50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Rockaway Park

“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!“

“We had five orders. Two egg breakfast bagels, one cream cheese bagel, one roast beef sandwich and one honey chicken sandwich. I would say the best ones were cream cheese bagel and roast beef roll! The egg sandwiches did not have enough eggs. I would had three easy on eggs rather than scrambled eggs. The turkey sandwich was just an ordinary one.“

“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 :)“

“food was really good. amazing staff“

“Writing this review for actually two specific items that this place makes. Two simple items. The bacon egg and cheese on a roll and the bacon lettuce and tomato on toast. I believe one of the owners is a tall Asian guy super super nice and he makes great egg sandwiches and he just makes great sandwiches. But the egg sandwich, the bacon, egg, and cheese And the BLT were fantastic. He always make sure the bacon is crisp and he gives you plenty of it. I’m a real pain in the neck when it comes to food I like things the way I like them and these two simple American classics. Well, they make them really good over here.“

“Best deli ever. I go there to school almost every day. All of the people working there are really nice, for example today I lost my money, and they said to just bring it tomorrow. They are really nice. The food is good. Everything is cheap. Absolutely recommend going there.“

“Wonderful food excellent atmosphere and beautiful live music“

“Serious flavor. You gotta make plans to come here my love. I had the Mercato. The collard greens? Savoryyy! The red lentils? Spiced to a sophisticated perfection! Don’t get me started on the zesty freshness of this injira. I didn’t know it would be this good but I’m so glad it was, I can’t believe I haven’t been here before; but TRUST and believe- I will be back with a vengeful hunger to try more menu selections.“

“Great, delicious food! Beautiful setting. Great Service.“

“Great take on Lu rou fan (minced pork and rice), excellent scallion pancakes and awesome dessert (Tian miantuan) that was like a sandwich of sweet fried dough, golden sesame ice cream and condensed milk (plus cilantro and butter dried peanuts)! Great beverages as well such as the slightly sweetened Jasmine iced tea and Sanzo (lychee & calamansi) sparkling water products!“

“💯👌 Drinks ✅ Food ✅ Vibe ✅“

“Went to Meadowsweet restaurant for dinner with my family. We had an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff were so attentive, helpful and nice. The food amazing!recommend this restaurant! We will be returning soon.“

“This is the best pizza I have ever had, nice crisp, light crust with just the right amount of toppings, no grease at all. I live in CT and thought no pizza was better than our New Haven ones, boy was I wrong!!! Looking forward to returning……soon!“

“Super unique and delicious maple praline brown butter pancakes! More cake than pancake. The wait was not long to get a table and the service was prompt, professional, courteous, and didn’t leave us in want of anything. All of our needs were met. Food was prepared much quicker than expected and was all very good! I would definitely recommend this!“

“Truly the greatest dining experience you can have in the area. The food is incredible, the atmosphere is so welcoming and inviting, you’ll never want to leave. If you get a chance, Monica is also the best part of the whole experience. She made our night a 10 out of 10 to 11. Might have to come on a weekly basis moving forward.“

“Delicious food and cocktails“

“Cozy atmosphere and fine dining“

“I just love this place... !“

“Very impressed since they was decorating the place. I was passing by every day till they finally open and I desire to try the food, I was curious and also I’m not a vegan person. When I finally try that food I just got in shock. Super tasty, delicious, the Trinidad and Dominican Republic flavors- was so down the earth. So thankful to have them at the neighborhood, the service is excellent and Yesenia and her employees super professionals. The ambiance and decoration soo relaxing- I love the food and the service, how they welcome you, is hard to find a place like that. Highly recommended to everyone- vegan or not vegan- 🥗 the talent is there and I wish them success- nice location, sparkling clean - if you are looking for good food - this is your spot-“

“The food was excellent, but the best part was the customer service and the personal attention. The place was beautiful and the atmosphere was luxurious. The manager was a great host! I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a quality experience.“

“Neighborhood gem. Great decor, homey, comfortable but well appointed. I have dined here alone and with family, both times it was a good atmosphere. GM Michael is really good and runs a good staff. The food is delicious- good for all types of diet restrictions. Fresh ingredients well prepared. Last but not least also great cocktails. Host and server were friendly and attentive. I will for sure be coming back here!“

“Great food, warm and welcoming staff.“

“Family owned and delicious Mediterranean food. Friendly service.“

“Wowoww 🥹🎀💗 the food was SO delicious I genuinely almost cried 😭✨ The salmon & tuna avocado were absolute perfection, and the gyozaaaaa 🥟💞 literally obsessed. And the butterfly pea yuzu lemonade?? So pretty and refreshing 🦋🍋💙 Everything was perfect 🩵🩵🩵 already dreaming about ordering from tora 🎀✨“

“Great Food and Service Fun Atmosphere !“

“Everything was great! The lamb chops are fantastic!“

“Farm to people offered CSA quality produce and so much more in their first delivery to me. I ordered a produce box and a fruit box, plus proteins and everything was super fresh, minimally packaged and flavorful. I love the option of being able to switch out items in your produce box subscription. I spent here about 2/3 of what I would spend in the grocery stores on Manhattan. I'm looking forward to my next box already.“

“Lovely and warm friendly service just stopped for a drink.“

“I love the pizza here, especially on weekends. If I go mid week sometimes it’s not as good.

The service is a bit of a problem for me. While I like going, I frequently feel talked down to by the young women hosting/serving there. There is very little effort put into explaining the menu. I don’t drink, and I see a visible annoyance when we return the drink menu without an order. The person serving me food and pouring water is often a brown busboy. At this rate, I’d rather just put in my order myself. (I hope they tip out to the busboys and back of the house!)

The other day, for a very important occasion w a reservation & note, they made us wait 30 minutes, no apologies and nothing to make up for the wait. I used to go quite often and now feel weird about going.

The atmosphere is confusing. It’s super beautiful inside but the acoustics make it a bit hellish. Some of the worst people of the area get together, screaming loudly, or even talking- and you can’t hear yourself think. But that’s not rly the restaurants fault!“

“Had a pasta and pizza and they were both amazing. We are from Australia and found it hard to find a good restaurant in the Marina bay sands area and this did not disappoint. 5 stars“

“One word DIABLO !!!🙏❤️ Frost Beer was ice cold !!!“

“When I walked in the restaurant the delicious aromas let me know I made a good choice. The food was absolutely amazing with vegan/vegetarian options and even a complimentary gluten free appetizer. The staff was welcoming and the service great. The prices were reasonable, but the best part was the delicious food!!“

“best truffle fries and yummy sauces for the burgers. Great people i will come back to this place with more friends“

“The soups and quinoa falafel 🥙 are out of this world . Mouth waters just thinking about next time I will be eating these items“

“This is a very local restaurant.
It doesn't have fancy decor, nor does it serve mind-blowing dishes with flavors you can't find anywhere else.
However, their food is very wholesome and down-to-earth, without the heavy oils or excessive salt used to aggressively hook a customer's palate.
The prices are also very affordable—I imagine people working nearby frequent this place often.
I'm a delivery truck driver, and whenever I pass through this area, I make sure to stop by.
The elderly owner is Taiwanese and extremely kind, and they also employ some Spanish staff. The overall work atmosphere is wonderful, and I'm certain the owner treats them very well. Dining here gives you a sense of peace that you just can't find anywhere else.
You shouldn't go out of your way just to eat here, but if you happen to be passing by, you definitely have to drop in and check it out.“

“Did know what to expect but everything was absolutely delicious. I got the Baba Bowl and added avocado and the apple bottom drink was yummy!“

“great wait staff.. even better food“

“I’d like to start off this review by saying that I am a Latina woman, who has been to Pokito many times and been treated with nothing but kindness and respect - as such, I felt the responsibility to share my personal experience here having read another review below.

This past Friday evening, my sister and I stopped by Pokito for a drink after a concert. We sat up at the bar, and they were quite crowded but to be expected for a Friday night. Unfortunately, there was a super loud group sat at a table behind us that was making it difficult for my sister and I to hear the bartender, or eachother. Having lived in NYC for five plus years now, I’m no stranger to a loud bar - but this was over the top.

At one point, someone screamed so loud that it startled my sister and I, and we turned to look over our shoulders to see what was going on - It had escalated to the point that my sister and I couldn’t have a conversation a few inches from each other because this group was yelling so loudly. At one point we made eye contact with the loudest person at the table - their review says they apologized to other bar patrons for their noisiness, but they certainly didn’t apologize or acknowledge their behavior to us.

So we felt relief when management asked the group to quiet down. We thanked the bartender for helping make the environment more comfortable so we could carry on our conversations together. Turns out, the bartender was Latino (like my sister and I), so we chatted for a bit. The manager was also behind the bar, who also identifies as a person of color, and was nothing but kind and lovely.

At one point, as the noisy group were leaving, one of them came up to the bartender and had what looked to be a defensive conversation. My sister and I didn’t engage, but I did check reviews because it seemed like they were heated - so when I found their review below claiming that their treatment felt discriminatory, I felt compelled to share my experience as well.

As a Latina woman, I’m all too aware that we live in a world where discrimination runs rampant, and I will be the first to come to someone’s defense. That said, I can wholeheartedly say that this was NOT the case at Pokito when the loud group was kindly asked to leave. It’s a very dangerous and loaded accusation to suggest that a business owner - let alone another bipoc person - is somehow prejudiced towards their customers. After my discussion with the bartender and management, I see them as very fair and warm people, who seek to create a comfortable and welcoming experience for all of their guests.

So long story short - if you are a person of color considering going to Pokito, I would like to reassure you that you will be treated with nothing but kindness and respect by staff (of whom many are also people of color!). That said, if you are loud / inconsiderate/ drunk / obnoxious and infringe on others’ experiences at Pokito, then management may exercise their right to ask you to be respectful for the sake of other guests :)“

“Experimentar o Amaro é uma experiência divertida!“

“Ruth was so nice to me and my friends,the poke bowls here strike that rare balance between generous and fresh — the tuna practically glistens, cut into thick, clean cubes that taste like they were swimming that morning, while the salmon has a buttery richness that holds its own against the tangy ponzu drizzle. Build-your-own bowls are a joy rather than a chore: the rice is properly seasoned (not an afterthought), the mango and edamame add real brightness, and the crispy garlic and furikake toppings earn their place instead of feeling like filler. Portions are big enough to leave you satisfied without the heavy, sluggish feeling you get from a lot of quick-service lunch spots, and the prices feel fair for the quality of fish you're getting. My only gripe is the seating — a handful of cramped stools near the window — but honestly, this place is worth getting as takeout and eating somewhere with a view. It's become my go-to for a fast lunch that still feels like a treat.“

“My food was delicious. I had the 60/40 and fries. The space is cozy and positive. It’s perfect for takeout, but there are a few seats and a counter available inside. Ordering is simple; just use the tablet on the wall. I can’t wait to try new things when I’m in town again! 🍔❤ It was a nice difference compared to what I usually find in Phoenix, AZ. The attendant was very polite and patient with me. I was extremely jet-lagged.“

“Great craft beers. Loved everything we tasted.“

“Favorite restaurant, delicious food, sublime wine, amazing chefs Robbie & Sam , friendly and welcoming owners, Clement & Simone go above and beyond to make your experience of their gem of a restaurant simply the best! Love this treasure in our neighborhood, make your reservation and try as much as you can on the menu, every mouthful is just wonderful!!“

“Best Pizza Ever!!! Went today for the 1st time and was amazed. Must try!! I ate there…was so good, I had to get a few slices to go.“

“I cannot say enough good things about my experience at this restaurant. The food was spectacular. I will dream about it. Service was prompt and polite. Best middle eastern food I have had in a long time. If you are in the area, you must stop by. It’s worth it!“

“I love love love when I leave a restaurant and think… wow I was truly taken care of. But it’s not often I feel obligated to write a review. Start to finish, Lily was attentive, warm, knowledgeable of the menu and sincere. I can’t wait to come back.“

“This place is a must-go when you visit NYC! The atmosphere is beautiful and peaceful, and the hands-on sushi experience makes it so much fun. You get to create your own hand rolls and experiment with different flavors and seasonings. It’s such a unique and delicious experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Love Fausto! Came on a double date recently and we were so happy with the experience. The food is really high quality (save space for the olive cake!), the ambiance is great, and you can just be sure you'll have a consistently delicious meal. Love having them in the neighborhood.“

“Great food and customer service. Try their breakfast sandwiches. The brioche is amazing!“

“Very nice location and layout is very welcoming with a lot of outdoor and indoor seating. Quick and friendly staff.

The ricotta starter was amazing with a great balance of flavors.
The Pancakes were beautiful but very dense so didn’t hit the mark for me with the wet gooey texture and large size.
Hash browns were great“
