If you're in NYC and you want good food, then you've gotta stop by Grey Dog for a good breakfast or lunch. They have multiple locations and the food is definitely a winner. We went 2 days in a row and truly enjoyed the experience. Great service, great location, and great ambiance. A lot of good variety and hearty yet healthy options. You don't want to miss out on this great location. read more

We sat outside at The Grey Dog on a beautiful spring morning. We didn't have a reservation, but the host did a great job and we were seated after a short wait. Our server Cheyenne B was absolutely the best. So helpful and friendly, it really improved our entire experience. The coffee was wonderful, important on a weekend morning. The breakfast bowl was really delicious with a sauce that's out of this world. My wife really enjoyed her egg and cheese croissant. We started our day with full belliies and a warm feeling after enjoying our meal here read more

Been there twice. First time grilled cheese and creamy tomato soup. Very good and filling. Came back and just had the soup again. Perfect for lunch. I did notice I think the bread was better last time read more

I should visit Grey Dog more often - I have been to their Chelsea location, and I absolutely love the Mexican bowl. I came to their location in Flatiron. They seem to have the same menu. I didn't want to try anything new, so I ordered once the Mexican Bowl again. It is just so healthy and satisfying. The dish is comprised of perfectly cooked cilantro rice, smokey grilled Chipotle chicken, bright green avocado, refried beans, and the crunchy tortillas strips. I cannot get enough of this bowl. As for the ambiance - it's a lively and welcoming restaurant serving American food. It can get crowded and noisy. Overall, I do think they have excellent brunch/breakfast choices such pancakes, French toasts, omelettes, etc. Definitely try them out. read more

My boyfriend found this place that had amazing reviews. We made sure to get her early because there was definitely a wait after we got there. It was a really cute spot and the food was delicious! What made everything more magical was while we were eating, it began to snow. It was so pretty! The only downside was that a pitcher for mimosas was pretty pricey over $40. Other than that, we enjoyed ourselves and got some protein in before we walked the city more! read more

Highly recommend making a reservation because it was so packed! I arrived earlier than my friend and we weren't seated until she came. She was late though but they were able to seat us immediately when she did come.

We were a group of 7 people and wanted to get a nice breakfast on a weekend morning. Luckily New York seems to be a late waking city sorta, so by arriving around 8:30am we were able to get a table right away. The place was clean, service was very friendly, and all of our plates were delicious! Highly recommended! They were also very quick to refill our coffee. read more

This classic omelet was fantastic extremely fluffy and paired with a side of sourdough bread and home fries, you can't go wrong. The service was excellent. I ordered an iced matcha and didn't like it, and my server took care of it for me. Overall, it was a great dining experience. The only downside is that it gets a bit cramped and busy, so be sure to make a reservation, especially if you're dining with a party of more than two . read more

Strolled in with a group of 4 and was able to get seated without a reservation! The place was definitely packed, so we got lucky! They have a great happy hour so we took advantage and ordered some margaritas and apps to share. Standout apps include the spinach artichoke dip and the street corn! read more

$8 drinks & $9 bites 4-6:30 pm everyday! 6 locations across NYC. Ambiance is cozy with moody lighting (but not dark) and the service was efficient. Didn't get to try the food but the drinks were solid and for that price!! Unheard of in NYC. Will be back here & the other locations forever probably (and to try the food next time). read more

I recently went to The Grey Dog (my friend made a reservation for breakfast) and overall had a pretty mixed experience. On the positive side, we were seated relatively quickly, the food was really good, the prices felt reasonable, and everything came out fast. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the food. There were a few downsides though. The biggest issue at first was the waiting situation. There really isn't much of a waiting area, so while waiting to be seated, you're kind of crammed next to people actively eating. Since it was raining, waiting outside wasn't ideal either. We tried standing in the space behind the host stand and were immediately asked to move, which is fair, but it definitely highlighted the lack of space. Service was also a little inconsistent. The sugar wasn't already on the table, so we had to wait a bit to flag someone down for it. Not a huge deal, but a small detail that would've helped. We also got bottomless coffee, but our waiter rarely checked in. Another server eventually asked if we wanted refills when we were basically already done eating, which felt a little late. What honestly changed the experience for me though was an interaction with one of the hostesses. I got up to find the bathroom and while I was walking, one of the hosts (wearing pink) was walking extremely close behind me with another group she was seating. It felt awkward enough that I instinctively stopped and asked, "Sorry, is the bathroom this way?" and she just responded very flatly with "yup." No friendliness whatsoever. It was just a really uncomfortable interaction and the energy felt oddly dismissive. Thankfully, another hostess in a striped sweater noticed and kindly pointed out where the bathroom was, which I appreciated. Before that interaction, I honestly was willing to overlook the cramped waiting situation because I genuinely liked the food and atmosphere. But customer service really matters to me, and that interaction left a weird impression. It just felt unnecessarily cold and uncomfortable. I'd probably still come back for the food(maybe a different location?), but I do think the front-of-house experience could use some improvement. read more

Came for breakfast. Luckily beat the crowds. The service was good and the restaurant itself is nice. The food was okay. We ordered a hash with chorizo and it was just okay. Nothing crazy good. The coffee was solid and I'd probably be back because it wasn't gross or anything. read more

The Grey Dog - Flatiron - Grey Dog's Breakfast - French Toast, Scrambled Eggs, Home Fries, Avocado - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New York, New York

Hip, trendy, minimalist brick, cramped, really loud and uncomfortable seating.........with really good all day breakfast/brunch offerings. To be fair, I'm a mature adult former New Yorker who likes creature comforts, spacious, with great food and acceptable service. This was a party of 7 with a reservation on a busy Saturday AM. Not the best place for a conversation with people you haven't seen in a while due to noise and cramped. Particularly offensive was they are dog friendly and not restricted to service dogs only. Adjacent table was being seated with a non-service talk that was jumping on the table and not well behaved. Do you really want to eat off a table that a dog was jumping on? With that said the food was very good, but this place would not be one, if given the choice, I would return to. read more

Overall solid spot for eating an eclectic breakfast or lunch, depending on what you fancy. The menu is packed with options including a variety of salads, bowls, and sandwiches. The inside decor feels like you're on vacation with elements of a tiki bar and the feel that you're so close to the beach. The food was actually quite good. I ordered the breakfast bowl coming with hummus, avocado, and zucchini. The ingredients tasted fresh and packed full with a flavorful punch. Unfortunately substitutions were not really available (eg egg white) and it took a bit longer to get the attention of our waitress including for the check. Overall I would come back here and add it to my list of good restaurants for the area. But I would not break my neck just to get another table given all the variety that exists here in this part of town. read more

Very cute cozy cafe ambiance. Wooden tables, coffee bar, pretty atmosphere and warm lights. There's a fireplace but it wasn't on when I was there, but the heat was full on and warm. Came for lunch on a Saturday while in the wares. I got a matcha latte and chopped salad. Latte art was cute and plate was pretty, but the food wasn't anything spectacular. My salad was mostly raw chopped veggies, like raw cabbage, raw corn and zucchini chunks, no dressing or green leaves, so a little underwhelming for me but the poached egg was Perfectly poached and avocado was fresh. I thought it'd be more of a mixed salad chopped up into bite sized pieces like at Chop't, but it wasn't. It was still fresh and light and nice little bistro fare. My matcha also wasn't overwhelming, it was regular. The place was packed and bustling on a Saturday afternoon so it was very lively energy and kind of loud, but a fun atmosphere. Easy location close to the 28th St stop. read more

Visited on a rainy Sunday morning with a friend while in town. There was no wait but still pretty busy. Our waitress was attentive and quick with returning any request we made. The food was really good. Options were very good but not too fancy which would be good if you just want a nice flavorful breakfast without experimenting. Definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

We dared to try this place on our last day in the city, on a Sunday morning with no brunch reservations. And we were so glad that we did. We had maybe a 20 min wait and were given a table outside, right before the big rush and the Summer midday heat made an appearance. The food was really good. We had wonderful service as well. read more

This awful place. Still the worst service and food. Walk down a block and go to Smith, better food and service.

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 ! read more

Absolutely loved my visit to The Grey Dog - Flatiron! OMG! It's very cozy and has a rustic vibe. Ambiance: The ambiance and music is upbeat. Food: I had chilaquiles, which is one of their signature dishes - fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. Service: What really stood out was the friendly service and the welcoming atmosphere. Even the employee came by on his day with his family. He came by our table and asked how everything was. I asked if he was chef. And he said, no, I'm the manager. I was impressed that he came by our table and other tables to check on the customers. Nice touch. Can't wait to come back on my next visit to NY. read more

Great brunch! They were busy, but were able to seat me a little before Noon, and outdoors to boot. The service was good and the food even better. I ordered the breakfast bowl and side of breakfast potatoes, both fantastic. The bowl especially was great, as it came with quinoa, fresh and crispy vegetables, hummus, and avocado - all my favorites. It included buttered bread as well. A filling and healthy meal. The ambiance was nice too. Recommend! read more

I chose this place because they are dog friendly, but our Haru won't ever be, so we chose outdoor seating. The place was packed anyway and that wasn't a good scenario for Haru. It was a bit chilly on a tulip day in the city, but we had a very good hot chocolate from young vendor on the way here. We needed something ergonomically friendly. Their philly cheesesteak was perfect for that. I wish there more cheese in it. It came with fries t'was well-spiced. Nice staff, very accommodating and welcoming. Cool playlist. read more

The Grey Dog - Flatiron - Probably cozier in summer - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New York, New York

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. :) read more

Even though the restaurant was busy, we were able to walk in on a weekend morning and be seated immediately at one of the high top tables. Their outdoor dining shed was gone this time and it was my first time sitting inside at this location. The service was fast and friendly and the restaurant is casually decorated. I got the same thing I normally do, the grey dog breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon, and french toast, and everything is always consistently good and filling! read more

Good service and the food was delicious. I had the pancakes with chocolate chips and it was pretty good. the syrup is a must. chill look inside the building and it was very calm. could hear who I was talking to. read more

New York restaurants need to stand out or create an experience for diners to remember, and more importantly, to cause them to come back. The Grey Dog did just that, with a homey Midwestern feel but the tight-knit, New Yorker style layout where you need to squeeze by other guests. High quality meal, good portions, interesting decorations, welcoming staff. Be prepared to wait longer than expected/they tell you (was told 30 min and ended up being hour). Plan ahead on a busy brunch day for a solid meal. read more

Family of six and all of our food came out cold or room temperature, probably because our waitress took her break after we took our order. The bacon and seeded sourdough bread was delicious. We were never checked on and offered coffee refills. The menu looks good but unfortunately would not be worth returning for me. read more

What a cozy restaurant... I was staying nearby and needed a drink and a bite to eat and luckily noticed they had a happy hour menu going until 6:30p... got a great deal on a classic margarita and appetizer of sticky nugs, and also order the Mexican Bowl with chicken. The sticky nugs are unique... they're kind of liked bite sized chicken breast in a sweet sauce. I do feel that looking at the menu this is probably a better breakfast or lunch place, but coming in after work was a great choice as well. read more
