1st Time customer. I did read the reviews about the food before coming here. The buttermilk fried chicken sandwich was meh. I think they leave the seasoning for you to do so you should add salt and pepper before you bite into the sandwich. The side salad was okay. It didn't need the chopped scallions. I appreciated that the salad was lightly dressed. The winner was the green gimlet. I really enjoyed it. Fresh and slightly sweet. The staff were polite and friendly. Bathroom was clean. Sink outside the bathrooms. Restaurant is close to the subway line.
LOVE LOVE LOVE, I live in the neighborhood and only been here once, that's a crime. TBH, this might've been the best burger I've had in my life. Now , I must go to Au Cheval again just to make sure. The ambiance is cozy and perfect for dates or hanging out with friends. It's a true pleasure to have places like this in the neighborhood. Come here for great eats
Surpassed expectations as a standard bar with some elevated food. It's a full restaurant with a more unique and wide menu than many places. What we had was good classic food, but what we appreciate most is that there are quite a few things left on the menu we'd return to try. Slightly a bummer when you have the one and only thing on the menu you're interested in. Here there's a lot of variety.
Stopped in for quick bite before getting my haircut around the corner. I got their bacon, egg and cheese and a red sangria. The vibe is so cool and comfortable. I sat at the bar and the bartender, Dina I believe her name was was very friendly and inviting. I spoke with the manager, Brian a bit. He's a very cool guy. My bacon egg and cheese was delicious. The sangria was OK. If I lived closer, it would be my neighborhood spot. Very cool all around. I will definitely be coming back with some friends for brunch, or a hangout night.
We both ordered the fish and chips. Service was very attentive. Lots of families with children dining the night we went. I appreciated the large screen TVs showing the US Open. Typical American restaurant with a pub atmosphere.
It's been close to a decade since The Lowery made its way into Sunnyside, which has lowkey been one of the most well managed bar-restaurants in the neighborhood. Prior to its success, this spot would morph every few years from a couple of Turkish eateries (#1)(#2) and a Middle Eastern deli (#3). Now with everything from happy hour to brunch, they've cemented themselves as one of Sunnyside's most popular and beloved spots. While it might initially feel like one of the neighborhood's many Irish pubs (with Guiness on tap!), it feels more like a local's hangout with just enough of an intimate vibe for a date night, and the space for a solid group gathering over drinks. Speaking of the latter, the occasional Monday happy hour happens between 3-6pm, with most pricing at around $12-13 retail. The silent smoke is my preferred cocktail, featuring mezcal, agave, lime, and pineapple juice. The food is definitely a reason to come here, especially for their signature burger ($20), which features the Pat LaFrieda meat blend and is a must-order. Their french cut chicken ($29) is among their prettiest dishes, while the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich ($20) is heartier than it looks. Their flatbreads ($17-22) are an easy item for sharing and some of their small plates (especially the calamari and brussel sprouts) are a nice way to start. Their popular brunch hour is more of the same except with standard breakfast items, but some standouts such as breakfast tacos ($14), Scottish salmon bowl ($21), steak benedict ($20), and a mean fish and chips ($21). The burger is still available, except in brunch form (i.e. with an egg) and makes for an excellent combination with fingerling potatoes. Though the pre-pandemic years, the service was a tad rougher but they've since ironed out many of those issues. The prices are still on the higher end for the neighborhood, but coming in with the expectation will result in less sticker shock. I still dig the additional outdoor dining setup, but being inside is still the preference. Owner and longtime resident Anne Muldoon had always envisioned The Lowery to be a go-to spot for Sunnysiders. Not only has the dream come to fruition, but the real winners are the residents of the neighborhood. __________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/sofra-cafe-sunnyside (#2) https://www.yelp.com/biz/grill-43-sunnyside (#2) https://www.yelp.com/biz/el-shater-sunnyside
The service is very friendly! There's ample seating for dining and a separate bar area. The food is okay. Nothing spectacular but it wasn't bad either. I don't know if I'd come back for the food but would check it out for after work drinks or to hang out with friends!
Before making our way to Gov Ball this year, my friends and I decided to stop by The Lowery for a boozy brunch. They DO NOT have bottomless, but I would say their cocktails are reasonably priced and pretty good! We did make a reservation (made through their website) so that gave us peace of mind about getting a table, but we did arrive early enough to where they weren't too packed yet. They did fill up more as time went by. It seems to be a local favorite, beaming with a lot of families. It's a very casual spot - so if you're looking for something chill, this is a good option. I thought the food was decent. Wasn't mad at it, but it didn't blow me away either. My friends and I really liked the diversity in their food offerings - we have pretty different food preferences so it was nice that we were all so well accommodated. I don't know if I would run to return here, but I wouldn't recommend against it.
The Lowery Bar and Kitchen is cozy and inviting, offering a variety of American dishes along with some British-inspired options. If you're in the mood for fried fish, this is a good spot; they even serve bao. The customer service is great, with a courteous and attentive staff.
Small steak on the brunch menu for $40, sauce on the eggs Benedicts didn't taste right. Overall its okay.
Great elevator pub situated in cozy Sunnyside Queens offering huge selection of craft beers, cocktails and impeccable grub. Happy hour Monday through Friday and the staff is so friendly. Lively with mature crowd. Parking is a bit difficult due to residential streets nearby, but definitely worth the trip.
Really amazing service here from the moment you walk in the door, all the waitresses were warm and welcoming and immediately knew the food would be great. Solid beer /cocktail list and the decorations for Christmas made it extra cozy around this cold time of year. Highly recommend a fully decked out brunch burger with avocado bacon. Get a side of french toast too, but be prepared because these two will have you ready for a nap.
The place was very lovely and cozy and the service was good. What was lacking was the flavor of the food. Went with a group of friends and we all ordered different brunch items but all agreed the flavor was very lackluster. The flat breads were very tasty and flavorful, so was the roasted brussel sprouts but the main entree was where they fell short which should have been the star of the show. I had the Lower Breakfast and the sides was good but the poached eggs tasted like boiled nothingness and the hollandaise sauce was just yellow liquid....all zero flavor. Would I go back... probably for a small bite of flatbread but definitely not for brunch.
Very local bar vibes, and I absolutely love it. I've hung around Sunnyside many times before and I'm surprised I hadn't checked out the Lowery. They have a cool brunch special on the weekends, and it's a sizable bar/restaurant, where you can have your own events. All I had was a simple drink (red sangria) and fries but dangggg those were hella good fries! I sat by the bar and snacked while I watched the game that day. I definitely want to come back and try more of their menu. read more
The Lowery has the feel of an old-school pub, but contemporary dishes. The speck ham flatbread was the star of the show. Something about that sweet-and- salty mix from the fig jam with the ham & cheese is just top-tier. The calamari was on the crispier side. This is your warning--the Thai chilies are HOT. The chicken sandwich was okay, a little dry so perhaps ask for an extra side of sauce. Grabbed a bite here after a movie at Regal Kaufman, so their kitchen is open relatively late. Service was great--never had to flag down anyone for anything! read more

Today me and my girlfriend came to the Lowery and it has a nice, comforting atmosphere which makes this restaurant spot ideal. Especially for today, as there was a World Cup game playing. The volume was on and at an appropriate level which was appreciated. Despite it being busy, Malena our server was really attentive. It was a bit hot in the restaurant, which is to be expected in the middle of a heat wave. The food was good, we ordered the mac and cheese, Irish Spice Bag and Spicy Chicken Sandwich. There was a mixup with the first sandwich we got but our server and the manager were able to fix it quickly. First sandwich was also on the drier end (aside from the mixup) but the replacement they gave us was well made. Drinks were well made, sangria was balanced, not too sweet but not too strong. Extra points for the manager and server being attentive and generous. I would definitely recommend this spot. read more

Upon walking into Lowery, I was met with a welcoming, friendly, warm greeting from the staff. I ordered a red sangria and also the Brussel sprouts. The Brussel sprouts were crispy, glazed, and should not be a considered a vegetable....they were that delicious. The bartenders were all very friendly and were great hosts. There were all of regulars at the bar there for brunch, or just grabbing a drink and no questions why. When a place treats everyone like family, you're likely to patron it when it feels like home. read more

I stumbled into The Lowery Bar and Grill after driving past it far too many times. I had the Fig and Bacon Old Fashioned, and The Burger Medium well with the Salad. My server was Casper, in which I never had to ask his name because a party of 6 to my left had already asked for it obviously due to his great hospitality. The Fig and Bacon Old Fashioned was pretty nice. The Bacon was perfect. The fig was a nice touch. I appreciate Casper's knowledge of pairing The Fig and Bacon Old Fashioned and The Burger. Definitely a great match. The food came out almost instantly. The Burger was cooked to the temp requested, and not over seasoned, yet didn't require anything additional for salting. The bun has a tongue hug effect that I have yet to experience elsewhere and definitely adds a memorable difference to just any average bar burger. The salad that came with it also was satisfying, it was not over dressed and had a good balance of ingredients. It was perfect, with just the salad for me. I tend to be a light to average eater. So if you do like to eat a heavy meal you can instead get fries. The ambiance is very well ranged for either a loner dinner (as I did), a casual dinner date night with a companion or your better half. Also as previously mentioned it can be a great place to also bring a group of friends or associates as well. The music was perfect for the energy of the bar, and mixed up (in a good way). As I was writing this review Casper gently offered me the dessert menu, I appreciated his attention to all the different parties at the bar. I didn't see anyone waiting for him for any amount of time. His communication with his co workers also was very comforting to hear. As a former Sous Chef I can appreciate the kitchen punctuality and maintaining great communication with BOH staff. Dessert: Casper helped me finalize on the Blueberry Pie and instead of Vanilla Ice Cream, I subbed for Mint Choc Chip Ice Cream. This was well worth it, the warmth of the pie automatically brought me to a food heaven on earth, the ice cream was very straight to the classic mint ice cream, and I am not usually a pie nor ice cream person. Yet it was the perfect choice for my dessert stomach. And a great way to fuse dinner with a sweet ending. Overall I enjoyed this experience for less than 50 bucks. Chef's kiss. and for a second NYC slowed down. Thank you. read more

This remains one of my go-to spots in the area, especially when people visit from out of town. Super cozy and delicious. Fantastic draft beer menu. Good happy hour. read more
A nice little neighborhood-y spot. It's dimly lit and a little loud with conversation bouncing off the walls from all directions, but the friendly service and food made up for it. I enjoyed my salad (beets, arugula, ricotta, walnuts) and my companion enjoyed her beer and fries (not pictured but the 'chips' were crispy well done shoe strings). I'd come back. read more
I'm officially OBSESSED with The Lowry. My husband I came here on a whim because our first choice for dinner was closed and it was the best thing that could have happened. Literally everything was amazing. As soon as we walked in I loved the Christmas decorations and just the overall feel of the place. Everyone on the staff was insanely friendly, from the waiter who greeted us at the door to our waitress to the bartender. We started with the pork bao buns. If there's one thing to order here it's those buns. They were just absolute perfection. Next time I'm getting an order all for myself. My dinner was The Burger and it was just incredible. My husband had the steak and wanted to switch because the burger was so good! Lastly we shared the flourless chocolate cake for dessert and it was fudgy and warm and perfect. The perfect pear cocktail lived up to its name. It was *chef's kiss*. We had the best childless night out at The Lowry and we can not wait to come back read more

Came here with friends for hangout. For sharing, we ordered: crispy brussels sprouts, and poutine. They tasted really good I ordered a burger as entree. They charged me a dollar for cheese which should be standard offering for a burger. A burger should come with lettuce, tomato, onions, and cheese as free of charge Anyhow, would not consider coming this place again in the future. This place gave me alright feeling, nothing special read more

COVID Safety: All tables inside and out are spaced accordingly One-way floor markers Outdoor seating (heated!) Staff was appropriately masked up Looking for a place with outdoor seating in the cold rain we came to Lowery and settled into a spot in the heated and ventilated tent. Our visit to the Lowery was during Sunnyside Restaurant Week (RW) April 2021. The RW menu was extensive and had offerings that were not on the regular menu (cheese croquettes). Although extensive and a great value for the RW menu, we just didn't need the dessert portion.... but those cheese croquettes . My companion and I spoke to Jane, our lovely server, who managed to score us an order of the cheese croquettes even though they were only for the RW menu. Along with the croquettes we ordered the calamari, chicken flatbread and pappardelle with sweet sausage, peas, mushrooms & light cream sauce. We were totally satisfied with our decision and wouldn't have had room for dessert. Cheese Croquettes: fried perfectly, the filling was like eating a cloud. The croquettes were more potatoey than cheesy, but still really good. Salt + Chili Calamari: run of the mill calamari. I did enjoy that it came with a couple tentacles (my fav ) although the chili was lost. Chicken Pesto Flatbread: this was the menu item that surprised me the most, even if I burned the roof of my mouth on my first bite (rookie mistake). This flatbread had the thoughtful combination of grilled chicken, pesto, mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes & parmesan which all created a harmonious bite. Pappardelle Pasta: Pappardelle is one of my favorite pastas (I realize this is a bold statement), so when I see it on a menu I am usually drawn to it like a moth to a flame. Since the Lowery is not an Italian restaurant I wasn't sure how their pasta would be, let me tell you, they did NOT disappoint! Served with chunky sweet sausage, peas, mushrooms and then tossed in a light cream sauce this was really good. If you are looking for a good meal in a nice atmosphere, look no further. read more
This is my third time at this restaurant/ sports bar. I had to call in advance to ask about the tv's as I don't recall seeing it there. The person answering the phone said whatever sporting event we want to watch will be played. I'm glad that they had the projector running too. The food was just alright, but what can you expect as they serve array of items like from pasta to burgers, their drinks weren't that great. Maybe I chose the wrong specialty drinks? I'll just have to order drinks that I know will be tasty. The other two times that I've been to the restaurant I've only had beers so I now know that their food is just plain bar food and nothing to rave about. read more
Cuisine: 8 Service: 8 Decor: 7 Value: 7 Overall: 8 Three of us had an excellent experience at Lowery few nights ago, even during this crazy pandemic. The setup for social distancing was good, food and service were delightful as well. We ordered the cheese curd appetizer, house burger, chicken sandwich, and a flatbread. All of the portions were big in size, just what everyone wants from pub food. Let's start with the delicious cheese curds. They are crispy and gooey, how they should be, but rarely done this well. With that said, it's the avocado aioli that takes it to another level. Maybe my favorite item of the night. Burger was excellent too, with a large beef patty cooked medium rare, some pickles, fried onions, on a brioche bun. Also, another sauce that is absolutely amazing. Well done Lowery! The popular chicken sandwich could have been a show-stopper, with an awesome ciabatta bread, only if they didn't over fried the chicken. That left some of the breading burnt and meat somewhat dry. However, I would definitely give this another try. If there was a letdown, I thought the flatbread with coppa and mozzarella was average at best. The bread itself was decent, but the tomato sauce lacked some zest and the meat was not spread evenly across. This has been a neighborhood hotspot for a while now, consistently packed. However, during these times, we were able to enjoy a extremely scrumptious meal, without waiting on line, before it gets too cold for dining outside. read more

Dislike : The buffalo Mac cheese needs to come back on the menu it was sooooo good. Cute place I love how cozy it is. I can come here every day. Stopped in on a rainy Friday for a burger I got the chicken sandwich instead. It looks amazing but it lack flavor. I asked for chipotle mayo that lacked too. read more
I have been pretty impressed in what Sunnyside has had to offer. Been here twice and its consistent quality of food and drinks makes it deserve a 5 star. Last time I was here I had a steak Benedict off the brunch menu. The steak was something id expect out of a steakhouse, it was very juicy and had alot of flavor. The drinks are also very tasty here, they keep changing but the blueberry mojito I had was on point. Also the prices here are very reasonable. The atmosphere here is pretty laid back and the service staff were very friendly. I will be back for more brunch! read more
**Delivery Review** Wanted something substantial for a Saturday evening meal, so placed an order through DoorDash from this restaurant. Large menu of pub favorites, albeit on the expensive side. Opted for the Burger w/Mozzarella Cheese ($19.50) as well as the Honey Chili Chicken Wings ($13). Order arrived within the 45 minute delivery window, relatively warm in cardboard containers. Wings are eight to an order, smothered in sauce and scallions. Overall disappointed in these as the meat itself didn't taste fresh and the wings weren't as spicy as I would have hoped. The oil also pooled at the bottom which didn't help the last couple wings that settled there. Burger is much better - cooked to the right temperature, pairing well with the addition of the cheese. Fries are double-fried, making for a crisp batch, though couldn't finish the entire pile. Wouldn't order from here too much because of the price. Next time would stick with just the burgers/sandwiches. read more
