“Lovely people, lovely place, incredibly delicious food! Ingredients are very fresh, often from the local farmers market. There are both very creative dishes and classics on the menu. The Queensboro is a special restaurant that not only cares about the quality of their food and atmosphere, but also sincerely cares about the community.Kid-friendliness: Roomy and fun space that is very comfortable for those bringing children. The staff is super friendly with children as well!“

“New favorite spot in Astoria! We got almost all the apps and some mains and everything was delicious. Service was super friendly and attentive. Music was A+. Drinks were creative and delicious. Such a good place to host a party or stop in for dinner after work. Thank you!!“

“Definite GEM in Astoria. Mature crowd, great cocktail lineup and craft beers along with really good bar bites. Before mentioned is the perfect recipe for a great local establishment. Parking around the area is a bit difficult but nonetheless definitely worth a trip, or two, or three.“

“It was a cold Saturday and I was yearning for a carb filled meal topped off with drinks. This was my second time coming to Queens Bully, the first time was literally 5 years ago and I don't recall my experience here much. I drove on over from Brooklyn and sat at the bar. Inside is a very rustic setting with a open space concept. The bartender was extremely professional, attentive and very nice. He overall knew what he was doing when I asked for a cosmopolitan and it was by far one of the best I've had in quite some time. I then ordered a painkiller which he recommended and boy was it good. I had to drive so it was a 2 drink minimum for me but I surely felt tipsy. I ordered the shrimp Mac it was so cheesy, creamy and packed with flavor. The shrimps were grilled just right and had a jerk taste to it, it did not let me down one bit. The atmosphere within Queens Bully is pretty uplifting with modern music, the staff is very friendly, the food is delicious and so are the drinks. I'll be back for sure“

“Loved visiting this place with a friend for brunch! The food was great for the price and it has such a cozy vibe. The drinks are a good price as well during brunch and I would love to come back again alone or with friends. It’s small and the seating is a bit tight but it’s a good place to hang out. Definitely give it a try if you are in the area! The brunch burger was delicious and cooked how I like it but the main star for me were the truffle fries.“

“Amazing! Came here for brunch with a party of 7 and it was an amazing experience. The waiter in the beginning was extremely attentive to our needs but as the restaurant got packed, service suffered a bit. The food and drinks were decent for what it was. Being that we went for bottomless brunch, it would have been nice to get pitchers of our drinks that most folks were drinking vs. having to order continuously. Ambience was very nice! Gives bar vibes in the inside with a nice outdoor area!“

“Side Hustle is a good spot to visit if you want to sit and chat. The food menu is pretty small so don't expect a lot of variety. Drink menu though, a lot to choose from. The old fashioned I ordered was included in the happy hour with the "house" bourbon. Most places give you watered down drinks that are included in happy hour but this one did not disappoint. The Mac n cheese was not the best as it was extra salty. Overall I would go back for drinks.“

“From the outside looking in, it appears as a "if you're not known don't come in" type of establishment. It's not! Don't let that fool you. The interior setup is rustic for lack of a better word. Definitely gives the place its vibe. Noise level is that of a constant chatter with some music in the background. I believe Gill hosted us and he was very helpful. We had two spicy margaritas and I enjoyed mine. My daughter's wasn't as hot as she had liked it or thought it would and Gill had no problem adjusting it for her. We ordered the guac and I'm not a fan of it. However, this one tasted good. I had the plantains and meat and mushroom ensemble. It's an appetizer and it was great. Blended well with each other. My daughter had the steak tacos and she loved it. Overall the price is what you make it. I enjoyed myself, my daughter got a new place to call home and I'll be back to visit Alcove.“

“I was in town for a conference and wanted to find a cool, local place to grab a bite and a beer (or two). I prefer to stay away from chain restaurants and bars and this place looked fine. I walked in on an early Weds evening. There were a few people sitting at the bar, so I took a spot near the end. The bartenders were attentive and the bar selection was pretty extensive. I opted for a local brew and was not disappointed. I also need some food, but nothing too heavy, so I ordered the quinoa salad. The menu here looks pretty creative and is a few levels up from standard "bar food." The salad was really tasty and the ambiance was perfect. If I lived in Astoria, this would be my regular stop. All around, this was the perfect spot to sit and relax, have a meal and a drink and not worry too much about whatever was next.“

“It was my first time visiting bee cafe. I order the chicken wings and salad with chicken. I was shocked by the environment and the atmosphere here! The magical bee garden. The staff was very friendly and the service was very enthusiastic. After tasting it, I felt that their food was very good. Very worth to try.Kid-friendliness: They have a big place to sit, chat and play. And their menu seems to be something that children will like too.“

“If you're craving for Korean fried chicken, this is your spot! Mad For Chicken is a popular Korean snack food chain. We dined here on Friday late afternoon, and it wasn't busy at all. They have lunch special for $14.95 that came with a drink.I got the Crispy Chicken Bowl with signature crispy chicken, Korean glass noodles, steamed vegetables, romaine, corn, pico, gucamole, hickory bbq sauce, crema and choice of white rice or quinoa. It was like Korean style Chipotle/Bibimbap bowl served in a claypot! It is delicious and has everything that you can possibly want in one bowl and every bite.Of course, we had to get the Korean fried chicken and Kimchi Fries to share. The chicken was crisp on the outside but so juicy on the inside. The spicy mayo on the kimchi fries elevated the dish with a kick. It's spicy, salty, crispy, and addicting!The place has a nice casual vibe with a full bar. This is a great spot to grab a quick bite to eat with a bunch of friends.For the first time, Yelp check-in, you get a free soju shot. I got the lychee soju - so good!“

“Can't say enough great things about Arcadia! The staff is amazing, the drinks are perfect, and the food is phenomenal! We came in on a Thursday evening and participated in the trivia night competition, which was a great time as well! I had spinach artichoke dip as an appetizer, which was delicious with great flavor and chunks of artichoke, and it came with both fried and unfried pita chips - a nice variety. I was recommended the chicken parm sandwich as well, and the recommendation could not have been more spot on. Hands down the best chicken parm sandwich I've ever eaten - flavor was on point, the garlic bread added such a great layer of tastiness, and the fries were cooked to perfection. An incredible spot in Astoria that everyone should check out!“

“Snowdonia is so cool! It's become my local for great food and friendly staff. Others who are there are quite welcoming and I enjoy the atmosphere overall. They recently posted a $10 food and beer weekday happy hour menu which I'm excited about. Check it out you won't be “

“By far my favorite place in Sunnyside to eat. The atmosphere is great. The food is great. The drinks are perfect. The real reason we keep going back though…Gabby and Linda. Two of the best servers we have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. But it doesn’t even stop with them. We’ve had such amazing and pleasant experiences with all of the staff at Ida’s. The back patio is just THE place to enjoy their brunch.If you come through Sunnyside and don’t stop at Ida’s, you’re truly missing out. Especially their brunch.Vegetarian options: Buffalo Cauliflower, Grilled Broccolini and Crispy Brussel Sprouts are perfect. They also offer a Beyond Burger.Parking: Parking is what you’d expect in Queens, but you’re across the street from the paid lot under the viaduct as an option.“

“Really love the atmosphere of this bar. The music is never too loud and has a chill vibe. Enjoy the decent priced cocktails ($12-$15), there’s a really good whiskey sour and Paloma. Staff is always nice and attentive. Had the food once, not bad but nothing fancy.Favorite is karaoke night on Wednesdays. They grab songs online so you hear all types English or Spanish and the queue for your song isn’t usually too long. LGBTQ+ friendly.“

“10/10 I had an absolutely amazing experience at Dive Bar! The food and drinks were top-notch, but what truly made my visit unforgettable was the exceptional service from Aly. She was incredibly friendly, nice, and personable, elevating the entire dining experience. I would definitely return, and if Aly were my server every time, it would be the cherry on top!“

“I have no idea why this isn't one of the more popular places on Bell Blvd. They have amazing cocktails, unique concoctions that provide quite the kick. Get a nice little buzz going and then order the BEST fried calamari I have had. The other food I have tried has also been really good.... all the salads are great. Just a heads up... the food is a little spicy so if that's not your thing, you might be turned off.The decor is awesome. Really unique design that is intimate and also has a retro lounge feel sprinkled with some modern elements. Real comfortable place to have a drink or bring a date.Give this place a try.“

“Very chill spot. Huge spot. Wings are always perfect. Great selection of sauces. I tried the spicy ramen for first time after visiting multiple times. It was so good but be warned it’s really spicy. My child loves the kids bowl. Chicken, noodles and rice. Always a great experience.“
