  • replying to u/outlawlooseandrunnin: It’s very possible I went on a bad day, but when I ordered this it was so bad nobody in my group of 4 wanted another bite. The jello was so rubbery that by the time you finished chewing it all of the other layers had separated and already gone down. It was very unpleasant

    The fluffy whipped cream, the jello, the silky cream cheese, and then the salty, crumbly pretzel crust made this a uniquely delicious bite that I’d never had before. Add in the strawberry flavor that was more supporting than starring and I can say this was easily one of the best things I’ve eaten in this city.

  • replying to u/bobushkaboi: That place is such a let down. I remember visiting Williamsburg for the first time getting off the L and being like oh fuck yeah a cool looking diner right off the subway. Nope.

    I had a very acceptable mac and cheese.

  • replying to u/DawsonMaestro414: I tried this last week because I had heard hype about it. It’s very mid. Not sure what the hype is. It tastes exactly how it looks.

    I think the taste is a little more a nod to nostalgic, jello mould icebox type dessert. Aka nothing fancy. If you like cool whip, this is for you.

  • replying to u/Aggravating-Ice5575: ha, back when there was endless L construction and Lorimer was the last stop there was a little deli section of Kellogg that was the only thing open late, maybe 2001,2. Ran into Jim Jarmusch buying Camels. Now $32 skate wing there.

    The chicken fried steak was $21 and the chicken biscuit was $18 and I thought it was fair enough compared to the quality and portion sizes I got.

  • replying to u/Dirtythrowawaybk: Serious question: how is it since the revamp? I’ve been thinking of checking it out but I’m unsure if it’s worth squandering a date night with my wife on.

    Based on this past experience I had I’d say you should check it out. I’ve been handing in Williamsburgs forever and I always pissed me off a diner with such a great location was so trash lol. I think they’re on to something now.

    It’s great since the revamp. I think there’s an element of it that feels like it grew up a little but it didn’t forget where it came from and the new menu is great

  • replying to u/evansdead: The old Kellogg Diner. By far and away the worst mozzarella sticks and grilled cheese I have ever eaten.

    ended up being a genuinely tasty meal and the service was really solid.

  • replying to u/mobileuserthing: What? Kellogg’s had some of the best mozzarella sticks I’ve ever had in my life. What did they serve that was inedible??

    Everything was cold and dry 🤣 I was like wow this place sucks!

    I thought it was really good but it’s kinda surprising how inconsistent this place is, across the menu and with individual dishes and service.

  • Their desserts in general are great, the food is good and reasonably priced (not cheap, but not as nose bleed as a lot of other options) and they're open 24/7, pretty cool.

  • I got the basic chilaquiles and it was super tasty. For the price I didn’t expect it to have eggs but it did, pleasant surprise. The drinks were also good!

  • replying to u/Possible-Source-2454: One time I went to Kellogs diner and the sour cream was spoiled and everything else of trash quality

    it was scrambled eggs with cold jarred salsa on it. first time I ever remember having to say we’re not eating that at a diner

  • replying to u/BartBeachGuy: Carbone? Given OPs criteria of most entrees under $40 and not foo foo, I doubt it fits. I’m curious to see what gets suggested as late night dining is so much more limited post covid. Nothing like Florent exists these days.

    One that is easy to get into, but open 24 hours and good, is Kellogg's diner in Williamsburg - and definitely include dessert in your agenda!

  • replying to u/Resident_Analysis370: Kellogg’s is closed right now unfortunately, but I’m pumped for the new Kellogg’s. If you can do one transfer and stop, I’d recommend the new Three Decker Diner on Manhattan Ave in Greenpoint.

    Kelloggs definitely has that classic vibe but the food is awful

  • replying to u/CactusBoyScout: I went there super stoned once and it was still awful. I eat peanut butter straight from the jar when I’m high so the bar is not high.

    Same about the peanut butter and experience at Kelloggs lol

  • replying to u/niiro117: The recently revamped Kellogg's Diner has a chicken fried steak and it's been getting great reviews. I haven't been myself yet.

    it was better than I expected. I also got a honey butter chicken biscuit to take home which was also very good.

  • I think it’s what everyone was hoping for: pretty good diner food at reasonable prices. Now the desserts—are mind-blowing. We kept saying we’d eat here again just for the pie alone!

  • replying to u/Smooth_Influence_488: Tell anyone who lives on 1st Ave to go somewhere on 9th Ave, at that point I may as well go to Kellogg's.

    now it’s just your typical over priced restaurant that doesn’t even know what a grilled cheese and fries are!!!!

    Worst chicken fried steak I’ve had was from here unfortunately. All fry, no steak. Was hardly edible which was very disappointing.

    Had the same experience as you. Thought it was so rubbery and inedible, but their other desserts are amazing.
