    Tater Tots
    Gordon Y.

    Cuisine: 9 Service: 8 Decor: 7 Value: 9 Overall: 9 Just a really solid local bar to enjoy some good food while watching a game. When they first remodeled from a specialty sandwich shop to a craft beer pub, I was quite disappointed. Now I can't get my favorite chopped cheese or sriracha egg sandwich in the neighborhood anymore. However, I come to realize that having a dependable spot for an excellent burger is a pretty nice too. They do a great classic smash burger with a crispy crust and juicy beef. The toppings are always fresh and the bread is extremely fluffy. While the brioche bun is delicious, I may have a slight preference for the sesame seed bun of the Stack Mac. You really can't go wrong with any of their burger offerings. Obviously, a pub needs some tasty fried foods to go with their nice selection of craft beers. Thankfully, they do. The tater tots and onion rings are both really fantastic. Only thing currently still needs a bit of work is their chicken wings. Not bad for roasted wings, but I wish they were fried. During playoff season, I have come watched games while enjoying their offerings. It's never too busy, which makes it perfect for me. This little craft bar is definitely a hidden gem and I'm happy by me.

    Great variety of beer in the fridge and on tap. Local brews along with domestic and international. loved the variety of Finback beer as the brewery is in the area. It's a beer hall first of all and some nice simple meal items. Go for the smash burger and tots are the standouts. Juicy and well made.

    Great beer bar with some board games if you want to get competitive. The beer is in the fridge, you can grab and pay at the counter, they also have some on draft. Their mozzarella sticks were great. My group had a lot of fun sharing beers and kicking butt at UNO.

    Crispy Chicken Sandwich
    Krista M.

    Stopped by here twice within a week, because we enjoyed it so much the first time. It's a great space to come and have a beer and some food in a relaxed setting. On a weekday, for lunch, it was empty and on a Sunday late afternoon there were a few tables taken. They specialize in craft beer and there are lots of options. Draft beer available are located on the TV screed across from the refrigerators. The refrigerators are filled with tons of options by the can which you can enjoy there or buy to take home. Both the Nitro Stout and the Czech Style Dark Stout were great You can order at the counter, take a seat and everything will be brought to you along with a bottle of water. The food is quite good. The crispy chicken sandwich was piled high with crispy chicken. The Cheesy Bacon Tots, were so delicious, melty cheese, crispy tots and bacon with cherry peppers and garlic aioli..they totally hit the spot. The Chopped Cheese was good and enjoyable albeit a bit messy. The wings were meaty and had great flavor, but could have been crispier. The fries are excellent. Give me a beer and some of those fries and I'd be very happy. It's a great neighborhood place, that I wish I had visited sooner.

    The Local Mkt got an upgrade in a major way and I'm so here for it!!! Now instead of a deli it's a full on eatery. I used to always get my chopped cheese sandwiches from here but now I go for the wings. They still have a large collection of beers but the menu has changed up a bit. They have wine on tap too. I highly recommend the mushroom truffle burger it's so cheesy and I'm just a fan of both items. Now if you are not a fan of either of those things , try another cheese burger or get into the wings!!! The lemon pepper wings here were the best I've had. They have weekly specials and are closed on Mondays. Definitely come out , watch a game, play some games (they have cards and board games available), grab a beer (or 3) and enjoy this chill Queens spot! Shout out to the team that works here! They work hard to get everyone their food out hot and quickly.

    (Update: PLEASE GO BACK TO THE REGULAR SMASH BURGER. The burger I had yesterday with a Kaiser roll is not a smash burger. It's a bready nightmare that steals the flavor away. In fact there's nothing worse on a burger than that giant roll. Being told it's better does not make it better. lol. I ate the meat yesterday (good meat, but not smashed or crispy), but left the bread. PLEASE TELL ME YOU'll go back to the original. I want to go back!) I recently discovered local eatery and craft beer to my delight because it filled the gap that's missing in this neighborhood, a great smash burger. The rest of the food is actually quite good especially the dry rub wings. And they have a great selection of beer but need more soda choices. Like Coke Zero!! lol. Service is fast and friendly, and the place is relaxing!

    Great selection of beer and eats. The service was excellent. The smashburger is really good. Quiet and very local. Great place to catch a game or live music.

    A great spot in the Forest Hills area! I was craving a burger and I saw this on yelp and came by! They have a variety of different beers on tap and in the fridge. They have a good amount of seating if you want to order some food, they have a variety of different kinds of food to order from wings, burgers, sandwiches, appetizers, salad and more! The staff is super friendly and helpful! They also have TVs so you can watch a game while drinking a cold beer ! I definitely will be returning to try the wings!

    Truffle Mushroom Burger
    Mishbah M.

    Was looking for a quick smash burger in the area and found this spot. Intimate and cozy, the place is dimly lit with good music playing. Service was top-notch. Since it's a small space, the server is also the cashier and bartender. But he did not disappoint and was keen to addressing all our needs. Food was good. Got the double classic with onion rings and truffle mushroom with fries. Double classic: 7.5/10 Truffle mushroom: 6.5/10 I was a bit dissapointed, felt that it could've been better Onion rings: 6/10 couldve been a better batter, and did not come with sauce ( i asked for chipotle mayo on the side) Overall would come here again, it's a good spot for a cheap burger and drinks.

    Awesome double mushroom burger!

    Came in while in town for a couple of days and loved it! The restaurant is small but clean and has a nice vibe to it. Simple, industrial feel is a good description. The service was good, although it's not table service - you have to go to the bar to order food. Having said what - it's not a big deal. The guy at the bar was very nice and he quickly offered tasters if the beers they have on draft. Once you order, they do bring the meal out to your table. I sat inside but they also had 2 outside tables. The burger I had was AWESOME!! I can eat and the double mushroom Swiss burger was all I could handle along with the fries (the fries were good, not great). They only have a limited draft selection. It was only 4 beers the day I came in, but they had 5 large fridges with a huge variety of cans of all styles from all over. It might be small, but in my opinion - they delivered big. If I'm back this way; I'll be back.

    Reuben Sandwich
    Brie F.

    We initially wanted sandwiches from Stacked however they weren't delivering to our area because they were closing in 53 minutes. We're not far from them so I didn't understand why they couldn't complete the order. I had this place bookmarked and decided to order our sandwiches from here. This is an actual market that sells grocery items, serves breakfast all day, has a deli, and essential items for your everyday needs. The menu consists of fresh juices, fresh smoothies, all day breakfast sandwiches, all day breakfast burritos, omelet platters, griddle specialties, fries, fried raviolis, mozzarella sticks, totchos, tater tots, jalapeño poppers, hash browns, chicken fingers, wings, jumbo grilled cheese sandwiches, craft chicken sandwiches, craft signature sandwiches, wraps, Angus beef burgers, salads, pastries, candy, beverages and chips. My hunny had The Reuben on a hero and I had a Chopped Cheese on a hero with Beer Battered Onion Rings. We both loved our sandwiches. My chopped cheese would've been even better if it had sautéed onions on it sans the lettuce and tomatoes. Unfortunately, I could not make any changes via Uber Eats. The onion rings were bomb although they were a tad oily.

    Disclaimer: This review is based off one visit. My family and i went here on a Friday night around 7:30. They were pretty busy. Every table was taken. I ordered a few different things to try. Lori ann - Delicious. Me personally i would prefer more salami over turkey, more dressing and more lettuce. But overall it was a good sandwich Cheeseburger - I didnt realize that when i ordered it, it was going to be two patties. I did not read the description. However this burger was delicious. And i'm not a burger person. So this means a lot. Cheesy bacon tots - Super yummy. Not to mention big portion. And they were not stingy with the toppings! Chicken fingers - i mean it's chicken fingers. But these aren't the small ones that are just batter. These were yummy. And they were not stingy with the honey mustard! Mozzarella sticks - Just your ordinary mozzarella. I would however prefer for the marinara sauce to be warmed up. The service was great too. I do have to note the food took longer then we expected. But it was well worth the wait. We will be back!

    The supremo sandwich
    Krystal Lynn L.

    I'm so happy that I stumbled upon this place! I've been living in the area for three years now and I've been dying to find a new local eatery. I have to say that I'm so excited that I found this gem! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming when I walked in and the music was on point. I immediately knew that I would love it because of the vibe. Another plus was the wide range of craft beers that they had. I love craft beer so when I saw the beer selection I was sold! They feature beers from local breweries across the boroughs. You can order your food and pick any beer from the fridge while you wait for your food to come out. Now on to the best part of this place which is obviously the food. My fiancé and I shared a loaded bacon tots appetizer. It was a BIG portion size! You can definitely share it between 2-3 people. We also shared the Supremo sandwich and it was to die for. It was a loaded, stacked sandwich with the freshest cherry peppers. It had a perfect amount of spice and it tasted incredibly fresh. I cannot wait to come back and try every item on the menu. Thank you to the owners and the staff of this wonderful gem.

The drinks were on point and the food was delicious! Their menu is more finger foods and decent bites if you plan to drink. I would like to see 1 or 2 more food menu items added but everything we had was very very good. We had the sampler and it was perfect for us. The DJ was everything! The music was so good. Old school early 2000's hip hop and r&b. But I hear on any given night, the music goes to the vibe of the crowd. The service was fantastic. We had everything we needed and the wait staff was attentive. I will absolutely be coming back here! They have great happy hour during the weekdays and a brunch I want to check out. 10/10 so far.

Warning it can be pretty loud as I had to yell to talk to my friends. My main con and suggestion for improvement is the tables and chairs. The chairs are really small so it might not be comfortable for most. Also, our table was very wobbly so we moved to another one and that one ended up being wobbly too. I'm hoping they can change them as it will help the comfort of the guests. On a good note, I liked the service! The waitress was nice but I believe there was a busser who was attentive and respectful towards us!

I got there early to snag a table, and the team was already hard at work with nearly the entire beergarden packed with fans. The hostess Jenna was an absolute rockstar all night - I don't think she stopped moving or smiling! Not only was she seating guests with poise and insane amounts of charm, but she was also running food and drinks to make sure guests weren't waiting for their orders - in fact, despite there being more than 250 people in the beergarden, we never waited more than 4 minutes for drinks and 12 minutes for food which is pretty impressive given how busy they were inside and outside. We were served by Lana, who legit might have been the nicest, friendliest, most engaging server I have ever met in New York City, and I am not being overly dramatic here. She handled her insanely large section with aplomb, took the time to actually learn our names and address us by names when asking if we wanted to order anything, checked in on us every few minutes even if we did not need anything, and despite likely being tired from all of the guests, the running of food and drinks, and the hustling, she was cracking jokes all night through her radiant and starry smile, and making our group feel like the most important people there despite the fact that we were just three regular dudes enjoying a basketball game. Her attentiveness and personality alone are worth requesting to sit in her section at all times. Food was solid on this trip - our table ordered a half-pound burger which was cooked and seasoned perfectly (came with fries and toppings), mozzarella sticks which were piping hot with a nice crunch on the exterior, waffle fries (had to get them again they were too good last trip), and honey BBQ wings, which although they weren't very meaty (not their fault since I am assuming they didn't butcher the wings in-house - could have just been a lean batch from the supplier), the sauce was addictive and delicious and I found myself dipping everything we ordered into it so it wouldn't go to waste - order the Honey BBQ! All beers came out cold and rapidly (Cobblestones uses plastic for half liter beers when the beergarden is saturated with guests, just be prepared for that - makes sense because of the volume). The rest of the staff was incredible given the chaos. Beergarden manager Pete made it a point to check in on us a couple of times and was very appreciative of all of the guests coming for the game, and you can tell he steers the ship effectively because everyone in the beergarden was focused, attentive, and in the zone during what many bars would be challenged to handle. One final thought - my two friends who came with me (who are NOT "let's go out drinking at night" type of guys) asked me when we are coming back for a Friday or Saturday night - they loved the atmosphere, loved the friendly service from Lana, and loved the food and drinks. The answer? very soon! Thank you Cobblestones!
