FERNS

Chicken was succulent. Nice crunch factor to the chicken. Sauce that came with it was fantastic. They gave condiments but the chicken was so juicy that it was not necessary. The biscuit was not dry, nice and flaky. 9/10 for the sandwich.

The Egg & cheese biscuit was to die for. Perfect brunch choice.

Service was fantastic, the whole ambiance of the place feels like your in your cool grandmothers home. Highly recommend this place for brunch with friends

Came here with the family. Ordered the Verde white wine from Portugal. I did not like it. Switched to the mezcal diablo which was much better. We ordered the Buffalo cauliflower, French fry basket, and steak tartare.

Cauliflower was great, French fries were average, steak tartare was below average. Good flavor but so much going on, you totally lost the beef profile and wouldn't know you were eating tartare. Same with the shrimp burger and chk sandwich.

Much better without the overpowering cabbage on shrimp burger. It was just too much of it, you couldn't taste the shrimp patty. After taking most of it off, it was so much better. The chk sandwich is good but so much other stuff going on you couldn't taste the chicken. Also the bun got really soggy and couldn't hold up to the burger.

Service was good and ambiance was great. Very cozy and romantic for a great date night. Everyone was nice and accommodating. I would recommend but would try some other things.

The inside of this place is stunning. It gives backyard garden vibes.

I came here with three friends and we were so hungry. We ate before taking pictures of the food.

I shared the bean quesadilla with a friend and it was good. The spinach artichoke dip isn't exactly what we expected. I probably wouldn't recommend the place for the food, but would definitely return for drinks with friends.

What a gem this place is!! I usually scoff at leaving my hood and going all the way to LES for brunch, but I'm glad I relented this time around. Fern's has an awesome brunch, and I can't wait to go back.

The star is the show at Fern's is definitely the fried chicken and biscuits. I ordered one of their biscuit sandwiches--the one with fried chicken and eggs... and wow! How mouthwatering it was!!!

Tony ordered a breakfast bowl because he was having a "healthy day." He said it was yummy, and I had food envy looking at it.

Another standout were the tots -- I don't know how they prepared them, but they were super yummy.

Most of us also ordered breakfast cocktails, and they were good, too. I recommend the Bloody Mary!

As for service, it was first rate!!! Oh, and the atmosphere is good for outdoor dining!! We didn't sit inside, but I did notice it was spacious!!

Try this place out for brunch. You are sure to enjoy!!

FERNS is a little gem that charmed its way into my curmudgeonly heart. Usually, an unassuming American spot in the East Village, would have me avoiding the crowds that feel over a decade younger than me. But sometimes you just crave a straight forward egg dish for brunch, and FERNS is as good a place as any.

I actually first visited FERNS on a tipsy night out, drawn by their beautiful hanging plants. Once inside, I was charmed by their cozy interior--twinkling lights, mismatched framed photos, verdant greenery. It had a picturesque interior without trying too hard. Our group easily squeezed into a space by the front for a few round of drinks and even enjoyed the playlist.

So one weekend when my friends wanted to have straight forward American fare for brunch, I chose FERNS. Their menu featured french toast, biscuits, burgers, and even a mezze platter. I played it a little too safe with an egg bowl, which came with tots and kale and I paired it with a fruit bowl because I was feeling healthy, but looking back I wish I had tried the shrimp burger or something with more flavor. My companion got the chicken biscuit which I stole a bite of and it still haunts me to this day that I didn't order it.

But you know what? The ambience was beautiful, the service was snappy and easy for us walk-ins, and they really just lived up to their claim of being just a good neighborhood bar. They're not reinventing brunch, but all they claim to be is a cozy spot to get drinks and satisfy your biscuit cravings without all the fuss. FERNS, I'm glad you exist.

Made a reservation morning of and they had a few openings outside which was great! The fried chicken was good, not much flavor to it and the biscuit was sweet. Something was missing to make it better but overall it was good. A lot of chicken for such a small biscuit. The stuffed French toast was great though. It wasn't overly sweet and the bread was dense so it was filling as well. I had a spiked coffee and it wasn't anything special. I would advise against it and instead go with the espresso martini which my partner had and enjoyed.

This is such a cute brunch spot! A bit pricey, but not the worst. This place is pretty spacious with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the decor is so lovely; it feels like having lunch in a nice garden. We started with brunch drinks, the Pineaperol Spritz (great way to mix up your classic Aperol Spritz) and a Bloody Mary, both $15. We had the Mezze platter ($15), which was actually fairly loaded with dip and would be enough for 3-4 people to share. The quiche that day ($14) was salmon and goat cheese, which was loaded with salmon- as a salmon lover, I thought it was great! The fried chicken biscuit ($20, +$2 to add an egg) was a great choice as well. The chicken breading was crispy and the hot honey hit the spot. Service was friendly and attentive.

I came here for brunch on a Saturday afternoon and it was already fairly packed. Although it was a bit cold, we sat outside since there were heat lamps.

I ordered the cheeseburger as well as a side of biscuit. The biscuit were pretty good with the jam and butter. The burger in my opinion was decent but I wouldn't order again. The meat wasn't as flavorful as I'd like a burger to be but someone else may enjoy it.

In terms of service, the waitress was really nice and accommodating and the atmosphere is good for small groups since the seating area isn't that large. Overall a nice option to do brunch in the city

We came here for brunch with the girls. The interior decoration is super cute. We shared the Mezze Platter and Basket of Fries. Both were very yummy! For my main, I got the Avocado Toast with a Fried Egg. This was super unique with labneh and tahini/was very filling, though the bread was a little bit hard on the crust. Overall, the taste was still great and we had a good experience here :)

We went to FERNS a couple of months ago as we ended up stumbling across it trying to find a breakfast/brunch spot.

We were pleasantly surprised to find the spot and the ambiance was incredible.

The service was attentive and respectful! The food was extremely good, with the fried chicken biscuit stealing the show!
