Pablo EsperalbaMarch 29, 2017The Rothko were really good but the gravy w/ biscuits was way too peppery. Fantastic coffee, and one of the best biscuits in NY.
LukaSHAugust 28, 2014Get Grafton Cheddar Omelet with Broiled Tomatoes & hashbrowns. Add pork saussage and you have THE breakfast!
CITY GRITAugust 8, 2014Who doesn’t love a place that serves breakfast until 3 every day?!? Don’t tell Sarah but we think Chef Evan Hanczor makes the best biscuit in the city!
Eggs Rothko should be the only thing on the menu (along with hashbrown balls and bacon dipped in maple syrup).
Nick BurtoMay 23, 2014Woah, the Country Ham biscuit with cheddar & fig paste was delish! Get a poached egg on the side instead of grits.
AmateurConciergeFebruary 11, 2018Man these guys really know how to do a soft scramble (add cheddar). Chorizo and eggs is great
ImSo_BrooklynAugust 18, 2015The grits are to die for! The host was nice, the server could've been a little more comfortable lol! But the place is great!- Chad HornerApril 15, 2017really fun breakfast or brunch! involve a biscuit in whatever you're ordering.
Marc SchneebergerMarch 12, 2019Cheers! Bloody mary and burger! Thats probably one of my favorite brunch spots in NYC.
Hugo ChevallierSeptember 21, 2016So Nice place Where You can draw on the table waiting for your meal
Eggs Rothko with candied bacon. Just do it. Also, if you go in the morning on the weekends, you get delicious and warm beignets !!
Eggs Rothko is always a great choice but even simpler items like eggs and hash browns are standouts.
ACAugust 19, 2011I'd say get there early to avoid the crowd, but the baby toting residents already have that covered. Boo. Worth the wait tho. Act like a pro - put your name on the list that hangs by the door.
Lane RettigNovember 15, 2015Simple menu but remarkably high quality delicious food. The eggs rothko is unreal and the hashbrown is scrumptious!
Deniz F.November 5, 2013Take the Cheese Grits w/ eggs and sausages for a great glutenfree and low fructose breakfast. They need to work on expectation management though, letting us wait for 30min, said it would take only 5.
A little part of me dies every time I walk past on a Saturday and see people waiting for hours. There's so many better options nearby - Diner, Marlow, Rabbithole, Allswell, Colette, to name a few
OutwithBabyNovember 21, 2015Verrrrrry baby friendly donuts arrive right away as a free starter. Only issue is, we get a lot of "more" chants that have to go unanswered...
Eggs Rothko with candied bacon made my friend a believer in brunch :) also probably the best iced coffee I've ever tasted, no need for milk& sugar
My favorite brunch in Williamsburg. Try the Eggs Rothko, or biscuits and gravy. Then doodle on the tables.
Melda ÖzkanJune 13, 2015Don't plan just walking in and dining! 30-40 mins waiting. But it really worth it.
Ricky SherrillSeptember 20, 2014Smithfield Ham biscuits are a must try. The hash browns are cooked the way I like them..., nice and crunchy.
Shermans TravelAugust 15, 2012Breakfast menu features sweet and fluffy homemade biscuits, stone-ground South Carolina grits, country ham, and scrapple from an organic New Jersey farm Read more
Design*SpongeMarch 25, 2011Egg makes one of the best biscuits I've had north of the Mason Dixon. My grandmother's ham biscuits are hard to beat, but the biscuits and ham here are pretty darn good.
Rita Boreczky-BergerApril 24, 2011Eggs rothko and the definitely top it off with the Pound cake, custard and ice cream desert... SO DELICIOUS! Also loved the individual french presses for coffee.
Pien MaatJune 12, 2015If you have a morning off and you have plenty of time it's nice to have breakfast!
ginny hDecember 17, 2011Like everyone else here the Eggs Rothko are delicious! Get their biscuits and house marmalade! heavenly!
SeraOctober 18, 2013Try out Egg Rotkho!! Probably the best thing i have ever had for breakfast! 11 USD but worth every single cent.
Sheyla ConcepcionJuly 23, 2017Order anything you want and it will be good but you have to order a biscuit. They're amazing.
Rich KearneyNovember 18, 2012This place always has a crazy line, but it is DAMN good! The southern-style breakfast biscuit sandwich is amazing. Order it to go.
SkeeterNYCSeptember 27, 2011Everyone gets the Egg Rothkos. But I didn't. I got the country ham biscuit with a side of eggs to shove inside it with the rest of the goodies. That's what you do.
Laura PradoAugust 28, 2015Eggs rothko were a pleasant surprise, with the egg tucked between brioche and cheese. Yummmmm
Jay AmatoAugust 9, 2014Pancakes are great. Light, thinner than other favorites like Clinton Street Bakery, and extremely flavorful.
One of the two places I will wait for (the other is Momofuku Saam). Get the grits - they will change your life! Poached eggs + grits w cheese + bacon + stewed tomatoes = best brunch ever.- SkeeterNYCSeptember 27, 2011Ask the waiter what's freshest from their farm upstate. Whatever that is, you MUST, I repeat, you MUST order it.
Luyba ZeylikmanJune 14, 2015Great food, service was okay the wait was a bit long...looks like the place is understaffed by one or two people. However really loved the breakfast
Peter WuJanuary 3, 2015Of course, get the eggs rothko. The biscuits are bomb but the jam is surprisingly amazing.
Brynn TaylorDecember 1, 2012Get breakfast for dinner and you don't have to wait. Order candied bacon, cheese grits, scrambled eggs, French press. Bliss.
Aly OradyDecember 28, 2014The Duck Confit Hash is a must. It tastes like Thanksgiving for breakfast.
Peter GastonJune 21, 2012Fast & friendly takeout on weekdays. Plus, their grilled cheese with pickled jalapeños and bacon was a game-changer on a hungover afternoon.
Cameron CrowJune 26, 2014I love the way try do their hashbrowns! All in a circle--crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Like a hashbrown cake.
Carmen da SilvaAugust 15, 2011As far as I remember they only serve Stumptown via french press, however, I loved it (and I'm not a regular straight-up coffee kinda gal but heeeey, when done right—it's done riiiiiight). Read more
coughsodaSeptember 2, 2013Waited a slight bit long for my brunch and they comped the whole meal. Who does that? (Eggs Rothko, btw - delicious!)
Tamara HSeptember 13, 2011Eggs Rothko w/ candied bacon on the side. Toasty, buttery brioche hugging a not-too-cooked egg, smothered in Vermont cheddar. Oh, and BACON.
