Jack's Wife Freda

Jack's Wife Freda is the brilliant lovechild of the grandson of two immigrants, Jack and Freda, who met in Johannesburg in 1930. The first location opened in 2011 and they have 5 locations in NYC now! This weekend was our third visit to the very busy Brooklyn location and, per usual, it lived up to the hype!! This diverse menu offers an eclectic selection of mastered dishes inspired by South Africa, Israel and NYC, complimented by imaginative cocktails. We began with the Sunshine on Carmine and Margarita Rocks cocktails and the Fried Halloumi as an appetizer. I have indulged in fried Halloumi before, but JFW takes it up several notches! The brilliant combination of mildly hot spice, sweet grapes and drizzle of EVOO are the perfect partner to this cheese turning what could lean heavy to a light and lovely explosion of flavor! It was so delectable it was hard not to request a second order!!! For our entrees we selected the Salmon a la Plancha and Peri Peri Chicken. The Salmon was expertly prepared, brushed with a slightly sweet, nutty and tangy sesame soy glaze, slivers of radish, toasted sesame seeds and served over the most delicious tender sauteed kale!! A perfect plate for these hot summer days.. substantially satisfying but not too imposing The Peri Peri Chicken was incredible! A spatchcock chicken boasting a citrusy/spicy flavor, roasted to perfection but still tender and juicy! Served with a bright diced cucumber salad to offset the heat from the sliced jalapenos that top this beautiful chicken, it was a true culinary delight!!! Last, we decided to give Noam’s Malva Pudding a try after our attendant provided a spot-on flavor description. This very delicate, fluffy and light South African sponge cake is soaked in a sweet caramel syrup and served with a generous amount of fresh whipped cream. The cake was tender and vanilla forward and the whipped cream was not overly sweet, so it complimented the cake without overpowering the star of this incredible treat! I am always stoked when a restaurant maintains what made it outstanding for the long haul. JFW is one of those places..consistently delicious!! If you have not yet had the pleasure..do not wait another second, this NYC gem is well worth the visit!! I suggest a reservation, though walk-ins are welcome, as this place draws a crowd!!

Everything was so good! The food, service, atmosphere. Overall just a very pleasant experience. We love our server, she was very helpful and polite, also thoughtful. The seating was very comfortable and it’s def one of those restaurants you would have to try when you’re in NYC! Nothing but praise. I ordered salmon burger with fries, it was so good. My mom had chicken schnitzel m, it was also very good. But the cherry on top was the pumpkin spice coffee. OMG you have to try!!! I want to drink 2 of those. I ordered light syrup but it was already very good.

I’ve been to the Soho location in the past so I figured I’d try out Brooklyn. True to my experience in Soho, it felt like I had just stepped into a quaint European cafe! The light airiness was super refreshing. While the food and drinks were good…it was our server Emmy who made our experience truly special. Right off the rip, she greeted us with a big smile and listened to us gripe about our horrible hotel experience. She even offered suggestions for other hotels on our next visit. When Emmy found out that my friend loves K-Pop and Asian food, she told us about a market a few blocks away that was a must visit. We took her advice and my friend was in heaven. We called the restaurant after to thank Emmy for the suggestion, which I’m guessing took her by surprise. To commemorate our exceptional experience, I bought one of your striped t-shirts and will wear it with pride. Thank you Emmy for delivering such perfect service and more importantly a memorable experience…you made our day! We hope to see you on our next visit to Brooklyn.

$40 is absolutely ridiculous for 2 side steaks and some eggs. Jack’s wife freda used to have a “spend $35, save $15” on Uber Eats, which made sense for this amount of food. However, they upped the price of both the steak and eggs, which makes this laughable. I will not be purchasing anything from Jack’s Wife Freda anymore until they stop price gouging their loyal customers who uber eats from them ever since day.

I live next to Jack's Wife Freda and used to be a regular customer. Unfortunately, I’ve had to stop dining there after personally witnessing a significant rodent issue in their backyard area. As a neighbor, I’ve observed the problem firsthand and have seen city-issued summons related to it. It’s disappointing to see such disregard for basic sanitation standards. From a health and safety perspective, I do not recommend this restaurant.

Food is sooo delicious. It’s perfect for families with children. They have drawings paper and stickers for them. As well as a great kids menu. Fried zucchini chips are beyond delicious and the children schnitzel was a great success!

Great food, great selection, prices are a bit on the up… BUT the quality is 100% there. The menu is a bit chic, as in geared towards a demographic with a much smaller appetite, per se — in other words, smaller portions. The model feels like a hybrid between fine dining (the menu) and casual traditional (the service). Either way, super chill as always, super tasty, and always worth a visit.

After living in the city for 10 years, I finally tried Jack's Wife Freda, and I'm glad I did. I wanted to sit inside but it was packed, so I ended up outside. When I asked about umbrellas, they said city rules didn’t allow them, though I’ve seen other cafes with umbrellas this season, so I’m not sure about that. Got pretty roasted even with sunscreen. On the non-literal bright side, the food and drinks were great. My dog accidentally bumped the table and knocked over our drinks, and two staff members immediately came over. They were not just quick, but genuinely kind and understanding. They brought new drinks without us even asking. Only downside is they also cleared our food before we were finished. Still, the vibe was really pleasant. Other diners seemed unusually nice too, which I always think says something about the place.

My recent visit to Jack's Wife Freda in Williamsburg was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel instantly comfortable. The decor strikes the perfect balance between charming and trendy, with a lively yet cozy ambiance that's ideal for a relaxing brunch. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of my dining experience was seamless and enjoyable. For my meal, I decided to try the highly recommended Rosewater Waffle, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The waffle itself was perfectly light and fluffy, with just the right hint of rosewater adding a unique floral note that made it stand out from any other waffle I've had before. The toppings complemented it beautifully, creating a perfect blend of sweet and fragrant flavors that made every bite an absolute delight. Beyond the food, I was truly impressed by the overall experience at Jack's Wife Freda. The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes, each crafted with high-quality ingredients and a thoughtful approach to flavor. The restaurant's energy is upbeat without feeling overwhelming, making it a great spot for both a leisurely brunch with friends or a solo meal to enjoy some peaceful indulgence. I left feeling completely satisfied and already eager to return to explore more of their menu offerings. Jack's Wife Freda has definitely earned a spot on my list of must-visit restaurants in Williamsburg!

LOVE. Came for the cauliflower but ended up getting the rosewater waffle after getting my braces tightened in the area. Ha! Good service. Cute ambiance. Probably the best waffle I've had in my life. Whoever is back there making that thang is doing their thang. The batter was ba-tter-ing.

We didn't have a reservation (note to self for next time), but even so, the 15-minute wait was well worth it. The experience from start to finish was phenomenal. My daughter raved about the burger, calling it divine. I ordered the butternut squash soup, and it was absolutely perfect--smooth, flavorful, and comforting. My daughter's friend had two children's meals: the mini burgers and chicken cutlets, both of which were a hit. One of the biggest surprises? The pita. I have never tasted pita that soft, gooey, and buttery--it was truly something special. Jack's Wife Freda delivered on every level--delicious food, warm ambiance, and efficient service. I'll definitely be back (and making a reservation next time)! Highly recommend.

A few years ago, I had brunch at Jack's Wife Freda's SoHo location, and remembered enjoying the food and the vibe. So when I saw they opened up a restaurant in Williamsburg, I knew I had to check it out. My table started with the roasted cauliflower; it was a simple dish, with capers and garlic dressing, but something I would likely reorder in the future. For my entree, I got the grilled eggplant baguette. The eggplant and tomato tasted fresh, as did the mozzarella. I'm not a huge fan of olives, but the olive tapenade wasn't overpowering. It combined well with the pesto and the sandwich's other ingredients. For dessert, I had the flourless chipotle chocolate cake. I didn't detect any "chipotle" flavor, but to be honest, I didn't mind - the cake was delicious, the mousse was rich and chocolatey, and it was a memorable way to end our lunch at Jack's Wife Freda.

Such a great brunch spot! The service was spectacular for how busy the restaurant was. Love the menu options! The cantaloupe mimosa was refreshing and amazing

Came here for brunch and was excited to try it given that it seemed quite popular, but sadly I left feeling like it was overpriced for what we got. My friend got Jack's breakfast (steak, eggs, potatoes), which was $30 and laughably came with only two tiny potatoes and not even a full slice of bread. I got the Mediterranean breakfast (eggs, salad, pita), which was just so-so. Most of my dish was cold and in retrospect I wish I had gotten a warmer entree. The inside had a bougie ambience and service was pleasant, so it has that going for it!

Came here for brunch on a weekend. Got the chicken sandwich and madame Freda below. Definitely super packed and busy, will probably have to wait 10-15 mins depending on how big your party is. The portion size for their prices could be improved for sure. The food is great and tasty but not worth their big prices. The servers were super nice and helpful. Also a big family friendly place, which means lots of kids. Would recommend coming on a weekday to avoid the kids and the craziness on a weekend. Overall cute place but mostly for the aesthetic.

Food is good. A bit pricey for a chain. Service was very impersonal considering they sell themselves as a cozy, homey, experience. Ambiance was as expected.

Perfect spontaneous breakfast I truly enjoyed w my wife at 830am on a Monday! We were the first and staff were already vibrant and welcoming. Can always appreciate that. Our coffee and cappuccino were free with our meal! Love a deal! Started with the whole roasted garlic with the beautifully toasted baguette. Garlic was smooth for spreading. Delicious. Jacks breakfast was perfectly cooked skirt steak. About the size of an average hand, for reference. The green sauce for it also took it to another level, however, not needed. Mayas breakfast bowl was perfect for someone like ME who is ALWAYS finding a way to get in all their veggies. Kale was tossed in something. maybe lemon and a bit of oil. Was perfect since kale can be a bit on the rougher side. spaghetti squash not overly cooked. Still crunchy. Roasted tomato; not my thing, I hate tomatoes, so can't comment on that. Avocado was PERFECT! Coarse salt sprinkled over it was a nice detail. Poached eggs were phenomenal. Radish garnish for texture. Also ate that all up! The duck bacon was an amazinggggggg addition to my meal for some extra salt flavor. Now, that HOT TODDY. I'm not a tea drinker at all. I hate tea. Tastes like dirty water. But the hot toddy tastes like the best cup of tea I've ever ever had in my life. The bourbon is obviously what every cup of tea is missing!

This is an awesome and quaint spot with great lighting and not too loud. The food selection is really good with a wide range of chicken and veggie dishes and just the right serving sizes. I ordered the zucchini chips to start and they have amazing flavor! The alcoholic drinks are perfect too. Their wait staff is very friendly make you feel at home. Would definitely return here.

Went to the location in soho had the wings, had a drink ate outdoors the place was crowded and is always crowded which Is why I stopped by. Very happy atmosphere friendly staff I think the wings were peri peri, very tasty. I believe it was on Lafayette Ave near 6 train.

- Way too expensive with small portions; the cost to portion size is a joke - We ordered the $15 fried zucchini chips to compensate for the small portions, which were also just criminally overpriced - Friendly service and a cozy spot - Food was by and large delicious, but I left feeling a bit ripped off. If you're going to spend $130 on brunch, you can do better than this place. Don't think I'll be returning.

I've only been to the soho spot prior to this visit and had no clue this was a franchise with four locations. The food is still quite yummy and clearly they have a great chef who know how to execute the menu and be consistent. The stars are just for the quantity and pricing. Pictured is (,) sad jacks breaksfast with a joke sized beef and the tiniest piece of bread they could possibly cut. Also the meat was more well done than medium rare as requested. Again super yummy but that does not justify $$. Overall this is definitely a go to spot only if you aren't hungry one bit and want to spend family time with family or strangers and have a spritzer or two. Oh and get the sponge cake! It's not at all one but a bread pudding but it is definitely a worthy sponge cake. This cake deserves to be made per request and to have homemade flavored cream (not bought from a wholesaler) but definitely still consuming as is :)

The ambiance at JWF always delivers what is presented! I love to sit on the sidewalk, except on the worst of heat advisory days, and enjoy watching the hustle and bustle of the service team and the chitchatting and engagement of the diners and the people walking through the sidewalk and in the neighborhood. When inside the establishment, there is a fair amount of music and clickety clickety of dishes and such, but that all adds to what is expected of such a wonderful establishment. JWFs food has always met the mark for me personally, as well as for the majority of my family. I could honestly say I can recall only one time that I was a bit disappointed because my roasted garlic was a little bit overdone, but of course, the slightest mention of it and things were remedied quickly. Service at JWFs is high level, personable, and also meets my needs has a person with food, allergies. Though I know their menu well, staff is always quick to assure me they will do double checks when they take my order to be sure nothing has changed that would impact me in a negative way! If you're looking for my go to, I always like Meyers's breakfast, with the eggs on a separate plate to give to my grandson! Another go to is their Prego steak as a side, teamed up with the shareable vegetable options or a salad. Before my allergen days , matzoh ball soup was always a standard for me, An additional thing to be said about JWFs is how child friendly they are. My grandson loves the varied options. He has given to keep him entertained from the moment he walks in the door, from a menu that is engaging and colorable to build your own robots or put the stickers on the animals postcards. I highly recommend any location of JWFs! I could say I have been to all of them and the high standards are seamless across the locations.

- friendly service - bright environment - wife did not like shashushka - vegetable curry was really good and something new - chicken skewer complemented the curry - tasty melon champagne, also something new - $10 drink happy hour starting at 3pm on a weekday - cocktails are delicious and well made - duck bacon is good, but portion is small - sponge cake for dessert was delicious - staff is on point with the service - $118 lunch for too can get pricey - not that busy on a weekday afternoon - pleasant outdoor dining

The vibe of the restaurant is wonderful with attentive staff. The Green Shakshouka and Matzo Ball Soup tasted great. Will be returning!

Waiters don't care and does the basics without any heart. The spaghetti and meatballs dish was very salty. Don't order that. I actually want to like the place but the place didn't care for my business.

Had a brunch with my friend on a Sunday. It was a good experience. Just an FYI they won't seat you until your entire party arrive regardless if you reservation or not. We both had salmon burgers and they were delicious we had also lots of coffee lol it's busy. There is also outside seating in the sidewalk and in the booth. Everytime I would passed this place, it would sooo busy. It was worth of checking it out

I've been here twice for brunch, and this place is nice. Cozy, welcoming, and trendy, this is a good place to meet up with a friend, the in-laws, or even a large group thanks to the big communal table. The outdoor shed is heated and bright, but I certainly recommend getting a table inside. All the food I've tried is good: From the poached eggs with grilled halloumi cheese, to the green shakshuka; from the breakfast sandwich to the rosewater waffle. Prices are not cheap, but that was expected. Great service, with super-attentive yet unintrusive servers. If you come for brunch, it gets very busy late in the morning, and then things quiet down a bit at around 12 noon. Also, I like how they go the extra mile to make kids feel welcome here: They have a kids' menu with all items at $10, and the back of the menu itself is designed to be used for drawing. If you have kids, they will also give you crayons and a card with stickers for your kid to play with (one card had a pig, another nard had a dog).

Be aware! This is Chicken Shnitzel for 27$ ! It was as thin as a sheet of paper...Not worth it for this price at all ! Burger was "ok" but only one thin slice of tomato plus half of onion ring inside.

Food was great and beautifully presented. Staff was efficient, courteous, and congenial Was there with a party of 25... a wedding rehearsal brunch, All went smoothly....perfection,

We were starving and it was 10° outside and this was 800 ft away so naturally we ran inside. SO GOOD. We got the poached eggs with roasted tomatoes, gremolata, and grilled halloumi and the eggplant sandwich with French fries. Poached eggs were PERFECT -- firm but still a little runny. Halloumi was a dream Eggplant sandwich was so delish esp because the eggplant was so perfectly grilled. The pesto was perfect and the mozzarella was the ideal addition. Fries were perffff Would def come here again, and am glad we came here because I've been meaning to visit the Manhattan locations for a while now!!!

open early around 8:30am. Good atmosphere and energy. it's excellent to come by when the weather is nice like 80'F days! you can find a seat outside or inside. Drink order will come about 5min. Open kitchen you can see while barista is making your drink. But I don't think you can stay here for a long time at this restaurant.. several serves kept asking us "is everything ok?" Multiple times Omg, Lol and it distracted our Conversations time to time. (Didn't servers notice that what they were doing?) We didn't have such experiences in NYC. It's kinda disappointed. :'( this place. I've no cited they were doing for the Next table as well but they didn't do to all...I'm Not Quite sure what was the issues. I don't think the waiters kept coming back and force multiple times. We didn't give a lot of tips cuz of this. / although we usually Leave Quite a lot....... They won't let enjoy Us that's not a really fair. We aren't sure if we come back here! B32 Bus is around the Corner when you need to Take JMZ Marcy stop this is what you need :) / walking Distance from Bedford ave sta L or NYC ferry ride.

This is the only Jack's Wife Freda location that I've gone to that wasn't absolute chaos on the weekend! We came at prime brunch time on a Saturday and had no problem getting a table. The bloody Mary ($14) is always a great choice here and it has a good amount of kick. The Bianca ($15) was a little too sweet for my taste. The salt & pepper eggplant ($14) was a great appetizer, super crispy! Maya's Breakfast Bowl ($23) was absolutely delicious; loved the green sauce. The poached eggs with tomato and haloumi ($18) was okay, but super small. I was unfortunately still hungry afterwards, although everything tasted great. Service was attentive as well.

Absolutely delicious! Cute spot. Got the zucchini chips - crispy and soft on the inside. Madam Freda - yummy, like the runny egg. Chicken kebab - very fresh tasting. Loved the spicy sauce with it. Pricey (18-24 dollars per plate) but I think worth it for a weekend brunch!

Absolutely delicious. We ordered the chicken wings, halloumi, salt and pepper eggplant and butter lettuce salad (house salad?) watermelon spritzer (forget the true name) and a rose. Unique pairings that make the dishes sing - halloumi had cut grapes , for example - superb. Very high quality olive oil in the dressing and on the dishes. Vibe was airy and fun since it's summer. Not packed on a Friday night late which was ideal. Super worth checking it out! Thanks chef!

I really love this place. The staff are nice and the food quality is great. Whether you want to dine solo or eat with friends/family, it's a cozy and inviting spot. Never a huge wait and not overhyped.

YUM!! i had heard great things prior to coming here.. but service was so good & food was amazing. Would recommend :)

This is one of the most kid friendly place in the neighborhood. The staff are always so friendly and so sweet to my little boy. They give stickers, crayons, and a fun little water cup for the kiddies and it's always so fun for my little one. The service is quick and everything is so good! We get the zucchini chips, chicken schnitzel sandwich, shashuka, and/or meatball pasta dish. Their breakfast menu is SO good. Honestly you can't go wrong here. We absolutely love this place!!

This is a review for their delivery food, I did not go into the restaurant. I ordered through Uber Eats because there was a 2 for 1 deal on the Peri Peri Wings, which I was curious about. Serving size was 76wings per regular order ($16). The Chicken was clearly grilled properly and the quality of the meat was there but boy was that a flavorless wing. How a wing could be so flavorless while also tasting so charred is beyond me. The Peri-Peri sauce was similarly devoid of any spice - I actually had to mainline a spoon of Cholula from my fridge just to confirm I hadn't lost my sense of taste ahead of a round of covid ! Ultimately, all this - from the price to the seasoning - is understandable, given their clientele and locations, but what really shocked me was the side item I ordered to hit my $25 order minimum, the duck bacon. In the photo on Uber Eats the Duck Bacon looks like a strip of slab meat, similar to what you might find at Peter Luger's other upscale spots offering bacon as a side. What got delivered to me were three of the limpest, smallest excuse for a rashers I've ever seen in my life, let alone duck. $9 for less than 3 grams of food... wild

I absolutely loved loved my experience at this restaurant. First of all the staff was remarkably amazing, kind, attentive , informative, and extremely friendly. For example, when I mentioned I love the green sauce, the lovely young girl told me I got you and gave me a small container to go. That was just simply so thoughtful. Now let's talk about the food , we shared the beet hummus, which was ok- I wouldn't order it again; however the cauliflower was ammmmaazballsss!!! The cauliflower came with a delicious white sauce and capris - totally to die for. The avocado toast was perfect and my kids had steak burger with fries. Needless to say, I will definitely go back again.

I was pleasantly surprised that the food lived up to the hype! I met a friend here for dinner and the vibe is so cute and cozy. This place is perfect for a first date or catching up with a friend. I would definitely come here for a solo dinner as well. There's a great energy to this place and the staff is super friendly. The food is pretty impressive and really reasonably Priced. We got the fried zucchini appetizer and they were delicious! Not too oily and not over fried. They came with a great dipping sauce. For my main I got the prego roll which is basically a steak sandwich. It was delicious!! The steak was cooked to perfection and the arugula salad it came with was so refreshing. My friend got the chicken schnitzel which was a really generous portion and also delicious. The drinks are great here! They have a wide cocktail list that I was impressed by. I didn't see anything for dessert :( but maybe I missed it on the menu. Overall this is an adorable spot with great food/drinks!!

Good food, good service, but I was double charged for the sunshine on Carmine's cocktail.

If I could give this half a star that would be alot . Got the worst food poisoning from the salmon burger here on Wednesday. Doctor just sent back lab results. Shame to charge high prices for the size of your portions and small drinks. My buddy ordered steak and eggs and was shocked to see the portion. I've had food poisoning before and this is by far the worst I've experienced. Bummer Karen was a great server tho. Gracias Karen

This place had a very cute ambiance and we enjoyed time with friends, but unfortunately the cost to portion size was not worth it at all. The food was pretty bland and we left hungry and got more dinner later that night. I had the $18 house salad (no protein) - it was more of a side salad of romaine, half an avocado, and 4 slices of radish. Adding tofu would've been an additional $9 which felt wrong on principle. My boyfriend got the chicken kabob which he said was okay but also comically small. The grilled halloumi ($16) was yummy but came with 3 tiny slices for 4 people to share. I had a bite of my friends veggie curry bowl which was good, but also small and nothing to write home about. I know the city is getting more expensive in general, but overall this meal did not feel worth the cost and did not satisfy.

What a disappointment! Paid 30$ for a tiny breakfast that I can get a Dunkin donuts. Ordered a shakshuka that was at best just small plate of sunny side eggs with two small peaces of bread. The taste was same as regular eggs nothing specials. My friends that ordered different items also were disappointed. We left the place hungry and upset. P.S nobody even asked us is we liked the food and the coffee was sour. Not coming back. Bummer because I had high expectations.

Came here with my boyfriend and had an AMAZING time it was raining and we were looking for a place nearby and were so happy we found this spot! Highly recommend the duck bacon cheese and egg sandwich with fries they give us a free sauce to try everyone was just so friendly!!! The vibes were IMMACULATE best place to eat at on a rainy Sunday

This is not at all good. Being a popular spot, it's been on my radar for a while but this is the first time I went. Went there for breakfast and had the green shakshuka and added fries per the waitresses suggestion (we knew we were buying into the upsell but I would dip anything into a great shashuka happily). Okay so first of all, it's not shakshuka, it's fried eggs with a sauce poured over. The eggs are not cooked in the sauce, that was clear but can be forgiven. My partner and I both got the same thing and our eggs were inconsistently cooked. Okay can forgive that, it happens. The sauce ? Unforgivable. His was all chunks and thick and mine was watery. It was pretty clear that they just poured it out of a blender where you get the thick portions first usually and the rest is all the leftover liquid. Also the sauce tasted like nothing. Basically water with a hint of tomatillo in it. Also it was cold. Probably the worst shashuka or egg dish I have ever had. The French fries the waitress up sold to us came cold, undercooked and yet all burnt. Not to mention that their cold brew which was kind of watery costs $8, which is ridiculous. I don't understand the hype of this place unless maybe the lunch/ dinner is better? Or maybe the other locations are better? It seems to be like an instagram-able place that looks super cute but the food is an afterthought.

Was excited to take my wife to this restaurant, but turns out it was nothing special. Eggs were sub par, same with the coffee. Meh.

The food was yummy but unfortunately not worth the price. I'd recommend for a special occasion or if you have the money to spend

I've never heard of this place but a friend said it was one of those trendy restaurants so we went for brunch yesterday. It looks like you would expect, clean with fruniture and décor sponsored by West Elm. Service was good, our waitress was nice and helpful with the menu. My friend ordered a bloody mary which he said was delicious and a 4/5. I ordered a hot chocolate which was good but not good enough to cost 10$. We split the zucchini chip which were actually really good. They were a little thicker than I prefer but fried and crisped to perfection (4/5, but if you're looking for a better zucchini chip I recommend Kiki's in LES). For Brunch I ordered the duck bacon egg and cheese sandwhich (pictured) with fries. Now listen- I want everyone to know that I would NEVER spend 20$ on a bacon egg and cheese, however, I was treating myself yesterday so I was willing to overlook the price. With that being said... it was good... but I've also had better bacon egg and cheeses at a bodega, hell I've made better bacon egg and cheeses at home. Personally, it should've been bigger for the price and it was way too greasy for me. If you're gonna charge 20$ for a breakfast sandwhich atleast try to wow me with the presentation, I suggest a sauce or garnish. The portion to price ratio issue goes for all their dishes. Fries were okay, nothing to write home about. I was super hungover and delirious yesterday so my judgement was clouded in the moment but now that my mind is clear the next day I don't think I would come back on my own, maybe if a friend chose it but it's just not in my budget, my bills were affected and I'm a cheap date so I would've been happy (and probably more satisfied) with something from the bodega. There's nothing wrong with the restaurant per se, I just don't see the hype, seems more like a spot where you would find a local tiktoker if you're into that.

Food and service are awesome but the music level is that of a bar, could not converse with my friends over dinner

We loved this place. We came up for a short weekend trip and came in early Sunday morning. Cute inside but the food was also great. Servers were friendly and helpful with the menu. Definitely will be back.

Expensive place, but I guess if it's in Williamsburg, I can't really complain. The food size is acceptable. Good vibes if you're looking for a place to hang out and chat with your friends. The waiter was so nice and friendly.

Tasty food, friendly staff, pleasant location. I highly recommend it if you have the money!

This place has to be infamous by now. However, I enjoyed my meal here. I had the madame Freda and halloumi. They were both gorgeous , but you can't really go wrong. This place has beautiful food and ambiance. The service was great and is in a great area. The restroom was nice.

We selected to eat outside in the covered room. It was delightful. We had 3 different entres..Prego Roll, Duck Bacon, egg & cheese sandwich and the Grilled Eggplant Baguette. Go ahead & order a bottle of Cava w/ fresh cantaloupe juice and oj if you like. The cantaloupe mimosa was delicious. Prego Roll was wonderful with very tender meat. The BEC sandwich was very savory and wait for that tomato jam taste, it's the best. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Grilled Eggplant Baguette as every bite was a symphony! The coffee was great and hot. The sugar packets had the cutest sayings on them. It was a beautiful sunny day as we cabbed over from Chelsea and walked back on the Brooklyn Bridge. Great way to start our first day of holiday!

such friendly staff, but please label the spaghetti and chicken meatballs as spicy or something. or like hot. they were so damn spicy I was not happy :(

We sat outside with the fans keeping us cool which felt great. Lots of seating options. Food came out hot, quick and tasted spectacular. Could not have been more satisfied with our meal. Our server Lizzy was the big highlight. She was super sweet, helpful and completely took care of us from the moment we got there to the moment we left. She also recommended we try the duck bacon which we did not regret. Cannot wait to go back
