We came for an early dinner and were one of the first dinner diners in the restaurant so it was quiet. The cornbread they provide for the table was delicious. The menu features Cajun-inspired dishes so get ready for a lot of meat, carbs and grease, which we were in the mood for. The menu isn't super vegetarian friendly but there are a few things that are available. Though be warned that the rice and beans side contains sausage, which we didn't realize. The lobster mac and cheese was so gooey and delicious. The truffle fries aren't on the menu but are available to order. The vibes are fun and they to emulate a New Orleans environment. Each napkin is wrapped in Mardi Gras beads. The service during peak hours is great. There are servers and dedicated bussers. read more

I wish I can giveBourbon Street 10 Stars. Why???? The food is amazing. Today I had a seafood con salad that was spectacular not only in presentation but in taste and quality of ingredients!!!!! The scallops and shrimp were cooked to perfection and the balance of ingredients were perfect. The service by our waitress Callie was tops. I wasn't sure which salad dressing to order so she brought me the two I wanted. The restaurant was spotless and even the bus- boy was on top of his game. Highly recommend this place for lunch and dinner!!!!! read more

What a standout, mega sized establishment that's been in the Bayside area since 1998. On one side of the main entrance there's a large bar area with hi-tops plus separate lounge seating. On the other side of the entrance there's a larger dining area. In addition, there's also a large rooftop bar to hangout during those warmer months. I love how the restaurants façade boasts an intricate wrought iron railing throughout, adding to that New Orleans flair. So far I've been here about four times and I've had great experiences during each. I've enjoyed their attentive service, welcoming atmosphere and decent food. If in or around the area I'd definitely pay Bourbon Street a visit again. read more

I attended the Mardi Gras festivities the late afternoon of 2/17/26 with another Yelp Elite. Great service from bartender Audrey. Her cocktails were strong. Cosmopolitan (5/5) Hurricane (5/5 with an extra shot of spicy rum) I am a very picky eater and enjoyed almost all the food here. We ordered appetizers from both the Mardi Gras and regular menu. The desserts were solely from the Mardi Gras menu. On Tuesdays, the appetizers are Buy One Get One Free My rating system: 1/5 = I didn't like it 2/5= It was mediocre 4/5= I liked it 5/5= I loved it Mardi Gras Menu: Shrimp and Grits (4/5) Short Rib Boudin (2/5) per my dining partner.

My family hosted a birthday party for our daughter at Bourbon Street earlier this year in the Magnolia South room. Overall, we had a good experience and would recommend Bourbon Street. Service It was very simple to reserve an event room and the team was easy to work with. We signed a straightforward contract and about a week prior we confirmed food options and headcount. We were allowed to decorate the space about 2 hours before the start of the event. Our team was helpful and accommodating. We had custom decorations and a dessert table (catered from another vendor) and we had zero issues. Food Our guests had many compliments for the chicken sliders and shrimp apps. The short ribs were also complimented! We had plenty and again, all went well. Great, longstanding spot. read more

I held a private party at Bourbon Street the staff were superb. From Ellen who helped in planning, to the servers (especially Kennedy and the Manager. It was a fantastic event in a private room. We choose to have a buffet. All the food was delicious. There were even left overs to take home. The ambience is upbeat and fun. I highly recommend Bourbon Street for dining or a private party. They are outstanding! read more

2/17/26. My cosmo was on point. Enjoyed the BBQ Shrimp, Shrimp/Grits and the tuna. I would pass on the short rib balls/boudin, cupcake and beignets though. Great place to be especially on Fat Tuesday! Audrey and Laura were great at the bar. read more

I don't often find myself in this part of Queens, but I stumbled across this Cajun spot and decided to give it a try on a Saturday night. I had reservations and was seated right away. The restaurant was comfortably full without being too loud, and I loved the New Orleans-inspired art that gives the space a fun, colorful vibe. The menu is extensive, and they also offer a solid lineup of daily specials. A lot of the dishes lean spicy, and they aren't able to adjust heat levels, which limited my options a bit -- but there was still plenty to choose from. Weekday specials stay consistent, while weekend specials rotate, and there were far more than just one or two. Service was mixed. The hostess and owner were very attentive, but our server disappeared for long stretches. At one point, another waiter brought bread to the table and I assumed he was our server -- he seemed a little put off when I asked him a question. Just a bit of an odd interaction. One thing I really liked: the bread basket. It came with a fun mix of breads : regular bread, cornbread, and a cheddar biscuit, plus a pecan butter that felt distinctly Southern and really unique. What threw me off a bit was how inconsistent the appetizer portions were. Some looked like true apps, while others were definitely entrée-sized. I ordered the mussels frites and it was absolutely an entrée; no sides needed, and I still didn't finish it. For the price, the portion was an excellent value -- honestly bigger than some of the main dishes I saw going out. The fries were great: super crispy, hot, and fluffy inside. My friend had the Mac Attack burger, which came with thick-cut bacon and warm mac and cheese on top. Definitely a beast of a burger. Overall, this spot has some quirks, but good food, great portions, and a nice atmosphere. I'd come back, especially to explore more of the specials. read more

Here's a mainstay on Bell Blvd. that's been serving reliable drink and food for many years. We went in recently and found that it's still a dependable local lunch or dinner spot. The Bandits old-fashioned was very tasty as was their margarita (and both under $17!). The bacon jam burger special was perfectly cooked (medium rare for me), with a fried egg on top and bacon jam was a wonderful blend of sweet and savory that elevated the dish, accompanied by fries that were crispy and hot. Their sweet chili salmon was fresh and had a very nice chili glaze. We topped it off with the (very large!) hot fudge ice cream sundae. Our waitress Sophia was very friendly and personable, and service was quick and efficient. The old-school bar vibe was fun, and I'm sure it's much more lively during dinnertime service. It's been here a long time, and continues to be a solid choice for locals. read more

Came here for brunch with my mom and gf. I give a 5/5 star for the service. Victoria was very sweet to us and attentive. Amazing service! We ordered 1 bottomless brunch and steak and eggs, beef sliders, and southern sweet hash and eggs. Steak and eggs were very solid and would get again, sliders were also very solid, souther sweet hash and eggs was very very very sweet. The pulled pork and sweet potatoes was not a great combination for me. Next time I will avoid this. I would like to try their Utopia burger Overall I would come back again for brunch. read more

I'd rate Bourbon Street three and a half stars. Huge bars. Tons of TVs on the ground level. Great spot to watch sports, especially if you're interested in multiple events. Around twenty beers on drafts. All macros but some good European options like Hofbrau, Delirium, and Weihenstephaner. Half liter of Hofbrau was competitively priced at $8. Small communal restrooms which might be a little too intimate for some. read more

On behalf of The Center for the Women of New York, I want to extend a huge thank you to Bourbon Street for their incredibly generous and delicious donation to our Taste of the World at Fort Totten gala. They provided a large tray of seafood jambalaya with cornbread that was an absolute showstopper. The jambalaya was packed with bold, authentic Creole flavor and plenty of fresh, tender seafood. The cornbread was moist, slightly sweet, and the perfect complement to the spicy, savory jambalaya. It was a true taste of New Orleans that transported our guests and left everyone thoroughly impressed. It is because of amazing local businesses like Bourbon Street that we are able to successfully raise vital funds for our mission of supporting women in the New York community. Their commitment to giving back shows a deep dedication to supporting the community they serve, and it is exactly why I make a point to support businesses that care. We highly recommend Bourbon Street for their outstanding Cajun Creole cuisine and their tremendous generosity. Thank you for your kindness and for making our event an unforgettable success. read more

The ambience was good until they served the food. Please don't get the avocado toast for their bottomless brunch. It was only a very thin spread of avocado and it's not even toast. They replaced the toast with two loafs of bread and even I could make a better avocado toast. read more

The food is very good. The menu has a lovely variety of selections. There is something to please everyone. I would definitely recommend enjoying lunch or dinner here in the restaurant. There is an elevator for you to get to the second floor ; I think there may be a short flight of stairs from the second floor in order to get to the rooftop. I'll let you know in a few months when we have our next luncheon. (I'll call them and ask, so I'll let you know soon LOL) For the last two years, (2023 and 2024) I have organized a small lunch gathering of about a dozen people from my high school graduating class. We have gotten together here, at BOURBON STREET IN BAYSIDE. The multi-storied restaurant is about a block away from the LIRR station, so it has been easy for me to commute from Manhattan. My fellow graduates who drive here from various locations, use the Municipal Parking Lot, located a few blocks away. Be sure to put money in meters, if you are using metered parking, whether on the street or in the municipal lot. BOURBON STREET STAFF have been very nice and accommodating. We really appreciate being able to have separate checks for our luncheon. In 2023 we enjoyed a rooftop luncheon. The rooftop is really fantastic because no matter the weather you can still enjoy a meal on the rooftop. There's a bar up there along with many tables in 2024. We enjoyed lunch inside on the second floor I enjoyed the food and the rooftop atmosphere. And the pleasant helpful service. More photos to come. read more

Usually I'm a fan of Bourbon, and I'll give them credit for the Knicks game making it busier than usual. We were a party of 5 at the rooftop and encountered several issues: 1. This seems to be a common problem regardless of how busy it is at Bourbon; they will either fill your water once and never come back again, or leave a pitcher for you to fill the water yourself and then not returning to fill the pitcher. It quickly depleted since there was 5 of us. 2. Our entrees came out before our appetizer. We were hoping to eat our wings before having our entree so that was slightly unfortunate. Also, they gave us the wrong amount of wings (although this point I won't be negative on because it was more food than anticipated). 3. One of the entrees arrived 15 minutes after all the other entrees arrived, which is a very annoying thing. We tend to wait for our food to all eat together, and it's not fair on our friend's part to get their food when we're all finished eating. 4. My chicken sammy was missing avocado when brought out. Our waitress was very attentive and nice, so that's why I didn't give this a one star review. Hoping for better experiences in the future. read more

I have been coming here for several years, I like it here, like the atmosphere. I've had most of their appetizers, clam chowder, lobster dinner I believe I like them all ok. I do have to say the last lobster I had it was quite messy it being a soft shell and the mussels were very very tiny, yet all tasted good. The waiters are friendly, peoplthe management come around sometimes make sure everything is good I wrote this review a few years ago and just now posting it ! :-/ read more

Bourbon Street - Chicken quesadilla YUM - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Bayside, New York

I got takeout from here yesterday because I worked late and let me just say how disgusting the so called blackened chicken quesadilla was way overpriced super small portion It was cold soggy, and definitely not blackened chicken as stated on the menu but was this very greasy fried chicken cut up and into small pieces And today I'm feeling so sick because of it plus it was the only thing I ate yesterday so I will never ever be returning to this place again. Be careful if you do decide to go here. read more

I am in town from South Florida. I am staying at the Adria Hotel and Conference Center around the corner. I woke up late and decided I wanted a steak. Most places, especially restaurants with steak were closed. Blair, the front desk receptionist, recommended that I come Bourbon Street because of the good food and atmosphere. When i first sat down, I had to wait a few minutes, but Gennaro, asked if I have been helped, and served me right away. Gennaro recommended the Ribeye. The ribeye came with a salad, mashed potatoes, and mixed vegetables. It wss amazing. Did I mention that the steak was 20 ounces! Wow! I couldn't finish half of it. I asked if they could cook my steak a little more and cut it in slices because I was staying in a hotel. They said, NO PROBLEM! I'm going to eat more in the middle of the night. Lol. If youre in Bayside, Queens, NY, this is a place you MUST visit. I will definitely come back. read more

Our server Summer was very efficient and had a really good vibe about her -- very professional! The espresso cheesecake was also a hit. We had a minor issue with the entree and the manager rectified the situation professionally and swiftly. Overall we had a great time and wish them much success in the new year!

This review is specifically for karaoke night on Mondays. This place has a great bar, atmosphere and dining. They go above and beyond hosting events. Unfortunately, Monday night karaoke ruins it. I've tried going on many Mondays this year. The karaoke vibes ruin it with the DJ being obviously coked out, screaming into the mic off key, which is supposed to be him singing. I haven't been here on a Monday night in such a long time specifically because of this. The music and mics have terrible sound quality. I've never heard any "professional" be this bad. Hopefully they get a real DJ for karaoke nights who isn't blatantly on drugs; One with a good personality whose voice doesn't sound like an animal being run over by a semi. read more

No complaints about this place. It was a beautiful Saturday so I made reservations for the rooftop. I ordered buffalo wings with French fries, as well as alcoholic drinks.

Bourbon Street is a staple on Bell Blvd. Going to be super honest with this one. I've been here plenty times over the years and I was never wowed by this spot. It was always a bit on the rowdy side and never really caught the scene if you will. It wasn't until the reception I went to last night did I see the potential. The staff was on point with the service. The spread was actually really well done and the room itself was a very nice size and didn't seem too "stuffy". I was very impressed with my visit and the event held at Bourbon Street without a doubt. My fav was the tomato-mozzarella skewers. All in all a good experience and made me want to come by to give it another shot. Maybe I'll be wow'd next time! read more

Bourbon Street is a neighborhood classic. It's a bit more family friendly and approachable than it looks from the outside. Their food is pretty good depending on what you order, I personally like their salmon with the side accompaniments and their blackened catfish and lobster roll. Their lobster mac and cheese is LEGIT. It's not authentic Cajun food, but Cajun inspired which doesn't apply for their whole menu which is large with a good variety to choose from for everyone. I would avoid the burger however, as it was the driest most tasteless one I've ever encountered (it could have been a one off but I won't risk it again), but their portions are HUGE and they are generous with their add on's which include a bag of various breads for their takeout and cocktail, fruit-cup and bagel/muffin basket when dining in for example. (I'm usually too stuffed to partake). The service was friendly and polite when we dined, they also had live music playing and there's rooftop seating as well with a bar for larger groups. If you're in the area, it's a nice place to check out and as a local we like to order take-out here fairly often as they also have good deals on Seamless every now and then as well. read more

This was the best experience we had at bourbon. The weather was perfect for the rooftop. The service was amazing last evening. Our waitress was very attentive and kind along with the rest of the staff. We were having such a good time we didn't even realize our food was taking awhile, yet the manager came over to apologize. We were fine with waiting. The ambiance was so nice! I highly recommend the rooftop seating if you get a chance! And the food was 10/10!!! As I said the best experience... read more

She whipped up an elite Espresso Martini with tequila and Baileys that was smooth, bold, and unforgettable. Kim's vibe set the tone for the entire experience.

This is a one star review. This place used to be good. Neighborhood staple.. Absolute trash now. I was recently there (today) for a PPV boxing event.. I was kicked out for no reason. This is what happens when your wait staff is a bunch of 17 yr old. A person I was with got a little rowdy and left under his own will ( Nobody asked him to leave). As I was sitting there watching the fight a bartender snatched my beer away and kicked me out after "the problem" left 10 mins earlier.. they said the entire group must be removed. I've been here a million times over the last 15 yrs and they can kiss my ass from here on out. read more

We came here for dinner on a Saturday night. The atmosphere makes you feel like you're in the middle of New Orleans. There is a beautiful painting in the back, jazzy decor, and the utensils/napkins are wrapped in throw beads. Service is quick, attentive, and smooth from the moment you enter to getting your leftovers boxed up. There was also a guy (maybe the manager or owner) going around checking in on everybody multiple times. The restaurant is somewhere between fancy and casual. A nice spot for a date, business meeting, or family gathering. The food was delicious; we got clams, calamari, and salad entrées. They bring you bread with a homemade maple spread before your appetizers. There is a rooftop lounge that opens around 10pm and if you eat dinner here then go upstairs you don't have to pay a cover to get in. I would've given this place 5 stars if my tip wasn't changed...I had given over 25% tip but someone still added a few cents to the amount I had signed for. read more
