    I've been patronizing Irish Cottage for the past 20+ years. The staff is always attentive and helpful, the food constantly good, and there's always a lively ambiance. It's always decorated festively for the holidays. I'm glad to see this place survive the pandemic and hope it continues to thrive. It's a true neighborhood gem.

    Burgers are always a hit and done right! Service is friendly. I love the decor especially for St. Paddy's Day.

    Chicken in a Basket

    We've been in the neighborhood for over 15 years and have never tried this place. We always wanted to and never got a chance to. So finally today we went out of our way to try the place for lunch. It's very cute inside. When you first walk in, you are met by a bar and off to the side there's a small seating area with booths and tables. The staff pointed us to the seats and said we can sit anywhere. We grabbed a corner table. On the menu were typical pub food. I got the fish and chips, my daughter got the chicken in the basket, and my husband got the chicken pot pie. After getting our drinks we waited a short time for the food to arrive. They had malt vinegar for the fries and fish and chips as well as ketchup. First the fish and chips were well battered but the fish inside tasted like it was frozen. It was flaky and moist but maybe a little too moist. If you leave it too long it gets super soggy. The fries were big and crispy. My daughter's fried chicken was a surprise. The batter was crispy and well seasoned. The chicken itself was piping hot and juicy. It was delicious. My husband's chicken pot pie was in a huge bowl topped with a large round buttery flaky puff pastry. My husband really enjoyed it. The staff were friendly and attentive. So after many years we finally got to this little pub and were happy we got a chance to go.

    I got my first taste of the holidays when I dined at Irish Cottage with the amazing holiday decor. The miniature Christmas village is so festive. The set up indoors almost reminds me of a family dining room with the framed photos and TV on the wall. The Chicken Pot Pie had a buttery top crust and melted in my mouth. The filling wasn't too heavy, but it was savory and filling. It was a bit difficult to get a staff member's attention because they were busy, but the wait for the food or check wasn't long at all.

    I never had an authentic Irish breakfast which needed to change. I headed over to Austin st to the cottage for breakfast and omg the I can't believe how good everything was. I got the breakfast platter which served a variety of different things like eggs sausages black and white pudding which was delicious. I also got a small shepherds pie on the side too and jeez Louis it was hot but you can't experience great foods without some pain XD Also the interior looks so cozy and warm perfect for that cold winter day.

    Excellent local Irish pub/restaurant right here in the heart of Forest Hills, Queens NYC. I came here on a Saturday afternoon for a quick drink and bite. Had such a great and fun time sitting at the bar. The music selection was sweet and the atmosphere was such a nice vibe. People were having a great time including myself. The food was delicious. I very much enjoyed a basket of crunchy fried chicken with yummy french fries. And of course the Guinness beer was delicious. The lady bartenders were all sweethearts. Will definitely visit again.

    Where do I even begin? First, DO NOT GO HERE! This place should be shutdown for health code violations and scamming customers!!! Not only was the food and service terrible but The place is a wannabe Irish pub with owners that aren't even Irish!!!! It's a shame! Place used to be amazing back when the Irish woman owned it but apparently the Mexican chef owns it now and it definitely shows!!! the only Irish female bartender refuses to give good service (her name was Clair) never smiled, charged me for the WRONG drink, forgot to ring in my food, waited 15 minutes for drink, and proceeded to take shots with customers/her friends behind the bar! About 30 minutes later a shorter Latino bartender looked to be 18 years old I think her name was Andy? She came behind the bar and started vaping as well!! Ignored me for another 15 minutes until I had to wave at her! What kind of bar is this? As I waited to get my second drink I noticed a tiny cockroach on the draft line by the Guinness handle...my skin instantly started to crawl! I wanted to leave once I got my food.. I ordered the chicken quesadilla and there was a LONG BLACK HAIR in my food!!! I asked Andy to take it back and I didn't want anything else but the check. They refused to take the black hair chicken quesadilla off my tab! I asked for the manager and they refused to get the manager, so I had no choice but to pay for the food I did not eat. $40 for terrible food, terrible service, and disgusting bar atmosphere. I will never be back! Also - I filed a complaint with the city as the DOH grade posted outside hasn't been updated since 2021!!!!!!!

    So disappointed with the kitchen service. We were a group of 11; we went in for brunch. We waited over an hour and a half for our food. Most of the group ended up leaving without their food. So disappointing. The bright side the place is beautifully decorated for St Patricks.

    I came to the Irish Cottage with my family on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in the Spring. We decided to sit outside, which was a great call, as the interior has more of a pub vibe, whereas the outdoor area is more family-friendly. The staff was very attentive and kept popping back outside to check on us and the other patrons dining outside. As for food, I highly recommend the brunch menu, as the brunch comes with Irish soda bread and a drink (coffee, mimosa, etc.). I went with the Irish breakfast, which was quite heavy, but very delicious. My family enjoyed their omlettes and burger. The food was also presented really nicely and all the portions were a decent size. I would certainly come back and maybe even try some of their other Irish-style offerings!

    Looking for a spot in the area with outdoor seating to accommodate a couple dogs. Found this place just off the main street - small patio and not crowded at all on a Saturday night. Was keeping it light, so ordered a basket of Fries ($8) to share, as well as a Guinness ($8). Guinness is poured well enough, satisfying after letting it settle for a bit. Fries come out shortly after the drinks - super greasy that could not be dabbed off. After having a couple, we didn't really enjoy it and let the waitress know. Was offered another batch, but wasn't feeling it. Bill at the end still included the fries. The menu is fairly extensive, so it's possible some of the other items are better.

I am a sucker for this famous British/Irish deep fried goodness. Well, I can say without a doubt that this version is excellent (8.5/10) as described. The dish comes with three pieces that are crispy and tender. However, they gotta make a better tartar sauce than the ones they served in packets. Also, we switched out chips for onion rings. They were fantastic! I also really enjoyed their French Onion Soup (8/10) and the Shepherds Pie (7.5/10). The soup was flavorful without being too salty like most restaurants, while the pie had relatively fluffy mash potato with tasty ground beef mixture. The only item that was a slight letdown was the Chicken Pot Pie (6/10). The puff pastry was decent and so was the cream sauce. The problem was the overcooked and dry chicken breast meat. Our server was very friendly and always had a smile on her face. Btw, even though the space was basically a dive bar, the energetic 60's and 70's music was definitely a plus. Therefore, I gave it a slightly higher score for decor. All in all, this was a great experience.

And that is why I boycotted them. Everything was very lax at that time, with little enforcement from the SLA. In October, my partner and I headed back to try their Irish breakfast and to see how things had improved. At the time, a large party was being held in their backroom, and we were not prepared to wait forever. We asked to speak with the owner, Mike Peacock, and told him we had to be at church to ring the church bells. We appreciated his dedication to getting us our food on time, but to be really honest, the Irish breakfast was not the best that could have been made.

Glad my friends took me here! It's very easy to miss this place. Right off of Metropolitan Avenue down 88th Street. If you didn't know about it already, you definitely wouldn't know it's there. The Q54 is just a few steps away. The space is HUGE! Really massive pub with a charming feel. They have different live music acts there most weekends. Check their social media to see who is playing in advance. Service is extremely attentive and friendly. The actual bar wraps around the front in a U shape. Plenty of room anywhere you go. So spacious. The music acts have a dedicated space on the left side when you first enter. Lots of booth and table seating in the front. The back was so immense. Lots of t.v.'s all over playing sports. You can tell lots of locals and regulars patronize this pub. Thr zucchini and mozzarella sticks were good. Most likely frozen but they were still yummy. For my entree I had the fish and chips for $20. The tartar sauce and batter on the fish was delicious. The lettuce and tomato on the plate was just an afterthought. The fries were kind of dry, but I loved that they gave me malt vinegar to go with them. They know what they're doing! They offer a wide variety of dishes. They have a sandwich board that they bring around to every table with the daily specials written on it. They do offer desserts but you have to ask what's available since they're not listed on the menu. I had the molten lava cake. It was my favorite part of the meal. Warm, gooey and tasty. Really hit the spot. When the bands start playing the vibe is just so fun and chill. I had a great time. Hope to come back soon!
