Worth the $$$$

by brunchfanatic

Brunch means a relaxed meal with good people. The food should be exactly as you imaged in your mind and the service should be friendly and attentive.

That is exactly what you get at this place. After trying to go the trendy route, I have confirmed for myself that nothing beats a classic.

• Pros: Delightfully old-time NY service
• Cons: A little chilly if you sit right near the door

surprisingly tasty

by amiam

it doesn't look like much, and boy is it cramped and uncomfortable but for smoked fishes... wow!

i didn't like the onions in the omelet, but that's clearly a preference thing.

Jam Packed but Good food

by uwsemily

Barney's gets incredibly crowded and they stuff people into little corners next to families with babies (ugh) but the servers are attentive, quick, and get your order exactly how you want it. I think the portion are just right for a normal person - if you are looking for a big satisfying brunch, go to Sarabeth's - but if you are looking for some solid eggs or some smoked fish and bagel, Barney's takes the cake. My only real issue with Barney's is that it gets soooo hot in there - wear layers if you are going to eat there.
