Hole In The Wall - Williamsburg

It’s time to find a hole in the wall for dinner. Yes I really mean it. On the corner of Bedford and Grand in Williamsburg is Hole In The Wall which serves banging drinks and food with sort of a lie. It isn’t a hole in the wall. They have a cozy down to earth environment with big smiling staffs. Drinks are on point and food is simply great. That warmbrownie also finishes off your meal properly. They also have a variety ofspeciality coffee to choose from. Stop by Hole In The Wall and have agreat time by securing a spot on Resy!

A casual brunch spot. Good food. Was able to get a seat without a reservation. Definitely recommend!

This place is The Vibe. The food is amazing - esp the spicy rigatoni. The staff is absolutely delightful - the bartender Ellie really takes care of you with her bright smile and lovely personality! Danny at the bar crafted some of the most delicious winter drinks I have had. I come here at least once a week & always have a lovely time! Would recommend if you’re in the area looking for reasonably prices cocktails, delicious food, cute ambiance, and chill vibes.

This place was on our list for such a long time! Abby was a great server and had us set up perfectly all night. The charred broccolini to the unique cocktails had us smiling ear to ear. Highly recommend a reservation as this is a summer hot spot

Overall rating: 4.3 Cute spot I’ve walked by way too many times but never tried. Pricing is relative to the area but really went in for a snack to kill some time. I ended up just going with a beer and some fries. Fries were really good. But the bartender, I’m not sure. He was a lively Italian and at first I was thinking maybe it was a difference in cultures for how many times I was called baby, but then towards the end - it was a bit too much for me. I really like the decoration and everything, but for American food - I’m not sure if I was overly obsessed with this place. There are a lot of food options in Williamsburg that makes it tricky for this to be a huge recommendation. I recommend trying, but maybe don’t sit at the bar if you’re a solo woman.

Shared brunch with a few good friends while visiting for the weekend -- couldn't have requested better service or food during my last sit-down meal in NYC.

The food is great, the vibe, the ice cream coffee 🥰 will come back next time 😋

This place is fantastic (I say this a lot in my reviews but they really are!). 🌶️ eggs, wild mushrooms, and waffles were ordered and all just looked, and tasted stunning. Mushrooms had a really lovely hot taste which the whipped feta offset nicely, just great flavours all round! Packed for brunch every time I walk past as well!

The atmosphere was chill with music loud enough to enjoy but not so loud that you had to shout at each other. Our service was sweet and inviting, like the amazing cheesecake waffle. We also had the chicken sandwich with a very tasty lime chili spice, not spicy but tasty. Recommend.

There aren't that much options, but the food was very delicious. I got a burger and it was so great. Everything tasted fresh and very original. The fries had a little citrus to them which was odd but really worked for me. And they have the good kind of fries. Light, airy, not too greesy, and the ones with the crumbly outsides. It's hard to describe. But so good. Burger was cooked to perfection and whatever sauce they had on there was great. My sister enjoyed her dish as well. She got the mushroom avacado toast. And she also had a latte which looked great.

The food was actually pretty good, but each dish is around 20 dollars and the portions are quite small. There were not as many options to choose from but I felt that it made it easier to decide what we wanted. Not sure if this will be a reoccurring place for us as we left still kinda hungry, however it was enjoyable for the visit. The servers were nice and tried to strike up conversation with the guests, no complaints there. We also almost got charged for a coffee we didn't order, but we made sure to correct the error which they help with right away.

I stumbled into Hole in the Wall, lured by its cozy vibes and brunch promises. It was a lazy Saturday around 1 pm, and the place was buzzing with life, which is always a good sign. I went for the Pulled Pork Eggs Benedict on sourdough, and while it was decent, it didn't quite rock my socks off like I hoped. The flavors were there, but it felt like it was missing that extra oomph promised on the menu. On the bright side, the coffee was fresh and perked me up, and the folks behind the bar were on top of their game, making sure I was well taken care of amidst the chaos. The vibe inside was like being wrapped in a warm blanket - cozy and intimate, the perfect backdrop for a lazy brunch with friends. Overall, Hole in the Wall has potential. I'd definitely swing by again to give their other dishes a shot. Who knows, maybe next time they'll knock it out of the park. But for now, it's a solid spot for a chill brunch vibe.

Such an amazing place! This is a go to spot for me and never disappoints. It's just the perfect customer service, ambience, and delicious meals. I ordered the mushrooms toast, which was seriously to die for! It's a cute and perfect brunch, lunch, or dinner spot. It's clearly a hole in the wall of surprise!

It was a nice day out so we sat in the outdoor seating area. It was a little chilly but there were nice enough to turn on the heat. I really just came here for the espresso martini which are strong and delicious. I got the tequila based one. My friend and I had 2 each. I got the breakfast burrito. The hash brown in the burrito was nice and crispy. The chimichurri sauce was pretty good. The bacon was a bit salty and I didn't think it paired well with the chimichurri sauce. It would have been nice to have the sauce throughout the burrito and not just on the bacon. I appreciate the creativity of making something different. My friend got the kimchee scrambled egg. They really enjoyed their meal with a bacon add on.

There is an Anthony Bourdain quote that hangs in my 6 x 8 room that reads: "Eat at a local restaurant tonight...Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways..." Damn this is back to back reviews of me mentioning Bourdain, I need to chill ahahahaha. Nonetheless, I sat in my room yesterday with the quote looking down on me and I realized I haven't been living it accordingly. I mean it had been like 3 weeks since my last negroni lol... I have been to damn near every place in Alphabet City (A-TOWN STAND UP!), so decided to put my hard hat on and make the expedition to Williamsburg. I took a walk down Bedford Ave and let the spirits guide me. Can't stop the spirits when they need you. The spirits guided me to this place, as the interior made me feel like I am in a rich Manhattan Beach Mom's home. Beautiful and cozy with a slight hint of a beachy feel, yet not ostentacious. I sat at the bar, and was one of the only people in the place. I mean it was like 6pm ahahaaha. In the spirit of the Bourdain quote, I was fully ready to house a negroni. However, Morgan, one of the bartenders, began selling me about how fantastic their espresso martini is. "It's the best in the city." Then the other bartender, Danny, began saying the exact same thing with supreme confidence. It's like they were stating a fact rather than an opinion. I don't know if I have ever spoken that confidently about anything in my life ahahaha. Well I do make a pretty mean omelette if I'm being honest, but that's a conversation for another day......... I obviously had to order the espresso martini now. To my unanticipated delight, it came in a FROSTED glass, and I am a slut for a frosted glass. That attention to detail needs to be respected. The espresso martini itself was mf GAS, as there was cocoa powder sprinkled on top as well. They're not playing in here!! Me and Morgan got to talking about our shared love for Mezcal, and she ended up making me what I am dubbing the "Morgan Special." Idk what all was in it other than Mezcal and Tangerine Juice, but they need to get that on the menu ASAP. GOD DID! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

Truly an interesting menu with great service with a chic / cozy Williamsburg vibe. The cocktails looked great though I just stuck with coffee. They had lots of non-alcohol breakfast drinks as well and always love a spot with many different types of plant based milk. I got the kimchi egg scramble and my partner got the pulled porks eggs benedict. Our brunch came out FAST, and everything was really, really, delicious. The egg benedict had lots of pulled pork and it was basically melt in your mouth. I particularly liked the combo of the eggs, feta, kimchi and green onions. Very fresh and was a great pairing with that epic slice of toast. The bacon on the side was a great addition! I would absolutely come back and try one of the breakfast cocktails!

Love this place- very sunny, open atmosphere. Amazing cocktails and food ( I personally love the Bees Knees cocktail, Brussels sprouts and OG burger). Service is always very friendly. Overall a great space to get some work done during the week, grab some pregame drinks on a Friday night or go on a cute date night!

I was surprisingly impressed with Hole in the Wall Williamsburg. My sister and I needed a nearby post yoga brunch and we weren't disappointed. I chose the mushroom avocado toast, usually served with a poached egg, but I opted for an over-easy egg instead. It was delicious, especially with the side of bacon and avocado. My sister enjoyed her burger as well. The ambiance of the place added to its charm, making it an aesthetically pleasing brunch spot.

Solid spot for good eats from a simple menu, with an equally nice selection of drinks. The draw is the outdoor seating, as well as the breakfast/brunch, but dinner was pretty solid! I had the spicy shrimp vodka rigatoni, and the pasta was EXCELLENT. If you like al dente, you'll appreciate this dish for sure. Overall a good experience, I would definitely come back for a bite!

Stopped by being that my niece was in the mood for an expresso martini. 1-10 the martini in her opinion needed a little more flavor and she gave it a 6 1/2 -7 on the martini. I had a draft beer Dogfish Hazy-O IPA which was so good. We had the calamari which was delish. And the fingerlings potatoes with the aioli sauce... YUMMY!!! Mylo who was our server was gorgeous and super sweet. And brought my niece a expresso martini made with Casa Amigos which was so much better than the vodka expresso martini! So cheers to Mylo. Ambiance was pleasant and chill. Not too loud. Just the right touch of everything you could ask for in a trendy spot! I am definitely coming back. They also offer a great happy hour menu with the cocktails for $10! Can't beat that with a bat!

Really great place, I got the burger, the best fries. Service authentic nice waitress. Definitely worth it.

Popped into Hole in Wall after there was absolutely no more space inside at Sauced right up the street. It actually worked better for my friend and I to come to Hole in the Wall because it was wayy nicer and not as sweaty lol. When we arrived on a Friday evening we were quickly seated. The ambience was really nice in here with the bar lit up and live performers singing some of my favorite Erykah Badu songs. What I will say is that I wished that they had a coat rack or something because the tables were so close and my coat was so big that I had to keep it in my lap the whole night. Our food and drinks were good nothing too special. I enjoyed my espresso martini and the fries/brussel sprouts that we shared. I appreciate how patient they were with my friend and I. We hadn't seen each other in awhile so our quick dinner turned into 3 hours of talking and we were the last ones in there. They were kind and didn't rush us out or make us feel awkward. Thanks Hole in the Wall

AllFunNewYork from Instagram! Went to this place on a Friday early! And guess what!!! They had happy hour early! Happy hour - 4-6 pm M-F Cocktails $10, Beers 5 and some light bites! On the Friday we went was all day HH! so maybe call if you feeling like brunching early ok a Friday with HH :) Everyday is brunch day at @holeinthewall We had the following: 1. Chilli Scramble Eggs - added Avocado obv delicious! 2. Spicy Shrimp Vodka Rigatoni - So Goood!!! Does have a spicy kick so be aware! 3. Paloma Royale - Everything was delish and the service was very good! There is a relax and chill vibes which I liked a lot! Shot cool place!

Very great place to come and eat. I came and ate solo which was totally doable as there was bar space and some empty tables. The highball was okay, not super strong but luckily the espresso martini I ordered after was pretty good. The truffle fries were great, no complaints! The spicy shrimp vodka rigatoni was a delight, so flavorful and I liked the little texture of crunchiness. Shrimp was great too, I cleaned up the plate and maybe could have done without the fries as it was really filling.

I've been here twice and gotten the same dish - spicy shrimp rigatoni - and totally loved it. The burger is also pretty good but nothing memorable. It's a nice, cool atmosphere (the kind of place you might go for drinks or a slightly swanky dinner with friends) and have always seated us without reservations! Unfortunately the service I've experienced here has been less than ideal. The second time we went, we weren't checked in on once after receiving our meals. We waited for what felt like 30 mins for the waiter to even notice us to get the check. It was only slightly busy.

Back at Hole in the Wall this AM and was pleasantly surprised when I tried their waffles. They have a Panna cotta vanilla whipped cream that normally goes on top but I asked for it on the side. Although I didn't enjoy it, my partner loved it and ate my left overs smothered in the panna cotta. He also said his Brekkie Roll "slapped" and he got the same thing last Thursday. Finally our server was great. She was the only one serving and bartending on a busy Thursday AM. I didn't catch her name but she was great!!

Food was good, but very expensive for what you get. Iced coffee was delicious though and service was great! Decent ambiance for a Sunday brunch (:

Came here for brunch on a sunny Saturday morning. They have a several covered outdoor seating that we to advantage of. We had the pull pork Benedict and chili scrambled eggs. We both really like the pull pork Benedict, where the pork was tender and quite flavorful. The chili scrambled eggs had a great spicy kick to it.

Hole in the Wall is quintessential brunch. They have all the usual dishes, all done well, as well as more unique dishes specific to the chain. The avocado toast is my go to. I highly recommend adding the halloumi to any dish. I miss the hash brown, which they discontinued. The servers are all lovely. I've done outdoor seating with my dog several times and they're always offer to get him water and the like. In one past trip, when there was a tech glitch and our order had a large delay, they sent out a free round of drinks and fries for the table.

Just casually walked in for a late brunch, managed to get the last outdoor table and it was a great choice for a spontaneous brunch. The food was typical brunch food with a significant flavor twist. Each dish had a unique flavor profile or sauce that turned what would be an average brunch option into something that really hits the spot. I ordered the brekkie roll and I think between that and the mushroom toast were outstanding. Highly recommend this spot whether you make a reservation or not for brunch!

Again the music is too loud my friend didn't enjoy there. I also felt I went to the Disco. Lol I saw the male waiter isn't so clean. Bomber hair curly I preferred other waiters. In the bathroom, So many papers on the floor. I hope managers should read it. To be honest I don't like eat out in Williamsburg Brooklyn so much. Services and atmosphere reasons. For these views, I prefer Manhattan better in general.

The pictures speak for themselves. Amazing food, drinks and music. Zach & Danielle were such fun and nice bartenders. We trusted milo to surprise us with our entree and he did not disappoint. Quinoa bowl and market salad were so delicious, no need for a dishwasher the way we cleaned our plates, left no crumbs!! Definitely made our night!! Will be back 10/10.

This place is always super crowded whenever I pass by during weekend brunch hours, but I got lucky with plenty of tables at noon on a Sunday! The Brazilian sunrise ($14) is a tasty twist on a mimosa, highly recommend. The Bloody Mary had a kick the way I like it, but pretty watery. As for food, the pulled pork benedict ($19) is a must-try; the Hollandaise sauce here is some of the best I've had. It's so rich and creamy. The Brekkie roll ($17) was average.

I've come here numerous times for dinner, happy hour, late night, and now for brunch. This place is an absolute gem. Decided to try the cheesy burger, and it was cooked exactly to my liking. The truffle fries with the garlic aioli is just super tasty and addicting. That aioli is what makes those fries soooo good. Also had the avocado smash with a poached egg and that was quite tasty, bread was toasted but wasn't hard which was refreshing. And for drinks, tried the Paloma (I forgot the name) but it's on their cocktail menu and that was VERY STRONG & also tasty. Restrooms are gender neutral, music isn't so loud and the ambiance itself is just chill and relaxed. Will continue to come to this place again and again. Try their signature Hole'd fashioned and definitely have the espresso martini, thank me later

This review is for brunch only. I live around the neighborhood and this is one of my go-to spots on the weekends. I usually just walk in (but you can make reservations online) and I don't think I've ever waited more than 30 minutes for a table for two people. There's also plenty to do around this area if you have to wait. There's also some outside seating in the front (some partially covered and some not) that is great on warmer days. Service has always been great and the ambiance is really nice. Casual, yet trendy, yet neighborhood vibes. I usually always order the same thing: -Matcha Latte w/ oat milk: perfectly foamy. And perfectly matcha - not too bitter or earthy tasting. -Wild Mushroom Toast: sometimes I add bacon. But even without the bacon, this is so so good. If you love mushrooms, you will probably love this. The egg is perfectly yolky and they give a generous heaping of mushrooms. I've also tried the Smoked Salmon Lox Toast. I wish there was more cream cheese and capers, but this was quite good and I'd order again. Another popular one that I haven't tried, but people I've gone with have is the Chili Scrambled Eggs. They've all enjoyed this dish!

I came here with my Tippler pass and love the decor and the day to night concept. Their cocktails and good are delicious and this location is very trendy right in the heart of Williamsburg.

Such a cute vibe. Walking distance to the opera house so after parking our car we walked to find a place to eat. Ordered the pork roll and broccolini. The waiter was so nice. Such a cool spot

Really cute place . Just came for lattes . I had the matcha latte with oat milk and simple syrup . What I loved most is that it wasn't extremely hot where I couldn't drink it but it was nice and warm and not overly bitter . The ambiance is really nice and in the am they do brunch and breakfast and close for a bit and then at 5 they start dinner . Really cute place

Loved everything about my brunch experience at Hole in the Wall. Everyone who worked there was so friendly and the restaurant was airy and bright. The Bloody Mary and my iced coffee hit the spot (so much so I had two of both). The mushroom toast had a wonderful kick and the avocado toast was the perfect addition for the table. Will definitely be back (and no reservations needed!)

Service was great with friendly staff. The drinks we ordered were some of the best I have had. Bees knees was mine and I would have ordered another of we werent on our way to another spot. Highly recommend and next time we will have to not go full and try the food. The pasta dishes the table next to us looked and smelled amazing

I visited this place 3 times in the span of 2 weeks. It's that good. The staff here go above and beyond, so first off, kudos to them!! The food is . I have not been disappointed by anything I've tried on the food menu yet, a streak I hope to continue. I will recommend this place to people for as long as it exists because if you can't tell by my reviews, I am pretty critical about food. This place hits the mark and I hope their menu changes will continue to be innovative and most importantly, yummy.

this place is now sushi on me - brooklyn location!!! yelp, please change it

Still the best in the neighborhood. Food, drink, vibe all 10/10. Fun energy with wall to wall tuuuunes all day. Shout out to Andy, ET, Caitlin and big bustling Barry the big boss who always turn it up to deliver some of the funniest and most friendly service you'll get this side of the Mississippi. Oh, and their cocktails could paint the front fence at your grandmother's guest house!!!!

I came here for brunch because I heard this place was Australian and I've never had Australian brunch--ultimately I'm not sure how this differed from the traditional brunch besides the use of the word "brekkie" but it was a quality experience nonetheless! We arrived around 12pm on a Saturday and were able to get a table for 3 right away. I wasn't too hungry so I split the chili scramble as well as a pistachio milk latte.This was my first time having pistachio milk but I couldn't taste any pistachio flavour--it tasted a lot like regular milk. The chili scramble was good, although a little too cheesy for my taste and not spicy like the name implies. I didn't try the brekkie roll but I had some of the sweet potato fries which might actually have been my favorite part of the meal. I also tried a sip of the cucumber spritz and it was enjoyable and not too strong. Service was awesome throughout and the ambience was really nice. Our table was outdoors and their corner location makes this a great spot for grabbing a bite and people-watching.

Cute spot in prime Williamsburg area. My friend and I came here for an early dinner on a weeknight. They have a pretty big outdoor set up in addition to the tables and bar seating indoors. We took advantage of the happy hour still going on and both ordered the El Diablo, which was pretty refreshing. For our mains we shared the HITW Caesar salad with added fried chicken and the reginetti with shrimp and spring peas. The salad was a bit soggy, a little too much dressing, but the fried chicken was good. The pasta was better and had a generous serving of shrimp. Service was friendly but could have been a little more attentive.. refilling water, checking in. Overall, we had a positive experience but I wish I'd come to try brunch instead of dinner.

Situated in a refurbished corner of architectural heights, Hole in the Wall is anything but a hole in the wall. High ceilings, tall columns and wide open dining space. Our lively group of birthday celebrators sat outdoors in the outdoor structure very similar in pine wood boards, which most restaurants have constructed during these pandemic times. Food portions are large and meant to be shared, which we gladly obliged. We were stuffed in the end. Beautiful Rosé wine flowed all evening in pale dry pink and coral hues as we made another toast. Servers were attractive, well versed in the sumptuous offerings, and quick on the mark to make the evening lovely. Williamsburg is humming and buzzing again, and we are grateful. Enjoy!

Came on the recommendation of a friend. Got the H'oled Fashion which was great. Really liked the little twist to a typical old fashioned. Would've gotten that drink again. My wife got the bees knees which was just ok, it was kinda unexpectedly tart which was surprising given the honey in the drink. Service was a little slow too unfortunately So that combined with a really small menu actually means i'm not sure we'd come back. Feel like I'd be coming just for the one same drink all the time.

The espresso martinis are amazing. Hole in the wall is a super cute restaurant with great vibes to enjoy some great drinks. When I sat at the bar, I noticed that most people at the restaurant had ordered an espresso martini so i figured it was worth a try. Definitely one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had. Next time I for sure need to try their food

Australian restaurant with a simple menu that packs a punch. Service and staff were all great. Their food was on point every bite I took. The quality of my oat milk latte was just how I usually expect it to me. I would definitely come back here again!!!

Good vibes! The music, ambiance, decor and drinks were great but most importantly, cutsomer service was amazing. I'd definitely return and take my friends with me.

This restaurant is a cross between restaurant, cafe, and bar. I really liked seeing some people coming in for a morning coffee, others coming to work, or others catching up with friends like I was. I had the Chicken BLAT lettuce wrapped and subbed the fries for scrambled eggs. The waitress made my substitutions easy and didn't make me feel like I was requesting too many changes. My friend had the Chili Scrambled Eggs with Bacon. We both really enjoyed our meals! Definitely recommend if you are looking for a nice weekend meal or catching up with friends.

Food was basic and the service was quick. Like the wanted to turn tables over quickly. So I felt rushed. The pulled pork Benedict was different and really good though.

One of my favorite brunch spots in Williamsburg. The chili scrambled eggs is the star and you all should just try that it's so yummy! Great service with friendly staff. Highly recommended! Chili scrambled eggs

My boyfriend and I received very little service from very nice people. The best service we got was the one time the waitress approached our table to check on us and we asked to close out. Other than that, we sat with empty glasses for 20 minutes. My espresso martini was way too strong and tasted bitter. I waited for someone to come by so I could ask to have it altered, but my boyfriend had to get up and approach the bar to get attention from a server to get another drink for himself and ask for assistance with my drink. Normally a bar would offer to remake the drink but the server handed me simple syrup to pour into my martini myself. After watching every other table get serviced and ours ignored, we decided to skip out on food and head over to The Levee. We wont be heading back over here. Thanks.

Love the staff here, always creating a fun vibe. Great spot whether you're after a morning coffee, brunch or a night cap. Angels flat whites never disappoint!

Stumbled upon here while walking around. Just got drinks, had an aperol spritz. The overall vibe is amazing, checked out the food menu and can't wait to come back for lunch or dinner!

I've wanted to try this place for a while after peeking in a few months ago. Finally had the opportunity to stop in for dinner last night. We started with one of their cocktails, El Diablo which was nice and a glass of wine. We ordered two starters and one entree, all to share. We had the Salt & Pepper Squid (calamari), the Crispy Pork (I believe it was pork belly), and the Orecchiette Pasta. All were excellent, however, my fave was the Crispy Pork. We were full. :) Atmosphere and service was very good and the place was clean. Prices were also reasonable and portion sizes were on the generous side. Definitely will go back. :)
