Spent the night in Manhattan and was looking for a good brunch place to eat. Stumbled across this place and decided to give it a try. It was hopping! Had to wait about 10 minutes, they offer you a coffee while you wait. The food was amazing! Everyone else's food looked amazing too! Lowkey vibe, great service. My husband ordered the breakfast pizza, I had the steak ham bennies. Generous portions. If we are ever in town again, definitely hitting this place up again!

Small neat resturant that makes you think of seeing it on the food show Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.

We will definitely be back! The biscuits and gravy are amazing! So rich and creamy! The biscuit has just the right amount of crisp on the outside and soft inside. The coffee is pretty strong. We like that though. After I added my sweetener and creamer, it was so delicious! The toast and warm strawberry jam, which is more like a syrup, was also delish! Corned beef hash was full of big chunks of meat. Yum! The downsides. Steak was a little tough, but seasoned well and still really good. I'd get it again. Homestyle potatoes were so spicy with black pepper, I couldn't eat them. Jay loved them though. Next time I'll get over medium eggs as the over easy was soooo runny. Even the whites. All in all, the good stuff so outweighs the not so good, I can't wait to try more stuff! UPDATE! Everything I've had here is good, and we come here quite a bit! We started to get a half order of the Hash to share, it's so delicious! The steak didn't work for me, but the potatoes have never had the pepper ⁰problem since the first time. The Dang Quesadilla is really good. I often get the oatmeal with crispy bacon. I love it! 11/22 We're back! The Special today was a Steak Fajita Bowl and man! It was packed full of good stuff!

Pancakes and omelettes are great, but things like the eggs benedict plates are just average at best.

We had a great time at the chef! There was a wait, as there often is, but it didn’t seem too long and was a nice day! The service was great and we enjoyed our experience!

Another fantastic breakfast at The Chef Cafe. By far, the best breakfast in town. Great service and quantity of food. Get here early, for the restaurant fills up quickly.
Great food, great service and will go back!
