Veggie Burger is excellent (almost tastes like a falafel). So are the fries that come with it. Definitely get the mini growler if you're in for more than 1 beer.

Get the extra-gooey choco chip cookie (technically meant for two-to-four people, but who's counting) which is baked-to-order in a cast iron skillet and served with a full jug of icy cold milk. Read more

Great ambiance and location. Try the Fish Tacos - pan seared mahi mahi tuna, pickled red onion, radish, avocado, kale, chipotle aioli, tomatillo salsa. Rich, satisfying, mouth watering, delectable!

Everything on the menu was really good & had a great portion-size - also good for sharing. 😏😁 It gets pretty noisy at times but let’s be honest, who comes to NYC for a bit of quiet time!? 🤷🏻‍♂️😁

Strong brunch spot. Steak and Eggs was great, perfect amount of food. Good cocktails in here too, flip the brunch menu for their full list.

In brunch heaven: Amazing savory selections (e.g., huevos rancheros, egg/chorizo tacos, Texan eggs benedict, etc.) + $5 brunch cocktails = drunch done right!

Quinoa and kale salad was more quinoa but crisped and with tasty dressing, avocado and butternut squash $13, add roasted salmon done to your liking $7. Loud on Friday night at 8pm.

Great $5 rosé during happy hour and their apps are $3. Awesome deal. Sit in the big L shaped table in the window and soak up the sun and the LES people watching.

The burger here is amazing and cooked perfectly! They have their own house made beef blend on a brioche bun topped with cheddar cheese, a fried egg, and delicious cubed bacon.
Kyle TuckMarch 16, 2013
Never trust a coffee addict from CA. But do have the Brick Chicken with bacon/Brussels mashed potatoes and I challenge you to eat the best pickled items on the LES! Staff is so much fun!

Love this place for dinner or brunch. Great cocktails. Try the eggplant or short rib benedicts with a Bloody Mary. They take reservations and have tv's for games. Sounds like a win.

This is a bacon wrapped date stuffed with blue cheese. There's only one because the other three were devoured in pure ecstasy before we could even think about it. It will blow your mind.

Pair hearty bites like duck confit queso and brats in a blanket with Prohibition-inspired tipples like the Fifty-Mission Cap, as you wish a very Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night. Read more

Burgers, Rosemary Fries, Habanero Pineapple pickles, Fish Tacos, Mussels, Brownie Batter dessert -- never had a bad meal here. Our favorite restaurant in the neighborhood by far. Go and don't be shy!

Definitely a go-to in the EV of A. Want a crazy night? Get a couple pickle backs, my favorite is the beet one! I also love their gin cocktail that's named Deviation. Recipe for an amazing night!

I’m always shocked to see this place rated under an 8. It’s such a staple for me. It’s definitely bar food, but done right! And they have a great laid back but high energy ambiance.

New. Ambiance? Materials salvaged from factories decorate this industrial-style pub Size? 130-seat Taste? Short-rib and bone marrow toast, chicken potpie and duck confit carbonara Read more
Mia AJune 20, 2016
Really cool space with great food. Get the Rosemary fries- probably the best I've had in New York.
L. T.February 26, 2015
Between my friend and I, we tried almost all of the appetizers. You cannot go wrong. Good beer selection and the cocktails are amazing. Get in before 7 for half-off happy hour.
The Wall Street JournalFebruary 21, 2013
Particularly creative are the small house-made jars of pickles, including okra with garlic and caraway seeds and Brussels sprouts with garlic and dill ($5 a jar, or $15 for three). Read more
Nicole FormicaSeptember 12, 2014
Great brunch!! Many different styles of Eggs Benedict, French toast and frittatas in skillets. Wash it all down with a $5 brunch cocktail
Briana Lopez-TascarellaMarch 10, 2013
Amazing French fries and friendly bartenders in this sunny space. Will return for sure to try more of the menu. Prices are great and I love the glass/carafe/bottle option on the wines.

Lots of pretty people visit this place. Great layout and design. Whenever the food comes by on its way to a table, it smells amazing with so many different aromas.

Perfect place to spend all day for NFL Sunday. Starting out with brunch, then switch over to beer & cocktails. Cool look inside. Even better when weather is nice (Windows are opened)
Colleen SheaApril 16, 2017
Great, decently priced bar food and fun happy hour atmosphere! The rock shrimp lettuce wraps are 👌🏻
DensMarch 29, 2017
Great seats near the window / great people watching spot... so-so cocktails. Remember if the stools are too low, spin 'em to make 'em taller!
Matt GMarch 12, 2020
Good place to grab a bite to eat and drink. A bit pricey for what it is (bar food) and not necessarily worth it at times. But the atmosphere and dining is good enough to come back
Jennifer OmApril 19, 2013
Big uptick from otherwise disappointing Houston St.. Chx pot pie, pickled veg and cookie are might tasty. Portions a bit big but who's complaining?! If they keep menu seasonally driven it's a winner!
Avneesh KohliOctober 1, 2018
This place has just the right amount of electricity to make dinner fun, but not so loud you can’t hear anything. Burger and fries are great.
Alyxa LeaseAugust 8, 2014
Come hungry because pretty much everything is great. The cookie and Mac and cheese is killer tho
Elizabeth BursteinJanuary 6, 2017
Good comfort food, yummy chicken pot pie and butternut squash ravioli. Also good IPA
Gianna NebbiaJuly 12, 2019
One of my favorite places in the city. Great brunch menu with 7$ brunch drinks. Food’s high quality and very reasonable. Lively atmosphere
Escape CardonaJanuary 15, 2017
Awesome spot for drinks with friends. Their chicken sliders and mac n cheese are a must. 👍🏽

Sautéed spinach Benedict was amazing! If dinner. The black angus chicken is incredible. To be the first to write about cider. Screw magnet. Go for the angry orchard.
Sleepy BrowneJuly 8, 2016
The artichoke and Kale Fondue And the Amish Chicken and the Steak Frites were all great.
Nicolette RomeroJanuary 27, 2015
Hipster central! Great $5 Bloody Mary specials during brunch. The guac, mac and cheese and cookies and milk dessert are a must!!
Nicole ReganJuly 9, 2018
Fun, cozy atmosphere, great for groups. Very loud when they close the windows though. Might not happen if the windows have been closed he whole night, but closing them midway through made it loud.
Jason BrewOctober 10, 2015
The burger was very good and the craft beer selection is solid. On the bar/restaurant scale I would say this place leans more bar

Great cocktails, food & service. You have to try the picklebacks here, they create their own pickles here so they have different flavor a
Behrad EatsJuly 8, 2015
The Mac & Cheese here is our of this world! Made with white cheddar, persillade bread crumbs, and your choice of adding wild mushrooms or bacon.
Allie GoodchildFebruary 7, 2015
This place is great all around, but if you leave without getting the warm cookie and milk you are making a huge mistake.
Rachel IvyMarch 29, 2016
Awesome roomy atmosphere, good cocktails, solid beer selection, and yummy bar food. Awesome place to chill and start the night.
Andrew ChoiJanuary 13, 2014
Nice spot. Feels like a MUCH classier 13th Step (clientele included). Drinks were good. Not necessarily where you'd wanna end your night though..
Loryn SimonsenOctober 5, 2013
The bartender was not overly friendly, but I enjoyed the Mexican Revolver - jalapeno tequila, lime, agave, and prosecco. A good spot to grab one drink on your way elsewhere!
PureWowFebruary 23, 2016
Other desserts need not apply. The cast iron cookie and milk at Boulton & Watt is our main guy from now on. Read more
Sam BrownApril 27, 2015
Definitely, Trust The Serpent. This cocktail is complex but delicious, rye apple-y bitters. It's a gem.
Audrey KrassnitzerMarch 8, 2015
Creative Benedicts. Very rich food. And -- cookie skillet? Get it to share, it's a treat. Slow service, tho...
Rachel SheppardSeptember 12, 2014
Straight up the best fries I've ever had, great veggie burger with quinoa in it, and an amazing whiskey collection.
Behrad EatsJuly 8, 2015
The Oatmeal Buttermilk Pancakes are some of the best you'll have. Fresh raspberries, robiola cheese, and orange maple butter.
Kaitlyn PezikMay 10, 2015
my roommate recommended this place and I was definitely pleased. the drinks are great, will definitely go back to try the food!
