Anna FrenkelJanuary 25, 2014For the love of God, get the strawberry butter! One of the best things I've ever had. Pancakes are fluffy and light & the sugar cured bacon is amazing. I want to cry because this meal is so good.
Bitches Who BrunchMarch 7, 2017These seasonal blueberry pancakes, served with fresh maple syrup and strawberry butter, were so fluffy and delicious! The blueberries were so refreshing and tasted fresh off the farm. Read more
Try the Wall Street omelette for a sweet ham and cheese combo - remember to tell them to firm up the eggs as default is "runny". Swap biscuits for toast to keep it traditional.
Best breakfast place in NYC. Everything is fresh and feels homemade. I’ve been coming here for years and it never let me down... Yummy! 😋
Cagla IcacanFebruary 20, 2018This is my favorite breakfast spot so far! It was really nice of them to offer little bites while we were waiting to be seated. (and it was only 10 min) :) The pancakes are to die for! I'll be back!
Carlee M.January 20, 2014Had delicious banana walnut pancakes with strawberry butter and a fabulous Bloody Mary with sugar cured bacon. Can't wait to go back for some biscuits and the the Astoria omelette. Two thumbs up!
Wesley TunisonJuly 21, 2015Specials are amazing but do your best to save room for their great desserts. Obviously one of the most popular brunch spots in the city so give yourself 30+ mins & good friends to wait for a table.
Garrett BaileyApril 15, 2017Fantastic pancakes, multigrain w/walnuts and bananas, perfectly balanced in weight and air, real maple syrup. Homemade cakes looked great but a little disappointing, but highly recommend for breakfast
Carina 💖October 10, 2014We stayed in line to get in around 40 minutes. But it was worth it as we had the best breakfast ever. We went there twice and I will definitely go again on my next visit to NYC!
Samantha RaffaDecember 10, 2018Tried the seasonal blueberry pancakes that everyone raves about and they were extremely good! Unfortunately one of my pancakes was really undercooked but hey, everyone makes mistakes. Friendly staff!
DailyCandyFebruary 4, 2013The little eatery, ideal for coffee and a light bite or a full breakfast any day of the week, feels more like Vermont than Manhattan. Read more
Rj SaloomeyMarch 5, 2014Fanatastic meal all around. Pancakes, waffles, turkey hash, apple/ched omlette, BLT omlette, lattes, bloody marys with bacon and the farmhouse breakfast. Slamming!! Thick cut delicious BACON!!
Julie SosciaAugust 1, 2018Large portions, so come with an empty stomach. Arrive early on weekends, as there are lines for brunch. Very mom and pop vibe, expect comfort food.
ImSo_BrooklynNovember 24, 2015Breakfast food! The French toast is delicious! Coffee is great. Outside seating! Full bar. Bartender made one of the best old fashioned's I've ever had! Great place!
Adil IbrahimJuly 4, 2014Ordered the tuna melt, and the veggie burger + onion rings & corn bread. Tuna melt & veggie burger were a bit on the bland side. The corn bread on the other hand was one of the best we've ever had!
I can't say enough good things. No brunch in NYC can live up to a cup of coffee and an order of bacon waffles in a cozy homey corner of Good Enough to Eat.
Audrey TolbertJanuary 12, 2014It was well worth the wait for brunch! I don't even like strawberries but the strawberry butter was amazing. It looks like it's straight out of VT which is the highest of compliments.
Try the Lumber Jill and add a side of grits, corn beef hash and biscuits for a hearty breakfast. They have the best bacon and corn beef hash around.
Benjamin BalFebruary 7, 2019Just had the Silver Dollar Pancakes with an extra side of bacon. When you visit, and you should, get the bacon. And the pancakes. Again. The bacon. And the pancakes.
Emmanuel🐠🐟🇫🇷 CherequeAugust 19, 2012Everything I tried was amazing, but my favorite is the corned beef hash. Let the egg yoke mix in your potatoes and beef, you'll thank me later :) the French toasts are always excellent too.- Get a side of the bacon with your brunch - trust me it's unlike anything you have had before. Your table will thank you.
Matthew SpectorFebruary 15, 2015Brilliant breakfast offerings like migas and inventive omelets - try and avoid the crowds and head here early.
Uber NYCApril 5, 2013GETE is an NYC staple, serving the UWS since 1981. Head here for a well made Bloody Mary with Maytag bleu cheese stuffed olives to accompany your traditional brunch choices.
@JaumePrimeroAugust 25, 2013Happy to wait in line for a moment of "wonderful" with those magical bacon waffles and cheesy grits. The 8th wonder of the world when it comes to breakfast!
ChelseaOctober 14, 2013Definitely worth the wait! The pancakes and bacon were amazing and the biscuits with strawberry butter are to die for!
Jasmine ButtolphMarch 23, 2014Pumpkin French toast is unique and delicious. Omelettes are good, but you can get an omelette anywhere. The biscuits and strawberry butter are soooo flavorful. Yumm.
Nelly MagooOctober 19, 2017Relaxed and casual with friendly staff and tasty home made food. Glass of wine was a very small pour and salsa thimble could be a ramekin.
The turkey sausage is really delicious. The biscuits as well! You can also create your own omelette if you want your own unique combo :)
- Bitches Who BrunchDecember 16, 2016The Bitches Say: B+. Good Enough to Eat serves quality comfort food and offers a variety of options that will please everyone in your group. The pancakes were on another level! Read more
Radka JaníkováJanuary 21, 2015Ate there twice during our trip to NYC - food is really good, biu the portions are too huge - it might be good idea to share if u r not used to eat big heavy b-fasts.
Meg SheaApril 12, 2016Biscuits with strawberry butter, good enough to eat French toast, and the Upper west side omelet! Amazing.
Jenny KFebruary 24, 2015The breakfast is delicious - although not wait-in-line-for-45minutes delicious? Go some weekday morning for all of the tastiness and none of the crowds.
Melissa FordJuly 1, 2016Be cautious that they currently have a "C" rating even though their sign says "grade pending"...I loved the vegetable mountain dish before I found that out
- Brie and mushrooms burger, fries and root beer. Also solid appetizers and shakes.
Carol BurnierSeptember 24, 2014Four grains pancake with strawberry butter, maple syrup, eggs and bacon. It's great sitting in the bar
Behrad EatsMarch 4, 2013Must get the BLT Omelette that comes with double-smoked bacon, tomato and Gruyère cheese. Best bacon I've ever had!
- worth the wait, best breakfast I have had in nyc! the place inside is chilled, the wait staff friendly, deserts crazy good. don't worry the line moves fast!
Apple pancakes and a side of bacon - both live up to the hype in this cozy spot.- Pretty solid neighborhood breakfast place, great bacon decent all around fare but nothing truly outstanding. Great strong bloody Mary.
Sheri Ann SchmitzJuly 7, 2013This place is great for any meal, especially brunch. Strawberry butter is delicious! Make sure to order the bacon - too good to pass up!
Grab a coffee and wait in line, it's worth it! Super friendly service, great egg dishes and seasonal pancakes.- Julie SosciaJuly 17, 2018Large portions, so come with an empty stomach. Arrive early on weekends, as there are lines for brunch. Very mom and pop vibe, expect comfort food.
Adoniah DunsonJuly 1, 2019I had the French toast and my grandmother had the omelette. We were both disappointed.
Christina ChinJune 9, 2015Went for dinner, got roast chicken dish, it was huge and perfectly crispy skin. Took home for leftovers, great on a salad later!
Cristina SalzJuly 17, 2016You'll probably have to wait for a table for a while on weekends but the food is pretty amazing. The strawberry butter is the real mvp
Lisa LMay 26, 2014I got the hole in bread or something. It was good, but I wish I ordered something else. The pink lemonade cocktail was strong and worth the $12. I'll be back.

Nathan Rice - 8.0
"A NYC gem! The Greenwich omelette is a meat/cheese lover's dream. Definitely order the oatmeal brulee! A delightful spin on your traditional oatmeal. Skip the Canyonland Eggs. It's far too simple."

"One of my favorite places to get lost in the city. An amazing Oasis in the middle of the cement jungle. Always something for everyone. Make sure to go further in the park and get away from tourists."
Lenny Gallo - 9.5
"Amazing museum... You can spend countless of hours here. Ancient Egypt, Chinese, Japanese, Roman, and don't forget the paintings collections"
