    Oreo milkshake

    Another visit here and a returning happy customer! This is such a great spot in Astoria and better than a lot of places in Manhattan. This time I ordered the salmon wrap with a side salad which was so flavorful and had me feeling wishing I ordered 2! One day I will come back and try their delicious menu of milkshakes!

    The Grand looks so nice we couldn't wait to try it. The food was good, the waitress was nice. I didn't know what to expect but figured it would be good and it was. The Philly cheesesteak was good wasn't made with cheap meat it appeared. But I can't believe I thought I took a pic or a video & I didn't.

    I came here a couple of times with different groups but always for brunch, and I was never disappointed! The place is pretty big, clean, bright. There's days (usually Sundays) where it can get pretty busy, but it doesn't matter, because the service will always be pretty attentive! We got our food pretty fast and it tasted great. Also, they do Greek frappe and freddo espresso/cappuccino. So good! :)

    I think it was just okay. My salmon wrap with couscous did not have much flavor. I had to ask for sauce to make it taste more. I stole some of my friend's sweet potatoes fries and those were delicious. She enjoyed her chicken ciabatta sandwich. Menu was not updated because I saw all day breakfast but when I asked, they said it's not true. I was looking forward to the DJ that Saturday night and there was no DJ. The website said there is a DJ. I guess August is a slow month!

    THE GOOD ---------------- + SUPER lively atmosphere for brunch. ++++ Was here from 1-4 PM on a November Saturday and the restaurant was packed to the gills throughout. ++++ Music was pumping with mix of pop songs, but a bit on the loud side to the point it was hard to hear others at our table. ++++ Crowd was young and trendy. Almost felt like we were at a lounge. ++++ Restaurant had plenty of seats and tables, but, it's best to make a reservation if you don't want to wait. ++++ Great for large groups and large group reservations can be made by calling them. + Food is pretty much on par with other good brunch restaurants I've been to. ++++ Menu had plenty to choose from, including Fall Specials. ++++ Breakfast burger was solid. Burger was cooked medium well instead of the requested medium, but, nevertheless it was still good. Runny egg was perfect and fries were supppper crispy the way I like it. ++++ Skillet Baked Eggs also were fantastic. Lots of cheese and very tasty. ++++ Three Cheese Omelette was huge. Plenty of home fries on the plate and the omelette was perfect for the kids. ++++ Friends ordered other brunch entrees and didn't hear a single complaint. + Service was excellent throughout. Our food came out fairly quickly. + Making a reservation for a group of 13 was easy through the phone and I received a resy email confirmation after. + Our connected tables were ready exactly when we needed it. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - As mentioned earlier, if you're coming here for a quiet, peaceful brunch, this might not be the spot for you. Music was louder than preferred for chatting. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = There is also a decent size outdoor seating area for the warmer months.

    - Busy, lively, energetic atmosphere during Saturday brunch--great vibe, but the music and crowd made it pretty loud and a bit challenging for conversation in our larger group of 13 - The restaurant was nearly packed around 1p - Very accommodating and attentive waitstaff - Food was excellent: I had the Skillet Baked Eggs--two eggs baked in a savory tomato sauce in a cast-iron skillet, plus home fries and toast, perfect for sopping up all that hearty, tomatoey goodness; Iced Banana Maple Latte was strong with just the right amount of sweetness from the whipped cream and maple syrup; my hubs ordered the Breakfast Burger, which came slightly overcooked from the requested medium but still very enjoyable; the kiddos shared the Three Cheese Omelette and finished it without complaints--always a win! - Everyone in our party enjoyed their meals - Word of advice--BRING CASH--otherwise, prepare for multiple fees: start with automatic 20% gratuity for large parties, then a 3% credit card fee calculated on food PLUS gratuity, and sales tax applied on food PLUS the 3% fee; charging the 3% on top of the auto-gratuity felt a bit off - Still giving 4 stars because the food was exceptional and the service was very good despite the busy brunch rush--will definitely bring cash next time!

    The service was fine, it was a very cute and aesthetic place. I ordered a chicken sandwich with a cappuccino. The sandwich was good and the cappuccino was okay. There was music playing relatively loud which I didn't expect.

    Crispy Chicken Sandwich

    What a grand time :D Everyone enjoyed the food! Our table ordered all sorts of brunch entrees--sandwiches, eggs benedict, pancakes, chicken and waffles. My Crispy Chicken sandwich was sooo good and filling (chipotle mayo is top tier), and I took the second half home. Their drinks are served in huge glasses, not the usual flutes that mimosas and bellinis are served in. Bottomless was truly bottomless--never saw the bottom of my glass! If you have a large party, call ahead and reserve. We called four days ahead for a party of 13 and they were able to accommodate us and had our table ready when we arrived. I also liked that they allow everyone to order a la carte rather than having us choose from a family-style prix-fixe menu.

    Crispy Calamari - so gooddddd!!!

    I came here with a voucher. The service was amazing. Alllll of the staff were attentive. Our waitress name was Ianna or so. I have to check my receipt. But she was great. It was a calm Friday night. The drinks were tasty, my partner especially loved the margarita. There was a DJ. He played calm "background" music. Overall pleasant date night.

    I visited with a group of girls. There were about 9 of us total. The service was pretty slow. The staff did make sure to come back and check in that everything was good but the food was just underwhelming to me. They had typical brunch items but it just fell a bit short for me. The potatoes were good, the pancakes were ok, pretty fluffy and floury. If you like that then it may be for you. The space was nice and is good for accommodating large groups but otherwise I find no real reason to return.

    Came a couple times and tried both their brunch and dinner options. Very solid happy hour and so many different offerings on their menus. Also, who doesn't love an all day brunch? The food was just OK but the vibes are great and there's a lot of outdoor seating.

    CUTE LUNCH SPOT IN ASTORIA I stopped in for an early lunch. We were promptly seated and the service was attentive throughout. The menu was varied with lots to choose from which was what drew us in because I was dining with a fairly picky eater. We opted to order a couple starters to share amongst us since it was still pretty early in the day and no one was up for a full entree. We had the Guacamole & Chips, Sweet Chili Chicken Wings and Crispy Shrimp Tacos. Everyone was happy with what we ordered. The shining star for me was the Strawberry Nutella Crepe which I added a scoop of Vanilla ice cream to make it sheer perfection. The strawberries were fresh and the Nutella was generously drizzled on top. This one I ate all by myself. On the way out I noticed that they offer All Day Brunch which is something that I will have to come back to try!

    Greek Coffee $5.00

    Greek Town Astoria cannot be denied it's certain zest for their food and drinks and joyous consumptions. Now crossing the six month mark with the new girlfriend, she's taken me on some day and nighttime humdingers within the inner circles of this culture. I've always respected the Greeks for all of their, albeit antiquated contributions to civilization, their history is one of math and science, stars and sea and much more we all know a little something about from our books when we were in school. Now a bit of a dying culture in my eyes as so many other beautiful cultures are dying because of factors I shall remain steadfast in my tightness of lip. But I shall see the country at some point in the future, maybe I'll stay a while so I might get some food staples and architectural understanding as the language is so challenging. The Grand was slamming music - Greek music -- ehh, its a little hard on my ears but I'm powering thru, as the servers sling plates of spinach this and puff pastry that and salads that reawoke the greens lover in me. And you don't have to be eating here in the street side section of the cafe insulated by thick shrubs and views of this special coven within a part of town that's been a Greek stronghold since I was a young lad and likely decades earlier. Have a coffee or frappe, be careful with the Ouzo as it's Grappa that kicks like a mule.

    Is there a bottomless brunch?

    There is bottomless brunch. On weekdays it ends at 12pm and on weekends I believe 1pm. It's 25$ for the bottomless mimosas/drink you want.

    What time is brunch on weekends?

    Starts at 9AM.

Everything was on point, but the wings, the Mac and cheese and that burger are must-orders every time. The drinks were just as good.

The place is LOUD albeit with good taste of retro, 90's music and not the modern trash that floods the radio waves so I can rock with that. Place is sized pretty well with an outside seating area and plenty of tables inside the albeit dimly lit bar/restaurant. Coming into the place I was greeted by a blonde woman who seemed to be a supervisor of the area. She directed me to a comfortable seating area and a server took my order afterwards. The place was relatively busy so the wait for my food was kind of in the long range, about maybe 15 minutes. I ordered Chicken & Waffles with Iced Tea and the food was definitely worth the wait. That chicken was so good, a bit on the crisp side but it's solid in taste. The Waffle had such an awesome texture with the right measure of powdered sugar, decorated with Blueberries and Strawberries, the entrée was plated very well. The Iced Tea, I didn't know it was unsweetened so that threw me off but some sugar kinda fixed that. Service was also 'A' Tier. The place was busy so it was a tad on the slow side but they were very attentive. About 3 different servers tended to me whether it was about my order, how I liked it and paying for the bill when I was finished. That's dedication and I always give props to that. I enjoyed my visit here.

They have a giant menu posted on the wall to peruse. When we approached the counter to order, the person manning the register basically ignored us. When she finally acknowledged us to place our order, the interaction was taciturn and curt - no niceties. I ordered the single order pan-fried pancake ($8, but closer to $11 after tax). The menu states a choice between beef, pork, and chicken, but we were only given the choice between beef and chicken. The cashier also gave us a choice between spicy potato or pork floss (I opted for the pork floss), which was not denoted in the menu description. The menu does say it comes with veg, but what they really mean is lettuce/salad. The menu picture online is also misleading because it says it comes with an egg, and displays both a soft-boiled egg and beautiful runny egg cascading over the pancake. Instead, the only egg that was served was one overcooked fried egg (not runny at all!), and it was cold (but more on that later). The quoted wait time for the food was 20 minutes. There's a little station near the counter to grab napkins, silverware, and water. Around 9:30am on a Friday, several tables were filled, but no one had any food (the cafe opened at 9am, so I suppose the kitchen was still ramping up). My friends and I ordered variations of the same dish (the pan-fried pancake), but the dishes were served in reverse order - the person who ordered last got their dish first and vice versa. When one order is more complex than another, it's understandable when the easier/quicker one is served first. Since we all ordered nearly the same dish, this was not the case. The way things were being expedited was not efficient. When they finally called my name, I was excited to dig in, but the dish was cold! The beef was cold, the pancake was cold, the egg was cold and overcooked... I had half a mind to send it back. I'm guessing my order was ready earlier, but it must've sat there because someone forgot about it. Now technically, there are cold elements in the dish, if you count the lettuce and dressing, but there's no reason why the pancake, egg, and beef were all cold... they weren't warm, they didn't retain any heat, they were cold. They were also skimpy on the beef. The only redeeming qualities of the dish were that, fortunately, the pancake was still crispy, albeit cold and greasy, and the pork floss is a delicacy that gave the pancake a little extra oomph of flavor and texture. My friend ordered the Wake Up Combo ($14), which is the pan-fried pancake served with a soy milk and tea egg. Similar to my own egg experience, the tea egg was disappointingly overcooked (think hard-boiled) and not jammy like the picture at all. We all have bad days, so maybe Morning Brunch & Cafe was having one... but this is a skip for me.

The prices were bad here but the service and the food weren't great. When we arrived, we were scoping out the menu, they had it posted in a lot of places but it was kind of confusing. I did like how you could scan a QR code and when you clicked on an item, it was more descriptive of the add-on options or potential meat options. There are approximately 10-13 seats, so not great for a massive party, but good for a small outing or for take out. I saw a decent amount of delivery people come in to do pick ups. My friends and I were ordering and were curtly treated by one of the employees. I ordered the fried vegetable pancake with them since you couldn't order the QR code on the tables. She told me the options of only beef and chicken. I thought pork would've been an option and then she mumbled about the options for the additional topping. I couldn't understand her when she said pork floss, so I ordered spicy potatoes. The food also came out kind of sad and was slow to come out. The order was all wrong as I ordered last and then was delivered my dish first. It was kind of sad because I didn't even realize you should be able to pick up the pancake. It was hard to eat because it kept crumbling apart due to the pan fried falky pancake was a thin layer what just felt like crust. I was imagining more like a scallion pancake with vegetables infused or stuffed in. It also came out cold, and could have used a bit more flavor like a sauce or soy sauce. The spicy potatoe tasted a little undercooked as well. My friend ordered hers with pork floss instead and that tasted a little better. The dish also came with a supposed to be overeasy egg that is supposed to be runny, but was a bit overcooked.
