Came here for St. Patty's Day and the food was great. Exactly what we wanted. Minus the fact that the kitchen seemed a little slammed and the service was a little slow, but overall still an enjoyable experience.

We wanted to eat fish and chips and we got just what we wanted!My wife got sweet potato fries, and for the first time I can honestly say it was really tasty and as good as regular fries.

Loved visiting this place with a friend for brunch! The food was great for the price and it has such a cozy vibe. The drinks are a good price as well during brunch and I would love to come back again alone or with friends. It’s small and the seating is a bit tight but it’s a good place to hang out. Definitely give it a try if you are in the area! The brunch burger was delicious and cooked how I like it but the main star for me were the truffle fries.

This place was to loud for me. On a Tuesday night you could barely even here the person next to you or cross the table. I found this very frustrating. However they are open later than most places in this area. So there is that. The food is ok, the curry was delicious, truffle french fries off the hook. The chicken sandwich is hit or miss, sometimes it's good and other times it's dry. Same goes for the Cubano, something it's good and other times there is no meat and to much mustard (there has to be a lot of mustard for me to say this). Overall it's fine. The service, well they only come to the table twice, once to take our order and then once to give us the bill, never checked in on us or refilled our drinks. And it was not particularly busy either. They charge a service charge of 3% on every bill. I hate that they do this, but more and more it's on the customer.

Simple neighborhood joint that you can’t go wrong with. Everyone in LIC loves this place and it’s for a reason. The quality is consistent and they have a wide array of options to choose from. The lamb burger is delicious and they have some great beers on tap. Always looking forward to coming here because you know what you’ll get!
Amazing kid-friendly brunch spot in Long Island City. Yay, a kids menu. They also have an amazing gin cocktail menu and mimosa flight.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and high chairs. Lots of kids here.

I debated leaving this review, so in full transparency, my goal here is to be constructive and hope that it somehow leads to improvements.I can honestly say that I have never received such poor customer service from a waitress in my life.Two friends and I went here for lunch. The waitress took my friends drink orders and walked away from the table without acknowledging me.I am editing this review after reading others because—I am black and my two friends are not. When the waitress walked away without taking my drink order, I wondered if it was racially driven. After reading many other reviews about how POC were treated in this establishment, I feel justified in my perception.She also neglected to bring utensils or water, and forgot both when she returned after we asked.My friend and I ordered Bloody Mary’s and both agreed they were the worst we’ve ever had and barely took a sip. The waitress never asked why we didn’t touch our drinks, and given her initial demeanor, we didn’t feel comfortable asking her for a replacement.The three of us instead decided to try the mimosa flight, and asked if we could get 3 glasses so we could all taste each drink. Her immediate response to our request was, “three glasses, why?” We also asked for straws and only got two for the table.When our food arrived, she handed me my plate instead of placing it down in front of me. This normally wouldn’t bother me, but the less than subpar service thus far, clearly indicated that she did this intentionally. She also walked away from the table so fast after delivering the food, (we barely uttered the words thank you before she was gone) that we didn’t get a chance to ask for salt, pepper or ketchup (for the French fries we ordered!).When we needed her she wasn’t there. And she never stuck around long enough to make sure we had everything we needed. I should also mention, the place was not even close to busy. She just couldn’t be bothered.At the end of the day, we turned to another server for the rest of our requests. She was helpful, friendly and kind. I regret that she was not our waitress for brunch. She is the only reason I am not leaving a one star review.I wish I could leave a name, but she obviously neglected to tell us that as well.

Stopped by Woodbines with a friend after searching for a spot to eat at via Yelp. Saw the reviews and pictures and decided to give this place a shot. Started off a sangria which was ok and Jumbo wings which were solid. For my main, I got the woodbine burger ($17) with truffle fries ($2 extra) which was also solid. For dessert got the chocolate lava cake ($9) which was good but the chocolate did not flow like lava from the initial breaking of the cake. Overall a good experience with good service.

I've lived here in LIC on Center Blvd. for a number of years, but for some reason never tried Woodbines. My best friend treated me to brunch there this past Sunday, and frankly, I was blown away! One helluva Irish Pub, which I'm glad we got to enjoy! They don't take reservations, and seeing how packed they were around 1 p.m. on Sunday makes that very understandable! Great service...great food (their Irish Breakfast was to DIE for...along with their mimosa flight was fabulous...although I'd suggest mixing and matching...the passion fruit was a bit thick...lol). Can't recommend them highly enough!
