From the welcoming staff, to the delicious food, it is always a pleasure to dine at Margie’s. Manager PJ always welcomes patrons with a smile as well as good conversation. We always look forward to his company and warm welcome! Definitely check out Margie’s next time you want a great night out with family and friends!“

“My friends and I had a lovely afternoon at The Rockaway Hotel Pool house. We were greeted by a warm and friendly hostess, Isabella, who made us feel so welcomed. Our beautiful table was in the perfect spot to take in all of what the Rockaway Hotel has to offer. The outside bar and Pool house are exquisite. The pool was bustling with excitement. Our waiter, Andrew, was polite and helpful . I highly recommend coming to The Rockaway Hotel because their staff is highly professional and attentive.“

“Juan at Cotto at the LGA terminal C location was very attentive while visiting the terminal on our way back home from our NYC visit. It’s the airport so it’s a little more than if you got it somewhere else but I was very happy with the meatball Parmesan and the wedge salad my wife and I got as well as the Long Island iced tea. It’s New York and is not Burger King and you get what you pay for. They were all very good here. Juan was able to happily accommodate getting a little side of extra marinara sauce for my wife’s sandwich. Was a very pleasant experience and I highly recommend. Enjoyed our visit.“

“Enjoyed the delicious foods, lovely plating. Left happy and satisfying. Would recommend to anyone to eat there.“

“Great spot for burgers and chicken sandwiches! The chicken platters are absolute fire too! 5/5“

“Very attentive staff!! Delicious food! I love the music!!“

“My father and I went here to grab a bite before a flight. We both got the pizza burger medium. Was a big burger. I enjoyed it. The burger alone was enough for me. My dad got the platter. Honestly I didn’t care for the fries. They were overdone and really oily. Also they didn’t have regular old mustard, just a Dijon.“

“Probably the best airport food I’ve ever had. We ordered the BBQ Burger, Essex Burger and hot dogs and they were phenomenal. The service was quick, and the atmosphere was relaxing after a stressful missed connecting flight. Highly recommend.“

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

“It is a business that cares more than just doing business. Loyd and staff care about helping people in the community. The food is great, the Beer is cold and the staff are friendly. What more can you ask? (Rhetorical question lol)“

“best food in jfk kertie bissoondyal was an amazing waitress, she was professional and fast with our order. she always gives good service to us everytime where at the palm.“

“Loved it here! Just stopped in at the spur of the moment and I am so glad I did! Felt like I was in a Manhattan Bar! Eva the bartender was great and so was the rest of the staff. Felt like I was with friends.“

“High expectations, but not impressed with this visit. Wednesday early dinner , 7/23/25, 5pm.
No issue with availability and service, very attentive.
Chicken dish with sauce ok, but asparagus flimsy and green bean sized while mashed potatoes served ice cream scoop and lacking in flavor.
Long awaited favorite of mine, fish and chips.
Fish better than most in area, still lacking in wow factor while the (chips) were a flimsy mess , no crisp or seasoning.
As to beer, Stella was fine but Blue Moon dark and flat.
Better luck next time.“

“The food is amazing! We had the mussels, Brussels sprouts, artichoke hearts, chicken, shepherd’s pie, fish sandwich, and burger. The drinks were wonderful and the ambiance was so much fun. Really had a laugh at the bathroom with all the googly eyes.“

“I am a vegetarian person who doesn't cook any meat nor boil eggs at home. I have a small puppy at home. I requested them to make me some boiled mince lamb with only tumeric for my puppy which they did give me even though they dont make it for pets. It was made w/o any spices,it was just plain boiled lamb with some tumeric.My puppy really enjoyed her meal. I really appreciate the helpful staff and the chef who went above n beyond to make my puppy happy. I always thought that they make only non vegetarian food but was surprised to see that they also make vegetarian food too. I am ordering Rajma chawal along with some chaats for me today. It'd going to be my favorite place going forward. Once again thank you for making my puppy n me so happy. Appreciate all staff who made it possible.❤❤❤❤❤“

“Was great to check out Sunswick after so many years! I grew up in the area and remember when it first opened apparently 18 years ago ? I left NYC in 2012 ?. Beer selection is still amazing, food is absolutely delicious. Service was a little spotty and I wouldn't say friendly or welcoming but it would not stop me from coming back.“

“I experienced Nettie’s for the first time last evening. My dining experience was excellent from arrival to departure. The food was “DELISH!” The owner was welcoming & hospitable, the service was good, and the music and atmosphere wea awesome! I am so pleased and proud to have a “Black” owned establishment where you can dine in Queens in a tasteful environment, supporting our entrepreneurs and our community. I, along with others will be back!!!“

“I'd like to give kudos to Nick and his staff at Veranda Restaurant & Cafe. We held my daughter's bridal shower brunch for 22 people there today under the pergola. The food was excellent, and the waitstaff led by Daniel was impeccable! I highly recommend this venue.

Dietary restrictions: I'm allergic to cilantro, so they prepared guacamole specially for me without this ingredient.

Parking: Valet garage parking“

“Very nice well deinks, amazing service and the food was good“

“I had 12oz Ribeyes with sides of steamed broccoli and mashed potato, waffles fries and a coke.
- First of all waffle fries is really delicious 4.5/5.
- For Ribeyes it was thin and I ordered medium-rare, it came medium. Tastes a little salty for me, I like the flavor. It is pricy for this quality of meat choice and cook. Sides are okay. 3.5/5“

“This place it's so cute! A must try for sure. Their food is amazing good! I went with my girls to celebrate our birthdays and it did not disappointed. Coming back for sure!“
