Emily WilsonJune 27, 2016The ships biscuit (soft scrambled eggs and ricotta on Saltie's stellar focaccia) is one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. If you love Greek salad, the scuttlebutt is your calling.
I eat here at least once a week. They have stepped up their specials game so that has kept me coming back and trying new things weekly like okonomiyaki, cold noodles and lentil soup
Village VoiceJune 9, 2014Try the Clean Slate - a dish that takes warm naan, loads it with garlicky hummus, heaps it with fluffy bulghur wheat and tart pickled veggies, & drizzles it with a refreshing yogurt sauce. Read more
Alex RainertJune 11, 2015Some of the most interesting sandwiches I've seen in a while, all made with fresh tasty ingredients. This whitefish salad on fresh focaccia leapt into my Sando Hall of Fame.
Rubén GarcíaApril 24, 2017I had "the big Italian" sandwich and it was really tasty, and the focaccia was to die for
jessica m. hintermeisterJuly 16, 2013The Clean Slate - Warm housemade naan is warmed and smothered with hummus, quinoa, and matchstick-cut pickled beets. To finish, yogurt, a handful of shaved fennel, parsley and toasted sesame seeds.
emily chenOctober 19, 2014The most satisfying, unique sandwiches on fluffy foccacia bread. Can't go wrong with Captain's Daughter, Scuttlebutt or the Balmy. Try them all.
- EaterJuly 18, 2017Every imaginable bread and baked good makes Saltie a step above the average sandwich shop and cafe.
NakishaJanuary 21, 2013The "Scuttlebutt" sandwhich is good but if they have the Kedgeree bowl special (salt cod, saffron rice, hb egg, yogurt sauce, chutney) going on DO IT! Yum!
JeffreyJuly 13, 2014There’s the pickle-palooza Scuttlebutt, the Clean Slate, an open-faced Middle Eastern kitchen sink, all housebaked focaccia and chewy naan; bright, piquant dressings; and flurries of fresh herbs.
Danith YongNovember 2, 2013A tiny restaurant but the sandwiches there are definetely a must-try. Very yummy and all the ingredients are fresh/organic. ~10$ for a sandwich
- Eric LanehartDecember 8, 2016The revamped Big Italian is some next level sandwich. Whoever decided to drop that squash on it and add chili to the cornichon butter is a GENIUS! 🇮🇹
Annie BullerMarch 2, 2015Thursday-Saturday 6:30-10:30 it becomes Mr Curry and man is it excellent. Veggie curry is satisfying with a little kick & the meatballs are nice and spicy.
Justin DeanAugust 11, 2014Scuttlebutt is default perfect sandwich. Turmeric tonic and pastries are refreshing. $ 4 $ best food in Williamsburg if you like well seasoned, considered sandwiches.
Follow their Twitter account @saltiebk to keep up with daily specials. (Or, you can just follow everyone's advice that's already here and get the scuttlebutt)
Leo N-BAugust 23, 2015Someone said the Scuttlebutt is the best sandwich they've ever had and I kinda have to agree. It doesn't go well together with their ice tea though, so get something else to drink.
Focaccia Bread = Heaven. I'm partial to the Ship's Biscuit, but always consider the daily specials.
I'm hard pressed to day which is best: the Ship's Biscuit, the muffin, the cock-a-leekie soup, or the quasi-grouchy sense of family.
John XieApril 26, 2014The balmy is like the quaint New England-seaside-town version of a bahn mi. I could eat this everyday and not get tired of it
The Corcoran GroupSeptember 19, 2011Some of the best and most decadent sandwiches around – Definitely get the Scuttlebutt or the Romaine Dinghy – the salad sandwich, when it’s being available.
- Nick PatrickMarch 8, 2015Captain's Daughter (sardines, pickled eggs, capers on foccacia) is delicious, beautiful, and unlike any other sandwich I've ever eaten.
This weeks sandwich is the "beach coma" — fried lemon zucchini + thick cut bacon + tartar sauce on the focaccia. Bonkers amazing.
- The Corcoran GroupSeptember 12, 2013Come here for breakfast and get the Ship's Biscuit - it'll change the way you think about cheese in your breakfast sandwich!
Staff PicksOctober 17, 2014Saltie stays open late and morphs into Mr. Curry after 6:30pm Thursdays - Saturdays. Rebecca Collerton is an Indian-food fiend, and has been cooking pop-up dinners under this alter ego. Read more
Michael 🍷 ElmgreenJanuary 23, 2015Homemade sea salt focaccia is perfectly chewy/crispy. Try and hunt down the BLT in Summer, Balmy or Captain's Daughter all other times.
AmateurConciergeMay 26, 2015Great vegetarian options, but Saltie now has a few meat and fish offerings and specials scattered in. Nothing beats the messy Scuttlebutt, though
Mike McBryanJune 8, 2015Clean Slate. Vegetarian, but so filling and delicious. Amazing buttery naan filled with spread and pickled veggies.
AskMenJune 25, 2010Try the ocean-themed sandwiches, a sampling of which includes: The Captain’s Daughter, Little Chef & Ships Biscuit with soft scrambled egg & ricotta. Don't miss the pastries & homemade ice creams.
P. StreiffNovember 9, 2013Get here before or after the lunch rush. People tend to forget it's a small place and there's limited seating, so they continue to occupy space when they've finished eating.
The New York TimesMay 6, 2010The vegetarian Clean Slate is as vibrant as it is hefty — it’s fearless, if a sandwich can be such a thing. The ice cream sandwiches are equally rich and delicious; order both and share with a friend. Read more
Real Cheap EatsNovember 15, 2011"With just three vegetarian ingredients—ultra-creamy ricotta, loosely scrambled eggs, and salt-studded, homemade foccacia—the Ships Biscuit ($9) will satisfy even avowed carnivores." Read more
Ship's Biscuit is my favorite sandwich of all time. The ingredients may sound strange, but that's only because Saltie is operating on a higher plane of sandwich consciousness.- Village VoiceAugust 13, 2010Captain's Daughter: first and foremost a sardine sandwich. It uses an entire tin of the little fish, burying them underneath a pile of scallions, pickled eggs, capers, and the aforementioned herb
Le LoDecember 22, 2014Best sandwich in town. But make sure you have an appetite. Personal favorite: the Scuttlebutt
I can't get enough of the Captain's Daughter. The focaccia that they use in their sandwiches is addictive.
Adam MayMarch 19, 2016Goddamn these sandwiches. A little in the salty side but they make me ok with eating a meatless sandwich. Huge compliment.
David PacklesSeptember 28, 2012Clean Slate is delicious. Thought if you're not that into mint, ask them to go light.
- Sam SeDecember 1, 2013Tumeric tonic is refreshingly tasty. And any sandwich is delicious, healthy and filling.
If you've ever been like "why the hell can't i just get a sandwich that is literally just soft-scrambled egg and cheese with a delicious bread wrapping" my friend, welcome to Saltie
