    Excellent for lunch or breakfast

    I'm going to do two reviews here in one... breakfast and lunch! Went here 2 weeks ago for lunch. We were seated immediately. My girlfriend had the turkey burger, and I had the Mad Russian. She liked her burger, and I had some of the potatoes that came with it, and they were excellent. The Mad Russian was really good... way more between the bread than I was expecting, and was stuffed after. Came with a macaroni salad which was really good... not gloppy at all. Don't bother with the cranberry spritzer.. was basically like a flat cranberry soda. 2 lunches, 2 non-alchy dirnks, plus tax and tip was $33. For breakfast the following week, we had the eggwhite omlette, and the creole scramble. The gf really liked the eggwhites, and I loved the creole scramble. And oh yeah, both came with popovers... those things just rule. Nothing like 'em. Service was good, as the a/c was broken and they changed our seats immediately on request. Total for 2 coffee, 2 breakfasts, tax and tip was $38. Overall, I highly recomment this place for breakfast and lunch.

    Great brunch!

    My husband and I went here for brunch today. We only had to wait 10 minutes for a table for two. The service was great. Our food was great! Our only complaint was the noise level in the dining room, but we were seated in a corner. We'll be back!

    Decent Brunch spot

    For brunch on a Sunday, be prepared to wait anywhere between 40-60 min (doesn't matter if 2 people or 6 people). Once seated, the server was great, got us everything quickly and friendly. Be sure to ask the server if your meal comes with the Pop over itself, otherwise get a basket! The Carlinha and Eggs Bene were the favorites in the group, the french toast nothing to rave about and the flopover was a flop. The Creole was a bit on the harsh side with the overload of horseradish. Overall great meal and a good brunch spot.

    food alright.. service not much

    I went to the popover cafe two or three times. The food was pretty good the first time I went.. then the quality started decreasing and the last time I went, nobody took our orders for like 30 mins. So we decided to leave and never come back. Two months ago I wouldve said yes, definitely a great place.. today.. its very poor.

    BEST FOOD EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I would do unforgivable things for those popovers. I've been going here for 19 years and the popovers get better every time. The french toast is my other favorite. The servers are always very nice. And yes they're a bit expensive, but those popovers are just PRICELESS!

    just Love it..

    I thought this place was just fantactic.. full of character.. This is a restaurant where the locals come in and sit down like they are at their own kitchen table. we felt so welcome when we came in ... The menu had so many choices and the breakfast we had (eggs popey) was absolutely delicious.... very fresh. Our server was very attentive and charming.... even though the place was packed.. we felt very comfortable there... we will definitely be back to try dinner there.

    Popovers - A must visit for us!

    Popovers is a breakfast/brunch must visit for our family. There are usually 8 of us, ages 10 - 55, and we have always enjoyed our food. We love the namesake popovers - warm, freash and sooo good. Only had lunch there once, but really enjoyed the burger. Prices may be a little high - but in line with most of what we find when visiting NYC. There's almost always a wait and it's fairly cramped inside. Usually our servers are very good.
