We reached there at 8:45am on a Sunday to join an already long line. Restaurant opens at 9am. We ordered their famous blueberry pancakes, hand cut fries, and bottomless coffee. The restaurant itself is nice and clean with very good service, but I didn’t find anything extra ordinary about the pancakes. They were good but not out of the world as some websites and reviews claim. Overall, a decent experience!

First time here. I had the pancakes! They were delicious. My daughter had the chicken and waffles. She enjoyed them. They’re a bit pricey, but definitely worth treating yourself. For those of you that don’t know the neighborhood, I would not suggest driving there because parking will be a nightmare. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. I will definitely go back to try different items on the menu.

If you're looking for an amazing pancake breakfast experience, Clinton St. Baking Company is definitely the place to go. The pancakes are super fluffy and come in all sorts of delicious flavors - we highly recommend the blueberry pancake! Unfortunately, the restaurant was full when we went so we had to do a to-go order, but the service was great and they even packed up some extra syrup for us. Overall, we absolutely loved our experience here and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a special breakfast treat.

They say you haven’t done brunch in NYC if you didn’t hit this spot. Well they’re kinda right, it’s the quintessential place for brunch! For me, they have the BEST blueberry pancakes there is! It’s so perfect paired with their famous maple butter. 2nd runner up is their Spanish scramble which is really delicious! It’s got cheese and sausage so good! It’s kinda hard to get a reservation so book ahead. Also reserve some room for the amazing pastries and desserts! I love the milkshake and the blueberry cheesecake was perfection as well! Great service and servers are always pleasant!

Some of the best pancakes you will ever eat. Get the blueberry but share them if you can as it’s a large portion. I usually go with the chorizo scramble with hash browns, which are both cooked to perfection. Everything I’ve tried has been amazing.
Visiting words of wisdom - if you plan to go on the weekends, go early or be prepared to wait 2-3 hours for a table. You can only make reservations during the week, which I highly recommend you do. Otherwise you will still have at least a 30-45 min wait during brunch.

Unless you’re getting here right when they open or have reservations, expect to wait. From my experience, the host hasn’t particularly been the friendliest or best at optimizing seating arrangements so it definitely has an affect on how long it’ll take to be seated. Will it be worth it? Well, I’ve been coming here for years and haven’t been deterred by the waiting game. The pancakes are by far the fluffiest and best I’ve ever had. Other breakfast items are nothing out of the ordinary and overpriced, but I would recommend the grilled chicken sandwich if you want a non-breakfast item. If you’re in Dumbo, Brooklyn, I’d opt for the Time Out Market location instead. The pancakes here are of the same quality and they offer their breakfast menu all day.

If you can cope with the struggle to get a reservation, the lines, the hype and insanity, you can actually get a very good breakfast here! For Manhattan, prices are reasonable. Portions are big. Pancakes are tasty, although I wanted the blueberries mixed in (not piled on top in goop). Biscuits are good, everyone seemed happy with their meals. Staff works hard to keep things moving.

Bold statement coming...Best bacon I've had! There, I said it. Try the blueberry pancakes too. They use wild blueberries and they are much more flavorful than traditional blueberry pancakes, plus there is a bit of crisp on one side, which compliments the pancakes perfectly. There are only 3 locations on Earth and this is the only one in the U.S., so if you are around, try this place out. Walk the food court afterwards. Tons of great looking restaurants!

Made a reservation for 8pm (yay breakfast for dinner) so there wasn’t much of a wait time. Had the blueberry pancakes and chicken & waffles. Pancakes were great (definitely a must try) and the chicken was pretty tasty (wasn’t a huge fan of the waffles). I like that the chicken was a fillet/breast because it’s practical and more enjoyable to eat. Oh and the Mabel butter sauce is where it’s at!
Overall had a pleasant experience with good customer service.

Came here for the hype, so I had to order pancakes just because it’s what this place is known for. The special was blueberry pancake, which was pretty good, but nothing extraordinary. However, my boyfriend ordered the omelet that turned out to be very good, very fluffy and flavorful omelette.
It serves drinks, which is a plus. My boyfriend ordered blood orange screwdriver and I ordered mimosa, they were both good and reasonably priced.
I’d come back to try other food when I can get a reservation. The waitlist is long, definitely make reservation ahead of time.
