My husband chose The Queensboro to celebrate his birthday with a brunch alongside my grandparents, and it felt like a great chance to revisit a spot we'd previously enjoyed for lunch and dinner. Food: 3.5/5 We made it a point to try a range of brunch options. My grandfather ordered the sweet potato and chorizo hash, I went with the two-egg combo with pork sausage (eggs over easy), and my husband chose the Moroccan eggs. Overall, the food was good and flavorful, especially if you enjoy dishes with a bit more nuance and influence from Spanish or Mexican flavors. That said, as someone who leans more toward classic American diner-style brunch, it didn't fully hit that nostalgic spot for me. It's not that anything was bad--it just wasn't the most memorable brunch I've had. Still, it was nice to explore a different side of their menu beyond the burgers, fries, and pasta we'd tried before. Service: 4/5 The staff were genuinely kind and welcoming, which made the experience pleasant. However, they do rely on a QR code-style menu, which can be a bit of a learning curve--especially for those who prefer a more traditional ordering experience. During the brunch rush, things definitely got busy and a bit overwhelmed, so service slowed down slightly. One tip: if you already know what you want, it's best to order everything upfront to avoid delays. Vibe: 3.5/5 Like many New York spots, space is tight. Even as a party of four, we were seated at a small square table, which could be challenging if you have strollers or extra belongings. That said, the space still feels cozy and neighborhood-friendly--great for a casual brunch, just not the most spacious. All in all, It's a solid neighborhood brunch spot with interesting, flavor-forward dishes and kind service. I wouldn't call it my top brunch destination, but I'd come back if I were in the area--especially if I was craving something a little different from the usual diner fare. read more

Food: My husband ordered the chicken jersey dish & I ordered the Brussel sprouts salad with grilled chicken. For some reason I thought it was more of a hot salad but it wasn't.

The Queensboro - Gastropubs Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

The Queensboro might mistakenly be called a gastropub, but that would be doing it a disservice; it's a neighborhood 3rd space where community gets built, it's a place you can go from day-to-night (it functions as a sort of co-working space during the day, and hosts lively events many evenings of the week), and it's got truly excellent food and drink. I'd say there's nowhere quite like it in Jackson Heights, and I do feel really lucky that it's in the neighborhood. One of my favorite Queensboro events is the Endless Summer series they run in the warmer months, featuring Hawaiian drink and food specials (the chef is from Hawai'i!), with impressive homemade Spam in the musubi and nostalgic, fun, well-crafted tiki drinks that will knock you out! I really love the staff here and many of them have worked at the Queensboro for years; they're incredibly warm and treat everyone like a regular. I appreciate what the Queensboro does for the community, and I really feel like I'm part of a neighborhood ecosystem when I come here. It's a gem! read more

Service was so friendly! Quick and efficient! The ambience was fun and chill. They had a rustic feel. It seems like a fine place to bring kids because there were a lot of families with their small kids! My friends and I enjoyed our dishes very much and our cocktails were great and well balanced. We ordered chilaquiles verdes with chicken, potato gratin, and eggs Norwegian. Both of my friends enjoyed their dishes a lot. I enjoyed mine as well. It was well balanced. They offered my friend's daughter some coloring crayons and a page for coloring! I would come back for a nice brunch/lunch/dinner! read more

The service here was great. I went earlier in the day but the bar tender was so nice and we talked for a long time. He was wonderful. This place is right near my dentist's office and I decided to stop in lol. Though it was random I thoroughly enjoyed it. They have pretty unique menu options too and I was down to try them. I had this sandwich which some pretty eclectic toppings but it was delicious! I really enjoyed it. And the inside feels homey. There's so many plant s it kind of looks like a green house. It's definitely a spot I would go back too! Looking forward to my next visit read more

I finally made it back to The Queensboro for dinner after having an exceptional brunch experience there a couple of years ago. I was with my husband, brother, and dog, and we reserved a table outside (we called beforehand to make sure it was okay to have our dog outside with us, and they were incredibly accommodating and kind). This place is such a neighborhood gem, and I can confidently say that if I lived a little bit closer, I would come here on a weekly basis. The food is so good, and everyone there is so welcoming and sweet. Honestly, the service was amazing from the minute we arrived until we left. They even brought a bowl of water out for our pup. In terms of food, the clam garlic bread was as decadent as I remembered, and paired with their delicious clam chowder, it was even better! Their clam chowder is easily the best I've had in Queens (or even Queens and Brooklyn combined). I also loved the halloumi mushroom skewers and their generously plump shrimp cocktail. My husband had the steak, which he said was extremely flavorful, tender, and perfectly cooked. My brother had the cheeseburger, which he was very happy with as well. The roasted rainbow carrots were a tasty side. We ate and drank like royalty, and yet the bill was very reasonable in the end. I can't wait to return soon and I wish this place continued success. They truly deserve it on every level! read more

The food is amazing! You can tell it is made fresh. The only critique on that is the fact that there aren't a ton of things on the menu, in my opinion I like a big menu and get to select what I'd like to eat but I respect the decision. They're so nice! They speak Spanish so do not worry, they allow dogs, and are always cautious of food allergies and will always make sure you are ok. This is in a wonderful neighborhood. There are many establishments and it is very cute and comfy. I have also been here at night and it is casual but also fancy, you see people in dresses and suits but you are not pressured to wear a certain things, which is AMAZING. This is the place to go if you want a casual meal and at night, a fancy destination. read more

Ambiance and good food....local flare, neighbors and a lot more! The cocktails are also great!

I came here for an early dinner with my boyfriend and his mother. We were seated quickly and taken our order right away. I had their cosmo and their shrimp and chorizo pasta. As a starter, we ordered their shrimp cocktail. It was very refreshing and I was surprised that they used jumbo shrimp. My cosmo was good, not the best one I have had tho. It was a bit smaller than I expected and it was more in the bitter side instead of sweet. My pasta was absolutely delicious, the shrimp were well cooked and the sauce they used was not too heavy and was very tasty. I expected chunks of chorizo in the pasta but instead it was grounded pieces which didn't overpower the whole pasta. I wish they did have more options on their menu; some of their items seem so far fetched that some of the pickier people might find it hard to select something; my mother in law ended up ordering a burger with fries. read more

Food was under seasoned and unnecessarily expensive. The creme brûlée was decent but it still lacked some more lavender flavor. The hibiscus tea was very watered down. Service started off good. But when my omelet arrived underdone, and I asked another server for help, he said he'd have them make me another one even though it was cooked through. That rubbed me the wrong way. It gets very full very fast on the weekends for brunch. read more

The Queensboro - Pork adobo (Filipino cuisine ) with fennel and beets . Yummy ! - Gastropubs Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

Nice brunch spot. Could have better drinks, needs skilled bartenders. Not too keen on servers who like to tell their customers what would be best for them to drink and eat when I'm capable of figuring that out myself. That was pretty strange but otherwise great food And great ambience. read more

My perfect Sunday in Jackson Heights would start with brunch at The Queensboro. Conveniently located not far from the Jackson Heights farmers' market (which would be my next stop), it's situated down a more quiet side street, making it a solid place to dine al fresco. The menu changes seasonally which helps keep things feeling fresh and new at The Queensboro. The drinks are strong and well-priced, and the menu has a variety of different options from different culinary influences, with a strong Latin theme. Some may say that this makes the restaurant lack identity while situated in the middle of the most diverse borough of NYC, but I've found it helpful when bringing a large group who are all craving different things. Everyone can find something they'll like on this menu, and they cater to dietary restrictions and allergies as well. There's a decent amount of vegetarian offerings, too. On my last visit we split one of the waffle specials which was the right move, along with some burgers and a benedict special featuring a bagel topped with giant slabs of bacon. Everything was delicious, but we did find the service to be a bit slow. Not a deal breaker, just something to be aware of if you're coming in this place with a hard out time. read more

Food is great here but not a fan of the ordering system. You can the QR code and place the order on the app and start a tab. No service other than them bringing the food out. As for the food the pizza was fire. It is detroit style but without the crunchy cheese crust. Very good and light. The cobb salad was lovely and was loaded with ingredients. There arent many appetizers either. We ordered some veggie chips which were decent. They have a lot more drink options but weren't drinking. I would come back now that I know what to expect but it took a minute to get my bearings. read more

The Queensboro is a really nice spot to have a sit down meal. They have a variety of interesting menu options, and they even have a pretty extensive brunch menu on the weekend. They had a special for brunch when I went that reminded me a lot of a shakshuka. It was delicious, and delightfully warm on a cold winter day. However, my girlfriend got a cheeseburger, and was less impressed. It seemed like the burger was a very basic cheeseburger, without much seasoning or anything notable about it. That said, it wasn't prepared badly, just wasn't something she'd get again. So, with the food, your mileage may vary, but there are definitely options here that are extremely good. read more

The Queensboro is one of our favorite spots in NYC. The food is out of this world and never misses. Every dish is consistently delicious, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. My wife and I try to come several times a month, and it is always a highlight. What truly sets this place apart is the staff. They are incredibly hardworking, warm, and personable. It always feels like we are being welcomed by old friends. And they treat our pup like royalty. It is rare to find a place that is not just dog friendly but genuinely dog loving. Great food, amazing people, and a cozy neighborhood vibe that keeps us coming back. The Queensboro is an absolute gem. read more

We did go back and had a similar experience. Food was dropped at our table and the waiter left and we had no condiments etc (no butter or jam for toast) and had to go find someone while the food is getting cold. read more

Good brunch. Husband got the pancakes (that dulce de leche butter was killer). I had the chorizo hash, which was also very good. Coffee was fine. Service was a little slow, but it was brunch so maybe "leisurely" was the right mode for things. It was a little loud inside (and there was live music too). But overall, this was a fine place for a meal. read more

I came here for a brunch with one of my friends, I was kind of hyped because she told me that this was a great place and she love it, but I was a bit disappointed and was not impressed with this place. Is kind of hard to scan a menu and order and pay from the QR code, without interaction with the services, I like my interaction with the staff because I love to ask about the menu, so having this feature at least for me is useless. You only can order from the brunch menu on weekends the variety is not that much which kind sucks if you ask me. For my main disk, I order the Roasted Jerk Chicken Two pieces of dark meat chicken seasoned with Jamaican jerk spices. The plate comes with two sides for my side I order French Fries and avocado. The portion of the chicken was pretty big and the season was pretty good, spicy with a good taste, the fries were not that good and the avocado was fresh and had a good taste. The services did a good job after we requested one, ask you need to do this as they have the QR option. read more

The Queensboro - Roasted Chicken - Gastropubs Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

My friend hosted her baby shower here in their private events room downstairs. It was pretty roomy and had two long tables for our group to share. They brought over a couple pitchers of sangria and mimosas for the group to share and made sure to continue refilling it. The foods they brought over were some muffins/pastries which were ok. Afterwards they brought over a platter of chopped fruits which were nice and refreshing. They also had a sweet potato hash with chorizo which was my favorite item. A giant platter of "frittata" was also given to us but honestly it just tasted like steamed eggs and was bland. Finally, they brought out some Belgium waffles which were quite dry even with the added whipped cream and strawberries it came with. For the first few items though they didn't bring out enough portions so I didn't get to eat everything. Additionally, they didn't give out many serving utensils which is annoying in a large group setting. Finally, the food quality itself was also pretty average. All in all, an ok brunch area for a large group setting. read more

Been here a few times and failed to write them a review. Lovely establishment just off the heart of Jackson Heights. Food is great, staff never fail to disappoint.

The Queensboro - Condensed milk toast - Gastropubs Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

Appetizers- excellent and timely with an upscale variety of limited options. Clambread, mushroom/cheese skewers were excellent. Entree's were less than stellar close to bad. The pork adobo was more like cubed pot roast. The jerk chicken and the fried chicken was overcooked, The vegan burger was not recognizable and without flavor/test. The fish sandwich had less palatable than fast food. Vegetable side dishes other than fries were unsightly and chewy. Service- Our waiter was excellent and the only reason we left a tip. Our food was late, arriving one and a half hours after we ordered it. The manager was belligerent and raised his voice when we asked how much longer for our food to arrive after one hour. (The only reason I did not retaliate is that my children were celebrating medical school graduation) Ambience-none except for casual dining. read more

Great vibe from the moment u walk in. Food was phenomenal, white wine was delish. Wish we could have stayed longer as the musicians were setting up just as we were heading out. Lots of different sized groups, large families, singles & couples at the bar. Menu is scanned through phone & ur order is placed there as well. Service was on point & attentive. Will def go back as the menu options all sounded quite delicious, we started w shrimp cocktail then had the blue fish & jerk chicken. Ended w their creme brulee which was honestly average. read more

The Queensboro is a great, lively brunch spot in Queens! I love to come here on Sundays for brunch. The menu is varied and there's something for everybody! One of my favorites is the Eggs Norwegian - it's a brunch staple and I really love how they make their home fries here. I also like to get a single side of pancakes, which comes with an absolutely delectable dulce de leche butter as a topping. Definitely get this if you come here during brunch hours. I have not been here for lunch / dinner, but would definitely give it a try sometime! read more

I first stumbled upon The Queensboro while I was apartment hunting in Jackson Heights two years ago. A few months later, I returned on the day I moved in, and it's become my home away from home. You can tell that the staff really cares about the community. I've had holiday dinners there with my mom, weekend brunch with friends from out of town, happy hour with neighbors, and I regularly visit during weekdays to get some work done. It's a great atmosphere and the server that's usually there during the day, Trey, is super friendly and attentive. He always seems to know when I need more coffee (in all honesty, I usually need more coffee...) I can't wait until it gets a little warmer and I can enjoy sitting outside! read more

Nice restaurant with a rustic, modern interior. Ordering and payment can be done using an online app or you can opt for the traditional way. I went here for brunch and the food was good. I would not recommend the hibiscus tea drink though. It was small and bland. The pancakes are nice and fluffy with a delicious dulce de leche butter. I had the Moroccan baked beans (shashuka). It was very good but the toasted bread was a bit too hard. The home fries are more like roasted potatoes but still good. I thought both dishes needed some more salt though. read more

The Queensboro almost feels like an establishment that belongs in Manhattan / Brooklyn (#1), but feels surprising to be in Jackson Heights even after making its arrival several years ago. It has all the vibes of a gentrification wave happening in western Queens with its hipster vibes and semi-contemporary brunch feel. Ultimately, it's a good alternative to the Latin scene and serves as a fun destination on this stretch of Northern Blvd. On a whole, it's a good looking place that looks awesome during the daytime with the natural lighting and intimate enough for an evening date spot. There are plenty of tables for group dining action and a solid bar for stocked full of quality spirits. The greenery throughout the restaurant is a nice touch and I appreciate the hooks beneath the tables for purses and bags. That's just genius. Regarding their food, it almost lacks identity given all the randomness across the menu. Was it a ploy to showcase the borough's diverse dining scene or it was a series of random things that the chef / management simply liked / thought was trendy? From cheeseburgers to jerk chicken to rigatoni alla norma, it is a little confusing to be honest. While I can say their hanger steak is a thumbs up, as well as the tamarind beef stew, I can't really get behind the pizzas or szechuan bok choy. (#2) Then there is the brunch, which is I think the best bet for anyone looking to come here. There are all the usual suspects (pancakes, waffles, avocado toast, eggs benedict), some homage to locals (BEC, etc) and others (chilaquiles, "kim chee" + spam fried rice, eggs Norweigian, etc). Combined with one of their many cocktails, it can be a fun time overall. I also love that they showcase local breweries with their beers on tap. The prices are a little higher than most of the neighborhood, which is to be expected. I feel the service is always on point and I appreciate that they're bringing a little something different to the neighborhood. They've done a solid job in pivoting during the pandemic by setting up some good outdoor spaces and I hope they'll continue to thrive in the neighborhood for years to come. _____________ (#1) Williamsburg perhaps? (#2) Yes, I know. read more

Another great visit to The Queensboro. My wife and I have been many times over the past few years or so and have never been disappointed. That includes visits with various friends and family. Today I took a friend of mine there for brunch. As usual the staff was very friendly and attentive and didn't hurry us or anyone else out. He ordered a meal with spam, rice and egg that he enjoyed so much that he literally walked over to the open kitchen and gave his compliments to the chef. I again went with their wonderful take on the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. The bacon is so good. We shared a small pitcher of blood orange mimosas, which was very flavorful and provided several and enough servings. They had the Mets' game on the big screen. The music is low so you can talk to each other without having to yell. read more

The Queensboro consistently has inventive, delicious dishes, served in a safe and trendy environment. Covid safety: They follow NYC Covid guidelines. Checking vaccine status, the tables have ample space between them, contactless ordering and payment, and hand sanitizer at each table. The staff: Always friendly and knowledgeable. Happy to catch up and chat, explain the menu, or offer a suggestion. The food: Fresh. Inventive. Delicious. I have had many meals at the Queensboro, never disappointed, happy to say they have all been thoughtfully prepared and seasoned perfectly. If you need a little heat for your meal, ask for one of their house made hot sauces, they will not disappoint. It's always a difficult menu decision when we visit, do I go tried and true or do I order a new menu item- it's good to go with friends and family and do some splits. read more
