BettieApril 8, 2013The french toast here was amazing, and this is coming from someone who normally HATES it.
Khalifa Al FalasiAugust 22, 2014Went to compare the service between both US & Dubai branches , sorry NY we set high standards 😉
Vivian VoApril 12, 2015sugared bacon omg. Get here right when they open and the wait was only 30 min.
Mommy ShortsJanuary 2, 2011The wait for the weekend brunch is too long for a kid, but if you can swing it, go for lunch on a weekday. Their famous pancakes are served at all hours. Banana is best.
Order a plate of blueberry pancakes for the table and a biscuit for the table. Get eggs with bacon and other deliciousness and you will be sad when the meal is over.
Kristin DePlatchettApril 11, 2011Amazing brunch. Great pancakes, french toast and omelettes. Expect at least an hour's wait on the weekend mornings...
Njoud FahadNovember 30, 2018I don’t understand why everyone is going crazy about this place! I tried the French toast and didn’t like it at all !!!
Barton SmithApril 30, 2017So it wasn't bad food but it's not worthy of the #1 breakfast spot in NYC and definitely not worth the wait. Unfortunately most dishes were bland, including the blueberry pancakes and fried chicken.
Lauren OosterlinckMay 7, 2010grits and pancakes are perfection. buut don't ask for extra syrup - they don't give you enough in the first place - lest you're prepared to pay an additional 2 bucks! shakes aren't the best-still love
Jackie PoliMarch 7, 2014Believe the hype. But don't believe the description when it tells you credit cards are accepted. Cash only!
Stephen YangDecember 21, 2012They give you mini pancakes while you wait to be seated. Winner winner chicken dinner.
Definitely take advantage of February's pancake month! But their banana walnut pancakes are equally delicious. Hands down, best in NYC.
Kate 💎 KolendaMarch 10, 2019The grits lacked a lot of (any?) salt and had too much corn starch. Top of biscuit came drowned in tomato sauce (“jam,” but lol). Cash-only during the day but they don’t have an ATM. No thanks.- B SJune 26, 2018Hashbrown had no taste besides oil. Scones didn't really taste like anything, either. Pancakes were just fine. I wanted to like it, but I was left wondering why this is ranked #1 for LES breakfast.
Jenina S.September 3, 2012Duh to the pancakes, but try the spinach cheddar muffin while you wait! Delicious.
Try the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich - This chicken sandwich is the truth! Get it for brunch instead of dinner though
Athena ChangMay 10, 2012Try the Blueberry Pancakes - Their Maple butter goes perfectly with blueberry pancakes!
Soma AsapuMarch 2, 2012don't care if you get the beloved blueberry pancakes or not, but the must have here is the SUGAR-CURED BACON!

Ronald WidhaOctober 21, 2016The chicken and waffle isn't what it's cracked up to be. Go Jacob's pickles instead
- ALMay 13, 2014Be wise how you ration the warm maple butter, there is a $2 charge for it if you want more.
Alie JimenezFebruary 23, 2014Maine blueberry pancakes are incredible. Skip the Spanish scramble, not really much flavor there.
Angela GlassSeptember 17, 2010Go early; it's tiny and always a wait, but so worth it for comfort food. Everything on the menu is recommended!

George SmithSeptember 23, 2010If you leave nearby, you can wake up - put your name on the list, and come back when they tell you to. Less wait and still great food!!
