Try one of the best brunches in the neighborhood, baking fluffy Buttermilk Biscuits, whipping up hearty omelettes and constructing the most delicious salad of all time: the House Smoked Salmon. Read more

Sit at the bar, Chat with Dave (Look for the beard, you can't miss him), and have a great time and some excellent cocktails. The scotch egg and summer ravioli are not to be missed.

Rye makes a mean cheeseburger and from 5:30 to 7pm daily that baby can be yours for just $5-plus, Rye's very booze heavy old Fashioneds run only $5, too. Sadly, the deal is only available at the bar. Read more

The duck rillette, brussels sprouts, and short rib are among my favorites. Go to spot for rich foodie comfort food. Winter time must for dinner and/or brunch. In my top 5 for Williamsburg eateries.

Start with an Old Fashioned. Make sure you order Oysters as an appetizer. Make it a full dozen. And for mains; there is no way you should miss the meatloaf sandwich. I loved this place.
Stina P.January 18, 2014
a place where the straws are made from paper and every table has a different salt and pepper shaker set. the meatloaf sandwich is a delight. so are the homemade doughnuts. such a neighborhood gem!
Sara StatesDecember 23, 2013
Had the infamous old fashioned, endive and pear salad, and the ravioli. It was a solid meal. Next time I'll have to try the meatloaf sandwich. Side note:how do they get the bathrooms to smell so good?

Weekday happy hour that’s available form 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Here, five dollars will get you an old fashioned made with Old Overholt rye; and five more will get you a cheeseburger.

For a decadent, hollandaise-drizzled brunch head to this Williamsburg restaurant, where the deceptively healthy-sounding House Smoked Salmon salad stars as a main attractive. Read more

$5 cheeseburger and $5 old fashioned during happy hour! Also get the Brussels sprouts with pecorino, bacon, capers, and lemon vinaigrette.
DamonJanuary 7, 2013
Great brunch, great cocktails. The meatloaf sandwich is amazing but huge, save half for later. If you're there with a few friends, get a carafe of barrel-aged old fashioned cocktails.
Michelle LuMarch 10, 2013
Had the southside cocktail, which was pretty tasty. The fried brussel sprouts hit the spot and the scallops and pork belly was probably the best entree I've had in a long time.

Great cocktails, excellent, hearty food in a romantic, pared down setting. It's a major win for the area. Make sure to try the meatloaf sandwich, the duck, the Old Fashioned. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Great menu, the quality of the ingredients is beautiful. Definitely stop by. However the cocktails'list lacks originality. But overall a must go

The cocktails here are particularly excellent and we love the sophisticated comfort food (everyone raves about the meatloaf sandwich). Read more

Blue plate specials for $15 monday - wednesday. Had an i credible cassoulet for two here recently, but the meatloaf sandwich and their old fashioned are the classics.
Alia Ormut-FleishmanJanuary 21, 2015
Get the Mac and cheese and bacon-y Brussel sprouts for some seriously decadent appetizers. Great spot for a fancy dinner in the hood.

To know: Rye sells this burger, made with two 3-ounce patties, only during Happy Hour from 5:30 - 7 p.m., Monday - Friday. Read more

We had cocktails there and they were amazing. Classic old fashioned and the one with grenadine are highly recommended !
Rolling FoxJune 23, 2016
Absolutely riveting decor and service with a hearty menu that never disappoints. If nothing else check out the the happy hour burger and old fashioned special weekdays.
Samantha JoDecember 29, 2014
Shared the Mac & Cheese, Pork Belly, and Roast Chicken.. All the food was delicious but service could have been better the hostest (maybe she was a manager or something?) was not welcoming or kind

Awesome meatloaf. Awesome Brussel sprouts. Awesome scallops and pork belly. Awesome old fashioned's. All with my awesome girlfriend.

With a beautiful dark interior, tin ceilings, and true wood bar, it didn't take much to get Rye ready to serve as a Chicago speakeasy in season 1 of HBO's Boardwalk Empire.
Jessie TettemerJune 10, 2012
For brunch get the omelet: egg whites with goat cheese and spinach. It's like a goat cheese and spinach cloud of perfection. I want it again, right now.
Rebecca YiJuly 11, 2016
Go to happy hr spot! $5 old fashioned and cheeseburgers? Brussels sprouts are amazing. Dinner entrees are excellent as well - def get the pork belly.
Flynn M.August 6, 2013
If you want sweet and savory, get the slam. The back has a great use of books for quaint private date spots. Love!
Anuj MathurJanuary 18, 2015
The default rye for an old fashioned is old overholt -- a little spicy, a little sweet. A nice block of ice to keep it cold.
Thomas StroblOctober 5, 2014
Right at the door you are welcomed as if you were a relative. Calm, smooth atmosphere and very good food. The short ribs were godly.
Supercat 27February 6, 2015
Those with a sweet-tooth should try the Chocolate cake with pistachio ice-cream
Bitches Who BrunchOctober 16, 2015
The Bitches say B. A cute neighborhood spot with solid brunch options. Our entrees were well executed, but left something to be desired from all of the hype. Read more
Michelle SJanuary 13, 2013
Food is terrific! The brussel sprouts are a must order. Yes, probably one of the best Old Fashioned cocktails I've ever had. Do it!
OutwithBabyOctober 26, 2015
It speaks to the food quality that multiple people with babies / toddlers, myself included, we're having dinner here despite them not providing high chairs. The staff was surprisingly baby friendly.
Francesca CastelliMarch 26, 2015
Had brunch and dinner here, highly recommend both.. Also is not crazy packed and prices are decent for what you get a rarity in billyburg lately
Nikolas FlorosOctober 18, 2014
Great place to stop for cocktails and brunch. Get the retox if you want a mild salty sweet tequila drink.
Cliktrips (Jen Amadio)April 25, 2011
New spot with an old school feel. Dark wood interior, traditional cocktail menu and really good hearty food. I loved the grilled ham and cheese for brunch.
Evan BartlettMarch 26, 2013
Amazing meatloaf, strong coffee, great brunch on a cold wintery day
JJ KasperJuly 5, 2015
Favorite date spot in all of NYC. Great food, intimate setting, value for $$$
RachelJuly 24, 2011
You have to get the meatloaf sandwich at least once. Their crème brûlée is also excellent. Obviously they have a great whiskey selection so branch out!
Michael DempseyOctober 29, 2013
Been here 5+ times
$5 burgers and old fashioneds during happy hour. Both are amazing.
Solène MaîtreOctober 20, 2014

Whiskey cocktails, meatloaf sandwich and cauliflower gratin are all delicious.

'Grilled' Ceviche? done. Duck, medium? done. this is a good, good meal.
Mike ChauNovember 25, 2012
Try the Donuts - Home made cake donuts. These are incredible. Piping hot with a nice crispy outside.
Jason SchafferJanuary 5, 2016
One of the best happy hours in Williamsburg - $5 burgers and $5 old fashions!
Lisa GrowDecember 4, 2011
You can add alcohol to the teetotaler drinks. The Dylan Temple (ginger ale, homemade grenadine, fresh ginger) is delicious with vodka.
Frank DieboldDecember 23, 2014
Brussel sprouts are a must. Also, make sure to immediately reserve the duck leg
Kate MalayMarch 22, 2010
Believe the meatloaf hype. It will undo every bad childhood memory of dry loafs concealing leftovers. My mom even said it was the best she's ever had. That says a lot--she's made a lot of meatloaf!
Elizabeth GoetzOctober 18, 2015
Rye Benedict was super fantastic! Pork belly melting in my mouth!
