“We took two of our kids here the other night, and it was amazing! The food has quality ingredients and every recipe is great. My favorites were the shrimp burger and Mac and cheese, but my kids both devoured the wings and fish! The Rasta pasta sauce is just right as are the yams. And as a refreshing, lighter peace of the flavor packed meal were the flavored limeades. We had peach and raspberry- so good! My husband pointed out that they would have been great as adult beverages as well! :). Pricing is more than fair. The service is friendly, welcoming and patient. We definitely recommend Gretel and Sons!“

“I experienced Nettie’s for the first time last evening. My dining experience was excellent from arrival to departure. 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!!!“

“Great well seasoned food.“

“Ate here several times. And have tried a myriad of items. The only thing I didn't like is that they pile everything into one box. So this last time ordering GrubHub I put in the comments to please seperate everything. IT WAS PERFECT. Thank you so much for separating all my items out!! Very good food have eaten the ox tails, pork ribs, lima beans, mashed taters, green beans, mac n cheese, chocolate cake (slice could have been bigger but it was good). And of course the cornbread is perfect.“

“Taste Of Seafood may be a small restaurant, but the flavor and service are top tier. The seafood was fresh, seasoned perfectly, and cooked just right. The atmosphere was welcoming and felt like a hidden gem in the community.

Sanaa, the hostess, made the experience even better with her great attitude, professionalism, and warm hospitality from the moment we walked in. She made sure everything was smooth and made us feel right at home.

If you’re looking for delicious seafood and excellent customer service, I highly recommend Taste Of Seafood. Make sure to ask for Sanaa and leave her a review too — she definitely deserves the recognition!“

“I have been going to this spot for over 25 years and until tonight n once before have not had a rude server. The young man working the window tonight 5/04/26 needs to be put in the back. He wanted to take my card as I placed my order n when I said how much is it he started adding in his head n when I said go pack n ring the order first he slammed the window. Then instead of telling me they had no wings or verifying my order he just packed it n showed me what he was gonna give me. Never spoke to me to say what he was doing. When he came for the card he still never said how much it was he just slammed the window again. When he was handing me everything I started to tell him look im a long time customer he never let me finish my sentence he just slammed the window again. Still the best chicken in queens... but this guy made me feel like if I come to the window n he is the server then I will just drive off n come back when hes not there. Im complaining becz this is not the first time he served me n it was the same the other time too.“

“My mother-in-law loves this place So we often order from here online. Today, I stopped in after work to pick up dinner. No in store seating,to eat there folks but The ladies who worked, there were lovely and helpful. the food thou! Down home cooking, always filling, good portion for a the price and REAL FOOD not fake processed garbage.“

“Place is very clean, the food does taste good, you only have to watch out for the amount you take it goes by weight. Overall, I like the food here, its buffet style most things are weighted by the pound.“

“I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service was equally impressive: attentive, friendly, and fast without being rushed. Highly recommend and definitely coming back!“

“came here twice already, after trying some other spots in the area, and this one is my favorite! the man who completed my orders both times was very nice and pretty generous with portions. really happy to found a place to go to when out on lunch break.“

“This is a compliant but I gave all 5 stars cause I love this place from young. Bought 6 spicy beef & 2 jerk chicken Pattie’s this morning (June 5th 2025). In this photo you see plastic. I bit this piece of plastic out of my patty, I thought it might’ve been some hard lettuce but yea it’s plastic.“

“I stopped looking for soup, because I wasn't feeling well. They did not have any, but they were kind enough to point me to another deli that had some (not that great), and I was thankful. I have to return here to support their business.“

“Hi, this was my first time here and the experience was cool. The food was good the worker were nice and the music and the atmosphere was chill. I would definitely come back.“

“Food was great we ordered the fry chicken with rice and peas and salad. We originally wanted B-B fry but there was none . We got mild beef , ackee , vegetable and chicken patties as well. They were a little small and needed some more filling but they were tasty.“
