Surprisingly amazing! We came here for after brunch drinks and to our surprise, this place was absolutely amazing! For a location in college point in a sort of hidden inside a block, our expectation was not high. However, the ambience, service and drinks were delicious. They even had hookah to top it off! Will absolutely return! read more

Mr. Dre Kitchen Bar - This is the flan cheesecake..... sooooo yum! - Bars Near Me - College Point, New York

I can't base the full review, since our group didn't eat at the restaurant. We came to this establishment to have some drinks and then realized they also had hookah. This is a great little spot to go to for celebrations (the 8 of us came on Cinco De Mayo). The service was spot on, as we were attended to with any questions or concerns. If you are in the mood for hookah, this is one of the best spots in Queens to go to. read more

I had dinner plans for a Friday, so I asked a coworker for a spot to visit in Queens, so I visited Mr. Dre's Kitchen Bar at his suggestion. The parking lot in the back is not for the restaurant, don't get towed. It's a pretty small spot, and it was pretty empty, besides an obnoxiously loud group near where we were seated. It reminds me of a garage for some reason. I found myself wondering why my coworker recommended this spot. The menu didn't look like anything special, typical mix of Latin American dishes. Turns out it was happy hour, which meant 2 for 1 drinks. We got a few mojitos and they were pretty strong. We got a fried meat platter as an appetizer and I got the pork chops. She didn't like it much cuz the majority of the menu was fried. I like fried food, but I found everything to be pretty average. The total bill for two entrees, an appetizer, and four drinks came out to $90, the tip automatically included. That is kinda ridiculous considering happy hour is 2 for 1 drinks. I'm also displeased that the gratuity was automatically added on a table of two. Eh, not sure if I wanna come back here. read more

I had to write a new review because the quality of this place has changed. Everything is extremely overpriced and the waitresses are not very friendly. It was a busy night and there were only two waitresses but not once did they pass by to check on the table until I had to literally get up and get their attention. When I told the waitress that no one had come by to check on our table, she responded rudely, what do you want? Not even an "I'm sorry". The drinks were super light and barely had any alcohol. We ordered a mini picada as an appetizer which consists of different meats, fried cheese and plantain. The meat was practically burned. The only good thing on that plate was the cheese and plantain. My friend and I ordered a steak medium which are almost $36 each. When we got our meal, it was tough and overcooked. We had already waited a long time for the food and the fact that it needed to be returned again was annoying. The waitress told me that technically they are suppose to charge for the plate we returned since they are remaking the steak but she would take care of it. Never in my life have I heard of being charged for a plate that was prepared incorrectly to start with. When we finally got our food, our mash potatoes were cold. At this point, we were so hungry so we just ate it. To top off the whole experience, we waited almost 30 minutes for the bill. They added 18 percent gratuity after that terrible service. When I asked the waitress to remove the gratuity, she looked at me all confused and told me I needed to be understanding that it is busy. I'm am very understanding but when a waitress is rude and unapologetic, I am not understanding. Highly disappointed, do not recommend and will not be returning. read more

Came here last night for some drinks and dinner, was super pleased with the experience. We got there a little early, so the place wasn't packed. The drinks were delicious! Definitely hit the spot. The Mr Dre burger was huge and delicious. The chimi was on point and really large for only $6. The only complaint is that the chicken teriyaki was a bit on the saltier side. Aside from drinks and food they also have hookah and a DJ so the place is definitely popping on a Saturday night. Worth the visit! read more

Save yourself from coming here, waitresses steal and on top of that give you horrible service. The ambiance is the only good thing. You can get better service drinks and food at either of the Colombian spots like delicias or mr Mario! As well as mangu which is the same owner the costumer service is horrible, and you'll get an attitude with your order. read more

I went to Mr. Dre's last Sunday with a few of my friends for the first time! I have been trying to get here for the past year and the stars finally lined up. I arrived by myself and started off with a beef chimi sandwich for brunch with French Fries. I washed that down with a few lagunitas IPA's before switching to henny sangrias. This is where my relaxing afternoon started to get crazy lol. My next surprise is that a hookah came out for another table! Now I was hooked and I couldn't leave . Hookah , a few refills and henny sangria I was there half the afternoon. The food was very good. The drinks were very good and above all , the owner and all of the staff were very nice people . If this wasn't enough for Sunday funday... I left for a few hours ran a few errands and returned for dinner ... the same day!!!! read more

please don't ever go to this place! i went with my friend, 2 of us and they charged 18% on the bill and when the bill came back it doesn't even show they charged that. So, if one is drunk you will probably drop more on the tip. I don't mind paying the tip if the service was good but waitress on the facetime and phone calls; i felt like casper!... and the nerve to ask for tip after she as me what i want to drink and walked away to talk to some guy...what great service! btw food went down hill cus its legit TRASH! read more

I was going to the movies nearby with some girlfriends and decided to come here for an early dinner and drinks. I was super excited after all the great reviews on Yelp. The place wasn't crowded there were only about 4 tables full. We placed on our orders, I went with the pollito (chicken breast stuffed with chorizo and sweet plantains) with a side of mash potatoes. My food was delicious and a good portion. It was happy hour which is always great so I had the coconut and guava sangria. Both flavors lack a lot of flavor and alcohol. Now the reason I wouldn't come back was the service. I still don't know who our server was and the two waitresses seem more interested and concern with the table next to us. It looked like the guys on that table were their friends so they were just hanging out chatting with them instead of doing their job. read more

I've lived in College Point for almost 17 years now, but this was the first time I've ever eaten at Mr. Dre's Kitchen Bar. It was a very pleasant experience as well! I made a reservation for 2 for 6pm, and even though we were 15 minutes late, they did not turn down our reservation. It's a small restaurant with plenty of tables as well as a bar in the back. The bar was fully stocked and it seemed like they were able to make many drinks. My friend and I got the Chicken Nachos for the appetizer, Empanadas and the pork chop with rice and beans. The chicken nachos were very good. They did not skimp on the toppings, which I appreciate, and it was very flavorful. The pork chop was a bit salty, and the beans were a bit too watery but the rice and plantains were very flavorful. The servers kept on refilling our water and they checked how we were doing and they were very nice and patient with us. We stayed for nearly 2 hours and not once did anyone rush us. They start playing music at around 8pm or so (I could be wrong though- I wasn't really paying attention to the time). Overall, this is a great place. I would definitely come again! Tip: I called to ask if they accepted credit cards, and they do! But I would still bring cash just in case. Side Note: The bathrooms don't have mirrors. read more

This place was a pleasant treat! At 1st, maybe because it was late and a tad chilly out no one was around. The place looked sketchy but upon entering thru the curtains in the doorway it's a cute place. I took a friend here and we both were thinking.... hmmmm don't let the Lyft guy leave but the bar was nice to look at. We ordered some kind of sangria with Jack Daniels, I love dark liquor, my friend not so much, but he enjoyed it. Then we got the spinach dip appetizer. We couldn't stop eating it! Like sir we need some more chips please??!!! So we looked at each other and then further at the menu. Let me just tell y'all, the linguine with chicken was just short of over the rainbow! I was so shocked at the taste of the food. My mate said the pork chops were delicious as well. I am thoroughly glad that I found this place. Chances are slim that I'll be back soon, however we both have agreed it's worth coming back. read more

I am usually skeptical with photos and little hole in the wall places, but Mr Dre's was very impressive. The food was soooo good and the music was nice. Definitely would go back for another drink and meal. read more

Ordered the chirrasco w/ veggies Medium Rare, it came Well Done & The steak had NO FLAVOR, it's skirt steak there should be some kind of flavor! It just tasted charred. $40 later, I gave half to my dog. I'll go elsewhere for the easiest steak there is to make. read more

I've order from the restaurant so many times the food is ok but they are thieves when you order something online . I ordered a meal and they upcharged an appetizer order to an extra $20 so an appetizer was charged as $35 this is not a 5 star restaurant or upscale at all it's a little hole in the wall restaurant on a dirty block with no parking . I've order the same thing many times and this never happened I think because they are low on customers they're trying to change the prices but that's so sneaky I wouldn't go back there and wouldn't recommend anyone else eating there . read more

Juana is everything from the door. Her personality is such a vibe then you add Rahdames to the mix and fall back in your chair!! The food is so good, hot and fresh. Juana keeps the drinks strong and good and Rahdames accommodates all dietary restrictions including no carbs (sushi with no rice) for one of the people in our party!! Overall just a chill spot to come with friends, family or large group (not for kids). read more

Came in on a Thursday night, I ordered spicy Chicken wings as an appetizer, I couldn't eat it cause it tasted bad. When I walked out of here and got home, I felt very sick had high fever, vomiting and Diarrhea. I believe it was the chicken... I got food poisoning. For the owners please check on your cook how are they preparing the food in the kitchen, Because next time it could be something serious and could really harm someone. read more

Me and my friend went here sat down The place had no air conditioning? Like it was so hot outside... it was to uncomfortable to even stay and we left. I don't understand how a restaurant doesn't have air conditioning. The vibe is off to, the drink menu didn't look good. Don't recommend read more

I came with a Hispanic ex and they only spoke to him. I didn't mind until I asked a question and they turned to him and explained in Spanish for him to re-explain to me. After some awkward borderline rude service, they made us wait forever for our food (which was just okay), then hit us with 15% gratuity. Definitely a bad experience! The reviews about the workers slacking off and pretending nothing is wrong... yep, that's what happens with automatic tip. read more

Note: cash only! Do make sure your pockets have something other than cards in them. So this place is definitely a hidden gem in this area. When I stepped inside, the decor and seating, to (my surprise) was modern mixed with a kind of rustic theme. It was beautiful and fun at the same time! There were pretty, colorful lights and even speakers in the lights above us (very cool). Our waiter was super helpful and friendly. When we ordered our drinks our friend noticed her drink was virgin (not what she asked for). Our waiter apologized and quickly fixed the problem! She was awesome. The food was really good! The wings (sticky) were to die for. Would definitely recommend for a nice dinner or lunch!! Note x2: after 10PM this music gets louder and people tend to dance a bit, tables are moved. read more

Arrived to the restaurant around 7pm and was seated immediately. There wasn't much ppl at the time. I didn't realize this free check in sangria was only from Tuesday to Thursday but my waiter allowed me to get it anyways! Yay!!! I had the churrasco with chimichurri, it was so good, With a side of fried plantains. The ambiance is nicely decorated and the music was good. They played old school and new school. I heard a Britney Spears song lol. read more

Mr Dres is fairly new to the College Point area and a nice addition I might say. There are a bunch of fast casual and very few sit down Latin/Hispanic restaurants along the strip but imo they stand out. The exterior is different, it being all black makes it look a bit blah during the day but at night that changes. Equipt with icicle lights, a bright sign and straw thatching on one side of the roof you can't drive by without wondering what's inside. The interior is just as unique with stand out pieces like rocks held together with coop fencing along the bottom of bar, the intricacy of the paneled ceiling and color changing lights along the walls. The entire restaurant took 3 months to complete and everything was designed and put together by the owner himself. The vibe is fun, they have great music playing in the background from Top 40 to MJ to techno (a live Dj plays certain nights). Based on Yelp videos and word from the staff it gets poppin in there. We walked in and were greeted by the best waiter ever, Jonathan! He was mad cool, informative, helpful and handsome...all that you want your waiter to be and then some! Very personable and kept the drinks flowing all night. On my first visit we experienced the Brunch scene and I wasnt blown away by the food options but the drinks were amazeballs! I really enjoyed the mango sangria but wanted to try one of the other 11 flavors they offered. Jonathan allowed me to sample four different flavors; coconut, guava, pineapple and the Mr.Dres signature which has Jack daniels and passion fruit. I ended up going with guava first round, it was fruity but not too sweet, then mango which is perfection! and finished off the night with the Mr. Dres (wasted!! Lol). Their menu is a bit red meat heavy offering only two seafood entrees and two ceviches but we were able to still enjoy a full meal. My bestie and I had stared at pictures of the mariquitas so we were looking forward to trying that and I wanted to try their empanadas. The presentation of the mariquitas was cool with plantain and yucca chips fanned out around a delicious mound of guac. The chips were crispy and fresh and the guac had chopped onions and tomatoes on top Yummy! The dough of the empanadas were delicious and soft with each one filled to capacity, no empty shell over here. The spinach and cheese had golden raisins baked in which was different, it added a nice contrast in flavor. Based off the managers suggestion I ordered the linguini with shrimp, peas, carrots and grape tomatoes in a creamy mushroom garlic sauce. The serving was large, enough for two to share. They dont skimp on the shrimp and they were large in size but slightly overdone; the sauce was creamy goodness though and everything meshed well. Jonathan informed us of a special they were offering; Tilapia with red sauce, chickpeas and olives with a side of white rice and black beans. The filets were thick and stewed to perfection and the accompanying red sauce was finger Iicking good. Theres no dessert menu but we were offered their bread pudding. It comes with dulce de Leche sauce and ice cream but we were way too stuffed to indulge anymore. Definitely going to get that on my next visit in. All in all this is a great spot for drinks, take advantage of all 12 sangria flavors, meat lovers come on down as I heard their churrasco is amazeballs and seafood lovers get that damn tilapia, you won't regret it. See you again soon Mr. Dres. read more

First Yelp Elite to review this place. Three stars because there's more room for improvement. Mr. Dre Kitchen/Bar is a hot new hip spot in Whitestone, Queens. Took the drive from Ozone Park to check this place out after I saw a segment about it in a Spanish network, as soon as I arrived to Dre Kitchen/Bar a DJ was playing some Latin hits and the boyfriend and I were seated right away. They don't have a drink menu but we were told they have a full bar and their specialty are the 9 flavors of sangria that they make fresh daily. I have no problems with the waiter telling us what they carry but on a Friday night where a dj is pumping up the volume it's hard to grasper all the information, I would've love to see a drink menu for a more ease of mind choice. I couldn't remember most of the choices but I chose one of my favorite fruits and ended up with choosing the guava sangria. For appetizers we got the beef arepas which were delicious and the right amount. For entrée I got the Pollito dish, chicken thigh stuffed with chorizo and maduros on a garlic mushroom sauce that came with white rice and black beans, I would recommend that this dish is better with mashed potatoes. My boyfriend got the mango sauce ribs that also came with rice and beans, again this dish would've work out better with anything but rice and beans. The waitress seemed nervous; I'm assuming it was her first week and that's why she told us that our dishes only comes with rice and beans and forgot to mention that they had side dishes for $5. When it was time for some dessert, again there was no menus so we were told the items over the pumping music, we were so stuffed from everything that we opted out for some sweets. Overall I wish I can give this place more stars since their food dishes are really good minus the rice and beans situation and I loved their guava sangria but this new spot needs more improvement with better service and I would love to see a bar and dessert menu, this place is great for a date night but not a first date because it will be hard to communicate over the music. Decor is very unique and I loved how it's modernized with an old-school vibe to it. I would come back but to try their Sunday brunch menu. read more

I used to come here religiously last summer but after my most recent experience I'm not sure I'll be back. I made a reservation for 20 ppl for my graduation dinner. I called the restaurant like twice the week before & no one answered. It sounded like a generic cell phone voicemail so I didn't want to leave a message. No biggie. I went in & made the reservation. The day of my party was like the only ones there. The service was great, the food was really good & the music was on point. Howeverrrr the reason I'm upset is because first off the portions were SOO tiny compared to before. Me & a couple of other people ordered churrasco & it was the smallest piece ever & it only comes included with one side. I got garlic mash & it was the tiniest spoonful. The bill at the end of the night rang up about $600 for only 2 sangria pitchers & these tiny dishes. In all the times I've been to dres I had never spent that much even with a lot of people. I heard they recently changed management which might be why they raised prices. My uncle tried to order 2 dishes (muscles & then lambchops) & they told him they ran out of both. Meanwhile they open at 5 & we were the only ones there. read more

I am sorry to be the first to break the five star review train, but the brunch I just had was not a five star experience. The staff IS amazing though. Very pleasant, professional and kept our beverages filled. Unfortunately the food just fell flat. Between the three of us, my friends and I had pancakes, a stir fried chicken dish and a egg topped burger with plantains. The burger was top notch! Juicy beef, a great contrast with a fried plantain and an ooey gooey egg. Each bite was a treat! The fries were thick and crisp too. It started to go down hill with the chicken. It was really plain with no real flavor. $10 for basically a handful of chicken and another $7 for a plate of romaine lettuce shreds since I couldn't sub out the rice with a salad. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't very good. Our meal hit rock bottom with the pancakes. If you are going to put pancakes on a brunch menu, they should be some delicious pancakes. What we got instead were three small, hard and flat discs. Honestly I could have made a better batch with some Bisquick! We had one bite and didn't touch the waste of $9 after that. On top of the mediocre food, the wait to get the food was really long. Around thirty minutes when we were the only customers when we ordered and only two other tables came in long after we had placed our orders. A shout out to the delicious guava mimosas, rockin' DJ and the many large monitors playing miscellaneous sporting events :) Definitely check them out for a drink, but the food is definitely hit or miss. Order at your own risk :-/ read more

This restaurant is such a great addition to College Point and I would gladly come back any time no doubt about it! The staff is so friendly, patient, and helpful. The food is delicious, fresh, and filling. The vibe is very chill/casual and you can drink and eat all night. From what I can tell, their playlist is comprised of bachata and other Spanish dance music. The waitress that served the Mr. and myself offered sample shots of the Sangria because I wanted to try a fruity one off their menu. I picked out the Passionfruit one under her advice and Hubs picked out Mr. Dre Sangria with Jacks! They were both very good. The Passionfruit was delicious and fruity and Mr. Dre was balanced with the Jacks and Passionfruit. We were recommended the pitcher ($30) over individual drinks ($8/$10 each respectively) because it would have been a better deal shareable between 2 people. Of course being Asian and lightweight, we said nah. But it was definitely appreciated! Ok time for food! Mariquitas- fun and delicious finger food. They were so beautifully presented, the plantains were so crispy and fun to eat. The guacamole was delicious and complimented the chips very well. Initially, being a heavy dipper, I thought that the guac to chip ratio was off but it's quite proportionate. I would say get that extra guac if you are a serious dipper as well. Ceviche Mixto- I wanted a light lean meal for dinner and this was that, as well as refreshing and plenty. No complaints honestly. I finished it in under 20 minutes. Costillas w/ Sweet Potato Fries- holy mother- what is that sauce? Sticky and finger licking goodness. This dish took a while to come out but it was worth waiting for. The fries were really good as well, crispy, hot, and soft inside. No need for ketchup. All in all/TL;DR great service, food, vibe. Many offerings for different preferences. read more

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon with my best friend and her family (husband and 3 yrs old twins) and my 7 yrs old nephew. We were discussing what to do. How about brunch?! Why not, she's been eyeing this place for months. So, we call to get some info and the friendly voice on the phone encourages us to come on by, there's plenty of space and brunch doesn't end till 5:00. So we pile in the car and head out. Parking didn't come easy, but we eventually found something, unloaded and headed to the restaurant. We heard the music from about a block away and realized there wasn't going to be much talking. No worries. Excited for all the delicious yumminess, we asked the host for a table.... and that was the end of our joy. The host informed my friend's husband that they were booked and couldn't accommodate our party. So my friend and I began to count the open tables in plain site!  I couldn't help but notice the look of disdain on the host's face as he glanced at the children and stated that he could actually seat us, however we would have to be done by 3:30 pm. It was 2:20 pm!  As he stood there disinterested and seemingly annoyed, we explainedouc call earlier and in no way could guarantee exactly when we would be done. He said that's all he can do.  So, after driving for about 30 minutes and looking for parking for another 15, we had to deal with a very rude and unapologetic host. My friend and i were offened at the way he looked at the children and disregarded us.  We left and went to McDonald's. The kids were happy and we won't be going back. Tip 1: Train your staff on the art of customer service. Tip 2: Clearly state if your establishment doesn't allow children. read more

Myself and 4 others came here since it was near our hotel and everything was excellent!!! 1. Service: We were seated right away and our waitress was incredibly sweet, attentive, and accommodating. 2. Alcohol: Our table had the Mr Dre 7 drink which has coconut and pomegranate infusion and the mango and passion sangria. Personally the mango sangria was my favorite, so refreshing! 3. Food: I had the churrasco- skirt steaks with chimmichuri (forgive spelling) and a side of the sweet plantains.... So delicious. The steak was yummy but the sweet plantains were cooked to perfection. The beef arrepas melted in our mouth and yuca was also perfectly cooked 4. Atmosphere: I loved the decorations and lighting. Really chill place to eat/drink at. Also, the DJ was killing it with the old school 90s jams. The music alone had my entire party in a great mood Also were planning on going back for the Sunday brunch :) read more
