    A solid neighborhood bar/restaurant in Jackson heights. The food is good, service can be high-touch, or done through their system of QR codes on each table, depending on how they're staffed. Definitely worth a stop if you're looking for solid American fare and in the hood.

    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!

    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

    Went for their apertivo tasting event. Had a great time! We had four different wine based cocktails paired with snacks. Staff is always very attentive and friendly. Everything was absolutely delicious. Look forward to more special events in the future!

    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!

    Amazing food, outstanding service (owner and server stopped by multiple times, very friendly!), and a busy, buzzy place with big windows and lots of plants. Great local beer selection.

    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.

    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.

    This is an awesome neighborhood joint. The two times I've been were both packed with people who live around the area, my family included. They have a great menu with unique items. The aesthetic is right up my alley, especially all the live plants. Things I've tried: Garlic Clam Bread - one of the unique items they have, very good Rigatoni Ala Norma, Fusili with Lamb Sausage, Shrimp & Chorizo Pasta - very good Eggs Benedict - solid Ricotta Fritters - amazing Service is very good too. Friendly and attentive. Excellent option in the area.

    Amazing array of foods on The Queensboro brunch menu, come and check it out for yourselves ! The service is very authentic as it says "About Us " on their website , I've witnessed it , they focus on their community. It's my first time going there and were they very welcoming and very accommodating. As I observed more families coming in , the way they hug sit down their customers and entertain its like all of these people are they're own families ! Never seen such a thing , love love love it ! Ambiance ? Live plants and a rustic flatware of choice , yes I do pay attention to details ! So do I need to say more ! Come and dine with the Jackson Heights community . P.S. i have to emphasize they also support and do fundraising for locals , I will come back and dine in more and also give back to the community .

    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.

    everything is delicious on this menu,great atmosphere and service in a very central locationread more

    This is one of those places that u may not notice since there is so much around the area, one day…read morewe decided to give it a try. They offer a different special for any day of the week, first time around on a Thursday Margaritas special , Tamarind & Mango nice big glass great margaritas, good tasty & nice & strong They start u off with some cake pieces, has a banana bread taste very good. Apps , we tried the Tostones con Birria very good great tasting meat & Chorizo Mac & cheese , also very good. Main dishes , Al pastor tacos & Chicken Burrito were both very good. Next time we stopped by for brunch, we got the bottomless option tried the Sangrita white, good sangrita price wise makes sense assuming u drinking more than 3-4 glasses a person. On the food Carnitas Benedict & short rib hash were both very tasty. For dessert gave the Tres Leches a try not bad, just the right amount of sweet. Another brunch visit & we tried Paloma spritz, good & Mexican coffee, pretty strong in taste. Chicken & waffles topped with bacon, very good chicken good combo dish. & the Lady's enchiladas great taste the enchiladas w the green sauce & cheese on top. Good size restaurant, small bar area towards the back, simple but colorful decor. Service overall has been good, they are attentive. Reasonable prices & u get a decent amount of food. This place has been around for some time, happy we discovered it recently overall good vibe, food & drinks, we will continues to visit from time to time.
