From top to bottom: Homemade Mac & Cheese, String beans, Cabbage with bacon
Melissa C.

Amazing comfort food for my soul! I really needed this reminder of how homemade food feeds the mind, body & soul. The seafood bique was delicious with lobster meat, shrimp & crab leg meat. I loved the fact that it wasn't thick and heavy. It was savory and flavorful. I had 2 big bowls and still craved more. The fish bites were so fresh and yummy, my 5-year old daughter devoured all of it in one seating. Next time I will double up on the fish bites and shrimp burger! That's how delicious they were. Gretel & Sons definitely deserves my Yummylicious Stamp of Approval! Two thumbs up!!!

Wings, Rasta pasta, yams and Mac & cheese

Great hospitality and customer service. Beautiful to see a family work so well together and seem to enjoy what they do. It definitely shows in the quality of their food. Everything was immaculate 10/10 on everything we tried from mains, to sides, the bread, the desert, and fresh lemonade/limeade. Can't wait to go back

While waiting for my son to finish rock climbing, I stumbled upon this place, which is next door. It was Sunday, 20 minutes before they close so I wasn't expecting to get much. I did really wanted to try their famous, sweet potato bread- 1 of the sons offered to warm up a slice for me to try with honey butter on top- It was very good and I ended up getting the small loaf to bring home. He even gave me extra honey butter on the side. A few days later, I came back to try their sticky honey garlic wings, fried fish bites, mac n cheese, yams (mashed) and of course, more sweet potato bread. I placed my order over the phone and they were so nice & accommodating, all the food was ready as promised and everything was delicious especially the wings- tasted like double fried Korean wings but better & crisper, mac n cheese was super cheesy, fish bites were tasty and mashed yams were creamy & rich. Can't wait to come back for more- honey garlic wings :P Seriously, the best soul food you'll ever have!

I've been to a few Mango Mango Dessert locations, but this one in Westbury is probably the smallest…read moreone I've been to. However, it's certainly cute inside and spacious. I truly like the clouds and hot air balloons decor. There are a few parking spots right in front. A staff member welcomed us in and we chose a table to sit while looking at the menu. When we were ready, we went up to the counter to order. I ordered the Mango Coconut Sticky Rice w. Ice Cream ($10.75) and the Lychee Jasmine Ice Tea ($8.50). My husband ordered the Mixed Fresh Fruit w. Sago & Jelly in Coconut Juice ($9.25). It only took a few minutes for our order to arrive at the table. I really enjoyed the Mango Coconut Sticky Rice w. Ice Cream. The mango was so fresh and it was a great portion. I would definitely order this again. The Lychee Jasmine Ice Tea was very refreshing and had real pieces of lychee. I am really glad this location is open and nearby me. I'll be back!

I ordered the rice and mango bowl and the rice was soooooo sour and fizzy on the tongue and it was really soupy. I stopped eating it because I don't think it was supposed to taste like that. The crepe cake was good though. Service was ok. I was sitting at a different table than my party and the lady placed my order at the other table instead of where I was sitting which I thought was a bit odd and disregarding. The parking situation is limited because of the other businesses on that small lot and limited to 30mins.

They closed down the restaurant just for us, giving us complete freedom to decorate and rearrange the space for a super intimate feel. The team went above and beyond: helping us set up and pack down, and even pulling out a ladder so we could hang decor from the ceiling! The manager even printed custom menus to match our theme, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was served family-style--they gave us plenty of choices beforehand, and our pick of 2 appetizers and 3 entrees was a massive hit. Days later and I'm still getting messages saying how great the food was and fun/perfect the space was. My husband was even happily eating leftovers the next day because the food was that good! Top it all off with an ice cream bar for dessert, and you have the perfect venue. You truly can't go wrong hosting an event here!

Ambiance has changed a lot since I was little, now going for more of a horse racing theme since they sponsor a race horse in Saratoga. Very cool but I do miss the vintage vibes! Maybe a few pictures of the original diner would be cool? The food is great. This was my first time trying the Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger and it was so tasty, especially paired with the homemade fries. Milano ice cream is top-tier! It's like cookies & crème but replaces Oreo with Milano cookies. Service was a bit slow, which was odd considering we were one of two tables at the time. Also, we ordered a burger with grilled onions and ended up with a cheeseburger (no onions) instead. Otherwise, all was well and staff was very nice. (Alfredo at the grill is iconic and always the best, always remembers us!) This is a must-try spot- don't miss them at Citi Field either!

Only because I have been too Dolce Gelateria before and never gave my review. That being said. Yazmine thank you for the inspiration to visit and give a review. Moving along!! Dolce Gelateria provides accessible entry and there is parking in front away front away from the traffic on Franklin Ave. This is a beautiful gelato parlor. The staff are always welcoming, and you are warmly greeted upon entrance. Things I love about Dolce Gelateria* KI love the outdoor seating. I love the suggestive selling, they inform the customers of the various products for sale, regardless if you buy or not. I love the samples they give. I sampled the mango Gelato. D'licious! I love how they give you a cup and you have more than one flavor., I was asked if I wanted to mix the mango gelato, I kept it one flavor. I also love the prices; it is within my budget. So, I guess by now, one can make an accurate assumption that I purchased the mango gelato and enjoy it immensely . I repeat, it was very D'licious. It is now one of my favorite taste. I purchased the tiramisu; its taste was distinctive and prominent. It deserves to be eaten alone so that your taste buds can savor the flavor for maximum appreciation. I also purchased Coffee flavor. I normally do French vanilla with this flavor, but they did not have it. The Tiramisu was in the same cup as the coffee, I would have preferred a solo cup. I ordered the carrot cake and found it very tasty, and a red velvet was comped, also delicious. I tried the lactose free flavor just to taste but that's not me! But still... Inspire more, Yelp more!

To top it off the spot is super dog friendly! They offer plenty of indoor and outdoor seating if you just want to sit back, relax, and hang out wonderful service such as beautiful location

I came here about 1-2 months ago on a weekend to grab some food for takeout as this place is pretty…read moreclose to me. A friend had told me the food here was pretty good. The place is ultra small and easy to miss on Post Ave. Inside, it's not huge but they have a bunch of tables and their lighting is pretty good. So I grabbed one of their menus that they had by the cash register and took a look. I was impressed because their prices seemed very reasonable. Key word being 'seemed'. I decided to order their enchiladas platter with red sauce, which was listed at $14. Unfortunately, when I went to pay for my meal, I was told that the menus were old, and that the real price for the meal was closer to $20. I might've even paid more than that with tax included; don't remember 100%. But that was very disappointing. I told the young lady who was working there that they price was listed at $14 on their own menu; she responded that the correct price was listed somewhere on their board. Though I'm pretty sure it was unintentional, I felt a bit duped. Anyways, I took my food back home to see how it was. I couldn't help but to compare this enchilada platter to the one offered at Little Mexico about a block away cause they offer the same thing. So, first off, Little Mexico gives you a ton of chips and salsa when you order a platter from them. This was not present at Juicebox. The platter at Little Mexico definitely gives you more food overall. Anyways, I dug in, and the platter from Juice Box wasn't bad. The flavor was pretty good and there wasn't anything too offensive about it, but unfortunately it just pales in comparison to the enchiladas at Little Mexico. I couldn't help but to be disappointed that the enchiladas platter at Juicebox was less food, no chips, tasted worse, and was more expensive. The enchiladas platter at Little Mexico comes out to about $17-18 after tax. So those were my thoughts overall. So that was my experience with Juicebox Cafe. I might give it another shot in the future cause it's close to my home, but I don't feel inclined to, especially after the pricing debacle I experienced and the price I paid didn't seem justified.

However currently they offer a full breakfast and lunch menu including pancakes, paninis, salads and burgers. Furthermore they offer Mexican dishes such as tacos, quesadillas, fajitas, and full platters (steak, chicken, shrimp, etc) including paella. They offer weekday lunch specials and Happy Hour specials such as a burger and fries for $4.99! So far I've like everything that I've tried here. Definitely a good spot to try.

While waiting, we were offered samples of our choice, which was literally a full pup-cup size. They have 16 frozen yogurt/ ice cream flavors- vegan, nonfat, low-fat & no sugar added options as well as endless variety of toppings to choose from, and cakes too. We opted for a quart of the Tangy Yo nonfat yogurt & a cup of 5 toppings that she chose. The yogurt tasted tart, tangy & quite refreshing- reminds me of Chobani plain Greek yogurt but sweeter or the Yakult probiotic milk- iykyk. We liked it a lot. A bit pricey just like any other frozen yogurt places & the staff aren't very friendly tho it's definitely great to have on a hot summer day or night :)

The yogurt itself was delicious and packed with flavor - we tried quite a few before landing on our decision. Will definitely be back!!
