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!“

We can’t wait to come back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for exceptional food and outstanding hospitality!“

“I really enjoy the food here. I always order takeout from the app and they never disappoint. The white rice and arrow con gandules is authentic and official. Thier pink beans with the squash, gives it that puerto rican sabor. The chicken is flavorful and their skirt steak is on the money. The salmon is delicious and their potatoe salad is just like grandma's 👍🏽. The service is excellent and the food is always fresh. They're a little pricey, but absolutely worth it.“

“Flew from LA to New Jersey and this was the first food place we had. It is sooo good we came back the next day after 😂 shout out to Ashley, shout out Vanessa, Shout out to Jose. Shout out Gerald. They’re incredible people and treated our team like family. The place is clean. They have free dog treats. They have little activities at the tables. They have good music. They have books and accessories. And the food is a little too good!!10/10 recommend 🙏🏾“

“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!“

“Small cuchifrito perfect spot. The personal with carne de res frita is amazing. Their passion fruit juice is spot on! They just need to not work with uber anymore. Tostones are better when they come out the fryer and uber take ion years to deliver making the food taste awful.“
