literally the best pancakes i've ever had. go for seasonal banana or pear. cash only.
Liz CargillOctober 18, 2015
You must have their blueberry pancakes! Takeaway to beat the long wait wasn't a bad idea
ALMay 13, 2014
Even on weekdays there is a long wait. Be prepared! Its better to come as a 1 or 2.
Alex RobertsonApril 17, 2022
pancakes (great) > breakfast (good)
DAugust 8, 2012
Everything is good!!! Especially their blueberry pancakes and I'm not a huge fan of pancakes.
Hanna VysochinAugust 21, 2018
Blueberry Pancakes! The best ever!
Rachel SmithOctober 16, 2015
If you like sweet things go here! A bit too sweet for me. Even the bacon is covered in maple syrup!
Albert LamJuly 12, 2013
Try the Banana Walnut Pancakes - Light and fluffy. Not too sweet. Delicious.
Vivian VoApril 12, 2015
sugared bacon omg. Get here right when they open and the wait was only 30 min.
Kristen MaguireApril 22, 2019
Blueberry pancakes and eggs Benedict FTW

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.
Jackie PoliMarch 7, 2014
Believe the hype. But don't believe the description when it tells you credit cards are accepted. Cash only!
Kristin DePlatchettApril 11, 2011
Amazing brunch. Great pancakes, french toast and omelettes. Expect at least an hour's wait on the weekend mornings...

the bacon served with the southern breakfast is significantly different from the other bacons. this is my fav in NYC.
Njoud FahadNovember 30, 2018
I don’t understand why everyone is going crazy about this place! I tried the French toast and didn’t like it at all !!!
Ramses RamirezJuly 17, 2018
Chicken and waffles delicious
Luna SzökeApril 27, 2013
Best pancakes hands down! Also try the creative daily specials!
Felix BoehmeJune 11, 2017
Pancakes and eggs Benedict are great
ShinaFebruary 23, 2017
Yes, pancakes. But also, French toast. Be prepared to wait.
Naphat KijsamrejMarch 19, 2016
Pancakes are worth the hype!
Anand VijayakumarJanuary 19, 2017
Donuts here are good and always suggest visit here.
Joey TJanuary 19, 2016
Everyone loves the blueberry pancakes but I'm here for the banana ones!
Barton SmithApril 30, 2017
So 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.
Kate 💎 KolendaMarch 10, 2019
The 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.
toluJanuary 29, 2020
Cash only!
Fawaz BAugust 5, 2013
Best huevos rancheros of my life. Great friendly service.
Ketil Moland OlsenNovember 13, 2022
Awesome for breakfast!

Definitely take advantage of February's pancake month! But their banana walnut pancakes are equally delicious. Hands down, best in NYC.
Stephen YangDecember 21, 2012
They give you mini pancakes while you wait to be seated. Winner winner chicken dinner.
Michael LabadorfMarch 19, 2018
Great place for good food. Good staff!!!
Lisa RodriguezJuly 21, 2018
Spicy Shrimp and cheese grits - DELICIOUS!

Spicy shrimp and cheese grits- DELICIOUS!
ThrillistFebruary 13, 2014
It's Pancake Month so there's a different specialty pancake every few days (from 8am-4pm and 6-11pm), including one with raspberries and raspberry-caramel sauce tomorrow. Only available on weekdays. Read more

Hashbrown 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.
Ronald WidhaOctober 21, 2016
The chicken and waffle isn't what it's cracked up to be. Go Jacob's pickles instead
Jenina S.September 3, 2012
Duh 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

Try the Blueberry Pancakes - Their Maple butter goes perfectly with blueberry pancakes!
Christine KarakiAugust 9, 2014
The greatest breakfast on Earth. Period.
Andy FangSeptember 19, 2014
Bloody Mary is great!
Joanne KimMay 29, 2015
What's this 'automatic gratuity' nonsense. Pancakes were beyond delicious though.
Soma AsapuMarch 2, 2012
don't care if you get the beloved blueberry pancakes or not, but the must have here is the SUGAR-CURED BACON!
Ike SongAugust 29, 2015
Come before 11am...after that the wait will be over 1.5 hours
George SmithSeptember 23, 2010
If 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!!
Victoria GJune 26, 2016
BEST. PANCAKES. EVER. EVERRRRRRRRRRR
ALMay 13, 2014
Be wise how you ration the warm maple butter, there is a $2 charge for it if you want more.
Marti TApril 8, 2015
I am not a fan of pancakes but these are incredible!
