This was definitely my go-to diner during my Brooklyn Heights days! There was almost always a line when we'd stroll by on the weekends, but it moves pretty quickly and service was always great when we dined in! The interior is pretty snug and while they didn't have a high-chair for us, they were prepared with something even better: the inglesina seat that attaches to the table! Our food was excellent and if I still lived in the neighborhood, I would absolutely take my parents here for brunch during visits! read more

Unfortunately so different than the many good reviews. First, the ambience is nice; busy, quaint, outdoor seating as well as indoor. Wouldn't really change anything, their timing was good and the menu has many good options. However the food was remarkably "ok". My waffle was good, not special but good, my over easy eggs had no seasoning and the table had no salt or pepper. My wife's tomato arugula avocado omelet was exceptionally bland and really more of a scrambled eggs with other stuff thrown in, and again no special anything and no salt and pepper. The "crispy" golden potatoes were in fact soggy, no seasoning, and more mush than crisp. Finally the service was a "D". The fourth request for half and half was finally successful, again the salt and pepper took forever, was promised more water which never materialized, the coffee warm up never came. In short, despite the positive menu the execution was two stars. read more

I was excited about this place because the ambiance was so vibrant and cute! However, the food was just ok. I had the salmon Mediterranean plate. While the salmon was cooked and season well, the rest of the dish fell flat-- there was no seasoning (like oregano) to give it an extra flare. The place was busy, but the service felt less than bare minimum-- best described as rushed and negligent. The waiter only came to take our order and drop off food. He didn't check in to make sure we had everything we needed, see how the food tasted, refill water, etc. We had to grab his attention twice to ask for waters after sitting with empty glasses for 15-20 minutes and to get the check, which also took forever. Overall, this place was just.... Meh. read more

We were seated after 10 minutes when we walked in on a Saturday afternoon. I liked how open and welcoming the space was, and the servers were attentive. The prices on the menu were great in comparison to most brunch places in nyc. We got the Clark's wrap, which was straightforward and yummy with Cholula. The nutella french toast though was excellent. Fluffy and not too sweet! Overall good experience but I recommend skipping the orange juice because it tasted watered down for some reason. read more

I'm originally from NYC but never made it to Brooklyn Heights, me and wifey were ferry hopping and decided to get off at the Dumbo/Fulton landing. A quick 10 minute walk up Old Fulton and hang a right on Henry St and you will come upon Clark's. It was a beautiful morning so we decided to go Al fresco in front, plenty of seating. Now this may not be fine dining cause it's called a diner but it is a fancy diner. A manager/boss type dude saw us circling a table outside and walked over and helped, he even pushed the table next to it closer so we had more space with the bambina. Wifey ordered a breakfast burrito and the bacon was amazing (I tried it) and I ordered a western omelette wrap and the cheese was melted just right, perfecto! The food was going down right, the people watching was beautiful so we decided to dive into a little morning prosecco action, yum yum! It started heating up so boss man brought over some ice for the drinks, guy is a patron whisperer, I swear. We enjoyed a double prosecco and happily bounced happy and full! Prices were very reasonable considering the experience, would absolutely return soon. Once done make sure you take a walk down the hill to the Promenade and check out breathtaking views of the NYC skyline under the Brooklyn Bridge. read more

Nice neighborhood spot with a great local feel with responsive service even on a busy Sunday morning. The planter was good, but not as tasty as I thought it would be. The salmon was really salty with a small portion as was the avocado. The poached eggs were good, but the potato pancakes really stole the show. Really crispy and thick. Not sure why the total combination just didn't taste as good as I would have expected, even though I love all the ingredients. The bacon was really crispy, but again, just not as tasty and seemed overcooked like in an oven. The sausage was good but pretty expensive for only two links. Overall, $50 is an expensive breakfast. read more

I had an early brunch here, they have the full menu available at all hours that they are open so I was able to get spaghetti at 9:30 in the morning and they had mimosas which were perfectly blended. This was my second time coming here and I was not disappointed. They have a menu where something can appease to anyone.The staff is very attentive, respectful, and friendly. The food comes out quick and it was definitely tasty. The atmosphere is calm and quiet, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

Having grown up in NJ, I'll always have a soft spot for a neighborhood diner. However, you will absolutely not catch me here during peak days/hours. On the weekends you'll often find a line outside and the entire restaurant packed. That is not the energy I need for my diner dining experience. Clark's is a beautiful location though with fully glass windows and an interior that reminds you of the good ol' days. My favorite time to visit is on an off weeknight (like a Thursday after work) for a casual catch up with friends or a quick bite before going off to do something else for the evening. There's always a neighborhood crowd here (families & seniors) and the food is always solid, but it won't blow your top off. It's good, casual, American diner fare. I love their small grilled cheese menu. One of my favorites is the pesto and grilled tomatoes where I also opt to add ham. The chicken wings are crispy and delicious. As is the cheeseburger. Clark's has a strong neighborhood feel and does diner culture well for being located in the heart of Brooklyn Heights. read more

Clark's Restaurant - Pancakes with strawberries - Diners Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Nice neighborhood restaurant. We just wanted some eggs/ high protein breakfast. They delivered. Responsive waitstaff. We did not have to wait for a table at close to opening time on a weekend, but there are no reservations so if you arrive later than that, don't be surprised if you have to wait. Music was a little loud. read more

Diners in NYC can be expensive despite being diners, but brunch at Clark's in pretty Brooklyn Hts gets busy, especially on the weekends at brunch time for good reason: The prices are fairly reasonable for plentiful fare that is very good. I'll vouch for the eggs benedict and turkey club sandwiches. The staff are constantly on the move but still warm and accomodating when it's your turn. Solid 4 stars for many years now. read more

Solid experience, I was walking on the street and it looked like a cute little spot to grab a bite for lunch. The service was nice and the food was solid as well. The windowed area was pleasant to sit and read after my meal. read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining here at the recommendation of the front desk receptionist at hotel I was staying at and I'm so glad she told me about this place because it was amazing. The service was amazing, the staff were all super friendly and the restaurant itself was really charming and almost European in its design. It was such a wonderful place. However, the main event was the food. Until now I have never had the chance to try Shakshouka before, but now that I've tried Clarks', I need to have it again. It was amazing. To make it even better, the prices were reasonable by NYC standards and the portion was very generous for the price point. Overall I was extremely satisfied and glad that I stopped by, an impressive job across the board. read more

Food is always done well, typical New York diner lots on the menu. Service is prompt. Nothing fancy gets the job done!

My go to place! This restaurant has the best food. My children love it. Been coming with my son once a month for the past ten plus years and now my daughter wants breakfast as her reward for wherever! Their avocado, arugula, and tomato omelette is phenomenal. Even their coffee is good. Food is spectacular and service is exceptional. Highly recommend. read more

Clark's Restaurant - Delicious walnut salad - avocado, walnuts, oranges, tomatoes and mixed greens! - Diners Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My husband and I hadn't been to Clark's for some time -- but our visit was as lovely as we remembered. Our son had visited regularly over his high school years with a group of his friends and they were always treated with respect -- which was a huge win for all of us. It's diner food; so, there lots of easy options for all. He had a split pea soup and a wrap while I had chili con carne and a side salad. Both of our meals came out quickly, were filling, and tasted good. Our servers were pleasant, and knew their menu. The restaurant was still decorated for the holidays -- but nothing detracted from the open seating. FYI: It is Brooklyn Heights; so expect to pay a lot more than you would at a diner elsewhere. read more

Really enjoyed our brunch this morning! Great service and really nice elevated diner experience. Our Benedict was delicious, and my tween loved his big breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and pancakes. Cappuccinos were very nice as well. Will definitely come back for brunch! read more

Clark's is the kind of place that makes you nostalgic for an era you probably never lived through. Step inside, and it's like slipping into a portal to The Great Gatsby: brass fixtures, art deco touches, and classical music swirling gently through the air like. It's got that polished charm, like someone gave a damn when they built the place. And then there's the food. It's diner fare. Plain and simple. No frills, no fireworks. Eggs are eggs. Coffee's hot. Pancakes don't reinvent anything. But it's honest. It doesn't need to be groundbreaking, it just needs to be edible. The service? Warm. Attentive. The kind of folks who remember your name if you show up more than once. Clark's won't change your life, but it might give you a moment... Over a plate of average eggs and under the glow of a perfectly aged light fixture, where you feel like maybe, just maybe, the world isn't such a bad place after all. read more

No clue why this isn't 5 stars all around. Great neighborhood breakfast that is basic...but basically delicious. We visit here once a week to sit outside and enjoy breakfast. We tend to get there between 10 and 11 am so that we don't have to wait. Service is fast. Food is great. They actually make the hashbrowns extra crispy upon request! My go-to is the florentine omelet. Ice oatmeal milk latte is strong and tastes wonderful. Haven't had anything but breakfast here, but it's tasty enough to have this be our regular breakfast/brunch spot. No frills breakfast that is always divine! read more

A popular place for brunch on the weekends - the line of people waiting out front is sort of an amorphous blob. I was a little dubious about the system: one host who remembers everyone's faces and party sizes. Turns out he has a beautiful mind. Also, the line moves fairly quickly. The food quality is definitely above average for a diner. Eggs benedict were perfectly poached. The sausages I ordered on the side were juicy and girthy. I think the real star was the blueberry pie pancakes. They were topped with ice cream (!) and the interplay between hot / cold and fruity / creamy... it was a cultural reset. For a restaurant so busy, I thought the service was great. They don't exactly linger to ask you how your day is going, but I found everyone to be very attentive (they even brought new utensils between our savory and sweet "courses" without us asking). My only note is that certain seats next to the waiter station are subject to what can only be described as a raucous din. Said waiter station could also benefit from a deep clean. read more

We had the best breakfast here! We took the ferry over from 34th and enjoyed the views. This "diner" is one of a kind! High end with a great menu. We were in for breakfast and both had a breakfast wrap. Both were truly great! The bacon is amazing and the breakfast potatoes are an absolute must! They offer a great selection of coffees too. Clark's has plenty of outdoor dining which was nice because we have a chatty baby in tow. The service was friendly and welcoming. Def adding this place into our rotation. We have to come back and try the lunch/dinner menu! read more

This is the quintessential neighborhood diner where everyone knows ur name. Very cute corner location. The staff is welcoming and friendly. The breakfast is SOOOOOOO GOOOD and plentiful. The pancakes come in a stack of 3 the width of the entire plate. Likely 1 order is enough for 2. We had the blueberry pancakes with whipped cream. Full of blueberries. Great texture, not too thick or thin. The whipped cream melted pretty quickly but nice smooth creamy taste not too sweet 9/10; Nutella pancakes are for the Nutella lovers. Same pancake different topping just as good 9/10; big breakfast comes with your choice of eggs, meat, and pancake or french toast. The French toast was super thick and creamy. So tasty 9/10. This is a must visit while at nyu Tandon or in Brooklyn heights. Great food big portions but the menu is confusing. We wound up paying 30.00 more than expected because of how we ordered. This is likely an issue they have often as the menu isn't clear at all. TIP: GET THE BUG BREAKFAST. Anything else will be ala carte and the price will add up quickly. read more

Visited Clark's for breakfast while passing through NYC after it was recommended by my hotel staff, and I'm glad I went. The service was excellent -- fast, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. I ordered an omelette that was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. The coffee was excellent as well. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but that's to be expected in NYC. The restaurant was clean, organized, and clearly family-owned -- you can feel the pride and hospitality from the moment you walk in. It was packed during my visit, and that alone says a lot. Highly recommend Clark's for a great breakfast experience in the city. read more

This day is a Mother's Day... I arrived and have a 10 minute wait period, and the hostess and who seem like the manager were awesome about greeting and accommodating us.

Breakfast all day, everyday...with drinks (dranks), located in Brooklyn Heights, on the corner of tree line streets on Clark St. and Henry St., within walking distance of the Brooklyn Promenade and the iconic Brooklyn Bridge never disappoints. I like several dishes however my absolute fav is Benedict's & Eggs Avocado which includes poached eggs, English muffin with hollandaise, I add smoked Salmon. My choice of sides for brunch includes Yukon gold fried potatoes always served hot with green peppers and satisfying portions. Prices are modest based on the portions served. Food arrives hot and quickly even during brunch which is their busiest time of day. Did I mention they serve breakfast like all day? Delivery, vegetarian menus, and kids menus are available. read more

Classy diner that makes you feel like you are dining special, I guess $35 for breakfast does that to you. While classical music subtly plays, you get soft and kind service, but prompt. The portion sizes are plenty for breakfast, the Big Breakfast is certainly a great way to start. Not only that, but everything tastes fresh and hearty. It also helps this restaurant is literally across the street from the 2/3 stop that bears the street and restaurant of the same name. A well deserved 3 for 3. read more

A beautiful open space and friendly diner feel with food that is to die for! We came across this restaurant while we were in town and absolutely loved it! The service was great and we were seated right away. It's filled with local diners who are regulars and travelers visiting from out of town, all enjoying their time. We tried the poached eggs with smoked salmon on potatoes as well as the breakfast burrito and it was so flavorful and filling. Overall loved this diner and I can't wait to come back! Highly recommend! read more

Clark's was a very chill vibe. Nothing fancy, but still a good time overall. I would return to try some of the many menu options they have. GLOWS: -Service was efficient and effective -I enjoyed my avocado toast meal - On the way out, I got a corn muffin from the bakery, which was absolutely delicious. The choc chip cookie was too. GROWS: - You cannot get the flavored pancake option in a single pancake. So if you want some flavor, you'll have to get a full order . - The bathrooms are uncomfortably small. It felt like I was in the "chokey" from Matilda. -The tables are very close together. Good for getting in, but there will be some squeezing you'll have to do read more

I'm a Clark's regular and I can't say enough good things about this place. It is so good and has old-fashioned customer service. The waiters are all fabulous. On weekends there is a line but the staff keeps things moving briskly. I always get their breakfast (they have turkey bacon which I really appreciate) and it's just got a great vibe. Don't go to Montague Diner, which is a pretentious over-priced hipster nightmare. Go to Clark's. You won't be disappointed. read more

Indiiviuals in our party ordered Grilled Chicken Salad, Blueberry Pancakes w/ a Ham & Cheese Omelet, The Big Breakfast (Choose from Pancakes, French Toast or a Waffle w/ either Sausage or Bacon & Eggs).

By far the best diner in NYC. Food is always fresh and well prepared. The staff is both friendly and provide excellent service!

Us 4 friends went for brunch on a Sunday at 12pm (Prime brunch time) expected to wait at least 40 mins, but was surprised to just have a 10-15 mins wait. Like any other NYC brunch spot, the tables were a bit too small and not enough space for people to walk around comfortably. But omg the food was delicious! I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants an amazing brunch. I can't wait to go there again and try more items off their menu! read more

Recently discovered Clark's and haven't been able to stop thinking about their pancakes!! Everything that I have gotten from here has been delicious from the breakfast wraps to the pancakes, specifically the banana chocolate chip. The serving size of the pancakes is very generous...You could definitely split between 2 to 3 people. My only complaint is with the Breakfast wraps - they are a little flimsy and flat looking as opposed to more full and round. They could probably benefit from adding one more egg. The male host is always super friendly and greets you with a smile. There can be a line at the door but it moves quickly. Deff a go to spot on the weekends. read more
