Comfort Food Restaurants near Staten Island, NY

“Melt Shop in Staten Island Mall is amazing—pure comfort food heaven! Got the Classic Grilled Cheese (gooey American & cheddar perfection), a Crispy Chicken Melt with slaw, and loaded tots. Everything was hot, cheesy, and flavorful—melts are next-level. Service was quick and friendly despite the mall rush. Atmosphere is bright, casual, and fun—great quick spot while shopping. Highly recommend for anyone craving a killer grilled cheese!“

“Went in today for the first time. Had a buffalo chicken sandwich with fries, the tofu in peanut sauce, and they threw in a sample of an eggplant appetizer for free, which I appreciate. I really enjoyed everything I got, very much in fact. Just know that it is expensive, though a lot of vegan places are, so it's not like a unique criticism of this place in particular. I'll definitely be back.“

“I went yesterday and I’ll never order the steak there again but I’ll definitely recommend it to anyone. I have heart failure and I got sick on the steak. So it’s my fault not theirs. I really enjoyed the steak, sweet bananas and salad. The portions were average, it filled me up. I’m glad I didn’t order the larger bowls, I’d be overstuffed. My friend did though. I usually don’t like well done steak but this one was very well prepared. My husband and my friends also enjoyed the food. 4 of us went. The lady behind the counter was wonderful and very helpful. The place was crazy crowded but civil. The atmosphere was great. I loved the artificial palm tree. Definitely going again but going for lower sodium options like chicken next time. 100% recommend.“

“My first-time here and the customer service is great, the restaurant is clean and the menu has something for everyone. Food was decent but this was also my first time so I would like to try other dishes. The bowl i had needed more sauce because once its gone...no flavor and dry. The street corn was good and my favorite was the sparkling pear juice that I had two orders of.“

“The best ☝️☝️☝️“

“Had a lovely dining experience at Beefbar. We started with the crispy rice tuna tartare: tuna had a soft texture and was full of flavor. We shared a 10oz wagyu filet, wagyu bolognese, and truffle fries. Everything was delicious! Steak had a nice char, was tender, and cooked to a perfect medium rare. Pappardelle deserves a chefs kiss!!“

“1st time ordering from here. We tried the Cobb Salad to go. Owner ran out of Blue Cheese but asked if we wanted an alternate cheese. Was still delicious! Very fresh and tasty! Portion size was good. Owner was also very friendly. Even though Keansburg is desolate due to the season, this restaurant is still open and it's worth the trip to either eat in or order out from here. I recommend giving them a try if you haven't already.“

“Skinflnts is a pillar of the Bay Ridge neighborhood. Great food & service. The decorations for the holidays are amazing. The manager Freddie is very helpful.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Based on my experience there, I loved it but I’m hesitant to give five stars cause I only had the ribeye cheesesteak which may be one of the best cheesesteaks I’ve had out in NJ in all seriousness. Felt a little pricey but so does everything else these days. Even then, the cheesesteak was worth every cent. Highly recommended.“

“Our experience eating here was thoroughly enjoyable. We liked what we ordered though we've had better elsewhere. I found the experience outstanding. The entire workforce shows impressive capability. I'm ready to return at the first opportunity.“

“Chicken was delicious and facility clean“

“The owner or guy at the front was a pleasure to meet and clearly understands the benefit of eye contact and customer service. I ordered the cheese steak. The sandwich itself was juicy, flavorful and nice sized for the price. My issue is I wish they would wrap the sandwich in parchment paper cut in half and then wrap in the foil wrapper. The sandwich is juicy but sloppy and drips everywhere. If it were wrapped better you could enjoy the sandwich like a gentleman. Enjoyed overall and on another note I give this brother big respect. He employs all black men. And as one I love seeing that. Respect brother!“

“Wanted to try the empanadas from here, I got chicken & cheese and got my husband the beef empanada liked his way more because I wish I knew the CC empanada had more peppers than chicken & cheese 🤢 I never had a chicken empanada with peppers. But will just get beef or plain cheese next time !“
