Restaurants in Whitestone

“I’ve been coming here since I was 10 years old, 24 years to be exact now, place gets better and better. Very home feel to the shop. A real staple in the community. Lovely family. If you want quality Italian food in Queens/NYC this is where you come to.”

“I stopped by before work and was really impressed. The cold brew was fantastic, very smooth, rich, and easy to drink without any bitterness. It’s the kind of coffee that stands well on its own and makes you want to savor every sip.

I also love that they’re open early, which makes it a convenient stop on my morning commute. Finding a great coffee shop that’s open when you actually need it can be surprisingly difficult, so this is a huge plus. I’ll definitely be stopping by more often and look forward to trying more of their coffee offerings.”

“We had a family party yesterday. We all can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Food was large portions and very delicious. Desserts incredible. Service was always there taking care of us.”

“My son and I went here after I did my research to find the best delis in Hell’s Kitchen, and this was consistently the top answer. We had limited time in NYC, so every place we visited had to count, and Sergimmo’s did not disappoint. I had a Caesar salad, while my son had a Pasta al Pomodoro e Basilico. Both were great, and so was the shop owner’s treatment of us, obviously not from around the area. Next time we’re in NYC, we’ll be back!”

“I used to get chicken from the a flushing location, but this one is more convenient for me. I love that it’s not just chicken burgers. I can’t eat carbs anymore, but sometimes I’m craving fried chicken. I love their fried chicken wings and drumettes. It’s so flavorful. They definitely use a bit of curry powder for seasoning. I get the mild. Their spicy can get very spicy for me. Next time I will try the roast wings or whole chicken. It’s well seasoned, chicken is crunchy, and the value for the money I paid is great! This is not really a sit down place. You can but it’s fairly no frills. Best for takeout and delivery. It’s a mom and pop shop so happy to help out. Also, the chicken isn’t overly salted like Popeyes. Good for a fried chicken fix without raising my blood pressure :)”

“On behalf of The Center for the Women of New York, I want to extend our sincere gratitude to Empire Kitchen for their ongoing generosity and support of our Taste of the World at Fort Totten gala. Once again, they donated their delicious vegetable lo mein, which has become a beloved favorite at our event.

The lo mein was perfectly prepared—tender noodles tossed with fresh, crisp vegetables in a savory sauce that was both light and full of flavor. It’s always a crowd-pleaser, and this year was no exception. Our guests eagerly enjoyed every bite, and many commented on how much they look forward to Empire Kitchen’s contribution each year.

We deeply appreciate Empire Kitchen’s continued commitment to giving back to the community. It’s because of dedicated local businesses like theirs that we can raise essential funds to support women across New York. Their reliable support makes a meaningful difference, and it’s why we’re proud to highlight and recommend them.

Thank you, Empire Kitchen, for your kindness, consistency, and outstanding food. We’re already looking forward to next year!”

“Very good coffee and donut for the holiday season very good place”

“I really like this place, the food is very good. I like the beef sandwich. The NYU sandwich is delicious, and I love their smoothies. My favorite is the Summer Slam, but the Mr. Berry is good too, and my favorite juice is the Villager Juice. I love everything... and the guys are very friendly.”

“I just moved back to Flushing and am looking forward to visiting Patsy's! My friends love it!”

“Anna and Jing are the best! BLT is my sandwich of choice. The bacon aroma as you enter the store stirs up your appetite. Hard working ladies run this business. Delicious sandwiches.”

“The ladies in the morning are always pleasant. My mobile orders are 99% correct and everything is made on time. No complaints.
If I was someone that wanted to sit and stay in a dunkin for a few hours this one has limited seating and is rather small so I'd go to a different one (There's one a block a away and one in the village). Parking can be rough at times.”

“Uber Eats Fast warm delivery and fresh ...”

“Just eat the pizza! Sooooo good!”

“I Love Heath Kitchen the food is the best Love There Customer Service and there Unique”

“I had a great experience at Shake ’N Swirl. My daughter absolutely loves this place, and it’s quickly become one of our favorites.

The prices are very affordable, especially for the quality and variety they offer. The place is clean, well organized, and has a fun, colorful atmosphere that makes it enjoyable for families.

The service was excellent—everyone was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. You can tell they care about their customers.

Another big plus is the parking—there’s plenty of space, and it’s very easy to access the location.

Overall, a great spot for ice cream and treats. Highly recommend, especially if you’re going with kids!”

“Cherry Valley Deli & Grill in Whitestone is a true gem! After visiting several times, I can say their insanely large selection of heroes and sandwiches is unmatched. They’ve got all the classics plus some wild, creative combinations that somehow all work—and taste amazing. From the Con Ed hero to the FDNY, everything has been spot-on, and the best part is they’ll let you customize your order just how you like it. Always a delicious experience!”

“Tradition for us to get buy one get one sundaes on Wednesday! A staple in our community and a go-to spot for ice cream cake. Nice that they have parking in the back too”

“Peggy knows how to pick great places to eat!”

Amazing honesty with such manners all through the process and a follow up call. Thank you all you guys are amazing. I will continue to do business with you from now on. This was my very first order”
