Great spot on the boardwalk to grab a. Coffee or a smoothie when you're out and about. Tasty and simple food items. The staff is friendly and accommodating to all. We tried their ricotta toast with figs and honey basil and it was delish their egg muffin is also tasty. The mango cashew basil smoothie and the watermelon juice are sooo good. Fun vibe of people centered up front. Give it a go!!

Mango banana smoothie

Convenient, good/healthy product and nice staff. I got the split pea hummus on a beautiful piece of toast and a banana mango smoothie made with oat milk. Delicious! Cost for this was $17 & that's expensive for one piece of toast with a fancy smear. However, I'd get it again next time I'm at the beach. It was yummy.

A-faux-cado toast and fried egg

Not enough good things to say about this place, which is bringing so much to the community and Rockaway Beach scene by slinging, healthy, vegan-friendly options on the boardwalk. The staff is super friendly and amazing. The food is fresh and delicious, and service is wonderful. I look forward to every visit!

Buyer beware: in an effort to reduce plastic you will not get a lid or straw with your drink order. Honestly, I didn't mind although it was difficult to maneuver an iced drink without spilling it. This place is a convenient boardwalk pit stop and I can see why since one would have to walk (or shuttle?) more than 20 blocks for all the eateries. My friend and I took the glorious ferry ride to the beach today and we stayed in the 108 Street vicinity but not without getting a beverage at Brothers. I went with an iced Lavendar chamomile tea (caffeine free), while my friend selected a plain cup of hot joe. Didn't try anything else but they serve food (different line) as well as baked goods. Hey, it worked for us and no complaints.

Hanging out @ Rockaway Beach and in need of a meal or snack or refreshing drink? Let the friendly staff @ Brothers Rockaway quench your thirst/hunger. My recommendations: _ EGG SANDWICH ($9) = Eggs were a bit runny but sprouts & pesto were delish! Made fresh per order; they use organic eggs. _ Mango Cashew Basil Smoothie ($10) = Tasty and fresh! Basil with mango, whodathunk it? Highly recommended, will return.

This place is so tiny that you might miss it. It is on the side of Caracas Rockaway with a small sign. It was a warm summer day and I needed a nice cool drink. I got a Chai gear smoothie, it was sweetened by dates. Delicious! Nice and thick! They offer sandwiches and limited offerings for breakfast. Great service! It's decently priced as well.

Great morning breakfast on the boardwalk!! With extremely limited vegan options in the area, this place is heaven sent! The almond butter toast is amazing! Looking forward to try the granola with cashew milk soon. My mom also got the pesto egg sandwich which was delicious, she loved it!

Fresh healthy food on the Rockaway boardwalk from guys who know their hospitality !

Me and my mom came here and honestly we were pretty disappointed with the food and service overall…read more The atmosphere is casual but more on the side of polished casual. Its very lively. We started with the lobster mac and cheese, and it was just okay. Maybe a 4/10 at best. It was a loose mac and cheese and very cheesy but lacked an appropriate amount of salt. It wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't anything I'd go back for. Now the crispy tuna rice, SO GOOD! 10/10. That was easily the standout of my meal. The tuna was the fresh and firm, the crispy rice was crispy throughout, the soy sauce glaze was perfect. The whole thing just worked. Out of everything we ordered, this was the one thing I would absolutely get again. We also got the crab pasta, and this was probably the biggest disappointment. It was very bland and seriously lacked seasoning. The portions were also... off. By off, I mean small. My mother had received a bigger portion of pasta than me. When we pointed it out to the server, they mentioned that my mother got an inappropriate portion, meaning that hers was bigger then it was suppose to be. For the price, I expected more. The service didn't really help either. The wait staff was pretty dry, and overall the experience just felt a little underwhelming. Even the drinks were hit-or-miss. The coffee martini was actually really good, but just a heads up, it is on the sweeter side and apparently comes from a box/pre-made. I personally liked it, but if you don't like a sweet coffee martini, this is probably not going to be for you. We ended with the skillet cookie and ice cream, which was a nice way to finish, but by that point we were still pretty disappointed with the overall meal and dining experience. What really validated our experience, though, was hearing the table next to us say pretty much the same thing about their food. So it wasn't just us. The food overall felt lackluster, the preparation left a lot to be desired, and seasoning was definitely an issue across most of what we ordered. I would soley come back for the crispy tuna rice. Everything else? Definitely leaves much to be desired.

This place is a hidden gem, literally HIDDEN…read more Parking is almost impossible, but on this quiet night we were able to score a parking spot(s) Inside, great views, awesome place. Drinks were better than fine. Service was attentive. Food was excellent- apps: we grilled octopus- really good; mussels also really good. Entree - most of our group of six had a cod special that was a big hit. Others had the Chef's Bolognese, and I had a (massive) Veal Chop - all got rave reviews. A little bit pricey - but where isn't it these days. So bottom liked this place a lot - not sure I'll come from Memorial Day to Labor Day because of the parking and how busy it gets - I assume it'll be - but man, I'll certainly be back.

I was so excited to find this place and couldn't wait to give it a try, but unfortunately, it was a…read moredisappointing experience. The biggest issue was the raw oysters. Two of them were clearly not fresh. I asked the waitress to replace them, and she called the owner over. I explained that I had gotten sick from eating a bad oyster before and was concerned about the freshness. He took the tray away and said, "Then you shouldn't order oysters." That response was rude and unprofessional. At that point, I should have canceled the rest of my order. We also ordered two pasta dishes. The Squid Ink Linguine was just okay--nothing memorable. The Spicy Sausage Gramigna was disappointing because it was supposed to include broccoli rabe, but there wasn't any in the dish. Overall, the poor quality of the oysters and the owner's dismissive attitude made for a very disappointing dining experience.

I cannot believe I've been living down the street for almost 6 years and just tried this place…read morerecently! Impressed! First it is on 116th so it can be hectic to find parking, especially in the summer but there is the municipal lot, metered parking and of course...the train station. Hence the name I would assume. It's really does have a small town feel when you are inside. Nothing fancy but just some nice folks working hard. Due to location there are some characters that frequent and stop by here, the bus stop is literally right in front of the establishment. I went for brunch and ate outside because of COVID. I was weary because how busy the area is but no one bothers you! I recommend the fries! They were so crispy and well seasoned. Coffee was okay and the young lady with the beautiful curly hair was super sweet and attentive despite how busy they were. My friend enjoyed her western omelette and my burger was pretty good too. Prices are great if I may add. Overall? I would definitely come back again and try some more wraps and breakfast items.

Huh?! Why such a low rating? My husband and I have been to this "diner" twice before heading to the…read morebeach, and both times the food was delicious. Also, the service is always very fast and friendly. We will continue to come back. Know before you go - This establishment is NOT cash only as some have claimed.

Great sandwiches and early morning bagels! Friendly staff too. Very convenient place to grab food…read morefor beach-goers walking from the Ferry terminal & train to the boardwalk. Staff is friendly and they have a small outdoor seating area to enjoy the beach scene and get some sun with your food. This is pretty much the one thing that sets this place apart from any other local spot. If you're in Rockaway and need a bite to eat this is honestly the place. They get you your food quickly and their bagels and sandwiches cant compete with anyones for flavor, texture and cost. Amazing and amazing value. Came and got a chicken parm and it was one of the best chicken parms i had in a long time. Prices were a little steep, but thats normal considering you right by the beach. The chicken cutlet was cooked to perfection and very crispy. Which i enjoyed. I also added garlic bread that made the sandwich 10x's better. If you in the area i highly recommend this place. Do yourself a favor and get your food here then getting it at the beach. The food is way better and cheaper. Overall this is a great deli putting out great sandwiches and bagels for breakfast.

Just attended oyster fest (9/28/24) hosted here. Pretty much a scam and it's the organizers…read moreintention, not the fault of the staff. Staff were super nice and tried their best despite the situation. Tickets were $65 per person and the advertisement promised unlimited oysters and Heineken silvers from 3-5 pm (while supplies last). For the price, a reasonable person would expect as many oysters as they can eat plus flowing beers. It quickly became apparent that was untrue. Three oysters were served every 10-20 minutes. Only one type of oyster (Blue Island, the sponsor). The shuckers were working hard but the management tried to stretch their supply of oysters as much as possible to have people eat as few oysters as possible in the two hours. I counted the oysters I got in the entire agonizing two hours- 24 oysters and 6 clams. Why clams? They ran out of oysters and someone brought in a bag of clams to fill the last half hour. Mind you, most of the oysters served were tiny, skinny, and sometimes full of shell shards. Beers ran towards the end too. 24 oysters for $65 and a two hour wait.... We ended up ordering the Roadhouse nachos but the brisket looks fantastic. The brisket in the nachos was good but probably won't recommend because the nachos were very bean dominated. tl;dr don't trust them with food events. Pros: nice staff, nice bathrooms and sinks, nice bar atmosphere, brisket looks and tastes good, oysters tasted good, cocktail sauce was yummy Cons: oyster fest was a scam and total waste of both money and time, you were served three skinny oysters every 15 minutes, not "unlimited" as advertised. Previous oyster fests allowed customers to freely get oysters. The angry male staff member with a baseball cap went around grumpily telling people to sit down when they were trying to order from the bar or take pictures of the oysters.
