About The Chef

The Chef is a popular spot for breakfast, brunch, and lunch, known for its scratch gravy and delicious menu choices like Crab Cake Benedict and Smoked Salmon Florentine Frittata. The restaurant has a great reputation, with many customers returning after years and praising items like the smothered burrito, quesadilla, and biscuits and gravy. Although weekends can bring a long wait, the outside seating makes it enjoyable, while weekdays often see little to no wait. Diners find the food filling and worth the wait, enjoying their meals and appreciating the attentive waitstaff, who bring plenty of smiles and quickly clear tables for the next guests. The atmosphere is inviting, making it a great choice for those looking for a memorable breakfast outing with exceptional food and service. Many customers have had great experiences and appreciate the care they receive from the staff, with the ambiance enhancing their enjoyment. The Chef is highly recommended for anyone seeking a delightful dining experience. The biscuits and gravy are noted as amazing and rich, and the corned beef hash is praised for its big chunks of meat. While some dishes may have minor downsides, like tough steak or spicy potatoes, the overall positive experiences keep customers coming back to try more.

Happened to be in Manhattan with me niece to have breakfast… Awesome food and the staff is very nice (thank you Jeanette!)

Another great visit to MHK and the Chef. The s'mores hot chocolate is 🔥

Wonderful food and service. We drove up from Lawrence and will definitely make a special visit next time we are here. The food was delicious.
