It doesn't matter if you're in your own city, eating and drinking by the water always feels like…read morevacation. This place feels like vacation. We only end up in this part of the world when we head to the beach, and after a long day in the sunshine and jumping in the waves, it's hard to beat Bungalow Bar. The kids can take a photo in the giant lifeguard chair. The adults can have a spritz or three. And everyone can dine on burgers, and fries, and baked clams, and fried fish sandwiches that are comically too large for their tiny buns. It isn't the finest seafood in the city (our mussels weren't great), you shouldn't stray too far off their staples (the ribs were fine), but they know their way around a fryer. And you're not really there for the food, but the vibes. The service is a little hit or miss too, but I truly appreciate that when they messed up, they bought us a round. We all need to be able to admit when we're wrong, and apologize the right way. With alcohol.

What I really appreciate is that my food is made exactly how I ask, and I can literally watch them make it--nothing blocking my view. It's reassuring to see my meal prepared with care. The kung pao chicken and dumplings are always full of flavor and cooked perfectly, making each meal consistent and satisfying. Even during busy hours, the staff stay friendly and attentive, showing that they truly care about every customer. Isn't it great when a restaurant makes you feel valued and still delivers amazing food? Dragon King is my go-to spot for reliable, delicious Chinese food in Rockaway Park.

I traveled down to the Rockaways with my daughter to try out a place I've heard a lot about and…read morealways wanted to go . It was a little far for me but parking was easy and it was a nice night out . They have a parking lot but I usually go for the street when I can . As we approach you can hear the music see the locals having fun and it was fairly busy . TV's everywhere ! Every sport you can imagine . My daughter and I shared some apps and had a beer or two and some soft drinks . The pretzel was just ok nothing to really rave about . The chicken quesadillas was really good enjoyed that the flavor was robust . The nachos my daughter mostly ate that's what she wanted most . She said they were good maybe just a little heavy on the cheese ? The service was good she was very nice and checked on us a few times . Noise level is high so not a place for conversation but that's ok it's a sports bar pub type so it was expected. The prices were fair and overall it's a good joint . I imagine a hot summers night and kicking back with some cold beer and some nachos or wings . Good location could be a bit sketchy but the clientele here is def all rockaway and I mean all rockaway ! I would give it another try in a setting as I mentioned a Hot summers night !

Batesys is a barbecue restaurant in Rockaway Beach, just a few blocks from the beach. I stopped in…read morewith a few friends after a beach day on a weekend, and it was a great spot to grab some food and drinks. We started with the Henny Colada, which is an excellent spin on a piña colada. We got the regular size ($13 each plus tip and tax), but you can also get a 25 oz. version packaged in a can to take to the beach, which is a fun option. For food, we ordered a few sides to share: the cornbread, coleslaw, and potato salad, along with a pound of brisket ($32) and a brisket sandwich. The brisket was very good, flavorful and tender, and the barbecue sauce was also very good. The sides were well-priced, enjoyable, and easy to share, and they complemented the brisket nicely. We sat outside, and the service was quick and friendly. If you are in Rockaway, Batesys is definitely worth a stop, especially after a day at the beach. Very much recommend!

There wasn't that many options for what we were looking for so we ended up here. We wanted seafood specifically, but when we asked they did not have what we wanted available even though google maps told us they would. Sad. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the brisket and shrimp skewer. The bathroom always has a line. People come in regardless if they're customers or not to use the restroom. The whole time I was inside (45-ish minutes) at the restaurant there was a line. I gave up and just ended up using baby wipes on my face instead of washing it.

The calamari tasted like it was not seasoned and the meat was a little more tender than I'm used to. The sauce it came helped with the flavor but you definitely need a good amount of it. The mangosteen salad was OK ... think I would have preferred the papaya salad. The pla lui suan (branzino) was quite good and I liked it very much - size was enough to share since we already ordered apps. Service was fine and wait staff gave us plenty of space to leisurely enjoy our meal.

The service was definitely great everyone always walked by and asked if we are good or not. The drinks were great as well. Then came the curry puffs barely tasted like curry and dough although not bad but a bit undercooked. Then came the grilled calamari. ZERO flavor!! But the sauce wasn't bad so we had to ask for extra portion to drench it. And the whole thing was a really nice big portion BUT fully hard to chew, undercooked, the thin lining was still around some pieces and pulling as you tried to chew through , and the whole thing was just hard to chew and eat. Maybe 6 rings were ok to chew and were cooked through but zero excuse. We still want to come back and give it another chance but I really hated that we wasted a meal trying so under satisfying. Let's see.‍

On 7/1/ 26, I ordered 4 slices, one with Spinach. Please, Google Spinach Pizza to see what it looks…read morelike cause mine arrived with a just a bunch of what looked like a frozen quality, tasteless spinach stacked up on top of the Pizza! Just sitting on top, no cheese melted on at all! Not like anything I've ever seen in my life! I called, and the owner, who was sarcastic, condescending, mean and preceded to tell me that his Pizza is made like how HE likes it, NOT made with whole leaf spinach that's melted into the cheese! I hung on him, as his entire attitude was terrible for a business person and he was of no help! He actually texted me to tell me that i'm BANNED from getting delivery . I will no longer set foot in that place! The food quality has gotten poor over the years anyway, while prices are high. I paid $30.00 for FOUR slices of pizza that was very thin with very, very little cheese! I scraped off the PILE of spinach, added my own cheese and broiled, it was s little better. Never, ever again! Very nasty person and the food is no longer as good as it use to be.
