This is a cute mom and pop establishment......it is VERY small inside ......and not like it appears on social media......it is on a corner of a side street and is a store front with an apartment building on top.... it is SMALL. NEVERTHELESS I enjoyed my experience.....I went with my 6 year old daughter whi has now labeled this as one of her favorite places......the waitstaff was extremely pleasant food was good and served in no time.......I personally did not find the place to be over priced at all. I will say this is a spot you to go for a quick bite...munchies....not a "meal"..... I will most definitely return when in the area....

Cookies & Cream Milkshake
Tamiko B.

The plan was to drop my daughter off to meet her friends. The three out of four of us ordered. She was awaiting their arrival for a new table (we sat at a four-top). A booth opened and I requested it for my daughter and her friends. The couple at the table behind us were moved to the booth as the girls stood by our four-top. After an extended conversation with the.Manager , the girls were moved to the booth. My spouse felt the Cuban could have been more flavorful. My younger daughter enjoyed the milkshake (not up to Sugar Factory) but enjoyable. Communication is key!

I tired the Oxtail with rice & peas absolutely delicious   full of flavors.  The meat was tender.

The girls that work there very polite and helpful with explaining the menu and some things I didn't see on yelp pictures.. The food portions was great really favorable well prepared. Nice little comfortable place. I know it's an upgraded fast food place but the steak &rice oxtail & rice sooo.. good. Great wings sauces and great garlic wings, potato tots.

It was my first time going to Jenavies Cafe and I must say that I left very satisfied. The food was amazing, but their milkshake was even better ! Their menu offers different Hispanic food like Patacón, Cuban sandwich, fritura, yaroa, bistec, empanadas, tacos and so much more. I don't remember but they have about 5 or 6 different milkshakes which all look yummy ! The place isn't huge, but I highly recommend people to make their way if you find yourself by Throgneck. It is a little pricey, but so worth it.

I love this place! This is your typical small cafe where you can get solid food for lunch or dinner. It definitely can get busy here. There are about a handful of tables here. You can order at the counter and sit down too. At least I could the last time I was there. They have all sorts of food here. Everything I had was so good. I enjoyed it a lot. I had the mac and cheese, dominican sliders and buffalo wings. Every city needs a place like Jenavies cafe where you can get really good food and feel at home. I would definitely come back. My only issues are that it's very tight inside and parking is almost impossible to find regularly. Other than that, I highly recommend you stop in this hidden gem in the Bronx.

The inside of Jenavies

We had the $44 platter and this is what it looks like. The food is amazingly delicious and fulfilling. Their milkshakes is to die for u can get it to go or to stay. Their interior is super unique and picture worthy. The bathroom is even cute and u know thats hard to say

three cupcakes with different toppings

I just happened to be walking by and decided to try it. This place is a combination of a heart attack and a sugar coma. I truly don't know what I was getting, I just simply wanted thee milkshakes. I only took one taste and knew that i wouldn't be able to finish it, the guilt of having a sugar over those was overwhelming. I really think their concept is great, but what about adding some basic shakes to the menu? Some basic shakes with a couple of optional add ons. I also order some chicken tenders with bacon fries...very tasty, but seriously greasy!! So 3 shakes and a chicken tender and two pastelitos total was $78!!!! I was in absolute shock... The only good thing about my experience was the young lady that took my order. She was very attentive and polite. I truly love supporting local businesses but I don't think I will ever go back, unnecessarily pricey and the menu does provide healthier choices.

Chicken chunks (top); steak and onions (bottom)
Tina M.

Had this place bookmarked for months and decided to visit when PB said he wanted a fancy milkshake. I ordered the steak and onions and he had the fries chicken chunks. Everything was delicious. I dis ask for steak sauce b4 I tasted my food but immediately understood why they didn't have any... it's not needed at all. I only ate half my plate because I had to save room for my Reese's lover milkshake. I'm super glad I did. There were Reese's pieces, whipped cream, a pretzel and tons of candy bits in the shake itself. Yum yum YUM!

Famous Platter

We ordered one of the shareable platters. It had wings, sliders, pastelitos, and fries. Everything was delicious! The platter brought enough food to eat there and take home. The waiter was very attentive and pleasant during our dining experience. They also feature a beautiful sunroom in the back of the restaurant where they host private events! Definitely worth checking this place out.

It was a vibe, music and service was on point! The food was so delicious My Family Loved it and we will definitely be back

Platter #4

My boyfriend and I have been dying to try this place and it did NOT disappoint! We ordered platter #4 along with the Cinnamon Toast Crunch and cookies and cream milkshakes. The portions were huge and well worth the price. The waitress was so polite and the wait time was super short. 10/10 recommend. We will be back!

Patacón, chicken nuggets , sliders and mofongito
Amy C.

Nice place! Was not crowded . Food was ok, nothing to brag about.. we mainly came for the shakes which are awesome they are not exactly as they picture them though. Might come back just for the shakes .

Cici B.

Not worth it at all. We drove up to NY just to eat dinner. I can say they accommodated us even though we walked in right at closing which is why they get two stars other than that NO. The service horrible. They took over 15 minutes to even say hi or acknowledge us once we sat. Then we get our order taken and it took awhile to come out. When we got our food it was typical and nothing special. They forgot the cheese for the cheese fries and we asked them for some and they said we don't have anymore. Even though this was part of our order. We asked for other items which they forgot to give us and the young boy looked at us crazy and just kept walking. No apology no nothing for the bad service, messing up our order, and quality. We finally got our shakes which where made to go without asking us and it was so plain and something I could make at home. Never again!

EXCELLENT, Just GREAT Pizza!! Stumbled onto this place a few weeks back on the site of the old…read moreRonnie's. They are AWESOME! Friendly as can be, and the food is great. The pizza is simply delicious. No stupid trophies in the window claiming to be the best, no nonsense, just great delicious pizza. You can tell from the first bite that the ingredients are fresh and the cheese is premium because when it melts it does NOT turn into oil! My kids are picky but they would eat the pizza every day if I brought it for them. I usually order through "Yelp!" and have no issues, even the delivery guys are courteous and nice! By the slice or by the pie, you're nuts if you don't try this place! It does tend to get a little crowded right after school, but never rowdy and I would rather come here and give my children fresh pizza than that crap they serve at McDonald's! Did I mention the rainbow ice's? Just GREAT!!!

During my visit,…read moreone of the delivery drivers, Richard, made comments toward me that felt inappropriate and unprofessional. What was especially disappointing is that this interaction occurred in front of the manager. I expressed that I felt uncomfortable, but the situation was not addressed. As a nearby resident, I should be able to enter a local business without feeling uneasy. Because of this experience and the lack of response from management, I do not feel comfortable returning. I hope ownership takes customer concerns more seriously in the future.

City Island Diner is one of those beloved neighborhood staples you return to again and again for…read moresolid, homestyle cooking. It has that classic diner setup - think stools at the counter, a full view of the flattop, and all the comforting sounds and smells of breakfast being made. I love grabbing a front row seat for breakfast and a show. They serve the best Bloody Mary in the Throggs Neck/City Island/Pelham Bay area. Honestly, it's a bit of a shame that they're the only spot around here doing it right -- freshly made, well-balanced, and packed with flavor. But I'm glad they've cornered the market, because it gives me another reason to keep coming back. The food consistently hits the mark, always hot, fresh, and satisfying. I've been here countless times, but on our most recent visit, we stopped in for lunch. We had a burrito filled with carne asada (generous and flavorful), and the pork and broccoli rabe hero. And let me tell you, that pork sandwich was elite. If you ever spot it on the menu, don't think twice. Order it. (Or don't, so there's more for me.) The service is always on point, attentive without being overbearing. The staff achieve a great balance and are always happy to help. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or just a killer Bloody Mary, City Island Diner delivers every time.

Great specials! Always great service!!…read moreGreat bloodys! Love the charming classic countertop diner! We will def be back! Cheers!
