50 Best American Restaurants near Sea Cliff

“My best friend lives in Queens so she and I come to the Onion Tree every other Friday night. I wish this place was closer to me. I live in Yonkers. The food is superb, seasoned extraordinarily. The chicken is fresh, soft and cut into small bites. I always order chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, or chicken tikka pizza. I have never had food that I enjoyed this much and I have tried all foods all over the world. I never get tired of this place. And the food is served quickly and piping hot. They’re opening a second place in Manhattan. We’re getting closer to Yonkers!! The drinks are awesome too. Barbra and Louis work behind the bar. They’re friendly and great bartenders.“

“nice atmosphere different than most, food good too“

“What a hidden gem we found in this establishment!! Everything from the Bread to the Steaks to the mouth watering desserts were full of flavor and farm sourced! Atmosphere is perfect for a date night and was the perfect blend of intamicy and atmosphere!! We will return!!“

“If you're in the mood for some seriously delicious wings and a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere, look no further than K.C Gallaghers.

First off, the wings are out of this world. They’ve perfected the art of crispy, juicy wings with the best classic Buffalo. Every bite is packed with flavor, and you can tell they use quality ingredients — the wings are always fresh and perfectly cooked. Whether you like them mild or spicy, there's something for everyone, and the portions are generous, so you're definitely getting your money's worth.

What really sets this place apart, though, is the owner and the service. The owner (ED) is hands-on and genuinely cares about making every customer feel at home. He's always around chatting making sure everyone's having a great time, and you can tell he's passionate about what he does. The staff are equally friendly, attentive, and quick, so you never feel like you're waiting around for long. It’s clear they all work together as a team, and it makes for a smooth, enjoyable experience every time.

They’ve got a great selection of drinks to pair with those wings — a nice variety of craft beers, cocktails, and the usual pub fare.
If you're a wing lover, this place should be at the top of your list. On top of the wings - The food is fantastic, the service is top-notch, and the owner’s personal touch really makes you feel like you’re part of the community. Highly recommend it!“

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 came here on a wednesday night with my wife after a day of travelling and our waitress Nia was very helpful. My wife had some questions about the menu and Nia was very knowledgeable. We don't eat out often and Nia helped us understand the promotions on the menu. The drinks were strong and did not taste watered down. Overall I am very happy with this experience. This was a very filling and cost effective date.“

“Seating and food was great! They did give me my meat medium well which I asked for just medium, the cook did redo it for me and was very nice and professional about it. The only bad thing about it was the atmosphere which was a bit hot, especially when seated on leather seats and our server Jessie had bit of an attitude. I understand that being a server is tough but at least don’t take out your frustration on customers or have a bad face when serving. Didn’t feel comfortable asking for things from her.“

“First-time visit. Food was delicious and the bartender/server, Peter, was friendly and efficient. Observing other patrons, all seemed to be quite pleased. I’ll be back😊“

“Lamb special Chicken special Tuna Salmon pasta Impeccable service. Perfect evening“

“We actually never went to this location before, but had greatly enjoyed their prior second location in Port Washington. Expectaions were right on point. Food was excellent from appetizer to the main course. Maybe it's weird but I kind of respect even the small things like when a restaraunt offers to chose to serve in house brewed ice tea as opposed to something pre processed. The Brisket from todays specials list was perfect. This restaurant is 45min drive from home and well worth the trip. Thank You, we will be back.“

“I have been to The West End Cafe many times for dinner, but this was my first time for lunch. Although the menu was more limited there many fewer people there. It tends to be very noisy in the evening but was much quieter during lunch making it conducive for conversation.“

The craziest thing was my boyfriend and I would pass by there all the time not knowing about this restaurant until I went for my birthday. The experience was everything 💕I will definitely be coming back to try their delicious food.“

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

“Always a great experience at Seasons 52. The food is prepared so well and it's so nice that they have some feature meals that change with the seasons and take advantage of what produce are available. Our waiter was wonderful and attentive. The noise level was perfect and I chose it because my niece has hearing challenges and we can count on the perfect ambiance for an enjoyable evening.“

“I started off looking for “just a bar” and stumbled across Teddy’s. What I found was a modern interior with a pleasant staff that was willing to accommodate anything and everything. Oyster Bay is not the friendliest place for minorities but genuinely, I feel like I am home at Teddy’s. Thank you!“

“Great new family restaurant with fantastic vibes. Televisions everywhere. Great bar. Staff and owners create a family environment. We have been there twice in 1 week and they remembered us when we walked in the door the 2nd time. Rueben spring rolls were a must both trips as was the shepard's pie. Meals are huge! Prices are great.“

“During my recent visit to Forest Ave Grill, I found the establishment to be one of the most impeccably maintained delis I have audited. Cleanliness standards are consistently upheld throughout the premises, from the dining area to the self-service coffee station. The tables were spotless and neatly arranged, and the use of QR codes at each table for digital menu access and ordering reflects a thoughtful integration of convenience and modern customer service.

Staff members demonstrated exceptional professionalism and courtesy, contributing to an atmosphere that is both welcoming and service-oriented. The environment evokes a sense of comfort typically associated with upscale dining, which is notably impressive for a deli operation.

Overall, Forest Ave Grill delivers an outstanding customer experience, marked by cleanliness, attentiveness, and innovation. It stands out as a model of excellence in its category and sets a high benchmark for comparable establishments.“

“The food here is absolutely delicious! Also, the portion sizes are excellent given the consistently high quality of the food and the surprisingly low price that you pay for that quality. Oh, and the service was excellent too! All of our glasses were served chilled, and the staff were extremely attentive and responsive despite the language barrier between us (I wish I spoke better Spanish and Portuguese!)“
