Cobb salad
Catwoman O.

Came with my hubby for a date night. We were seated pretty quickly the back room wasnt that crowded. Waitress came over right away. Order our drinks then ordered our food which was a cobb salad n wings and some sweet potatoe fries. It was 6:20 when we was seated, so the place started getting a but crowded. Our waitress was very attentive to us. When our food came at 8:00pm kinda long wait for food. Really appetizers. It was delish and it was worth the wait. It was really very tasty. The salad was so fresh. The bacon cooked prefect. The room was very cozy. We enjoyed our dinning there and will be returning.

Dry, meat tasted old. You could barely bite them. We threw an entire order in the trash.

Horrible experience. Horrible customer service. Placed a substantial order of $55+tax+delivery fee. Chicken wing sampler ($23), steakhouse burger ($12), mac and cheese ($13), French onion soup ($5), ginger ale ($2). Food came 50 minutes over estimated wait time. Was cold. First of all chicken wings were inedible and they all ended up in the trash. They were dry like I've never seen before. Texture of a bad jerky. You could barely bite them. Meat tasted old. Burger was ordered medium, it came well done, dry. Bacon, and the sauce on it were good. Mac and cheese had no flavor. It was just a bechamel sauce with some cheese. You could taste the flour and the milk more than any of the "four" cheeses. I dont order from a restaurant to be doing the cooking for them. I did add some pepper, nutmeg, cayenne, and salt. Broiled it to a nice crispy top. This saved it, but again, I shouldn't be doing that. Onion soup had an okay flavor, good amount of cheese. It was however too oily, and they put the croutons right into the soup so by the time it is delivered expect a soggy mess. Ginger ale was the best part of the meal. But even here they manage to mess it up. I ordered a 16oz, it came in a small cup (probably around 8 oz) and filled with ice cubes to the brim. So three sips of ginger ale were the highlight of this meal. Naturally, I called eat24 for a refund. Manager was not there. They said to call them during the week. Called the following weekday, again, manager was not there. Eat24 representative said that as soon as he said he's calling from eat24 they instantly said that the manager is not at work. I hope you won't make the same mistake and order from this overpriced "restaurant".

Awesome service and maybe if you are lucky you will find cepelinai or zeppelins available at the end of the month. This is a national Lithuanian dish! Cute cozy clean place! I will be back!

Salty Lunch Lady's Little Luncheonette - Dr. Broccolini

Salty Lunch Lady's Little Luncheonette

Small luncheonette. Long lines but goes by fast. Everything is made fresh so expect a wait time…read more The Dill Party was amazing. Turkey sandwich, cheese dill avocado.

Cuisine: 8 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 7 Overall: 8 This is one of the hottest sandwich shops in all of NYC over the past couple of years. You see them on social media and every list for the best sandwiches. Every time I stopped by, I see a line, which hopefully means that they have developed a loyal following. I have now visited a handful of times, hence I feel confident enough to properly evaluate the restaurant. Here are my thoughts on some of their sandwiches. Dill Party (7.5/10) - This is one pf their most popular sandwiches and never leaves the menu. It's not my favorite, but it's a super solid choice. The dill flavor simply permeates through each bite of turkey and avocado. If I don't see my favorites on the menu, I wouldn't hesitate to order this sandwich. Fancy Bologna (7/10) - I love mortadella, but this sandwich does not hit high marks for me. I think it's the pepper spread that slightly distracts my taste buds from experiencing the delicate flavors. Chicky (8.5/10) - Rare hot sandwich on the menu. Everything works. I love the juicy ground chicken patty paired with creamy feta and smoked paprika mayo on a sesame seed bun. Charred onion and arugula are perfect additions too. Dr. Broccolini (8/10) - I added Spanish anchovies to this sandwich, which took it from good to fantastic. Never thought I would enjoy a mostly vegetarian sandwich, but this is one of my favorites here for its textural and flavor contrast. Fillet-y of Fishy (9.5/10) - One of the best things I ate in 2024. They need to have this sandwich more often. I have been dreaming about this nearly perfect fish sandwich for over 1.5 years now. Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie (8/10) - Very good finish to the meal. Not overly sweet, with just enough touch of salt. Relatively crispy with a slightly gooey center. Pistachio Chocolate Cake (8.5/10) - Had this at the Queen's Together International Expo at the end of 2024. Couldn't get enough of this deliciously moist cake. Wish they make this product regularly. Rhubarb Custard Cake (7/10) - Not bad, but nothing special. The cake was moist and the custard was light and creamy, but the rhubarb didn't have any impact. Yuzu Meringue Pie (8.5/10) - What a great graham cracker crust. For a meringue lover, it's like a key lime pie on steroids. Slightly sweet for me, but a wonderful slice of pie overall. Coconut Cream Pie (8/10) - Nice coconut flavor with a delicious custard. Fluffy whipped cream. Excellent pie crust. Quite enjoyed it. PB & J Cake (7/10) - Though the cake is moist, I found the peanut butter a bit light in flavor compared to the jelly. Not my favorite, but still good. As you can see, I appreciate most of the sandwiches and desserts that Salty Lunch Lady offers. However, I have to admit that the prices are slightly high for a relatively small sized sandwich. I guess it's the norm nowadays with all these fancy sandwich shops popping up in different parts of NYC. Besides, I'm part of the statistics after all.

The food sat on the counter for awhile - we had to ask for them to serve it. The burgers were okay. The lamb skewers were rare (not that they asked how we wanted it prepared) and stringy with tendons. A tiny portion of the pasta was served in an appetizer bowl - we politely asked if this was an appetizer or entree. Were told it's entree. Even though half the restaurant was empty, we were rush to pay the bill. Sadly, we will not be returning.

This review is for a delivery order placed through Uber Eats so your experience may differ, but I felt like the reality didn't live up to the hyped expectations. My chicken parm was $23.75.. maybe it's cheaper in person, but for that price I want the best chicken parm of my life. The bread was the best part in my opinion. The breading was coming off the chicken and the meat itself wasn't the most tender. It was fine, but not worth the price I paid through Uber Eats. I would consider going back maybe for dinner one day, the pasta looked pretty good. Don't think I'll be back for the sandwiches!

Seriously it's like walking back into the 90s in Ridgewood. I'm not gonna lie, I had high expectations for being a bespoke southern breakfast sandwich shop because I like my morning flavors savory. They had some fun ideas like a cheese something biscuit whatever but I wouldn't know cause they gave me the wrong sandwich. It was busy so I didn't bother mentioning it... but this place always seemed busy, so maybe they should be used to it? Anywho, I ended up with two of their classic BEC and it was pretty standard and kind of a letdown for Southern. The wait on the line and the 15ish minutes after and the price weren't so standard but this was their last week, so you pick your battles.

I honestly have faith in anything that comes from their kitchen but their "New Yorker" with the spicy bacon and jam is my favorite combination! Make sure you order it on the cheddar and chive biscuit as well, and I must say that they definitely make one of the best chive and cheddar biscuits that I've ever had! They also make a MEAN bundt cake that I forgot to take a pic of. My ONLY hiccup with them is their wait time. Called in my order 20 minutes before I arrived and still waited an additional 30 minutes once I got there smh.... But don't worry I'll be back lol Ambiance is like a local coffee shop. Literally a Corner Shoppe lol.

Fly me to the Moon (or Velmas)!…read more My boyfriend and I are huge Gordo's fans! Velma is the Italian pizzeria sister restaurant. And even closer to home. We went before a show and were more than excited to hear that it was Sinatra Night! Hell yeah. I love Frank Sinatra. What a perfect date night. The band also played songs from Elvis Costello and the Carpenters. I noticed some older gentleman came to watch them. He drove to the show and ordered a hefty size of creamy pasta. This guy is my hero. We ordered the calamari to start. And Nick had a Birra Morreti and I had the "Diesel" cocktail that had the perfect amaro mix! The cocktail was balanced with sweet, strong and still remained smooth. The mushroom "Funghi" pizza was banging. I loved seeing the whole mushrooms on top. And the pesto marries well with the flavors. We devoured our decadent date night meal while time traveling to a different era with the tunes. Highly recommend having an intimate dinner here or get a little group going. The best was leftover pizza for breakfast!

If there were a footrest bar at the bottom it might've helped, but as it was, my butt was not fitting on that seat. I basically had one foot on the floor and one on my friend's chair just to keep myself from sliding off. Graceful! We ordered two espresso martinis and a slice of tiramisu. Both were absolutely lovely and the perfect way to end the night. The staff were friendly, fast, and really on top of things. Next time I'd definitely come for a table, and maybe a proper meal, because the dishes coming out of the kitchen looked divine. My only gripe? Seventeen dollars for an espresso martini feels... ambitious for Ridgewood. It's not like this is some high-end cocktail bar, it's an elevated pizzeria. I'm not sure I'd come back specifically for the drinks, but I'd absolutely come back for the food and the service. I took home a second piece of that tiramisu. It was so delicious!

I came here my first time visit in May 2021 and there were few items on the menu, that are Italian sandwich and there were little or no choices for breakfast, and the breakfast hours had no limit, until this year 2023, as I ate her "breakfast" ham, egg, and cheese croissant sandwich at 5 in the afternoon. And also, that was how she ran out of ingredients for breakfast sandwich, which now in 2023 limited the sales of breakfast sandwiches to opening time thru 2 in the afternoon. Also, until I had my promotion on my part time job which started in February 2023, I stopped going to this place due to the rising prices inflation and went someplace else where is cheaper. So I can get used to the expenses, and therefore as I expected, it definitely will be nice if this store can innovate to sell more various types of Italian food imported from anywhere of European country- not only from Italy.
