French toast there is fantastic. Sausages are nice quality. Mussels also very good. Fabulous beer selection. Service leaves something to be desired when it's busy, but not too bad.

The Brioche French Toast and Boudin Basque are both excellent.

excellent food and value. the blueberry pancakes are as my wife contends are the best of their kind. ever. it's kind of hard to argue with because they're perfectly tender in the center yet have a nice crisp edge. the chicken matzo ball soup has the most intense chick soup i've ever tasted (it's a double/concentrated stock). the charcuterie plate was also quite impressive and a good amount of food. all of these were reasonably priced ($10-15 or so) and you could easily get by $20/person before drinks. while i liked their sausages/bugers, none of them were actually as good as (merguez, piggy) i hoped but others items still look appetizing.

that said, the drinks are where they clearly aim to make their profits and are priced accordingly.

all in all, for brunch, it's slightly superior to cookshop. cookshop has more variety but dbgb's best dishes are best of class.

note: for young parents, the wait staff are quite accommodating to crying babies in the front room.

Better pancakes than Clinton Street Baking Company, Five Points, Prune, Stanton Social, Shopsin's, Sarabeth's? I'm not sure you can really state any restaurant's pancakes are best in class because you're comparing many different types: thick oven baked, thin dutch baby, creamy ricotta filled, fluffy regular buttermilk, etc.
