Giant sandwiches, salads, specials and burgers for lunch all of which are freshly prepared and delicious. Prompt service that is friendly to boot. Favorite mid-priced spot within a half mile.
Debbie PostmanApril 4, 2013You have to try their Mac and cheese. It's delicious!!! I wish the servers were as customer focused as they were on their private conversations. Sit at the bar when serge is there
Mary Ann SullivanApril 23, 2023The avocado toast with salmon is delicious and must try the fabulously delicious French toast. Turkey bacon is very good. Order one order to share - good portion in one order. Definitely recommend.
Food is good, not great. I've been here for both brunch and dinner. If you're looking for a reasonably priced, no frills , neighborhood eatery with plenty of options to go around - this is it.- Nas BenaliMarch 22, 2015I never walk out disappointed. Great food with good-size portions. Check out this nice steak and frites plate!
Lewis PaffileJune 30, 2019Love the brunch menu. Service is great. Fun atmosphere...and classic rock playing low in the background. One of our go-to spots.
Pete MarcusMarch 5, 2020Really nice spot for breakfast. Omelette and home fries were lovely, coffee was good too. Spacious and pleasant place.
Andrew CAugust 17, 2016The fries & brunch potatoes are crispy and delicious... All else was not good -- host was unorganized and flustered + wait staff was slow and inattentive + iced coffee flavour changed with new cup- Alex Cruz-LebrónNovember 18, 2017The buiscuit and gravy tha comes with the Country Eggs is to die for. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Eric GonzalezMay 31, 2015The brioche French toast was awesome and worth the wait. Ate it so quick I couldn't snap a photo. The maple syrup was legit too.
Rob NNovember 2, 2011Not a big brunch fan. But they do make a good bloody Mary and the food is great. Nice spot for a Sunday visit. Also if you're there at the right time you may run into Jimmy Fallon.
You'll have to pick it up (they don't deliver) but the tomato soup here is killer. As is the grilled romaine salad. Has a very home-in-the-country vibe and is potentially run by the Irish mafia.
Solid brunch option. On the weekends they sometimes over-poach their eggs, but the brioche french toast makes it all worth it.
Benjamin DoyleAugust 17, 2015great hash browns, fruit is minimal (small fruit sides and tiny orange juice). eggs benedict does not have enough hollandaise sauce
Matt ShermanNovember 20, 2011The French toast is the best I’ve had in NYC, by a margin. Crispy-outside, soft-inside brioche with lemon curd. The rest of the menu is good but not “best of.”
Ok so I pretty much love the hummus but I love their steak and salmon. But also try their mussels!!! To die for!!!
E DwardApril 10, 2016Brioche French Toast is to die for. Charming, quaint restaurant with a small town vibe.- Ok considering I have found out that I am the only one really who comes here all the time every staff member here knows me. What does that say meaning VIP....
Maria AndreaMay 26, 2013The French toast is a block of deliciousness. The lemon curd is where it's at. Crab Cake Benedict is good too.
Biscuits smothered in sausage gravy. The Country Breakfast is a worthy choice for this reason alone.
Diane CimineMarch 3, 2013Brioche French toast was amazing and even the Irish tea delish. Plus gracious service. Long lines don't lie.
Dominic GadouryJune 5, 2013The food and service are amazing for a reasonable price! Great place to meet with friends for a nice meal.
Melissa NanquilSeptember 7, 2015Great service and great food. They have large portions so go in hungry!
Tina LoftJuly 21, 2013Cute decor and good food. Would recommend the country eggs dish with gruyere cheese.
Mark estanislaoFebruary 9, 2014Enjoyed the Steak and eggs. Loved the Chipotle Orange Pull Pork Sandwich :)
Kate K.October 13, 2013Their curry chicken salad sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Ever.- Lamb chops are my fave. Ask to sub in asparagus for the greens, yummmmmmy.
Brook FrazierOctober 5, 2014Not your typical brunch crowd (a good thing). No frills American breakfasts *yummm*
Adam ButeuxJuly 15, 2013Lookout for the magic pixies that come out when you order pancakes and eggs at the same time
Chris BruceJuly 14, 2015Chipotle-orange pulled pork was solid, but nothing to write home about. Brunch here is very good and not the wait of Friend of a Farmer
Irene YMarch 13, 2013Overall, good food! The calamari is the best calamari I have tasted near Baruch area.
Darren MarksNovember 23, 2013Food would be good if served at a soup kitchen. Save yourself some money and indigestion and simply eat two twenty dollar bills with ketchup
Egg white omelettes done to perfection. Blueberry pancakes that always taste fresh
Good spot for breakfast & brunch. I love scrambled eggs with cumberland sausage & a pot of tea.
KristenApril 14, 2014Such a cute place! We went for breakfast. They have great coffee and great service. They're always filling up your coffee cup. The pancakes were some of the best I've had!
