The only "diner" part of this place is the physical space it's in. In the best way too. Great food/drinks. Come early during the week to shave off your wait time. It's worth it.
AmateurConciergeFebruary 7, 2019So it might not be the greatest food always, but it’s a vibe and sometimes their ever changing menu has amazing dishes. The duck confit was bomb.com
Even if there's a long wait for a table, the chances that you can immediately snag bar seats for 2 are pretty high. The cheeseburger is top notch, as are the fries that come with it.
New York-y and just pretentious enough to be appealing. A small, ever-changing menu of farm to table, seasonal, organic, delicious simple food. They have their own butcher, bake their own bread.
Ish RaiJuly 23, 2017Great little place in Williamsburg, serving a different menu daily. Menu is small but amazing with intricate flavours for each dish. Also they serve a nice Mexican cola (low sugar) tastes so good!
EpicuriousOctober 2, 2014Housed in a converted dining car, it simply feels to good to eat here. The chefs are just as talented with vegetables as they are with the restaurant's grass-fed burger & large-format steak selection. Read more
Different menu every time, and I've never had a meal hat was less than excellent. I may be bused because I live so close but I think this is he best restaurant in Brooklyn by far
NicolaFebruary 15, 2015wonderful place to come and enjoy a Sunday brunch of weekdays too. ask for the daily courses. wonderful grass-fed meats including on of the best hamburgers around NYC. great Bloody Mary.
My favorite breakfast spot in Williamsburg. The menu rotates, but if it's there, get the poached eggs over polenta. Incredible.
KristinaFebruary 11, 2016Lovely diner with great grass-fed burger! Delicious food in a retro interior. #ps you won't be able to stop eating the self made ketchup. Best I've ever had
Alissa SimmonsMarch 6, 2013Vintage meets gourmet in this streetcar style diner and bar. You'll get things like delicious burgers, house potato chips, and a gourmet menu that's new daily. Last time there was rabbit bolognese!
Skyler DobinApril 9, 2015Cozy ambiance and the menu changes daily (so your server will walk you thru it as she writes it on your table). Good date spot with great food.
KathleenDecember 15, 2014honestly I think diner is a bit over-rated. good food, don't get me wrong... but if you think this place is good you should really try esme, river Styx in greenpoint. even better.
Tobias OtteNovember 9, 2014Amazing place for brunch or dinner. You might miss it since you don't see any signs. A bit expensive but definitely worth the money. They change the menu every week. You can't go wrong.
Chad WoodfordOctober 19, 2015Don't be fooled by the minimalist menu. The food is delicious and complex. Try the donut holes and the poached eggs. And the bacon.
Stina P.July 18, 2016one of the best burgers in all of new york. for dinner, the staff writes the menu on the table as they tell it to you- AmateurConciergeApril 2, 2015The crowd, staff, railcar ambience & food all smack of Williamsburg. great place to intro oldies to the Burg. The fact that there's no menu and waitresses write nightly selections on the table...
- If you don't end your brunch with one of their homemade, sugar encrusted scones with clotted cream, you should reconsider why you ever sat down for brunch in the first place.
The Corcoran GroupNovember 22, 2010Dine in an old-style diner with amazing fresh local food. The menu changes constantly. Space is at a minimum, so be prepared to wait.
- Any poached egg special of the day is going to be delicious. The one I tried with sauteed watercress and pancetta white bean puree on country toast was fantastic.
Jean-Philip GroblerAugust 5, 2016Best burger in Brooklyn! Also, very inventive farm to table menu that changes daily and great natural wine selection & cocktails.
Anna BrownAugust 15, 2016This place is LEGIT!! Menu changes daily with lots of options. Went to Diner for lunch and Sunday brunch, and was fantastic both times. Such a cool spot! Try it!!
Chicken sandwich all the way! Wish they would put it on the regular menu! Fantastic Bloody Mary and burger as well.
Paula Bendfeldt-DiazMay 13, 2014Best place to eat at In Williamsburg. Menu changes constantly. Food is fresh and its a great spot to people watch. Sun in the patio.
Condé Nast TravelerOctober 25, 2016“It's in our own backyard and, yeah, the burger's great, but Andrew Tarlow quietly invented a food movement that's been pretty special here for more than 15 years.” - Matt Duckor Read more
Joshua KeayNovember 21, 2014My favorite burger in New York. But basically everything is amazing. The only problem is that the poor waitstaff has to write he menu on the tablecloth every time.
Justin DeanAugust 28, 2014One of the only brunches in the city that competes w/ it's dinner menu. Both often surprise. It changes, don't hesitate to ask what the portion sizes are, they can be tricky about it.
Angela WenMarch 25, 2016Everything on the menu is fantastic and the decor is cute and cozy. Try the skinny burger as alternative to the regular burger, so good!!
Village VoiceApril 3, 2015The food is simple yet surprising, with selections ranging from a kickass burger to grilled turnips and seared amberjack. Read more
Rebecca GishkarianyFebruary 15, 2016Menu changes everyday, but if the rabbit and bacon meatballs are available get them. One of the most flavorsome appetizers I've ever tasted. Delicious!
Kev SkinnyAugust 17, 2014Bring some friends and make sure you have some money in your account. Different menu nightly. Try everything and you will regret nothing. Drink heavily to soften the blow when the check arrives.
Jane CryptoNovember 14, 2017Loved this place, setting is super cute and cozy and the food was delicious!
Alison GreshamAugust 14, 2021Splurge on the pulled pork dish with fried eggs. You won’t regret it. The bloody Maria was also delish.
GNTLMNJuly 22, 2012The guys of Marlow and Son's (next door in South Williamsburg) can do no wrong as far as I am concerned. The brunch menu is different each weekend, founded in whatever seasonal treasures inspire! - BP
Time Out New YorkAugust 7, 2013The key is the house-butchered, grass-fed meat: The plump patty of short rib, chuck and round has an iron-y tang intensified by a proper sear on the grill. (Critics' Pick) Read more
CharlottesMarch 29, 2015What a great place! Great vibe, delicious food (I highly recommend carrot app and strip steak) and friendly service. You couldn't be anywhere else.- GNTLMNJune 28, 2012The guys of Marlow and Son's (next door in South Williamsburg) can do no wrong as far as I am concerned.

Jen BergJanuary 18, 2015Brunch specials kill it. Start with the donuts and get the steak and eggs if you can. I will not stop coming here until I've had it all.
Samantha SchwartzJanuary 17, 2015Menu changes throughout day therefore is always verbally delivered via your server. Great, quality, honest food & drink in a comforting old diner space.
Eduardo GodinhoJanuary 26, 2018The place is a old train wagon. They type the menu in the table. I went for the famous burger and was a nice option. Very good food.
Blair MikelsApril 27, 2014The scone with cherries and cream is delectable, as are the egg specials. Perhaps Williamsburg's most dependable brunch resto.
- Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015Your waiter will scrawl the offerings on your paper tablecloth: expect two or three meat options, a fish or two, and veggies from farms in the Greater New York area. Read more
Stoph'sAugust 6, 2011A door that reminds me of my back porch- opens into a cozy, vintage- mirror up high space. The bar is stocked with local and specific. Spirits you won't find trendy here. The food A+ burger a must!- Josh MateoDecember 7, 2014If they're serving Buckwheat Pancakes, you MUST order them. Perfection. And sit at the bar/counter if you don't want to wait for a table.
NabeWiseAugust 30, 2011Their menu changes everyday, and all of their food is sourced from farmers markets in the morning. The food is eclectic and interesting, and always amazing. A great brunch spot in an old train car.
HarryJune 6, 2015Great diner, perfect for a weekend brunch. The menu changes regularly but it's always spot on! Don't miss the pancakes!
Michael AnthonyDecember 16, 2022Ceasar salad and burger are automatics. Vibe is cool and great food. Rotating menu but everything was good.- Udi RubinAugust 21, 2014The trout fish was amazing one of the best fish dishes I ever had. Elegant and tasty. The burger worth a visit too. Cool atmosphere
