Littered with teddy bears with popovers the size of an ostrich egg, this place is memorable not just for brunch, but forever. The pop art sandwich is made of dreams.

Damn! Worth the trip - and I came from Murray Hill. I can't describe a Popover and I can't decide a Flopover, but both were amazing! Service could be a little faster. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

My favorite place in Manhattan! The popovers are huge and taste great! They come straight from the oven and are served with strawberry butter. It's a small place, but food and staff are great!

Aegean omelette is out of this world. And the popovers really are everything! With strawberry butter... Mmmmm

Amazing popovers-- never disappointed with the food at popovers. Salads, breakfast and fish are all great choices!

They give you this fresh hot popover but the strawberry spread they give you is frozen rock hard! Wth... how do you spread this?! Wish they'd whip they spread before they give it you, but its prepackd

Cranberry bacon cheddar omlette is excellent. Ask them to bring the popover at the same time so it's still hot when you get your food.

Try the Eggs Popeye - one of my favorite dishes in the world and unique to this place.

Eat in the back room. It has ac! Also the French toast with coconut and almonds is ridiculously good!

Don't forget to ask for Apple Butter w/ your popover. Great flavor and all natural!

The whole thing's a bit on the expensive side for a diner. However the lump crab omlette is great. Served with a popover.

I heard the popovers are made from angels wings and unicorn horns and kitten tears. Im not sure if its true, but they sure do taste yummy.

Get an omelette and stuff it inside a popover. You can thank me later.

The popeye is like a party in itself! Get here early on the weekends.

Don't get the health omelette! Seriously not worth the saved calories. Go for broke and get something with gruyere or some other kind of creamy cheesy deliciousness. Also go here if you like horseradi

Our corned beef hash was burnt... No flavor at all. Try the eggs Benedict i heard it was better.

popovers are good, not great. lattes are dismal. there are better brunch options in the area such as isabella's and sarabeths.
Linda KundellJanuary 27, 2012
Try the chocolate mousse. Really good.

Cheese grits are very worth the possible heart attack

Long lines. But the pop overs with strawberry butter are worth it.

Try the turkey melt w/ apples... Very tasty!
David BillottiMarch 20, 2010
Essentially an upscale diner with a gimmick. The food is fine, the namesakes pretty good. Not a destination, but a solid choice if you're nearby.

Try the Popovers with Strawberry Butter

The kobe corn beef hash is very delicious!

Delicious food and nice waiters

This place use to make an amazing Chicken "Pop" Pie... And then they got a new chef... Who really should go back to culinary school. Very disappointed.
Mathilde PanagetMarch 19, 2013
Really good burgers
Jamay LiuJanuary 30, 2010
Order the apple butter- it's better than the strawberry jam
Alex GordonJune 27, 2010
Popovers are fluffy, crispy pastry clouds of heaven.

Most of the tables at the popover cafe are pretty small so don't try to come with a large party.
Allison CramerAugust 23, 2011
Incredible cheese grits.
Charles WangSeptember 22, 2013
Not a friendly restaurant with baby, large party .. An hour wait? Really.... Food and service are horrible.

Kobe corned beef hash!
Ethan FriedmanSeptember 1, 2012
Overrated. And reeks of egg. I loathe their popovers. But the pancakes aren't terrible.
Howard FreemanMay 23, 2014
Shut down.
Anahi DAugust 26, 2011
The food is mediocre at best. I'd rather save my money and go to a diner. Beware of any Southern inspired dishes. Yuck.

Ok. Not Hour Wait Good though.
Christina HenslerDecember 31, 2010
Mediocre food and poor service. Skip it.
