50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Astoria

“My wife and I threw a Bridal Shower here and Vaso and her team were OUTSTANDING!!!! They went above and beyond to make our guests feel comfortable and welcome.
The food and drinks were delicious and well presented. The Zucchini Fritters were excellent.“

“Delicious coffee with a chill vibe!!! Really friendly and helpful barista! A must stop when in Astoria ☕️❤️“

“There are many excellent Greek restaurants in Astoria and Ambrosia Garden can hold its own with all of them. The decor is splendid. It feels like you are being teleported to an intimate Greek island. Pavlos, our server, was top notch. Every dish we had was on point. The meal started with fresh house baked bread and olive oil. Excellent. We then ordered the Hellenic salad, tzatziki, a couple of glasses of Cava and some wine. I ordered the grilled lamb chops, my wife and mother in law ordered two branzinos and my father in law ordered the cod special. I loved it all. My father in law thought that the cod was too salty and Pavlos was extremely apologetic. He proceeded to give us a couple of desserts on the house. Amazing. Each are done in house and they are special. We had a sticky cake layer topped with a cream and pistachio. It was divine and then we had their famous orange cake. So good. I finished off the meal with a perfect double espresso. Thank you Pavlos and thank you Ambrosia Garden for a wonderful experience.“

“Great restaurant! Run by the family. Delicious food, wonderful service, great ambience. Highly recommend!“

“Pedi un cake para 20 personas y en tamaño me ofrecen uno alto y el que me llegó fue“

“This place is 10/10 perfect.. We were looking for a late breakfast before heading to the airport and found this spot on Google Maps.. So glad we stopped in!! The staff were so sweet to us, and the food was absolutely amazing.. The donuts sell out fast but absolutely live up to the hype. The egg Sammy is somehow better than the one my mom makes (don’t tell her I said that).. Iced coffee was perfect.. But my fav was the lamb sausage (a first for me) and the fresh hibiscus iced tea.. I can’t recommend this place enough, and I’m literally down to drive back into the city from the Hamptons just to grab brunch!! If you’re in Astoria and looking for some good food and good vibes this place is a must..“

“If you want authentic great Mexican Food & Drink.. Ruta Oaxaca is the best ! Great service , friendly staff and great variety.“

“The hospitality here is truly unmatched. We were visiting from out of town, and it was immediately obvious that this is the kind of place with a loyal community of regulars. Ben greeted us with so much kindness, humor, and genuine hospitality that we felt like regulars ourselves.

We trusted him to choose our order, and every recommendation was absolutely delicious. What started as a quick pit stop before we left NYC ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip. We left jokingly daydreaming about moving to Queens just so we could become regulars ourselves. If you’re in the area, you need to add it to your list.“

“The guy is so nice. The iced latte was excellent (and I’m a coffee snob), and the tuna sandwich was excellent (I’m also a tuna sandwich snob). And my friend really liked his his strawberry rose matcha. Outdoor seating is pleasant too.“

“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!“

“Great vibe. Great people.“

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

“Loved the food and cocktail menu. You can tell that the establishment knows their food, wine, etc and it comes off in the drinks and food!“

“Great experience with prompt response and delivery to the medical team! You made nurses of Mount Sinai Hospital very happy! Thanks much! Alla Levin“

“Great service, delicious iced coffee and matcha latte!“

“I have used Nerwan for a couple of specialty cakes. Very talented, very accommodating, very delicious, and spot on service. This young entrepreneur went from working from home to a beautiful little location. It is a pleasure to contribute to her rise in this field, so give her a shot for your baking needs or just stop by and try her products you certainly will be pleasantly surprised and pleasantly satisfied.“

“excellent coffee very nice place,very kind and professional staff !“

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

“Get ready to clutch your pearls: I've not yet been to Abuqir.

Gasp! Shock! Horror! Won't someone please think of the CHILDREN???

In my defense, doesn't this mean my review of Le Petit Pecheur (which always makes me think of George Bizet's underrated opera, for all you Romantic Era nerds) wil be...purer? No annoying comparisons and such?

I digress. We came, we seafood-ed, we smiled.

- Fried Sardines: My favorite dish of the night. Perfectly breaded, lightly crispy, totally filling, yet not briney or heavy. I think I'm in love....

- Baba Ganoush + Hummus + Pita: I forget why we ordered these, but they were tasty and creamy and made a nice distraction while we waited for our entrees.

- Grilled Octopus: Perfectly chewy and zesty, exactly the kind of poulpe you might enjoy on the beachy coast of the southern Mediterranean.

- Scallops: Also well cooked, and tastier than they had any right to be considering the simple seasoning.

- Shrimp Linguine in butter garlic sauce: I mean, you really can't go wrong with a dish like this. My only regret was having to share it with five other friends.

- Branzino: Butterflied, tender and full of flavor. There are many branzino dishes out there. This one won't break the bank, and will leave both your stomach and your wallet happy.

If you need more, definitely pad your meal with Mashed Potatoes and Fries because carbs are happy things, and happy things deserve to be eaten.

Space is ample, as are the portions, and service is quick and friendly. They play a lovely mix of North African French and Arabic music, which just adds to the beachy resort town atmosphere, IMO. Perhaps one day I'll finally make it to Abuqir, and the cycle will be complete.“

“Love the customer service and food as well as setting.“

“Just had THE BEST breakfast, from the coffee down to the quiche and pastries! Even the salad with their homemade dressing was an experience. So glad we made the trip and will recommend to all!“

“My favorite spot for an acai bowl! The owner and the staff are always so sweet and welcoming. I’m obsessed with the Stella nutella bowl. Also the portion sizes are good and actually fill you up. Their gelato is a hidden gem too!
Everything tastes so fresh and delicious. It’s become my favorite post workout reward. Highly recommend 💚“

“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“

“Food is absolutely delicious!“

“Had a great time at Bar Dalia having a birthday party yesterday. Ricky, Crystal and Megan made sure everything went smooth. Bryan was very helpful in coordinating and planning. We had about 20 guests in the back lounge area which was just for our party. The food and drinks were amazing. The service was very quick. Highly recommend for having parties or going on date nights.“

“Great bar and food! Excellent service. I accidentally entered and ordered before the bar was officially open (realized the hours later upon a Google search) and the waiter was completely kind and gracious —giving no signs that I had arrived 30 minutes too early. I look forward to returning. Thank you for your hospitality!“

“You feel like family from the first time you walk through the door. I come into town on business every few months and I'm always welcomed with a big smile from everyone there. The food is fresh and full of flavor, the drinks are always amazing, and the service always top notch. I even brought my daughter here for her 21st birthday and the bartender Marissa took the time to ask her some questions and made her a special birthday cocktail. She also gave her the 101 on drinking safely and responsibly which is awesome coming from another woman. The seasonal drink menu is always a hit; I look forward to the changes each time and make it a point to try as many as possible! If I could give the staff more than 5 stars I would!“

“Pasta, al dente. Sauce, out of this world. Vibes, off the charts. Il Nonno is such a breath of fresh (basil-filled) air. Last night, I stopped in with my friends for dinner and --more than once--after one side of the table tried a dish and implored the other to try, our eyes met in total food joy. "Oh my gah...this is SO good" was uttered too many times to count. Now let's get to the nitty, gritty. Our picks: Porcini ravioli (homemade pasta, phenomenal) Seafood risotto (menu says it's in a light tomato sauce. Definitely light, but it's far more flavorful than what I consider "light tomato sauce") Pasta Bolognese (another handmade wonder, lusciously complex sauce). Pasta Siciliana this one has eggplant and ricotta in a ROBUST sauce. Squid Ink Seafood Pasta was out of control. Like I need more savory adjectives in my life to describe this adequately. Apps. We loved all equally, but I mean calamari fritti is a no-brainer here and I literally had to slap the bread out of one friend's hand because she'd say she was full but relentlessly dipped more and more bread into the white wine mussels broth! The tuna carpaccio was almost too pretty to eat buuuut...we scarfed it down. Finally, Dessert. Chocolate cake (go with me here...you could smell the warm chocolate as it approached the table, incredible). Tiramisu, not too sweet, not too "damp"...perfection. And quite possibly even better than the banging food, we were lucky enough to chat up the delightful owner who introduced us to the chef (who happened to come from a VERY well-known Italian restaurant in Manhattan)! And all of the culinary magic instantly made sense. Don't walk. Don't run. Teleport to this place. Your taste buds will love you for it.“

“We always enjoy the food and drinks here. Luisa was a great waitress and we had a nice time there. The chicken champignon (mushroom sauce) was delicious and loaded with mushrooms. Great classic margaritas for under $10 with lunch. ❤️“

“Nice place! Enjoyed the mimosas.“

“This pizza is delicious. Even after 3 slices you don’t feel full and weighed down. So good. The dough is unlike anything I’ve had in a pizza. Soft yet crispy. The sauce , cheese all terrific. Found my new pizza joint.“

“Albeit Italian, this is a family-owned restaurant (the owners are Greek). The menu is comprised of mostly Italian dishes, with some inspired Greek dishes. A great neighborhood spot! Love it!“

“Fabulous!! Excellent service & the steak is the best! Cooked to perfection!!“

“You must check out this coffee roaster in Astoria! They have a variety of coffees available so you are sure to find one you like. If you want a little treat they offer a variety of pastries including gluten free and vegan options which is a huge plus. On Mondays at 10:30 am they do weekly coffee cuppings that are open to the public. Be sure to give coffee cupping a try, it's fun to taste different beans and talk with others about what you're tasting.“

“We LOVED Arepas Cafe. We heard about it from the Taste Buds series on TikTok, and it did not disappoint. The vibe / atmosphere is so fun, the staff is friendly, and the food comes out hot and FRESH. An order of empanadas and one arepa was plenty of food for two. This was a wonderful little neighborhood spot and I would highly recommend!“

“Best Italian deli in Astoria, no question. I especially love their marinated mushrooms and garlic (both hot and mild). You get what you pay for. I can't afford to go every day, but when I do, I can't get enough.“

“Great customer Service, we were taken care by Lhamu and we were very pleased and satisfied by her service, she is a very professional and knowledgeable person of the products they sell ( teas ) as well as she is a very kind, humble and honest person
Thank you Lhamu!! 🙏🏼“

“BEST Latte I have ever had!!! ☕️“

“food is delicious. chopped chicken grinder. sooooo good.“

“Wolfhound was hosting CraicFest25 on April 28. It was a brilliant time. The performances was first rate. It is friendly atmosphere with good management.“

“Love this place! It is my go-to spot for late night coffee & wonder crepes in Astoria. The food is excellent ~ The pistachio crepe is one of the best ever. They have a great assortment of ice cream choices that are all absolutely delicious ~ Also the people who work there are all very friendly and accommodating, especially Lorraine~ They also have an exceptional rewards program that is very generous“

“Pig Beach has the best BBQ in town! Get the ribs, the brisket, the wings, the turkey, the corn bread…and stick around for the live music (especially if @thevergenyc is playing)!!!“

“Honestly, me and my family received one of the best first impressions of this cafe it’s one of the best small businesses out there the service was splendid this atmosphere was so joyful and the food was honestly amazing could not ask for more. If your down to add a sprinkle of joy to your life come vist for one of the best eats in Astoria. They cater to people’s diets which is also an up side. Would definitely recommend.“

“Bubble tea and their pastries are amazing! I had the matcha cheesecake and it was delicious! Love the staff over there!“

“Finally tried KAL in Astoria and it did not disappoint! We had the kalbi jjim, yangpoon bibimbap, and soybean stew. Everything was absolutely delicious and full of flavor.

Only managed to get a picture of the galbi because we jumped into the food way too quickly 😂. My wife is Korean, so her approval definitely counts and she loved it! Definitely coming back.“

“September 3rd 2025 UPDATE: Just delivered my Con Ed load and had to stop & enjoy the food these guys make.

THEY NEVER DISSAPOINT.

I been coming here for 2 years. Cool vibes & they got just what you need. GOOD ASS BREAKFAST, & my Linden cookies, & my probiotic soda. Don't know what that is, BUT IT'S DAMN GOOD. Come check them out.

Been coming here for years to STOP & ENJOY!!! GREAT breakfast and the Owner & staff cool. Be back next week.

“Yummy ice cream, the pistachio, chocolate, vanilla, coffee and dolce de leche was 💣“

“Just met you guys at the Greek Fest in Cherry Hill! Excellent gyro, thanks so much“

“❤️ everything there Foods amazing Services amazing Everything amazing“

“Really enjoyed the takeout I ordered for delivery. The Royal Greens Salads are huge!!! I would say they're twice as big as other salads chains. I wish it was easier though to know the dietary info for the salad dressings as I could not tell which ones were vegan. I love that you can choose your own protein and swap some of the toppings or build your own. I also got the green tofu curry dish from SriPraPhai as well. The sauce was incredibly flavor and I liked the amount of kick it had. It was spicy but not too spicy for me atleast. I do wish it had more tofu in it though as it felt very sauce heavy. I would order takeout from here again especially if I was getting food with someone who wanted something different then me. I appreciate the free delivery and the amazing portion sizes. It's nice to be able to order multiple cuisines as well.“
