All I have to say is WOW! My boyfriend and I came here on a Saturday late morning and had the best brunch. The Bloody Mary special had shrimp, an oyster, pickles, bacon, and FRIED OLIVES! Yum!! We ordered the salmon rillette which was amazing. I got the sawmill breakfast for my meal and my bf got the egg Benedict special w/ crispy prosciutto. The mushroom gravy for mine was so rich and tasteful. It's such a cozy, quaint, wholesome spot. The service was a bit slow, but the bartender/ (owner?) was so nice and hospitable. I will definitely be back and highly recommend checking this place out. Just make sure to budget some extra time in your day! read more

Went here today for brunch. Had the crab roll with salad. Amazing! Husband had the pancake, daughter had blueberry pancake. Delicious. Unfortunately the waitress mixed up the fourth dish so we had to wait for it. The chicken. Worth the wait but would've been nice if she wrote it down. We will be back! Tiny cozy place. We lucked out with seating. I highly recommend it! read more

WOW! Amazing place for mushroom biscuits and gravy! As a southerner, I long ago accepted I could not get proper biscuits in NYC, but The Stowaway totally proved me wrong. Went here with a buddy and got the mushroom gravy over a giant biscuit, along with a side of the hashbrowns. The hush puppies hit all the right places! You really cannot go wrong with an order of those for the table (or a truly famished solo food adventurer!). The portions = massive. The staff is beyond friendly, and everyone working the space and kitchen should all get raises! Get thee to the Stowaway post-haste! I know I'll be coming back soon. Just to note, might be better to go on the early side on a Sunday, as noon rolled around they got totally slammed. Yes, the food, ambiance, and staff is that damn good. read more

I'm never on this app, but I just want to say the pancake slaps so hard, and so was the vibe of the place!!

Biscuits were amazing! A quaint spot that was great for a casual brunch. Order food and drinks at the bar. read more

Excited to try this place for brunch but the host that is wearing a red shirt today did not grant me a proper customer service. I requested seating for two, took my name and said approximately 25min. Went ahead to seat another couple after 5-7min and then i asked how long was ny wait, and was informed just one person and i said no, for two. Because i stated two people after me were seated, and then said your party has to be here already, i proceeded to state my mom is outside in car because she has difficulty standing up for long period and just kept stating party has to be here and when asked whats their name and was rude by walking away. This could have been handled different with politeness but am not gonna be dismissed with this type of behavior. Sadly, the food looked great but this type of attention is displeasing. read more

Being a white man in an interracial relationship, I've seen my share of sketchy if not outright racist behavior from miserable humans. But tonight was a first when the bar tender/server decided he didn't like his tip (he shouldn't have gotten a cent tbh) so he came out from behind the bar and literally threw the tip at my African American partner. When I tell you the only reason we remained in control is because we have too much to lose, otherwise things could have gotten very bad. Also: there's a heatwave going on rn and there was no temperature control. The door was open and a fan was blowing. The oysters weren't fresh. I was able to smell them way too far away. Just overall a very bad experience. Besides that, the other bartender was a misogynist. The two there tonight really meant to find each other in life. Can't recommend this place. And I truly try not to be negative about other's small businesses. But they got it all wrong. Way too much wrong in one sitting. read more

Great brunch great drinks and oyster shots what's better. Will be back for happy hour,last time came a little too early. Small spot so I'm sure it's busy during those hours. read more

Is the space really cool? Yes Is the food good? 100% it's nuts. So good Are the staff members cool people that you want to root for? Absolutely they're sick Does the kitchen move really slowly? Yeah you'll wait a good amount of time for your food Do they have maybe the worst wait for a table system in the world? Probably yeah Is it great tho? Yeah 100% just don't come here if you don't have at least 2 hours free read more

If I could give more than five stars, I WOULD! Best biscuits I've ever had, everything is made to order FRESH! So while the wait for your food might be longer than other places, it is so incredibly worth it. The service was fabulous and it's so cozy and charming inside! The entire vibe matches the menu and the freshness of the food. A little farmhouse in Greenpoint I simply couldn't recommend more. read more

Dont do it. Arrived at 1:50pm. Was not acknowledged for 10 minutes. Sat down and waited another 20 minutes to place our order (2:20pm). Food did not arrive until 3:20pm. Ridiculous. This place is not big - fits 30 people max. The amount of people who came and left before being served was unreal. Everybody complained - nothing changed. This is not based on the waitress who tried her best. She was making drinks, taking orders, apologizing. I dont know whos the owner of this establishment but theyre doing a horrendous job at managing, customer satisfaction, efficiency, and many many more. Took literally a hour to get our bacon, sausage, eggs and pancake. Wtf. read more

I'll be back because the food is delicious and I love the decor. Unfortunately, they seem to have bad customer service as a matter of policy. You are suggested to pay a minimum service tip of 20% before you even sit down. Then, when you do, you have to get up, cross the room, and refill your own tiny water glass (which wasn't fun for a disabled person). After the food arrives there is no checking in to see how things are, whether you need anything else, etc. Are we supposed to self-serve our own coffee refills too? It was almost funny, but mostly insulting. Like I said, I'll be back, but I'll be tipping with cash at the end of the meal and will take account of whether they still make disabled people serve themselves. read more

Took awhile to get my food. The pancake is huge, thick and fluffy and ask for extra syrup because you're going to need it but they won't be the best pancakes you ever had. The eggs are quality, flavorful and good. I didn't care too much about the bacon and sausage. If I lived in the area, I would come back with friends. I won't go out of my way for it. It's a good spot to bring a friend or significant other. Small restaurant and they use the space well, but you're a bit close to other patrons. Lastly, the orange juice they served tasted very similar to the Tropicana orange juice you find in the supermarket. It would have been nice if it was freshly squeezed orange juice. A must visit at least once if you're looking for a brunch spot. read more

Go elsewhere unless you want a pissy attitude and ridiculously long wait for mediocre food. All the waiters in here are inept, but in particular the one with a mustache & glasses who looks like Jeffrey Dahmer. After waiting 45 mins for our order and asking if there was any sign of it his response was "it's a full house". No sorry about the long wait, let me go check etc..... interesting choice of how to handle your customers. Will not return. read more

We had the fried chicken and biscuit with a hash brown side and everything was cooked to perfection. The hash brown had a lite crunch and wasn't greasy or soggy. The fried chicken was crispy and there was a side of homemade pickles plus hot sauce packets to give extra flavor. We took our food to go, but the ambiance of the restaurant looks like it's a cool, chill vibe. read more

This shit hot!!!!pay the air conditioning bill! Cost enough to eat there to pay the bill atleast!!

Nothing to add that everyone else hasn't already. It's a tiny place that fills up on the weekends. I'd go on a weekday and it's pretty quiet. The biscuits are like 3000 calories and worth every single one. Great comfort food, especially since LIC/Greenpoint is lacking in that department. 10/10 read more

Great food, delicious coffee and cute atmosphere. Our group came from out of town and Kyle was so great recommending places nearby. She was very attentive as well. I would recommend! read more

Biscuits and gravy dear Lord they were good! Filling and decadent. Nice atmosphere and friendly service too. Hash brown and eggs were great. I'll be back! Nice happy hour prices as well. read more

Stowaway is very cute place to grab a bite to eat. When I called about reservations I was told The establishment doesn't take them, so on a busy day make sure you come early. I came on a Saturday at 12:30 and there was no wait for a group of three. I ordered the sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich which comes on a biscuit. I would say the food was okay, but nothing out of this world. I liked the eggs which they mixed with the cheddar cheese but the biscuit was a bit on the dry side. I wouldn't mind coming back and trying a different dish on their menu. read more

Great spot! Good happy hour deals, especially the $1 oysters and the mussel fries. Fun ambiance and decor. Good spot to linger and drink a few beers/wine read more

Great home feel. Southern style food with a hint of the city's energy. Very approachable staff and great food. The owner of the restaurant is a hard worker and good person who has been in the community for about a decade . Will be coming back. I highly review eating here . Thank you stowaway for the love your staff showed my wife and I. read more

Incredible! I'll be back every weekend (lol... but really). Best brunch in greenpoint and I've been in the neighborhood for 8 years. Glad you guys are in the neighborhood. read more

My elderly mother got food poisoning at the restaurant this afternoon. This evening @ 6:50 pm we contacted the restaurant and requested to speak to the manager on duty. After speaking to the the person claiming to be the manager on duty who refused to give his name. When he question why I needed his name and he was very dismissive. He stated am I on trail and stated it was a shame what happened. The called ended with no managers name and no resolution. While the call was coming to a close what did your mother eat. After telling the manager poor hygiene or lack of food safety or both could have contributed to the illness. Unknow if others that dinned at the restaurant at any time today my have become sick. Its a shame that the restaurant would hire someone to manage the restaurant who lacks compassion. read more

Don't bother. I'd give them 0 stars if I could. Decided to try this place since I live in the neighborhood and regret it. As soon as we walked in for brunch no one greeted us but we figured they were busy and we just sat at the bar. After 10 minutes or so of waiting to see if someone will take our order I got a servers attention and we ordered something to drink. We got our drinks and immediately put in our order which was literally just a biscuit with butter and shrimp and grits. There were people who I saw get seated after us and were getting their food and after waiting 45- 50 minutes we finally gave up and decided to leave. Everyone working there simply ignored us. Keep in mind we were also the only POC in there so that was not great to feel conveniently getting no service compared to everyone else in the place. I work in the customer service industry and know the difference between busy and just bad customer service. No one explained why it was taking so long or even remotely apologetic about it, we were given attitude and told "brunch gets busy". The bartender with the biker vest checked us out passive aggressively and slammed his hand on the machine to check us out which was disgusting. We were not treated like humans. I will never return and never recommend this place , GP has many great places that treat customers with respect and with great food take your business somewhere else! read more

We came for lunch. Love restaurants that offer brunch menus. The fried chicken biscuit was great, with the chicken being very juicy. The roast beef sandwich was also very tasty. read more

Great little neighborhood place. Great hospitality. Food is wonderful. I go there for the $1 oyster happy hours, have been for brunch, lunch and dinner and haven't been disappointed yet. read more

So I like the idea of this place. The food is good. Sometimes it's fantastic! Poor execution. It seems like it doesn't know what it wants to be. The service is really not good. Like I get better service at Popeyes's. read more
