    Bacon, fried egg and American cheese
    George M.

    Dinners/ole' fashioned coffee shops have been closing in NYC. It's nice to see the tradition of no frills, well priced grub continue. I've passed by this place for a while and today at last, I stopped by. I ordered an NYC breakfast staple (bacon, egg and cheese on a roll) and they delivered the goods. Coffee and ambiance were adequate. The staff was friendly and surprised that I walked in and sat at the counter. It seems they do more delivery than eat-in. Let's boost their eat-in customer base fellow Yelpers....

    Little did I know that this diner also serves some awesome Mexican food! I had their steak enchiladas suizas, and the taste was incredible. You could really taste the flavors and salsa verde. My friends had a quesadilla and a burrito bowl. They also really loved their choices. We had a tiramisu, on the house, after we ate. The waiter was phenomenal and very kind. It's a small diner, but worth it for the food and service.

    Hubby and I came here for breakfast one morning because Hubby found it via Google. Yea, what would you do without googling? You could starve to death lol. Angie was our waitress. She's a sweet lady. I saw Huevos rancheros, so I ordered that immediately, and Hubby ordered the create-own omelet they have on the menu. I would suggest you order this instead of ordering from the types of omelets they have on the menu. It's slightly cheaper than the set, and you can choose what you like. The cafe has enough tables for morning patrons. They also offer outside seating. We thought it was a great breakfast place for a change. My Huevos Rancheros was amazing! Everything's great.

    Small homey diner with good food and good coffee. They have a wide variety of menu items including health conscious options and a natural smoothie bar. The customer service was excellent. The staff was attentive, warm, and kind. The inside is small but cozy. A great spot for a coffee date, friend date, or solo date.

    Steak quesadilla? Way too greasy

    Nice small spot to have lunch, food disappointed not what I was expecting, I will not recommend this place if you really want to try good food, service was fine I just don't like those hand paper receipts which I didn't understood what the charges were for? The hand written check was certain amount with tax included and when they brought my printed check paid was $10 extra? I did see any ambience there, this people who gives 5 stars need more knowledge about rating a business.

    I was craving pancakes so I came to Yelp and it led me here. Great ambiance. Cozy, intimate diner feel with really friendly staff. Food was fresh, filling and not greasy. I will definitely be back and could easily see myself becoming a regular! Staff is super super friendly!!

    The image shows the exterior of a restaurant located in Queens, NY, with a red-painted facade and large glass windows. The signage above the entrance displays the words "BREAKFAST - LUNCH - DINNER". Two round, illuminated wall lights are positioned on either side of the open door, which reveals a glimpse of the interior where people are seated and standing. The reflection in the windows shows nearby buildings and parked cars.

    Badly needed diner on 35th Avenue in Astoria Badly needed diner on 35th Avenue in Astoria. This diner which just opened is undoubtedly an asset to the residential area of Astoria along 35th Avenue. We came here for breakfast last week. I ordered scrambled eggs and bacon, and my partner her usual bagel. We found an old waitress who we knew from a previous eatery (Lite Bites) who gave us special service. Another waitress took our order so there was a fight over the tip

    We just moved to Astoria and this diner is already our go-to! The service is excellent and the food is delicious. The environment is very friendly and welcoming. The smoothies are 10/10!!

    Greek Omelette and Eggs Benedict

    So excited for this diner! It's got a classic diner menu, lots of options. Good prices. I come here once a week for breakfast with my husband. Staff is really nice. Music selection is also always fun hah. Open until 11pm. There really isn't a place like this in the area - so go there and support them! Highly recommend!

    Sunrise Quesadilla

    This place doesn't have many reviews yet because it's fairly new and kinda hidden off the main drags of the commercial businesses- so I'm drawing attention to it here! Small, cozy diner right on the corner of 35 Avenue and 30 Street in Astoria. They have a big menu selection too! I was in the mood for coffee and breakfast food so today's stop I ordered just that and had quite a few refills on the coffee haha Service was great- the waiter kept checking on us and making sure we were all set. The portions were really big too- you get what you pay for- and speaking of that- prices are very reasonable. I know it's just breakfast I had today but the food was delicious and filling! They have lunch and dinner items as well but I will have to save that for another time. Also loved the fact that they were playing 80's music over my head haha- I think that was just random for the day- but I always appreciate good music when I go out to eat. I noticed some out door seating for those who prefer sitting outside too. Was a tad hot today so we opted to stay inside. I hope more people stop in here and share their good reviews about this spot because it seems to be a hidden little gem here. I'll be sure to come back and try out some lunch and dinner items!

    Blueberry pancakes

    Ordered breakfast here. The breakfast burrito omelet was amazing! The blueberry pancakes was a little different than we expected since there's no blueberry in the pancakes, just a few whole blueberries on top and on the side.

    Rigatoni Bolognese

    Yummy, huge portions, and great customer service! Very nice and clean place. Totally a hidden gem.

    Pancakes - The image shows a breakfast meal with three golden-brown pancakes stacked on a white plate and multiple strips of crispy bacon on a separate white plate. The table has various condiments, including syrup, sugar, and cream, along with a can of Coke, a napkin, and utensils. The setting appears to be in a casual restaurant or diner with a dark wooden table and some sunlight coming from the side.

    Pancakes are amazing. I went in at 4pm wondering what I would get and they turned out to be some of the best pancakes I have ever had. Eaten here about 5 times now, burgers & fries were good too. Friendly staff, reminds me of what Bel-Aire was like 10 years ago.

    The image displays an online food order from 35 Avenue Diner in Queens, NY, with options for pickup and delivery. The order includes a chicken quesadilla, French onion soup, and Caesar salad, with prices listed. The menu features breakfast items like bagels, muffins, and pancakes, along with other breakfast and baked goods. Delivery services from Grubhub and DoorDash are available, with estimated wait times and fees. The subtotal for the order is $41.20, and a checkout button is visible.

The second time, we had to deal with stupid bouncers or security guards before being let into their bar/pub. That's a huge turnoff for me, and it's only worth it for strip clubs and concerts. Sweet Afton is a hip Irish-style pub known for its craft cocktails, extensive beer selection, and upscale pub fare. It has a cozy interior with exposed brick and a sought-after outdoor garden area that is enclosed in the winter.  A few of their menu items include "Astoria's best burger" (using Pat LaFrieda beef), the Dirty Pickle Martini (featuring McClure's pickle juice), and beer-battered fried pickles. I learned that they have a sister pub called the Bonnie in Ditmars, which I have been to and had a great time. Last Saturday I came back for a third time. I was surprised at how things had changed; much more laid-back, with good customer service, good vibes, and one of the most delicious bar burgers I have ever eaten, with a side salad, in any pub or establishment in Queens. Furthermore, Sweet Afron had some nice alternatives to bear and larger, and I selected a cider instead. First, I was offered a sip, and then, upon my approval, a full glass of cider. In conclusion, I do plan to return!

She was the only server there and did a fantastic job. We got the Buffalo mac and cheese balls as a starter and they were so good! kid friendly but had a tiny kick to it. I got the crispy chicken and gravy with the mac and cheese and mexican street corn and there is literally not a single complaint. My mom also got the crispy chicken and mac and cheese but she got the tater tots and they had a nice flavor and were crispy but not burnt (EXACTLY how she ordered them). My sister got the bedrock pancakes and while they looked way too sweet for me she LOVED them. We also got the Nutella Ella Ella Aye milkshake and it looked so good and tasted even better. This will definitely be a place that I will be going back to on my next trip.

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.

    Ive lived in Astoria practically my whole life yet never been to Vite. It off 31st ave on 34th…read morestreet and for some reason ive never ventured there. While deciding where to go one day, this was suggested and im so glad I went. The restaurant is cozy with tables inside the main dining room and in an enclosed outdoor seating area. Im guessing it opens in the summer. I sat down with my niece while waiting for my sister and for a good 5-7 minutes, no one stopped by and gave a menu nor offered water. Finally after about 3 people walked by not saying anything, someone came. The area is not that big and 7 minutes isnt that long but to sit there any not be addressed by all the staff walking by was annoying. Finally my sister came and we were offered water and a menu. After hearing about the specials and asking for recommendations, we settled on the gnocchi (housemade potato gnocchi, burrata, peas, pesto sauce, toasted pine nuts), Pappardelle alla Bolognese (housemade ribbon pasta, meat sauce), and side of sautéed spinach. The food arrived and we were pleasantly delightful by the main. The gnocchi was so soft and creamy, the sauce was delicious. Im not a fan of gnocchi but this was so good. The papardelle was my meal and it was also so good. There was a lot of pasta and a good amount of meat sauce. It was also delicious. The spinach on the other hand was bland. It has no flavor and we had to add some salt. A few times we tried to call someone over to our table but felt like no one was paying attention. When we were done with our meals, my sister had a few pieces of gnocchi left. She asked for a box as it was to be my nieces lunch for tomorrow. I then said, can you also box up the spinach. A few minutes later, the server dropped off a bag with one container and said here's the spinach. We tried to call his attention but he was already walking away. Where was the gnocchi. Finally when we came back, we asked about it and he said oh I thought it was garbage. I said no we asked for it to be boxed. He said let me talk to the kitchen. He came back and said sorry, they cant do anything but one dessert will be on me. I guess thats fine but we more wanted the food for the baby. For dessert we ordered a tiramisu and pistachio gelato. The tiramisu was in a jar as opposed to a cake slice. One bite of the ice cream and I knew it was bad. It was grainy and sandy texture. I looked up why that would be and one reason stated it could be improper storage, like it was unfrozen or melted then refrozen. I wasn't chancing that. I told the server and said I couldn't eat it. He offered another dessert but I said know, then offered a limoncello shot. While I appreciate the offer, we weren't drinking before so that wasn't the best option to offer. I just said im fine without a replacement. When we got the bill, the dessert was taken off like he said he would. We paid and left. Overall the main course/pasta meals were delicious. The sides and desserts could use work. Service was alright. Id definitely come back for the food and to try some of the pizza.

Branzino Special with Cannelli Beans and Swiss Chard. This was the winner of the evening. The cripsy skin was amazing. The fish was cooked to perfection, the cannelli beans I thought were going to be weird but it added a nice creaminess to the fish.

I hate to say it but as good as the steak was, the roasted potatoes was the star of show. The potatoes were amazing. Pappardelle alla Bolognese- housemade ribbon pasta, meat sauce. This was good but came off a bit plain. The pasta was homemade but it was almost to a fault since the pasta came out too soft. The flavors were good but I felt this would have been a better, reheated the next day kind of dish.
