Restaurants near Demarest

“I just had the most amazing lunch here! The service was incredible and I left so stuffed and happy! That young man behind the counter (I think his name is Alex) is incredible and such a kind smart young man! Highly recommend!!”

“Awesome sandwiches and salads. Always friendly staff.”

“The vibes in this store are just different nowadays— 2 crew is always hustling but never rude, they get your order right 99% of the time, and everyone seems genuinely happy to be there. It’s the little things: they repeat your order with enthusiasm, throw in a “thank you” that doesn’t sound robotic, and the energy actually wakes you up as much as the caffeine”

“The best Albanian food in NY😋👌”

“The food is delicious. Very courteous and friendly staff. Definitely recommend!”

“My first experience was amazing the service was excellent and let's talk about the food, everything was fresh, it was soooo good it won't be my last time, I'm telling everyone about this hidden Gem”

“Good food, every things good.”

“It’s great place with very delicious pasta and artesanal pizza! 🍝🍕”

“Stay Away!!! Just kidding, this spot is popular and rightfully so for all the right reasons. The atmosphere is bot chill and warm for lounge lizards wanting a great watering hole. The drinks are fantastic, The Monk Fashioned being my favorite, reminds me of a magical Sazerac. The food here is delicious too, been a couple times and look forward to returning again soon. Love the Sweet And Salty Grilly with Gruyère, Prosciutto, Fig Spread, Arugula on Sour Dough. The Fonduey Mac & Cheese is also a cooze fest of cheesy goodness, also the Whipped Feta with the Everything Bagel Pretzel. Always love to get the Crab Cakes. Though I’m eyeing the Skewered Thighs for next time they look like a divine dine. Fortunately we’ve gotten in without a reservation, though I’m sure it’s good to have one.”

“If you’re ever in the Bronx and you don’t stop at Gino’s Pastry Shop, you’re missing out on a piece of real New York history. This Arthur Avenue staple has been serving up authentic Italian pastries for decades, and it’s exactly what you want from an old-school bakery — no frills, just flavor and tradition. The cannoli? Legendary. They fill them fresh to order, and the shells are crisp, flaky perfection with creamy ricotta that tastes like it was whipped up by someone’s Nonna in the back. The sfogliatelle and lobster tails are equally iconic — sweet, buttery, and loaded with filling. Don’t sleep on the rainbow cookies either — they’re dense, almondy, and always spot-on. The shop itself is cozy, with that classic Italian-American charm. Gino and the crew treat you like family, whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth. Prices are super fair for the quality, and it’s cash-only — so come prepared. Bottom line: Gino’s isn’t just a pastry shop, it’s a Bronx institution. Worth the trip, worth the calories, and worth every bite.”

“i’m here to tell you the hype is true. The burritos are so freaking good. The sauce is immaculate. I always ask for extra sauce. My favorite is the sausage burrito and the bacon. I usually get both and eat half-and-half and split it with my partner. lol

It’s so good please support local!!!

I usually travel all the way to Brooklyn for a similar type of burrito (santos) and I’m so happy to have found this gem uptown nyc!! (no pic because burrito was inhaled)

**back again, this time for lunch and the tacos were so fresh and delicious!!!!”

“Local favorite. Can’t go wrong. It’s not cheap, but worth it. I’d pass on the scallion pancakes. They barely have scallion or scallion flavor. But my main gripe is please hire competent behind the POS. Why am I asking 2 and 3 times if an order was received? Why are you answering “hello?” Instead of Handpulled Noodle? And why are you saying the restaurant is on 148th? Lol it’s in on Broadway between 148th and 149th. Just a very bizarre experience on a Friday night.”

“I never eat chicken breast because they are too dry, but I can say this is the best fried chicken I’ve eaten from a restaurant. Juicy not greasy I wasn’t tired after I ate the meal absolutely delicious!”

“After a long awaited trip to the store, it did NOT disappoint! I ordered The Casa, fresh mozzarella and burrata. Life may never be the same and I’ll be making more trips to the Bronx for the best cheese I’ve ever had!”

“Was visiting my godchild and she wanted to eat here. The staff was amazing as was the ramen. Cozy and cool. We went for lunch on a Saturday and we were seated right away. I would definitely go back”

“El mejor taco caribeño, primera vez que lo trato y fue súper bueno. La comida súper buena y el personal súper activo y muy amable . Ustedes todos son súper”

“Great spot to enjoy several beers with friends.”

“It was a surprise to find this little restaurant in Harlem. There were no tables, and we took the last two seats at the bar. While we waited, I surprisingly felt at home. The aroma of the food, the care with which Karina prepared each of the dishes, and the kindness and joy they served us. By the time our table was ready, we didn't want to take it anymore; we ate much more than we planned to order because we didn't want to miss out on their delicious food. I have dietary restrictions, and I was surprised to see that everything from the exquisite tortillas to the delicious tres leches dessert was prepared right there, gluten-free and preservative-free. I hope to return soon.”

“Great patties and good flavor. Veggie patty is a bit overly spicy and the patties could be more reasonably priced. The bakery is still worth the visit for authentic Jamaican bakery 🙌🏾”

“I’m certain that most people who drive by this corner / intersection have a hard time understanding why it’s around noon and there’s a line of about 50 people waiting for a food truck to open for business, me included. But take my word for it as soon you take the first bite and your taste buds take a swim in all those authentic Puerto Rican flavors / seasonings you will fully understand and long line. This is food porn at it’s best, both in flavor and presentation. If you’ve been searching for that old school grandma’s kitchen recipe experience you’ve come to the right place. Unfortunately unless you were raised in puerto rico or as a kid spent a lot of time at grandma’s house, a plate of arroz con gandules, pernil, camarones, ensalada de pulpo, accompanied by a healthy serving of perfectly cooked pork shoulder, not to mention the crunchy skin and the burnt ends accompanied by some home made garlic sauce you get as a bonus may not make sense to you, but is a mixture of deliciousness that you will not forget.”

“great people and music. if you want a quiet place , stay home 🏡”

“We held our 63rd reunion here and it was perfect. Food and service perfect. Those who live in the area will be back. Grazie Frank!!!”

“Thank you for making our anniversary celebration special! The food, service, and attention to detail made the dinner memorable and delicious. We can’t wait to come back!”

“Look on Yelp for an extensive review.”

“Quality establishment with style …. Recommended A++”

“One of my favorite dishes is the chilli. However they neglect to fish out all the dried bay leaves. The failure to fish out the bay leaves is a choking hazard. This is the third time I've brought this to the attention of GrubHub and Dyckman Dogs.”

“the food is phenomenal and the decor transports you out of the Bronx”

“good vibes good music good food”

“Great service and incredibly tasty food !!!!! If you haven’t been you’re missing out!!!!💯 Food and service was outstanding, thank you for an enjoyable afternoon 😊”

“It’s a restaurant that’s reminds me of my childhood and my early Twenties that was my go to Italian restaurant. I loved everything about this place and enjoyed the great food. I took my wife to celebrate our birthday together and talked about how amazing it was growing up in this neighborhood.”
