MischaNovember 15, 2014Awesome french toasts, but be aware of the waiting time, is going to be a while. Coffee is not the best but can finish the work of waking you up.
Vivienne GucwaSeptember 21, 2014Get the huckleberry pancakes! Like eating a cloud of awesome with vanilla bean cream.
Mallory NapolitanoSeptember 19, 2016Half an hour wait for table but worth it, the biscuits are to die for.
Minns MokkiMarch 25, 2013We already know about their no brainer pancakes, yum :) and for Vegan souls : the veggi sandwich is delish just add caramelized onions for a savory taste.
Tyger MadendaJanuary 3, 2013Come by yo damn self to be seated with ease at the bar and be served in 5 minutes flat. Leave all friends and cohorts at their respective homes or cubicles.
Rose TabladaAugust 15, 2016I love the salmon burger, it's delicious. The chocolate pancake is to die for, so floppy and tasty.
Manasa VedulaFebruary 26, 2012One of my top 3 best brunch joints in NYC. Here are things to die for: banana walnut pancakes, hashbrowns, hot apple cider and sweet potato fries. Amazing.
Luke WangMarch 24, 2015Skip the line and go in for a late dinner on a week day and still get their breakfast for dinner. Nice cozy place that smells like butter. Hmmm
Stan TranFebruary 4, 2018Legendary pancakes and the fried chicken is not bad either - pro tip: get seated immediately on weeknights
JanelleMarch 29, 2013Must, must try the sugar cured bacon. It's some of the best bacon I've ever had
Caroline Kay Hwa TanJanuary 12, 2012Food. GOOD. Not a fan of the sugar bacon, but only coz I like mine salty. Blueberry pancakes were amazing, and try the eggs Benedict!! Clearly underrated among people leaving tips here.
Sam GilAugust 10, 2019Really nice chicken waffles, just good solid pancakes. Don’t think it’s worth waiting that long for though. Cash only.
Gloria DumasDecember 29, 2016Order it on caviar and skip the lines on a rainy day. Blueberry pancakes and the sugared bacon for the win!
Steve WattsMarch 1, 2015Popped in for breakfast....My daughter had waffles which thought were amazing
Drew SicklerSeptember 21, 2016Make sure you try the Blueberry Pancakes and/or Chicken & Waffles with your significant other to share. #relationshipgoals
Indulgent EatsFebruary 11, 2012Cash only! Get here early on the weekends or expect up to a 2 hour wait. Blueberry pancakes & sugar-cured bacon a must. Eggs benedict is on BISCUITS aka amazing.
Alexandria IfillDecember 6, 2015Pancakes are to die for! Eggs Benny w salmon is a must. I suggest sharing to try more food!
If you're here for weekend brunch and are actually waiting in line for two hours, you need to make better use of your time. Go back to sleep. Revisit on a weekday before work. They open at 8am
Phil NomDecember 31, 2015It's all about those impossibly fluffy pancakes, perhaps for dinner when the crowds are gone
Kathryn DJune 11, 2016Gahh! So good. If they have them, vanilla waffles. Whatever you do, make sure to order a biscuit.
The Corcoran GroupSeptember 12, 2013While the sweet stuff here is amazing, the Buttermilk Biscuit Sandwich is definitely not to be missed.- The Tastes that Make the CityJanuary 28, 2015The blueberry pancakes are the best pancakes in NYC, making our list of "The Tastes That Make the City: NYC Edition."

Takanori MiyataOctober 6, 2013I ate pancakes and French toast this morning. Comparing them, I prefer French toast than pancakes!!
Helen SJanuary 25, 2012this place lives up to and is better than all of the hype. i have the cookbook at home! i certainly appreciate the pancakes more now that i know how much work goes into them. warning: long wait
B ChuMay 20, 2013Very popular breakfast/ brunch spot among tourists. Can consider having dinner there to avoid queuing. Blueberry pancakes - soo good !!

Katie SchlossJanuary 30, 2012The Banana Walnut Pancakes here spoiled me for life. Long waits for brunch though, so pop into Gesamtkunstwerk across the street while you wait & check out the latest Three Jane accessories!
Jennifer HahnFebruary 13, 2012They don't accept reservations here, so expect a long wait/line on the weekends. The Blueberry Pancakes w/ the lemony syrup are amazing. Biscuits are tasty too!
The blueberry pancakes are worth the hype, especially with the maple butter syrup. Order a serving and share it with someone you love.
Brian DesmaraisSeptember 17, 2016Relaxed vibes at dinner time. Like diner chill but with considered food. Banana walnut pancakes ++
Angela HumJuly 2, 2015Haven't gotten a chance to try their famous pancakes yet, but the Peanut Butter Ice Box Pie was amazing!!
Linda ChowMarch 16, 2015Tried so many things here and all I keep coming back for is the blueberry pancakes. Best pancakes I've ever had.
Angela WangelaJune 5, 2010Sugar bacon is a perfect balance between savory and sweet. Even though I'm a waffle girl, I liked the fluffy pancakes and the maple butter reminded me of maple treats I ate in Canada.
Jordin SmithAugust 20, 2019The cheese grits were beautiful. Not much of a breakfast food person, but if I was, the French toast looked so good.
AljoharahFebruary 1, 2022Yummy pancakes 🤤 but the place is busy in a crazy way! Wouldn’t come again 🙂
PatrickSeptember 27, 2015Vanilla waffles w/ pear & pecans were ridiculously good. I need a nap and a shot of insulin.

Vivian DoanNovember 7, 2013Came during the day on a weekday and it was cash only, so be prepared. Blueberry pancakes and sugar cured bacon - yum!!
Christopher GurrMarch 31, 2013Prepare for a wait but know that they're very much on top of the waiting experience. You give them your mb number and they text you the wait estimate and again when your table is ready.
JillianOctober 12, 2016Usually #teameggs for brunch, but this place is the exception. Go with the pancakes, they're a must

"Best cookies in the world. As big as slabs of scones, and they're slightly undone, warm, and gooey in the center. Lines move pretty quickly, so it's definitely 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."
