Restaurants in Rockaway Park

“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.”

“Had a flashback to when I used to work on that beach and we would always stop there for our lunch so I then found myself here again different recipe or chef still good tho.”

“super yummy food. healthy options too!”

“I went to The Harbor Light with my grandfather who is hard of hearing. I cannot tell you how accommodating the staff was. We originally sat in an area where he was unable to hear well. The owner Bernadette and the server Annie opened up a whole other section in the restaurant for us that was quieter. They were so kind and we enjoyed a lovely lunch. I would definitely recommend this place. They truly care about their patrons. Thank you Harbor Light!”

“We love coming here. The service is always great. So is the food! Small and cozy. Conveniently located. It’s one of our favorites.”

“The food is exceptional here. Each time I've been here the sushi is tasty, the rolls are fresh and the tempura is crispy. The salmon teriyaki was light, flaky and sauced to perfection. The salmon sashimi is top tier and I could have 20 of these in one sitting. The white tuna and red snapper sashimi are also favorites. The sake and crazy salmon rolls were also really really good, the volcano roll wasn't my favorite. I love coming and trying new rolls each time. Its great value when doing the all you can eat option.

The service is great in the sense that you get really tasty and fresh food as soon as its ready. After ordering, our servers brought our items as they were ready and checked on us throughout to clear empty plates and bring more as we needed. They gave us time to eat/enjoy and we didn't feel rushed at any point. If busy then there might be a small wait to get their attention but other than that, I think they do a great job. Sometimes you'll see workers sitting at a table enjoying their lunch as well, but it doesn't bother me because they do such a great job behind the scenes.

The space is clean, tidy, and spacious. They have a selection of booths or tables to sit at. There is also a restroom for customers that is clean and convenient.

Overall a great experience and I'll be back again for the all you can eat option.”

“Amazing rice and beans. Maybe some of the friendliest people in the Rockaways hands down. Great to have a place that has healthy options. Especially vegetarian options.”

“We were a group of 23 to celebrate my sister’s birthday, and John, Alex, the staff could not have been more attentive and accommodating. The beer was awesome, the appetizers delicious, the venue just gorgeous, the music and the vibe so good!! We will be back again!”

“I drove down from Canada and found Beach Bagel through google, and I’m so glad that I did. Their bagels are absolutely delicious - 10/10 recommend!! A special thanks to all of the staff, particularly Mohamed, who exude such warmth and kindness. My family will definitely be back :)”

“thx , it was very delicious, big portions, great service. i love this place. tourists from Poland”

“My son took me here for a birthday dinner after hanging at Rockaway Beach. This was one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to. The pasta is homemade and delicious. I had a ravioli dish that was finished off with heating in their brick oven. I’d like to rate this restaurant 10 stars!!!!”

“A wonderful start to the day with the freshly squeezed fruits and veggies at a fair price. I proudly recommend Baya Bar for your healthy choice of beverage in the Rockaway Park area.”

“This place has the right ambiance. It's cozy, it's quirky, it's laid back and the bar tenders are sublime. And the only place in Rockaway that opens late.”

“One of the biggest likes I have with this place is the phone service . The girl that answers every time is beyond respectful and sweet. She was patient with all my questions and with me not making up my mind. The establishment is also well kept and cleaned anytime I’ve been in there. The Buffalo slice is to die for I need the recipes !”

“O M G Ty for recommending this sauerkraut! Game changer So yummy with your Cherrywood Kielbasa, soft polish rye and mustard”

“Everything I’ve tried here has been delicious. The ham and cheese croissant was amazing even cold. The chocolate chip cookie had the perfect salty-sweet balance. I don’t even like blueberries, but their blueberry bun with cream cheese frosting was so good I had to pause. The blondie was soft and rich and just right.

It’s really hard to find a bakery where everything hits. This place does. You can tell there’s real care in the food. This isn’t just baking to bake, there’s love in it.”

“I absolutely love local bars. This place was the poster child for that.

Virginia was the bartender...awesome!

John and Jim introduced themselves to me. They were born and raised there. I got a ln amazing history lesson of the local area from these great guys.

This place is everything you look for in a local bar.

I'm actually considering buying a place in this area because of how cool the locals are, and they hang out at this awesome place.

Thanks Virginia (that was my mom's name). I'll be back again.”

“A great place to eat in and friendly atmosphere to have a few pints staff very attentive ☘️👍✅”

“Delicious Polish food, a large selection of cold cuts. nice service worth a look.”

“Unassuming Italian-centric bodega with all the classics: fresh mozz, chicken cuttys, and of course the deli with boar's head cuts. Be detailed with your order because they'll give you exactly what you ask for.”

“Their logo “America’s Freshest Ice Cream” is so true. So delicious that we get some irrespective of the weather. Satisfaction guaranteed, and the staff are friendly and patient. I finally remembered to take a picture of the cone before I finished it.”

“Owner great guy know him years at other shop .Great selectio choc babka apple crumb pie ass pastry platter crumb cake choc chip cookie lemon drops ass cookies tremendous choc cake too straw short hon mention coffee csppie iced hot have patience try park keep eye on double parking and cake up allready lifes too short”

“food was really good. amazing staff”

“The Rockaway is really needed a spot like this that you could go to later at night it’s not 116th St. I really like the falafel here a lot, it’s well flavored with good seasoning. The people behind the counter always super friendly and confirm your order. I order out here but once or twice a week. Highly recommend.”

“The best food in Rockaway.”

“Besides the food being great, the staff are Incredible and very friendly. Seems like there are many younger staff and they are all very professional. My favorite place to get coffee and bagels to dinner. Keep up the good work.”

“They have an amazing frozen coffee. The pistacho latte is also very good. We came here going to the beach and the frozen coffee was great for the walk left in that hot summer day. Thanks for everything”
