38 Best American Restaurants in Astoria

“This little gem is so New York, and I had the best time here last Saturday night. It’s a tiny space run by a lovely husband-and-wife team that makes the whole experience feel warm and personal. The set menu was outstanding, with so many great flavor combinations, many of them inspired by traditional Nepali dishes. They also offer a thoughtfully chosen wine pairing that complemented the food really well. Service was excellent throughout, and I especially enjoyed hearing the stories behind each dish and the inspiration that went into creating them. Overall, just an outstanding dinner and a place I can’t wait to return to.“

“The backyard of the restaurant is great for a summer night out with their open roof. They need to expand the food offerings.“

“Delicious and filling. About 20 min wait in a busy Saturday but worth it!“

“Decent atmosphere, good service. Got the burger and beer combo they’re running for World Cup… beer was excellent, but burger wasn’t great. Ordered it bun less, it arrived a bit cold but tasted ok (to their credit it was a perfectly cooked medium), tots were slightly undercooked.“

“Today June 24th I had lunch here with a friend. It was my first time. Passed this cafe but never tried it. Well the food was delicious, prices reasonable and the waitress Eloise was delightful! I had vegetable quesadella. My friend had an egg white vegetable omelet with hash browns. The portions are generous! Our waitress Eloise made the dining experience here pleasurable. Would definitely go back!“

“Cool place for Beer! The food is good! I had the cheese curds for appetizer and steak & eggs 🍳 All if it was very good! 👌🏽“

“Delicious Food Nice Ambiance Excellent Service“

“I didnt eat there but my band soft spot played a show there. The band Lo Lux put it on and they did a fantastic job hosting, running sound and being one of the best bands I've played with !
As for the bar itself the staff was fantastic ! barely a wait for a drink even with a packed bar ! If you have a severe peanut allergey this may not be the place for you as they serve peanuts like a bar would serve pretzels with the shells being thrown to the floor. All in all aside from the peanut situation I would definitely recommend going and if you're lucky enough to catch Lo Lux, well you will have struck gold.“

“Great burgers! Sweet potato fries! Great beer options!“

“I loved this place. I went there with my family and the lady there was super nice to us. We ordered a wide variety of pizza slices and they were all super delicious. They also have amazing Mexican food which I'd love to try next time! I can recommend it to anyone.“

“Great atmosphere and service!!“

“The restaurant has a area for sitting if you want to eat and another section if you want to drink at the bar. We had a nice lady who attended us and was quick with our orders. The food was pretty good. The mac and cheese was very cheesy. I thought it was cool they brought the burger with the toppings on the side so it didn’t get soggy and you can add it yourself after. The food is made fresh everyday so I recommend trying it out.“

“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!!!“

“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“

“Amazingly romantic vibe…..fantastic food and ambience. Service was 5 stars.“

“Great first impression and a very helpful safety tip! 🍔🚇

This was actually my very first time trying Applebee's, though it has been quite a long time since that visit. From what I can recall, I really liked the service and how I was treated. The restaurant is located in a very nice area, but my best advice if you don't know the zone well is to preferably visit during the day.

I'm no expert, but it can get pretty dark around there at night. For peace of mind, it’s much better to take an Uber directly or head straight to the nearest train station quickly after you leave. Still a great memory and a solid spot!“

“Great group good food and great drinks.“

“Went for the first time today . The owners came up to me and introduced themselves. I tried the stuffed pizza and Detroit slice it was really delicious“

“And cider & bier - about a dozen on draught, and more cabs and bottles on the in the cooler. Great Brie garden in back for gatherings.“

“Carlos was the best server ever!!“

“My new fav spot! I will be going again this week for my birthday 🎂“

“One of my all time favorite restaurants In Astoria. You can always find something delicious to eat.“

“I loved the atmosphere and the food was amazing (chicken and waffles were 🔥) but I wish I could give the service 6 stars because server Stephanie was amazing! She was just so attentive, kind, and helpful. Will definitely visit again!“

“Nice place! Enjoyed the mimosas.“

“friendly staff large portions of delicious food. Overall great experience. 5 ⭐“

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

“Nice place. A couple of TVs. Nice atmosphere. Good fish and chips and burger. Fries were unfortunately just run if the mill rather than freshly cut. Stret corn was very good, spicy but not overpowered. Very good selection of beer on tap.“

“10/10 Recommend Hutch Astoria!! The owner and staff (thanks to Jack!) are very inviting and friendly! We were visiting from the UK and we felt very welcomed and cared for! Known for their espresso Martini and they very much do not disappoint! If you’re a local or from out of town, we definitely would put Hutch back on the to do list!“

“Avenue has been one of my favorite neighborhood spots in Astoria for quite some time. It's one of those restaurants that's versatile enough for a casual brunch or coffee, while also being a great choice for a nicer dinner out with friends or family.

The food has always been consistently good. My favorites are the tabbouleh, the steak and eggs, and the turkey and Swiss sandwich. Everything tastes fresh, well-prepared, and thoughtfully put together. Their coffee is also excellent and one of the reasons I find myself coming back.

The restaurant itself has stayed fairly consistent over the years. While a few decorative touches have changed, it has maintained the same welcoming atmosphere that makes it feel comfortable no matter what time of day you visit.

The only difference I've personally noticed is with the staff. During my earlier visits, the service felt a little more polished and attentive. The previous team really helped create the welcoming experience that many regular customers came to expect. More recently, the service has felt a bit different, but I also recognize that newer staff members need time to settle in and build that same rhythm and familiarity.

Overall, the quality of the food and coffee keeps me coming back. Avenue remains one of Astoria's great neighborhood restaurants and a place I'd continue recommending for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or simply a good cup of coffee !!“

“Landed at LaGuardia just after midnight and needed something quick and dependable. Stopped by Michael’s around 1am and it delivered. Classic burger and fries were solid and hit the spot. No complaints. Open 24 hours, which is huge after a late flight.“

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

“It is located inside the Vista LIC Hotel where we had the opportunity to have breakfast. Friendly and efficient service, good quality freshly prepared breakfast. Right now there is a promotion $11.99 two eggs, bacon/sausage, potatoes, juice/coffee/tea.“

“I recommend the waitress Monica Barrera at the IHOP in Panorama City Calif as she gives such great and wonderful service. She asks if everything is ok and always comes back to give refills. This is much appreciated. Best wishes from the original Johnny Blaze, and "may the Blaze be with you."“

“I was so surprised the fried chicken and the burger was so tasty and crispy . And my girl is so picky. But she asked me to buy the fried chicken for her. Also they do have special combo . The owner is very nice. So glad I found this restaurant in my neighborhood.“

“I ordered via uber eats since I had a gift card.
I got ten wings, lemon flavor and original. I got a large blue cheese too. Their prices much more affordable than wing stop. Also flavors were potent I love it. It filled me up so much I saved about 7 wings for the next day. Gotta get some more.“

“I went there in person, and I showed up absolutely starving, hoping for something good and they definitely came through. I’m actually a returning customer. I moved away for a bit, but now I’m back in the area, and it felt great to return to the same awesome food.

I ordered the Chicken Souvlaki Platter, and it was honestly one of the best meals I’ve had in a while super fresh, flavorful, and fast.

They’ve got a Grade A rating, which you can tell from how clean and well-kept the place is. The staff was really friendly too ..
Overall, great food, great service, and solid vibes. Definitely recommend!“

“Excellent service, very friendly,delicious food. My spot is in Staten Island ny, new Dorp location.“

“I order from here on Grubhub and absolutely LOVE the oxtail, mango lemonade, and the fried shrimp. The food is tasty and the portions are good. I've never had an issue with my orders. The oxtail literally falls off the bone and the rice and peas is tasty on it's own. There's enough food to eat from it twice is you have a smaller appetite.“
