Great local spot in Astoria. The food the drinks the atmosphere the prices. All spot on!

Salad is phenomenal. Atmosphere is comfortable,and elegant with a rustic vibe. Nerts all taste requirements.

Great place with a cool , fun atmosphere with lovely comfortably chic inside dining and fun , creative and cool outside dining . We enjoyed amazing Short Rib Tacos and Frickles ( fried pickles ) to start . The meat was tender and juicy and the toppings of pickled carrots , Asian pear , cabbage and toasted sesame seeds on a white flour tortilla were just perfect . My man enjoyed crispy and juicy fried chicken . I had Smoked Mozzarella chicken Parm over fresh fettuccine with pomerdoro sauce , just heavenly . The smoked mozzarella was a perfect salty bite . The house made desserts of mixed berry cheesecake and a chocolate coconut cake were totally on point . We live nowhere near here and we will be back because it was a delicious meal in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Thanks Pomeroy! read more

Been here twice, had the skirt steak the first time (100% recommend) and the mac & cheese lives up to the hype! Had the fish tacos this time around and they were fantastic, split the honey chipotle wings with my sister and she had the gnocci with shrimp wrapped in purcciuto (please excuse the spelling) everything we had tasted delicious! The owner/manager remembered me from my last visit, and greeted me as if I were his own son. Such a great experience. Looking forward to coming back soon! read more

I had brunch here and the food was awesome. Great service, the wait staff were super friendly & made us feel at home. I had the Pat La Frieda burger with fries. NO complains AT ALL! Food was excellent and portions are great! Really cool ambiance, friendly and helpful waiters, good cocktails. My only criticism Is you can't do substitutions here. I wanted to substitute fries for a salad. Other then that, everything was great. Great place. Great vibe. Friendly bartenders and staff. Solid food. Good location and perfect spot to enjoy a few drinks. Highly recommend! read more

All I get is the fried chicken whenever I go - it is great. Good weekend vibe (crowded), service is excellent under said crowded conditions, so just sit back and enjoy conversation and good food. read more

The food and atmosphere were excellent but it was the service that blew us away! It is so rare these days to find a restaurant owner who seems to care what their customers think. Tommy welcomed us at the door and made sure every aspect of the visit was top-notch. It is clear that he and the team take great pride in what they do. It has been a long time since I've enjoyed eating out that much! Thanks from your friends at Cornell! read more

Came from LaGuardia airport for a lite bite. Cocktails were good and so many choices! The vibe was cozy, rustic , and crowded. Manager/owner was present and engaging. Octopus dish and Mac and cheese were clear winners. The shrimp dish was just ok. They Squeezed five people into the table next to us. I thought for sure the girls hair from her ponytail was going to fall into our food, that's how close she was. At that point we were finishing up and I was ready to leave. Didn't want to stick around for coffee or dessert. This isn't the place to go if you like space between you and the other patrons. Noise level was high and I thought it was overpriced.. read more

Totally cozy if not a lil' pricey for what it is. Good food, excellent mac and cheese. Service was lovely.

Whats up Yelpie Frandssss. Today i was out and about to indulge on a good fried chicken ! Top on the list was red rooaster but the lines and wait were insane soo i came to Astoria and found out about Pomeroy. According to them they are an All new american fair but in reality its an all america food with modern touch. Enough with the story but what i liked was that there menu was short and up to the point. I went for the fried chicken and it was amazing. Half chicken cut into 5 pcs. Well seasoned excellent brining perfect crust Served with 2 sauce No sides bs because the chicken is sOOOooo dam good. Huevous rancheros was ok. A bit pricy but well worth a try in my opinion. Why ? Because chicken is dam good ! Try it for self. Have a wonderful Feast ! Next stop Marthas bakery across ( pigout sunday ) read more

Met up with my girlfriends for a birthday celebration here the other day and we had a BLAST! Food was DELICIOUS, staff was amazing and I loved the decor and vibes of this place. They were rockin' some good tunes, too! We had the Fried Mozzarella to start with. Then for dinner we had the pork belly & watermelon salad (so, good), followed by a pineapple glazed pork chop (can't remember the exact name and don't see it on the online menu), and finished off with the Chicken Fried Whole Bird with a side of Mashed Potatoes and Cauliflower with a jalapeño pesto sauce. Everything was just delicious! I definitely ate way too much, and left rockin' a nice food baby (happy I wore a lose fitting dress) haha! Can't wait to come back here again! read more

Definitely make a reservation. Otherwise, the food...10/10. First time in a while I've had Mac and cheese that didn't completely destroy my intestines. The salads are big enough to feed two. Can't wait to see what brunch brings to the table read more

Great place, great food and great outdoor area to sit and people watch. Fredi was a very friendly and nice waitress. We brought our dog and they were really cool about it read more

I stood outside this establishment with a camera and was nearly assaulted by the manager or bouncer or whoever he was for taking a picture (never mid all the ones both interior and exterior that can be seen here and on instagram) so, no, I won't be patronizing this establishment. read more

First time here and I am speechless. When I tell you our dishes were amazing. Words do t do it justice!!! Food presentation was absolutely beautiful, food tasted amazing, staff was also delightful!!!! I must come back when I visit NY again. So very happy I saw this place‼ read more

My parents happened to be in queens helping me move a few things so my boyfriend and I mentioned this place to grab a quick bite to eat. It was around 11:30ish on a Sunday so the perfect brunch time. When we arrived there were only a few other tables filled which was fine with us as it was perfect to relax and enjoy the food and talk. For food my mom and boyfriend both got the special which was an omelet with cheese, sausage, and peppers and onions i believe. It also came with home fries and a small side salad. My dad got the huevos rancheros and I decided to get the chicken sandwich. For drinks my dad got the bloody mary, which he said had a kick to it but he likes spicy so it was perfect. My boyfriend decided to get the john daly, which was really good, it kind of tasted like sour mix. I decided to just get a mimosa. All the food was really good and the services was awesome. The omelet was huge and very filling. The chicken sandwich was really good too. I saw a table next to use get the chicken and waffles for two which i deff want to try next time i go. The only reason i'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that i wish they gave some sort of drink deal with brunch, such as bottomless or at least a complimentary one if buy an entree. The meal and drinks came to around $100 before tip which i think was reasonable. I'm sure I'll be back soon! read more

Great burgers, kale/Brussels salad was my favorite and my husband enjoyed the music! Great place and casual. Service was great too.

Great drinks, excellent eggs Benedict! Every part of the meal was very tasty, would return.

I've been here twice and every time I've had a great experience. The drinks were fantastic, and the food was great. I had the halloumi veggie sandwich. Do yourself and get their homemade hot sauce. It's delicious. Their brunch is also fantastic and what a deal. I got the eggs Benedict- I'm always sad when the eggs aren't runny but these did not disappoint. Fantastic all around read more

The Pomeroy - Egg Benedict with Bacon! - New American Near Me - Astoria, New York

The service at the Pomeroy was fantastic. Had a reservation for 7 people for 7pm on a Friday night and unfortunately I was going to be late for the reservation. I called the restaurant around 4 that evening and spoke to a gentleman, unsure of whether or not he was the owner or manager but he was definitely in charge and he could not have been more accommodating. I explained I was going to be late and he not only said it wasn't a problem but said we could come in whenever we wanted. He said he'd make sure whenever we came in, there would be a table for 7 ready to go for us and I thought that was outstanding. We moved our reservation to 730 and the restaurant was full, people sitting at the bar and tables occupied. There was a tight squeeze getting into the seats at our table. The chair on the end meant I had to get up every time someone wanted to use the bathroom which wasn't a big issue but it was a tight space. I was surprised by the menus we were given because it had some options missing compared to the one I had been looking at online, more so when it came down to their wine by the glass options. There was a veg bowl listed on the online menu that sounded amazing but they didn't have that as an option on the menu they gave us. I had also read in other reviews there were specials but we weren't told about any specials so maybe they just didn't have any that night. I'm always the pain when we dine out because I'm gluten free and while their menu did indicate a few things that were GF, most of their most of their appetizers and small plates were not. Luckily our server knew what could be made gluten free and that was great, additionally there was signage indicating that all of the salads could be made vegan and gluten free. For appetizers were ordered 2 frickles for the table, two orders of meatballs, some arancini rice balls, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. Love Brussels sprouts but absolutely hate bacon, luckily I was able to eat around that. Sprouts were awesome so was the cauliflower and the rest of the girls seemed to really enjoy the other spread of food. For entrees we all got salads, some of us shared, I got my own. I got the kale and Brussels sprout salad which was a heaping portion of greens to say the least, topped with slivered almonds, ricotta cheese, red onions and apple. I added grilled chicken to my salad as well. Quick note about the salad, the red onion was too much, there was so much in there, little to no apple and it was overpowering. Very small portion of grilled chicken as well so the $23 cost for a salad was very overpriced in my opinion. The dressing was great, very light, but it was primarily kale, brussels and red onion. Friends enjoyed their Cobb salad. They only had two dessert options, which surprised me, tiramisu and carrot cake. We skipped out on the dessert. Overall we had a really nice time, the appetizers were enjoyed, the salads were good enough and our server was awesome. She was super friendly, knowledgable about how much food we should order for the group, gave us plenty of time to decide what we wanted and didn't make us feel rushed whatsoever. We were all catching up and hadn't seen each other for a long time so it was awesome that we felt we could take our time. I'd definitely recommend this place to everyone, great customer service, tasty food, cool atmosphere, delicious sounding cocktails, great experience. read more

Wow! This is my new favorite place ever! Super reasonable prices for the area, EXTREMELY friendly staff. Tom was so nice and accommodating! The fried pickles and fried chicken were delicious. The breading on the fried chicken yummooo. The drinks were even better. Their moscow mule, aperol spritz , and house margarita were so good! The atmosphere is so chill and relaxing too. I look forward to many more nights at The Pomeroy read more

The best burger and fries in Astoria.The service is awesome too.Love it here,the staff is so welcoming,and the food is so hearty.

The Pomeroy has raised the bar in Astoria. The decor is reminiscent of an old pub/resto-lounge/hispter chic.... you know what I mean! It's all the rage now, and it works here. The staff were extremely good, I mean on point. The food was excellent: Scallops seared to sweet perfection, tart and refreshing olive medley and a skirt steak with chimichurri cha ching !!! I had a couple of Margaritas on Happy Hour special and I was living ! I would go back and order the same exact thing all over again it was that good. read more

The buratta salad is the TRUTH. That fried chicken is still the best in Astoria imho. And Nievh (Apologies for the jacked spelling) is def one of my fav neighborhood bartenders. Can't wait til things get back to normal and bar service resumes. read more

My fave restaurant on Ditmars! Food is consistently delicious. The fish tacos and short rib tacos are BOMBBBBBB. SO good. The drinks are amazing. I always get Norm's Old Fashioned but this past time I got a different drink and it was amazing. Don't remember the name, but it doesn't matter. Whatever drink you order, it will be delicious. Their fried chicken rocks. Their frickles are so addictive and yummy. I can't say anything bad about this place. One weekend I ate here three days in a row. It's THAT good. read more

Used to be such a great bar / restaurant. Old Fashioneds are pretty much watered down with sugar. I could make a much better old fashioned!! And the customer service is borderline fcking terrible! She had the audacity to pull one of us aside to say "you need to calm down." Excuse me?!?! We weren't being THAT loud!!! And we were dining OUTSIDE WHERE IT'S LOUD WITH CARS AND MOTORBIKES ANYWAYS. Even then - shouldn't they be happy we were hanging out and supporting the business especially during COVID era?! The way she approached us and said it in a condescending tone is just terrible customer service. This - coming from another person who also works in the hospitality business. "You need to calm down," she said. Are you kidding me?? We're not your goddamn 5 yr old kids. What she should had said - "oh I'm sorry. We received complaints that your party is a bit too loud. We would appreciate if you could tone it down a little please. So, others can enjoy their time as well..." Definitely needs work on her wording and tone of her voice. Guess I won't be coming back ever again - even if the food is amazing. read more

I came to this restaurant for drinks, having already had dinner before but ended up eating a whole second meal because of how DELICIOUS the food looked and then tasted. I highly recommend the mac and cheese (the panko crust and shell pasta is to die for) as well as the frickles and the short rib tacos. I would take the 45 minute train from my apartment in Manhattan for this place any day. The service is amazing and so intentional with every interaction! Easily a new favorite spot I will be taking all my friends to. read more

Came here yesterday with friends for a meeting which was the first of many stops. I usually don't go to Astoria often but I may have to change that if this place keeps up the heat. First let's start off with the drinks. I had their signature old fashioned, and let me tell you it was strong and bitter but too damn good. Only had one of those as was feeling kinda lit lol. So now on to the food. My friends ordered the whole fried chicken, which I had a taste of. Trust and believe that chicken was off the hook, and the sauces were dope. My favorite was the honey carrot sauce, I'm in love with it. Personally I ordered the Pomeroy Burger with cheese, medium rare (the only true way to eat a burger IMO). It came with a side of slaw and shoestring fries. I'm picky about my burgers but theirs was juicy and fresh, you can tell they took the time to make this the right way. Still bummed we missed Lady Gaga by two days as she showed up for the grand opening. The best part was when one of the bartenders, Andy hooked me up with a Pepsi mixed with grenadine as an alternative to not having cherry coke. That really did it for me! Overall good vibes and a excellent dining experience made even more perfect with a menu done by one of Lady Gaga's personal chefs. read more

One of their house cocktails, Astoria Sunset is the perfect mix of sweet yet tart. It can be very dangerous because you can't taste the alcohol, but it's definitely in there! This spot Highly recommended if you're looking for a fun spot for you and your gal pals. The mozzarella sticks are triangles and the polenta fries are plated like a game of Jenga, and both taste amazing. read more

P-P-P-Pomeroy, P-P-P-Pomeroy... This is the spot where Lady Gaga's chef and longtime friend recently opened and with that consideration aside, it is actually quite a nice addition the neighborhood. The restaurant is in an open sizable space and yet feels warm and cozy with the bookshelf/wooden detailing on the walls. We purposely waited until the hype died down and the restaurant was able to iron out some of the opening kinks to give it a fair shot. First, I love that this is over on the Ditmars side of Astoria. We have a few places like this but some more options are welcomed. The staff was very friendly and fully explained the specials for the night and was very helpful. The drinks were well made and priced comparable to the other neighborhood spots. We shared the 1/2 Bird ($16) which consisted of 5 pieces all seasoned well and nicely fried. It came with two sauces, a delicious mild jalapeno-cilantro dip and a sweet honey carrot dip. We also had the Mac + Cheese ($15) appetizer which came in a fair sized dish much more filling that we thought. The shell pasta used was great because it held the yummy cheese with each bite. We had a side of fries which seemed a bit small for $5 but was crispy and a good add-on to our meal. Some of the items on the menu are a great deal but some of the pricier large plates seemed small in portion size when some of the people around us ordered them so be careful of that when ordering. Overall: the Small Plates tend to be a good size, Large Plates not so much, Chicken Fried is a good deal, and the Veggie + Potatoes sides are a bit small. The Pomeroy does feel like a neighborhood joint and has a nice warm touch. The service is friendly and expedient without feeling rushed. The food and drinks are delicious. Being in the neighborhood, I'll be coming back soon. read more

Now, here is a lesson in GaGastronomy... On October 7th, twitter exploded with the landing of one of the world's most uniquely talented singers and actresses smack-dab in the heart of Astoria, Queens. While images of Lady GaGa were retweeted and shared across every corner of social media--and local blogs momentarily blacked out--the reason behind her appearance is the real reason I took notice and reached out for a closer look. The Pomeroy is a new neighborhood restaurant in Astoria under the brilliant direction of Bo O'Connor--who was most recently the personal chef for her childhood friend, Stefani Germanotta (a.k.a. Lady Gaga), on her global tour. O'Connor's menu features seasonal and fun new American fare that includes snacks such as frickles (fried pickles) with yogurt dill dip and arancini (rice balls) with porcini and Fontina Val D'Aosta. Small plates range from golden fried mozzarella triangles to a mound of mashed avocado crowned with grapefruit wedges, chili, lemon zest, and a birds nest of pea shoots accompanied by toast points. Knockout entrees include an exquisitely juicy fried half or whole chicken accompanied with surprisingly addictive honey carrot and jalapeno pesto dipping sauces, a skirt steak with herb chimuchurri, and a luxurious mound of red wine and chipotle braised short ribs. Desserts like the insanely addictive brown butter pecan bars round out the menu, and you won't want to stop before diving into a rich boat of banana bread pudding blanketed in dark chocolate. A seasonal cocktail menu features twists on the classics, like the Pom-Sidecar with cognac, fresh pineapple and lemon juice, and a cherry--or the Ditmars Blvd, with whiskey, honey, fresh lemon juice, smoked lemon peel, and rosemary. In step with O'Connor's vision, British designer Benjamin Kay of Adorn Designs re-invented the food-centric London gastropub in a uniquely New York way in his design of The Pomeroy. The relaxed, sun-filled 50-seat room features high ceilings and warm, wood paneled walls with cream bead boards and moldings. The space has simple, hand-crafted tables alongside vintage green porcelain and white tin lighting from the 1940's, all salvaged from an old factory in Massachusetts. Bringing the space to life are classic mirrors, original hand-drawn illustrations, and vintage photographs from many classic American design periods. The 16-seat bar features hard white pine repurposed from an old bowling alley. Whether you are a Gypsy, an Americano, or you were Born This Way, you can relax your Poker Face and Just Dance over to Ditmars. The Pomeroy is serving up some crazy good food in a cozy new atmosphere that is sort of making me go GaGa. read more

Just got back from Pomeroy. A lot of hype for not a great quality. They don't take reservations so you have to wait a lot to get a table. We waited 45 minutes even though we were told it's going to be less than 30. Anyways that part was ok, it should be a good sign that it's crowded. Plus we thought that the food is going to make up for it. Anyways. We got our table and, wait for it. Had to wait another hour to get our food. Which also wouldn't be that great of a deal if we didn't see two other couples order the same things we did and them finishing their entire meals and paying before we even got ours, not to mention that both of the couples arrived after we ordered our food. Now the MAIN PART. Being a food critic for a long time, I've seen a lot of things and reviewed a lot of places for different magazines. This however, I haven't seen yet. After all of this when the food finally arrived their special of the day which was Chilean sea bass, was not cooked. It absolutely wasn't eatable, you couldn't even slice it with your knife how raw it was. Absolutely terrible. You can find the photo uploaded. The burger was ok, would not have it again. The only decent thing was the fried chicken. And even that was not that great since some of the pieces were underdone and bloody. We were looking forward to trying this but I hate to say it it's not worth the hype. read more

The Pomeroy - Undercooked fish - New American Near Me - Astoria, New York

I really wish I had a better experience here. I've ordered multiple times for delivery and all I wanted was to dine in. Needless to say our server was plain out terrible. I don't want anyone to do cartwheels for me but I do expect someone to check in, bring water and not find out that my order wasn't placed 40 minutes later. Very disappointing since she was giving the two tables next to ours a better service. read more

We walked into this restaurant by chance after our first day visiting Astoria came to a close. We were pleasantly surprised. Quaint atmosphere with a bar. It has indoor & outdoor seating. We love the dim lighting which is one of the things which made it feel cozy. We had hamburgers which were juicy & flavorful. Cooked to perfection just as we ordered. The beef tasted so premium I could have eaten it alone with no condiments. The fries were crispy & delicious. I also had a side salad which consisted of a spring mix, cucumbers, tomatoes & red onions with a little oil & vinegar dressing. This place was awesome. I would highly recommend it & the wait staff was very friendly. We are loving Astoria & the vibe we feel here. read more

The Pomeroy - Carrot cake -- enough for 3 people to share - New American Near Me - Astoria, New York

We walked into this charming pub + restaurant last evening just looking for a satisfying bite for dinner, that's all. Within moments of entering we were seated, in a lovely dining area with beautiful reclaimed wood walls. Tommy (the manager?) and Luis our waiter were attentive, witty and knew our names probably before our bottoms hit the seats. Their charisma was an added bonus to the evening! Now the food - well it far surpassed our hope for "satisfying". It was beyond DELICIOUS! From the apps (an order of meatballs, and an order of shrimp) to the entrees - every morsel was scrumptious. We were so impressed with EVERY component of this place - we inquired about hosting an upcoming Christening here, and now we have our new favorite pub - right in the heart of Astoria! read more
