Two breakfast sandwiches with eggs, cheese, and meats in toasted bread are shown, wrapped in foil and paper. The sandwiches contain scrambled eggs, melted cheese, and slices of meat, possibly bacon or ham. The sandwiches are placed on a crinkled aluminum foil surface, with some paper wrapping visible in the background.

Get the breakfast sandwich called the "greenpointer". It is absolutely delicious and has become a weekend ritual of mine to come & grab one. The mike's hot honey is the perfect touch to the combination. I wish there were some seats to enjoy but this Astoria location is more of a pick up / to-go establishment. Either or, you have to come try them out, won't regret it!

Keepin it real out here in Astoria Was out there with a client and he swore by this place. He treated me to a bacon egg and cheese and yes it was that good. A little different from the usual New York BEC, but with the higher price tag, they def flared this thing up. Would get it again when i save up enough

This bs ass egg and hash brown sandwich that I DID NOT even ordered. - The image displays a fried chicken sandwich with egg and cheese, cut in half to show the interior layers, including fried chicken, egg, and melted cheese. The sandwich is wrapped in aluminum foil and appears to be from a fast-food or casual eatery. The caption overlaid on the image states, 'What I got instead!!!' with angry face emojis, indicating dissatisfaction with the order received.

I came in today and ordered a sandwich I saw on TikTok. The girl at the counter said it was called a "Rodeo Burger" basically double cheese burger with onions, hickory bacon and stack on onion rings on top. When I got home I didn't bother to eat because i wasn't feeling well and I just opened now and it's 12:55 AM, I found something completely different a poppy seed bun with hash browns and eggs. Who's f**king paying $18 for that? On top of that, it had no flavor. The store wasn't even crowded I was the only one ordering at the time, and the people before me were already eating. How do you confuse a burger with eggs and send out the wrong order like that? I doubt they are even gonna fix this wrong but damn sure later in the morning I will be disputing this charge. Edit: I disputed the charge

The Spicy Chicken Parm- This sandwich was great. The bread was smooshy and the chicken was moist, and the cheese was melty. The sandwich had flavor but wasn't too spicy and all of the ingredients melded very well. The Michelle- The brie was good, but the sandwich needed one component to be the hero flavor, because overall it was just a little too subtle. For example, maybe if the onion hadn't been pickled, or if the mustard had been spicier, or there had been more cheese. It was a fine sandwich, they didn't skimp on the turkey or anything else, but it wasn't anything special. The Spicy Chicken Parm sandwich blew it out of the water. The guys behind the counter were super friendly- they offered us ice and cups for our cooler drinks. One was eating his lunch when we came in, and stopped eating immediately as soon as we ordered to make our sandwiches. I loved that they had connect four on all of the indoor tables, and appreciated the small outside seating area (but beware the pigeons that perch on the roof- we had a close close call).

Calabria (~$10)

Ordered: Calabria (~$10): Soft Scrambled Eggs, Cheddar, Avocado, Mike's Hot Honey & Calabrian Chiles on a toasted poppy seed Kaiser roll Aya's take: Found myself back at Compton's but this time for breakfast! The staff is always super friendly and welcoming. My order wasn't ready when I arrived but they assured me they were working on it. I probably waited an additional 5 or so minutes. The Calabria is super solid! The scrambled eggs were soft and fluffy, the cheddar was melted, and the avocado added that fresh element that's an absolute must in breakfast sandwiches. Despite the Mike's Hot Honey and Calabrian chiles in the sandwich, it honestly wasn't that spicy. I did like the added flavor but the sandwich still felt a bit dry and maybe could've used a creamier sauce (like a spicy aioli) on the side. Other than that, it definitely hit the spot and kept me full for a while.

Calabrian brekkie sandwich - amazing - A sandwich with toasted bread, melted cheese, and slices of avocado is shown. The cheese is gooey and stringy, stretching between the bread slices. The sandwich is placed on crumpled aluminum foil, suggesting it is ready to be eaten or has been recently prepared.

I was excited to try the breakfast sandwiches here and had a few options to choose from since vegetarian & meat-free options were available. Thoroughly enjoyed the "Calabrian" sandwich). So much, that I came back later that day to try the "Eggplant Parm" sandwich for lunch. These are super filling, so it's worth to split between two people. The semolina bread I had for lunch was amazing. Special shout-out to the man behind the counter, phenomenal service.

A soggy wrap - A partially eaten wrap with a creamy filling containing vegetables and possibly meat, wrapped in a soft flatbread, placed on crinkled foil and paper. A crumpled tissue is visible in the background on a wooden table surface, indicating a casual dining setting.

I can't believe how far the quality of this place has fallen. I was a loyal (~ 3 times per week) customer and raved to friends about the wraps and breakfast burrito. I don't know if it's to save money but my once favorite sandwich, the Waldorf Tuna Wrap, is now a disaster. The last three times I've ordered it it's fallen apart on first bite and I taste none of the wasabi mayo that made it unique and delicious before. It's basically inedible now.

Favorite spot for sandwich no doubt. Super big portion with the price, great value. I love their chopped cheese sandwich, which is basically a double cheese burger with a lot of their special dressing. It's super filling, a bit greesy, but very comforting. I would opt for this sandwich over a burger. Also like their hot sandwiches with chicken fingers, also nicely designed on the flavor and texture.

A solid choice for the residents in the area. This location has revamped their interior a bit and took down the outdoor setup. They have a large variety of sandwiches, burgers, wraps to choose from, you'd eventually find one that you like. The wait is long during lunch hour so it's best you order in advance or come outside peak times. Place is small, maybe 1-2 people can sit inside and a handful outside in the blazing sun.

This is a wonderful hidden gem. As you walk in past the sidewalk patrons , you are greeted by retro arcade games (free of charge). Also has a kiosk where you can order, but why? They have wonderful employees. Every time I go here, I'm greeted with smiles and jokes from the guy at the register taking orders. The menu is full of great sandwiches, and it's something for everyone. The place is super clean and you could also sit and play classics like connect four while you wait for your food.

My husband heard great things about Compton's, so we decided to drive 30 minutes from Long Island to try their sandwiches. It was around 10 am, the girl who took my order was nice and helpful. We got the mozzarella sticks, french fries, chopped cheese, Philly cheesesteak and The Jimmy sandwich. My order took a while- ppl who ordered a single sandwich after me got theirs first, which kind of irked me. We weren't a big fan of the mozzarella stick breading- it tasted hard (overfried) without having much flavor. The entire family loved the fries and the chopped cheese- both were seasoned to perfection. The chopped cheese is comparable to the one @ Hajji's in Harlem. The Philly cheesesteak was disappointing because the meat wasn't chopped thin enough, so there were random large chunks that were very chewy, and there wasn't enough cheese whiz. The Jimmy sandwich was great with just the right amount of spiciness (my fave). If you're craving some good sandwiches, there are some diamonds in the rough here.

At the corner of 14th St & 30th Ave. Had to circle around to find a parking spot.

Yelp's Summer of Sandwiches is a great way of spotlighting local businesses that I might not have ever visited on my own. I dread coming to Astoria, but for Compton's delicious sandwiches, I would make an exception. I found parking on a lazy Wednesday afternoon, a couple of blocks away. On Google Streetview, Compton's had a covered street hutch for dining, but has since been removed and there are 3-4 tables and chairs on the sidewalk now. Ordering my sandwiches to go, I waited a few minutes and heard my cheesesteak being made by the satisfying pinging of the spatula hitting the steel flattop grill chopping up the steak. The first sandwich to come out of the kitchen though, was the Burrata Combo. It's a great cold hero sandwich with lots of crusty & creamy mozzarella on top of layers of hot & sweet soppressata, ham, prosciutto & arugula topped with their vodka sauce. The Vodka Chicken Parm hero was pretty good also with a crispy fried chicken breast topped with mozzarella and again with vodka sauce. But my favorite had to be the Spencer (named after my Yelp buddy?). It is a tasty, perfectly seasoned cheesesteak topped with provolone, peppers, onions and sauced with red pepper aioli. It was like perfection on a slab of bread. I think taking home it home took away from it's full flavor, so I can't wait to come back to try out all the other sandwiches for breakfast, lunch & dinner and eat them on the sidewalk, piping hot!

We stopped in here for lunch after doing a bit of research on Yelp. Small sandwich shop on the corner of the street. Menu is pretty extensive. We ordered a Michelle which was apples Brie turkey and caramelized onions. Really fantastic the wife loved it. Also got a Jaclyn which was eggplant and mozzeralla along with some fig spread. I think it is the little extras like this that take the sandwiches to another level. They were a Good size too. Next time I'd try a sandwich with meat and hope I can come back soon.

This place is a gem for sure. It sits in an old prewar building on the 1st floor. I had no idea…read morethis place existed to be honest. I don't know why I thought it was closer to astoria. As soon as you walk in you get that speak easy vibe with hip hop, real hip hop. The lights are so fun with hanging candles. It was giving Harry potter vibes. :::bathroom alert::: Look as soon as I went into the elden ring bathroom I lost my mind. If you're a gamer you know what I am talking about. Fans of game of thrones, boy oh boy do they have a treat for you! A throne toliet, geeze I wish I had to poop at that point, lol. I went to the second bano to see what it was, I was not disappointed. For the wings, I wasnt too impressed to he honest. Very bready with white sauce, I've had better. The service was really fast, very pleased with that. My friends indulged the whiskey flight, it looked really fun. I wanted to partake but thats too much whiskey for me. The peach and cream sour was delicious! I could see myself coming back. Had a great time and loved the space.

This was my first time visiting the huntress in long island city and it was was such a good…read moreexperience and honesty il will definitely come back. So they have decent amount of the beers and cocktails and food choices they also have a fun little thing in mystery cans the staff picks and gives whatever they choose. They had a bunch of different wings burgers since I'm basic I got a wing flavor called it's literally just bbq lmfao and I'm ok with it's white Alabama sauce wings and their so so good . And for me wings and beers make the perfect combination I definitely highly recommend coming here especially if you are in the area please check out the huntress it's an enjoyable experience. The ambiance is chilled the bartender slash server's are friendly it's overall great experience so i highly recommend coming here I definitely see my self coming back here another time.

Happy to say I finally had the opportunity to return for an intimate birthday celebration and everything was just how I remembered it. Cute and quaint, with good service and food, a great vibe! Without a doubt I absolutely ordered the roasted corn salad. It has tomatoes, avocado, roasted corn, Romain lettuce, and an amazing dressing. I added the pan seared chicken. The chicken was super flavorful and juicy, and extremely tender, not overdone. The salad was magical just as I remembered it. In addition the guac was fresh and the Hibiscus Margs was a tasty way to wash it all down. It's amazing how I dream about this salad. It's a good thing I don't live close because I would have no problem factoring in this salad which is a little pricey into an almost daily budget. Lol. Needless to say I will not be reminiscing about this salad for two years again. I will be back sooner than you think. A special thanks to our server, whom was a one man show the whole night. Just A Note: Parking can be a bit of a challenge and Carla's is tiny but mighty and absolutely worth it!!

The service is solid and efficient.
