get chicken and waffles you won't regret it! blueberry pancakes are amaze and the sugar cured bacon is good but not as great as all the hype

EVERYTHING on their menu is amazingly good. We had salmon scrambled eggs & pancakes but kept drooling over all the dishes being served at other tables. Babies allowed but no strollers.

Blueberry pancakes and brioche french toast were delicious and enormous. Prepare for a long wait on the weekends, but they will text you when you're table is ready.

Amazing little place. We tried the spanish scramble and blueberry pancakes and it was delish. There was a lineup when we got there but kindly got a table right away cause we were 2 ;)

Worth the wait to get a table. Recommend going to Cocoa Bar for a couple of hot chocolates while waiting for your table. The waffle & pancakes with male butter is superb.

An absolute favourite in NYC. Always busy but worth the wait.

Really tasty pancakes. It gets really busy so i suggest getting there early or using the yelp app to reserve a table

Most people come here for their legendary pancakes and other breakfast dishes. February is 'Pancake Month' in which a new pancake flavor is featured each day. Read more

Perfect diner for late-night breakfasts, rich milkshakes and mind-blowingly delicious chicken and waffles.
Alice AlyssJuly 12, 2015
Love the blue berries pancakes. It got so many blue berries it is comparing to what you would get in other breakfast places.
Nate BeattyApril 13, 2015
Waffles were the perfect fluffy consistency. Like... Absolutely perfect. The chefs must use lots of magic and butter. I'll be coming back. Worth the wait.

the food is awesome here ... to me is the nicest Haitian restaurant i have been too.... the food ...griot (fried pork shoulders) with piklz is nice...the cabrit (fried goat) nice and crunch on

Dinner is the way to go - no wait and you can still get the delicious pancakes. Plus, if you're there at the end of the day, you might just score some free baked goods to take home.

Blueberry pancakes and the warm maple butter. Best pancakes I've ever had, hands down. Sugar coated bacon is pretty delicious as well

Grab the two top next to the door. Order blueberry pancakes and chicken and waffles. With each passerby at the window, you'll feel like the Marie Antoinette of brunch. Let them eat pancake!
Jordan MoldoDecember 30, 2013
Pancakes and sugar bacon are to die for. Also, Rachel is the best hostess/server. Such a difficult restaurant to oversee and she is amazing!!!

Yummiest ever, go for pineapple waffle. Don't forget to reserve a table, otherwise you need to wait for minimum 45 minutes.
ThrillistJune 11, 2013
Pancakes that are worth the five-hour wait on a Saturday, but if you go during the week you just might beat the crowd...
ClaudioApril 21, 2016
Chocolate chunk pancakes and blueberry pancakes, flavorful and with maple/butter on the side. Arrive early…
Ben MackeyAugust 22, 2015
Well known for the blueberry pancakes and friend chicken and waffles, but the brunch menu is actually pretty extensive. The Farmer's Plate was excellent.

Blueberry pancakes are a MUST. I have eaten a ton of pancakes in my day, but these are honestly the best I can ever remember eating.
Freka SexyFebruary 19, 2015
I ordered pancakes, bacon, home fries, an omelette and an apple pie. I enjoyed the bacon and the omelette the most!! All the the other stuff ... I've had better!
Laura NoonanNovember 7, 2014
Eggs Benedict is amazing, the pancakes are worth the hype, the blue cheese sugar bacon burger...drool. Don't expect to camp at your table, they'll get you out ASAP! Not a brunch spot to chill.
Eileen ChengAugust 21, 2013
Have someone go early for you, the line is always ridiculous. But the blueberry pancakes with warm maple syrup is totally worth the wait! So are the latkes with cinnamon sour cream! #nomnomnom
İpek A.June 13, 2016
Such a lovely place to have a delicious breakfast. Clinton St Omlette and pancakes are really good.
Erika Lopez GarciaJune 26, 2015
Definitely go for the pancakes, both options are absolutely delicious! If you don't want to deal with the weekend brunch rush, go on a weekday evening!
Julia S.May 20, 2016
Great service and we were very lucky – the wait was supposed to be an hour but there were seats at the bar that we could take immediately. Came for the pancakes, stayed for the sugar cured bacon.
Shirley ZhuJuly 26, 2016
The blueberry pancakes and sugar cured bacon are amazing! There is usually a line, but well worth the wait
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019
A very popular tucked away on a street on the Lower East Side. A go-to pancake spot. Also try the fried chicken and waffles!
Tamara BrownJuly 17, 2014
We went Thursday around 11. Only 15 min wait. Definitely recommend the brioche french toast and the southern breakfast!
Edlin ChoiApril 7, 2012
This was bomb. Blueberry pancakes for the win. Get a side of bacon and try the hot apple cider. Or the brunch cocktails and milkshakes looked good. Be here early, wait is… (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

i know the wait might be a long one, but the service was really quick — sat, ordered, received our food, and left within 45min. never felt rushed. pancakes obvi. and the spanish omelette!
Almando PerezJanuary 28, 2016
Chicken and Waffles are very good. I would recommend this. Also, the fried chicken anything. I was impressed! Of course the PANCAKES!!!
Cheapeats IncAugust 26, 2016
Buttermilk biscuit with homemade raspberry jam. The perfect accompaniment to my Spanish scramble and cafe con leche. Next time pancakes.
Emily HughesJanuary 31, 2012
The hype is true! I've had breakfast and dinner here and both were equally good. They make amazing lattes and the blueberry pancakes are definitely worth trying! Also the oatmeal was delicious!
cnelson ︻╦╤─October 6, 2018
Good breakfast but not worth a multi-hour wait. Show up 20-30 min before opening to get a seat with a short wait.
Ranu RajkarnikarFebruary 11, 2017
Pancakes. Yes. Farmers and country breakfast. Yes. Bacon. Yes. New bigger space means shorter waits!
Patrick ConnellMarch 8, 2016
Heuvos Rancheros and Banana pancakes were both fresh and light and not too filling! Both excellent and great service despite the wait!
Jacob ForsterAugust 7, 2015
If there are pancakes in heaven, this is what they taste like. Get there early on a weekday to avoid the ungodly wait times.
Charlotte & LisaJune 5, 2012
Must try the buttermilk biscuit sandwich and banana pancakes. Best time to get a table after 2 PM weekdays. No reservations accepted and lines often 3 hours +. What won't we do for a good brunch?
D C🐧April 27, 2015
The blueberry pancakes with the maple syrup taste soo good! I wish there were a bday cake that tasted just like it! The coffee is so good!
Shimin KaiNovember 9, 2013
Get the hot apple butter cider! The apple cider's perfect for the cold season, and the maple butter adds a depth of flavor.... Yum!
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014
Arriving for dinner allows you to skip the line, but still order many of the same dishes available at brunch. And yes, the blueberry pancakes are phenomenal.
Thomas HolmenMay 3, 2019
A little expensive for our taste, but well worth a visit for some fantastic breakfast. Try the eggs benedict.
Chen Yang LhoJanuary 23, 2018
Love the chicken and waffles, bring someone here on a date to share it if you can. Recommend the seasonal Buttered Rum too. Great service!
BettyAugust 30, 2016
Came here on a weeknight to avoid the crowds. Honestly, for their fried chicken and sugar cured bacon, I'd happily wait.
Farhat SikderJune 1, 2019
We got the blueberry pancakes, Mac&cheese, and the chicken dinner. Mac and cheese was okay, definitely not up to the hype but chicken and pancakes were great. The corn bread was really food as well.
LuborJanuary 4, 2015
The pancakes were great, especially the maple syrup blended with melted butter but I think that Spoon does even better pancakes.
Christina C.December 3, 2012
The black & white cake is decadent but oh so delicious. The pumpkin cheesecake was creamy. They were nice enough to give us that morning's scones for free since we were there late at night.
Lisa RayleSeptember 11, 2015
The biscuit used for the eggs benedict makes it stand out. The blueberry pancakes are also delicious, although I couldn't eat a whole stack of them.
