It was a great show with good music. The atmosphere was electric. The AC appeared to be broken which was unfortunate given the current heatwave. I was even more impressed with the performers performing in such humidity and heat. Though the performance was great, the quality of the food was unforgivably bad. I ordered the chicken and waffle. The fried chicken was good but I definitely had the worst waffle of my life. Even eggo waffles are a million times better. The waffle was flat without shape, bitter and burnt. I am still shocked that a restaurant thought they could serve waffles like that ever. The three of us ordered the same plate and none of us took more than a tiny bite. I would recommend coming for the show but please skip the waffle dish at all cost.

Wonderful Drag brunch. Food was good.The show is wonderful. I went for my birthday with my family and had a great time. Highly recommend.

This place is a REALLY good time! The Kweens are so entertaining. They're funny, and great dancers. On my visit they actually entertained the full two hours we were there. They go hard and even bring the entertainment onto the sidewalk. Excellent work there! The venue itself is fairly narrow. We had a group of 20+ people and basically took up two thirds of the restaurant. It's all good though there was still a bit of space in terms of tables and the bar for walkins. Looking around at the walls, nooks and crannies, they did a good job of accessorizing the design elements. The Kween Throne by the bathrooms was a big hit! Meanwhile, I see some of the reviewers didn't like the food. I saw no issue with it. Actually, I thought the empanadas were great! I had the burger but I made the tactical error of eating too many chips with the guac appetizer. So I bagged half of the burger to go. Bottomless Brunch is always the go and I had an entire pitcher of bellini for myself since the rest of my section went with mimosas (tactical initiative regained). At this point, you're probably wondering where I pulled the stars from. Here's the deal: We were celebrating two (2) "birthday girls." One of them was in my section, at my table. No orders or drinks (including water) arrived at our table for 40+ minutes. The service timing varied very widely from table to table, within our 20 person section. Whether it was a large group or multiple small groups, the service needed to be more smooth and based off of who was seated first, etc. When you're hangry, 40 mins. is an eternity. In addition, our reservation was scheduled months in advance. They should've been ready with a strategy to cover the service for our section. Still, you should go if ever you get the chance! Consider keeping a snickers bar in your pocket if you have a similar delay in your initial food order.

Did drag brunch and it was SO fun! It's a bottomless brunch so expect less from the food and drink but it's exactly what Astoria needs - an extra dash of gay. The performances were 5/5 I couldn't believe how good it was. The wait staff was friendly and attentive despite us sitting in the back away from the action. Really looking forward to coming back here soon! Wishing Kween all the success and appreciate that they're supporting the gay culture in the Astoria. If you sit in the back there's a TV to help you see what's going on in the front in case you're missing it but the performers (10/10 job Freeda Kulo!!!) made sure they made their rounds through the bar and spread the love. My friends who came with me said they didn't expect to be so entertained and really enjoyed it!

I so badly wanted to give a better review. The drag show was great and the queens gave 110%. I really enjoyed the experience despite the venue itself. Those queens got a big tip. They worked hard and they carry all the weight. The food was not good. I ordered the chilaquiles. It was bad. Basically nachos with no seasoning and no spice. Chilaquiles should be soggy and flavorful. Sauced! We had to ask for a sauce and after a long wait were given Cholula. It helped. But really ? Cholula? My husband ordered a chicken sandwich and he couldn't even eat the bun because of the heavy mayo application. He always eats the buns [sic]. The mimosas were off. Cheep champ with cheaper OJ. If you order bottomless, you stop caring after 3 glasses. Service was cute but slow. We got an initial flirtation and some attention but were then left on our own (and had to try our luck with the queens). The food and service alone would be a 1 or 1.5. Drag show boost this greatly. Thanks queens. Cooks: use salt.

This place was smaller that I thought, however, it was clean, it was colorful & fun! Went there for a birthday brunch and I was not disappointed!! The entertainment was super fun and enjoyed myself, the food came pretty quickly considering we were a party of 12!! Our waiters were super nice and friendly. This is LGBTQ+ friendly , so everyone welcomed! The appetizers were tasty specially the guacamole, the arepas were not my favorite but I think that's just a matter of preference. My main dish was delish! I had the egg benedict and it was perfect! The steak was also super tasty ,the prices were reasonable and overall it was a great place. Finding parking was a bit hectic so that's the only downside. Will deff be coming back!

I took my friend here for her first drag show and I was highly impressed, the bar is a little small but the Drag Queens make it WORKKKKK! Our servers were beyond amazing and attentive during the brunch and the food was amazing aswell I can't wait to bring more people to this spot!

Came here the Thursday before Manhattans pride and was super excited. There was a 2 for one special. I was beyond happy they had this cool instagram ready photo shoot area. I'm loving that the owner prides his baby dog in tons of photos. I also found out they have drag brunches I need to check that out. The service was absolutely amazing and a judgement free zone. I love these types of bars. The music was like throwback I think because it was a Thursday. I was having tons of fun. I'm definitely coming back here for brunch one night. Love my LGBTTQIA+ community you rock. Also their calamari was on point! Yassss Queen!

Keia C.

Had a great time at drag brunch, the staff was accommodating and so attentive. Food was great the only thing I didn't like was the calamari the texture was a little off. Everything else was delicious . Would def return for the show the general ambiance was high energy everyone came to have a good time. The place is a bit small but comfy.

I went for brunch with a few friends on a Saturday at 3pm. My friend who coordinated the brunch told us to bring singles, and I wasn't sure why, but it was for a drag show. It definitely was unlike any other brunches in the past and was a lot of fun (mature audiences). Moreover, I had the chicken and waffles, I forgot to take a picture of it, but it was good. It came with sweet butter and syrup which was too sweet for me but my friends said they liked it. We also shared the salad which was good but not too filling. I'll definitely visit again and highly recommend for a fun time

Went to see the 3:30 show on Sunday 4/28. THOSE QUEENS WERK HARD! Great food! Great show! Fun had by ALL! Many happy wishes for a long, lucrative life in ASTORIA!

This is by far my favorite drag brunch from start to finish. From the beautiful interior to the little touches. This is a pink paradise! I have never felt more welcome or a part of the family when going to a restaurant.The business deserves all of its flowers! The owners were in attendance and are some of the most gracious people. Without spoiling the show there were flips, splits, and tricks galore. The food was exceptional. Latin flavor and a new take on a tres leches cake!!! Delicioso!!! Frieda and Bianca were the hostesses with the mostess! Don't forget the chair in the back KWEENS!!!!

Went for drag brunch with friends on my birthday. Huge shoutout to Freedakulo! Love her! She was the epitome of charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent and I hope she makes it to Rupaul's drag race one day!!! She was performing on her birthday! The food was good and fairly priced, they gave me a free birthday shot. Brunch minimum is $30 for drag brunch, which is the most reasonable considering I called around other gay bars for drag brunch info and found other places had a $50 minimum. If you come for drag brunch don't forget to bring cash!!!!! They were kind enough to offer change at the beginning of the show. Really considerate! Overall honestly the best drag show I have seen. You get 3 queens, not just 1 , and an unforgettable experience. Happy pride! read more

Came here for after dinner drinks. Was a nice spot. We came on the early side, so there was fun music but nothing too loud and you could still get a drink and talk to friends. Played a fun variety of music. Didn't stay too late, so unsure how it gets on the later hours - but was a fun time and would recommend if you're around the area. Seems like a fun, local place to catch up with friends. read more

I've been here a few times now for brunch and late night during the weekends. I enjoy the experience every time. Brunch is a lot of fun. The drag queen is very fun and engaging. Most of the food was really good. I think $35 dollars for steak and eggs along with a mimosa is a nice deal. Their housemade bloody mary was really good and included a piece of bacon! We really enjoyed the steak and eggs and the crab and shrimp guacamole. The burger and the chillaquilles were impressive looking, but the bun on the burger was not very fluffy for a brioche bun and the chillaquilles was oddly sweet. On a Friday night, there was a DJ playing music and the vibe was clubby. I believe it is a relatively new bar so it wasn't very busy. I enjoyed the pop music and they still served the dinner menu. The calamari was cooked perfectly and the nachos with steak were really good. We tried the burger again, but the brioche bun hadn't changed. read more

Two weekends back to back I felt like Royalty @ Kween. My first introduction to the Royal court was on a Saturday. A party of six, we decided to stop in for few cocktails after a less then memorable brunch at an overpriced and unseasoned place in the city. We had such an enjoyable moment, we decided to return the following Sunday for a proper brunch seasoned with the right amount of Drag. Sunday's Drag Brunch is offered @ 1pm & 3pm. We decided on 3pm for our slightly smaller party of 4. Drinks were nice & stiff, food was tasty and the show was spicy! We had such an enjoyable time it more then made up for the previous weekend. The entertainers definitely entertained and the staff was efficient and gracious. Since we were celebrating the approaching nuptials of a very good friend. The staff allowed me to bring sweet treats that they enjoyed with us. Just A Note: Don't miss the Royal seat in the back, great photo moment. read more

I visited here with my friends for the drag brunch! I'm so happy there is another safe space for queer folx in Astoria. And the drag show was sooooo much fun, and I enjoyed every second of it. For the brunch, I had the kween burger. Burger is something that I rarely order in restaurants, but I decided to give it a try. This burger was thic af. The meat was good, and the little sweetness from the bacon tomato jam was top notch. I replaced the fries with sweet potato ones, and they don't upcharge you for it. I legit would come back just for the burger. read more

COME AND SUPPORT THE QUEEEENS! The drag queens put on such an amazing show and the energy in the space was electric. However, save yourself from the food. I took two bites out of the chilaquiles for brunch and they just weren't it. $18 for flavorless food is just a let down. We also waited 30 minutes at our table without water or menus. I had to go to the bartender to ask if we order food there or at our table. He proceeded to ask: "oh y'all want food and drinks?" ...like we came for drag brunch I thought that was a given. Most importantly, come and support the drag queens! Maybe grab a bite before hand or after the show but tip these amazing performers read more

Kween is such a fun and beautiful environment. They create such a safe space for everyone to be themselves and to let loose. The owner is gracious to all and makes sure to applaud the waitstaff, bartenders, kitchen staff, etc. There is also a family tree on the wall that shows all the workers. I've never seen anything like that before. Drag brunch is always a blast especially when Cissy is there! Food is really good too! read more

They are the sort of spots one would find exciting in 2010 NYC, or perhaps 2025 Asheville. There's certainly a scene, but the green neon sign that reads "We Be the Infamous," and their commitment to their speakeasy hidden behind another business bit makes me immediately want to run the other way. But I ordered a couple of drinks for the full experience. I got a cocktail with mezcal and pineapple syrup and an espresso martini because no other drinks really called to me. One great thing about Queens bars is that places are still inexpensive, so I'm not mad at only spending $17 on these drinks, but the creativity isn't matching the likes of Dutch Kills or 56709 up the avenue. It's totally serviceable and it seems others have a great time here, but I found the experience wholly forgettable.

However, the staff was talking really loudly in the bar area (almost screaming) and the quality of the speakers wasn't that great. Yes, city pop was playing but it didn't feel like the center of the bar. If this was a cheap neighborhood bar, I could let it slide. However, it was 28 dollars for one drink.

The biggest question then became, where to go? We needed a place that was relatively easy to get to that would hold close to 100 people. Jungly was a contender for several reasons - it's location, size, vibe, and menu all seemed to check off. It also helped that I had done business with the owner previously at one of his other spots. It seemed like the natural choice, so I went ahead with the booking. Jungly is located in LIC - it's a pretty convenient spot as its close to the LIRR and the subway. Parking can be a challenge, but luckily I found a spot only a block away. The space itself is nicely set up - walking in you're immediately greeted by the bar area with dining areas both to the left and the right. Due to our size, they closed the place to the public and we were able to freely roam the bar area and one of the dining rooms. In addition to standard tables, they have some lounge space and high tops by the bar. The vibe is somewhat modern - a black/grey color scheme paired with neon and golds. It looks like the space could easily be converted to a club-like atmosphere. Since we were here for a private event, the food was set up buffet style - we chose three apps, four mains, and two sides. Ultimately, for apps we chose pita bread with dips, steak tacos, and shrimp tacos. For mains we chose fried chicken sliders, smashed beef sliders, cacio e pepe, and roasted chicken. For sides, we got fries and Brussels sprouts. In general, all of the food was tasty; the strongest dishes were the tacos, fries, and the chicken tacos. The tacos were generously filled, the fries were the crispy skin style, and the chicken sliders were nice and crispy. The weakest for me was the cacio e pepe - not much flavor and just not really a standout IMO. My communication with management to set up the event were a little staccato, though in the end everything worked out. For the most part, my communication with them was consistent in the days leading up to the event. Service the night of the event was overall good - they were very accessible but I found that they could have replenished the food a little faster in response to the rate it was being taken from the buffet. The bar, on the other hand, was great - both in service and variety of liquor available. Overall, we had a great event at Jungly. They were professional, fair, and delivered on the goods. I would definitely consider hosting another event there, or dine here on my own.

The bartender, the one person who should be welcoming and engaging, came across as rude and lacked any charisma. On a Friday night, good energy behind the bar makes a huge difference, and that was completely missing. I ordered a margarita, which is one of the simplest and most common cocktails to make. I asked for it really sweet with plenty of salt on the rim. Instead, it came out barely sweet and with almost no salt. For a $17 margarita, I expected much better. I've had to return the drink because I've had better margaritas for $12 at other places. While waiting for my friend, I had to wait with a glass of water because I didn't trust the way they made the drink. The bartender told me I either needed to order another drink or move, which felt unnecessarily rude and unwelcoming. To be fair, the food was good and the space itself is nice. However, the bar service left a very poor impression. There are plenty of more affordable places where the staff are friendly and make guests feel welcome. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend this place. Give this place a 6.5

It featured a crispy, sugar-glazed exterior and a soft, chewy interior, topped with truffle cheese and served with a truffle butter dip; the pairing was superb, and it tasted great both on its own and with the dip. For the main course, I ordered the miso-glazed black cod. The flavor was flawless, and while the portion was small (which was acceptable), the pool of broth accompanying it was completely unnecessary; it was inedibly salty, so what was the point of serving it? After finishing the fish, I was left with a plate full of broth, rendering the plate unusable. Plus, it was overpriced; for this dish, you're better off going to Strip House Strip House remains the undisputed king of this dish in New York. A friend ordered the chicken parmesan. It was just average. Another friend ordered the short rib stroganoff. The flavor was decent, but it was far too rich and heavy. As someone whose palate is split 50/50 between Western and Chinese cuisine, I could manage only five bites at most. If you have a palate that prefers 100% Chinese food, proceed with caution on this dish. Friends ordered sides of mac & cheese and mashed potatoes. These are dishes originally meant for low-income Americans to fill up on cheaply; there's no limit to how good they can be, but also no floor to how bad they can get. Both were on par with the average quality found in upscale restaurants. Honestly, these are two dishes I would never order myself. To sum up: the atmosphere was great. It's also hard to get a reservation; the place was packed when we had lunch at 2 PM. Aside from that monkey bread, I didn't feel like anything else justified the price or offered something you couldn't find elsewhere. I don't quite get the hype. Perhaps I just didn't order the right dishes; maybe next time I'll try the burger and the steak.

The King Crab Rangoon (8/10) was packed with crab, almost too much for my taste, but the sweet chili and hot mustard sauces balanced it out nicely. The Espresso Martini (6/10) was a pretty standard espresso martini. The Long Island Cold Brew (3/10) tasted like cold brew mixed with vodka, which just wasn't for me. Service was fine overall (7/10).
