Khalifa Al FalasiAugust 22, 2014Went to compare the service between both US & Dubai branches , sorry NY we set high standards 😉
Mommy ShortsJanuary 2, 2011The wait for the weekend brunch is too long for a kid, but if you can swing it, go for lunch on a weekday. Their famous pancakes are served at all hours. Banana is best.
Vivian VoApril 12, 2015sugared bacon omg. Get here right when they open and the wait was only 30 min.
Kristin DePlatchettApril 11, 2011Amazing brunch. Great pancakes, french toast and omelettes. Expect at least an hour's wait on the weekend mornings...
Order a plate of blueberry pancakes for the table and a biscuit for the table. Get eggs with bacon and other deliciousness and you will be sad when the meal is over.
Lauren OosterlinckMay 7, 2010grits and pancakes are perfection. buut don't ask for extra syrup - they don't give you enough in the first place - lest you're prepared to pay an additional 2 bucks! shakes aren't the best-still love
Njoud FahadNovember 30, 2018I don’t understand why everyone is going crazy about this place! I tried the French toast and didn’t like it at all !!!
Jackie PoliMarch 7, 2014Believe the hype. But don't believe the description when it tells you credit cards are accepted. Cash only!
Barton SmithApril 30, 2017So it wasn't bad food but it's not worthy of the #1 breakfast spot in NYC and definitely not worth the wait. Unfortunately most dishes were bland, including the blueberry pancakes and fried chicken.
Stephen YangDecember 21, 2012They give you mini pancakes while you wait to be seated. Winner winner chicken dinner.
Definitely take advantage of February's pancake month! But their banana walnut pancakes are equally delicious. Hands down, best in NYC.
Try the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich - This chicken sandwich is the truth! Get it for brunch instead of dinner though
Kate 💎 KolendaMarch 10, 2019The grits lacked a lot of (any?) salt and had too much corn starch. Top of biscuit came drowned in tomato sauce (“jam,” but lol). Cash-only during the day but they don’t have an ATM. No thanks.
Jenina S.September 3, 2012Duh to the pancakes, but try the spinach cheddar muffin while you wait! Delicious.- B SJune 26, 2018Hashbrown had no taste besides oil. Scones didn't really taste like anything, either. Pancakes were just fine. I wanted to like it, but I was left wondering why this is ranked #1 for LES breakfast.
Athena ChangMay 10, 2012Try the Blueberry Pancakes - Their Maple butter goes perfectly with blueberry pancakes!
Soma AsapuMarch 2, 2012don't care if you get the beloved blueberry pancakes or not, but the must have here is the SUGAR-CURED BACON!

Alie JimenezFebruary 23, 2014Maine blueberry pancakes are incredible. Skip the Spanish scramble, not really much flavor there.- ALMay 13, 2014Be wise how you ration the warm maple butter, there is a $2 charge for it if you want more.
Ronald WidhaOctober 21, 2016The chicken and waffle isn't what it's cracked up to be. Go Jacob's pickles instead

Angela GlassSeptember 17, 2010Go early; it's tiny and always a wait, but so worth it for comfort food. Everything on the menu is recommended!
Thompson HotelsNovember 17, 2011Expect an extensive line for seating at this tiny, unique breakfast Mecca. It’s worth the wait.

"The must do, legendary pastrami sandwich joint of NYC. Rueben or the classic with pastrami instead or corned beef is the way to go. It’s huge! ideally share one between two. 10/10."
