Absolutely LOVE this spot. The food is wonderful, the drinks are delicious, and the staff really make you feel taken care of. Besides joining them as a customer, I attended a Baptism/First Birthday event here in their outdoor space in the back. It was the perfect event space, couldn't recommend it more. The Bonnie is such a great part of the neighborhood! read more

I've said it once and I'll say it again this is the best place in all of Astoria. It has good food, great beer, great cocktails, and such an awesome atmosphere. Ventured here for restaurant week and was not disappointed so happy the Bonnie was listed. Had the amazing Smashburger, the fried pickles and an Allagash beer. The two desserts, the cosmic brownie, and the Keylime pie were incredibly good. Parking can be a little bit challenging at times, but if you park a little further away, it's a short walk. If you're looking for a place for some fun, a positive vibe, good tunes, and excellent food - look no more the Bonnie is your place ! read more

The Bonnie is such a great neighborhood spot with a lively but comfortable vibe. I went for dinner with a friend and had a really great experience. Both the food menu and the cocktail menu were excellent -- plenty of great options and everything was well executed. The atmosphere is energetic and fun without being overwhelming. Unlike some bars where you can't hear the person across from you, the volume here is perfect for actually enjoying conversation, which made the night even better. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the overall energy makes it a place you want to stay and enjoy. Definitely a solid go-to in Astoria for dinner or drinks with great vibes. read more

We came here for brunch and had delicious food and cocktails. We started with the espresso martini which you can also opt to have with coconut rum. The smoked salmon on hash browns were also delicious but my fave was the burger which comes with bacon and an egg. Service was excellent especially from AK the bartender. Will definitely come back. read more

Me and my partner are obsessed with this, although it could use more peppers :) -Buffalo wings: again, their Buffalo is the best. I've had their other flavors but don't compare Love love love. Honorable mention to their PB&J shots... did not know those existed! read more

This restaurant has more space than you expect when you first walk in. We went there for brunch and the food was excellent. To start we had french toast sticks that were to die for. They were made a little different and delicious. Our second starter was riff on lox & bagels but instead of the bagel, it was on a homefries. Then we had the Nashville hot chicken, steak & eggs, and eggs benedict and we ate it all. read more

I will never visit this place again. The customer service is awful and it's clear that they are struggling financially and will do anything to ring every last dollar out of their customers. The party/event planner is absolutely a disaster to deal with and not flexible in the least. Booked a party bc we were told after trying to just book online on open table that parties of 10 or more needed a party booking. Mind you we were only 9and it doesn't let you book yourself online for more than 6. We requested a table in their garden for 12-14 people anticipating more before the weather and some emergencies. They quoted me $650 for 2 hrs. They told me it's enclosed but failed to mention it's not heated whatsoever. It was absolutely freezing in the place and most of us wore our jackets the entire time we ate. Turned out we were only 9 and they still insisted I pay 650 plus gratuity and service charge. I tried to ask the party manager if we could go inside-9 people and continue our tab to meet the minimum and was told No I would still have to pay the minimum which ended up being close to 900 with fees and tip and open a new tab inside and told they couldn't accommodate us anyway. Mind you outside in the garden where we paid for our reservation there were at least 10 tables free the entire time we were there and when I inquired could we just pay our tab bc they had so many tables free she said no bc had the weather been nice the garden would've been filled up and tables filled- really? So did every single person cancel and pay $650 res to give up their tables. The fact that she wasn't willing to work with us at all despite the fact that there was clearly no need for space is preposterous and evident that they are struggling for business. It's crazy considering that many of us are frequency of their sister business sweet Afton. Needless to say we will not be back to this place and we went around the corner and we're treated with respect and flexibility. The the food is the only reason why I gave this two stars because the food is actually good, but I will never go back here because it's the customer service that will bring you back every time and that was severely lacking here. read more

Amazing cocktails, amazing atmosphere, amazing hosts, amazing service, amazing venue - the food is so mid though. The carrot falafel didn't honor the textures of a true falafel. It was mushy. The flavors were lacking. The fish tacos too, left me missing the fresh notes garnishes often provide. Fish was crisped to perfection but just lacked flavor? I did like that the food items seemed to be made fresh with whole ingredients. I'd return to the establishment, but not for the food. The vibes are great. They also have a nice back yard that's kids and family friendly. Cute touch :) read more

How have I not reviewed The Bonnie! I forget that there was a life before Yelp and I just have to sometimes catch up my Yelp life with my former life. Intern Lauren had never been so it was a great time to go back. She got there before me and asked if we should sit in the garden area or inside. Even though it was hot, I just love that outdoor area so damn much. So I met her outside at one of their picnic tables. I should note that they have the best cocktails. They use elderflower in some which is such a great ingredient for summer cocktails. We didn't drink this time around but I did need to mention this for future diners. Food wise: a favorite is the shishito pepper which once again did not disappoint. The zucchini chip also ate a huge win with that whipped feta. For the main event, I went with the snap pea and feta salad. A great summer dish. Our server was wonderful. This visit was another great one and look forward to another return! read more

Pretty chill bar, has a bar in the front and one in the back. It's super dark in there but it goes with the theme. We came in just for drinks so this review is based solely on that. The drinks were yummy, the only reason it's not a five star it's because the service lacks, then again, we came in a little late so maybe the bartender was tired at that point. He rarely interacted with us and we had to wait for him every time we wanted another drink which was a little frustrating. read more

GO TO PORTA 23 ACROSS THE STREET INSTEAD! Came for brunch on 3/15/26 as a group of four at 12:07pm. Spotted two empty booths, an empty table, and what looked like additional available seating in the back, but was told by the hostess that we cannot be seated because she has a few 1pm reservations. She told us we could sit at the bar--mind you, there were four seats that were not together so we'd have to sit separately--or we could only have a table if we ate quickly and left before 1pm. I don't know a single restaurant in NYC that would do this to anyone, and last I checked, even with a reservation sometimes you have to wait. In the 3-4 minutes of this interaction, two sets of two finished eating and left, creating even more available seating. We tried pleading with her and asked if we could wait for a table to finish, and reminded her that that other people will finish dining before 1pm, but she didn't budge and didn't try to accommodate us. And this perfectly explains why The Bonnie has been losing its reputation and sliding down the quality scale of places to eat in Astoria. If you want a great brunch, lunch, or dinner, go to Porta 23 across the street instead--better food, better drinks, better service, better atmosphere. read more

Our group really enjoyed brunch at The Bonnie! And it's always a plus when you can make a reservation (on Resy) ahead of time. We sat in a cozy booth by the windows so I couldn't help but indulge in some people-watching. Two of us ordered eggs Benedict ($16): one with Canadian bacon and one with country ham, along with the bottomless local Mighty Oak coffee ($4). The Canadian bacon ended up being more like American bacon though that was perfectly fine by me. I also ordered a side of the cheesy grits ($7) since sometimes eggs Benedict aren't as filling as you'd hope but this was a solid portion. And the grits showed up in a big bowl with oodles of cheesiness. They were delicious so I couldn't leave any traces behind. Long story short, I was very full at the conclusion of brunch.  One teensy quibble was that pancakes were not offered on the menu; one person had a hankering for 'em. Come to think of it, waffles were absent as well. But there were several other classic brunch dishes available.  Service was friendly and attentive; coffee cups were never empty. Curiously, we started off with one server but then a different server began waiting on us without acknowledging the change. Well, it's easy to see why The Bonnie is quite popular among Yelpers in Queens! Count us in as fans. read more

A new place to love!! The summer vibes are *chef's kiss* and I can't wait to visit again. The zucchini chips could be a lil crispier but that whipped feta is delish. The shishito peppers and miso-kewpie mayo were also to die for. Not to mention that these apps were such great portions that it looked like we barely made a dent in them. I ordered the Santa Fe Crispy Chicken Salad (without pickled onions) and it was so good and filling--I don't think I've ever loved a salad more. We sat in their backyard garden which is more of a casual vibe. Inside is more like a cocktail bar vibe--think dim, warm lighting and booths. Even though we were outside, we still had attentive servers outside and never felt like we had to flag someone down. Good for both small groups or date night! read more

Place is racist on the low, my friends and I tried to go for brunch and the hostess with the big ass forehead said she would put our name down and even took one of our phone numbers and said it was a 45 minute wait. Two hours passed and not once were we contacted about our table, it seemed like the hostess didn't even put us in- we had to mention putting our names down she didn't offer that option, shooing us away essentially. (for context my friends are hispanic) read more

Had a great brunch here! We weren't able to make reservations online and thought it would be packed, but we were seated right away around noon on a Saturday. The restaurant had wood and brick walls, with lots of seating options including backless barstools and couches with tables for smaller parties. To start, we shared the cinna-bun toast sticks. These were wonderful. An order came with four. They were crispy on the outside, while soft and fluffy on the inside. Drizzled with cinnamon sauce, they melted in your mouth. My only complaint was that they didn't offer the cream cheese frosting as a dip. For my main, I had the avocado toast. This was hearty and filling, with grainy bread, pickled onions, poached egg (served on the side), and pumpkin seeds. The plate was sprinkled with tajin spicy seasoning, which provided a nice burst of flavor. Their mimosas were a steal at $8. Mine was served in a stemless wine glass, which was an unexpected change from the usual champagne flute. My partner got the shrimp and grits and said it was one of the best he's had with kale, sausage, and peeled shrimp. He also enjoyed the Astoria iced tea. Service was fast and attentive. We loved every bite! read more

We came here for dinner last night and both ordered smash burgers with a side of cheese fries to share. The burger was a good size, and the fries were better than I was expecting! (I am not a regular cheese fry person, so this was a positive experience.) I really liked the spicy aioli that came with the fries and wish it had been on the burger also. Service was fast and friendly, and the restaurant has nice open air seating in their back patio. I'd definitely stop by again in the area for food or just drinks and to enjoy the ambiance. read more

The Bonnie - Smash Burger (x2) and Cheese Fries - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Astoria, New York

The food was great. The service was great. Actually got the food to go. I had the shrimp and cheesy grits. That's was excellent. The grits were smooth, velvety and cheesy. It also came with andouille sausage and kale. Great accompaniments to go along with the shrimp and grits. Right amount of sausage grease. I also had the hot honey chicken biscuit. The chicken was fried to perfection, but it was a little on the smaller side compared to the biscuit. The pickles on the sandwich was to die for. And then the biscuit. OMG. What can I say. Who doesn't love a great biscuit. Nice and moist. Overall a great sandwich. Would definitely get again. It seems everyone was enjoying themselves in this establishment. It was plenty people, but not crowded. Also wasn't noisy for the amount of people that was there and everyone was engaged with each other. read more

Good food, okay atmosphere, bad service. Staff were so poorly trained, they felt like McDonald's staff doing their 2-3 assigned tasks, completely oblivious to everything else outside of their immediate job description. Two examples: There was an issue in our area that impacted a few tables. (Won't say what as it happens everywhere.) At restaurants with well trained staff, you would have seen a manager quickly jump into action to neutralize the situation, reseat people, and possibly even comp drinks. They didn't do anything. Didn't even apologize. We were leaving and the host basically made us get out of their way so they could get past us first. So rude, and unprofessional. Maybe I'll try the bar or delivery in the future. read more

Came here for brunch at 2:00pm. I opted for the bottomless option which consisted of mimosas, seasonal sangria, beer. You can switch between the options. The seasonal sangria was strawberry. It was delicious but tasted like juice and lacked enough alcohol. The chicken sandwich was so tasty. It didn't come with sides so I got tater tots which was enough to share. The service was okay. There was 15 more mins left in brunch and we had to ask for more drinks. The waitress had cleared the table and stopped serving us but when we asked for a drink she did bring us one more. read more

Been to this place two times and I must say it's a great place for drinks, brunch and good vibes. The service is always fantastic and friendly; you will feel right at home as soon as you are greeted by the host. They have inside and outside options, both are beautiful but I suppose larger groups are better for the back. The avocado toast was beautifully done with a kick to it. My friend enjoyed her BEC, it was so filling!! We also shared the lemon blueberry cornbread, and I gotta find a dupe recipe for this because it was bomb!! Next time I come I will probably come for the drinks. Such a wonderful staple in Ditmars. read more

The Bonnie - Avocado Toast Blueberry Cornbread Bacon, Egg & Cheese Deluxe - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Astoria, New York

I've been to the Bonnie three times and have always had a decent experience. The first two times I visited were back in 2021, and I recall really loving the dishes I shared with my friend and my husband. In particular, I vividly remember their broccolini melt sandwich, charred shishito peppers, burger, and a couple of tasty seasonal salads. Everything was tasty and portions were hearty. This recent visit felt a bit underwhelming. My husband got the fried chicken sandwich, which was TINY and didn't come with a side. It honestly looked like a McChicken, and I could tell he was disappointed. He ordered a side mac and cheese, which he was happier with, but it was $14, which seems a bit pricey for a side. I ordered the chicken pot pie as did one of our friends, and that was also tiny. It came in a small crock with some puff pastry on top. The filling was very soupy, and I generally prefer my pot pie fillings to be a bit thicker, so I wouldn't necessarily order it again. Our other friend ordered the burger, which looked great. It came on an everything bun with a side of fries and looked perfectly cooked. We also ordered the cheese stuffed pickled peppers, which looked like the ones you can buy at any of the Mediterranean markets in Astoria, and the buffalo Brussels sprouts, which were tasty. The service was fantastic, as it was for my previous two visits. I would still return to The Bonnie, but I do think it's changed in the past few years, but I suppose a lot of places have. read more

I got a weekday dinner with a friend. What a lovely space - both inside and out! Garden in back would be great for a big group. My Ditmars Smash cocktail was good but a bit too full of ice. I'd get beer or wine next time. That fried chicken sandwich, though. I'm still thinking about it. Super juicy chicken and great texture with the additional ingredients. One of the best I've had in a long time. My friend's fries were also really good. Don't forget the catch the burger, fries, and beer special at the bottom of the menu. read more

Loved all their different toast selections. Our favorite was definitely the avocado toast. Flavorful with generous portions.

Great for brunch! The sangria is super tasty. Some items were better than others. The steak and eggs were alright. The chicken biscuit was great! Their tots appetizer was awesome and I wish we had more. The patio is super cute. They give you a post card at checkout.

The Bonnie is always one of my top options for brunch in Astoria. It's sure win for folks who are visiting from out of town. There's a great backyard area with picnic tables and the inside is very comfortable. My one complaint is that a lot of the seats don't have back support (stools, picnic tables, etc.) The servers are really kind and accommodating. The menu is a winner. They change it semi-seasonally. They tend to always have french toast sticks in the past they've been pumpkin spice latte flavored, blueberry flavored, and right now they have cinna-bun flavored french toast sticks. The loaded tots are excellent and seem to be on the menu year round, along with the hot honey fried chicken biscuit, the bacon, egg, and cheese deluxe, and brunch burger two of my fave main dishes. The salad tends to change based on the season, but I've always enjoyed them. And the cheesy grits are a huge, delicious portion. They had a fig walnut bread a few seasons ago that was so yummy, I still sometimes dream about it. read more

Drinks/ Food (4/5): Drinks were quite good! We got the Saturn in retrograde, ginger snap, Bonnie punch, and the Chai. I especially liked the Bonnie punch which had a nice sweet taste. We also got some fries. They were average but nice to go along with the drinks. Be aware that between lunch and dinner service (e.g. 4ish) the kitchen is closed except for fries because according to the host they have a small kitchen and need to set up for the next service. Venue (4/5): Solid venue with classic pub vibes. They had a good amount of seating space and it was an overall nice layout. We came in around 430pm and when it switched to 5ish the lights got dimmer to provide a more romantic, mysterious feel. Service (4/5): Overall friendly and helpful service. The servers didn't check up on us too frequently but they were friendly when they did. read more

My partner and I had a kind of startlingly unpleasant experience here today (Saturday, 5/17/25) around 5:45 pm. We don't know the neighborhood well and wanted to grab a quick drink outside before our dinner plans. Bonnie's looked nice! We saw some long picnic-like tables out front and though most were full, one had space and the friendly couple sitting at one said it was super fine if we sat at the other half of their long table. We didn't know if there was table service or a backyard perhaps instead so we went inside to see if we should order at the bar or from a server/be sure if was okay for us to sit out front. When we went inside, we asked the host if there was room in the backyard (he said no) and then said we'd asked if it was okay to share a table out front. He snapped, "I wish you hadn't done that! This is a restaurant!" He sighed with exaggerated exasperation and went to check the courtyard after having told us there wasn't space. We were both kind of stunned into silence after being scolded when we just didn't know what the protocol was (also, at many restaurants, it's fine to seat yourself and also to be polite to customers!). We had a bad vibe after that and agreed we didn't want to stay, so when the server returned I honestly but calmly said "we don't feel very welcome so we think we're going to go somewhere else" and he again snapped "fine! I mean this is a RESTAURANT!" again, followed by a series of rude comments directed at our retreating backs. Given all the great reviews I'm sure the food and atmosphere are great, but yikes, what a rude host, so I guess we won't have the chance to know. (As a contrast, the server at The Ditty down the street couldn't have been nicer and quickly cleared the bad taste that weird interaction left in our mouths.) read more
