Christine GrahamSeptember 19, 2015Lemon ricotta pancakes are unreal! Delicious food at great prices.
coughsodaOctober 28, 2014pretty good if you want a sweet meal. the vanilla egg cream soda is amazing
Louis MattaSeptember 1, 2014Crazy good breakfast and diner food. Beware of long lines. Worth the wait.
Andrea S.August 5, 2010Fantastic. The staff is super friendly, the food is great, and it has great vibe. Bonus: They bring out food while you wait in line.
Sadie SteinApril 22, 2010The friendliest place in NYC! The food is fairly standard good-diner, but the neighborhood feel and lovely staff are worth a special trip. It feels good to support this institution.
If you're like me and pancakes don't do it for you, the huevos rancheros are life changing. That is not an exaggeration.
Larisa GrollemondJuly 26, 2016The vibe here is old school diner, first come first served for brunch and it gets crazy. The pancakes are decent but probably not worth the wait.
Arturo Salgado AntúnezJanuary 2, 2015Eat as much as you can! Anything that you order will exceed your expectations!
Stijn Vandenbussche NowforeverOctober 3, 2018tasteful. did not eat anything yet that was not ok. quality vs price is superb and you get refills.
Pork & beef sausage with spicy sauce is amazing. The different flavor home made butters are delicious too.
Amar MNovember 19, 2012Came in after 3pm on a Sunday, and there was no line, and we were promptly seated. I recommend the same!
Do yourself (and your friends) a favor and order some lemon ricotta pancakes for the table.
The sweet potato pancakes with strawberries are delish.
Food was excellent! Not a long wait, even on the weekends!
Joo JooApril 30, 2015I like their pancakes and fries. But I don't think It's worth waiting for 2 hours. Also the black girl waitress there is borderline slow and pretty rude.
Justin HilemanJanuary 15, 2011Huevos rancheros are amazing, but they mean you'll miss out on the pancakes. Make sure to steal a few bites from your friends.
Julie G NarzJune 14, 2016Service was very slow & there were very few customers. I ordered a Turkey BLT and they gave me a Turkey Bacon LT. Took 15 minutes to get an iced tea.
