    This is a pretty nice place for a date night! It is a little out of the way here in Northern Whitestone, but it is worth the trip. We had come here back when it was Ginger & Lemongrass, but the owners have reinvented G&L into Bun & Bone with a more European styled menu with many French & Belgian flavors mixed in with a few American regional cuisines. We tried the Grilled Octopus as an appetizer and it could have been better. I was hoping for it to be Greek style, but it lacked the charred smoky flavor. The accompanying greens and dressing were good, but the focus should have been the octopus tentacle. As a second appetizer, I was hoping the Chargrilled Oysters would be like the ones we had in New Orleans, but these really fell flat also. They were really tiny and as others have said, the gouda cheese topping really overpowered their delicate flavor. The burgers, as hinted in their name is where they shine. All the burgers are 8 oz Wagyu and B&B treats the premium beef right. This is not your average diner burger with toppings and cheese falling out all over the place. Each burger is perfectly grilled and painstakingly garnished into a work of culinary art. Our tasty Smoky & Spicy Burger was served on a wooden board accompanied by a steel cup of shoestring frites and tiny handled pots of ketchup and remoulade sauce for dipping. As a second entrée, we shared the Braised Beef Short Rib. The chef must have been braising it for days, because even though it was served whole on the bone on top of creamy garlic potato purée, I'll bet if I stared at it long enough, it would just fall apart. It was so tender and flavorful, that I barely had to use my knife, even on the tendon wrapped around the bone, which is my favorite part. The red wine braising liquid reduction drizzled over the potatoes with the frizzled onions and buttered baby carrots made this a heavy and delicious dish. Next time, maybe I'll skip over the appetizers and just dive right into trying all the other burgers. But then the Moules Frites looked pretty good also...

    New brasserie in Whitestone with solid food in a nice space. My husband and I came for a date and had a good time. The menu has something for everyone from mussels, duck, burgers, salads and dessert. We had the white bean soup to start, my husband had the duck which was really delicious and I had the mushroom truffle burger. We split a side of brussel sprouts and We ended the meal with cappuccino and fennel panna cotta. Everyone was presented well and tasted good. We will definitely be back to try more items!

    Restaurant serving fancy dishes with focus on quality ingredients like wagyu. Very Mushroom burger w/fries Rating 9/10 High quality, tender meat, lots of mushroom and truffle flavor. This burger has a ton of savory flavor. The texture is soft and juicy. The bread is toasted on the inside, soft on the outside. The toppings enhance the flavors. The fries are super basic, minimal flavor, just plain fries. Smoked Pork Ribs Rating 8/10 Slow cooked texture, easily falling off the bone. Pickled veggies on the side are excellent. Nicely cooked outer layer. The flavor is mild with notes of thyme and maybe rosemary. Steak Tartare Over Marrow Rating 7/10 The overall flavor is dominated by citrus flavors similar to ceviche. The meat flavor is lost in the mix. Texture is soft. The bone marrow is big and toasty.

    This place was a solid dinner spot. The food was delicious staff was attentive and the ambiance was pretty cool. It's a great addition to the neighborhood.

    Perhaps the thing I appreciate most about Petra Rickman, the owner of Bun & Bone, is her drive to take chances and bring stylish, interesting dining to NYC. She has brought us Taco Azul, Ginger and Lemongrass (the Whitestone location was formerly here; now only the downtown Manhattan location remains), and the short-lived Langos Bar - one of her rare misses. Arguably, she has been responsible for making Whitestone a true dining destination. My friends and I visited on Sunday and ordered a variety of dishes to share, which was a great way to sample the new menu. Here is the rundown: Pate: Extremely rich with a solid layer of bone marrow butter. The portion was sizeable, perhaps a bit too much for the two slices of bread provided. Chargrilled Oysters: I was looking forward to these, but they didn't quite hit the mark. I felt the chili, maple butter, bacon rendering, and cheese obliterated rather than complemented the oyster flavor. I'd like to see this tweaked to find a balance that highlights the oyster and captures more of that "char." Moules Frites: A tasty pot of mussels. I need to order these again to give them a fair shake; there were so many strong flavors on the table that I don't think I fully appreciated them this time. Smoked White Bean Soup: A rich, filling soup with a wonderful smoky essence and large chunks of smoked pork rib. French Dip Burger: I expected this to be my favorite, but I actually enjoyed the mushroom burger more. That said, the beef onion broth was very good. Very Mushroom Burger: I am a huge fan of mushrooms on a burger because it amps up the meaty flavor so well. This was a great version. Smoky & Spicy Burger: This had a refreshing tanginess that cut through the richness of the beef perfectly. Shoestring Fries: These came with all the burgers and the mussels. They were the pinnacle of "McDonald's style" fries, which, to me, is the highest form of praise. Smoked Pork Ribs: Fall-off-the-bone tender, smoky, and delicious. We almost didn't order these because we feared it would be too much food, but I'm so happy we did. They were fantastic. The decor is a slightly tweaked version of the Ginger and Lemongrass aesthetic, though the layout remains the same. Service was very good, especially considering they are still in their soft opening period (I always consider the first month a "breaking-in" period). Thank you, Petra, for bringing this delicious change of pace north of the LIE in Queens. It is a spot I see myself frequenting (much to my doctor's dismay). Nearly every dish features decadent, tasty ingredients. I can't wait to try more!

    New restaurant concept by the owners of what used to be Ginger & Lemongrass. It is now a Brassiere focusing on meats (burgers) and some seafood. The interior remains the same with many comfortably spaced tables and booths. Service was friendly and attentive. They refilled water and cleared our overfilled table when we were done with a dish. We wanted to try a variety so we shared everything: -Pate: I wish there was more bread as there was really only enough for half the pate. We did ask for more bread and got a couple more slices, we also used some of the bread from the other dishes. The cold butter on top is an odd choice as it was tough to spread, maybe a softened/whipped butter on the side would do better. There also wasn't much garlic flavor in the butter. The pickles (picalilli and corniciones) on the side were great accompaniments to cut the richness of the pate. -Chargrilled Oysters: had a little bit of kick and smokiness, which does overpower the oysters. Good flavor though, but may be better on something stronger in flavor. -Moules Frites: The mussels tasted fresh. The beurre blanc was a bit light in flavor, and could use a lot more garlic. Still, it was good for dipping bread (and fries) into. -Smoked Pork Ribs: had the perfect amount of smokiness and was fall off the bone tender. -Smoked White Bean Soup: a hearty soup with a balance of ingredients in terms of flavor and quantity. The bread really soaks up the broth. It is the same pork ribs as above, so you can really taste the smokiness. We got 3 burgers, cooked medium and we asked for them to be cut in half: -French Dip Burger: good onion flavor, but not my favorite . The bun is so soft and airy that feels like it'll fall apart once it soaks up all the soup. We mostly had the soup separate. The horseradish aioli had the perfect amount of horseradish. -Very Mushroom Burger: the truffle aioli was very truffle-ly which I love. I added it to the burger for extra mushroom flavor. It pairs so well with the patty. -Smoky & Spicy: I enjoyed the crunch from the fried onions. The relish is more spicy and tangy than it is smoky. I enjoyed this either way. The chipotle aioli added a bit more spiciness, though was lighter in flavor compared to the other two aioli, so it was overshadowed. The fries that came with the burgers and moules frites were shoestring fries, which could be crispier. We had a lot leftover, and I ate them later (crisped up some more and they were perfect). I enjoyed dipping them in the aioli and beurre blanc. Overall, happy to see this new restaurant from the owners. The burgers are solid, and they use good quality ingredients. Some minor tweaks and I can see this doing really well! I will definitely be back to try other things on their menu.

    Beef Goulash Soup.  It's hearty and delicious.
    Lorraine S.

    Whitestone isn't what one will call a food destination bc people go to its neighbors Flushing for arguably the city's best East Asian cuisine or Bayside's bustling Bell Blvd but I'm asking you, my fellow Yelpers, to check out Bun & Bone when in Northeast Queens . As you see with their menu , burgers are starred but do not skip on the other food options and cocktails bc you will be happy. We started with 1/2 dozen each of the 2 types of oysters they have. I love oysters and consume them regularly considering it's the best HH thing to do in Manhattan on a weekday so I know fresh. B&B's are no exception when it comes to presentation , freshness and the perfect accompaniments. I normally have my oysters straight up but I I tried the cocktail sauce was it was soo good. Next my mother and I split the beef goulash soup. The kind servers absolutely accommodate us with extra bowls and spoons. It's 16oz so it is plenty for sharing after all. Let me tell you - it was the best goulash soup I've ever had. It was the best European beef soup I've had in the States. The beef was so tender and the broth was so flavorful it was comforting and , on this particular day, my dining partners needed it. It comes hot in a Le Creuset pot on a slab of wood with rustic bread. As you're eating and sopping up the broth with that bread you feel transported to medieval Europe. I will be getting this to go on days I feel under the weather. My bro had the spicy burger and mom and I split the tiger shrimp. Now, my brother is not a fan of brioche buns bc sometimes restaurants serve them not so fresh. Not here. It held up to the juicy , dripping down your hand burger like a champ. The burger patty was tender, juicy and seasoned well. If all the burgers are this good I'd say B & B will be my favorite burger place in NE Queens. Tiger shrimp were HUGE! As they should be and grilled still with their shells on. They were cooked just right so no dryness and were very fresh as the meat was firm. It came with an aioli that we didn't need bc the shrimp were good on their own. ( tip- I took some home and ate them cold with cocktail sauce the next day which was a delicious little snack for me - wish I asked for their cocktail sauce to go ) The side of fries that came with the burger was McDonald style , my favorite , and came with a fry sauce. Potato purée for the shrimp side dish was creamy and not overpowered with garlic. Hehe- I got my mom feeling groovy with their cocktails. Our favorite ? The adult milkshake! Service was 5 stars- the place has half moon booths if you're looking for a date spot. Ambience is casual I'd say but it was during the day so at night the lighting can change the mood.

    Was just there celebrating my son's 40th birthday. The burger was the best burger I've had in a very long time. The service was terrific, friendly and the place was very clean. And the music was good too! Very nice place, you'll enjoy it!

    I was sad about ginger and lemongrass closing, but this spot made me forget all about them. The vibe is very similar on the inside as they kept some of the original decor pieces and fixtures. We came close to 3pm on the weekend and there were surprisingly a lot of people coming in and out. Since the restaurant is called bun and bone, of course we had to try one of each. We ordered a mushroom burger and the short rib. Both dishes were spectacular. The mushroom burger had a wagyu patty, which was excellent quality. The flavor was really good and of course the truffle fries were a perfect complement. The short rib was very tender and had a delicious sauce. I also loved the texture and creaminess of the mashed potatoes underneath. Given the quality and taste of everything, it was totally worth the price. My only complaint was the service. It was difficult to get any of the waiters' attention. Our watering was not refilled during our meal.

We were the only customers dining in but there was a steady line of people picking up food to-go. Service was very friendly and the food was great. I got the French Dip Au Jus and my girlfriend got the Brasserie Burger with mushrooms and Swiss cheese (cooked medium). My niece is 20 months old so we just decided we'd let her have some bites of our food. The food took a little bit to come out, but I guess that means it really is made to order. I started off with the French Dip and it had a decent amount of meat on it. The bread was nicely toasted and the Jus was super flavorful. My niece actually liked it a lot and dipped her french fries in it. Even without the Jus the sandwich meat was moist and flavorful while the bread did a good job of soaking up the juices and adding crunch. The burger was also surprisingly good. The patty was actually cooked to medium so it was also juicy and flavorful. Mushroom and swiss is an undefeated combo on burgers provided the meat is good, and in this case the meat was quite good. Both entrees came with some fries and greens which were average. We also had black coffee with our food which was pretty good. It's on the pricier side, but it seems to be reflected in the quality of the food. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this spontaneous meal. I would certainly come back.

She told us she loves it, not because it's one of the few dining options in the center, but because the burger is so good that she has to limit herself to one or two a week. The staff was friendly, and the décor inside looked nice. (Sorry, we sat outside because it was such a beautiful day, and I forgot to bring my phone with me when I went inside.) We ordered the spicy tuna, crispy beef tacos, scurry-roasted carrots, the Hundredfold Cheeseburger, and the Butcher's Reserve, which was a filet. The spicy tuna had a nice kick and was served over crispy rice that was actually crispy. The beef tacos were also very good. The beef itself was a little underseasoned, but if you eat it altogether with the cilantro, cheese, crema, and taco shell, everything came together nicely. The Butcher's Reserve was served with mashed potatoes, broccolini, and gravy. The steak was cooked slightly more than I would have preferred, but it was well seasoned, so it was still enjoyable. The standout, though, was the Hundredfold Cheeseburger. It was a double smash burger with cheese, served with fries that were just as impressive. The carrots were fine, but they weren't particularly memorable. If you're in the area and craving a really good burger in a laid-back atmosphere with friendly service, Hundredfold is definitely worth checking out.

Well, the dish arrived at my table with scant ingredients in the rice, and more importantly, the rice was undercooked. I informed the waiter who took it back to the kitchen, waited for 10-15 minutes and received it back, this time with the rice sufficiently cooked. But it also appeared that additional chorizo slices were added to the dish, appreciated, but triggering my curiosity as to what went wrong. I then realized that contrary to the menu description, I didn't notice any scallops, and only a smattering of small calamari pieces. I managed to get through my meal, but was nagged wondering how they managed to "fix" the plate... microwave, etc? This kind of thing just turns one off, ruining the experience. After giving an honest assessment when asked again "how is everything" we were compensated with a complementary crème brûlée and some sparkling wine, given it was our anniversary, The waiter pointed out one shiny scallop on the right side of the dish when presented with this photo.
