Karaoke night!!
Tonya C.

Love coming to this neighbor game when in town. The food is good and the atmosphere is great. This being my third time here, I did notice a couple of things. The burger has shrunk! Maybe is a sign of the times, but for the same price from the past, I need the same size burger! *Do not expect "crispy fried onions" as a burger topping to be crispy, nor fried like the option described. They translate that as "grilled".* (#strange - Don't bring me onion rings as an alternative!) The service was tough with a crowded bar during this season of gatherings and karaoke. I only saw two people working all the tables and off they don't look your way, good luck in getting their attention for a table of only 4. Because the food IS good, I will continue to patronize this historic pub.

One of the oldest operating taverns, famous for being featured in Goodfellas. Old school, dark wood, nothing fancy. I had the Goodfellas burger, which was thick, juicy, and tasty. The fries were well seasoned and hot. Drinks were basic, but good. Other options include smothered nachos, Mac n cheese, Bavarian pretzel, cheese quesadilla, wings, grilled chicken, grilled salmon. Great service. This is not a tourist spot. It's definitely a neighborhood spot.

Live jazz band Sundays , great vibe and amazing service. I couldn't ask for more for a spontaneous trip to Neir's Tavern. There was no complaint from anyone with any of the food! Definitely try them out if you are in the area, they have a lot of history !

Neir's Tavern is indeed the iconic spot where a scene of Goodfellas was shot. They have cheap good drinks & the classic old feel of a bar- what's to dislike? I got the Haymaker's Punch with rum which was quite tasty, I can see why it's a staple in their drinks menu. All in all, I'd be back for the burgers & other drinks.

Support black own establishment. The outside decor of the bar stood out to me. Looks like a big two family house. Love the outside seating of the bar. Upon my arrival it was pack. Full house. I order a margarita at the bar. Which was made freshly and taste great. Service was great.

History

A fun, historic place. Super laid back, great mementoes to look at on the wall. On of the oldest bars in town. Reasonable prices, too.

Passionfruit Margarita. Good and potent

So I was suppose to come to a Juneteenth event here but got the dates mixed up and ended up just getting an early dinner here. I sat at the bar and ordered from their happy hour menu. Place is quiet. The happy hour options are decent. I got a margarita and it was tasty and not watered down at all. Enough alcohol for me to just order one. I ordered the wings and mozzarella sticks, they were delicious and fresh. The fries were also good and plenty. I would come here for happy hour again. The bartenders were cool and it didn't take too long for my food to come. I just don't like to get charged for using a credit card but that is a common thing in NYC nowadays.

The NY skirt steak was delish. It was nice and tender and very flavorful. My wife got the goodfella burger as well as the Guinness. She enjoyed herself immensely. She likes smash burgers more but as for as thick burgers go, she said it's pretty good. She rarely compliments past it's ok. That's how I know it's good.

Neir's Classic Burger Deluxe
Notoya S.

The most famous restaurant that you've never heard of, Neir's Tavern. A beautiful space that feels like home the moment you step through the door. I had Neir's famous burger, cooked medium-rare, with onion rings. The lightest but most filling burger I've had in a while. I also haymaker punch and what a kick that drink has. The staff was welcoming and attentive. Highly recommended!

Menu

Neir's Tavern is one of those places that surprises you in the best way. I had never seen the movie it was featured in so I walked in completely clueless about its background. My friend lives just a block away and for nearly ten years he had wanted to check it out. Now that he is about to move he finally decided it was time to visit and asked me and another friend to join him. Going in with zero expectations made the experience even better. The bar is in a quiet residential neighborhood which is not where you would expect to find a place like this. That's part of what makes it so interesting. It doesn't feel like a typical food or nightlife area but that only adds to its charm. We went on a Friday night around 7 which was just after happy hour and there were plenty of open seats. The vibe inside was relaxed and welcoming. It has a classic look and feels lived in but not rundown. I ordered some nachos and other finger foods along with a cold beer. Everything was really good. It's nothing overly complicated just solid food and drinks that hit the spot. What stood out the most was how easy it was to just hang out and enjoy the space. The staff was friendly and no one made us feel rushed. It was nice to be in a place where people actually talk and enjoy themselves instead of being glued to their phones or caught in a loud crowd. Even without knowing the history or the movie scenes connected to it I can see why people love this place. It is definitely worth checking out and I am glad we finally did.

This place is absolutely amazing . The menu is small but excellent choices and it has such a rich history that can't be denied . Went there today for lunch and had the bbq wings they were great meaty and not rubbery like some others I've had and perfect amount of sauce . My friend had the neirs burger it was juicy topped with onion lettuce tomato and onions with delicious well seasoned crispy fries . Oh also had a Stella draft nice and cold . Go and enjoy take pictures and absorb its rich amazing history as they're on their way to 200 years !

So good I forgot to take photos of the food before eating it!

I was invited to celebrate a friend's birthday at Neir's Tavern in queens. I thought it was going to be a basic bar but to my surprise Neir's has so much history and has such a great vibe! The bar accommodated a party of 25 people; we had our own section in the back. I will say, it is hard to spot this place if you aren't looking for it. It's more like a neighborhood gem than a flashy bar on a busy street. It's wedged between residential homes. The servers were so nice and helpful! We ordered several dishes, the sampler plate which was quesadillas, chicken tenders & mozzarella sticks; chicken wings; Good fellas burger and nachos. The wings were so crispy and delicious! I heard the burger was also phenomenal. If I lived in the neighborhood, I can see myself going here often!

The buffalo chicken sandwich was VERY spicy but delicious. Crisp fries were on point. Wings were large and great crisp lemon pepper rub was just the right blend and the sweet chili was not 'hot' at all (which was great for me). I had the best mozzarella sticks ever with just right marina sauce. Absolutely excellent service. Place was not crowded and thus one person (Anthony) was all roles except the cook and was very expedient! It is a local neighborhood restaurant and thus the ambience reflects that....so while the chairs don't encourage sitting for long time and the outside does not scream come in, the music was really good and had us singing along. When back in NYC, will definitely return.

It's a big game room with tons of games and also tones of televisions. Those that didn't play the arcade games, watch the Knicks V 76ers. The service: One a person love what they do, they do it and the shine. O.T was our server. O.T was on point. Before you thought it, he was on it. It's like he has a sixth sense. O.T was very attentive and very engaging with not only my family, but with all of his other customers as well. O T interacted with my family and we loved it and him. I have never gone to a D & B or any other restaurant including CHUCK E CHEESE.. and found such an astounding person first, server second, and last but not the least; employee that fit the job description, rolled it over, flipped it twice, and conquered every aspect of customer service. O T should be employee of the century! The Food: I forget what my daughter had but there were no complaints, my granddaughter had Za, something that ever kid likes. My grandson is sd burger and fries. I should have had that but I opted for the sampler which consisted of pig n blankets, wings, and sliders. Every thing was really tasty but a bit too much for me. I was rescued by my granddaughter, she ate my last two pigs in the blanket. I guess she don't like blankets so she ate the pigs only. I don't think I'll be going to any other D & B, I mean when you've had the best service and all, the bar was set. Going anywhere else is below standard. Inspire more, Yelp more!

The restaurant was quite busy when we came in and my cousin always insists on sitting outside due to her fear of getting the covid virus again. My aunt ordered the prime rib which was a good-sized steak. My cousin ordered the salmon on a plank oven roasted on a cedar plank, glazed with maple butter & dusted with toasted fennel and broccoli rabe. My wife and I ordered the oreganata tasting (Alaskan cod, shrimp, clams & calamari. Served with spaghetti agli olio, with a lemon white wine sauce). Our portions were small, and I had to send my plate back because the food was lukewarm not hot! The food tasted very good. For dessert we had pistachio tartufo, vanilla cheesecake, tiramisu and my aunt was given a sparkling birthday cake for free. The desserts were excellent and well portioned. The outside terrace is very nice as we are on the Broad Channel causeway. The only downside was I didn't bring my jacket with me, and a strong breeze hit my back as we finished. The other downside was the restaurant allowed smoking on the terrace in designated sections which isn't good for me because of asthma, and it is taking away from the taste of my food. The service was very slow, although the staff was friendly and cordial with many old time customers coming here on a standard basis. I was thinking they may have gone fishing to get our seafood plate together! The bathrooms were clean and there is valet parking on the premises. The bill was not paid by me but by my cousin and was well over $200.00 for the four of us. It's unfortunate that my food was cold and there is nothing to make up for the slowness of the staff. When we arrived, the outside was full of people but few staff and I believe there was a party taking place in the banquet hall and either there weren't enough servers or chefs to accommodate them both for the food to take so long and be cold. The restaurant is also singled out as the "go to place" for Woodhaven events and if this is what they get...it may be time for them to change. Read less

The dining room is anchored by an olive tree that rises improbably from the center of the floor, its branches catching the light from a constellation of milk-glass globes. Along the bar, bottles glow against whitewashed brick, and the marble counter is set with striped linen napkins. The effect is part farmhouse and part supper club, and it is more inviting than either would be on its own. The menu favors familiar dishes executed with care. A glazed salmon arrives lacquered and deeply caramelized at the edges, resting on wilted spinach and a bright hash of corn, peas, and shallot, all bound by a butter sauce worth chasing with a fork. The fish sandwich is a study in restraint: a well-seasoned, pan-crisped fillet, a soft brioche bun, and a tangle of slaw, with a plump pickle and coleslaw alongside, as tradition demands. Dessert is where The Shed allows itself some indulgence. A dense, fudgy brownie, dusted with powdered sugar and set beside a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting into chocolate sauce, recalls childhood without apology. Notably, the restaurant takes its non-alcoholic drinks seriously. The mocktail list is broad and thoughtful, a welcome gesture of hospitality toward diners who would rather skip the spirits without skipping the fun. Service, led on this evening by a warm and unhurried server, matched the room. Tables linger here, and no one seems to mind. The Shed isn't trying to reinvent anything. It simply does the familiar things well, in a room that makes you want to stay for another round of dessert and another hour of talk.

She was incredible from start to finish -- attentive, sweet, charismatic, funny, and just genuinely made the whole experience that much better. When we ordered dessert, she told us she was going to find us an awesome, big piece of cheesecake and asked which drizzle we wanted -- raspberry, chocolate, or caramel. Naturally, I said, "Give me all the drizzle," and she immediately said, "You got it." When she came back, she told us she didn't think she was able to find us a big enough piece, so she was taking the dessert off the bill. Meanwhile, we were looking at the cheesecake thinking the portions were completely fine! It was such a sweet and unnecessary gesture, and the cheesecake itself was delicious. The Harrison already has great food and such a nice vibe, but Amanda really made the experience memorable. She's the main reason I wanted to go out of my way to leave a review.
