About this business
For those New Yorkers who yearn for a taste of Vermont without leaving the city, Good Enough To Eat satisfies with down home decor and simple comfort food. It is incredibly popular for brunch, with lines around the corner; however, the food is not really good enough to warrant such a long wait. The small space can also get crowded for breakfast, lunch and dinner throughout the week.

Hungry in NY – We ordered takeout here and encountered the following problems: - Delivery took 90 minutes to arrive instead of 30 minutes as promised. - Food arrived cold and soggy. - Entrees differed significantly from menu descriptions. The "vegetarian" pizza included shrimp. - Staff was exceedingly rude when politely confronted with problems mentioned above. - Manager promised refund over phone, then changed her mind when we went in to collect. There are many great restaurants in Manhattan. Save yourself the time and mone... read more
I've-had-a-rough-day comfort food draws crowds, especially for weekend brunch. – The Scene The homey interior features countrified decor with exposed brick walls covered in quilts and knick-knacks, and a cow motif prevails without irony. Friendly servers offer helpful suggestions and guide diners through the popular list of daily and nightly specials. During nice weather, a few outdoor tables offer prime Upper West Side people-watching on Amsterdam Avenue. The Food Popular breakfast and brunch menus are comprised of wholesom... read more
A midwest feel in the big apple – Recently we were visiting a friend in New York and he suggested Good Enough to Eat for Brunch on the Upper West Side. Don't let the line discourage you from trying this fabulous down home restaurant, it goes rather fast. The menu is very adequate ranging from Strawberry Almond Waffles to a dish called the Lumber Jack and Mimossa's. All of us are from Ohio and the midwest feel and the quaint dining room are sure to make you feel you aren't in the middle of the city.
Will not be going back here – The waitstaff seems like they'd rather be somewhere else, and frankly so did I. The biscuits were like something from mcdonalds, the omlette was sub-par, the pancakes were barely average. Luckily we eventually managed to flag down our waiter for a second cup of coffee to wash down the uninspired food.
Wouldn't come back if they paid me... – Sub-par food and service that ranged from indifferent to rude, not a winning combination. The hostess was exceptionally horrible as she snapped at members of my party for moving out of the way as an elderly man was departing and condescendingly ltelling us that we couldn't split the bill more than 2 ways. Furthermore, food was disappointing at best, and it took 30 minutes to get a beer and 4 different requests to get a pickle that should have come with one of the sandwiches, even thoug... read more
No Waffling – Came for brunch and didn't have to wait very long to get what looked like a nice tabel outside, until we noticed the bus stop. How about a little diesel exhaust with your coffee? The service was prompt and adequate. The big downer sat on the plate like limp cardboard: The waffles tasted like they had been made the night before, left out and then halfway reheated in the microwave. Limp, chewy, dense. You can make much better yourself at home. The rest of the food was fine, including fruit, egg white omelet and c... read more
Best breakfast in the city – while it is a small place, the service is great and it is very low key. Great food and the pumpkin french toast is the best. I will definatly be visiting good enough to eat again
Barely good enough to eat – The meatloaf ($16.95) that others love was bland, mashed potatoes cold and tasteless, and peas and carrots were as good as you would make at home. My fish of the day, halibut ($21.95) was made with a lemon sauce, and although tasty, did not go well with the sweet flavored lentils served with it. The salad served with the meal was fine, but nothing special. The bread was like diner rolls that are often left on the plate. An Ice tea was a pricy three dollars. The service was fine, child friendly, an... read more
Go for the food – The wait staff could care less about you or your business but once you get past the snub waitresses and rush rush rush finish, you just may return anyway. Why? They serve terrific traditional American comfort food. Skip the dry, flavorless corn bread and order the meat loaf. I thought my mother made great meat loaf (sorry mom). As a side, the broccoli mashed potatoes were something I never tried before and were excellent as were the vegitables. Not too over cooked or too crunchy. You may want to skip desert... read more
