Our Guestbook
“ The Grey Dog is a super chill and relaxing breakfast spot that serves up some seriously delicious breakfasts. I highly recommend the classic Grey Dog breakfast - it's totally worth it! They make their scrambled eggs so soft and fluffy, and if you're a pancake lover, you have to try the salted caramel pancakes with crushed pistachios! ”
“ This is a good spot with classic brunch foods in Union Square. We came here on a Sunday at noon and the place was packed. We had a reservation and were seated immediately, but there were people waiting on our table when we left, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation in advance. I got a classic omelette with mushrooms, tomato, and peppers (your choice of 3 fillings), which came with a generous amount of home fries and toast. Everything was tasty and fresh and a very filling large portion. Service was good and the decor was cute. ”
“ The food was good, but the service and the ambiance were even better. I would definitely come back! We all enjoyed what we ate, just a bit pricey for what we ordered ”
“ Great brunch spot in union square! It seems to be a very popular breakfast/ brunch location. My only tid is that they did not have decaf coffee (trying to kick the caffeine in 2025). I was craving a sort of Mexican brunch bowl and they were kind enough to let me swap the eggs for the meat and add a side of crema. It was delish! I ate the entire thing. Definitely will return! The staff were super upbeat and friendly. Definitely a sit down spot for a brunch where you can take your time and relax in a super quirky and cute interior. ”
“ Walking in you can't help but to feel at home (except decor far exceeds what is in our home). Numerous breakfast options, all of which sound good. Plant based eggs, avocado as an option vs. meat...so very veggie friendly, and the menu makes it easy to find the veggie options. Coffee was good and arrived quickly with water; both were kept filled during the meal, another positive. We had the classic omelette and Grey Dog breakfast, both of which were enjoyed. Definitely would return. ”
“ Let me first say that I love the grey dog. It was the breakfast that made me a fan back in 2016-17 AND since it's been awhile, I had to go back BUT to try the dinner/entree options. This is one of their smaller locations and although they were BUSY, we were still able to make last minute reservations and get seated asap. The burger was... good, if you just want a decent burger. However, the Philly wrap was really delicious so I'll recommend that. The Bloody Mary was delicious also (Bellini also), you'll be surprised how many places mess up the BM - so big shoutout to the grey dog for that. This is a place I'll forever come back to. I think you can get anything here and be pleased honestly. Check out any of the locations ”
“ I was here earlier right after opening and this place does fill up fast but service is quick here so we did get lucky to get a table when we got there. We were sat down and greeted immediately and they have an extensive menu for breakfast and lunch. I had the egg and cheese croissant with home fries and it was the most crunchy yet buttery croissant I've had in a while. The eggs were perfectly scrambled with the cheese and the home fries were crisp as well. The place has a very welcoming and friendly vibe to it and it's a perfect place to stop by for a meal. I'd love to come back one day and try their French toast. ”
“ I had a great experience at the grey dog!! They only seat full parties, so we had to wait a bit before getting seated. It was kind of slow because our friend got the wrong location (make sure to double check beforehand!!) so we missed our grace period, but the staff was super nice about getting us seated at the next available table!! Very accommodating and friendly staff overall The environment was a bit loud as they were playing loud music, but it was still fun and my friends had a great time! The decor is also really fun there's a ton of interesting themes going on The food was so good! I got a breakfast bowl which they let me sub out the poached egg for scrambled eggs, and the hummus in it was so good. My friends also really enjoyed their grey dog sub and chorizo hash. I tried some of their fries and they were great. Portions were really big! Overall solid place for brunch ”
