Couldn’t even wait to take a picture. Second time coming to The Chef, and it has been delicious both times. Their biscuits and gravy is so great! The breakfast pizza is fun to get. Their steak bennie and veggie bennies have been really good both times. Friendly staff!

Amazing breakfast but even greater people. I left my jacket at the restaurant and that same day and at the restaurant expense, they mailed it to me. The Midwest people are the best and the food is amazing.

I was in Manhattan on business and wanted something a little special. The Chef came highly recommended by a friend, so in spite of the crazy construction detours, Google got me to your place. The breakfast service was fast and friendly and very helpful to a first-time customer. My order of hash and eggs was excellent, and the serving was very generous. I was sad to leave some on the plate. If you need a great breakfast in Manhattan, I highly recommend The Chef.

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!

Took my mom and 3 year old to breakfast the only seating option was a high top which less than ideal with a toddler but fine. We ordered him a burger that came out bloody raw. We had to send to back for a new one that he refused to eat because it was “yucky” so I ate a bite of it and don’t blame him. It was super greasy and unseasoned. My mom and I both got BELT sandwiches yall my mom’s bread was BURNT meanwhile mine, barely toasted. Ontop of that the description said Texas toast, this was regular bread which not the end of the world but ontop of everything else. The potatoes seemed definitely old and very soggy Ontop of all this, almost no apology for the burger situation, we weren’t angry, it happens we just asked to have it made again so it could be safe for him. Barely an apology to be
