At brunch time, the Farmer's Breakfast is the way to go! A massive plate of 2 sunnyside up eggs, home fries, housemade sausage, Faicco's bacon, ham & country toast.

The kitchen closes at 11 pm and though the cocktail bar is open later. Start off with a dozen perfectly-shucked oysters, follow up with the meringue-like weisswurst, and finish with crispy Guinea hen. Read more

Possibly best steak frites this side of the Atlantic. Juicy steak, crispy charred on the outside. So good you leave the sauce right where it is. Goes well with a patio table and a bottle of red!

The Amish chicken and pork schnitzel are highlights from the dinner menu. If you’re dining in a large group, make sure to get a few of the housemade sausages for the table. Read more

5 oz. Burger: The thing about most burgers is that they're too much burger. That's why five ounces is perfect. Enough beef to satisfy my craving and a perfect proportion to condiments, cheese, and bun Read more

Ok, wow. This restaurant is a pantie dropper. Food and drink obviously amazing. But the atmosphere and service outshines how fkn great everything tastes. Nice job Frankie you sexy bastard.
Jane KatzJune 20, 2016
if you're here with 4+ friends, start w the wedge and the sausage platter (as an appetizer! Tried the guinea hen and the steak frites and actually would come back for the crunchy, fried bird! Do it.

Best fried chicken sandwich I’ve had in a long time. Great bun, delicious chicken, thick cut pickles, and plenty of aioli/mayo. Strong recommend.

There are brunch spots that are ideal for boozing, and those better for nursing a night of overindulgence. Prime Meats, luckily, fits nicely into both categories. Read more

Our fave dishes - Bibb Lettuce, Spaetzle, Arugula & Pear Salad - aren’t heavy on the meat! So we can feel good ordering the Cote de Boeuf for 2 served with watercress - which is basically a salad!

This place is total hipster but it's also got amazing food. Go on Friday/Saturday for the Cote de Boeuf - it's an amazing steak meant to be shared. Might be my favorite steak in NY.

At lunch, the (cold) sliced ribeye sandwich on pizza bianca is superb. The lunchtime burger is on the small side (5oz) but chock full of dry-aged flavour. Great fries too.

Love brunch here. The French toast is simple and really good. The turkey bacon sandwich is great too. Also I don't like biscuits and gravy but I love it here!

Menu is constantly rotating but the pork chop with heirloom lima beans was so good. Pork chop was extremely tender and juicy. If spaetzle is on the menu, order it.

I love this place. Food is presented like a piece of art. Best hamburger I've ever had. Try Prichard Rye Whiskey (photo)
Kevin SkobacFebruary 24, 2015
You can't go wrong with the more affordable steak frites or the treat-yourself dry aged cote de bouef for two
Nikki JAugust 22, 2013
Best Steak Frites I have ever had and a very generous portion size. Pretzel is fine but very small and only worth it for a taste of the delicious stone ground mustard

Punches are changed daily and are just $5 per cup. Get the American Beauty, a large bowl of liquor with notes of strong black tea and raspberry.
Ethan McCartyDecember 16, 2016
If you have 4 people, get the giant steak -- it is 40oz. If you have that with some sides and one other entree you will be loving life.

At this hipster-Germanic bistro in the borough’s Cobble Hill neighborhood, heaping plates of choucroute and sausages and creative cocktails explain the long waits and devoted followers.
Henry BridgeJanuary 14, 2016
Tasty pear old fashioned and awesome (albeit $23) burger. Came before and had curiously bad wine, so would recommend cocktails.

Yummy brunch - better than Bubbys & Buttermilk Channel IMO. The Maria Bloody Mary with Tequila rocks as do the bacon and biscuits. And if you don't try the pretzel, you have seriously missed out.
Daniel McDonoughAugust 21, 2017
The chicken sandwich is insane. If you like pickles you won't be disappointed. Trust me.
Time Out New YorkJuly 29, 2011
Try the exceptional Black Angus burger, ground daily, with a satisfying crust from the grill that gives way to a gorgeously pink interior that coats the mouth like steak tartare. Read more

The Côte De Boeuf is sold by the ounce with a minimum order of 27 ounces (about 1 3/4 pounds). Tackle a smaller steak on your own, or go for the 52-ounce monster to share.

This a family fav for brunch and dinner. Careful, the cocktails while great can get pretty expensive.
Mike DizonJanuary 4, 2012
Bone marrow, steak frites, the wurst, the schnitzel, and the mushroom spatzel. I dare u to order everything at the same time and finish it all! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

What a great meal! The Cote de Boeuf for Two was off the hook. One of the tastiest steak offerings I ever had.Marty

Great brunch if you like a good steak. Surprisingly to me though, it's not a steakhouse but German restaurant. So if you go for lunch, don't expect a steaky menu.

The steal on the menu is that pork chop. $19 or $21, huge, taters & greens, out. If you go with steak frites the Grenache is a perfect, smoky pairing.
Emily KaneNovember 24, 2016
Some of the best brunch in the city. Trust Frankie.
PriceMarch 19, 2012
Not one for your weird vegetarian pals, but great stuff and great decor. The egg & swiss sandwich for brunch is amazing on a homemade biscuit.
Mickey TachibanaNovember 7, 2015
Get a Salad Nicoise for Brunch! Ask your server for extra bread that you could get for free if you ask nicely.
JackieSeptember 22, 2012
German meats with the spaetzle were the way to go. The specialty cocktails are also delicious. German potato salad is on the tart side...and bacon-y.
Ricky SherrillJune 27, 2016
Be sure to order some sausage for the table. It's very good & will not stay long. The sides are good too.

[from a Porterhouse guy] the steak frites was the best strip steak I've ever had. Thick, ton of flavor, perfectly cooked. Super impressed. PS-go more than medium rare and our friendship is over.
Serious EatsApril 17, 2013
A more casual steakhouse that still delivers great meat, with a solid burger and brunch as well.

Mushroom Spatzel. Small is a good side for 1 person. Large could easily be split btw 2 people. For dinner, i suggest the white 1 Bavarian sausage with a small Spatzel. Great cocktails too!
Carolina RevillaMay 9, 2015
Nice decoration inside, good for families or a date. Had the farmers breakfast for brunch and it was great.
eric mortensenApril 3, 2015
Great sausages and tartare. The three rifles cocktail is balanced and perfectly delicious. The pretzel is unremarkable.

The Côte De Boeuf is sold by the ounce with a minimum order of 27 ounces (about 1 ¾ pounds). Tackle a smaller steak on your own, or go for the 52-ounce monster to share.

Go for brunch: Make sure to try the buttermilk biscuit, poached egg with smoked salmon, and a Bloody Mary or the Campari and grapefruit

The burger is to die for, especially paired with the bourbony-deliciousness of a Parlor Game. Don't miss the cheese spaetzle. Really. Don't.
BKSeptember 5, 2015
Best steak frites I've ever had. Charred octopus and oysters hit the spot to kick off the meal. A+
Danny CarnajeSeptember 7, 2014
The dudes at the bar are chill. My go-to drink (besides the 40oz in my bag) is the Three Rifles! Shots fired.

Brunch is good and so are brunch prices. Serving sizes are also just right for me. I hate huge portions.
Stefanie BrücklerJuly 4, 2015
They serve Austrian pumpkin seed oil with one of their salads!!! <3also the Spätzle are great!

Weekend brunch is shockingly uncrowded. I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes... even on a Sunday afternoon. Nice alternative to Buttermilk Channel.
