Wonderful brunch spot, sat outside since super long wait for inside... even still, staff was quick and attentive!! All of the food is worthwhile, add fries to anything (theyre perfectly crisped)

The Internets said that this would be a great place to take a larger family group with kids after the Museum. And the Internets were spot on! Fantastic service and surprisingly large servings.

Sit, relax and enjoy a delicious prix fixe Sunday brunch – start with the complimentary cinnamon bread followed by either Crab Cake Benedict or the Quiche.

One of my neighborhood favorites. The staff are super friendly and the menu has a wide variety of options.

Mac and cheese with toppings are amazing 😍 and they have the best best service. Everyone is nice in there. Plus they have dogs photos all around you.

Watching the owner David work his magic with his customers is uncanny. He truly has a love for what he does and the people he serves. Aye, and the food is wonderful as well. 😉

Super jovial, Incredible staff who guided me to the right brunch choice without being annoyed. Food was good and hit the spot, not the absolute best but I will definitely be back!

I see a lot of comments about the mac n' cheese, which just tells me that full advantage has not been taken by some people of the wonderful food options in this great city. Go to S'MAC instead.

The burger is decent. Good brunch special that comes with a zesty Bloody Mary. Great interior decor with dogs galore and nice outside patio

This is a great place to have brunch. Very family friendly. The strawberry butter is to die for.

Burgers and sweet potato fries, sesame chicken appetizer, Mac and cheese all delicious. Fine brunch too and you can bring your dog!

The service here is excellent. They were so accommodating of my party of 5 which grew to 8. It’s rare to have such polite service in NYC.

French toast is killer! Essentially raisin bread in french toast form. Oatmeal is also lip-smackingly good--it's made with sweet cream or something like that.
Mark LombardiAugust 10, 2014
Favorite place on the UWS for brunch. The rancheros and quiche are both delicious.
Christian DickmannOctober 25, 2014
Had the "buffalo chicken mac & cheese", and the first half was great, but I should have stopped myself from eating more. I left way too full to enjoy the post-dinner walk.
Jaycob BurnsAugust 24, 2014
They give you baskets of muffins with brunch. This makes it a good place just for that fact alone.
Anu NanavatiJanuary 25, 2022
Best brunch on the UWS, eggs are great but we missed the house muffins that they are not making anymore
Eddie PJune 5, 2018
It's a diner basically, but it's not bad. It's good; solid burger. Not sure if I would come here specifically for food, but it's a good dinner/drink option if you're in the n'hood. Pub-like vibes.

Fun place! Amazing mac and cheese! It's kinda family-ish so don't go there with a young crowd otherwise they shush you!!!

Never much of a line for brunch but food is just ok for the price. Go on a monday night instead for pub trivia & some of the best mac & cheese in town! Ask if the buffalo chicken version is available.
Carlie CopelandOctober 11, 2021
This place is Cheers in real life. Super friendly bartenders. French toast is great

Pretty good brunch and not too expensive. Super dog friendly so sit outside with your pup!
Matthew SpectorFebruary 15, 2015
A brunch stunner. Chocolate muffins on the table for the "bread" course and phenomenal huevos rancheros.
Lisa LAugust 30, 2014
Get the sangria, extra boozy. A fantastic brunch option.
Crystal HermosilloSeptember 20, 2011
Everything I've had here is great! Lobster pasta, Penne pesto pasta, steak, Mac n cheese!! Don't forget to try the brownie dessert!

Quality Brunch and stay for the manmosas! If you do not know what those are, then try one!
SabrinaJune 21, 2015
Brunch food is a little underwhelming as is the Bloody Mary. But worth the trip if you can get a patio seat.
Simply RubiaApril 7, 2013
Super friendly staff, dogs are welcomed and that's a big plus ! Food is awesome as well! Enjoy!
Idit Duvdevany AronsohnDecember 8, 2018
Meat loaf & mac and cheese were delicious. Service was amazing, very kid friendly
David BerkowitzNovember 21, 2011
If they have the buffalo chicken mac & cheese as a special, don't look at anything else on the menu. That's your dish, and it's a great one.
Natalie SheltonJune 5, 2012
Incredible service! Goldfish at the bar was a huge plus for me. Fun atmosphere! Going back is certain for my family and I.

Oatmeal, Niçoise salad, Chicken sandwich - perfect brunch spot

If you like dogs, you have to see Fred's. Every inch of wall space is covered with framed photos of customers' dogs.
