They used to have five burgers with crazy names. They've since simplified it down to just "the Sidewalk Burger", but you can still pick your own adventure with additional toppings. Great fries too.

Service is pretty consistently negligent at best, but it's worth it for the delicious food and cocktails, great happy hour, stellar music, free wifi, fabulous open mic Mondays… the list goes on.

This place is the best of both worlds. Great brunch menu, fantastic dinner menu (burgers are spectacular) and for those over 21, the most SENSATIONAL spiked milkshakes are out of this world!

Super cute cafe with delicious food. I got the hummus with chicken and pita bread :) Will definitely be back here!

This place is a jack of all trades with a poorly-lit bar, a well-lit bar, outdoor seating and live music every day in the back room. And sadly, they're closing soon, so stop on in before they close!

Always amazing. My old band played here several times and this was my first time doing the Monday open mic. If you check in on foursquare you get a free soda or beer!

Their spiked milkshakes are great!! Get the pumpkin milkshake - it's Molly's Pumpkin Liqueur with vanilla ice cream. Perfect.

Their legendary Monday open mic has hosted a slew of now famous artists! The Undisputed Heavyweights played their first show here, which lead to the first Family release. Try the Sweet potato fries!

The new consulting chef Felipe Donnelly of the pop-up series Worth Kitchen kept the open-face tuna melt and a version of the Israeli-style schnitzel, but eliminated some of the fried items. Read more

Great spot for brunch. I'm sure other times are good too. Strawberry milkshake will not help u lose weight but god damn it is good.

Sidewalk Cafe’s high quality of live entertainment is coupled with a healthy mix of whiskey and merriment. Enjoy the 2-for-1 happy hour special until 8pm, and $9 beer+shot combo deals afterward. Read more

I love their huevos rancheros for brunch. Good special with coffee and 1 brunch drink. Also, the burger!

The sidewalk burger is great! Not #1 burger but definitely worth a try

Great food but horrible service. If you're in a rush or are bothered when your food comes out wrong the first (and second) time, skip this place. Delicious veggie burgers w great toppings, though!

Best music, best atmosphere. Especially on Monday night for the open mics, you never know what's gonna happen!
Luis SanzJanuary 27, 2013
Skip the bar and go straight to the back stage for the best live music in the East Village

First time I had a burger with a fried egg was at this place. Amazing for brunch.

The price is right at Happy Hour with $3 and $4 drink specials. Service is awesome and really friendly. As the name suggests, sit on the sidewalk.

Believe the hype, yo - the Sidewalk Burger is actually one of the best burgers in the city.

My girfriend enjoyed her blueberry pancakes but I would say my breakfast melt was so- so. They fail to tell you the eggs are runny.

Best huevos rancheros I've ever had. And I've had a lot of huevos rancheros.
LaurenJuly 12, 2010
the drinks they give you with brunch are kinda lousy but the food is excellent! The omelette, the sidewalk special, the salad, the home fries, it's ALL good!
Bullfrog & BaumSeptember 13, 2011
Sidewalk Cafe is a great spot any time of day- lunch, happy hour, or night life! Check in often for deals, like 2 for 1 drinks and other specials.
Alyssa ManeriJuly 20, 2013
Check the chalkboards. Their waitresses don't know what's on tap nor what their house wine is!

Live music in the back, every night, no cover, 2 drink minimum.

Came here for a show and the waitress was totally obnoxious. Pestering us to order and such. Anyways, food was good/cheap. Nice atmosphere, sit by the window if you can.

On Monday nights, The Sidewalk Cafe hosts NYC's most prestigious Open Mic Night where folks like Jeff Buckley and Beck got their start.

It is absolutely horrid saturday brunch. The one waitress for the whole outdoors couldn't cut it. 1 hour wait for a burger...huevos ranchers came out in 20 min...maybe stick with that

Come for the spiked milk shakes; stay for the spiked milk shakes.

Excellent burgers and really nice staff & good service.

Great good- terrible, inattentive service. Have been seated for an hour and only took our order. Have not seen food or a check in to see if we needed anything.

Cozy, good food, and they make a good dark and stormy.

I don't know if their Old Fashioned milkshake is really a cocktail, but it sure is delicious.
