Dropped in for a quick bite with my wife and 6 year old. They sat us in the backyard area. It was open air with lots of lighting. There was big TVs to catch some world cup matches. The staff was very attentive. The food was very good. Came out fast on a busy evening. My daughter loved the Mac and cheese. The whipped ricotta was fluffy and creamy. We asked for more bread because we wanted the flavor to last. Looking forward to coming back read more

Haven't been back in a while and I forget what I had gotten the prior times. I got the smashburger this time around and it was standard and decent. The french fries are thick cut and good too. It got pretty noisy on a Friday night as expected. read more

Comfortable neighborhood place with a large outdoor room in the back The plates are the standard fare. The Fried Pickles were tasty, but served room temperature. The hand cut French Fries were the highlight of the Tavern Burger. We informed the server that it was a party member's birthday, expecting a candle on the Key Lime Pie. The dessert was presented without a candle and we had to ask for silverware to eat the pie. read more

Came here for my friend's 30th birthday party. Hip place right off the train at Ditmars. There was 7 of us. Service was friendly and food came out quick. They allowed us to bring our own cake and we chose to self serve. They will provide you with knives. Overall great local place to have a bite or celebrate a birthday. read more

Glad to return a couple more times, definitely a crowd-pleasing place. People loved the hot honey fried chicken, the chimichanga, the snap pea salad and the vegan pastrami reuben. The sweet corn griddle cake is an arepa, and the peppery honey it comes with was popular. The chimichanga isn't spicy at all. The tots are a bit dense and not fluffy, super crunchy, probably best eaten super quickly. They're also huge. The back area often has private events, which is cute. 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 a casual bar that does have a really good burger and I'm sure has other good food items as well. Do keep in mind that it is really loud in there but I don't mind that, it is a social place after all. The drinks are good and strong as well. 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.

What my dreams are made of! The Bonnie is perfect for a date night or if you're hosting a visitor - here's my fav items to order: -Buffalo Buffalo sprouts: PHENOMENAL -Both burgers, smash and regular: I trust their beef, it's perfect every time -Spinach & artichoke dip: TOO DELISH! 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

Food is very good and the staff is nice. Sometimes the music can be way too loud which makes it feel more like a dive bar than a casual dining experience. 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

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

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

The zucchini chips were limp and lukewarm instead of crispy. The ceviche was awful, with a strange gelatinous texture and an overwhelming pineapple flavor. Even the crispy chicken salad was just average. read more

I went to a wedding here last weekend and it was AMAZING. The food, the people who work here, the ambiance, it was all just so perfect. I'm gonna come back for brunch sometime. Amazing amazing amazing. read more

We are so glad we hosted our wedding here! Tali did an absolutely amazing job at making the process stress-free and seamless for us, ensuring the venue met our vision and needs. The venue itself was absolutely perfect for a hybrid ceremony/reception space. The food and beverages were delicious and more than enough for our guests (no one was hungry) and they were super accommodating for restrictions and preferences. If we had to do it all over again, we would host again here. Reasonably priced and well worth the expense! 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

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

My fiancé and I hosted an engagement party in the back garden area, and it was fantastic! The events coordinator, Tali, was exceptionally helpful, as we had to reschedule our event due to the snowstorm back in February. The food at our event was excellent, guests raved about it. Highly recommend the Bonnie for events and for regular dining -- they have the best caesar salad + crispy chicken! 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
