It was a great show with good music. The atmosphere was electric. The AC appeared to be broken which was unfortunate given the current heatwave. I was even more impressed with the performers performing in such humidity and heat. Though the performance was great, the quality of the food was unforgivably bad. I ordered the chicken and waffle. The fried chicken was good but I definitely had the worst waffle of my life. Even eggo waffles are a million times better. The waffle was flat without shape, bitter and burnt. I am still shocked that a restaurant thought they could serve waffles like that ever. The three of us ordered the same plate and none of us took more than a tiny bite. I would recommend coming for the show but please skip the waffle dish at all cost.

This place is a REALLY good time! The Kweens are so entertaining. They're funny, and great dancers. On my visit they actually entertained the full two hours we were there. They go hard and even bring the entertainment onto the sidewalk. Excellent work there! The venue itself is fairly narrow. We had a group of 20+ people and basically took up two thirds of the restaurant. It's all good though there was still a bit of space in terms of tables and the bar for walkins. Looking around at the walls, nooks and crannies, they did a good job of accessorizing the design elements. The Kween Throne by the bathrooms was a big hit! Meanwhile, I see some of the reviewers didn't like the food. I saw no issue with it. Actually, I thought the empanadas were great! I had the burger but I made the tactical error of eating too many chips with the guac appetizer. So I bagged half of the burger to go. Bottomless Brunch is always the go and I had an entire pitcher of bellini for myself since the rest of my section went with mimosas (tactical initiative regained). At this point, you're probably wondering where I pulled the stars from. Here's the deal: We were celebrating two (2) "birthday girls." One of them was in my section, at my table. No orders or drinks (including water) arrived at our table for 40+ minutes. The service timing varied very widely from table to table, within our 20 person section. Whether it was a large group or multiple small groups, the service needed to be more smooth and based off of who was seated first, etc. When you're hangry, 40 mins. is an eternity. In addition, our reservation was scheduled months in advance. They should've been ready with a strategy to cover the service for our section. Still, you should go if ever you get the chance! Consider keeping a snickers bar in your pocket if you have a similar delay in your initial food order.

Did drag brunch and it was SO fun! It's a bottomless brunch so expect less from the food and drink but it's exactly what Astoria needs - an extra dash of gay. The performances were 5/5 I couldn't believe how good it was. The wait staff was friendly and attentive despite us sitting in the back away from the action. Really looking forward to coming back here soon! Wishing Kween all the success and appreciate that they're supporting the gay culture in the Astoria. If you sit in the back there's a TV to help you see what's going on in the front in case you're missing it but the performers (10/10 job Freeda Kulo!!!) made sure they made their rounds through the bar and spread the love. My friends who came with me said they didn't expect to be so entertained and really enjoyed it!

Mayo anyone?

I so badly wanted to give a better review. The drag show was great and the queens gave 110%. I really enjoyed the experience despite the venue itself. Those queens got a big tip. They worked hard and they carry all the weight. The food was not good. I ordered the chilaquiles. It was bad. Basically nachos with no seasoning and no spice. Chilaquiles should be soggy and flavorful. Sauced! We had to ask for a sauce and after a long wait were given Cholula. It helped. But really ? Cholula? My husband ordered a chicken sandwich and he couldn't even eat the bun because of the heavy mayo application. He always eats the buns [sic]. The mimosas were off. Cheep champ with cheaper OJ. If you order bottomless, you stop caring after 3 glasses. Service was cute but slow. We got an initial flirtation and some attention but were then left on our own (and had to try our luck with the queens). The food and service alone would be a 1 or 1.5. Drag show boost this greatly. Thanks queens. Cooks: use salt.

This place was smaller that I thought, however, it was clean, it was colorful & fun! Went there for a birthday brunch and I was not disappointed!! The entertainment was super fun and enjoyed myself, the food came pretty quickly considering we were a party of 12!! Our waiters were super nice and friendly. This is LGBTQ+ friendly , so everyone welcomed! The appetizers were tasty specially the guacamole, the arepas were not my favorite but I think that's just a matter of preference. My main dish was delish! I had the egg benedict and it was perfect! The steak was also super tasty ,the prices were reasonable and overall it was a great place. Finding parking was a bit hectic so that's the only downside. Will deff be coming back!

I took my friend here for her first drag show and I was highly impressed, the bar is a little small but the Drag Queens make it WORKKKKK! Our servers were beyond amazing and attentive during the brunch and the food was amazing aswell I can't wait to bring more people to this spot!

Had the pleasure of enjoying this establishment on Mother's Day and had an amazing time. Staff were engaging and professional and the shoe was exceptional!!!!

Came here the Thursday before Manhattans pride and was super excited. There was a 2 for one special. I was beyond happy they had this cool instagram ready photo shoot area. I'm loving that the owner prides his baby dog in tons of photos. I also found out they have drag brunches I need to check that out. The service was absolutely amazing and a judgement free zone. I love these types of bars. The music was like throwback I think because it was a Thursday. I was having tons of fun. I'm definitely coming back here for brunch one night. Love my LGBTTQIA+ community you rock. Also their calamari was on point! Yassss Queen!

Had a great time at drag brunch, the staff was accommodating and so attentive. Food was great the only thing I didn't like was the calamari the texture was a little off. Everything else was delicious . Would def return for the show the general ambiance was high energy everyone came to have a good time. The place is a bit small but comfy.

I went for brunch with a few friends on a Saturday at 3pm. My friend who coordinated the brunch told us to bring singles, and I wasn't sure why, but it was for a drag show. It definitely was unlike any other brunches in the past and was a lot of fun (mature audiences). Moreover, I had the chicken and waffles, I forgot to take a picture of it, but it was good. It came with sweet butter and syrup which was too sweet for me but my friends said they liked it. We also shared the salad which was good but not too filling. I'll definitely visit again and highly recommend for a fun time

Went to see the 3:30 show on Sunday 4/28. THOSE QUEENS WERK HARD! Great food! Great show! Fun had by ALL! Many happy wishes for a long, lucrative life in ASTORIA!

This is by far my favorite drag brunch from start to finish. From the beautiful interior to the little touches. This is a pink paradise! I have never felt more welcome or a part of the family when going to a restaurant.The business deserves all of its flowers! The owners were in attendance and are some of the most gracious people. Without spoiling the show there were flips, splits, and tricks galore. The food was exceptional. Latin flavor and a new take on a tres leches cake!!! Delicioso!!! Frieda and Bianca were the hostesses with the mostess! Don't forget the chair in the back KWEENS!!!!

Loud, active, great music and great acts…read more This is a place you will miss if you are walking by too fast in the area. The one thing that you will notice is the sign from the outside and an occasional group of people outside. The service is good and the drinks are well made. Deff come here if you want to enjoy loud music and just get a pump for the night.

I came and excited to have a really nice experience. As someone who's queer myself I was really…read moreexcited to finally check out this bar. I go in and the bar is packed, which is a great sign. However, ordering a drink, of course in a packed bar is really hard. I had my jacket over a chair and someone was sitting on it and I didn't make a big deal out of it. So I sat on the chair next to mine. Again, just trying to order a drink. The person who had their stuff on the chair comes back and instead of it being between me and this person it turns into two more people jumping in on me upset that I'm sitting on someone else's chair. The bartender then gets in on it, and he starts being rude and yelling at everybody, but more so me because he was friends with the other people. Then me and the guy are laughing and making up and talking. And he comes back and yells at us again. This time for no reason. Screaming out of the top of his lungs. Needless to say I never got to replace my drinks. And I never got to see if it was a good bar because I was being yelled at by the bartender and other people. Was in there for maybe 15-20 mins. Really awful experience and it was the bartender with short black hair. Hopefully he learns to actually be kinder. Definitely didn't feel like a safe space
