“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!!!“

“This place has the best food, drinks, and atmosphere in Woodside.“

“My family and I went to Veranda restaurant in Bayside yesterday for. Birthday dinner. The restaurant is well located, with street parking and valet service as well. There’s an outdoor patio, that for obvious reason we couldn’t use. The temperatures in NY have been in the single digits lately. The food and the service were on another level! Gregory was very attentive, welcoming and friendly. The food was finger liking good! I had the pan seared scallops with spinach risotto and OMG. I can’t wait to go back. Everyone was pleased with the their food choices and I highly recommend this place, unfortunately I didn’t take pics of everyone’s food. Only if mine, I hope you find this review useful. Happy dining:)“

“Great food!! Great drinks! Just come and enjoy!“

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

“Delicious well-seasoned food. We had the shrimp boil with potatoes, corn, and broccoli, an order of cranberry rice, and an order of jerk wings. Every dish was great. Service is nice. The food is made to order so it’s not fast but it’s worth it. There are two outdoor tables so seating is a little bit difficult to come by.“

“Great restaurant making yummy authentic Hispanic food. Not really big enough for dine in parties but generous portions, warm staff, and you're greeted by the delicious aroma of the outdoor grill when you arrive. Their seafood soup and marinated red onions really impressed. I need to try the salchicha.“

“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.“

“A really great restaurant with attention paid to plant based diets. There are loads of choices and great service. It's a lovely place and they also like to encourage dancing and live music performances. Makes a really nice night, but I'd also go here for a lunch or early dinner“

“Food was excellent! I ordered the breakfast burrito, grits with cheese and my daughter got a veggie omelette with hash browns. It hit the spot. We dined in, plenty of seating, good music and were comfortable. There were a lot of customers in and out. The staff was friendly and seemed to have a good rapport with everyone. I recommend them and will come again if in the area.“

“My favorite place. I love to go there everyday.“

“Great pizza, made by special request. Great brownie, warned without my even asking. Very friendly guy. If we're not staying nearby on my next visit to NYC, I would consider taking the subway just to eat here. Lots of variety besides pizza. Safe area even at night. Great price for can soda and it's really cold.“

“Went for the first time today . The owners came up to me and introduced themselves. I tried the stuffed pizza and Detroit slice it was really delicious“

“It's a really small place, maybe about 8 to 10 tables. But to food and the service is wonderful. I highly recommend it for Ecuadorian food waitress was very attentive, recommended some of their food items and everything we ordered was very well. Done and presented“

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

“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!“

“The food really delicious the server ver pleasant And kind . Also net and good looking.“

“Best experience love there biscuits and their chicken. Especially the 4 for 5.99 3pcs chicken (Thigh or leg) 1 biscuit can’t go wrong with that. Must try the loaded fries with cheese and bacon bites and jalapeño best thing when you are baked. Great customer service I’ve received from employees and employee Adnan always been great, every time I come in. And their desert cakes gots to try.“

“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.“

“Fast delivery, I ordered the teriyaki and Fried rice bowl, good flavor and would order again. I also ordered the apple cinnamon Bao as it looked amazing, it was very disappointing. The apples weren't seasoned so all I could taste was the breading, I will not order that again and I only ate 1 of them.“

“Nice place! Enjoyed the mimosas.“

“We recently hired Royal Delight Catering for our company event and everything was perfect from start to finish. Peter gave us the best price and worked closely with us to match the setup exactly as we envisioned. The food was absolutely delicious our guests couldn’t stop talking about it!
What impressed me most was that Peter personally came to the venue to make sure every detail looked great and that we were happy. I’m so glad we chose Royal Delight Catering; they made our event stress-free and memorable. Highly recommend!

“Not busy the midweek morning when we went. Ample booth and table seating.
Large menu. I liked that there is a variety ie of egg benedicts, etc. Went for Fig and goat cheese omelet, with potatoes and toast - very good.
My husband got the Irish breakfast - large portion so he just had 1/2 of the proteins.
Free refills for coffee.
Restrooms are downstairs.
We got metered street parking; 7 train along Queens Blvd.“

“Hit the spot. I had the “Mexican” Omelette with added ham. Along with what looks to be actual home fries made from actual non processed potatoes.. not the chopped up store bought kind.. Either I was exhausted from walking all day and it being 2 AM, or this food was just that good! Never the less, I will definitely be eating there again!“

“Carlos was the best server ever!!“

“I saw that one review from the person saying their oxtail was bad, but saw a plethora of positive reviews standing against it. I decided to give them a go and do NOT regret it! Lovely little spot for a late night meal! The cashier was very pleasant with a great attitude. I came by after finding my Airbnb and ordered 3 empanadas: Jerk Chicken, Salmon, & Oxtail. This is not a standard menu option, but she told me I could mix and match :)

I loved it!!! WONDERFULLY tasty food and a perfect crisp to the empanadas - not too hard and not too soft/mushy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“friendly staff large portions of delicious food. Overall great experience. 5 ⭐“

“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.“

“This has honestly and silently become the most solid breakfast spot in Ridgewood. Super understated, you’ve probably passed by it without even knowing what it was or how good it is but truly it is amazing and so worth a try!

3 varieties of crispy, flaky, flavorful burek (eastern European style pizza) - cheese, meat, or spinach. I’m veggie and the spinach is honestly to die for. Portion is huge and filling, and for $7.50 a slice it’s the cheapest breakfast “sandwich” you’re gonna find in the neighborhood.

There are some tables inside if you want to sit but it’s more of a take out type of place I would say. No frills, not the best ambiance, but the food speaks for itself! So so good. Be advised it’s cash only!“

“Great group good food and great drinks.“

“Went to Sugar Factory in Queens for my daughter's birthday dinner , it was a Monday night and not too busy and the place didnt disappoint! She was able to take pictures and it wasnt super busy so the wait staff was really attentive. Everything was very nice from the service, to the ambiance to the food, we had a great experience.“

“My family and I went to Bourbon for Easter Sunday brunch. From door to table we were treated like guests of honor. Nothing but great service, timely attention, and amazing food. I had the Crispy Chicken Salad Croissant which was tasty, flavorful, and hearty. And the mimosas/belinnis hit the spot. Definitely the spot you want to with friends and family.“
