating. we also got the reuben which was to die for. they bring special sides of butter (including strawberry butter) and the ambiance inside is that of the perfect, classic, breakfast diner (the way it should be). This is a great place to stop before going to BBG (that’s what we did)

Disclaimer: This is my personal experience. If something doesn’t go as expected, I always believe in giving the restaurant a chance to make it right. Most places will, and Tom’s definitely did. I stopped in craving something specific — an open-faced beef sandwich — even though it wasn’t on the menu. I asked, and they made it happen without hesitation. The beef was tender, layered over toast, and smothered in rich brown gravy. Total comfort food. Nothing fancy, just honest flavor that hit the spot. It’s the kind of old-school hospitality that makes you feel like more than just another customer. Major appreciation to the team for saying yes when they didn’t have to. Sometimes the best dishes are the ones made off-menu with a little heart.

Don’t be intimidated if there’s a line, there is a lot more seating than there appears to be. You should be in after 10-15 minutes tops. That being said, I ended up getting the Danish pancakes, I was expecting it to be a little cheesier, but I would liken it to a blueberry tart in pancake form. It was really good, I also got a strawberry milkshake which was good too. I would recommend splitting with someone if possible as they give a lot more food than you think you will get. I saw most people around me leave food on the plate, I know that is a good problem to have.

The best cinnamon roll pancakes I’ve ever had . Decided to visit here instead of IHOP super last minute and was such a wonderful choice . I dined in with my best friend and we had an amazing time. We didn’t spend much and the vibes were immaculate. The food was served fast hot and ready. 10/10

I love every time I eat at Tom’s. The staff is incredibly efficient and the food exactly satisfies the “classic diner” craving. We arrived around 2:30 on the Sunday, were sat at a table in 15 minutes, and our food came our way a little more than 7 minutes after we ordered !!! My favorite place to meet old friends for a substantial meal 🤌🏼

Cash only, affordable Iconic Waited abt 30 min to get seated Highly recommend any pancakes and the fries Love their spicy mayo sauce The omelette are just ok

I love eating breakfast here, everyone is so nice and polite. The food is really good.

Tasty Brunch Spot, fluffy pancakes and mimosas 😋🥞🍾 Came here back in November and just now getting around to this review…but it was memorable enough for me to remember this Sunday morning with my sister and hubby. Wait wasn’t too long but there is a queue…earlier is better. Menu has standard breakfast, brunch and lunch fare. I ordered the salmon salad and was pleasantly surprised with the generous portion of salmon, avocado and crisp fresh veggies. Salmon was cooked perfectly. Pancakes were so good. Crisp edges and fluffy goodness. Hard to share this. Eggs Benedict - good, potatoes could have been a tad more seasoned but they were cooked nicely. Love that you can order just one portion. Mimosas were a good accompaniment to a great brunch. Service was fast and attentive. Nice, lively neighborhood eatery.

Great pancakes and cute atmosphere. We didn’t have to wait to long even with no reservation. Bacon was crispy. I want to come back sometime for dinner! CASH ONLY

Great brunch spot especially when the weather is nice and you can sit outside. Everyone there is super chill, the vibe of the restaurant is cool, food is delicious and the portions are generous. It gets a little crowded during peak brunch hours and there’s wait time even with a reservation but the place is definitely worth it.

So crazy thing but I must say, worst thing here is the pancake. I know it gets all the hype and the other reviews are true, crispy edges and fluffy inside but that’s literally it. The actual pancake has no flavor and needs syrup. I am a fan of specialty pancakes with the fruit in flavor baked/cooked in. If you want a classic pancake that requires copious syrup, here you go! Otherwise skip that. Otherwise the food was shockingly good. We got a couple sunny side eggs and sausage (delicious of course), the open faced grilled chicken sandwich and chips and guacamole….that might have been the best chips and guacamole I’ve ever had. And based on the comments about the chilaquiles I think the sleeper here is the Mexican food. The grilled chicken sandwich was good, great sauce and stuffed once you tried to close it. The sourdough was delicious and toasty. I saw another table order chips and guacamole and clearly got more chips than us so they aren’t standardized with that unfortunately. Our service was also incredibly slow. I saw people who sat after us get food, drink, and get order taken before us. We waited about 20 min to get our orders taken and the food took long to come out. Unfortunately sandwich is not pictured. The Shirley temple was quite good per my bf but I gave up soda for lent so didn’t try. But it was so good he ordered two. I got apple juice and I’m not sure why I got a smaller cup, that’s always a pet peeve of mine, different size cups for juice vs soda or tea. Anyways I would definitely come back for Tex mex night or something else. Menu was extensive and a lot of things (salad, sandwich, pasta) looked good. Once again MUST DROP A STAR IF YOU’RE CASH ONLY IN 2025.

I’ve ordered delivery from here quite frequently and it’s normally good, but I ordered a medium rare salmon today and got something that was ice cold and mealy in the center, something like 80% raw past the surface. I’m guessing they might have cooked the filet straight from the fridge??? Either way it’s not medium rare.

Cute restaurant, decent food, but the service at brunch on a Sunday felt chaotic. It took a while for the wait staff to take our order. While taking our order, the server seemed inattentive. I recall a moment where he was simultaneously pouring coffee with one hand while handing something to the table next to us. Efficient perhaps, but left us feeling like our server was in a hurry. Then, the table next to us that was seated after us got their food before us. I enjoyed my meal, scrambled eggs with salmon. I appreciate that the egg dishes come with both salad and fries, both of which were tasty. Overall it was okay.

We thought having a French breakfast would be the best way to start our day, little did I know, the special was chilaquiles! And I adore them so I ordered some and they were delicious. The coffee was great and the French toast was also fantastic. Great service and lovely atmosphere with good music.

If there’s one NYC spot that truly lives up to its breakfast reputation, it’s Clinton St. Baking Company. I finally tried their famous pancakes this weekend, and let me tell you.. they deserve every bit of the hype. Fluffy, lil crispy on outside, and served with their homemade maple butter sauce that’s honestly addictive.. it’s what makes this dish so uniquely delicious. We also ordered the raspberry yogurt cupcake (light, tangy, and perfectly balanced) and their fried chicken, which was crisped to perfection with a beautiful honey dressing and some hot sauce that tied everything together. Every bite felt like comfort food done right. Simple ingredients, but executed flawlessly. The best part? Despite it being a weekend morning, I didn’t have to wait in the infamous line (which can get really long). I booked ahead on Resy, and it made the experience seamless, definitely recommend doing that if you’re planning a visit. Bottom line: come hungry, book ahead, and don’t skip the pancakes. They might just be the best in NYC

Hands down one of the best brunch places in NY! We been coming here for years and is always consistent! The food is delicious with great quality and the cappuccino always on point! Our favorites are the Blueberry Pancakes (super fluffy), Chicken and Waffles (crispy) and the Special Waffle with the seasonal fruit (fresh). The Maple Butter is a perfect combination! Plenty of indoor seating. Service is always excellent and efficient! Staff always friendly! Also, make a reservation it gets really busy specially on the weekends. Highly recommend it!

Famous for pancakes—and it deserves the hype. The blueberry pancakes are incredibly fluffy with crisp edges and warm maple butter that ties everything together. The chocolate-chip stack is rich and melty without being too sweet. Portions are big (a stack of three is easy to share). Cozy NYC brunch vibe with friendly service and a chalkboard of specials. Expect a wait—go early on a weekday if you can. If you love brunch, this spot is a must.

Clinton Street Baking Company is the perfect spot for breakfast any time of day, even dinner! My friends and I shared an amazing spread: the Brioche French Toast with caramelized bananas, Pancakes with Warm Maple Butter, Crispy Potato Pancakes, and a Fried Chicken Sandwich. Every dish was flavorful, comforting, and very filling, definitely come with an appetite. The staff were kind, patient, and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed, even with a last-minute to-go order. The space at night feels cozy and relaxed, with warm lighting and a lively atmosphere that makes it great for groups or a casual night out.

I went for breakfast and ordered the famous blueberry pancakes with a side of bacon. The pancakes were delicious — light, fluffy, and perfectly cooked. The warm maple butter they serve on top is out of this world and really makes the whole dish stand out. You can tell why these pancakes have the reputation they do. The side of bacon was great too, crispy and flavorful, and paired perfectly with the sweetness of the pancakes. The coffee was good and the service was friendly even though the place was packed. There was a huge line when I arrived in the morning, so definitely make a reservation if you can or go early. It’s one of those NYC breakfast spots that truly lives up to the hype.

Wonderful brunch in a cool neighborhood in NYC. Loved the big windows. Hope they can expand somehow. Everything we got was delicious, though they are light on the salt. Didn’t mind! We started with coffee and a hot buttered rum. Our mains were Spanish scramble with biscuit, Clinton St omelette with biscuit, and blueberry pancakes. I’ll admit I have a sweet tooth but the buttered rum and pancakes were the stars of an already delicious show. We’ve already made a reservation for our next visit.

This place is an absolute gem for brunch lovers! I tried the Wild Maine Blueberry Pancakes with Warm Maple Butter, Latke Eggs Benedict, Fried Chicken & Waffles, Espresso Martini, Habanero Margarita of the Day, and Key Lime Meringue Pie, and everything was delicious! My absolute favorite? The blueberry pancakes, hands down the best pancakes I’ve ever had! Fluffy, warm, and bursting with flavor. The chicken & waffles were a close second, crispy, savory, and perfectly paired. The drinks were just as impressive, especially the espresso martini. The vibe here is chic, classic, and inviting, perfect for a girls’ brunch, a date, or just treating yourself. I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend!!!

Saddell’s Soho - loved it! The smoked salmon and bagels were absolutely delicious—super fresh and flavorful. The omelette was just as delicious, light and tasty. The space itself is lovely. The staff is awesome! Great spot for brunch. Definitely worth a visit!

Sadelle's came highly recommended by friends and it didn't disappoint. The interior decor is very chic and the outdoor patio is well positioned to maintain the ambiance found within the restaurant. The bagel tower was very tasty and the potatoes were delicious. Jordan was an incredible server. He was very attentive and had great recommendations.

My husband and our friend came here for Brunch and boy did it exceed our expectations, it was amazinggg. The atmosphere was so pretty, I couldn’t help but take a pic while waiting to be seated, which didn’t take long. The service was awesome, and the food was SOOOO damn good. We left very happy and couldn’t stop talking about it the whole rest of the day. Highly recommend 10/10.

TLDR: not great. An underwhelming experience for a few reasons. Although the atmosphere and the aesthetic of the restaurant set the standards high, the rest of my experience wasn't great. This was the place I picked to treat myself during a business trip, and it did not deliver as expected. Although they tried to make it right by giving me a discount and offering an extra cocktail, this was the only chance to have a good experience, and discounts can't fix that. I did tip anyway, but the staff did not offer any apologies. It felt a bit like the staff is used to dealing with so many customers that saying they're sorry is not worth the effort. Mishaps can happen I just wish didn't happen during the only lunch I had planned 😕 I paid 30 dollars for a tiny bagel presented nicely. You can save money by going to any bagel shop, and you don't have to assemble the lox bagel yourself. My side dish had a fly in it, unfortunately. No formal apologies were offered, just a "do you want another one?" My mushrooms and barley soup had no barley in it. Cocktails are not worth it the price.

I had an eggs Benedict with ham for $28. It was not worth the price. It was so tiny I was still hungry and I’m a petite woman. The eggs were Luke warm and medium well almost hard boiled. The mimosa was delicious. Won’t be going back here. Then the tables were so close together. Towards the end of our meal a large group was sat right behind me and a man kept his chair so far out that every single person including the wait staff kept bumping into the back of my head. The wait staff should have asked him to push his chair in or they should not have sat them there. They just kept apologizing for bumping me constantly.

A iconic NYC staple! The service, food & atmosphere is amazing! We loved the whole experience and can’t wait to go back! We got the Eggs Benedict & the French toast! The French toast is now in my Top 3 “best I’ve ever had” The only thing getting used to was people’s dogs under the tables haha - that was not my favorite especially inside where you’re eating etc!

Mixed Experience — Not Sure Why It’s So Popular The food is good — not great, but good. However, the service leaves a lot to be desired for several reasons: 1. Kitchen timing is poorly coordinated. They ask you to order all dishes at once but don’t ensure that the starter arrives before the main. I ended up eating my main dish first. When I asked about it, the waiter said he had no control over kitchen timing. 2. Restroom situation is inconvenient. There was a line of six people waiting to use the restroom (unisex). Two restrooms simply aren’t enough for a restaurant of this size. 3. Waitstaff is overstretched. It took me three requests to different waiters just to get more coffee. 4. Inconsistent service attitude. Some hostesses and waiters were polite and genuinely interested in making the experience pleasant, but others seemed indifferent. Overall, the food quality doesn’t quite make up for the service issues.

First visit to Sunday in Brooklyn (fittingly, on a Sunday). We grabbed an outdoor table for two right away — surprising, since I expected the place to be packed. The vibe outside was great on a nice day. What we ordered: • Cheddar Scramble – Eggs with Long Island home fries, multigrain toast, and avocado. • Sunday Pancakes™ – Hazelnut maple praline, brown butter (we went with a double stack). • I added an iced mocha (okay), and I skipped the OJ since it didn’t look freshly squeezed. The food? Solid but not mind-blowing. Scramble was fine, pancakes were sweet and indulgent, but overall it landed closer to a 3/5 than a “wow.” Drinks were passable. Why 4 stars instead of 3? Quick seating, outdoor ambiance, and the novelty of hitting Sunday in Brooklyn on a Sunday. Food wasn’t bad — just not destination-worthy. Would come back if I’m nearby and curious to try something else. Last visited: August 24, 2025

The service amazing. For 2 people they offered a 2 person table, outside or inside, they sat us right away. The food was Fast and tasted fresh. Eggs were done perfectly, soft scrambled, bacon crispy, potatoes were a little too salty, and the shakshuka was a little disappointing, like salsa with pouched eggs, but the bread was crisp and yummy when dipped into the bowl. However, the Sunday pancake was amazing. It’s was like a mini fluffy yellow cake with delicious buttered maple all over. not a maple taste but like a chocolaty buttery nutty flavor. “It was like a reward”. We enjoyed it the most. Overall we understand the hype and definitely recommend to try it for yourself.

Visited Sunday in Brooklyn for brunch and honestly, wow. We got the pistachio hummus with wood-fired flatbread — probably the richest, most flavorful meze I’ve ever had. A total must-try (and so generous we couldn’t even finish it!). Also ordered the warm grain bowl, and it arrived in what felt like 5 minutes — unbelievably fast service. The bowl itself was pure comfort: warm, rich, and beautifully balanced. The eggs were cooked like a soufflé — soft and melting — topped with a gigantic half avocado and a generous handful of pepitas (which I love and rarely see done this well). The rice underneath was so delicious. Finished with a cappuccino, served instantly in a lovely porcelain cup — the perfect touch to end brunch. Our server was incredibly kind and attentive, checking in often to make sure everything was perfect. Honestly, one of the best brunch experiences we’ve had in

Loved the vibes, service, good, and drink. We had the pancake which was enormous but tasted so good especially with its hazelnut chocolate topping. The marshmallow latte was so good. Service was quick and very professional; I would not hesitate to recommend the place and would love to go back again and again to try other dishes

Great find for brunch in Brooklyn! I’m visiting family in town and decided to meet my bestie who lives in Queens for brunch. We searched for breakfast spots nearby and found Sunday in Brooklyn because of its high ratings and appealing menu options. As a former brunch server, I first discovered shakshuka at my old restaurant and instantly fell in love with the robust flavors and perfectly runny poached eggs. While I’m usually an American breakfast type of person, I occasionally love to branch out and try something more adventurous. The Experience: • No wait time - we were seated immediately outside (wasn’t asked about seating preference, though I would have loved to sit inside and check out the interior decor) • Perfect for people watching while catching up with friends • Our server Cameron was overall kind and sweet, though he seemed a bit overwhelmed during busy moments and missed a few requests - had to ask the server assistant for help with some items • Small note: servers should introduce themselves by name (I had to ask for his name after ordering, as I like to greet people personally) What We Ordered: • Oat milk masala chai - delicious and beautifully presented • S’mores latte - gorgeous display • Shakshuka with extra homemade focaccia bread (needed every drop of that amazing sauce!) - loved it, though next time I’d skip the feta • Hazelnut praline pancakes and BLT for my friend The portion sizes are generous and satisfying. I’m definitely planning to come back with my partner to explore more of the menu - there’s so much I want to try! Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality brunch with interesting options beyond typical American breakfast fare.

not many vegetarian options and the one we ordered that we were told is a good veg option actually had pork in it which was so disappointing. beet hot chocolate was yummy and fries were yummy. Vibes were also nice but as a vegetarian did not enjoy much

The pancake looks great.. until you take a bite and feel like you're swimming in sugar syrup. Sweet tooth or not, it's overwhelmingly sweet. The black coffee is not great either. On the bright side, the staff are nice and the vibe is great. wish the food matched the energy.

I love it here, I go every couple of weeks. The menu is huge but my favorite is the Mac and Cheese pancakes, I’ll usually get those plus try a side I haven’t had before or get a milkshake.

Had the triple play (3 pancakes of your choice for $17). Took the coconut, cinnamon, and mac & cheese. Best were the cinnamon, mac & cheese, and banana that my friend took. Cool place, friendly staff, recommend for those looking to try unique pancakes in NYC

The best reason to get up in the morning….or early afternoon on a Saturday/Sunday. I’ve never had a bad meal and the menu is so extensive that you’ll be hard pressed to repeat. A wonderful staff and great atmosphere. A New York must try!!

Food is pretty good, diner styled, a bit small to fit in, but still great food. Coffee is self service and the pancakes are my recommendation. I highly recommend it. It might take a while to get some seats because it's tightly packed. Worth it.

Amazing service. Got the Bubba, cornbread was fluffy and sweet and the shrimp was perfectly fried. The eggs were perfectly soft scrambled. The star of the service was the service though, the waitress was an absolute sweetheart and had great energy.

Located inside the Essex Market you will find Shopsins. The menu is extensive. If you love pancakes this will be your happy place. The food was delicious and the service was excellent.

We had an absolutely awesome time at Shopsin’s this morning for breakfast. We had the chocolate chip pancake balls, the banana bread pudding French toast, and the mac and cheese chorizo pancake - everything was delicious. Definitely try the mac and cheese pancake if you go, and try out their homemade hot sauce with it. Also the staff was unbelievably kind and generous. They went out of their way to make sure we were having a good time. Thanks everyone at Shopsin’s! It’s a new go-to for us when we’re in the city!

I will say it again if it's this popular it cannot be that good. Go here with someone who has never had Ukrainian food before and they will love it, very good intro to Ukrainian food for newbie. the meats should have had more flavor. Sauerkraut was lacking fermentation taste. I enjoyed the borscht and the mushroom sauce.

Veselka had a nice vibe with a lot of energy. It was busy but not stressful. The pierogi were the highlight, soft and full of flavor. The borscht was also very good, fresh and comforting. The schnitzel was fine, and the potato pancake was really good, crispy outside and soft inside. I didn’t care much for the beef stroganoff, it felt too heavy and not very flavorful. The service was a bit slow but the staff were friendly. Overall, it’s a lively spot with good food and a few dishes worth coming back for.

I loved and still love Veselka after all of the years. The borscht always hits. I wish they used better Ukrainian bread and not American bread. The dumplings are always yummy and tender. Latkes or potato pancakes are so fluffy - one of the best ones I have ever had even in comparison with my grandmas and that says a lot. Today I tried beef Stroganoff for the first time and I was disappointed but wasn't fully satisfied. I like everything except the meat because of how not tender it was. Medovyk is always to die for!!!

Normally I will get something more authentic, and it's always really, really good. Today I wanted to get the burger, which I was very skeptical of, but it was fantastic. The meat was cooked perfectly, the bun was very soft, abs the Ukrainian dressing added a very unique flavor. Fantastic.

Great place for some authentic Ukrainian food! They had a spicy chicken entree and the waiter warned me 3 times that it trusty is incredibly spicy and boy was she right! I do wish that the blueberry vareniki weren’t seasonal they are absolutely amazing. But great place for some Ukrainian cuisine.

This is a happy eatery with authentic cuisine served in a classy way. There is limited space inside, so lunches are packed. Plenty of seating outside available. Breakfasts are fabulous.

A yearly treat that is worth the wait every single time. I would hands down marry whoever makes the borscht and blintzes here—no questions asked—just to secure lifelong access to how truly delicious they are. Others in my group rave about the pierogies, stuffed cabbage, and eggs Benedict, and not one dish has ever disappointed. The interior feels like a Ukrainian work of art, and the staff are always friendly, welcoming, and wonderfully attentive. This place is a true gem and an absolute must-visit.

If you’re looking for something a bit different in the West Village. It’s one of a few locations globally which makes it feel extra special. We came for brunch and were glad we arrived early—it gets busy quickly (long wait line). The cappuccino was great, and the pastries were perfect. The breakfast offerings are on the lighter side, but everything was fresh and simple. Seating is a bit tight, but the overall atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Definitely recommend.

Great food and service! Do not expect American oversized portions. The servings are typical of what you would get in France. Freshly squeezed orange juice with lotsa pulp. The Belgian Waffle didn't need any syrup at all. The fruits and toppings added enough flavor. The tap (still) water tastes very decent. Couldn't smell or taste any chlorine. Definitely will go back!

We came here for breakfast! We ordered the Belgian Waffle, Waffle Sandwich, Cappuccinos, and Tartine with Prosciutto, Fig Crostini, Goat Cheese, and Honey. Everything was delicious and tasted incredibly fresh! We also wanted to try the Chocolate Mousse, but that’s for another time. That’s why we’re coming back! They have both indoor and outdoor seating which a very small, cute patio. The service was excellent! Highly recommend it!

Walked in. Line looked really long (>10 groups ahead), but we were still seated in ~20 mins. The avocado toast, eggs and salmon were all excellent. I thought the orange juice was just okay. Our table was a bit cramped / close to the group beside us (they really cram as many people as possible into their space). Overall happy and would like to come back.

Buvette is more than just a restaurant; it’s a delightful escape that effortlessly transports you to a quiet corner of Paris. Nestled on the beautiful, tree-lined Grove Street, Chef captures the essence of le bon vivant—the pleasure of good food, drink, and simple enjoyment—at any hour of the day. The ambiance is simply unmatched. The space is small, intimate, and meticulously curated, filled with antique keepsakes, marble accents, and a general air of timeless European charm. While the seating is cozy and close-knit (part of its signature appeal), the atmosphere is warm, tranquil during off-peak hours, and wonderfully bustling during prime brunch and dinner times. Whether you snag a tiny table, squeeze into a seat at the bar, or enjoy the charming outdoor patio, the setting is instantly captivating. The food, committed to simplicity and high-quality ingredients, consistently receives rave reviews. For breakfast and brunch, the signature dishes are a must-try. The Waffle Sandwich, made with a light-as-air buttermilk waffle, smoked bacon, gruyère, and a drizzle of maple syrup, is legendary for its sweet and savory perfection. Other standouts include the various Croques (Monsieur, Madame, or Forestier with mushrooms) and the perfectly moist steamed eggs, often served with prosciutto or chèvre. For dinner and late-night snacks, the small plates shine, with classics like the decadent Aligot (a must-have cheesy, mashed potato fondue), excellent house-made pâtés, and the flavorful Coq Au Vin served in a small Staub pot. Don't leave without trying one of their simple, classic desserts like the fabulous Tarte Tatin or the perfect Chocolate Mousse. From the meticulously crafted cocktails to the thoughtfully selected French wines, Buvette truly is a beloved mainstay for savoring high-quality food and drink made with care. It's an excellent choice for a romantic date, an intimate catch-up with friends, or just finding a quiet moment of pure, culinary enjoyment.

I arrived early (09:30 AM) to avoid the queue and I am glad I did! The place has a very nice atmosphere and the service was great. I had the egg and prosciutto toast and it was delicious. The coffee was also tasty. Worth the visit if you don't mind queueing.

We had a lovely Saturday brunch at Buvette, a charming little French spot. It was busy around 11 AM, and we waited about 40 minutes, but it was worth it! The helpful staff managing the line checked in often with updates, and the servers were all very attentive. Just a heads up, your whole party needs to be physically present before you can be seated. The space is a bit tight, but the food made up for it. We had cappuccinos one with oat milk and one with regular milk, ginger tea (which I really enjoyed), freshly squeezed OJ so good, chevre the steamed eggs that were so fluffy and light, pain perdu that wasn't too sweet, croque madame, waffle sandwich, and almond croissants. Everything was delicious! FYI-No reservations, walk-in only.

Amazing spot for when you need more than a legit NY bagel. And the lox bagel is worth the rave. Food, service, and ambiance are all top notch. And if that wasn't enough, you can have a delicious ice-cream for breakfast. We were able to walk right up but it seems we beat a massive rush.

Really enjoyed our visit. Came sharp for breakfast. Enjoyed the Varnishkas (comfort food served with comfort food) and a bagel with lox. The coffee was nice and kept coming. Service was really friendly. I loved the look and the feel of the place, everybody in white uniforms and such. Lovely interior. Great option.

This was truly a very cool place to stop at. The food is fantastic. I would highly recommend trying some of the seafood. The bagels were good but some of the unique appetizers that they have they have very quality ingredients and staff. Not to mention the coffee candies were great.

Ok COOK Rus & his highly highly skilled daughters. Wow. 10 stars. Don’t leave the continent of North America without trying the Kreplach. I’d sacrifice running water for a week to eat that again. The latkes are very good. The bagel & pastrami cured smoked salmon slapped. The coffee is really good coffee. But I repeat. The Kreplach. Get your hands on that asap pls. It has no business being that good. Their gluten free bagel is the best I’ve ever had. We got there 9:40am on a Saturday and waited around 35 minutes for a table (waitlist via text). Very reasonable. The service was top tier. Sorry to our server for my friend accidentally flexing her income. She didn’t understand your comment about the floor lol.

Best bagel with and bagel with white fish I ever had. Definitely go back again. We also got a cream soda, Concord grape and blueberry soda, a must try. Every staff is very friendly with great smiles.

THE BEST. I ordered a LOX bagel sandwich and a chowder. The smoked salmon was nothing like I’ve ever eaten before. It was almost like sashimi, and it was so so good. But really, the chowder. wow. Probably one of the best chowders I’ve ever tasted. So much flavor from the fishes… We only ordered one and they kindly offered to split the bowl, which we truly appreciated, but i’m definitely eating the whole thing by myself next time! Their original blend coffee was also spectacular.

Loved breakfast here, so many good choices. I had to try the bread pudding, and very thankful I did. One if the few places where I would order drip coffee again, excellent. Pre ordered the cookbook!

Come for the chicken stay for the pie. I got the chicken and waffles, it's bone in chicken very crispy taste great. The waffles are soft and come with some cinnamon butter and blueberries. I had never had c&w with blueberries but it adds such a nice flavor. I also got a slice of apple pie warmed up with ice cream. The apple pie is fresh and full of flavor, just the right amount of food not huge plates or huge slice. The rest of their pastries and menu look just as good, will be back and trying the biscuits.

Pies’n’Thighs is one of the best spots in Williamsburg for southern comfort food, handmade pastries and local craft beer. Their cinnamon roll is incredible - chefs kiss! It’s soft, buttery, you can tell they’re fresh from that morning - think Cinnabon but better. I’m always down for a sweet treat and everything here hits - the pies, the pecan crunch donut, ugh everything is just so good when it’s made from scratch and so much care. The Hippie Banjo for brunch (hello Sprouts!) and the Fried Catfish Plate are my other favorites. I love their sandwich bread (pro tip I think you can buy it) and the tarter sauce for that catfish is perfection. They also carry really good local craft beer from other half, evil twin and Grimm, which makes dinner and weekend brunch even better. The staff is always friendly and knowledgable- they know exactly what to recommend- the GM even told Me about their new ice cream shop, Heap’s Ice Cream ,where they use Pies’n’Thighs pastries for ice cream sandwiches (like what, def going next time) Last week I tried the chicken tenders (I think they’re only in house) and they were juicy, crunchy and full of flavor. The sauces were great too but I’m a Ranch girl through and through. The food and drinks give an elevated vibe at night, but it’s also the perfect cozy bakery to stop for coffee and pastries on the way to work. I highly recommend Pies’n’Thighs - good food, good vibes and the nicest staff.

Omg!! I was from out of town and saw this restaurant on yelp. It was within walking distance of my hotel. It’s cute. And everyone is super nice. I recommend the chick and waffles so tasty. And it was a lot of food. I want to come back and try the catfish and sour cherry and peach pie.

Been many times though last time was years ago. Ordered online for pickup. At first I was impressed that the price hasn't changed all that much. But then I opened up the order. What a joke. While it was tasty, id be shocked if the chicken part was more than 2oz. To give you a sense of the size, its a very thin cutlet a little bigger than your standard ketchup packet. 5 stars is for the memory of what was, and 3 stars for what is. So 4 is in the middle.

My Fried Pickles were Everything!!! Ordered Catfish with grits & eggs (scramble soft) this was absolute perfection with some hot mint tea 2nd order was The Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes & a side of Mac-n-Cheese which was amazing also The highlight was the biscuit with the honey butter(so delightful) Left with 3 slices of perfect pie (apple, pumpkin, & bourbon pecan) Will be back soon!

The vegetarian biscuit sandwich was SENSATIONAL. So buttery and delicious. The lemonade was a bit too sour for me, but the food was amazing

Everytime I visit, I always have a great time & meal! Today was exceptionally good!

Came here for restaurant week. The kale salad was delicious, crispy and fresh and not too oily or salty. The trout salad was good too though it was a bit on the saltier side since it was cured. The entrees were ok. I ordered lasagna, it was a bit salty. I didn't taste any eggplants, mostly just squash. The fried chicken was good but nothing out of the ordinary. The Belgium waffle wasn't crispy. The deserts were good though. The pecan Sunday was delicious, although a bit too sweet. The cheesecake was delicious.

The brunch is finger-licking good. The must try is the French toast, it’s a whole experience. But the short-rib hash also gives it a run for its money. Even the salad was really yummy and fresh. It can get a little busy though, so be ready for that.

Buttermilk channel is one of my favorite spots in Brooklyn! Their pancakes are fantastic (and so is the jam). We also ordered the short rib hash, warm lamb salad and a side of bacon. All of which were delicious. The breakfast cocktails weren’t my favorite but I would absolutely visit again for the food and vibe!

Did brunch here on a busy Sunday. Was nice to see your place that is well run and able to serve a full house. Reservations look to be a really good idea on busy time is like Sunday brunch. The service was professional and friendly. Chicken sandwich tasted as good as it looked. Poached eggs were perfection. Pancakes were divine, the maple syrup was a sweet delight. And the fries, the fries! Don't forget to order some. Look forward to Dining there again when we visit family in Brooklyn.

Stepping into Buttermilk Channel Restaurant felt like stumbling upon a breakfast paradise, and their Chicken & Waffles and Pancakes sealed the deal for an authentic morning feast. The Chicken & Waffles were a revelation, with the chicken boasting a perfect crunch and the waffles a comforting canvas for the flavors. As for the pancakes, they were a testament to homey goodness, fluffy and delicious. The care they put into sourcing quality ingredients was evident in every bite. The cozy vibe of the place, combined with the friendly staff, made it a genuine, comforting experience. Buttermilk Channel Restaurant is where breakfast dreams come true, a spot I'd gladly revisit for a taste of their hearty, real-deal dishes.

Lovely place for brunch! The interior was very nicely decorated and there were great options to choose from for food. I got the chicken and waffles which was very tasty. It was light and crispy on the outside while juicy on the inside, would love to come back and try more dishes.

The place is very cute and the service is great. The walnut sticky bun was great, exactly what one would expect. The short rib hash had some interesting middle eastern spices, which gave it a unique flavor. The fried chicken sandwich is enormous, the chicken is so juicy and the coleslaw and pickles are nice to cut through the fattiness. The French toast was my favorite. It's very thick but soaked all the way through, the sauce is amazing, and the whipped cream is very good and just the right density/heaviness.

The food was delicious! Our server was Jeremy!!!!! Love him something fierce! The way this man was so attentive to our table and the tables around us while maintaining professionalism and manners was exemplary. The food came back and the drinks were pretty good (wish they were a bit stronger but the Miss Jackson was delicious!). Definitely coming back.

Went here before over 5 years ago and didn’t like it but tried it again with my siblings hoping they improved and was very very disappointed. The atmosphere and music were very good, however the service was very slow (although the waitress was nice) and the food was nasty. This is NOT what I would consider southern/soul food. We ordered 2 drinks which were pretty good but were dissatisfied with our entrees. My sister and I got the steak frites and my brother got the ribs. Everything was very bland. My sister got a side of Mac and cheese and it had this very grainy texture. The menu said truffle fries were served with the steak but it was just regular plain fries I had to season myself. We were expecting hanger or ribeye cut steak for our entree (steak frites is typically a tender cut) but we weren’t even sure what cut we got and asked the waitress who insisted it was hanger but then went to ask the cook who told her it was something we were all unsure of. Bottom line when it came to the food, free dessert included (peaches Melba which was literally peaches on slices of bread) absolutely disappointing. Definitely would not call this a southern or soul food restaurant. Total spent before gratuity for 3 entrees 2 drinks and a soda was $130 which wasn’t the worst if we would’ve enjoyed it.

The only item I ate here was the bread pudding. It was absolutely 💯 👌. I cannot describe how many people get this recipe wrong. Peaches has perfected it as well as add a nut of spice (rum). If this dish is any indication of how good the food is here, I'm on my way back!

I’ve had several wonderful experiences at Peaches in Brooklyn. I used to come here on my lunch breaks and after work for dinner. I love trying different dishes from their delicious menu. The salmon is my favorite, and the chicken thighs are also delicious. The food is always hot, fresh, and flavorful, and the customer service is consistently excellent and welcoming. I also enjoyed when outside seating is open- spring, summer, and fall when the weather is nice. I was first introduced to Peaches by my coworkers, and I can clearly see why it has such a great reputation.

2 Peaches locations done, both with great results. The breakdown: This location is slightly larger than Peaches Hothouse a couple blocks from this area and twice as busy so there was a wait to order my food to get the attention of any of the waiters, but I have to say, the waitress that served me was very courteous when it was my time to order. The place does have a bit of Southern aesthetic to it being dimly lit but you wouldn't entirely notice on the day I went because it was very sunny outside. Fortunately the food preparation didn't take as long as it did for any of the servers to notice me and I my order was brought to me in the most immaculate presentation possible, it was picturesque I didn't want to ruin it but I was hungry. I ordered the Jumbo Shrimp Po'Boy with Fries. I thought it was a choice between fries or the side salad which happened to be coleslaw but I got both anyway. I don't care for coleslaw period so I didn't touch it. I started off on the fries, nice and tender to the touch with the right type of crisp, just like the other Peaches in Bed-Stuy. The Po'Boy was MASSIVE. They gave me a healthy serving of shrimp that I thought I'd have to dislocated my jaw to even bite into it but I managed, evenly so to the point that I was shocked I didn't make a mess of myself. That Po'Boy legit tasted like having it in New Orleans, just absolutely divine. Also had some Strawberry Lemonade with it which might have been a mocktail because it did have the aftertaste of one. The taste of itself as a whole was pretty good. The Tiger Woods I had from the other Peaches spot is slightly better but this Peaches didn't have my favorite half and half on the menu so it would have to do. Of course the whole meal came up to $29 whilst giving a $4 tip as a job well done on service. All that's left is Peaches Prime and Grand. I'm already stoked to get there, after I can feel like I can afford it.

This place is one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. Their food is very consistent and delicious. I dined and I waiter was amazing., everybody food was 10 out of 10.

Really enjoyed the music and the food here. My wife and I were pleased with our drinks as well. Love the look of this place. From the old brownstone remnants to the old timey style bar. I will be back and I will recommend this place for my friends and family in the area!

Very pleasant experience! The service was excellent, and the food was even better. We loved pretty much everything we ordered, and a huge thank you to the staff — I had accidentally left my sunglasses behind, and they kindly returned them to me the next day. 🤗

Cute and cozy, Great service, great food. Sardines and slow roasted lamb ribs are my favorite. If you like dessert, Do not miss the Banana Foster Profiterole!

Came for lunch on a date! It’s a cute and elevated spot. Get the Trout Po’ Boy- you won’t regret it. The dressing on it is so delicious, I’d love to know how they make it. The French bread is thick so if you’re looking for a lighter meal, then maybe skip. They have a very nice outdoor patio in the back! Very nice to sit under the sky / in the sunlight, but there are only 2 tables in the direct sun. The other “backyard” seating is actually under a big awning.

Joined for dinner on a Thursday night. The restaurant has a modern-bistro sensibility with subtle rustic touches and a nice balance between elegance and comfortable warmth. We sat in the back section of the main dining area with the leather banquettes. Tables did feel too cramped, and the it wasn’t a busy night but it would be difficult to get out from your seat on a busy one. Service was okay, not the most friendly and warm. Food was very good. The escargot was delicious, the piece of sausage added to each shell elevates the flavor. The grilled whole dorade was very fresh, meat was tender with a subtle sweetness. But the charred broccolini was very bitter for some reason. House steak was okay. Would love to try the lamb next time. Overall a cute bistro with great food.

I tried to get a healthy dish so ordered the socca with multi grains and fried egg, but unfortunately it wasn’t that great. Also someone else in my party got a French toast but it was basically a large shared dessert instead of a brunch entree and he could really eat it, would not recommend getting that as an entree. The bread was hard and crusty! The service and ambiance were nice though.

Was expecting more of the reviewed options like the steak frites to be on the brunch menu but seems like they do a different set. Crab Louie was pretty good though. Had service at the bar and was attentively taken care of although I was also inadvertently able to hear all the team gossip. May come back to try their dinner menu.

Update: The first time that we dined here, we had such a wonderful time and were excited to come back. Unfortunately, our most recent experience wasn’t as great. The service is friendly, but absolutely not attentive. No one ever checked in on our table, they do not pour wine or water even when you purchase bottles. I had to wait several minutes to flag someone down to have them fix my meal. They don’t observe dietary restrictions and food, allergies. they never asked us if we wanted anything else before they brought the check. They rushed the appetizers. It was a stereotypical young , uninspired BK staff. We will not return. 2023: We had a beautiful dining experience in the garden. The 2019 Saint Emilion was perfect. We split a salad, and enjoyed the duck and the papardelle with poached egg. Can’t wait for our next date night at French Louie.

We had brunch here with a short wait. The potato side dish was delicious, and the grilled cheese was also spot on. I really loved the vibe created by the large windows—such a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Definitely a great spot for a relaxed meal. Great neighborhood as well.

My friend and I went here the other day for some brunch. The waitress was nice but not super attentive. The food was definitely not worth the cost— it was overpriced for one slice of toast per person. I got the eggs and hash and it was not worth $17. There was too much random presentation and not enough actually filling food. My friend says it’s the same for her food— she got an avocado toast with an egg. I also ordered a frozen coffee which was tasty. The vibes of the place are nice.

Honestly such a joyful start to our day. If I could give the staff 10 stars I would. Everyone was the perfect combination of friendly and helpful, while providing space for a cozy brunch. McKenna was a delightful greeting and Veronica was a fantastic server throughout. The food was superb. Everything was very high quality and I will think about those hash browns for a long time. Congrats to the team here!

Café Colette is such a gem. They have a great oyster special during the week that’s definitely worth it, and the staff was super friendly and welcoming. The vibe is cozy and stylish, which makes it a perfect spot to unwind after work or catch up with friends.

We have been to Colette several times, usually during the week early when they open. We went recently on a Saturday and the food was just as delicious with great service. We ate outdoors and enjoyed the nice weather in Williamsburg. The hash and eggs are never a disappointment. We also like the fact that we are able to get the eggs poached and switch out the hash brown patty triangles for the fries. Either one is delicious! The coffee and Irish coffee is amazing as well. Other standouts are the breakfast tacos, burger and French toast. Our server also suggested a slice of chocolate cake with my coffee which was fantastic. Cannot wait to go again!

Quaint little place to have a beer and burger. Our bartender was top notch and we really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. We had the burger and fries which were pretty good tasting. I would recommend giving this place a try. It has a simple menu and outdoor seating.

Went there to take a small dinner with my boyfriend on Saturday evening, it was pretty hot so we sat outside. It was a nice little corner, the overall atmosphere and service were great, food was little basic but delicious. The guy serving us was very attentive and we left with a good impression about the place in general. Will come back one day during the breakfast time to try :)

This was such a great move. I got the masa pancakes and they were delicious. my girlfriend got two eggs (scrambled) and they were also top notch. bonus was they give you my favorite hot sauce! (valentina) i was delighted they played some of my favorite classic rock songs like crazy train, creep, and bohemian rhapsody. i mean cmon how awesome is that. they also gave us free little cups of orange juice. this place initially felt over priced but i guess thats just the times. plus its new york so i mean isnt everything expensive here? the only negative thing is the syrup bottles. as you can see from my attached video they drip down the side of the bottle when you open it so you have to watch out because its a little unpredictable. but isnt life unpredictable sometimes? i know mine is. the waiter was incredibly nice. amazing service.

Growing up in this area I’ve spent years going to this diner, my family and I spent so much time here. Going into my 20s I also learn it’s a great spot to end your Friday/Saturday night, seeing as they’re 24 hours, I’d also recommend it for a Sunday recovery after a long weekend. They’ve made so many changes over the years and there recent renovations bring a new aesthetic but still staying true to their original vibe. It’s a neighborhood go to and I genuinely love it here.

I'm giving this spot 3.5 stars. It was a mixed bag with some true "hits" and a few "misses." Our service got off to a rough start. After being seated, we waited a solid ten minutes before a waiter finally came over. When we did try to order, there was some confusion—our waiter repeatedly asked about an appetizer despite us saying no. However, once we finally ordered our main courses, the food came out quickly. The Hits (Must-Try Dishes) Guajillo Braised Short Rib Hash: Fantastic! This was the star of the meal. It had a wonderful depth of flavor—savory with a hint of smokiness and a hint of heat. The potatoes were cooked perfectly (even the skin-on ones, which I usually avoid), and the short rib itself was perfectly tender. My only minor complaint is that there was too much gristle on the short rib. The eggs on top were over-hard (I wish they'd asked my preference), but still good. I would absolutely order this again. The Veggie Burger: A complete hit with everyone at the table. It was moist, flavorful, and had a great, homemade texture. The fries served with it were on point. Definitely a must-get. The Misses Chicken Fried Steak: This dish was interesting—it had a nice crust, flavorful gravy, good mashed potatoes, and green beans. Unfortunately, the steak itself was really dry and tough. It completely slid out of the crust and was very difficult to cut. The Patty Melt: This was just decent. Final Thoughts on Service and Atmosphere The service was not great overall. We waited a long time after the meal and eventually had to flag down our waiter just to get the bill. On the bright side, the restaurant was clean, had a kind of old-school vibe, and the prices were not bad for NY. I would go again just for the Short Rib Hash

They hit me on the spot. They serve good food as a diner, the server was kind and friendly, prices were reasonable. Chill vibes for families, couples and solo visitors. 🦐Shrimp & grits might not be best of the best but good enough with big and fresh shrimps on it. Taste was flavorful but not too intense. 🍫🍪🍦ice cream sandwich was fire! Rich chocolate with crunchy hazelnut around. Highly recommende!!

Every time I come to Kellogg’s, I’m hoping it’ll redeem itself and I keep leaving feeling “eh.” The decor is beautiful and I’m glad there’s a place open late night. The times I’ve come, the food has been mostly okay, but the service tonight was subpar. I dined solo tonight around midnight on a weekday, and while the restaurant was pretty empty, it took a long time for the server to come back and check on me. I had to do the “turn around and look for the server” move a few times, and while someone who I assume is a floor manager came and cleared my table, it still took some time for my main server to come. Food was fine, but I want more from this place.

Average food in a well designed place. If you’re from the Tristate area, you’ll be disappointed. If you’re not, you’ll think this diner is “amazing.” We got the burger + fries, cortado, and the ricotta pancakes with blueberries. Everything is just fine, mediocre, middle of the road etc. the burger patty was missing salt (!) but the bun was good, fries were overbaked, cortado was good, but the ricotta pancakes were a huge letdown despite the reviews. For the price point and location, you’d expect more, but it’s just fine. You’ll probably come back. It’s just ok.

First time since the new ownership and can attest that the rumors are true: this spot is good! We got the Cubano sandwich, which came with a lentil/chorizo soup (the soup of the day), and the veggie enchilada. Both were great. This cubano may actually be one of my favorite sandwiches in the city. I’ve lived here for 8 years and lived in Williamsburg for 3 of those so have had lots of good eats. Kudos to the chefs and the whole team!

bit hesitant to try given it was a local chain however, it lives up to the name. had the pork roll which is a bacon, egg and cheese and the bacon is essentially crispy and the roll was basic brioche bun but overall had good structure and doesn't disappoint for 12 bucks. it was okay but The vibes are nice in there and sandwiches. good

Consistently good sandwich spot, great for breakfast or lunch. I have the turkey delight every time. It’s turkey and Swiss with coleslaw and comeback sauce. I love a turkey sandwich and this one is delicious. Good quality turkey and love the addition of coleslaw instead of just dry greens because it’s very flavorful and saucey. It is on the more indulgent side but very good. I add mustard for some tangy relief from the rich sauce. The only downfall is the price. For two sandwiches we paid over $40. It’s conveniently located in a great neighborhood.

$40 after 2 sandwiches, a soda and a drink. Use to love this place but it’s no longer affordable. Back to the bodega for a Sammy it is!

I’ve been a regular for the past 5 years, but unfortunately my latest sandwich will be my last. The staff are friendly and the bread is fresh. But there has been a notable decrease in the amount of meat and ingredients included in each of the several sandwiches I order. Sometimes it is passable, but multiple recent orders have been bare.

The Droopy sandwich was very good but I knew when I picked up the bag and it weighed 2 ounces, I was gonna be disappointed. For $18, I was expecting a hefty sandwich that I could eat in two sittings but this thing was gone in 5 minutes. The sandwiches are very good with great ingredients but extremely light for a hero.

We went in the middle of the week at lunch time, so it was no busy at all we were very lucky(every time we walk by it is very busy). First time being here and I was very impressed with all the options of bake goods, products and the extensive menu. I order the cubano sandwich and it was good all the flavors where there but for me it was a little salty and it had to much sauce, so it is very messy to eat be aware of that. I think I’ll go back to try other things from the menu. They have outdoor and indoor seating (big space). All the staff was very friendly!

People rave about CSG, but after eating it consistently for 5 years, I’d say it’s really gone downhill. Their menu has gotten smaller, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing- if they were doing the sandwiches they had really well. But everything is pretty basic, with an exorbitant amount of mayo, or whatever sauce is on the sandwich. You have to eat the sandwich immediately or the bread disintegrates in the moisture. After my previous sandwich Idt I’ll be ordering from CSG again.

I went to Three Decker Diner yesterday with my older sister. We both enjoyed our lunches (look at the images)! My only criticism is the customer service. Specifically with a male waiter with glasses. He wasn’t the friendliness and urged us to sit near the bathroom. Keep in mind, there were multiple tables opened. As for our second waiter, she was more attentive.

Had an amazing time at Three Deck Dinner. The vibe is super chill, great spot to relax and enjoy some seriously good food. The chicken sandwich was unreal and the mozzarella sticks? Best I’ve ever had. Everything was packed with flavour and cooked perfectly. Definitely coming back for more!

I love an old fashioned diner and being able to get something savory with a side of sweet is one of my favorite things. We were able to get seated right away on a Saturday which was so nice (although after us a few people had to wait) but the service was good and the food was standard with great prices. If I’m in the area again I would definitely go back!

Really enjoyed the food at this cute diner!!! You can tell there's care in it. Quality, very clean tasting diner food. Love what we ordered!!! Great customer service!!!

angelina took such good care of our group! the food was standard diner food. nothing outstanding but super satisfying and exactly what we needed in the moment. lots to choose from and the pancakes taste like box cake which i loved

Huge menu and all delicious! Staff are friendly and attentive

This diner got new management about a year ago and totally changed it for the better! The new menu is super delicious diner food + some. They also have $10 cocktails. Service is good! Portions are huge. Wonderful for a casual meal. Curly fries are amazing here! Most entrees are under $15

Literally writing this before we’ve even left. DO NOT MISS WHEN A RES POPS UP HERE. Unbelievably delightful, start to finish. No decision fatigue, you get to watch things being made (sit at the counter 😌), great sake, and service attentive and kind but nowhere near overdone. If you’re hungry, do the large platter. And if they have a sashimi app, DO IT. You won’t regret it. Some of the freshest, cleanest fish I’ve had in a while. Such a beautiful experience in the chaos of a rapidly changing Williamsburg. 12/10!!!

Food 4/5 Service 3.5/5 Ambiance 3.5/5 Okonomi serves a traditional Japanese breakfast for $30-$38. The experience is intimate, with only 12 seats, so reservations are a must. Don't expect to leave completely full, as the portions are on the smaller side, but it's definitely a unique experience. I enjoyed the miso salmon, but found the pollock a bit dry and underseasoned. It seems the fish quality can vary, as my friend's pollock was juicier.

Amazing hidden gem. As someone grew up in Busan, KR, which is pretty close to Japan and is having lots of high quality Japanese restaurants. I can say this place serves a very authentic Japanese comfort food. Never expected, but surprisingly satisfied after having a long day.

This cosy restaurant is a gem. The food was simple, fresh and prepared beautifully. Every details was well thought out - from the tea leaves to the different wasabi for the appetizer (sashimi that melted in our mouth), to the exquisite black cod. We could have asked for their playlist as well, which added to the cosy vibes, great service. My friend described it as being a guest in someone’s house and being pampered with delicious food. The chef threw in a slice of cantaloupe and a zesty, refreshing iced ‘thingy’ at the end, on the house. Though the place was small, it wasn’t loud or too quiet. Just really comfortable … we’ll be back.

Delicious food in a serene atmosphere, particularly delicious on a rainy day! I really loved the scallops with the house soy sauce, and the presentation of each dish was stunning. I could eat a million of their little tamogayakis!

Both the breakfast sets and the ramen are delicious and also authentic. Our fave Japanese spot in the neighborhood. Vibes also 👌👌👌 you need a reservation here typically

An amazing Japanese breakfast experience—every dish was prepared with such care and dedication. I loved the atmosphere and the depth of flavor in every bite.

We tried Thai Diner and it was fine, 3/5. They have a lot of gluten free options which I really appreciated as someone with celiac, and our server was helpful in explaining what was and wasn’t safe. We ordered the lobster omelette with red curry and lobster. The idea was better than the execution and it was very spicy. The papaya salad was fresh and tasty. The beef short rib pad see ew had good flavor but wasn’t saucy enough. All of it was gluten free which was incredible. The biggest downside is that our entire order got lost and we waited over 45 minutes before receiving any food. I expected at least a discount or something to make up for it, but we were charged full price. Overall the experience was just okay and not something I would go out of my way for again.

We came here for breakfast. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience. I liked the welcoming staff, very nice. The food was okay. I very much enjoyed my crispy rice eggs, it was great. My french toast was underwhelming. The taste didn’t suit me. But the egg sandwich was enjoyable. The original sauces for everything are unique and tasty.

I had high expectations for the disco fries. They were good but I don’t know if it was my favorite combo. I got the dessert the coconut sundae and it was incredible! The staff was really accommodating and nice and the inside was really fun. They do have a bit of a. Wait for food but overall a great experience. I’d want to come back and try more food.

Thai Diner delivers a lively and transportive experience with its woodsy & Thai-inspired decor throughout, though note that the seating can be a tight. From the brunch menu, the Kai Soi stood out - a baked egg dish with Khao Soi curry, crispy noodles, and roti on the side, bursting with flavor and incredibly satisfying. A flavorful and memorable Thai spot in LES.

We love it , it’s unusual Thai food for us since their menu full of twisted fusion which is a surprise combinations which taste really good for our opinion. Their funky design also give good Thai vibes , especially the song in the bathroom 😄👍🏻

We came here for brunch. Just be aware. They don't take reservations, just walk ins, so be prepared to wait. This was actually our second try if you want to get seated right away, come early. Otherwise, the wait can be up to 2 hours. This time we got lucky and didn't wait too long. The restaurant is cute, but it's small and seating is limited. We tried quite a few dishes such as Uncle Boon's Crab Fried Rice, coconut chicken thailandese, thai tea babka french toast, disco fries, Pha Thai with Crispy Fried Chicken, Crispy Eggplant Maytinee, Rooibos and Chrysanthemum Tea. Our favorites were the roti, crispy fried chicken, eggplant, and the fried rice. The disco fries were also really good. The Phat Thai was decent, but had a too much peanut for my taste. The babka French toast was a miss for me it was too dry and the spread had an odd flavor. Overall, it's a cool spot to check out if you're into Thai food and don't mind a wait. There are definitely other great Thai places around too, especially if you're short on time. Staff were nice but understandable can be very busy.

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had where everything was delicious that we ordered. The spicier things were not just spicy, but flavorful which is refreshing. I’d really like to go back and try the brunch. Best to go with a group so you can try as many things as possible.

I visited on a Sunday night and it was empty! You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. You clean your table/tray when you are finished. I got the Nasi Lemak and it was really tasty, but the portions are pretty small. Prices are fine for the size of the dish, but I wouldn’t go here if I was super hungry. I really enjoyed the flavors in this dish- Malaysian food is new to me and this was a good introduction to the cuisine.

The nice thing about this spot is they offer up a lot of traditional Malaysian dishes and the menu has a pretty decent selection. Food wise, it’s decent. There aren’t any frills but will say their toast was good. We couldn’t get the Hainese chicken since they sold out. Drinks aren’t bad either. It’s quite an informal spot, you order up front and grab seating after. They do bring the food to you but it’s not your typical waiter service. Maybe because of the more casual nature and the crowd, the place doesn’t feel very cleanly. It can get kind of loud as well if there are larger groups. Some people do take up seating after they’re finished with their meal, so if you’re looking for a sit down spot, it’s just easier with a smaller group.

We were excited to visit because my Malaysian boyfriend wanted a bit of home. It was definitely bumping when we went for lunch on the weekend, but were lucky enough to grab a table. We were most excited for the kaya toast, and it was pretty good! The food was alright and a bit underwhelming, but the vibes were great.

I'm picky about my Malaysia food, having grown up with the good stuff. Kopitiam always seemed to garner mixed reviews at best, so I kind of avoided the spot until recently, when a friend wanted to meet her new long distance beau and he picked Kopitiam to be judged, juried and (potentially) executed. I wish I could say we had a merry time, but it was a weird night. Mostly because HE was weird.....and brand new to Malaysian food, which made it just so much more painful for me (I hate playing tour guide/translator when I haven't offered to do so). But I digress. You didn't come here for my tea. You came for tea on Kopitiam. The good: - Kaya Butter Toast: Properly thick and large, with tons of delicious kaya - Nasi Lemak: Of course I've had better in the motherland, but for NYC, this hit all the right notes of coconut rice, plenty of ikan bilis, and tasty a sambal - Pan Mee with soup: Could've used more noodles, but the friedn anchovies were popping, and the broth was umami-tastic - Sambal Sauteed Water Spinach: What can I say, Asians just do veggies better. Get this when you need to see some green on your plate - Ondeh Ondeh: Hard to find and definitely worth the effort, so make sure to come early to hedge your bets. Then enjoy that sweet, sweet mochi-like texture with glorious palm sugar filling - Honeycomb Cake: Moist and decadent without being too sweet - Penang-Style Hand-Rolled Muah Chee: Made to order, but worth it if you've never experienced the glory of warm ground peanuts and sesame seeds served in chewy pieces. Mmmm, my childhood.... The Okay: - Otak Otak: Spicy grilled fish "quiche", but not quite aromatic enough and a bit dry - Malaysian Style Half Boiled Eggs: I like mine saltier - Oh Chien: Not bad, but needed way more oyster - Pandan Chicken: No pandan flavor + oversalted chicken + dry meat = I regret choosing this as a last-minute add-on All in all, I liked Kopitiam more than I expected. Can't wait to go back without having to entertain a insular white guy who can't use chopsticks just because he's boinking my friend.

This reminds me of a fast food restaurant. Order at the register. You had to order off a Q code, they didn’t have any menus. Seats are first come first serve so if you see a seat throw your jacket, bag or umbrella there to hold the seat. After you order the give you a number and someone brings you the foods. I found the food a little different from the Malaysian I’m use to and it left a little after taste in my mouth afterwards. You can get water if you ask them and take out containers if you have left over. And clean your space for the next person. Take your trash to the assigned area. I did 4 star instead of 3 because even though I found the food only ok, the Staff was nice but mainly because I wasn’t use to the type of restaurant it was an that’s more on me.

Small but cute cafe with a large variety of Malaysian dishes and desserts. Highly recommend the blue rice balls and the national dish. The pandan dessert has an interesting yet addicting taste (the coconut layer on top is salty!). The Milo French toast is very good but very sweet; you get a lot though. This has become my go-to cafe in the lower east side!

We're from Malaysia and wanted to try this place. Apparently the owner is from Penang, Nyoya descent. We'd a chat. Great guy. Food is okay and the pork jerky bun is good. Char key teow is not up to mark though. But at least I get to have a sip of our famous Kopi-O 😇 The place is a little mess with stock cartons stacking in the shop.

I really enjoyed how I was welcomed as I enter the diner. I also wasn't sure about the wine and was allowed to sample two kinds. Jerry is very pleasant, patient and accommodating. He made sure everything was up to par. The food is delicious! Kudos to the chef. You can order anything on the menu at anytime of the day. I will be returning to try something new.

Highlight is the outdoor seating & they’re open 24-hours! Great affordable diner food in the heart of NYC, quick walk from Prospect Park & not far from trains. Staff were attentive & the food was great. Those pancakes were HUGE, giving Big New York energy! There are booths inside and they have a pretty robust menu.

Stopped in for lunch while in town visiting family. I had a delicious Cuban sandwich with fries. And my husband loved the pulled pork. Our son and my brother enjoyed breakfast options that also looked delicious. Very happy with portion sizes and the food was great. We were happy with all the choices available on the large menu. We had prompt, polite service and it was a great time.

The absolute best diner I’ve been to in New York! I love to come here late night after a party but it’s also great in the daytime for breakfast lunch or dinner! It’s such a classic old school vibe with a great ambiance for dining indoors or on the patio. The portions are massive and it’s a great value for your money. I usually get a sandwich but last time I had this bbq chicken salad which was delicious. Such a solid spot with great service

The food is always good and the staff are very friendly and welcoming

Fantastic diner with tasty food and exceptional service! The service was just exceptional, the food was fresh and tasty. Also the pancakes with Banana and Nutella are to die for 🤤

After hanging out it was 3:30 am and we were looking for a diner that was open. So here I am... My food was delicious 😋. I had corn beef hash with scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese. White toast and a hot tea. We had a tasty turkey sausage as well.

Been to Golda many times for breakfast/lunch and finally getting around to review it after another visit today. I will say the chicken sausage egg sandwich is amazing. I’ve tried the signature one with just egg and stuff…but the chicken sausage one still is my fav. Their different latte styles and pastries are very good too!

Oleee faithful. Chicken sandwich was nice and crispy and crunchy. I wish they used a different bun or possibly toasted it? But really such a minimal issue and a must get. The match lemonade was also really good. Quality matcha

This is actually my fourth time coming to this brunch spot, and I feel so happy because they treat us the way we should be treated. I feel safe, just like in all of New York, since I’m Latino and my spouse is American. We come here to eat, and we’re respected and feel at home. The food is delicious, the service is absolutely amazing, and the coffee is divine. The coffee pitchers, the plates, that Mediterranean touch is spectacular, and I think there’s a bit of a Russian influence, but I’m not sure if I’m right. I love it. The people are very kind, the tables are great, everything is clean and delicious, and the flavors are incredible. I highly recommend it. I’ll be posting about it on my official TikTok page, where I have over 2 million followers, so you can visit this place with no strings attached. Thank you so much!

Airy and cute spot for a casual brunch. The food was decent and my drink came in what was closer to a bowl than a mug (not a bad thing)! This spot is tiny and seating is limited!

Golda became our go-to spot for breakfast and coffee when we stayed in Brooklyn for a week. Delicious!

Cute little cafe/coffee spot. While the decor inside is really nice, I do feel like they could refresh it a bit, and maybe not cram as many tables and barstools. My avocado toast with squash and chili crisp was so good. The breakfast plate was good, but the potatoes were a bit over spiced. The pancakes don’t have much visual appeal and were too sweet already pre drenched in syrup

So excellent, truly. Very dedicated to their coffee with mindful preparation, amazing ceramics from a local producer, and such a pleasant and thoughtful design. Very high attention to detail, a place for community and conversations. I didn't even try their food offerings which looked stellar, people eating next to me had effusive praise. The owner is hands on. So pleased!

Really solid burritos. They’re balanced in flavor and huge! Also the corn salad was super nice alongside everything. We didn’t have to wait long but we also got there sorta early.

We heard great things about Ursula so we gave it a try. The main downfall was the wait and it took a bit to get our food. However, the breakfast burritos were very delicious and flavorful! I got the bacon and my husband got the other meat option. We also ordered the horchata tea but it was pretty watered down, we weren’t a fan. If you’re in the area and have time definitely order a breakfast burrito!

Came a long way for the Bacon breakfast burrito. Was just average. Really there was only a tiny piece of bacon in it, and it was falling apart and open at each end. Nice people and a cool spot tho. ******Update: I knowwwwww! I loved talking to with yall and I liked the place, that’s why I was bummed the burrito wasn’t that great! 😢. Ps- I said it was good, because I was being nice. But, it really was very average if I’m being honest. To be fair, I’m from southern CA and we have some the best breakfast burritos in the world, imo. I did appreciate the spice in it. I’ll have to come back for a steak dinner!

Love the decor and the breakfast burritos were large, filling, and delicious. House hot sauce was also unique. Ordered the Carne Adovada (Red Chile Pork) Burrito

The burritos are so tasty, spicy and filling! The service is great and the patio is nice. I wish there were fans outside for the heat but it’s doable in the shade/cooler weather.

Ok this place is freaking amazing! The hype is real. The James Beard is real. The burritos are so affordable and delicious!! I had a michelada with sparkling water and omg the mix was magical! But what made it even better was the service. The manager was so welcoming and nice. The guy at the front helped me with my baby too. Love coming here. Wish I got the corn chowder

The bacon green chile breakfast burrito was great!!! Brought me back to NM. Love the cocktail drink names

Very cute little restaurant! The katsu sandwich and fried chicken sandwich were delicious. The special pastries were also good. The ham biscuit was very salty and sadly practically inedible. We have had it before and it was better, not sure what changed.

Little Egg is a bright, inviting breakfast and lunch spot with thoughtful dishes and a minimalist, cozy interior. Their crispy chicken katsu sandwich is a perfect blend of texture and flavor, and the egg dishes are always perfectly cooked. Coffee is strong and high quality, and the service is warm and efficient. A great neighborhood cafe that feels both modern and homey.

YUM! This place has been sitting on my “two try” list for years. And now I’m sure I’m gonna be there way too often. The hashbrown was seasoned all throughout. The egg sandwich - seasoned all throughout. Great crisp. The yuzu mayo was a great contrast Def go, but maybe skip prime time on Sunday.

Cute cozy spot for breakfast/lunch. The country ham biscuit was super tasty, the hash brown to me tasted more like a fried knish (still delicious, but not what I associate hash browns with). The grafton cheddar omelette has a similar texture to a French omelette. The coffee was only ok, they do however have a delicious freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. * update: had the squash curry bread which was tasty

Absolutely delightful! This brunch spot is as chic as it is tasty. Perfect for a relaxing catch-up with friends before a busy day.

The food was unique and delicious. I really liked the crayons at the table. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the area.

egg katsu sando is as good as I heard, panko-fried steamed egg with pickled shallot and yuzu kosho mayo may not look like much but it packs all the flavor I need. The price sure is steep, and there’s usually a wait on the weekend, but I think it’s worth trying it once.

Pro tip: when you walk in, be sure to take a number—they’ll call it out when it’s your turn to order. The place has a charming old-school interior that gives off classic New York vibes, which adds to the experience. They offer a variety of sandwiches, bagels, spreads, and smoked fish options. I ordered a salmon bagel with a few extras and ended up paying around $20. While the atmosphere was cool, the bagel itself was quite small and didn’t justify the high price—especially since we've had better, more satisfying salmon bagels elsewhere in NYC for less. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it, and I wouldn’t go back—there are better bagel spots in the city that offer more value and flavor.

Got a poppy seed bagel with lox and scallion cream cheese (also had onion, tomato, and capers). This was my favorite bagel on the trip and the reason was mainly the cream cheese. It was so light and mild tasting i felt like I could eat a tub of it ans feel fine. The lox was also amazing too though. The sandwitch was just perfectly executed. I wish the in store experience was a little better though. The store become a mess when it gets crowded so plan to go at a slightly odd time for a smoother/faster experience.

My brother was told about this place. Absolutely loved it. Felt like a slip back in time and you can tell this place is not only, take care of and respected, but also has quality staff that put love and attention to your order. We split the classic bagel and lox. Best bagel I have ever had in my life. I truly wish I could eat this everyday. 10/10

Stopped by Russ & Daughters and it’s easy to see why it’s such an iconic spot. The fish quality really stands out — fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. You definitely get a lot for what you order, which makes it feel worthwhile. The classic bagels and spreads complement the fish perfectly, and the whole experience has a timeless, authentic New York feel. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates top-notch smoked fish and traditional deli vibes. We were able to eat right in front of the store, where there is a couple benches available.

The best bagel I had in NYC. Soft and chewy toasted bagels, freshly sliced gravlax lox, scallion cream cheese with capers, onions and tomatoes. Is there anything more quintessential bagel-ly than that?? Take a ticket when you enter and listen closely for them to call your number. Even when there's a lot of people in the store, the line moves fast.

Very good place to get a cream cheese bagel and they are generous. There is a ticket system when you enter and you have to grab a ticket to be served and service is pretty quick. It’s not the best I had as it’s maybe hyped up to be, but certainly very solid. Feels like a commercial lineup with the ticket system rather than personal old style bagel shop.

Lived in New York most of my life (currently in Vegas) and it it wasn’t until this very day at 40 years old did I try the famed Russ and daughters bagel. Is it the best bagel? No. But looking at it as a complete sandwich with all the fixings ordered as recommended. Fantastic, one of, if not the best lox bagels I’ve had. Shame I missed out for all these years. I’m glad I had time meandering around Manhattan today

it was nice. super cute. got french toast and yes a few parts were undercooked but other than that it was good. nice thick bread and crispy on the outside. the maple butter tasted a little freezer burnt and was a tiny amount. the berry sauce was mostly just a thin sugar syrup with barely any berry. the mint was just a garnish. so yeah it was good but probably won't be back just because it was just good, not great.

The brunch here was really delicious, and the vibes inside were exactly what we were looking for. We had some nice fluffy and thick pancakes, and a great omelette. The home fries were a bit different, as they closely resembled very small steak fries. Great prices for the neighborhood, and for 11AM brunch every table was full.

Called in on off chance of getting a table for 4 on a Saturday morning, totally expecting it to be fully booked as it looked like a really cool place and right in the heart of Soho, but they got us in. The food was amazing. The brunch menu just mouth watering, SO many options. I opted for fried chicken and pancakes with whipped lemony ricotta, my son and husband both had a full breakfast with bacon and eggs and pancakes and avocado, daughter had the French toast. We loved it so much we booked to go back tmrw for our last day before heading to JFK. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

This place really inmpressed me. I had the Grey Dog Breakfast plate which was $20, high quality and more food than I could finish. The staff are attractive and friendly. the restaurant is well laid out. It makes me glad that a place like this can still exist in a neighborhood as expensive as Soho.

If brunch were a religion, Grey Dog in SoHo would be the cathedral — and I’d be showing up early in my Sunday best. We sat at the bar (as always, the only way to do it) and were immediately welcomed like long-lost friends by the kind of staff that actually wants to be there — and it shows. Let’s talk drinks: I started with an espresso martini that could quite literally raise the dead — smooth, strong, and dangerously sippable. Followed it up with their spicy Bloody Mary, which slapped me awake in the best possible way. Spicy, tangy, and perfectly balanced. A+ cocktail game. Food? Don’t even get me started… okay, too late: I had the avocado toast, but switched the poached egg for scrambled (because I’m a rebel like that) and added a side of bacon that deserves its own award. Thick, crispy, salty — bacon dreams are made of this. Every bite was a love letter to my taste buds. My girl went with the breakfast croissant sandwich with eggs and bacon, and I swear I saw her soul leave her body in bliss. Flaky, buttery croissant + perfectly cooked eggs + that same legendary bacon = chef’s kiss. The vibe? Cool without trying too hard. Laid back but buzzing. It’s the kind of spot where creatives sip lattes next to hungover legends chasing redemption with brunch. The soundtrack, the service, the ambiance — everything was just right. Grey Dog, you’ve done it again. Don’t ever change.

This was a nice little surprise! Great breakfast and friendly service in a cozy little restaurant. Bacon was thick and done just right, the onions added to the home fries was great the coffee was robust and piping hot! My girlfriend got a hot cocoa and the little paw print of cinnamon was a great little touch that had us missing our cinnamon colored boy. Would recommend to anyone!!

great new american place. the sandwiches are definitely hearty. the salad is super well dressed and there’s a lot of good variety on the menu. atmosphere is fun as always

It was one of the best date dinners ever in NYC! Charming atmosphere, elegant audience, attentive staff, delicious dishes, and surprisingly not as loud as usually in NYC. All these are components of your great time here, and afterwards, you want to visit this restaurant again!! Definitely will come back soon with my friends. PS: Their fries are insane how delicious, old-school style, real potatoes, not a fake!!!

Coming here felt like a religious experience. The ambiance, the service, the food. It all felt out of this world. All of our dishes were great. Perfect execution Benoit

The service here is really wonderful. It’s a classic nyc spot! I want to come back to get more food but we had the buffalo chicken wontons which were so good. But we mainly came here to try the cosmopolitan because this is where it was invented. It did not disappoint! I highly recommend trying it here

Got the salmon tartare and flank frites. Overall we loved the vibe and the service was very good. We also liked the flank frites but I liked the garlic butter more than the au poivre. The fries were perfectly crisp. The salmon tartare was ok, and the sauce honestly didn’t go that well with it.

The vibes of this spot were super fun and I loved the menu. Truly, the best moule frites I’ve had since France. The steak from the steak frites was underwhelming though, and the bearnaise sauce wasn’t balanced. Get the cosmo though!

I always see lots of people going in and out of The Odeon, and since it’s near my new job, we decided to try it out some time ago. The atmosphere could have been better, nothing special, but fine overall. The service was nice; everyone was friendly, polite, and quick. As for the food: the salad was a very small portion and almost empty. The burger had dry bread, but the meat itself was exceptional. The fries were really good, which is actually pretty rare in restaurants. Drinks were average. Overall, I expected more from such a popular place, but it was just fine.

This was a nice authentic place to grab a quick lunch in the city. Has an very old town feel to it being one of the oldest food establishments in the area

I would recommended sitting in the sun room with the brightness and fresh plants. Watching the coffee being churned out. Food serving was plenty and large , and the waiters were friendly. Enjoyed the ambience and food and energy.

The place is lovely, went on a sunny late morning and the skylight was charming. The staff was super friendly, but u found food a little dry for my taste. However my boyfriend enjoyed it so it might be on me. Had the poached eggs and those were really good. There’s also a rooftop; looked nice but only saw it on the way out. Will try next time

The place has a really nice environment. The hostess was not the nicest but our waitress was really nice. The place is not per friendly (not even the rooftop), so we has to seat outside which was okay. The french onion soup is not good but french fries were surprisingly good. My husband enjoyed the steak and eggs

I came here for brunch with my friends, and it was a lovely experience. We made reservations in the morning for five people, and they allowed us to sit, although our fifth Person wasn’t here yet. My favorite part of the restaurant is the hanging plants. They give the vibe of the French countryside. The food was good, and I would come back for brunch again.

The steak was a bit overcooked and not particular well-seasoned with no real crust on the outside. The bacon gnocchi was good, albeit very dairy-heavy. The restaurant was cute but more brightly-lit than I’d imagine a Parisian cafe.

I cannot rave enough about Juliette. The brunch is delicious and wholesome - good quantity and excellent quality. We ordered the eggs florentine, turkey club sandwich, croque monsieur, and blueberry dutch baby. The cocktails were tasty as well. What’s truly special about Juliette is the staff and their service. As an NYC resident, I’m used to general nonchalance from servers… but the staff here is so warm and kind. Thank you for a good time!

Everything was divine from the French onion soup to the salmon and steak, to the chocolate mouse. ARIEL the bartender was an amazing conversationalist, funny and attentive. The bar is a beautiful romantic, not so dim not so bright place. The music was nice, fit well with the vibe. Definitely coming back. Thanks again for everything!!

Great service and the atmosphere is just what you're looking for if you enjoy diners. The pancakes I got weren't as fluffy or flavorful as I'm used to but it was still a decent meal regardless. A bit pricey but to be fair, it's NYC, not Pittsburgh (my meal of pancakes, bacon and orange juice would've been like $13 at a diner in downtown Pittsburgh - it was about $25 here).

A West Village Gem This was honestly the cutest place I’ve ever been to! As tourists, it still felt like a local spot—which made the experience that much better. Getting to soak in the West Village vibe while sitting in this small, cozy diner was everything. It felt intimate, classic, and a little like having breakfast with old money regulars—such a fun, unexpected vibe! We had fancy cereal, the most delicious cheese omelet, and hands down the best apple juice I’ve ever tasted. Everything just hit the spot. It was a little on the pricey side, but for the quality and experience, it was totally worth it. I felt safe, happy, and had a truly special birthday breakfast. Easily one of my favorite moments of the trip. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a cozy, authentic New York breakfast moment.

Perfect local diner. There's a reason they have been around since the late 70's. Food was excellent and service was friendly. I wish we had a Waverlys back home in Phoenix.

Came here for my first meal in New York and food was great. Don’t normally do sausage during breakfast but was seasoned so well. Servers were always checking up on me. All around great place!

Buzzy, old school diner/café with decent food and great service. Great atmosphere and a range of classics on the menu. Great for brunch

I remember the food was soo good and the service so fast that I'm sorry I can't go every week. The coffee is served in normal cups, and the water in plastic ones. It is an small place but since they're so fast you will not wait long. The decorations are nice in special the tinted windows.

Went there for my lunch break from work, I was first seated in the front where there was a bucket of dirty dishes. The cashier was very racist I asked for a seat by the booth which was opened and she told me they were filled and then told the waiter to sit me somewhere else. Next thing I know someone is seated where I asked to be. They were very rude, food was just nasty as the attitude, if you are a person of color the atmosphere in there will give you 1953 like you belong on the “Other side” of town. I wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone, don’t recommend especially if you are of color and no cheese burger with fries and a drink shouldn’t be worth $26!

A Must-Try NYC Breakfast Spot! If you're looking for a fantastic breakfast experience in NYC, Egg Shop is a must-visit! The food is absolutely incredible. The fried chicken is juicy and flavorful. The bacon, egg, and cheese on brioche is a classic done right. And don't forget to try the hash browns – crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and perfect for dipping in the chipotle bourbon ketchup. The Brunch is a must-have, and the SPA WATER drinks are refreshing and unique. And if you have room for dessert, the munchkin donuts are the perfect way to end your meal. The service is top-notch, and the bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable. Overall, Egg Shop is a fantastic place to enjoy a delicious and fun breakfast. Highly recommend!

I had the truffle hash brown and the Salmon Benny—both were delicious. The service was friendly and quick. The space is quite small, so I’d recommend booking a table in advance, especially on weekends.

Cute breakfast / brunch restaurant that felt very homey with the decor and vibe inside! So many different egg dishes I had a hard time choosing one. Went with the Turkish Eggs which were reeeeeally good. Such an excellent combo of flavors. The eggs were poached perfectly and with the cucumbers and tzatziki it made it a bit tangy. But also some spice from the chili, yum!!! It was a pretty messy-to-eat dish but came with bread so you could soak everything up. Got the Raspberry Iced Tea to drink which was fine. Honestly didn’t really taste much raspberry which was surprising since it was so pink. But it was unsweetened so maybe thats why, still refreshing!

I LOVE the egg shop!!! I come every single time I’m in the city! I was sad they changed the menu a bit but it forced me to try something new and it did not disappoint I got the Turkish eggs and OMG. So light but so filling. Perfect spot for annual birthday brunches

This place was amazing. I got the smoked salmon Benedict. And my sister got a scrambled egg on the gluten-free bread. Which by the way, is amazing. They’re gluten-free bread is so buttery and soft. The meals were amazing, the service was awesome. Ana helped us and she was so sweet and attentive. The atmosphere is very comfy and Chill. I could’ve stayed here all day. The lavender latte is a must try. And the background music for your experience is the icing on the cake. Definitely coming back.

Woah this is a #1 must stop by for breakfast. $15-20 plates and everything tastes fresh and delicious. Peper boy sandwich 5/5- the egg was fluffy and well seasoned. The pepper bacon stood out with umami flavor and had its own texture that wasn’t too crunchy. I added the honey butter sauce to it! This is one of the best breakfast places I’ve ever been to. Definitely coming back and this is a must see every time I visit in New York.

Absolutely delicious brunch. I have been following this restaurant in Instagram for a year now and could not wait to try it. It did NOT disappoint. The place is cozy and the food is amazing. Service was prompt and friendly.

I'm a little confused about the high rating. Not sure if it is a rare off day or if this place is overrated. Coffee was average, beer terrible. I got the French toast, it was good, especially the butter it came with. Biscuits and jam was okie, the biscuit had a dry kind of texture. Eggs Florentine was very bad, you could even see egg shells on it, egg was over cooked for it to be called poached. We also got steak and eggs, steak was not bad but potatoes and other things on the plate somehow felt not fresh. I finally tried the French fries, while a little salty, it was good. Overall, if u go by the high rating, u can be very disappointed like my experience. Maybe go with no expectations and u may even give 4 stars.

We had brunch here, the food was nice (not the best) but the cappuccino was really not up to standard. It was cold and the milk looked like they used a frothing machine. We had the french toast, which consisted of 2 pieces of bread and a strawberry and the eggs Benedict. Probably won’t be back here because of the coffee and the food could be a little bit better for the price. Staff was really nice and friendly.

We had to wait a long time to get a table even though the place was not that busy. After ordering, the food took more than 45 minutes to get to our table. A bit confused because it wasn’t that busy. After the food arrived, it was okay but definitely not worth the wait. If you really interested in visiting, I would recommend to check out the creepy pictures on the walls.

No reservations. Walk-in process was a mess. The food is fine. When I have brunch on the weekend, and I’m paying good money for it….it better be delicious. The hollandaise sauce was as average as it gets. Every plate was just normal food. No shade. It’s just veryyyy low on the ladder as a brunch spot because of the long wait, average food, and average drinks.

I came here for both dinner on a Monday and brunch on the weekend. Service was great. Fast and attentive. My brunch was actually not the best but I'm very picky. Wasn't fond of the chai tea latte (if you like pre made latte mix like I do, you likely won't want it here either. It's definitely home made, which is nice... But I couldn't drink it) i had the Benedict and wished it had more hollandaise. Good home fries and bloody Mary though. I really wanted to like it because of the great staff and nice interior design. I had the specialty cocktail "De Peach Mode" and it was excellent. The roast beef French dip was the best food I've had here also. I guess the brunch just wasn't for me. Love those waitresses though.

Average place. The Benedict was good. The pancakes were bad. In all fairness, they took the pancakes back and brought out a second Benny. The server & all staff were really nice.

French toast totally worth a try!!! Was surprised when taking a bite! Creamy and sweet and tasty!!!! Love it! We also had frittata, it’s basically like omelette! yum yum! Good place to have brunch with friends! Recommended!

Everything is great about this place. First, the donut was really, really good. I tried the traditional glazed, and it was honestly incredible. Secondly, the service was super friendly and helpful. The girl behind the counter was really kind. Last but not least, it's hard to beat their prices, especially in NYC.

I was in the area so I finally stopped by Peter Pan Donuts. I tried the blueberry buttermilk donut first, and honestly, it was pretty dry. Mike’s Donuts in Bay Ridge definitely does a better blueberry donut. The apple crumble donut, though, totally saved the experience. It was excellent — the apple filling and pie crumb topping worked perfectly together, and it wasn’t overly sweet. Definitely the highlight. From what I saw (and tasted), their cake donuts seem to run on the dry side. I’d stick to their yeast donuts instead, since the sour cream, old fashioned, and chocolate cake donuts all looked dry too. Customer service was fine — not rude, but I did have to flag someone down to get served once seated. Overall: 3/5.

I was ready to be absolutely blown away by the doughnuts here and bought two to test both. Firstly, and perhaps my fault, the offer wasn’t as broad as I’d hoped due to selling out. I really wanted to try glazed/plain plus one of the jam options that I did try. On both doughnuts the pastry was exceptional - mixture of light and full of flavour. Jam was too much for me - felt too processed/thick/sugary. It’s a good offer so I’d recommend trying. Queue is long but moves quick so don’t be put off by that.

We visited here on a Sunday morning around 11 am, just before the lunch rush. I was hoping to order an apple fritter, but they ran out, so I ordered a honey dip and a lemon filled donut, which was generously filled. The texture of the donuts was soft and chewy, making it a perfect snack! I loved the old-fashioned diner vibes with the barstools and decor. This joint was reasonably priced, especially considering the price of quality pastries in NYC, but I would definitely recommend visiting early in the morning for a greater selection of flavors. I would definitely recommend visiting Greenpoint Toys across the street with its wide array of toys for all ages.

I so wanted to like this place but the donuts were…. beyond mid. Their classic honey ring donut had an oily, unfresh taste and their blueberry cake donut was similarly gas station-like. The staff were super friendly and the retro vibe inside is very cute. My NYC donut search continues :(

Was recommended by NYPD cop and wanted to like it, but was trash food. Went there late AM July 28 and it was the first and only thing I ate that day. Had coffee, red velvet donut but marble cruller was off, really oily from the fryer and just bad tasting chocolate. But that was enough to upset stomach and started vomiting later so everything came out until nothing left. Otherwise, staff was wonderful, prices good, cool atmosphere... but we'll never go back.

Very characteristic place, if you want try delicious donuts and take a good espresso (like the italian one) it's a must visit this historic bakery in Brooklyn!

Really good atmosphere and service. Food was very good and nice variety. The tahini was excellent. The falafel was good and sauces were flavorful. Service from our waiter was excellent and the rest of staff were very helpful.

The waiter was amazing and patient describing every dish. Everything was amazing and unlike anything I have ever eaten. I would come back again and again if I lived even remotely close. I would recommend coming with a group so you can try a little of everything. The pita bread and labne will ruin me for life at any other restaurant. You think I’m being dramatic, I’m not. Go!

I've been wanting to try Shuka for a while, and I finally got the chance! We decided to go all in with the Shuka Feast, and it was absolutely worth it--delicious and plentiful. Here are some highlights: The fried halloumi, a semi-sweet fried cheese, was incredible--an instant favorite. Among the dips, the labne with tangerine and honey and the squash moutabel stood out as top-notch. The turmeric rice was a standout too, packed with flavor from cranberries and fried onions--I couldn't get enough of it! The Niman Ranch sirloin steak, while slightly tough and chewy, delivered fantastic flavor, and the grilled lamb was another solid choice. The za'atar fries were tasty, and we also tried the spit-roasted chicken shawarma. While the chicken was juicy, it didn't quite win me over and could've been skipped. Service was excellent--attentive and welcoming. Overall, the food was really good, and I'd definitely return. Highly recommend! :)

My cousins own shuka but I promise I’m not being biased! The atmosphere and vibes couldn’t have been better. I love sitting in the window during beautiful weather because they open it up and it’s indoor/outdoor dining. The Turkish coffee… TO DIE FOR. I’m not a big coffee drinker but this coffee was so delicious it didn’t even need milk. It had the perfect cinnamon taste I drank it black. We got the hummus which was obviously delicious. The shwarma is mouthwatering. The wait staff was incredible. Told them I have a dairy allergy and she actually walked through the entire menu with me circling the things I could eat. She never once made it feel like a burden I couldn’t eat dairy. Overall amazing experience and If you are ever in the area check them out!!

Wonderful time here! Many great vegetarian options to choose from. Our server was so kind and welcoming and every dish was delicious. Excited to come back and try more seasonal dishes.

Shuka is located in SOHO which is a great area to walk around in before or after a meal. We had reservations ( they were packed on a weekend) and our server Luis was excellent at offering suggestions. We had a party of four people and tried two non alcoholic drinks, the blueberry mint smash and jasmine plum fizz ($10 each) which were really good. I loved the atmosphere inside with all the twinkle lights. We shared the hummus, the crispy squash blossoms and the roasted peaches to start with, my favorite was the squash blossoms. Then we tried three different kebabs, the chicken, the Merguez and the arctic char. My favorite of those was the arctic char. We enjoyed our dinner and I think the only negative is that it's pricey for the amount of food you get. Our total bill came to $177 without the tip.

Been here many times and food is always so delicious! Highly recommend. Spacious restaurant and airy, outdoor seating for spring. Food: Consistently delicious. This time we got two dips and the Fattoush Salad- good portions sizes and filling. Service: Usually a bit slow, but not an issue since usually we come here to hang out. I wouldn’t go here if you’re trying to get in and out though- their staff seem to be slim for all the tables they need to wait on. Atmosphere: Excellent. Good seating options for small groups or big groups. Indoor and outdoor options available too. This place always gets packed though so go during off times or put in a reservation.

The menu is small but has very interesting items. New American with Japanese flavors. The salmon dish was really good and the oysters were nice and fresh. Nice outdoor seating. Definitely on the pricey side so I wouldn't really come here if I was very hungry (more for a drink and something to share). Friendly service.

Marlow & Sons Est. 2004 Layout/atmosphere *Tables (marble & wood); bar area; cabin-like; tables on sidewalk Food/drink *Whitefish Salad toast with capers & dill (on She Wolf Bread) - Good; thick cut bread; salad - smoky; lemon zest *Espresso Rye Brownie - Good; dense

It’s such a pity, I really wanted to like this place but was let down for some reason. Ambience was great for casual dining, super hip decor, noises from tables reverberating around the small, cavern like inner room. Food was good as well. But it was so so slow. We wanted to order starters first, see how we feel before ordering mains. We were told it has to be all at once. Even though they took our orders from the start, we had to wait an hour for the mains to arrive (same for the table beside us). The service staff did come by and apologise twice, so I’m guessing the slow service is not usually the norm.

The food was good but a bit overpriced and the portions were on a small side. Grilled bluefish was really good but the pork cutlet was so so. There are limited vegetarian options as they use fish sauce in many dishes. Service is nice and tends to be on a slower side, which was okay for us. They have nice outside seating as well.

I may have reviewed this spot already and am skewing the ratings BUT this is a must. The staff are wonderful. The wine selection is 😙👌🏼 the oysters. Are. The best oysters. I HAVE EVER HAD! We went on a Sunday and sat at the bar (we made a reservation but didn’t need it… but it may be advisable just in case because it’s a small spot).

There's a sense of familiarity to Marlow & Sons - the kind of place you would dream of spending any Friday night. Whether it's sharing a plate of their celebrated brick chicken with a date, or enjoying a cocktail and conversation at the bar, this romantic setting is ideal for just about any occasion. The farm fresh menu changes every week, but one staple item of the last 12 years is their chicken liver pate on sour dough. It's the most decadent, beautiful, perfectly concocted whipped goodness you could ever imagine. And oh so generously slathered onto the toasted bread. It's a must try.

Ate here last night. We sent $116 for two of us and we were hungry afterwards. I won’t be returning. The price is high for how little food you get and how basic the food is. We had $35 trout that was a tiny piece. We had pickled tomatoes which weren’t bad but very un exciting. The chili and seed chips again were just bland in taste and salty. If it was all half the price i might return but i would say not worth it.

Awesome french toasts, one of the best ones in NY. Everything about it was done right. Our coffees were not right the first time. I provided the feedback to waitstaff but the owner himself took over and brought us perfect lattes.

Wonderful place with plenty of healthy options. I had the multigrain avocado toast with a side of roasted sweet potato—fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Cozy, bright atmosphere that feels welcoming. Huge thanks to Dana for the warm, attentive service!

Such a cute little French-style brunch spot! The place is small but super cozy with a nice vibe. Got the latte and french toast with banana, blueberries, and almond flakes — so good! Soft, not too sweet, and perfect with the coffee. The smoked salmon and avocado toast was fresh and flavorful too — love the combo with lemon and dill. Great spot to chill, grab brunch, and enjoy some quality food and coffee. Definitely a hidden gem worth checking out! ☕️💙🥐

Amazing food, if you’re ordering french toast and doesn’t like a lot of sugar syrup ask them to give it on side and you can take it according to you, it’s quite sweet but amazing taste and must try almond croissant. Highly recommend

We had the salmon brioche and a croque madame, both were very good. The coffee was solid too, but the real highlight was the dessert: the chocolate tart with ice cream is a must-try. The staff was friendly and attentive. The only downsides were the size of the space, it can feel quite cramped when crowded and the smell; our clothes held onto the food odors after leaving.

It was my first time in New York and stopping by this place was far the best decision. I can’t stop talking about how delicious this place was with my family back home so if you’re visiting from out of town I highly recommend.

Amazing place for a quick but ultra delicious breakfast. Laid back atmosphere and perfect environment to get ready for the day! Top service. Avocado toast is highly recommended.

Great salmon burger with super crispy and chewy hot off the fryer fries, and came with a delicious mustard. The escargot was meaty, although could have been more flavorful (tasted somewhat bland).

Absolutely fantastic experience at Café Paulette! Everything was top-notch, from the attentive service to the charming atmosphere. The steak was cooked to perfection, I recommend ordering it medium for the best texture. Don't leave without trying their freshly squeezed orange juice, it's a real treat!

A small and packed space that offers a strong menu of French food. I was not the biggest fan of this restaurant as I felt the prices did not accurately reflect the dishes. We ordered the artichoke salad, an onion soup, and the steak frites. Artichoke salad was great - fresh, crunch, acidic and delicious Onion soup - to me, it felt like the soup had a slight tomato base. The cheese and bread was great, but I felt the onions had not stewed enough. 6.5/10 Steak frites - Beware! $40 for a small piece of steak (w frites and salad). Tasted good, but definitely NOT worth the price. I’m glad I went and tried this place, I’ve always walked past it and wanted to know how it was. I would recommend for perhaps a first date.

Noisy place. Duck is nice. Escargot I wouldn't recommend. Too sour and without shells. Profiteroles serve with ice cream and black hot chocolate. Delicious

At Café Paulette, tucked along the quiet, tree-lined South Elliott Place just steps from Fort Greene Park, the experience feels like stumbling upon a slice of Paris hidden in Brooklyn. The café’s corner location, with its charming bistro tables spilling out onto the sidewalk, hums with a subtle European rhythm—laughter drifting between glasses, the clink of cutlery, the soft hum of French pop playing in the background. On a crisp evening, I settled into a small marble-topped table under the amber glow of a vintage lamp and ordered the planche mixte—the signature charcuterie and cheese board—and a glass of Bordeaux red to accompany it. The board arrived on a sturdy slab of wood, artfully arranged but without pretense—rustic yet deliberate. The meats formed a savory mosaic: delicate ribbons of prosciutto di Parma folded into soft petals; slices of saucisson sec, their marbled fat gleaming under the low light; and smoky, peppered coppa that added a touch of spice and warmth. Each bite revealed a different facet of craftsmanship—the prosciutto melting into buttery silk, the saucisson offering a firm, satisfying chew, and the coppa lingering with a bold, almost earthy aroma. The portions were generous but never overwhelming, designed for leisurely grazing rather than hurried consumption. The cheese selection complemented the meats with a careful balance of texture and intensity. A wedge of brie de Meaux oozed gracefully at the edges, rich and decadent, its mild earthiness deepening as it met the Bordeaux. The comté, aged to perfection, carried nutty undertones and a crystalline crunch that spoke to its maturity. A pungent bleu d’Auvergne brought contrast and intrigue—sharp yet creamy, its saltiness offset by a drizzle of honey served on the side. Scattered around the board were small pleasures that tied everything together: crisp cornichons offering bright acidity, tiny mounds of Dijon mustard with just the right bite, and a still-warm baguette with a shattering crust and pillowy center, baked that morning across the street. The Bordeaux was an impeccable companion—a full-bodied red that opened with aromas of plum, black cherry, and cedar. Its tannins were structured but never harsh, allowing it to glide easily alongside the richness of the charcuterie. The first sip deepened the flavors of the meats; the second melted seamlessly into the creaminess of the cheese. Together, wine and board danced in harmony—each amplifying the other, never competing. What truly defines Café Paulette, however, isn’t just the quality of its food and wine but the intimacy of the experience. The servers glide with quiet confidence, happy to discuss the origin of a particular cheese or suggest a pairing without an ounce of pretension. There’s a sense that time slows here—conversations stretch, glasses are refilled, and the night drifts along softly, like a French chanson playing just out of reach. By the time I finished the last piece of baguette, the board was nearly bare—a few smudges of honey, a lone slice of comté, a whisper of mustard. I lingered over the final sip of Bordeaux, savoring the warmth that lingered both in the glass and in the atmosphere. Café Paulette is not just a place to eat; it’s a place to savor—a quiet, elegant reminder that the simple combination of good wine, good food, and good company is still the essence of dining at its finest.

Nice brunch spot with cute views of fort greene park. We ordered eggs benedict which was really good—the ham they use is different from canadian bacon. The ham is sliced thin and has a very nice smoky flavor. The hollandaise sauce is also well seasoned and I’m glad they don’t drench the dish with it. Comes with yummy fries and a side salad to balance things out. The side order of bacon was also good. Giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because the drinks were somewhat disappointing for a cafe spot like this. The oat milk matcha was flat and watery (i think it has to do with lots of melted ice and the type of grainy oat milk they use, also not enough matcha powder) the iced coffee was also just mediocre, ice was pretty much all melted and kinda tasted like weak deli coffee. I will say the fresh squeezed orange juice was refreshing.

Avoid if sitting outside unless you enjoy bugs with your wine. It’s a wonderfully located quaint wine bar just outside Fort Greene Park with plentiful outdoor seating. However do stay away if you plan sit outside as abundant flying insects are drawn to the wines and inevitably one came inside my glass. When I brought it to the attention of the waiter, they responded with apathy, brushing it off as a common occurrence and offered a spoon as remedy. Or alternatively 5% off for a new pour. How laughable. Understand this is a tricky scenario but at minimum more care could be taken in responding to such situations such as a forewarning before customers sit down if indeed this is a situation that happens all day long as the waiter relayed. Will not return.

The food was OK. Although the burger is a basic average burger. Idk where they got "best burger 2016", I guess those were different times. But what soured me about this place was not the food, or the super long wait times, or even the fact that the steak dish we ordered came was raw and uncooked and we had to send it back (which I feel terrible doing). What soured me was their "surge pricing" model. Call it surge pricing, or price gouging.. the lunch menu lists the burger for $11, while the brunch menu lists it for $19. So I asked "what's the difference between the burger on the lunch menu versus brunch", and the server said "none". So of course I asked "any additional sides or anything" and they responded again "no they're the same". But since they don't offer the lunch burger menu before 5pm, I agreed to get the higher priced brunch burger. But I asked if they could do the Swiss bacon burger instead (which is $13 on the lunch menu), but the server refused and said I'd have to pay the additional fees to upgrade from American cheese to Swiss, and to add bacon. So I was up-charged to $24, for the same burger that will cost $11 less, only 1.5 hours later. Yeah it's a basic mediocre $10 burger (which is close to the price they usually charge), but def not a $24 burger. What a disappointing experience.

The food is good, a basic no frills spot serving basic brunch options. I found it to be interesting, almost a hint of Indian flavor in the chicken sandwich. This is a popular choice for a diverse set of people, all closely seated to each other. The reason this is getting 3 stars is because the service is awful. I don’t know if the waiter was having a bad day, but they were clearly making it obvious they were unhappy. I usually don’t care for the service to be friendly, but at least be nice to the customer and don’t stare them down.

Great spot - this was the only breakfast place in the area that had a good crowd and vibe. I liked their menu options - we ordered the Crab cake Benedict. I don’t eat a lot of sea food but I really liked it! The potatoes were flavorful and the avocado was very fresh. Our server was super sweet and service was quick. Overall great experience, would definitely come back again! There’s also Tompskin’s park close by to hang later on a sunny day.

This place is awesome. They seated us without reservation at peak hours and provided excellent service. Their burgers are award-winning, and boy you can tell- soooo good. If you go here, you just have to try one.

The service and environment were great. The prices were affordable. It's clearly a popular choice and I recommend going with a reservation. Everyone's food tasted great except for mine. The burger that apparently won an award was a carbon copy of a Big Mac. It was as greasy and tasted just as bad. Two smashed burgers with soggy buns, messy lettuce and wet tomato. Even the shoe string fries looked straight outta McD's. The Steak & eggs, Benedict, or Sausage sandwich were much better Brunch options

The crab cake Benedict and the French Roast were both awesome! The Benedict came with great potatoes and a side salad as well. It was one of the best French Toasts I’ve ever had, I’m not sure how they got the bread so crunchy and the inside so gooey. There caramelized bananas on top were great too. The ice coffee was not great though, all the ice in it melted, but it was only $2 at least.

Burger and fries were delicious. My only issue was with plating - fries tasted good but could have been roasted to a lovely brown (these look barely out of the fryer). Burger was delicious but the cheese hadn’t even melted when it arrived. In the city where we eat with our eyes, it could use some work. But taste was good.
