Editorial Review for Good Enough to Eat – by Citysearch Editors
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 wholesome and old-fashioned food: Irish oatmeal, perfectly fluffy omelets (named after New York neighborhoods) and bacon that's extra thick and lean. Pumpkin French toast and chocolate-chip coconut pancakes come with real maple syrup and strawberry butter. At dinner, the quesadilla of the day is a popular starter. Entrees consist of cozy culinary Americana like mac and cheese, fish-and-chips and a classic meat loaf with mashed potatoes. Made-from-scratch desserts are a sure bet for ending the meal with flourish.

The food is very good, especially Deep South, Chili, and the Cheese Board. The service is terrible. DO NOT GET IT DELIVERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After hearing about Good Enough to Eat while waiting in line at another renowned brunch spot months ago, I finally made the trek up to the UWS for a weekday lunch. My fellow diners and I ordered a breakfast quesadilla and lump crabmeat pizza as they were both specials, as well as a macoroni and cheese. Unfortunately, the quesadilla was on the small side (6 inch diameter) and tasted mediocre (sausage, egg, peppers with GETE salsa and sour cream). The pizza which I sampled was tasty but rather doughy. The mac and cheese was cheesy but definitely on the oily side. Having waited about 20-25 minutes for our entrees, we had plenty of time to take in the knicks knacks and very neat decorative paper spring flowers, not to mention the bake goods' display case. Having given in to temptation, we sampled the banana chocolate chip peanut butter frosted cake which was very good. Our waiter was attentive and polite. I suppose I will have to give the GETE brunch menu a chance sometime, but will not rush to do so. My allegiance still lay with a certain Gramercy eatery's brunch menu.
Pros: Cake
Cons: Pricey given the mediocrity
