Kellogg’s Diner
“I've been here a couple times, always after leaving Barcade down the street.”
“It's cozy, the service is wonderful, the food is delicious, and it's close to anywhere you want to go in Williamsburg/North Brooklyn (right next to the L and G trains!).”
“If you want a burger, grilled cheese, or pancakes – all are available at 4am…”

I think Jerry, George, Kramer, and Elaine would like it here. But I don't think they went to Brooklyn much, and also, they're fictional. So that's kind of a moot point.
Kellogg's meets one important criterium for Williamsburg establishment enjoyment: it's #notdouchey. There were generous mix of folk dining here when we came for a late breakfast, including families, and it's happily un-trendy. I imagine it's probably what restaurants of Brooklyn used to be more like: full of clearly local waiters/waitresses serving no-frills food. And our waiter was efficient but not particularly friendly. Which is fine, 'cause I just want breakfast, yo.
But my huevos rancheros were disappointing. I can make a better plate of scrambled eggs, and that's not saying a whole lot. The salsa was bland. The rice and beans were fine. I ate it all, mainly because I had a huge day of travel ahead with limited eating opportunities.
Prices are average for diner fare but definitely more than the food is worth. Expect to show ID for a credit card.
Bonus points; super close to L and G trains means a quick getaway to your next stop is super simple.
Excellent Williamsburg breakfast spot. So much variety on the menu. And you can sip wine with your steak and lobster, being informally formal!
Kellogg's is basically just your usual 24 hour diner. It's comfortable, clean, spacious, the staff is alright (some are great, some aren't too friendly), and the decor/ambiance are cool. However, the prices for normal food are a little too high to justify eating basic diner food here. There are too many better places in the area! Their hot chocolate and desserts are good, though.
I stopped in here last week because I needed to use the restroom, so my friend and I were seated at a booth and I ordered a hot chocolate. We told the waitress that that was all we were having, and she informed us that there is a $6 minimum per person to sit at a normal table. She then told us that we could sit at the counter. I then went to the restroom and it seemed as though each toilet had flooded and no one had cleaned it up. There were paper towels and toiler paper everywhere and it didn't smell too good. I don't recommend using the restroom here!
The good thing was that the hot chocolate was delicious, and it was a very reasonable price as well.
Wasn't particularly impressed with this Diner. I ordered poached eggs and bacon. The eggs came in a cup full of water? I had to get them onto the plate with a fork and basically one split into the water. Not very nice at all.
The Orange juice was nice and the staff ok. The only reason it didn't get one star to be honest!
A Willamsburg institution.. 24 hour diner serving up classic greasy spoon staples. Good veggie burger.. Good omelets. Was my go to lunch spot when I would do laundry down the block many a moon ago.. The neighborhood has changed drastically in the past 20 years.. At least Kellogg's is still there going strong.. It's so far survived the hipster, eurotrash, trustfund brat invasion.. Unfortunately they're the ones leaving all the crappy reviews. Ignore them. This diner is fine. 😉
I've always passed the Kellog's Diner and thought it looked really cool and retro from the outside. Made me curious enough to want to come and try some bites here. I had that opportunity on Tuesday after seeing a show @ The Knitting Factory. Enjoying my slight buzz, my brother and I stumbled in the diner. No, literally stumbled in because the sidewalk to the entrance is all jacked up!!
Upon entering, the overwhelming smell of a disinfectant infiltrated my nostrils. I thought to myself, hey, at least the place is clean?? It was fairly busy for after midnight. They sat us all the way in the back when they had plenty of tables up front. Thought that was strange. The seat of the booth they sat us in was all tore up and fixed with duct tape. Usually not a good sign for me. Our waitress was decent. Although I could barely understand anything she was saying with her accent and what appeared like a sleep deprived slur. We didn't have any meals. Just post show desserts.
I asked for slice of blueberry pie. Came back a while later to say there wasn't any left. They don't know this beforehand?? So I got the lemon meringue pie and a cappuccino. My brother got a Corona and a slice of strawberry cheesecake. Good lord, it took a while for our slice of pie and cake to come! The couple in back of us (I'll get to that later) who came in after us and ordered two MEALS got their food before our desserts!! We were right in front of the dessert display. What takes so long to slice a piece of pie/cake and bring it five feet? They attempted to make it all fancy by putting them on colored, square dishes and dolloping Reddi Whip on each corner and sprinkling each dollop with rainbow sprinkles. Thanks, but just the slice would have sufficed. I have to say that the pie was actually pretty good. Huge slice too. The cappuccino was really good as well. Although the waitress spilled a lot of in the saucer so it was pretty messy to drink. Looking at the food other patrons were eating, some looked appetizing. The crinkle fries are totally of the frozen kind. Maybe I'd come here again to try the food. Maybe not.
Location is great. In the middle of a busy Williamsburg/Greenpoint area. Right outside of the place is the Metropolitan/Lorimer stop on the G and L. You have your fair share of Hipsters dining here but mostly true locals. Something really odd? The people who I mentioned above that got their food before us and came after us? Well, one of those people was actress Rose McGowan. I wanted to ask her, what the f&*k are you doing @ the Kellog's Diner???!!!!
This f*cking place. We went here because we were in the neighborhood and the place we'd picked out wasn't serving breakfast. Even as a utility option, they could do SO much better. The coffee was bad, service was meh, cleanliness was horrible, and the food left much to be desired. I ordered a lox dish from the Benedict section thinking that no one in their right mind (especially not in Bklyn) would think to put Hollandaise and poached egg on lox. Le sigh, I stand corrected. It was an abomination that offended my taste buds to no end. Adam's food was bad too. Do yourself a favor and only go here for drunk food late at night–knowing that the food is likely to be sh*tty and staff inhospitable.
Pretty solid diner. There were tons of great diners growing up on Long Island, and there's not a lot in Brooklyn, so it's nice to see this. It's not great food, but you don't really come to a diner for great food. The breakfast specials are great with nice sized portions. Service was good and there is tons of seating. Really easy to get to from public transit, but parking in that area is rough.
