The dining room
Dionne H.

I had a good breakfast here after my doctor's appointment. It is southern themed by the way. I treated myself to a watermelon spritz. It has a small dining room that provided an at home experience. I ordered the shrimp sauce smothered biscuit and it came with a hash brown on the side. I expected hash browns ie crispy potatoes instead one reminiscent of McDonald's. It was tasty anyway. The service was good.

Fried Chicken Biscuit
Jamie I.

I came here with a friend and tried their chicken steak biscuit and fried chicken biscuit. Both were solid choices. The fried chicken was perfectly crunchy and nicely seasoned, while the biscuit was thick yet fluffy. The chicken steak biscuit had a rich mushroom gravy, while the fried chicken biscuit had a simpler pairing of a tangy aioli and house made pickles. Not sure if it was different or not, but the chicken tasted practically identical between the two. I enjoyed the fried chicken biscuit a bit more, as the pickles went perfectly with the biscuit and meat. Still, it's quite a simple meal. The hash brown was a nice add on, but nothing special. Ambiance was good, if not a tiny bit crowded, and service was nice.

Stopped in for a bite after visiting Brooklyn Craft. Brunch menu was good. Biscuit was delicious.

I was spontaneously in the neighborhood and was craving brunch. I actually haven't had brunch in a long time because I rarely wake up before 10am now. I'm actually so grateful that this place has a lot of sweet and savory options. I've always been the type of person who couldn't choose between pancakes/waffles or eggs/something savory. This place does both Its huge portions too, I think you could share.

A brunch spread like no other

Came here for brunch and I'll say I have some positives and negatives. First off the decor is very aged not particularly my vibe but have at it. The day I went the weather was in the high 80's and I was surprised that they had no AC or even a fan to cool down the restaurant (it was very hot in there). Also I want to point out that the restroom was very dirty, a little more bathroom attention can go a long way. Now to the food. Portions are humongous Okra -8/10 Pancake -6/10 Eggs -10/10 Bacon 10/10 Jelly biscuit -10/10 Hashbrown -6/10 Oyster martini -8/10 Can some things be worked on YES but overall it wasn't terrible.

Come Stow away, come stow away with me! Couldn't resist the temptation, but on the real, if you ever find yourself needing to break fast and enjoy a little hole in the wall, a rustic ambiance, and very friendly service, Stowaway serves. Tucked away in Greenpoint, Stowaway came up on a top ten list of places to check out and TikTok hasn't let me down before. If you're lucky to get either Miles or Sasha, you'll be in good hands. Of course the food served; started off spitting a blueberry pancake (pizza style); perfect size for three. The cake was made fluffy and the blueberry compote had that right amount of warmth and gooey. We each got one of the biscuit sandwiches and they were definitely a several steps up from any that you would get from Fastfood. A soft biscuit, perfect scrambled/runny eggs and a good southern sausage. I took a step further adding a side of remoulade at Mile's recommendation; choice. Also, stacking my hash brown on my sandwich, . Note, they don't do reservation but we got there round 11-12pm and they was seating for the three of us, but don't dally. Anyway, I'll have to comeback and try some of their specials of day. The shrimp and grits across another table looked pretty good. Either way, this is definitely my type of vibe I want as I break fast, so let me stowaway again on my next visit.

Jelly Biscuit
Paula N.

I've been here twice in 2 weeks and have had pretty good experiences. The first was for a dinner (2 ppl) and we were seated relatively fast. It was about 7pm so it was prime dinner hours. The service was fast and efficient. The shrimp was yummy but both fish and bbq sandwich were pretty dry. Also not sure if it was intentional but their pickles weren't fully pickled. Interesting choice. For brunch, we started with watermelon mimosas (DELICIOUS) and a jelly biscuit (meh). We both had the Hen House breakfast platter which was SO MUCH FOOD! Super filling as the pancake is fluffy and essentially four pancakes in one. I'll definitely be back for brunch.

Chicken fried steak
Austin S.

The 4 star yelp rating is quite accurate. A plethora of factors are going into this one. But overall, a positive experience. The interior is small, but not in an intimate way. I am from St. Louis so I guess I am adjusting to the slightly "cramped" feeling of these NY hideouts. The interior definitely fit the stowaway vibes. You almost feel shipwrecked inside, and even the workers had a vibe, too. They just felt like they should be working there. That is intended to be a compliment. Very blue collar, beachy while still being super well put together. In any case, I did go about 12:30 on a Saturday so they were busy. The place only holds about 30 patrons. You could tell everyone was enjoying themselves, but just a but uneasy about the wait times which I did hear all servers apologize for. I noticed a lot of reviews mention the slow kitchen. It did however take a lot of time to get my order placed. I had to ask for a server to put in my order. And, once I put it in, nobody ever came back until I received my food. They gave me water when I arrived and that was about it. In any case, the food was worth the wait. The chicken fried steak was incredible. Being from small town Missouri, chicken fried steak is something I know a thing or 2 about. The mushroom gravy was superb. Hints of garlic with a nice saltiness and topped off with the rich, umami flavor from the mushrooms. The breading on the steak was crispy, and not too heavy. And, as all chicken fried steak should be: the steak was a little chewy, but not tough and not grisly. Of course, the biscuit was superb. It had a little extra flavor I cannot quite identify other than it definitely tasted southern/creole. Man, my first meal of my New York trip was pretty epic. Absolutely fire with respect to flavor and satiety. Stowaway, if I ever find myself shipwrecked, I hope it is in your kitchen

I was eyeing this spot for almost a year now, whenever I walked by and looked at the menu I thought damn this is going to be amazing. To my dismay, I did not think the brunch menu was special at all. I ordered the bacon egg and cheese biscuit and thought for the biscuit size it was skimping on the eggs. It was also quite dry. My friend got the Shoreline Breakfast which was okay, but the pancake was sorely disappointing. I found it to be difficult to cut and extremely chewy. Not crispy or fluffy or anything that makes a pancake great. The whipped butter on top had no flavor either unfortunately. The people here seem nice and it does have a nice ambiance, but I would not recommend it to a friend. The cold brew was also really bad, so we were not off to a great start either.

Such a cool little spot! We were in town for a few days and decided to have breakfast here on a late Wednesday morning. I ordered a latte, which was perfect! I even ordered one to go before we left. I also got the Sausage Egg and Cheese Biscuit, it came with a side of hashbrown. Absolutely delicious! The biscuit was soooooo good. My fiancé enjoyed his pancake, so large you only need one. Our waitress was so friendly and nice, made the restaurant feel welcoming.

Shoreline & Hen House Breakfast Platters
Ingrid M.

Came her for brunch on a Sunday and the wait was about 20min for a table for 2. The space is small and cozy; I think the biggest table I saw was for 4. I had the Shoreline breakfast and my friend had the Hen House breakfast. We both loved our meals! The best part - each brunch platter comes with a delicious pancake. Not pictured: their Cajun fries were also 10/10! The only reason I didn't rate 5 stars is because they can use an AC (may have been broken).

MUSHROOM GRAVY w/ herbed mushroom gravy poured over our open-faced buttermilk biscuit
Albert H.

I really enjoyed this gem of a brunch spot in Greenpoint. It is quite small so you may have to wait to get a table. We enjoyed everything we tried including the mushroom gravy, hog house plate w/ pancakes, as well as the fried chicken. I need to take one star off as they usually seem understaffed so you either have to wait a little longer for service or for your food to arrive. We've also had our orders taken down wrong. Overall, I still recommend this place for a quaint brunch with a friend. Don't try to bring a larger group here due to the limited space.

Shrimp and grits
Dong K.

It is a cool little place, but don't ever come here hungry or on a hot summer day. Never mind the wait for a table, the food takes FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOREVER!!!! and their a/c is so broke might as well turn it off. I guess they are giving the diners a true Southern experience, but bless their hearts.... this is NO WHERE close to Southern Hospitality. They warned us they have a small kitchen but at a restaurant this size why do we have to wait an hour for our food??? In terms of food hush puppies 2/5 fried okra 3.5/5 shrimp and grits 3/5 (way way too salty for me) chicken fried steak 3/5 (again very heavy handed with salt) Maybe come for a drink when it's cool outside, but for me? i am never coming back. i don't like wondering where my food is for an hour. especially when i am hungry...

Definitely worth another trip. I got the Cajun club (w/o tomatoes) sandwich and the frozen margarita. Both were soooo good! The place might be small but it's big on the "home away from home"/chill atmosphere!

I chose this place because I had visited a few times in the past and expected a positive environment. While there, I ran into an old friend who was accompanying individuals with special needs. They informed us about the R&B karaoke event, and we attempted to participate respectfully and supportively. Unfortunately, after participating, the DJ became rude and dismissive. My friends decided not to continue because each time they attempted to request a song, the DJ was unkind and impatient, seemingly unaware--or unconcerned--that they were individuals with special needs. The situation escalated when I attempted to calmly address the disrespect. Instead of listening, the bartender repeatedly accused me of being drunk simply because I was defending myself after a rude comment. I was not intoxicated; I was advocating for respectful treatment. Even the DJ's own companion appeared visibly shocked by the comment made toward me, as if anticipating a reaction. I remained composed and professional despite being deeply upset. What disappointed me most was the staff's decision to defend the DJ's behavior rather than acknowledge how inappropriate and disrespectful the interaction was. This reflects poorly on how this establishment treats people--especially those who deserve patience, understanding, and dignity. I came expecting an enjoyable brunch experience and left feeling ashamed for having trusted this place. It is clear that the venue prioritizes protecting mediocre DJs with minimal local popularity over treating customers with basic respect. Poor organization, lack of proper event management, and unprofessional staff behavior made this experience unacceptable. I have visited many establishments and have never felt so disrespected. I will not be returning.

TL;DR version- Some high highs and some very low lows. Hot Figs was a fun app. By a mile, the soups…read morewere the favorites, so I would recommend the Pepián or Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo. Nice happy hour and a large chocolate drink selection I was at this unique Guatemalan (ish) restaurant a while back with one of my groups. I said "ish" because the menu has dishes from all over, ranging from sandwiches to BBQ ribs to Guatemalan and Mexican soups. It's out there, and even though not everything works that well, it's fun, and if you can't find something you want to order here, you probably shouldn't go out to restaurants. There was also live jazz music that night, which was loud but nice to listen to. Since it was happy hour, a bunch of us got drinks. I went with a maracuya margarita, which was decent; someone else had a jalapeño margarita, someone had a beer, and someone had a mojito. There were a few nice hot sauces on the table, with the red one reminding me of salsa macha as it had a smoky kick and a spicier green sauce reminiscent of ají verde. They gave us some complimentary blue corn chips and a very mild black bean dip, which was tasty enough and hard to complain about, as it was free. From the appetizers, we got the Hot Figs for $15.95, consisting of honey goat cheese, corn tortilla chips, and plum + pumpkin seeds. This was a unique and fun blend and reminded me more of something you would find in a wine bar. The mix of sweet and salty, with a bit of crunch from the seeds, was nice. This was good, and I would recommend it for a table rather than for a solo diner. There was also The Zingy Salad for $21.95, featuring zucchini spirals, yuzu, tomato, onion, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and a jalapeño infusion. $18.95. The salad was fine with a bit of crunch and a mild spiciness. It was fine, though a bit wet, for lack of a better word. The best dishes of the night were the soups, which each had its own distinct flavor profile. My sight presence went to the Pepián for $21.95, consisting of chicken, pumpkin/sesame seeds, green tomatillo, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper, carrots, chili coban/pasta/guaque, and potato + rice. There was plenty of tender chicken inside, with the soup having a nice roasted flavor with some spice and a bit of sourness. The potatoes and rice on the bottom added more sustenance to this dish. Almost equally delicious was the Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo for a dollar more with shredded chicken, tomato, black pepper, garlic, onions, peas, chickpeas, corn, achiote, chipotle, Monterey jack cheese, and crunchy blue corn tortilla chips. By comparison, this was a bit heartier, with the melted cheese and shredded tortilla chips inside, similar to soups found in Mexican cuisine. While I also liked the mix of veggies a bit more in this one, as it added a bit more texture, I still slightly preferred the flavor of the other soup, as I usually prefer a bit more spice. The rest of the food was fine. The TPC sandwich for $19.95 with chicken, peanut butter, coconut cream, ginger, cilantro, pickled carrots, and lime was fine. For the number of ingredients, I found it a bit sweet, likely from the cream and the peanut butter mix. The bread was nice, but it also fell apart. It came with a nice side salad with a good vinaigrette. The most expensive at $24.95 were the Slow Cooked BBQ Ribs, consisting of baby back ribs with rice and beans. The ribs were almost a bit too tender as they lacked any bite, which was nice, but the sauce was a bit too generic tasting, reminding me of Sweet Baby Ray's or something similar. The rice and beans were standard. This was also OK. Next came some dessert. There was first the $12.95 Rosemary Churros served with dulce de leche & chocolate dips. While I'm not sure if it worked, the rosemary did add a unique smell and a bit of flavor, and at least it wasn't generic. The churros themselves were hot, and the sauces were standard, with my preference being the dulce de leche. I also ordered a Champurrado for $7.95, which was fine. It wasn't as thick as I expected, though perhaps the style is a bit different than the champurrados I rarely buy from Mexican street carts. The chocolate flavor was very nice, though, and I like that it wasn't too sweet. Another person got a $4 Alfajor, which I got a bite of, which was standard. This place is a bit hard to rate. The two soups were wonderful, I liked the appetizers, and I found a couple of the other dishes just OK. Overall, it was a good meal, but I'm not craving to go back. This would be the perfect 3.5, but I'll round up as that doesn't exist.

Every table has a placemat with crayons which is such a fun way to keep kids and adults entertained. The food was delicious and tasted fresh, living up to their messaging on sourcing local food.

The sandwich was very well made with a nice crisp panko crusting that didnt feel heavy on the oil, and yet still managed to have a light airy egg inside. The eggs rothko was buttery and flavorful but still managed to not feel too heavy. The broiled tomatos on the side were a nice touch to contrast the egg and toast from the main dish.
