    Dudley’s was a nice surprise! The food is excellent at a very good price point and the ambiance is casual and lively. The menu offers a lot of variety and the food came out quickly. The only complaint is that after our server took our order, he completely disappeared. We had to waive him down to pay and he didn’t seem bothered by our discontent. Minus that particular server, everything else was great. Would definitely recommend!

    Wow. The food was PHENOMENAL. The truffle fries were super crispy and some of the best I’ve ever had honestly. The salmon eggs Benedict was super delicious and so was the breakfast sandwich. I also had the passion fruit mimosa which was amazing as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND WE WILL BE BACK

    20 min on wait list (they notify via text) to get seated for brunch. They have nice staff, a wonderful atmosphere, and excellent tastes. I had their hot cake and added berries. It was outstanding. Others ordered Benedict and Fried chicken sandwiches, and they were also perfect. I see their passion to make the delicious food to the details including sides. Definitely recommend.

    Cute bar/restaurant with great vibes, good service as well. The crispy rice salad was great for cutting the fat from the other stuff we ordered, it was also definitely one of the most unique salads we’ve had. We got the fried chicken sandwich with croissant - we recommend not getting it with croissant and get the regular bun instead. The croissant makes the sandwich harder to eat and the butter kind of overpowers the chicken. The chicken was a bit too salty but very well fried. I would get that on the side for sure next time if possible. Cheese burger was also pretty good, comes with a decent amount of meat which was nice. Tiramisu was a bit dry and the chocolate mousse was good. Pretty cute spot for a quick date night :)

    My dog and I loved it here! Not only they welcomed my dog, they made sure I wasn’t uncomfortable having my dog in a restaurant. The ricotta pancake was topnotch! Fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness. Not a fan of berries so stuck with bananas. The avocado toast looked good from what I saw though. Service was very friendly, attentive, and smooth. It gets packed on Sundays, understandably so. But if you don’t mind the buzz, then it should be fine. Comfy seats even the bar stools. I’ll be back for sure!

    UNDERRATED PLACE!! It’s priced much more reasonably. The waiters are also super friendly~ food wise, the avocado toast was not very seasoned (which is fine! Healthier) and the eggs Benedict was great! will go back again. And would want to try out their happy hour the next time I go back

    Yummy, affordable brunch! We came with a big group and sat in their covered outdoor seating which is really well decorated but can get a bit hot. The service was fast, and the food was up to par for a standard LES brunch. Portion size is also pretty large, so come hungry!

    This place is a fantastic Australian restaurant! 🇦🇺 Dudleys serves an incredible selection of delicious 🤤 and elevated comfort food, 🍔 drinks 🥤, and breakfast 🍳 dishes 🍽️ (til 4pm 🕓)! Definitely try the Fried ♨️ Chicken 🍗 Sandwich 🥪 and Dudley Chicken 🐔 Roll 🥖 with molten butter 🧈 and a side of Fries. 🍟 The ambience 🎶 is great, the service is quick ⏲️, staff 👨‍🍳 is super friendly and welcoming, and the place is beautifully decorated. 🛋️ This spot gets packed 👥 so make sure to make a reservation 🛎️ online. 🖥️ I wish I came here sooner ⏰ and more often!

    So I I’ve been here multiple times and had many different things from menu. But this was my first time trying the fried chicken sandwich. Actually very impressive,chicken was seasoned and very flavorful. Also juicy,not dry whatsoever. Sauce was on point. Bread was perfect. High quality sandwich bottom line. I would recommend this for lunch.

    Great brunch spot- we walked in on a saturday with a group of 5 around noon and they were able to seat us outside with no wait! They were definitely pretty busy and we were pretty lucky that they could accommodate us. The staff was friendly and all the food and drinks were so delicious. My friends got some cocktails which they loved and I got a chai latte which was so yummy. The crispy rice salad (and we added salmon) was really good and the bronte burger was so juicy. We also got the Ricotta Hotcakes to share a sweet dish and it was made well and nothing too crazy but very classic and homey. It was a great place to catch up with friends with delicious food and drinks! Come Again? Yes !! Love a good reliable classic brunch spot and they do it well here!

    A random find in New York. Looked for a brunch/lunch place close to the Brooklyn Bridge and stumbled upon Dudley’s. Friendly staff, nice seating areas and food does not disappoint. We had the BLT, avocado toast, truffle fries and some cocktails. Definitely recommend!

    Delicious tasting dishes at Dudley's! There isn't a reservation system online so just turn up and you'll get seated pretty quickly anyways. The outdoor seating area is really cute and they have done a good job at making you feel comfortable. We had the egg sandwich and avocado toast with added egg & bacon. Both were brilliant! The staff were busy but attentive, and catered to all our needs. Expect to pay around $30/head with a drink each. Don't miss out going to Dudley's for brunch, lunch or dinner.

    They don’t take ressies for Sunday brunch but walked in at 10:30 and got seated right away. Shared avocado toast and pancakes. Everything is very fresh. Would come back again!

    I recently visited Dudley's for an early morning brunch. The food here is great, the pancake def worth trying!. Their coffee, in particular, was a standout However, there was a slight hiccup regarding seating. Despite noticing some free tables, we were not offered one and ended up sitting at the bar. While this didn't majorly detract from our experience, it was a bit of a letdown given the availability of more comfortable seating. In summary, Dudley's is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for great food and coffee, combined with a pleasant atmosphere and service.

    Had the Big Brekkie, truffle fries, matcha lemonade, and 2 eggs/added roasted tomatoes. Refreshers were a small portion but very good. Breakfast was delicious/ flavorful and well priced! Service was excellent as well!!

    What an amazing energetic place filled with love and hospitality. We walked in not knowing what to expect. Can be busy so expect to be on a waiting list which is very quick. I really enjoyed their pancakes dish topped with fresh fruit. What really surprised me was their Iced coffeeee. Amazing food, fast and responsive staff and gave us things on the house. Thank you for an amazing experience and will be back.

    The environment is cute, good food delicious coffees which is really hard to say in a brunch spot. They charged $1 for a splash of oat-milk for the drip coffee. Which really makes me mad. The “ Ricotta Cake’s” were extremely delicious. “Shrimp Linguine” was delicious, it was small portion anyways. They grilled the shrimp which makes it looks so delicious. Highly recommend the “ Smoked salmon Benedict” it was the best I have ever had in nyc. They have the same menu as Ruby’s. The service was fine, the server was really nice. Drinks we order served really late but overall success brunch experience.

    The cutest Australian brunch place in Chinatown with the same menu as Ruby’s! Note that it’s super busy on the weekends and walk—ins only. We ordered: 1. Ricotta Hotcakes ($15) A fluffy pancake-lover’s heaven! The ricotta makes the thick pancakes, so so creamy, smooth, and rich. The hot cakes are naturally a little sweet and even better with the fresh bananas and berries on top. Not to mention the hearty nutella, butter, and maple-syrup on the side! 2. Shrooms Benedict ($16) The sautéed mushrooms as incredibly aromatic! Such a unique twist to eggs benedict. The hollandaise sauce and creamy, runny egg yolk sent me to heaven with the crispy yet soft english muffins. 3. Shrimp Linguine ($20) Zesty (from lemon), refreshing pasta with the juiciest, most tender shrimp and light, cheesy crunches. All of these dishes are must-orders! Just a lovely brunch cafe to visit with friends for a good time:)

    Came here twice this week. The first time I tried their ricotta hotcakes which were highly rated in Google reviews; however, they didn't really stand out compared to other places I've had something similar. However, the crispy rice salad bowl was incredible. I usually avoid ordering salads at restaurants as I find them underwhelming and not filling, but the Japanese style spicy mayo dressing + the texture of the crispy rice in the salad was so delicious. I recommend adding chicken as well because they cook it skin-on to give it a crispiness but at the same time keep the meat moist. I have to dock 1 star due to the hotcakes not standing out + tables being very close together but I would come back for the crispy rice salad any day.

    Had a great brunch here on a warm, muggy day. We sat outside and the fans and shade were perfect and comfortable. I had the ricotta pancakes and a side of hash browns- really good. My friends had the BLT and the breakfast sandwich. We all shared the banana bread-which was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Coffee and juices seemed good too though I didn’t have any.

    Great brunch spot in a warm, contemporary space. It’s an Australian restaurant serving the usual hits. I had the Big Brekkie, my husband had the ricotta pancakes with a side of poached eggs. Service was friendly. All in all it was a very good experience.

    Took myself out one night and randomly ended here. I must say I really enjoyed my visit here. The staff was nice and friendly. The drinks were well prepared and so tasty. For my entrée I got the shrimp pasta which was absolutely bomb, it was basically a party in my mouth by how much flavor was in there.

    Went for brunch after the photo shoot. Another great find by my teammate. Outdoor seating area was great all parted, clean & spacious with heaters perfect for this cold weather. All the food we ordered were delicious. Loved the fries & fried chicken sandwich on croissant.

    Wow, what a great spot for breakfast! My friends and I were going to be in the area and stopped by Dudley’s for some breakfast and it did not disappoint. I had the Big Brekkie and a Flat White. My friend had the ricotta pancakes and couldn’t stop talking about them. Food was delish, outdoor seating quaint, and prices reasonable. Would absolutely go again!

    Very busy brunch spot. Reservations are highly recommended. Food is delicious and served fast. I love the pasta dishes. Portion is big enough for me. 1 dish is enough. I ordered 1 pasta and 1 granola bowls and it’s too much. Services are nice. Our server check in with us regularly and make sure we have everything. The four of us spent a bit over $100 which is pretty cost effective.

    Loved this restaurant!! Unfortunately, our seats were super tiny - but that’s probably typical for NYC. Food Ordered: Ricotta Hot Cakes, Egg Sandwich. Drinks Ordered: Cappuccino with almond milk, latte with whole milk. The coffees were great! My pancakes were DELICIOUS. The honeycomb butter was so tasty & unique. Loved the addition of bananas. The egg sandwich was super tasty but my boyfriend accidentally ordered it without the bacon. It should just come with bacon tbh!!! Overall, very cute restaurant - I would come back. Went on 1/22/2024

    Great breakfast and portion was great. Very nice sitting area outside and was very enjoyable on a breezy November morning. A bit pricey and the coffee was a bit cold but would definitely visit again.

  • 5/5 Noel D. 2 years ago on Google
    Dudley done riiight! Converted my usual avocado toast into the BLT with avocado 🥑🥓🍞 Exceptional bread and the Mayo must have been fresh. The coffee was above average and warmed/filled to perfection frequently. Thank you and see you again soon. Have to note…this would be an excellent location for UNION/TabbedOut service model ❤️

  • 5/5 Kyle B. 2 years ago on Google
    Phenomenal food, great service. Prices are about what you’d expect for a similar spot in Manhattan. Definitely would recommend it as a great place to grab a few drinks & brunch/early dinner

  • 5/5 Priscila K. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place, delicious brunch and awesome people working there! The cappuccinos and mimosas were well worth it =)

  • 4/5 Arielle B. 1 year ago on Google
    Visit 1: Spent some koala-ty time with @httpjoanna for this awesome brunch Not exactly sure what makes @dudleysnyc an Australian restaurant exactly, but the food we had sure was good! We tried the avocado toast, crispy rice salad, and veggie pesto orecchiette. All were beautiful, bright, and healthy. Visit 2: Not a dud Whether it’s brunch or late night cocktails, @dudleysnyc has got it! They’ve got all day breakfast/lunch items plus an amazing list of drinks. I had this puffed rice salad topped with an egg and chicken a while back while my friend had the Brontë burger - one of their most popular, basically famous dishes. Visit 3: I stopped by my downstairs neighbor, we stopped for drinks and I tried the Chanel Orange with jalapeño tequila, passionfruit, and ginger the Orchard. My fried got yhe Broome (that’s their address if ya didn’t know!) with mezcal, orange, rose, and agave. Both were great but tbh we enjoyed each other’s more

    Had a wonderful brunch time with the family. Food is awesome and our waitress, Austria, is really friendly. Love love love the shrimp linguine 🫶🏻 big brekkie with flat white … oh yes… bring me back to Straya 🥹

  • 5/5 Sonya 7 months ago on Google
    Came for Saturday brunch and they managed to have some bar seats available without a res. The food was delicious. The pancakes were sooo fluffy. Would definitely come again!

  • 4/5 T S. 2 years ago on Google
    Their banana bread is the perfect pairing with a latte on Saturday/Sunday brunch. The big breakfast is a substantial portion and very tasty. Interior is very cool but only one bathroom for a busy restaurant is no good.

  • 5/5 Fabienne L. 10 months ago on Google
    Food was amazing. Perfect little spot. Definitely recommend for a heart filled brunch or breakfast.

  • 3/5 fashakin b. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here with friends after all the good things they had to say about it . Truffle fries are a worthy mention , with their regular fries as well . Had the shrimp linguine , I was too hungry to not eat it . My friend had to add extra salt and pepper to hers . It was a bit underwhelming. My friends said this was unusual so I don’t mind giving it another try .

  • 4/5 Jack C. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food and nice service here! Nice place to hang out for bunch. My clothing smelled a bit after eating here because of bad ventilation. The food was not that creative, but good quality and well made.

  • 5/5 Ido S. 1 year ago on Google
    Another great Australian coffee shop for a weekend brunch. Everything we tried was good - from the avocado toast to the banana bread from the burger to the pancakes. Service was incredible and our waitress Kat recommendations were on point. Can’t wait to go back and try their eggs Benedict

  • 5/5 Jackson D. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Tyler P. 11 months ago on Google
    Only had to wait 20 mins for Sunday brunch, and got a great outdoor seat. The breakfast sandwich is excellent (and reasonably priced!) and the banana bread was some of the best I’ve had.

  • 5/5 Louie 1 year ago on Google
    I love Ruby’s and when I sat down I realized that they’re from the same restaurant group! How fun! Went on president’s day and had a 45 minute wait when we showed up around 11:40. It ended up being less time than that but still great for peak brunch hours! Banana bread: very good, super tender and loved that they pan toast it. Succulent with the butter Truffle fries: personally I like their regular fries better with the truffle aioli, but these were still fun Ricotta hotcakes: WOW! Really loved these. The hotcakes weren’t sweet and you could taste the ricotta. The Nutella and the syrup both were good with them! Chicken schnitzel: chicken was a bit dry, but flavorful. The corn purée was incredible, and the salad was delicious.

  • 5/5 Adati T. 2 years ago on Google
    The best Sundaes I have ever had! I didn’t order anything else in the restaurant so I cannot speak about the other items on the menu. The sundae is very rich a filling. It had the best texture and perfect taste. The ambience in the restaurant is great and the staff are very helpful and always checking in.
