12 Best American Restaurants in Flushing

“157 Tavern has been a staple in the area for 10 years and is an excellent choice for parties or group gatherings. You can simply provide them with your budget, and they will curate the menu for you, which makes the planning process very convenient.

Regarding the food:

Grilled Spanish Octopus: Highly recommended. The potato pave is delicious, and the octopus is tender with a perfect charred exterior.

Short Rib with Bone Marrow: The meat is very tender and falls apart at the touch of a fork, though I wish the portion of bone marrow was a bit larger.

King Salmon: Quite tender.

Burrata Cheese: Standard/average.

Caramel Flan: Delicious and beautifully presented.

Overall, it is a great spot for a nice dinner.“

“I had an amazing experience at Golden K Burgers. Golden K Burgers must be one of the best burger places I have eaten at. Firstly, Golden K Burger has such a good party vibe! It is a great place for not just burgers, but also partying!!! The burgers were amazing. We asked for recommendations from the staff, and she suggested The Classic American, The A1, The Farmhouse, and The Bulogoi Burger. Somehow, we ordered all 4, and unfortunately, I never tasted The Classic American. I could say otherwise for the rest of the burgers. The A1 Burger was an amazing burger, the mushroom flavor stood out, and it had a great saucy flavor. The meat was very juicy and soft. The Bulgogi Burger is not as special, it just tastes like marinated beef, and nothing else. The Bulgogi Burger is not worth the money. The Farmhouse was amazing! It had a recognizable smokey flavor, with the crunchy onion, it became a juicy, smokey, crunchy burger! It was my favorite one, and you HAVE to try it! The french fries were very crunchy and delicious, and the meat to bun ratio was perfect! Even though the whole place was busy, the waiters were super kind and helpful. The whole place was clean, and their sofas felt amazing. Their meals come out faster than expected, and they even have an outdoor area for parties, even though you have to reserve it. Speaking of reserving, you HAVE to reserve a seat, online or by calling. We were very lucky, the place was not as packed and I got a seat in less than 10 minutes, but other times, I cannot say the same. Reserving does not take a lot of time, and can save you a lot of time inside the restaurant since it is packed!!! The inside of the restaurant also feels very cramped due to the small space and the number of customers, so it might get uncomfortable. The bottles are also… weird. For some reason, when we got 2 soda drinks from the glass bottles, there was residue on the rim of the bottle, even though it was freshly opened, I suggest drinking from straws! Overall, I love this place, it really deserves a high score on Google Maps. I highly recommend it as one of THE BEST burger places in New York!“

“This place is a hidden gem. U get all the diner classics, that are delicious...BUT...u also geat AMAZING Latin food, some of the best I've ever eaten and killer smoothies!!

“Wonderful place to eat!!!“

“Great place! Great atmosphere! Excellent people! Dive bar/Irish pub feel, and very clean. We didn't have any food but I'd bet it's pretty good too! My wife and I just stopped in for a drink, but ended up sitting a few hours at the bar chatting and laughing with the staff, the owner and other patrons, had a great time! Highly recommend!“

“Very loud and energetic for last game of the season. Great service from our waiter Ryan. He was attendative, and got us drinks fast. 10/10, would recommend (that rhymes hehe). Will definitely be returning again next year and requesting Ryan.“

“Had a wonderful experience at the Steakhouse! The food was excellent, the atmosphere was inviting, and the service truly stood out. Blanche and Jen were incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. Raphael crafted our drinks, and they were fantastic—beautifully made and a great complement to the food. The entire team made us feel welcome and well taken care of. Looking forward to coming back soon!“

“Had my husband’s surprise party this weekend. My family has had parties their in the past and Monahan’s continues to live up to their excellent reputation. The servers were so friendly, professional and engaging with our family…their personalities are perfect for their jobs….thank you so much. The food was outstanding….first time we had the stuffed mushroom and they were amazing. All our appetizers, The London broil, turkey and pasta salad were just perfect. My guests were very happy. My family continues to highly recommend Monahan’s. Thank you so much Jeff 😀“

“Great beer choice“

“This is my morning spot - best iHOP on the planet, and I've been to more than a few over the years and across the U.S.

Service is speedy and friendly. Staff here are literally like family. Yesci, Dora, Estephany, Lucy, Carlos, and Kevin are jewels. Kitchen crew are fabulous - Jose is an artist. Freddy & Julio are experts on the grill. You know the food is good when the staff eats in the establishment.

The place is very well-managed, and you can tell the working staff are cared-for. All the folks working here have a warm relationship with each other, and it carries over into the whole vibe.

Come early: no wait and enjoy the jazz/American Songbook soundtrack.

Great food, great people, great atmosphere. What more could you want?“
