Nicholas DoyleAugust 21, 2014Sit 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.
Genco Orkun GencJuly 2, 2015Start 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, 2014a 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!
RJ DuganSeptember 5, 2013The 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.
Sara StatesDecember 23, 2013Had 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?
Kat CApril 30, 2016$5 cheeseburger and $5 old fashioned during happy hour! Also get the Brussels sprouts with pecorino, bacon, capers, and lemon vinaigrette.
Michael 🍷 ElmgreenMay 20, 2017Blue 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.
DamonJanuary 7, 2013Great 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.
Rebecca YiJuly 11, 2016Go to happy hr spot! $5 old fashioned and cheeseburgers? Brussels sprouts are amazing. Dinner entrees are excellent as well - def get the pork belly.
Caitlin ClementsMay 7, 2017Weekday 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.
Bitches Who BrunchOctober 16, 2015The 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
Masha KacedanSeptember 7, 2016Great menu, the quality of the ingredients is beautiful. Definitely stop by. However the cocktails'list lacks originality. But overall a must go
Samantha JoDecember 29, 2014Shared 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
Anuj MathurJanuary 18, 2015The default rye for an old fashioned is old overholt -- a little spicy, a little sweet. A nice block of ice to keep it cold.
Michelle LuMarch 10, 2013Had 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.
Movie MayorNovember 8, 2012With 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.
Alia Ormut-FleishmanJanuary 21, 2015Get the Mac and cheese and bacon-y Brussel sprouts for some seriously decadent appetizers. Great spot for a fancy dinner in the hood.
OutwithBabyOctober 26, 2015It 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.- EmmaJanuary 10, 2016We had cocktails there and they were amazing. Classic old fashioned and the one with grenadine are highly recommended !
Supercat 27February 6, 2015Those with a sweet-tooth should try the Chocolate cake with pistachio ice-cream
- Rolling FoxJune 23, 2016Absolutely 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.
Jessie TettemerJune 10, 2012For 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.
Flynn M.August 6, 2013If you want sweet and savory, get the slam. The back has a great use of books for quaint private date spots. Love!
Francesca CastelliMarch 26, 2015Had 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
Thomas StroblOctober 5, 2014Right at the door you are welcomed as if you were a relative. Calm, smooth atmosphere and very good food. The short ribs were godly.
Michelle SJanuary 13, 2013Food is terrific! The brussel sprouts are a must order. Yes, probably one of the best Old Fashioned cocktails I've ever had. Do it!
Nikolas FlorosOctober 18, 2014Great place to stop for cocktails and brunch. Get the retox if you want a mild salty sweet tequila drink.
Cliktrips (Jen Amadio)April 25, 2011New 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.
RachelJuly 24, 2011You 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!
$5 burgers and old fashioneds during happy hour. Both are amazing.- Frank DieboldDecember 23, 2014Brussel sprouts are a must. Also, make sure to immediately reserve the duck leg
Connor MontgomeryJanuary 16, 2016Whiskey cocktails, meatloaf sandwich and cauliflower gratin are all delicious.
theSameGuyNovember 4, 2013Awesome meatloaf. Awesome Brussel sprouts. Awesome scallops and pork belly. Awesome old fashioned's. All with my awesome girlfriend.
Lisa GrowDecember 4, 2011You can add alcohol to the teetotaler drinks. The Dylan Temple (ginger ale, homemade grenadine, fresh ginger) is delicious with vodka.- Beni ChhunMarch 11, 2014Love this place. Nice people, delicious Mac and cheese. Good wine choices and.cocktails
Mike ChauNovember 25, 2012Try the Donuts - Home made cake donuts. These are incredible. Piping hot with a nice crispy outside.
Youngna ParkAugust 16, 2012$6 for a generous basket of beautiful fried to-order cinnamon-y cake doughnuts with hot caramel dipping sauce. Bling.
Go with a friend - one of you order the meatloaf sandwich, and the other get the braised shortrib sandwich. Cut each in half and share. Yum! Get a side of mac 'n cheese to share as well...
Graham VoslooFebruary 9, 2018Happy hour: $6 old fashioned’a at the bar before you even order them 💁♂️ hh cheese burger was tasty but a bit small
