I ordered the hash brown well done. I have never had a more perfectly cooked potato in my life. Wonderful crust on the outside with soft and tender potato on the inside. This place has a lot of one star reviews. Not sure why. I come here several times a year. It's a diner. Not a hipster place or a high end establishment. Everything is more expensive since Covid. If you want pre covid prices you're going to need a flux capacitor and a Delorean. This is one of the last "New York" diners and it's great.

Went out for what should have been a simple diner meal and it was honestly awful. Every single…read moreplate at the table was drowning in juices -- bread completely soggy, fries stale like they'd been sitting out forever, and the food somehow managed to be either undercooked or overcooked with no in-between. The service didn't help either. The waitstaff was unfriendly and seemed completely checked out. Tables were dirty, as well as condiments, definitely a rundown diner. And somehow the bill came to  $75 before tip for a burger, panini, wrap, and an ice cream float. Completely overpriced for the quality we got. Definitely not a place I'd return to or recommend.

If it's your first time here, what catches you is the decor and the coziness the cafe brings. A few…read morefriends stopped going here because of how busy it was during the weeknights. At this point, this cafe is better off for casual gatherings and not for study sessions. I think it's only one of the few cafes that are open past 10 PM. I've been to many different cafes in NY and visited cafe bench a few times in the past few years with large groups. I saw a recent view and was surprised to have read about the lack of disrespect a Hispanic man gave. I saw him a few times and I never saw something similar to that extent. There may be a lack of awareness on his end for bowing down and if that truly happened, I'd be pissed too and that's so uncalled for. I've been to other cafes with a similar policy but yeah, this cafe is pretty well known for having strict no-remake, no-modification policies. I've seen other customers caught off guard by it too. From what my friends and I observed, the staff doesn't make those calls and they're busy with orders like any other cafe. I'm just writing this to to share a different perspective as someone who's been there many times as I came by last weekend to give it another shot. I got the Jasmine Bear which was less sweet than before and took a sip of my friend's Berry Mucho Smoothie which was a 9/10. I wish i got that because the Jasmine Bear isn't as sweet. I usually get the Lemon C crepe and decided to try out the pomodoro instead. Although the portions are not as much as I thought it would be, the seasoned chicken and the sweet tomato sauce went really well with the crispy flakiness of the crepe.

The pancakes were fluffy and delicious, especially with the bananas and syrup, and the eggs and home fries were so good. The portions were generous, and we left completely satisfied. It's always nice finding a breakfast spot where the food actually tastes as good as it looks! The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, and we had a great experience from start to finish. We will definitely be back and are already looking forward to trying more of the menu. Highly recommend Belly Cake Pancake House for a great breakfast or brunch!

The workers were super nice and took our orders far as well. Probably because of how busy it was the food took forever to come, however the food was worth the wait. Matcha burlee stack 10/10 There was a matcha flavor but it was not over powering the pancake wasn't too cakey it was fluffy and had a slight crisp to them. The sauce was not too sweet at all and the burlee didn't have that burnt flavor. This is my new favorite pancake spot. I'll definitely be coming more for try the other pancakes. truffle mushroom egg toast 7/10 Maybe the pancakes wowed us too much but this felt pretty normal nothing amazing just regular eggs mushroom with truffle oil on sour dough. It's a good portion size too. Green doctor 10/10 This was so good healthy but you don't taste the healthy. the consistency was not too thickly but it was not watery. Overall this place was amazing i would definitely recommend coming here for brunch. I would say the pancakes are a must get. If it was not for the long wait for food. Also they did mess up my drink once but forgivable since it was so tasty. otherwise, they would be a 5/5.

Omelet was hot, the home fries struck the perfect balance between soft and crispy, and the coffee kept coming. Everyone that came in got their food in under 10 minutes. Unclear where some of the hate is coming from in the reviews. "Unfriendly staff"? Not for me at least, and also people are allowed to have bad days. Also for context I showed up at 6:45 am, and everyone was chipper. I'll be back for sure!

The "literal" embodiment of IYKYK, this classic old school neighborhood institution, the type of…read morewhich are becoming increasingly rare to the point of near extinction, is certainly on my shortlist of the best bars in the city, let alone the borough. The gorgeous, ancient building, Fillmores for close to 50 years now but home to a bar for many years prior to that, is perennially packed with a cross section of local regulars representing many eras of the neighborhoods varied history and populations, from old school working class joes in Union Jackets and hardhats to more recent immigrants from every corner of the world befitting it's location smack in the center of the worlds borough. They're all most definitely having a great time, soaking up the fantastic atmosphere and character and being served by seasoned pros with a level of old school care and camaraderie, and focus on loyalty to the regulars that is also sadly rapidly fading away (how many other places in this town still know the meaning of the words "buy back?") Where the place really sets itself apart from all the other local watering holes however charming they might be on their own right however, is the food. Its lives up to the original designation of a tavern as a place that places a priority on the cuisine, and indeed the offerings rise far far above the bar-food norm. This is the type of spot that not only serves one of the great, deeply satisfying under-the radar burgers, non nonsense but deeply meaty uniquely presented on a long hero-type roll, but also one of the best, and cheapest NY Strips in town and a killer prime rib special. Also has some of the most reliably crispy wings, even if the propriety house sauce is just a tad sweet for my tastes, and a rotating list of delicious house made soups (particularly a marvelous lobster bisque) that can be paired with said wings or most other options as part of the wonderful lunch specials. I've heard many other patrons praise the grilled chicken wrap but have never had the chance to give it a try as of yet. I'll have many more chances because I plan on continuing to visit the place often for years to come, and here's to hoping that this place remains a constant in the ever changing borough as it's miraculously been able to all these many many years.

It wasn't flashy or exciting, but it had the welcoming vibe of a restaurant that was meant for locals, and to serve the surrounding area. While I wish that they had a slightly larger selection of beers, they did have one (1) good IPA, and my food was pretty good as well. My chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks were solid, but my pub pretzel was amazing, and made to perfection! The staff, to include the bartender and waiters, were all very nice, welcoming, and attentive, and I loved chatting with the other patrons as well. I'd definitely recommend Filmore's to anybody passing through the neighborhood, and I'll assuredly be back in the future!

George creates culinary masterpieces on the spot. Your stomach will thank you for all the happiness that pours out of each creation. It's my 1st time trying any of George's nutritious food and the fresh feta cheese from Greece had me at 1st taste. I've never been a feta cheese eater ever but George gave me a sample and I couldn't believe it was feta cheese! By the time I drove away, I had ordered 4 lunch platters, 2 frappes, a Palmer Special (homemade iced tea and lemonade combo) & George's summer special (watermelon with feta cheese minus the Greek honey). I gotta go back for the Greek honey! The frappe is the only iced coffee I want from now on, it's delicious with milk from Greece and 3 sugars. It's like nothing I've ever tasted before, I'm addicted to it now. Thank you so much George for helping me bring a taste of Greece home to my family! Thank you so much Sula for recommending George's Greek Food! Cretan Grill is located opposite from the NYPQ- Emergency Room. George & his amazing culinary masterpieces absolutely deserve my Yummylicious Stamp of Approval! Two thumbs up from me!
