We are a first come first serve all day restaurant. Walk-ins of all party sizes are encouraged at any time!

Our journey started on a quiet West Village street called Carmine. Two brothers, Dave and Pete, made a bold decision. Without any business experience, any real plan, or anything resembling a thought beyond getting through the day, we opened a restaurant. What we had lacked in experience we made up for with spirit and creativity. We did not want to be businessmen. We were artists. Our little shop at 33 Carmine St. was our original canvas. We set out with a simple mission: to create a place where people would want to be. We named it after our dogs, Moose and Goose Lane. Our Chelsea location opened three years later in 2010.

    Jesse/Jessie was our waiter and he was fantastic. We had our bookclub brunch here (group of 7) and he was friendly, accommodating and attentive, as was the establishment. We felt tended to without feeling rushed. One of the ladies in our group has Celiac and he went through the menu with us to make sure she had an option that did not contain cross contamination. 20 out of 10. Will go back!

Our top priority at Grey Dog is making sure our guests feel right at home when they enter our doors & I am so happy to hear Jesse provided you with that! We hope your bookclub will continue to brunch with us! Come see us again soon, cheers!

    Loved our brunch. The only drawback is the noise level. Our meals were delicious and the server was so very pleasant.

    They have a new gluten-free bread that I do not like, which is such a bummer as I won’t come very often now. The old gluten-free bread was great so very unfortunate. Also they discontinued the tacos for dinner and I loved their tofu tacos. And for a long time now they don’t have the delicious gluten-free desserts they used to have. Service was tremendous until they dropped off the food and then we were never checked on after that.

    We ordered the roasted beets, the spinach artichoke dip with the yummy toast corners. The wine selection was great and our main dishes of chilaquiles and Mexican bowl were delicious. I cannot wait to return to try more of the brunch dishes.

    The only drawback is that there is no room to wait inside for your table. The menu is very good- lots of options plus there’s a kids menu. We had a 4 and 5 year old with us. It was busy but service was very good so good was served quickly. Definitely will recommend it!

    The Grey Dog is one of our go to places. The food is consistently delicious and the service exemplary. The menu has quite a few vegetarian options. Highly recommend it. All locations are consistently good.

    Order was wrong, some of the food was too salty, and it was so loud you had to lean it to hear the conversation at the table.
