Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich
Narges N.

Stopped in here for a quick bite before starting our day as the menu has a little bit of everything, which makes it an easy spot whether you're craving breakfast food or a classic diner-style meal. Service was quick and friendly, which honestly was the highlight of the dining. The sandwiches we got were very dry and not good. The grilled chicken was so chewy it was almost inedible. Also, do not get the ranch it's not very good. Overall, the staff was incredible and I would definitely be open to coming back and trying something else next time

Cheeseburger with Bacon and Fries.
Cindy Z.

While in the area trying to kill time, we decided to grab brunch with an outdoor dining since we had our pup with us. Even though their outdoor patio wasn't setup, there was a single table outside on the corner, which they ended up allowing us to sit at. Once we sat down, the waitress was quick to bring us utensils and menus. Not only did she bring us water, she also brought ice and water for my dog --this was so generous for her to be so accommodating. For food, I ordered the Breakfast Burrito ($17) while the boyfriend had the Cheeseburger ($16) with Bacon (+$3). Our food came out quickly and they both also came with potato sides. The fries were super crispy and tasty, but the home fries were just ok. Overall, the food is mediocre here --nothing to run home about. But what stood out to me here is the service with our waiter specifically. She was so helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of the entire time, so extra star for that.

This is definitely a good place for a Friday night happy hour! I came here with my mom and it definitely hit the spot. They changed up the menu and everything but thank god we were still able to get a burger and drinks. Our first round were frozen margaritas and the second round I got a mojito and my mom got a margarita. We always share the Mexican burger since it is massive and it comes with fries; my mom prefers the sweet potato ones. The serve is always good. The girls are always attentive and super nice! That always helps. Both our rounds of drinks came right away and the burger was delicious. Definitely coming here again soon!

I loved this place!! DJ playing with music videos on the screen. Classic Colombian food. Perfect spot for a large group of friends or a date night. The service was excellent! I 100% recommend this place

Chicken burrito
Stephanie T.

I stopped by this cafe for a quick bite. The menu has Colombian and Mexican food options. I ate the chicken burrito which was standard, nothing too special. My sister had the chorizo arepa which was ok. The chorizo had bits that were a little too burnt on some sides. However, the waiter was nice. The restaurant did get a little hot and they did not turn on the AC. They only opened the door which only helped slightly.

I remember this place being lite bites. There's different staff it seems. Their coffee is pretty good. I love the jar my apple juice came in. It's a great place to eat while you're waiting for your cat to be done at the vet office. The inside changed and now they have booths with cool white marble. Theres also a TV on the outterside of the restaurant. I was digging the fact they had music blasting during their morning breakfast rush (adels new album) , it really wakes you up besides the coffee. Our waitress was very nice. We didn't feel like we had to grab their attention they were very on point. ::BathRoom Alert:: Very clean bathroom. The toilet is clean and its one stall. It is unisex. I loved the bright mirror that they have. They have typical hand soap. Let's get to the cost, it's cheaper prices if you're on a budget. It was $23 for two people. I got a Bacon, Egg & cheese. My significant other got egg white wrap with home fries and a coffee. They gave me an apple juice and it tasted a little funny but then again it could have just been my taste buds because I was chewing gum right before. There's a lot of items to choose from and it feels like a mom and pop cafe. For people who don't like the cold I don't recommend you sit in the window area if you get cold easy. I personally love the cold so I was sitting there in a t-shirt and jeans. It only took them 15 mins to bring the food to the table. Very happy with our visit here.

I stumbled upon Gramercy Caf3 as I was out shopping along Steinway Street in Astoria today. The restaurant is located on the busy corner of Steinway and Broadway. I believe they just opened this week. Inside, you can see that it is not a very large restaurant. Most of the tables are compact in size and some of the tables are placed close together. It's a nicely lit restaurant with windows on either side. When I dined there today, I noticed that it got quite noisy. And was amazed that all the food is made from a small flattop near the bar. There is one family bathroom located in the back. At the front of the restaurant are the drinks and some desserts that can be purchased to go. The menu is really large and boast of typical diner fare. With a mish mash of Greek, Italian and Mexican options. I ordered the fish tacos and a side of fries. The fish in the tacos, I think, were the kind that are frozen and premade but otherwise were great. The fish was cooked nicely and was crunchy and flaky. The pineapple salsa and cilantro on top was a nice added touch and gave it great flavor. And the French fries were delicious. So simple but done very well. It was golden brown, crispy and wasn't too salty. On my way out I also picked up a cup of what I thought was tiramisu, but It turns out it was flan. The cups did not have any labels or anything on it. I thought the flan tasted pretty good. Generally, flan tastes very sweet and usually has some kind of caramel topping. This instead had raisins and was not as creamy in texture. Still, it was pretty tasty. Overall, the food and service were good. Everything was cooked properly, and they kept refilling my cup of coffee. They are one of the few restaurants in Astoria that is open 24/7, I think most of them are also diners. If you are looking for a no-frills, quick, casual place to eat, then this is the place for you.

Breakfast quesadilla and lumberjack pancakes
Elizabeth A.

Solid diner spot on Steinway. Floor to ceiling windows were so nice in the morning. They seated us very quickly despite being very busy on a Sunday. Reasonably priced platters, sides and deli sandwiches. Surprisingly big portions. Service: Very friendly and attentive. And Great music. Will come back.

It's the kind of dark hole where a man can sit and let the hours bleed out without anyone asking too many questions. ​Her guido friend is sitting across from me. A wild bastard, a criminal type who's raised his share of hell and walked away laughing. A guy's guy. He likes me, I like him because we speak the same language, the language of men who have taken a few hits and know how to hit back. I'm the tall classy type, hes the short booming vouce you hear from miles away. He's drinking bourbon, cheap heat to burn out the cobwebs. I've got rye in my shot glass, sharp and bitey. To wash it all down, a pair of Narragansetts sitting on the scarred wood like two cold anchors. ​She's sitting there sipping some fancy "Sweater Weather Sangria" out of a stemless glass, sweet and red, watching the candlelight flicker off the condensation, listeningto our conversation. ​Over in the corner, there's a wall built entirely out of wine bottles, rows upon rows stacked in the shadows behind glass like a monument to every drunk who ever lived. Someone mentioned absinthe, or maybe it was just the gloom making things warp at the edges, the kind of green-tinted haze that brings the hallucinations on if you stay too long. But we aren't leaving yet. We throw back the shots, take a pull of the beer, and let the room buzz around us. It's a good night. A rare one.

Every bite had a little bit of everything - sweet, savory, crunchy and a bit smoky all at once. The tacos were topped with red onion, plantain crunch, cabbage, pickled jalapeño, and chipotle mango.

The premise is simple: there is a burger for everyone, so eat well and eat everything. (#1) They've done a good job with the place, making so that seating is comfortable and functional while keeping the vibe casual. Their open space allows for a lot of natural light, which makes this an easy lunch destination or delivery option. The staff is active and young, constantly fielding orders from all directions. Their variety of burgers is second to none. From smashburgers to breakfast burgers and to heartier patties. I prefer a double patty with cheese and bacon with a healthy heap of fries. On the days ai feel indulgent, id combine it with a shake. Try a fry, eat some wings, and explore the different types of burgers thet have to offer. While most of the things feel pricey, know is the portions are on point.

It's a pretty nice sports bar with large TV screens throughout the place so will definitely be on my list of places to hit up to watch a few games! Overall food and service was on point, but also it was a random weeknight where there wasn't a crowd. Either way, recommend this bar if you're looking to grab a bite or watch a game! Classic Waygu Burger - 4/5 Great tasting and juicy burger, but one thing I wish was included was a side of fries at bare minimum. Cook of the meat was on point Disco Fries - 5/5 - Think of it as poutine but with mozzarella instead. Great side dish to a burger

What to make of this place?…read more When we visited in September (at that time), a wanna-be sports bar had just taken over the Greek taverna Blue Sea Taverna (before that, two iterations of Akrotiri). Both Greek tavernas had failed or gone out of business. So we were curious to see what changes had been made. When we entered, we were initially confused because the seating, especially the lounge seating, did not create a sports bar vibe. Even adding a bunch of TVs did not give us that feel either. Instead, our initial impression was that they were trying to convert an old Greek taverna into a gastropub, similar to other well-known ones in the area. And I should also add we had not been following the local news about the controversy regarding their name association with a World War II fortified bunker that was blown up at the end of the Second World War, and only read about the controversy over their name after we left, and on social media. Apparently, the owner(s) were most likely unaware of its historical context when naming their establishment. So we did not factor that into this review. Upon entering the Wolf's Lair, the seating was that of a modified Mediterranean restaurant. We chose the comfy seating looking out towards 29th Street and 30th Avenue. It had been raining heavily, and so we were just glad to be inside. Because our initial impression was that we were in a Mediterranean gastropub, we ordered lamb chops with lemon potatoes. The waiter, who may have been one of the owners, informed us that this vegetable was not on the menu; however, when our chops arrived, as you can see from the photos, we were indeed served lemon potatoes. We got what we ordered, which made us happy, and the chops were cooked to perfection. As we usually do not drink alcohol, beverages were not factored into our review. However, there was one thing we found a little strange and creepy. When we left, one of the employees, presumably an owner, insisted on coming out to help take photos. This was a little off-putting. Nevertheless, we got some good shots. In writing this review, we spent a lot of time deliberating our experience at the Wolf's Lair. We focused on the restaurant, service, food quality, and atmosphere. While the overall experience was excellent, we did not find Wolf's Lair to have a sports-bar atmosphere, but rather a family-dining atmosphere. On the day we visited, there was hardly any action at the bar, and most of us seated were into the food, if nothing else, with one family having a birthday party for one of their children. Overall, we had a good experience. Whether we come back to see if the Wolf's Lair becomes an actual sports bar, well, that's another matter.

The place is LOUD albeit with good taste of retro, 90's music and not the modern trash that floods the radio waves so I can rock with that. Place is sized pretty well with an outside seating area and plenty of tables inside the albeit dimly lit bar/restaurant. Coming into the place I was greeted by a blonde woman who seemed to be a supervisor of the area. She directed me to a comfortable seating area and a server took my order afterwards. The place was relatively busy so the wait for my food was kind of in the long range, about maybe 15 minutes. I ordered Chicken & Waffles with Iced Tea and the food was definitely worth the wait. That chicken was so good, a bit on the crisp side but it's solid in taste. The Waffle had such an awesome texture with the right measure of powdered sugar, decorated with Blueberries and Strawberries, the entrée was plated very well. The Iced Tea, I didn't know it was unsweetened so that threw me off but some sugar kinda fixed that. Service was also 'A' Tier. The place was busy so it was a tad on the slow side but they were very attentive. About 3 different servers tended to me whether it was about my order, how I liked it and paying for the bill when I was finished. That's dedication and I always give props to that. I enjoyed my visit here.
