Condé Nast TravelerOctober 27, 2016Though it has grown beyond its beginnings as a wildly popular pop-up breakfast spot, Williamsburg favorite Egg still sees a crowd of people waiting to get inside on weekends. Read more
Noah WeissAugust 30, 2015Great southern food brunch. Eggs Rothko -- egg in a hole slathered with melted cheese and stewed tomatoes, with candied bacon -- is perfectly coma inducing. Blue bottle is around the corner, too.
EaterJuly 18, 2017The bright-white space at Egg is an easy choice for breakfast sandwiches, duck hash with eggs over easy, and buttermilk biscuits. Egg is a true brunch, where weekend service is friendly and efficient.
Tony XerriFebruary 10, 2014Ive had a lot of fried oyster sandwiches in my life, this one topped them all. Also, if you're going to get grits, make sure you ask for them extra cheesy and they'll happily oblige. Awesome.
WhiskeyAvengerJune 17, 2018I love ‘Egg’. Excellent brunch menu,coffee and service. The space has great ambiance and there is a cool vibe there. It’s a perfect way to start your day before doing a tour of Brooklyn Brewery.
Samantha JoFebruary 24, 2015Every item I've tried on the menu is Delish! Make sure you look at the specials bored for some of the most interesting items! And I love how they give you your own French press for coffee.
MerveSeptember 15, 2016I am a breakfasts person and this was the best breakfast I had. Ever. In my life. Biscuits are amazing. Strawberry jam is to die for. Cheddar omlette is perfection. Roasted tomatos are wonderful!
The food is solid as everyone says it is. They all get pretty much the same thing. Try the scrapple. There aren't many places that serves this delicious type of meat. Do have fun with the crayons!
You won't get sited if all the members of your company have arrived, even if the shop is half empty. Apart from that, EXCELLENT pancakes, great breakfast, good coffee (aeropress only) until 5 :-)
Alexey TrishinApril 24, 2018Trust this place. Their breakfast are absolutely amazing. Got a very mild omelette with cheese inside plus very delicious tomatoes (how you do that so cool?) and kale extra.
The Corcoran GroupOctober 8, 2010Awesome brunch, but be prepared to WAIT. Try the Egg Rothkos or the Biscuits & Gravy. Less of a wait for dinner, when you should try the Fried Oyster Sandwich or the Carolina Kale.
Dante van der HeydenJanuary 17, 2017Well this place is purely amazing, the staff is really friendly and will try to make your stay as good as possible. In summer, first check out the view of Manhattan from the pier and then go here!
Great food and vibes. A little bit of a long wait but the free donuts app made up for it. the crayons and paper are a nice way to pass time. Super cute babies everywhere.
Incredible breakfast. No matter what I order it's delicious. They had to move to a larger space because so many people were enjoying their eggs, biscuits and gravy. Def get the French press coffee!
Regina VallegoJune 22, 2018the place is spacious and fresh, food was delicious, specially the tomatoes that came with. but definetely the star of it all is the service -- the waiter was so kind, helpful and polite. made my day!
The last time I was here, OK had the pancakes. The pancakes are delicious. Match that with their sausage patty - which have just the right amount of spice - and you're in for a great breakfast.
John-Carlos LunardiniJanuary 18, 2016Delicious fluffy omelette with the consistency of a stick of butter left on dashboard in the summer. Hash browns shaped like a potato complete the experience
Rachel PortMarch 9, 2019Gets the eggs Rothko with pork sausage and if they have the duck bacon egg and cheese sandwich, get that! Amazing hash browns as well.
David RosenbergFebruary 24, 2014Eggs Rothko with a side of greens + a biscuit. Do a good deed and bring recent New York transplants here. Draw a map of the City on the table with provided crayons, with all parks/bridges labelled.
LynnFebruary 29, 2016The best BEC on a biscuit .Excellant ingredients cooked to perfection. A fan! Just go at an odd hour or very long wait . Night big bright space too. Good service once your in the door.
Cole KennedyMarch 14, 2015The Egg Rothko is good, if a tad bit dry. Fix that by ordering the hash browns and a side of tomatoes. Oh, and the biscuits are outta this world.
Flo FloJuly 12, 2013Everyone is on point with the Egg Rothkos, but the biscuit was just good. I also liked the candied bacon, in fact...I would def order it again. Overall, I would come back here and try other items.
CharlottesFebruary 3, 2016I really like the space and had a hard time choosing from all the tasty fresh dishes on the menu. I went with deviled eggs and ham arugula salad which totally hit the spot.
Serious EatsNovember 3, 2011Duck Sandwich: Thick slices of perfectly pan-seared duck breast on a crusty French baguette that's slathered in duck liver pate. Fresh greens, Colman's mustard & sweet onion jam add a spicy sweetness. Read more
Stephanie ZhongJanuary 24, 2015You'd be a fool to miss the chorizo and eggs! Packed with full flavors yet not too heavy. It comes with fig jam which adds some sweetness nicely
MegAugust 25, 2018Not a lot of vegetarian options but whatever we did order, was amazing! They also had a few vegetarian specials that were so flavorful. Ask for biscuits on the side. They melted in my mouth
Kevin SkobacAugust 12, 2014Get here early on the weekend and enjoy Eggs Rothko (easy-cooked egg in a slice of Amy’s brioche, topped with Grafton cheddar) and a side of candied bacon!
Dilara CumhurOctober 1, 2016Great atmosphere, good brunch. A must-go places in williamsburg. Go before noon if you dont want to wait for 30 mins
Alexandros PlexidasMay 13, 2016Great place to eat a healthy breakfast all day long or a brunch. Usually crowded so you may have to wait a bit but all egg related dishes are delicious.
Shrutika SachdevMay 6, 2013Come on a weekday for Brunch to avoid lines! Good but doesn't live up to hype- got the eggs Rothko and biscuits and gravy. Duck hash on the next table looked better! (Candied bacon is a must!)
Vicky OApril 6, 2018Delicious all day brunch! Light airy space with simple furnishings. Happy hour from 3-5 $5 mimosas. Staff are lovely.
Tara DrakeMarch 13, 2014Sooo yummy and reasonably priced too. Don't go starving as there might be a wait but have a cup of coffee outside while chatting with friends. Highly recommended!
Rafi RomeroJanuary 18, 2016Just go with what all the other tips say: biscuits+gravy and eggs Rothko. also great: candied bacon and pancakes. good but not spectacular: country ham, hash browns.
OutwithBabyNovember 21, 2015Verrrrrry baby friendly doughnuts arrive almost immediately as a free starter. The only issue is dealing with all those "more" chants and gestures. Also, tons of babies at 9am.
Tilman BeneckeMarch 25, 2017Amazing stuff - amazing staff - always pretty full though, so better be early - try the egg omelett with tomatoes and hash browns - delicious!!
Lucia FosterJanuary 2, 2014Worth my trek on the slow ass L Train from Manhattan. Cute room. Snappy service. Eggs Rothko was perfection. Coffee delicious. Splurge on the hash brown--it's unreal
Patricia IglesiasMarch 4, 2018Eggs Rothko, french toast , biscuits , basically everything I have been. Como@g here for the last 11 years and it has been consistently great
Possibly the best fried chicken in all of New York City, but the biscuits may outshine it. Get the cheese grits in the morning and the mac & cheese in the afternoon. The chef is from Virginia.
Hate to say it, but this place is sooo good. Just go early, but everything is easy, best pancakes I've had in a while
Sharon GeeAugust 9, 2014One of the best places to go in Williamsburg for early brunch since they open at 8am. Beat the hipster hangover rush and go before 11.
inna katsJanuary 18, 2017Duck hash. Half way through I noticed it was full of chopped celery (which I hate). Perhaps bc it's slightly cooked. If I knew I would have ordered something else. And it was still really good.
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.
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!
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.
Tash KouriJanuary 21, 2013Waited about 30 mins for our party of 7. French toast was fluffy and yum. Rothko was super cheesy and bready in the best way. Biscuits were crumbly goodness. Grapefruit wasn't as special as I desired.
New York HabitatOctober 21, 2011Good for breakfast and brunch, this Williamsburg spot is very popular so be prepared to wait. Get the country ham biscuit with a french press coffee, you won't regret it.
Bitches Who BrunchOctober 15, 2015The Bitches say: A-. We loved that this brunch was awesome without being extravagant or pricy, and we’ll never forget their pancakes. Read more
- Ashley MowreyJuly 24, 2017I wish I could wake up here every morning. Specifically, I am in love with their hash browns, which are giant and gourmet McDonalds hash browns.
- 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...
