Service was not good. The server seemed angry -maybe bad day? The food is good and cheap. Just the energy of the place was very low. Maybe train or hire different employees? read more

I live in the area in this place is great. In the summertime especially once they've opened out the front seating area. I usually feel like I'm on vacation and completely at home all at the same time . Typically order breakfasts on the weekends from here as well.clean consistent enjoyable comfort foods. Some of these extensive item menus are hit or miss.stick with the classics and you'll be back for more read more

Small and friendly neighborhood greasy spoon. Cheap prices, good burger and fries.

Food is very mediocre. It's probably a 2.5 star rating for the food, but the problem is the consistency. Some days, the food is grosser than other days. Some days, they offer breakfast late and sometimes, they don't. It all depends on who is working. Customer service is okay. They've always been nice to me, but not memorably friendly (which i would expect from a new-ish place in a small neighborhood). The only value I would recommend are its breakfast platters, which are ridiculously cheap. Again, food isn't great but the price is unbeatable. Everything else on the menu is WAY overpriced. I ordered the $7.50 chicken fingers appetizer, which consisted of only five chicken fingers. Meanwhile, any of the breakfast platters is $5.00 tops and you get eggs, hash/fries, bread, and sausage and it's much more filling. Their pricing makes no sense. read more

Guacamole-Bacon Burger The guacamole seemed fresh, but was overpowered by the crispy bacon. A very hearty, and heavy meal. French Fries The fries are the dark and soft kind, with some skin on it. I like the real potato taste, but the texture is soft and felt a bit oily. read more

Most of the staff can get your order correct and is not rude on the phone, I order from this restaurant all the time. Albert mistakes my order all the time, always loves to yell "ONE SECOND" on the phone (literally every time he picks up the phone, when the girl who answers is beyond friendly and never makes a mistake), when he says that he usually means 3 minutes- which he said today when I asked him was so he can get peoples orders correctly, and then mine came wrong.. He is so rude, and this is not the first time I complained about him, and for such a regular customer it's ridiculous that there is an employee that I deal with regularly who is so rude and obnoxious, let alone incompetent. read more

Do not be deceived by its mediocre store front! This place is a gem!!! I was ordering on Seamless and decided to try a new place and have been thankful of that fateful click ever since. I have yet to be disappointed in any of their foods. I have tried: - BBQ baby back ribs - These ribs were not dry and had a adequate amount of BBQ (not too much that it overpowers the ribs and not too little that it can't be reheated without drying up). The dinner portion was huge and I ended up eating it for a second meal. - Mash potatoes - Wow! They are so creamy. I love the potato skins and chunkiness of it. - Soups - I have had four of their soups so far (asparagus, chowder, potato and split pea). All of which are clearly homemade and not from a freezer. They are hearty and filling. - Chocolate mousse cake - I LOVE mousse in general but this cake has more mousse than cake, which I appreciate. The cake very moist. - Salmon entree - This was really fantastic! It was grilled and seasoned to perfection. My only complaint is that this portion was a little smaller than I had expected. It did come with mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. - Philly cheese steak - This was good but nothing to write home about. It was worth its price. - Tuna melt - I think this was my least favorite. The cheese was melted but the tuna was cold. The delivery has been great. It is relatively speedy for the quality of food. One time the soup spilled in transit. I called them and they sent me a replacement one for free. I will be coming back and ordering often! read more

Great food. Cheap $$$ but great quality. Friendly people. I will defo come back the next time in in the neighborhood.

Ok, I never write reviews on yelp. But this time i'll have too - i've given this place a shot for a number of times because A- I live so close to it, and B- everyone has a bad day sometimes, so I wont not go to a place out of pure rudeness or slow serving time... but i've been to this place 4 times, and today will be the last because of the server who is always behind the bar sucks. The service was extremely slow each time me and my boyfriend had been here, and not the slow like - he's busy slow, but the ignoring your table - i have NO idea why SLOW. Ok whatever. Next time I go. The same thing. Takes orders other people who have sat down after us, we have to to ask to place the order, ask when they forget something, and ask for the check.... basically we have to ASK them how to be good waiters. Today, I go for a quick to go order because I didn't have cash to go to the deli next door. The guy behind the bar is getting his daily stuff ready for the day - no problem, your busy its cool, you don't have to be THAT nice at 7:30 in the morning, but then as i signed the check after he gave me food, I said thank you so much. This guy whose standing behind the bar COMPLETELY IGNORES ME, (yes I spoke plenty loud enough)... The food may be OK - FYI the pancakes are WAY too thick... but I wont be coming here again because the guy behind the bar sucks.... and theres too many places that serve good food and good service for me to put up with your stanky "think your better than me" attitude. read more

I'm new to Woodside. I have officially found my new favorite corner spot. These guys serve really good inexpensive food. It's not a big space so I would't bring more than a party of 4 in here. The ambiance is cozy and people are nice. BIGGEST surprise is that this place has one of the best espresso in Queens. read more

I ordered delivery the other day. I would actually give the food 3 1/2 stars (adding 1/2 because they delivered pretty fast), it didn't impress me as the pictures did. I had the veggie quesadilla that came with guacamole and sour cream. The guacamole was really good. The quesadilla was ok, a bit too grease for me. My friend had the chicken club sandwich. He thought it was really good but the side of fries a bit small. Not sure if I would order again, maybe on a lazy I-don't-feel-like-cooking night. read more

I'm a fan of the place and I go once or twice a week. The fish tacos are to die for! Two comments. First, the french fries are always a little bit soggy. I think it has to do with the oil not being up to temperature when the fries are cooking. Second, I had pancakes there for the first time last week. They're not like any pancakes I've ever had before. They were an inch thick with both sides kind of leathery. Perfectly round, like they were cooked in a six inch pan. I wonder if the chef thought I had ordered arepas? read more

So i recieved a call from this place after placing an order. They told me that They don't have an item and I can pick from the only two other items in that category. So when I asked the person what can they do for me they immediately shoot for how I paid, by credit or cash? When I told them credit, the only suggestion given to me was, you can call them (ordered through eat24) and cancel it. WTF! What kind of customer service is that! I bit my tongue and asked is there nothing else you can replace that item with and they held my order up even further with black mail telling me they would charge me for the mustard! You heard right boys and girls, they wanted me to pay for a condiment. So not only did they make no attempt at resolving my original issue but wanted to create another one. Kudos CAFE52 at your attempt at how to lose a customer. You were successful. read more

The food is always great; be it breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The service is quick and the price is right. My only complaint, and the reason for only a 3 star rating, is the noise level. The music is blaring plus they have 2 tvs on at the same time. Which forces people to talk louder. And with a small cafe and a full house, the plan of having a relaxed dining experience is impossible! read more

I can't say enough about this place. Without a doubt it was our favourite place to eat while on holidays. We decided to pop in here one morning on our way to the train, we only picked it because it was on route, but my god it exceeded our expectations. We got omelettes and bagels and they were beautiful, I also ordered a tea and the waitress noticed the Irish accent so offered me Barrys tea. It made my day. We came back another afternoon and got club sandwiches, which were also fabulous. They staff were lovely, very attentive, polite and extremely helpful. I can't rate this cafe high enough. From location to staff to service to food all was fantastic. Thank you :) read more

We arrived at dusk, and it was hard to tell from the outside that they were open, but I'm glad they were. My guacamole bacon burger was cooked perfectly and was at least as good as the one at Red Robin. My son thought his was a tad overcooked, though. We both really liked the fries. The prices are very reasonable and their menu is much more interesting than burgers, but that's what we were in the mood for. If we didn't get free breakfast at the hotel, we'd have come back the next morning. Unlike some other reviewers', our server was prompt and friendly, so it was kind of a surprise that they did more delivery business than sit-down. Maybe it's just that way on a Saturday evening in that part of Queens. Anyway, I'll be back the next time I'm in the neighborhood. read more

Best burger and fries in sunnyside. Other items are good too. But definitely try the burger and fries.

If you love "just ok" food, waitresses who ignore you or speak Spanish to you even though YOU don't speak Spanish and THEY speak English, along with blasting Latin music, no matter the clientele, then this place is good for you. No matter who waits on me, whether I'm alone or with others, staff won't write down the order. They rely on their memories. Then, will either get the order wrong or come back to your table 5 minutes later and ask...did you say chicken or steak tacos? Which soup did you want again? WRITE IT DOWN!! read more

outstandingly good food 10/10 would come back here again, was able to try their pasta and damn was it was good.

Only restaurant/diner/cafe I've ever been to in Queens in 20+ years where you can't order JUST a turkey burger. It is MANDATORY you order it "deluxe", which comes with either fries or salad and higher price. I said I only wanted the burger and was stupidly told ok, but it's the same price whether it's deluxe or just the burger on it's own. I suggested she ask someone else more knowledgeable but she insisted that's how they roll. Any time you go the waitresses look new and like deer in the headlights. They'll take your order WITHOUT writing anything down then either get the order wrong, or come back to your table and verify what you just said. Food ok but not worth the stress the staff put you through. Expect to wait long, too, because their PRIORITY is getting the delivery orders ready to go. You'll see them at the front counter preparing order after order and get them ready to go out while you sit there starving, 30 or more minutes later. read more

The delivery had taken over an hour to process and to get to my home, while the restaurant is less than 5 blocks away.

My family was in town for the Rockettes (around the corner) and it was freeeeezing cold outside. We wanted something fast, warm, and delicious in a clean place where we could sit and not have to wait. We got what we wanted and more: prices were reasonable, I got a hot reuben, my two boys got delicious, juicy burgers, and Hubby got a soup. This little self-service cafe reminds me of a combination NJ mall food court (stations for different foods, a salad bar, and tables and chairs for eating) and a Wawa (with refrigerators for juice, soda, sandwiches, etc. and shelves for cookies, chips, etc.) It was EXACTLY what we wanted and the food was great. LOVED it! The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was because it wasn't a ritzy, upscale place to dine and I did not see any staff walking around sweeping or wiping down tables between diners... but it was clean, delicious, and had a nice variety. Thank you, Cafe 52! read more

We ordered from this place many times. They have good food. However, on my last order they forgot to include an item we already paid for and told us we were wrong. Horrible customer service, so bad it can't make up for the good food. Will never order here again. read more

We ordered from there quite a few times and I am sad to say that it is not exceptional food. Burgers are dry, omelettes are tasteless, pancakes are okay I guess, wraps are not good and bagels are not fresh at all. On top of that, we got one mouldy bagel. We did call and they said they would send us another one but they never did. They actually lied to us and said that we were not home when we clearly were. This place is below mediocre. We have given it a few tries, hoping for tastier food but that is not happening. read more

Awesome corner diner-style spot in Woodside. My cousins live two blocks away, so it's always nice to start my day here when I stay with them. Pretty unassuming storefront and interior but the food is quality and extremely close to the 7 train. read more

The food here averages at 4 stars but I'm bumping this up to 5 stars because this is the only place like this near our home, plus we like most (though not all) of the offerings. They offer varied tasty diner fare that won't break the bank, that you can eat in or have delivered. The kiddo & I order from here at least once a week...the pancakes are so fluffy that my son deems them TOO thick for him! Then give them to me, silly boy! We've enjoyed many items from here - breakfast stuff, sandwiches, burgers, that French onion soup, salad, even yummy quesadillas. Haven't really ventured too much into the entrees - my dad liked the ribs he got once (he's from Texas! but also not a snob so uhh make of that what you will) but I ordered a pasta once that I'd call *just* okay .Everything else has been solid & pretty-good-to-great. I recommend ordering on Seamless...I had one botched telephone delivery because it was loud there when I called & the guy wrote down messed up address info. Delivery is speedy & if you're eating in, the staff is friendly & accommodating. It's usually pretty packed by 11:30a for brunch on the weekends so we try to get there before then or just order. Good coffee, (plus soy milk & flavored syrups!). I hope they stick around for a long while. read more

This place is more than just diner fare. Everything is prepared with such care and attention to detail--even their breakfast sandwiches. Their burgers and fries are killer; I am in love with their fish tacos. (The staff are also quite nice!) read more

Really disappointed in one of my regular go to spots. I called to place an order for delivery and was met with a new $15 order minimum? Not to mention the less than friendly staff member informing me of this. $10 is acceptable but $15? I was also told the minimum was between $10-15... Ok, which one is it? My order came to $12 and it still wasn't enough. An ongoing issue has been the staff on the phone but now this is new minimum is absurd. Very disappointing. read more

Incredibly disappointed. First of all, the menu listed is not representative of their actual menu. We tried to order the lobster mac&cheese, which they apparently don't serve anymore. I ordered the black bean burger special and, especially after the first menu discrepancy, clarified that the burger does in fact come with avocado and pineapple, as listed. And although the employee confirmed the ingredients over the phone before I ordered, the burger not only came without pineapple, but without chipotle mayo (also listed). I was literally given black bean mush on a bun. So not only was the customer service subpar, but the food wasn't nearly good enough to compensate. I will say that my boyfriend got a regular burger, which apparently was halfway decent. Overall, definitely would recommend you look elsewhere. read more

Great Veggie Quesadilla! I order delivery from them a couple times a week! I've never been disappointed!

Very good food I like a lot the mashed potatoes and chips with salsa. Good time for delivery different ages at the restaurant.

I ordered hamburger around 9:30 pm. I wanted the meat well done. When I came home to eat, I realized the meat was all burnt. Not good service! read more

The guacamole bacon cheeseburger and fries are so good. They were a bit salty. They are exactly what you see in the posted pics. They just need to follow the order better. I asked for well done burger, but got medium done. read more

I ordered a chicken burger and a coke. I got the burger an hour and ten minutes later no coke. Simple mistake i get it. Two items to get right 1 outta 2 ain't bad... :/ called about the coke and the woman said it was on the way and then it just never came... So she just stole a $1.25 from me. Hmmm. Long time client and that will be the last time i order from here. read more

I just ordered my food from this restaurant via Grubhub. I'm choosing to leave a review here because I'm not able to leave a review on Grubhub. I've ordered from this place a couple times for breakfast and have been generally satisfied when they actually get the order right. Today just proved that this place is probably not the place that I should be ordering from even if it's only 2 blocks from my house. I ordered food and I received the wrong order. I immediately called because it was something I couldn't eat (pork). I explained to the guy that answered the phone that I received the wrong order and could they please send the right order. He asked me what I ordered and and what I got instead. He then went on to say that I was calling because the food wasn't good. I'm not sure where that came from but I informed him that I was calling simply because I received the wrong order. He placed me on hold and never came back. I hung up and called back at which point, he unformed me that he was trying to contact the delivery guy so he doesn't mess up anymore orders. I asked him at what point was he going to come back on the line and let me know that. He then took my order again and said, when the guy comes back, he'll send me the correct order. This took over an hour and 4 phone calls. This was a huge disappointment and has sealed my opinion about this place. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on me. Horrible...I would avoid at all costs! read more

We had chicken noodle soup, Philly cheese steak, and a roll with egg whites and bacon. I was expecting less food for the price and was very pleased with the portion sizes. The food was delicious as well! read more

I love this place . The food is good and inexpensive and the service is quick . This is the way a local restaurant or diner should be and other places can learn from them . I hope they are around for many years . A good varied menu read more

Prompt, and courteous service, great food, awesome prices! I order take-out here often, and I always just crave that blackened chicken panini and the blackened tilapia for lunch or dinner. For breakfast, you can never go wrong with blueberry pancakes with bacon on the side to just hit that right spot of sweet and savory. This is what makes this place great--AWESOME basics: fries are delicious, bacon is always cooked to perfection and does not taste greasy, veggies are fresh and never soggy. A must! read more

Terrible restaurant I will never order here again smh!!! The audacity and nerve to send a delivery guy who does not speak English and he had no change smh! This is not the first time this occurred when I called for a delivery enough is enough I suggest nobody order from place for deliveries. read more

Ordered from this place today and had it delivered by GrubHub. It was delicious! :) Great burgers, fries and appetizers. We'll definitely keep this place in mind when we have a busy day and need take out. read more
