  3. Awesome coffee and homemade biscuits!!
    I have been to this restaurant about four times, and love it each time more. The wait time is unbelieveably long, so I stick to going on weekday mornings - on the weekends the wait time can be upwards of an hour. The restaurant is super small so it is a litlle cramped, but the food is so worth it. The coffee is really good and the biscuits are so fresh, they just fall apart. I usually have a brea...

  4. give the owners a break! great food means trouble!
    I have been reading all your reviews and can sympathize with all you say. Great food means wait time. All the hype means high expectations. Doesn't mean they cannot fullfill them but in a small place it does require several people working their butts off with no time off. You cannot duplicate the owners - they work hard but cannot always be there. We expect everyone to do the same job and cook...

  6. Weekday Dinner
    Sure, Brunch is alll Hype at Clinton St. But my buddies and I like it for dinner after work- Beer and Burger Special is a great choice. Reviewer said bad looking hosts, but we sit at the bar because of some especially cute and friendly bartenders.

  7. Improve service, please!!!
    We've been customers from the neighborhood for more than 7 years and I have to say we now think twice before walking down to Clinton Street Baking Company. For example, today we went to Le Gamin on 5th Street which was really good. WHY: The hostess on Sundays is rude and has a really short fuse with customers. Yes the place is mobbed on Sundays but that's no reason not to use words like 'ple...

  8. Undercooked chicken
    Hi My boyfriend ordered the stuffed whole chicken, and the stuffing was clearly bad... let's just say we weren't well for about 5 days. Another friend who is trained as a chef ordered chicken on a different occasion, and when she bit into it it was bloody. BEWARE!!! I was sad to find out this because until that day, it was a very pleasant place to go. I think I will have to avoid it from ...

  9. OVERRATED....is an understatement!
    Ok, the "good reviews" are obviously from people who have never been to IHOP. My friend and I had the Blueberry Pancakes, the Banana Pancakes, Buttermilk biscuits, bacon and egg. I'm not sayin' the food was horrible, but definitely not worth a 2-hr wait and a $60 bill!.....I believe 85% of the patrons waiting in the cold for two hours, are there for no other reason than obtainng the braggings rig...

    Finally got to Clinton St. after months of being too tired to wait on the line that I had been made aware of by all of the other reviews. Anyway, so as expected my friend and I waited for an hour and a half before we were seated (We went on Saturday morning by the way). Anyway, ordered the buttermilk biscuit sandwich with eggs,bacon and hash browns as well as the banana walnut pancakes..my frien...

  12. Best Fried Chicken
    Yes, their brunches are amazing and the wait is epic but I like to go there for dinner. The fried chicken is juicy, never dry! The fried green tomatoes are cooked in a delicate cornmeal and are a wonderful complement. Steer away from the crab cakes, small and didn't taste fresh. The baked items are always good so save room for dessert, all are amazing. Usually a biscuit with a side of jam is all...

  13. Would not recommend
    I discovered this place because of city guide. However after having brunch there this past Sunday I would say that this place is definitely overrated. We ordered a Spanish omelet and a Vanilla waffle that was topped with pecans and pears. We would recommend the Waffle but not the Spanish omelet. Most around us were ordering the Pancakes. Quite honestly, for the reviews and ratings on this s...

    I went to CSBC this past Sat. morn alone -- arrived at 9:20 and was third in line. I didn't realize they don't seat until 10am. I watched the line form and a hostess came out to take everyone on the line's name. When they call you in for your table at 10, all the water and silverware are at your seat. I found the service excellent and very friendly, as was the hostess. No one tried to rush m...

  16. AVOID!
    Not so sure what the rave about this place is compared with any other diner on the street. I ordered the special, Truffle Fried Egg, what a disappointment! Oily! Not seasoned! And something I could have made better at home! We also had the pancakes, which were ho-hum...The biscuits were so dry I had to drink a few glasses of water just to get down the bites...Pancakes were like anything you ...

    NOT WORTH WAITING AN HOUR AND A HALF FOR COLD EGGS.....This place must have gone down hill from when other recomended it. We got there at 10:30 and were finally seated at 12:00 after speaking to the rude red head hostess that sat three sets of people in front of our party of two. Once we were seated and ordered the food arrived it and it was cold I mean really cold. Not worth the hype! Don'...

  18. Perfect
    This place is perfect. Go early to avoid line up.. It opens at 10 during wkend, we'd go at or before 930 to make sure we can be seated right at 10. I really dont want to tell anyone, but their dinner is even a better deal. Go early on a weekday to avoid lineups.

  19. smallest place on earth
    Read all the reviews here and was excited about having brunch last Sunday. Sadly, I hadn't read that it is one of the SMALLEST places becasue if I had, I wouldn't have waisted my time. Be aware that the establishment is TINY...and unless you've already eaten and aren't starving then this might be the place for you to go....otherwise pick one of the other thousands of restaurants in NYC.

  20. Make the Most of the wait...It's worth it!
    I have been to CSB several times but the SF-Crew made its first stop there a couple of weeks ago, and I suggest enforcing a no complaint rule b/c you WILL need to wait on a wknd. However, I'm sure all members of my crew will concur IT'S WORTH THE WAIT! You just need to be creative. We waited 2 hrs, but during those hours we made the most of it...we went to a cute place down the street and had ...

  21. NOT WORTH THE WAIT, AVOID WEEKENDS
    I would def recommend this place but only once to see what the freaking hype is about, but it is not worth the wait especially if you have to deal with a bitchy hostess with a power trip. The service is barely average, the hostess was not nice ( excuse my language but she was just awful, miserable and not pleasant). As a hostess, you the first impression people have about the restaurant, you sh...

    Service was not bad at all, although we went at 2:30 pm on a Saturday. I got the Chef's omelette (brunch special), with smoked trout and caviar, very good. The avocado salad consisted of 3 ingredients: greens (like you get from a bagged salad), a few thin slices of red onion, and avocado slices. No flavor, unimpressive, nothing luxurious about it! You should definitely try this place; jus...

  26. Soso Dinner, Medicore Service
    I've eaten at Clinton Str Baking Co a few times for breakfast and brunch, this was my first time having dinner. The food, Crab Cakes, Coleslaw and Sweet Potato fries was the absolute worst. The crab cakes and fries were burnt. The coleslaw wasn't great but it was the main attraction. The biscuts served were extremely hard, almost like a pretzel with very little taste. The waiter was inattentive, ...

    We are visiting New York and read about the Clinton St Baking Co and Restaurant.... and just HAD to check it out for ourselves. What a delightful treat!!

    Best breakfast I've ever had. The pancakes didn't taste like a "mix" but like a light cake, served with a mixture of melted butter and syrup. The fried green tomatoes were the best! Crispy on the outside and melted in your mouth. And the bisquits and ham tasted better than any other bisquits and ham I've had. My boyfriend and I were in heaven and thought that it was worth the 3000 mile trip just ...

    My friends and I went to this place on a Sunday around 12, which I knew from its reputation alone would mean epic wait times. Well we waited for 2 hours just as promised but it seems that the table seating is less than democratic. We watched again and again as the hostess turned away people because they "couldn't seat any groups of 4" and then 5 minutes later a group of 4 attractive girls walk ...

  31. Worth the Wait
    I went to Clinton St. Baking Company for brunch on a Saturday morning. My friend and I waited an hour and I have to say that this place is worth the wait. The food is delicious. The fresh menu is orginial and creative. Everything, from the orange juice to the jam, is homemade and extremely wholesome. I had the Spanish Scamble and it was just amazing. Go for brunch or breakfast!!

  32. BEST Brunch/Breakfast/Lunch. Period.
    Chef Neil's love of food is evident on every plate coming out of the kitchen. Simply my favorite NY restaurant. Consistently good. Hint: Go on a weekday and avoid the 1+ hr wait on weekends... lunch and dinner is largely unrated...and also terrific. This place is open 7 days a week! Just GO already.

    I know it's a very popular place, but it would be appreciated if the hostess and bartender treated their customers better. The tall red-head was curt and uncaring. One customer cut us in line and instead of mediating the situation, she told us to "battle it out ourselves". We decided not to make a stink and put ourselves back on the waiting list. While waiting for our table, we tried to order two...

    For brunch, their pancakes and French toast are great, but I prefer the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon. If you go for dinner, try the appetizers but don't over order since the portions are often quite generous. For takeout I recommend the berry scones and biscuits (rich but worth it).

    Well, no secret that a brunch here on Saturday or Sunday will be a long wait - but once you bite into those pancakes, it will have been worth every minute.

We ordered the eggs bene and huevos rancheros. The food was served very quickly and was delicious!! We'd recommend both. If you are looking for very catering service, you may be disappointed. Although the server didn't check on us, we en...

  70. best neighborhood dinner
    Dinner, drinks, dessert. Fried chicken and fish tacos are the best. Good for dates with lovers or friends. Bring a large group..it's quiet from 6-8.

  72. fantastic little spot
    I used to live on that block and would make a point to stop in as often as possible...even if it was to take out a biscuit. Those biscuits are unparallelled!

  73. more than a bakery
    clinton st. baking company was a great find on clinton and houston st. Small place, but has a full bar, delicious ice cream, and an outstanding weekend brunch. The wait is long if you don't get there just as brunch starts.

  74. outta this world
    They have some ice cream, I forgot the name of it, but it was rated the best Ice Cream in New York. And they're the only restaurant who has it. Delicious. Not to mention the full bar which can help cure your hangover with a delicious brunch. I had a group of 10, and this place was great. You just gotta get there at the right time on the weekends, cause it gets busy.

  75. Homemade heaven
    Everything is homemade and now that dinner is served I'm totally hooked. The fried chicken and Key Lime Meringue pie make life worth living. Not bad for a little humble spot on the lower east side! Rush before the rest of the city figures it out.

  76. Wonderful and hearty
    Great hearty brunch (yummy blueberry pancakes, eggs benedict). Estimate when you'll get hungry, and get there 30 - 40 minutes before estimated time... there will definitely be at least a 25 minute wait.

  77. sunday brunch
    my mother and i walked into this place with no idea, and had a very nice sunday brunch there...we thought it was another downtown diner, so we were pleasently surprised at the quality of food. It got very crowded when we were about to leave, so id say get there early for brunch.
