Plow breakfast was pretty good, but I probably won't be back unless it's a weekday or right at opening due to the long wait -- the place felt unpleasantly oversubscribed

Went on a Sunday for brunch with 4 other people. The wait time was lonnnggg (>1hr). But the food was worth it. It had the plow and a biscuit. food was absolutely worthy the wait

Great food, worth waiting in line.

It's been over a year since I returned to dine here and the overall experience has gone down.

The service alone soured my visit so that I won't come back here again. We arrived at 8:30 am on a weekday and were seated right away, but they were rushing us out of the door by 9:30 am. The waitress even took my plate away without asking if I was done! If they'd asked us to leave because of a line, of course we would have left. But there wasn't a line and they didn't ask us to leave, so I don't understand why they were passive aggressively shooing us out before I could finish my meal.

There's quite literally 2 inches of space between the 2-person tables so it felt like my friend and I were right on top of the table next to us. This was uncomfortable and I could tell the people next to us felt the same way.

The prices have increased and the portions are smaller. I was mildly annoyed when they charged me $1 for a small side of oat milk to go with my $5 drip coffee. The potatoes aren't as crispy as I remember. The food was serviceable but not good enough to justify the other issues I mentioned.

Plow is overhyped and definitely not worth waiting in that long line on the weekend.

Unpleasant dining experience. One server was quite unwelcoming and gave us three minute-long lectures about asking everything through a waiter because we went to grab a cup of water ourselves (after no one came to help us for 20 minutes). It’s so unfortunate given how great the food (and the rest of the staff) was.

food is good but the hostess is so rude and condescending and it puts me off from the place

No one wears gloves when they prepare the food, there was one guy who had a busted nail with black stuff ( dried blood ) on his thumb.

The food was grand If you go bring something so your not eating someone's spit or busted nails.

Favorite thing to eat there is the huge biscuits w/ honey butter, an there pancakes have lemon meringue in them.

Would eat there again if they trying staff and get them gloves so there bodily fluids are not mixed in with the food

The food is pretty good but not worth the wait. The reason they’re slow seems like slow turnover at the table- once we were seated we waited 20 minutes to order and another 20 minutes at the end to pay. In the end was probably 2 hours from when we arrived to when we left when it took us 30 minutes to eat.

Great spot for brunch.Top notch,fresh ingredients.The only reason I do not frequent this spot more is the wait time esp on weekends.Service is OK.

The last time I ate at Plow was 7 years ago, and their food still endures today! It's nice that they now offer outdoor seating to handle the volume due to operating in a very small space. I ordered the fried egg on brioche toast, which is a delight. Its clever how they add frisee salad mix that sits in between the fried egg and brioche toast. It has the right acidity to amalgamate the buttery brioche, fried egg, saltiness from the prosciutto, and the gruyere cheese. The chili flakes add the right amount of heat and doesn't overpower. The plow potatoes are absolutely bangers! Salt, naturally sweet potatoes, rosmary, smashed and baked! Yes, please! If you're looking for a hidden gem away from the busyness of downtown, yet have to wait in line and don't mind sitting extremely close to others. Yet want to impress your date, friend, or international buddy with a good breakfast, look no further.

Take whatever wait time the staff tells you and double it. They will always say your table is 15-20 minutes out but they have no concept of how long it actually takes for tables to clear. The food is not worth the wait, but it looks better than it actually tastes.

We were a group of six. We were told the wait would be one hour. After waiting for two hours, we asked how much longer would the wait be and we were told, “I don’t know you’re just gonna have to hang tight okay?”

I’m sure the food is good but with wait times this long I don’t think I’ll ever get to find out.

Waited 2.5 hours for us to be seated, originally they said 1 hour. We ended up giving up and leaving. Probably won’t return, they do not have a seating time limit so they didn’t even try to get people in.

It's cool. The wait is not worth it but it's good food. The food won't make you jump out of your seat (the biscuit might actually). The service is meh, friendly but understaffed obviously. They really need a text service that let's you know when your table is ready. I got the crab scramble and there was like 2 pieces of crab in it (scam).

We liked Plow’s pleasant atmosphere. The service was simple and fast. Unfortunately the server said that the order was for hubby’s order didn’t go through but they quickly made his food. I had the plow with the pork sausage and sunny side up eggs. I wasn’t expecting a sweet sausage and was a bit surprised by it. The best thing was the potatoes and the cake. coffee was great.. love equator ..

There seemed to be a lot of happy folks sitting next to us.. enjoying their food but I’d hoped for a saltier pork sausage.

Best lemon ricotta pancakes, the potatoes were superb, the French toast was delicious! I asked for very, very easy over easy eggs and they came exactly as ordered! We were so happy we’re going back tomorrow! Well worth the wait for a table!

This place is literally so good. You won't go wrong with anything from here. They're busy most days, but are able to seat within 30 minutes. Totally worth the wait.
