The Grey Dog - Flatiron

Went to sit down with a group of 6 and even though the restaurant was packed, the host did a really good job accommodating us. He was friendly, welcoming, and super nice, which set an amazing impression from the start. We were able to sit within 30 minutes, and service was quick despite the bustle inside.The interior of the restaurant is cozy and gives a nice homey feel, and the atmosphere is perfect for brunch especially on a cold day. The fried chicken and Johnny cakes were delectable. The cornmeal pancakes were so pleasant with texture and flavor that my partner was thinking about them the rest of the day. Personally, the fried chicken was not my favorite; however, I like that they used a different breading than what I normally see for a breakfast fried chicken. All in all, for the price point of being in NYC as a nice restaurant, the experience this meal was affordable and delectable!

I met a friend a friend here for lunch today and had a great time. I had The Grey's Dog Breakfast (scrambled eggs, home fries, pancakes and bacon); for $19 it's a great deal. I also got an espresso martini. My friend had the salted caramel pancakes and a house iced team. She wanted a mocktail but unfortunately they were all out. All the components of my dish were delicious. They make really great pancakes here. The espresso martini was ok. The real star of the show were the salted caramel pancakes. My friend cut me a huge chunk to try and they were AMAZING. I told my fiancé I need to bring him just so I can get these pancakes. The interior is nice and service was great. I can't wait to come back to get the salted caramel pancakes. I was also eyeing the mac and cheese and spiced Mexican hot chocolate for my next visit.

I absolutely love this place. This is our second trip to New York and we come eat here atleast once. The food is wonderful and I love their coffee ! It's such a vibe with really cool decor. The service has been really good , I have no complaints. We've done breakfast and lunch here and everything is delicious !

With their multiple locations throughout NYC, The Grey Dog has been holding their own as a go to Breakfast/ Brunch spot since 1996. What longevity! And from the looks of things I suspect they should be around for another 28 years. The Grey Dog has a comfortable Dive Bar type vibe, with cool music plus a bevy of staff that were efficient and energetic. For breakfast I was undecided between the Chicken and Waffles, which is not a usual for me or Grey Dog's breakfast. I ended up opting for the latter. The large platters consists of eggs any style, home fries, a choice of breakfast protein plus either French Toast or Pancakes. I asked if the Johnny Cakes (Cornmeal Pancakes) could be subbed instead, which was an easy yes. Choosing the Johnny Cakes, kicked up my breakfast flavors making it 10x's better than choosing Pancakes or French Toast. I noticed the pics on Yelp suggests that most choose either French Toast or regular Pancakes when opting for Grey Dog's Breakfast. If you're a fan of cornmeal type items then don't sleep on the Johnny Cakes! After breakfast, the question arose...'would you come here again?' I'd absolutely come back again, especially for the Johnny Cakes. :)

- friendly service- fast turnover time- tasty turkey and bacon jam sandwich- tasty hibiscus mimosa- likely environment- was quickly seated on a weekday at 11am- very delicious cheesesteak- I liked the sweet potato fries- they were out of mocktails- bottomless coffee - don't get this place confused with the grey, next door

The eggs and potatoes were really good. The cold brew and French toast - not so much. Service was good.

I walked in as a group of 3 on a Saturday morning at approximately 9:30am. We were seated immediately and shortly after the restaurant became packed at peak brunch hour. I ordered the breakfast bowl. The hummus at the bottom was fresh and good to spread onto the bread. The poached egg was cooked well. It was a very filling and healthy meal. It is a standard reliable family style American brunch restaurant that gets very busy and quite loud during brunch time. There is only one bathroom for the entire restaurant so the line can get quite long. We were rushed to pay the bill as they needed the table for the next party.

We came on a weekend and were able to be seated immediately outside. I always order the Grey Dog Breakfast, which comes with a good variety of items. I got the french toast, eggs, bacon, and home fries, and the portion size is filling. This time the service outside was a bit slow.

Walked about 10 blocks south to visit this cozy breakfast spot before heading over to check The High Line and The Vessel at Hudson Yards. I really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere as well as the delicious food (a veggie scramble for my partner and a chorizo scramble for me). Loved the decor; it took us a while to find our CA license plate among the 50 states on display, but we eventually did. Very cool place.

Cute small place with good options for lunch and breakfast. Hostess originally said 20 minutes or more wait which is fine on a busy morning, we went to a coffee place and got a text to come back within 5 minutes. Service was a tad slow, folks sat after our food order was in got their meals before ours with similar meals. Overall, the food was very tasty, the chicken was a bit tough in some places but the flavor was great.
