The food?! AMAZING. Perfectly priced for the quality of what you’re getting. Definitely have the Double Decker with the Maple Beef Bacon! The Panko Chicken Nuggets were crispy, and fresh. The Truffle Fries were seasoned beautifully! Easily one of the most satisfying meals I’ve had in a long time. Excellent portions! I’d love to shake the owner’s hand, but that will have to wait until social distancing is behind us! I’m definitely bringing all my friends, and recommending this spot to my coworkers! No food photo cause I legit inhaled my meal!”

“Let me start with the service was fast and attentive. I ordered steak with seafood (medium rare) and it came in an appropriate time served neatly with a few extras i didnt even notice on the menu. Cooked to perfection which I was happy about. Would love to come back to try all their steaks worth the visit. I went solo but definitely food atmosphere for a group of people. Full service bar even though I dont drink they had enough options to stop in just for a drink. Nice dessert menu to compliment your meal afterwards. Felt like a home away from home. Can't imagine going in and not ordering one of their steaks compliments to the chef!”

Chinese • $
“I had been here once years ago and remembered the food being tasty, so I decided to stop by again yesterday with an older friend who had a doctor’s appointment in the area.
I ordered the lunch special fried rice with shrimp and broccoli for $9, which also included a drink. There were more veggies included which I appreciate as it was plain fried rice usually doesn't include many veggies. My friend ordered the fried chicken with French fries for $10.50. I remember when that order used to be less than lunch special deals.
My friend said it was some of the best fried chicken she’s had from a Chinese restaurant in years. I tried some myself, and I have to agree—it was really tasty. My meal was also flavorful and satisfying.
Overall, we both enjoyed our meals and I would recommend. They only take cash according to the sign so be prepared to have cash.”

They build great sandwiches and do their best keeping the ingredients fresh!The staff great you as you arrive and after getting food there a few times they will remember you. The manager and staff are polite, pleasent and are excellent in serving the customers. They try their best to keep the eating area clean, but there are some very sloppy patrons that leave all their refuse on the tables, but the workers clear away quickly. I try my best to come here only for my sandwiches... Thank you for being wonderful☺🥰”

Colombian • $
“This place was a godsend when I had a multi-hour layover in JFK after a long international flight early in the morning; it's very easy to get to by AirTrain and saves you from paying airport prices for the McDonald's breakfast menu when you're still on Asian time and in the mood for dinner - in fact it's cheaper than McDonalds' off-airport prices these days. The staff spoke English and were willing to explain what things were; I had a nice cup of coffee, some tasty empanadas and a fried croquette filled with minced shredded chicken and vegetables. It is a great choice for anybody that has a lengthy layover in JFK during a meal time, especially if you need to change terminals and leave the secured area anyway.”

Felicia, the manager was hospitable, beautiful and extremely accommodating to our guest. And she did it all with that pretty smile. We loved the special effects of the bubbles during our birthday song. I pray for continued BLESSINGS over this establishment,and the CEO/owner. There is no doubt your business will multiply financially, and the recognition grows in and out of the community because of the service and professionalism. and of course because of the food and drinks. 🙏🏾❤️🥰✊🏾 With kindness Victoria, birthday celebrant”

Sushi • $
“I absolutely love this sushi restaurant and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great sushi or roll or both. The sushi and specialty rolls are always fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. One of the best things about this place is that the prices are very reasonable, especially considering how fresh the fish is and how generous the portions are. It's becoming harder to find a restaurant that offers both excellent quality and affordable prices, but this place does exactly that. What really makes this restaurant special, however, is the owner. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm smile and made to feel like family. The owner is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely appreciates every customer. It's clear that they take pride not only in the food they serve but also in creating a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience for everyone who visits. If you're looking for delicious sushi, great value, and outstanding hospitality, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. I always leave satisfied and look forward to coming back again. Highly recommended!”

They have other baked goods too but I’d say the Haitian meat patties are the star of the show. Super suggest beef. Not the chicken or fish”

“I just got back from a trip to NYC and my brother-in-law treated us to dinner from The Halal Guys in Midtown and I knew it would be good since it was the only food cart with a block-long line after midnight. In fact I liked it so much I wanted to see if I could get something similar nearby... and I found it! I got the chicken and lamb over rice combo and while it wasn't quite the same it was still very good. The only difference is it didn't come with the pita bread and the white sauce tasted a bit different, but not bad. It also has more veggies so more "crunch" but next time I'm going to ask to leave them off (I just don't like the crunch...). I'm very happy to have a local option at a good price and generous portions. Thank you Sam's.”

Especially during quarantine, this has been a true godsend. The chef is so talented, and we love that it's a local family business.

“This restaurant is my absolute favorite Bengali restaurant because truthfully all the dishes I tried were phenomenal, from the appetizers to the dessert the quality and tastes were outstanding. They have an extensive menu and the tastiest desserts!! Feels as fresh as the mishti or mithai from back home! my favorite is the Grilled Lamb Chops, the khala buna, kisuri, kebabs/ garlic naan, chicken walima roast and all the desserts. It’s difficult to pick one! Everything is so rich in flavor and tastes so authentic so you get exactly what you’re paying for but more. Servers are always efficient, happy and polite. One thing that stands this restaurant out from others is its ambience and aesthetic appearance. This is the perfect elegant spot for a family dinner, friend gathering or date night! Everyone needs to try it and you’ll realize how much it stands out. Your taste buds will thank you, trust me!!!!”

“Absolutely loved the food at Surya!! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and tasted authentic. The samosas were crispy and delicious, and the chole bhature and Amritsari kulcha were excellent. The portions were good, the prices were reasonable, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Definitely one of the better spots for Indian snacks and sweets in Queens. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Maria’s Sans Rival cake lives up to the meaning of its name, undoubtedly unrivaled. It was made of sheets of chewy meringue loaded with crunchy cashew nuts, alternating with thick layers of “melt-in-your mouth” buttercream. Glad it was not too sweet that I was able to enjoy large servings of this delightful dessert. Great with coffee or tea.”

“This restaurant is my absolute favorite Bengali restaurant because truthfully all the dishes I tried were phenomenal, from the appetizers to the dessert the quality and tastes were outstanding. They have an extensive menu and the tastiest desserts!! Feels as fresh as the mishti or mithai from back home! my favorite is the Grilled Lamb Chops, the khala buna, kisuri, kebabs/ garlic naan, chicken walima roast and all the desserts. It’s difficult to pick one! Everything is so rich in flavor and tastes so authentic so you get exactly what you’re paying for but more. Servers are always efficient, happy and polite. One thing that stands this restaurant out from others is its ambience and aesthetic appearance. This is the perfect elegant spot for a family dinner, friend gathering or date night! Everyone needs to try it and you’ll realize how much it stands out. Your taste buds will thank you, trust me!!!!”

“Every time I come here, I’m reminded why I keep coming back. The place is always clean, the staff are welcoming, and my order is consistently correct. On this particular day, it was raining and honestly not the nicest weather, but one employee completely changed the atmosphere. Her name was Marie Dieuvil, and she was handing out orders with such positivity, professionalism, and kindness. You could genuinely see people’s moods lifting because of her energy. She made the experience feel warm and enjoyable despite the weather. Employees like Marie truly make a difference and deserve recognition for the care and attitude they bring every day.”

“Okay first of all Mashallah 😍. I was born in the generation of Halalbee’s. First off, I got my order quickly! The man I spoke with had a mask on, and the restaurant was perfectly COVID compliant. The food?! AMAZING. Perfectly priced for the quality of what you’re getting. Definitely have the Double Decker with the Maple Beef Bacon! The Panko Chicken Nuggets were crispy, and fresh. The Truffle Fries were seasoned beautifully! Easily one of the most satisfying meals I’ve had in a long time. Excellent portions! I’d love to shake the owner’s hand, but that will have to wait until social distancing is behind us! I’m definitely bringing all my friends, and recommending this spot to my coworkers! No food photo cause I legit inhaled my meal!”

“The portions for the Shmacon and Lox Bagel are decent BUT very filling. The shmear for the bagel looks thin but was more than enough for me!
The Iced Tiramisu Latte and Iced Chai Latte (both with oat milk) was great. The oatmilk substitute was honestly amazing cause it made the drinks creamier!
As for the brownie, we got lucky with a freshly baked brownie and it was soooo fudgy and cripsy as well. Super delish.”

“Rock Island & Grill = Jamaican food heaven 🌟. I went in skeptical, left a believer. Jerk chicken was ON POINT—spicy, smoky, and so tender it fell off the bone. Oxtail was fall-apart amazing, cooked with love and served with rice & peas that hit like a warm hug. Grilled fish? Fresh catch, perfectly seasoned. 🔥
Only thing? Lines get long on weekends, but trust it’s worth it. If you’re craving authentic Jamaican with a laid-back vibe, Rock Island & Grill’s your spot.”
