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!!!!

Kween was awesome! The food was good although i only ate half because the entertainment was just too great that I forgot to eat! We came for brunch and it was such a great time. Great performances and fun environment. Brunch was a success and they were always on it to refill us every time. It was pricey but I would go back as it was worth the fun we had there. Don't buy shots. They're like $15 each and not worth it. Just get litty through the bottomless. read more

The best combination of service, food, and drag is at Kween Astoria! The service is quick, the food is truly good, and the drag queens are entertaining AF! The first drag star IG@Hassanintheworld performed a rendition of URSULA from the Little Mermaid and stole my heart. I laughed and ate my stress away with sweet n' savory chilaquiles and kween guac. Then IG@Hassanintheworld performed a song by SELENA!! Hassan didn't need to steal Ariel's voice to sing his version of Bidi Bidi Bum Bum. Selena united the whole restaurant and Hassan led the way with his gorgeous voice! Last but not least, BIG SHOUT OUT to the owner Pedro and his amazing staff!! Pedro established a safe space for laughter, community, and entertainment. I will come again with drag show virgins! read more

Had a great time here on Sunday. We arrived early. It was a birthday celebration for a friend. I have never been here before. I don't think I was ever in Astoria before. The performers were so much fun. I have been to other drag brunches where we left the restaurant during half time. I wish this went on longer. That may be a universal wish. But moving forward. Would go back again without hesitation. So much laughter and fun with my whole party. Hopefully a redo real soon. read more

I thought the place was nice. My boyfriend and I came on a Friday night when it wasn't too busy which was good. I think the guy that was mixing our drinks was new so he was still figuring out how to mix drinks, which was fine. Everyone needs to start somewhere. It wasn't too busy and we were able to find seats easily. Usually we would be in hell's kitchen but this was nice going to in queens read more

I had booked for a party of 3 for the Sunday Drag brunch at 1pm. Upon arrival the staff greeted us and showed us to our table. They explain that the show usually starts at 1:15pm and that prior to that they try to get all the food orders out to avoid disrupting the drag performers. It's a pretty small venue but every space is well used so the tables are quite close together. We each ordered a meal from the brunch menu and some cocktails. We had the chicken and waffles, the kween benny (a highlight with the candied bacon) , and the avo toast. As well as the Crown Jewel, Shantelle, and Strumpet. Fair play to the bar staff and whoever designed the cocktails because they were all so good and too easy to drink! Now on to the drag show! The show was hosted by Freeda Kulo who is stunning and absolutely hilarious, and Privilege who was equally as stunning and an amazing singer performed. It felt like the time flew by and I would go to another brunch at Kween in a heartbeat! 10/10 could not recommend enough! read more

Been waiting to check this place out to let them get settled in the neighborhood. Went in last night for Halloween for the first time. Staff was very nice. We had a good time but there are lots of issues IMO. The bar takes up way too much space. It's quite literally 75 percent of the floor space. For no reason. I don't understand. The bar could be half the size and function fine. I've been in the business for 20 years. Terrible design. Ordered the Kween burger. Way too big and the meat (when eaten alone) was tasteless. and barely had flavor even with all the fixings. Literally just tasted like ground beef. No seasoning. Very boring. Not to mention the place was very slow and it still took at least 30 minutes to get my food. Also, it's a 21 dollar bland burger. Not anywhere near worth it. Want bacon and avocado? Then it's nearly 30 bucks?!?!? That's just silly. The first drinks we ordered were margaritas. The bartender was so proud that they made them from scratch. Not sure why! Literally the worst margarita I've ever had by far! And I've had lots! None of us could quite figure out what they tasted like but they definitely didn't taste like a margarita. There was almost something chocolatey about them. Idk. They were bad. Thank goodness for draft beer and Don Julio. Regardless of all that, it's a fun space with really nice staff and a very sweet owner. Still had a really nice time hanging out. Love having a queer bar that serves food close by! I'll definitely go back and try other things that will hopefully be better than the burger. The tacos looked delicious! All in all, it's a nice addition the the area. Look forward to going back. A few tweaks could really make it amazing! read more

The hostess was sweet and friendly. the FOOD WAS BOMB.COM. I was honestly shooketh at how well seasoned everything was. From the calamari to the steak. Shoutout to the chef!! The show was fun and lively. The mimosas were kicking and it was such a friendly and welcome environment. The decor and the music was very POC which we need more of! Shoutout to the owners.

I was here for a bachlorette brunch... and wow! We were a party of 18 , and the room was set up perfectly to accommodate us. The food was very good and there was a lot of options on the price fixe menu. The staff was very attentive and made sure any late guests still got their drinks and meals ordered. But the Drag Show....phenomenal! I've been to other drag shows, but their host, Freda Kulo, was hilarious and made everyone feel part of the show. I cannot say enough good things and I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

I came and excited to have a really nice experience. As someone who's queer myself I was really…read moreexcited to finally check out this bar. I go in and the bar is packed, which is a great sign. However, ordering a drink, of course in a packed bar is really hard. I had my jacket over a chair and someone was sitting on it and I didn't make a big deal out of it. So I sat on the chair next to mine. Again, just trying to order a drink. The person who had their stuff on the chair comes back and instead of it being between me and this person it turns into two more people jumping in on me upset that I'm sitting on someone else's chair. The bartender then gets in on it, and he starts being rude and yelling at everybody, but more so me because he was friends with the other people. Then me and the guy are laughing and making up and talking. And he comes back and yells at us again. This time for no reason. Screaming out of the top of his lungs. Needless to say I never got to replace my drinks. And I never got to see if it was a good bar because I was being yelled at by the bartender and other people. Was in there for maybe 15-20 mins. Really awful experience and it was the bartender with short black hair. Hopefully he learns to actually be kinder. Definitely didn't feel like a safe space

I hosted my birthday here and the managing staff are very communicative and provide different, well priced packages based on the type of event you want. Everything went really smoothly during the event and the staff were very accommodating.

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 Thick Cut Bacon (8.5/10) was sweet, crunchy, and cooked perfectly. The Wagyu Cheeseburger (7.5/10) tasted good, but the bun was too dry, dense, and oversized for the burger. 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). The highlight was the complimentary sorbet they brought out for my friend's birthday. The vibes were classic Hogsalt with dim lighting, old-school jazz, and a cozy atmosphere (7/10).

We stopped by for drinks and a few appetizers with my parents, my husband, and our daughter, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of their trip. My parents absolutely loved it! The food was delicious, the drinks were excellent, and the live music created such a warm, lively atmosphere that made us want to stay longer. It's one of those places where you can truly relax, enjoy great conversation, and soak in a bit of New York's history at the same time. Whether you're visiting NYC or you're a local looking for a unique spot, Fraunces Tavern is definitely worth adding to your list. My parents are already asking to come back--and honestly, so are we!

He had the Fraunces tavern option on tap and I had a Narragansett summer one. The bartender seemed fine and nice. Ambiance here is as it is an old tavern it sure has that feeling to it. There are many rooms and dinning options within this tavern. I have only sat at the bar area the times that I have been here.

I got the chicken sandwich and my friend got the green shakshuka, and both were so fresh and delicious. We both decided we need to come back next time I'm back in the city!

Just give me a pita! What is that about? But okay, I ordered an extra pita, I'm still hopeful. But out of the 5 pieces of lamb in my kebab, two were *grisly*! They don't give you a sharp knife, so you kind of have to bite off pieces; but when a piece is grisly you can't tear off a piece and end up with a full piece in your mouth, chewing for many minutes around the grisly center. Everyone knows what this is like and it's to be expected in life, but NOT at a high-end restaurant where you've paid a significant margin above the average meal, and don't even get a full pita. Guys, do some QC and soul-searching - and be generous with pita.

The dim sum sampler was also a nice way to try a little of everything. For drinks, The Pavilion was light and refreshing, while the Diamond Dragon came in a diamond-shaped glass with dry ice, making it both fun to drink and great for photos. The restaurant was busy even on a weekday evening, with a big screen showing a soccer match that added to the atmosphere. Great food, great vibes, and a perfect stop after exploring Hudson Yards. I'd definitely come back.
