Most perfect soft scrambled eggs I've had. The sausage patties were seasoned/spiced great. Unique pancakes with a crispy exterior and gooey interior that truly did not need syrup.

Brunch

A 40min wait starting 9.30 am on a Sunday morning for what turned out to be a wholesome 2x2x2 - a full plate of griddle cakes, sausage, and scrambled eggs. I definitely didn't miss the syrup! Ingredients were super fresh and service was friendly! The wait outdoors on a hot sunny day, and slightly cramped and busy interiors is why I docked a star, but truly, this brunch spot deserves all the attention it is getting! Go brunch!

The hype is real, but come early. I've never had oatmeal griddle pancakes before but these are AMAZING. Literally my favorite pancakes in the city. I got the 2x2x2 for $18. I stuck with OG pancakes, sunny side up eggs, and chicken sausage. The pancakes have such crispy edges and the inside is gooey oatmeal batter. I wish i could buy the mix and make these at home. Come early to not wait in line for hours. We waited ~30 min around 930am.

Oatmeal Griddle pancake
Whitney D.

Came here on a random Tuesday and did not have to wait on a line at all. Now I know when I have passed by here there is always a line on weekends here though. You order and pay at the counter before sitting down at a table or the little bar seating area they have. There are not too many tables here. I wanted to try the og griddle cakes. I had no idea what to expect and didn't even think I would be able to have them due to all my food allergies. But I was able to try them. Came with melted cinnamon molasses butter which gave it alot of flavor. I also had a side of scrambled eggs. I would not get them again. Tasted a bit odd to me. But I would come bacl for the griddle pancakes but I would not wait on line for more than 20 min for this place. But, I would like to come back.

Pancakes are always on my mind, and when I saw the oat griddle cakes I knew I had to give them a try. We came around 11am on a Friday and there was a shortish line outside. You order at the counter before seating yourself. We got the griddle cake combo that comes with eggs and your choice of protein. I chose a soft scramble and the pork sausage. I also chose banana chocolate chip pancakes and my friend got the original. The oat cakes are delicious. My recommendation is to go with the original. It's a thin, but very flavorful oat cake with molasses butter. Because of the nature of the pancake, it doesn't hold things like banana and chocolate chip very well. Still delicious, but it turned into a mush. The soft scrambled eggs are the most rich and beautiful yellow I've seen. I wonder how they do it. The pork sausage is a must, so good. Definitely try this place out during the week so you don't have to wait in a super long line. Definitely a nice spot to grab breakfast with a friend on a weekday.

Home fries
Elizabeth X.

These pancakes totally fit the hype. They were so moist and flavorful, even without syrup. The sausages were also seasoned really well. And the home fries were crispy and great. The 2x2x2 is a great deal to try a bunch of stuff, and the banana walnut pancakes were an amazing flavor. We got on line at 10:30 on a Sunday (Easter Sunday!) and waited an hour to get seated. After that, the food came pretty quickly and was so worth it.

OG griddle cakes with scrambled eggs and sausage. Blueberry griddle cakes.
Amanda C.

{Overall: 4; Food: 4} Ambiance: 3.5; Service: 4 Breakfast by Salt's Cure is known for its oatmeal griddle cakes. The texture is much softer and more mushy than a traditional pancake. We tried both the original and the blueberry versions and preferred the original, especially with butter. The scrambled eggs and sausage were also solid. We went on a weekday afternoon, which was ideal since there was no line. The environment is casual. You order at the counter, get a number, and seat yourself. Everyone was friendly. This feels more like a novelty than something I could eat regularly like typical brunch. It's good, but I wouldn't wait in line for more than 15 minutes. If you can go at an off time, it is a nice little treat.

2x2x2
Simran K.

This place had been on my list for ages, but the dreaded wait times kept me away--until now. I finally gave in and arrived early for brunch at 9a.m. Even then, it took about 30-40 minutes in the cold before I was seated. I ordered the 2x2x2 with the OG pancake stack, eggs over easy, and chicken sausage. My table also had a version with banana walnut pancakes, scrambled eggs, and pork sausage. The pancakes were phenomenal--fluffy yet hearty, with bits of oats adding a satisfying texture. I liked the OG stack but preferred the salted butter that accompanied the banana walnut version over the cinnamon butter. The pork sausage edged out the chicken, both salty against the sweetness of the pancakes but it seemed to work out just well. Coffee arrives in classic diner mugs and is refillable--a nice touch. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable breakfast spot.

2x2x2 - OG griddle, eggs and veggie patties (10/10)
Meryam A.

Had friends visiting from Texas so of course we took them to Salt's Cure. Always a crowd-pleaser, and today was no exception. There are no reservations here and by 10am there was already a line. Waited about 25 minutes then ordered up front, were seated and had our food in minutes. We went with the combo (get everything) and it absolutely delivered. The OG griddle cakes are perfection. It's great texture, just the right sweetness, honestly don't even need syrup. Total staple and 100% a place I'll keep coming back to.

Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice (~$6)
Aya E.

Ordered: 2x2x2 (~$18): 2 OG Oatmeal Griddle Cakes, 2 Soft Scramble Eggs, 2 Chicken Sausage Patties 2x2x2 (~$20): 2 Banana Nut Oatmeal Griddle Cakes, 2 Soft Scramble Eggs, 2 Chicken Sausage Patties Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice (~$6) Home Fries (~$5): crispy golden potatoes Aya's take: Finally trying the famous Breakfast by Salt's Cure! I waited about 20-30 minutes in line for a table for 2 which didn't seem too bad compared to other spots in the area. Once you enter, you place your order at the register, and then find a table. Service was fairly quick after that as we received our food ~10 minutes later. I love the 2x2x2 since you get a little bit of everything and it's just the right portion! The eggs were a perfect soft scramble and so delicious with a touch of hot sauce. I honestly didn't care for the chicken sausage patties flavor-wise but I highly appreciate the fact that there's a non-pork option available! The best part was definitely the Oatmeal Griddle Cakes. They're thin and crisp yet soft and sweet - arguably better than regular pancakes. The OG comes with cinnamon molasses butter which was so rich & tasty! The Banana Nut was slightly sweeter from the banana and super satisfying! I would highly recommend adding the Home Fries. I feel like it completed the meal with that crunchy & salty bite. Their Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice was super refreshing and actually freshly squeezed! My only complaint is the cup is too small to be charging $6! Nonetheless, loved having brunch here and I totally understand the hype!

2x2x2 (chocolate chip and banana pancakes, pork sausage, scrambled eggs)
Emily Y.

Everything is reasonably priced here, and tastes delicious! We came on a Friday morning at around 10:30ish, and there was a bit of a line out the door, but only because there is a small waiting area inside - I was second in line outside, but got in after maybe 20 minutes max. They make you order before you seat yourself, but their menu is not too overboard, which makes it quick. By the time we left (around 12:00 pm), there were quite a few tables that were empty and no line. The interior had pretty good natural lighting and felt very homey. We got the 2x2x2 (2 pancakes, 2 sausages, and 2 eggs where we customized the pancakes for one to have chocolate chip and one to have banana), and it tasted amazing. I really liked the molasses butter on the original one, but I wished they had given more on the side. The edges of the pancakes were pretty crispy, but once you got to the middle, it was a bit more gooey and moist. Overall, really liked the pancakes, where the flavor of the oats makes it taste incredible. I got the pork sausage on the side, and it was also pretty flavorful and crispy, as well as two scrambled eggs.

Outside
Maria R.

Went during the week in the morning there was a line outside even though there was lots of empty seats. The person letting people in is the same one taking the orders and making drinks hence the long line outside. I got the pancakes and chicken special the pancakes were good and the chicken was crispy and great flavor. The service was ok but not the best. When I went to place my order another employee interrupted for a drink he forgot and the bathroom has mold.

Pancakes
Erika V.

Ahh-mazing!!! Yes, yes, yes! I was visiting and had to come here due to TikTok. Salt's Cure delivered tenfold. Oh my, talk about melt in your mouth goodness. Service was exceptional and the establishment was clean, welcoming, and received a lot of natural light. I would come back in a heartbeat, can't wait until next time.

Banter - Chicken Salad Wrap

Great spot to meet friends for brunch or get takeout! Numerous healthy options and delicious…read moredrinks. We got the Banter Bowl, which includes pickled carrot, cabbage, watermelon radish, cucumber, edamame, avocado, quinoa, and miso ponzu dressing. You have a choice of meats, so we chose the grilled chicken. Second, we ordered the falafel bowl that includes three falafels, pickled onions, avocado, cucumber, whipped garlic feta, kale salad, romesco, and Za'atar dressing that had a delicious flavor. However, our ultimate favorite had to be the Thai Crunch Wrap with sweet potato fries. It was fairly busy, and our drinks took a while to come, but the food arrived shortly after. The next time I'm back, I will be sure to reorder the Thai crunch wrap. If you have food allergies, they are extremely accommodating and have numerous vegan/vegetarian/GF.

I got the market salad with grilled chicken which was very filling and packed with flavor. The grilled chicken was an add on so cost a little bit more than $25 but still an amazing deal. 10/10 recommend!

Think vintage wallpaper, little knick-knacks, and warm lighting. It's got character. I ordered the market salad with mixed greens, honeycrisp apples, goat cheese, candied pecans, and sherry vinaigrette. It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

Sarge’s Delicatessen & Diner - Nicely sliced pastrami sandwich which I probably would have liked the bread lightly toasted for some texture. Meat was flavorful

What's new? Is that a VEGAN Pastrami and Ruben on the menu?!? Holy Cow who did not have to lay…read moredown their life?! Wow. I never thought I'd see the day a Jewish Deli would consider some vegan dupes of classics - but wow - way to be on trend and health conscious to help cut down the heart disease and cholesterol meds. I'm here for it and couldn't believe my Vegan friend would ever get a chance to get close to the classic NY Jewish Deli experience in a vegan context. To be clear- they still serve up the real stuff too- but I just need to put it out there how rare and kind of amazing this is for an OG spot like Sarge's. It's been 9 years since my last review here and- wow, we've come full circle. Also- congrats to making it through and out the other side of the pandemic- many businesses did not, but it's nice to see an institution like Sarge's survive a serious hit like that, it means the community cares too. What's still good- OG 1960's-70's diner vibes and booths- a place your grands can feel at home, but very well maintained and clean. Portions that send you home full even if you're just ordering soup or a side of French fries- you will not leave this grand's house hungry ya'll. Classic flavors that come from recipes before artificial flavors were a thing- made with real bone broths that will keep your hair, skin, and nails shiny with collagen.

The pastrami sandwich was okay. Lean, thinly sliced, not overly salty. I finished the entire…read moresandwich, but... I was left wanting more. Since the pastrami was so thinly sliced, I was actually still hungry. For the same price as Katz's, (around $29), I would still prefer Katz's just because of the hand sliced pastrami nd there's just so much more flavor. Service was awful. These older ladies walking around like zombies with zero personality, you can tell they hate being there. Nice to knock this off my list, but I'm going back to Katz's on my next NYC visit.
