Special shoutout to our server, Jorge, who went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. He was kind, attentive, and had such a calm, professional presence. He checked in at the perfect times and made us feel genuinely welcome and valued.

The sliders were absolutely amazing — perfectly seasoned, juicy, and so satisfying. Will definitely be coming back!“

“I had my birthday here such a great place to have any celebration, the food was amazing the wait time for the food was not too long, and The staff was friendly and willing to help making it special and enjoyable. The price was too high though that was the only thing that was the issue. But I recommend this place“

“Family Corner is an amazing cozy family restaurant that my friends & fam have been going to for decades! It’s like “Cheers” where everyone knows each other’s name! The food is made fresh homemade with ♥️Love everyday! Their food is so tasty and the portions are generous. The staff & owner makes you feel part of their family. It’s intimate diner throw back to another time atmosphere is refreshing! The traditional Greek food is out of this world and very reasonably priced. And it has a thriving takeout/ delivery business. Neighborhood eateries like The Family Corner - is what makes our Astoria community great!!!“

“Great atmosphere and service!!“

“I stopped by just to grab some food while I waited for my meeting to start. I ordered the chicken souvlaki from the appetizer section. I was surprised by how big the platter was, it was more like an entree! It came with pita as well. It was absolutely delicious, the chicken was soft and tender and full of flavor. The pita was toasted and crispy with seasoning as well. I also ordered an espresso martini (my fave) with reposado, they make it with real espresso!!! A lot of places just use cold brew, so I was delighted that they had actual espresso. Laura the bartender (I sat at the bar) was so welcoming and friendly. The place itself is nicely decorated and has a good ambiance. I recommend this place and will definitely be back!“

“Michael's is part of a dying breed in the city. A 24-hour diner with a full menu. Everything I ever had here was good, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Most of the time being in Michael's is a time warp, the same at 2 PM and 2 AM.

Weekend brunch comes with 2 drinks so if you ever wanted 2 screwdrivers at 11:30 AM on a Saturday along with a huge omlette, they got you.“

“Staff are the best people from the kitchen to the front bar, not to mention never had a bad food experience there ❣️“

“Very attentive service. Food was great. Def recommmend.“

“Favorite chicken spot in Queens. Don’t be fooled though, their burgers easily compete with the best of ‘em. Make sure to try the burgers and tenders on your next stop. Great customer service and amazing food every time. You WON’T be disappointed.“

“This place is not only clean and inviting but their chicken is excellent and most of all Mohamed behind the register went above and beyond and still served me extra although I didn’t have enough. I ABSOLUTELY ? GUARANTEE YOU WILL ALSO ENJOY THIS DELICIOUS FOOD made from good people with great prices and all around the BEST Fried CHICKEN in Astoria Queens“

“Pretty decent spot with very delicious BBQ chicken and ribs. Place is a tad bit on the small side but there weren't a lot of people inside so it was easy for me to sit in and eat. The lady behind the counter while not really friendly was polite and served me in adequate and proper time. I ordered the 1/4 Chicken and Ribs along with rice and beans, pita bread and a dessert of chocolate pudding on the side. The entree really hit the spot, the ribs were so tender and juicy and so was the chicken. I enjoyed that meal but it filled me up a bit too proper, I didn't have much room for dessert so I took it home with me. My order overall was $25 and I say it was pretty decent. I enjoyed my meal here.“
