Father Knows Best
No Father’s Day is complete without a dad joke or two or three. This Bushwick spot serves cheddar scallion biscuits, mushroom hash, dank pancakes (yes that’s actually what they call them) that has choc chip and banana in them, their Reuben daddy melt, a breakfast burrito, and an item they call the “lumberdad breakfast” that comes with eggs, pancaked, toast or chorizo.

They offer biscuits with different spreads, avocado toast, pretzels, eggs benedict, scrambled eggs, a fried chicken sandwich, as well as different bowls like a veggie one or a cauliflower rice one.
