Best of Brunch: Country Pancake Wrap With Bacon at Jersey City’s Brownstone Diner & Pancake Factory

Date May 2, 2009

If you’re someone who loves breakfast any time of the day, you now have a new mission: Take the 30 minute PATH Train ride to Jersey City’s Brownstone Diner & Pancake Factory for their Country Pancake Wrap ($8.25), scrambled eggs, potatoes, American cheese, and bacon or sausage, rolled into an oversized pancake which you can cover in butter and syrup (and dip in ketchup, like the NYC Food Guy).  I was hoping for breakfast glory, but the deliciousness of salty-sweet American cheese infused pancake was overcome by the mediocrity of the bland potatoes and par-cooked bacon.

A friend later told me that ordering one of their 31 varieties of pancakes would have been a better option. Or you can try the gigantic, fried onion & pepper-covered cheesesteak ($7.95), dripping with melted American cheese. Check out Brownstone’s website for a look at their 15-page menu and learn why it’s a heavyweight in the world of diners…

The PATH train has 4 stops in Manhattan that will let you off at Jersey City’s Grove Street Stop, pictured in the map below, just a 10-minute walk from Brownstone Diner.
