The service didn't help either. The waitstaff was unfriendly and seemed completely checked out. Tables were dirty, as well as condiments, definitely a rundown diner. And somehow the bill came to  $75 before tip for a burger, panini, wrap, and an ice cream float. Completely overpriced for the quality we got. Definitely not a place I'd return to or recommend.

Passing through Bayside NY on 11/1, me and my plus one stopped in for a hearty breakfast. I parked…read moreon the street because we were going elsewhere. I found out that they have a parking lot with valet parking. I don't know if the valet parking is mandatory or you can park your own car. We received exceptional service today. The greeting was warm, our waiter was patient and friendly and Fernando, (the person that brings you water, tea, or coffee when you are seated), was exceptional. He created a relaxing environment all around. He was the first to meet us at the table and the last. Fernando is a peoples person and an asset to this diner. He's an influencer, when I come back, it will be because of the interaction with Fernando! I had the heart healthy wrap with I found to be flavorless. Not enjoyable at all but I'm not a connoisseur of eating heart healthy omelettes or wraps. I also had the homefries which was supposed to have onions. I didn't see any nor did I taste any but it was delicious. It was crispy and very delicious. I also had the turkey sausage. Now I am a connoisseur of turkey sausages. These sausage were very fresh and I have yet to taste any turkey sausages like these. Hands down uncomfortable. So I can add this diner to collection of preferred diners.

If it's your first time here, what catches you is the decor and the coziness the cafe brings. A few…read morefriends stopped going here because of how busy it was during the weeknights. At this point, this cafe is better off for casual gatherings and not for study sessions. I think it's only one of the few cafes that are open past 10 PM. I've been to many different cafes in NY and visited cafe bench a few times in the past few years with large groups. I saw a recent view and was surprised to have read about the lack of disrespect a Hispanic man gave. I saw him a few times and I never saw something similar to that extent. There may be a lack of awareness on his end for bowing down and if that truly happened, I'd be pissed too and that's so uncalled for. I've been to other cafes with a similar policy but yeah, this cafe is pretty well known for having strict no-remake, no-modification policies. I've seen other customers caught off guard by it too. From what my friends and I observed, the staff doesn't make those calls and they're busy with orders like any other cafe. I'm just writing this to to share a different perspective as someone who's been there many times as I came by last weekend to give it another shot. I got the Jasmine Bear which was less sweet than before and took a sip of my friend's Berry Mucho Smoothie which was a 9/10. I wish i got that because the Jasmine Bear isn't as sweet. I usually get the Lemon C crepe and decided to try out the pomodoro instead. Although the portions are not as much as I thought it would be, the seasoned chicken and the sweet tomato sauce went really well with the crispy flakiness of the crepe.

The "literal" embodiment of IYKYK, this classic old school neighborhood institution, the type of…read morewhich are becoming increasingly rare to the point of near extinction, is certainly on my shortlist of the best bars in the city, let alone the borough. The gorgeous, ancient building, Fillmores for close to 50 years now but home to a bar for many years prior to that, is perennially packed with a cross section of local regulars representing many eras of the neighborhoods varied history and populations, from old school working class joes in Union Jackets and hardhats to more recent immigrants from every corner of the world befitting it's location smack in the center of the worlds borough. They're all most definitely having a great time, soaking up the fantastic atmosphere and character and being served by seasoned pros with a level of old school care and camaraderie, and focus on loyalty to the regulars that is also sadly rapidly fading away (how many other places in this town still know the meaning of the words "buy back?") Where the place really sets itself apart from all the other local watering holes however charming they might be on their own right however, is the food. Its lives up to the original designation of a tavern as a place that places a priority on the cuisine, and indeed the offerings rise far far above the bar-food norm. This is the type of spot that not only serves one of the great, deeply satisfying under-the radar burgers, non nonsense but deeply meaty uniquely presented on a long hero-type roll, but also one of the best, and cheapest NY Strips in town and a killer prime rib special. Also has some of the most reliably crispy wings, even if the propriety house sauce is just a tad sweet for my tastes, and a rotating list of delicious house made soups (particularly a marvelous lobster bisque) that can be paired with said wings or most other options as part of the wonderful lunch specials. I've heard many other patrons praise the grilled chicken wrap but have never had the chance to give it a try as of yet. I'll have many more chances because I plan on continuing to visit the place often for years to come, and here's to hoping that this place remains a constant in the ever changing borough as it's miraculously been able to all these many many years.

This is the kind of place that works well as a neighborhood hangout, but I wouldn't consider it a…read moredestination restaurant. I'd seen it on Yelp for quite a while, and the food in the photos looked really promising. Unfortunately, when we pulled up and saw the location, I had a feeling it wasn't going to live up to my expectations. I was hungry enough that I decided to give it a chance anyway. If you're coming strictly for the food, I'd probably skip it. But if you're looking for a casual spot to relax with a beer and grab a bite, it does the job. Although the meal wasn't what I had hoped for, I do think the kitchen made the best of the ingredients they had. My husband ordered the steak sandwich, and I was pleasantly surprised by how tender the meat was, even though it clearly wasn't an expensive cut. I ordered the French onion soup, which lacked depth of flavor, had very few onions, and the bread was really soggy. My Caesar salad, on the other hand, was dressed and tossed perfectly, but the dressing tasted like it came straight from a bottle. If they made their own dressing, or even used a higher-quality one, it could have been an excellent salad. Our server was friendly and attentive, though she didn't seem very familiar with food terminology. I asked whether the onion rings were made fresh or frozen, and she replied, "They always taste fresh when I've had them." That pretty much answered my question, I'm guessing they were frozen. Overall, it wasn't a satisfying meal for me. Then again, I came for the food. If your goal is simply to unwind with a drink and some casual bar food, you'll probably have a much better experience than I did.

I've never been a feta cheese eater ever but George gave me a sample and I couldn't believe it was feta cheese! By the time I drove away, I had ordered 4 lunch platters, 2 frappes, a Palmer Special (homemade iced tea and lemonade combo) & George's summer special (watermelon with feta cheese minus the Greek honey). I gotta go back for the Greek honey! The frappe is the only iced coffee I want from now on, it's delicious with milk from Greece and 3 sugars. It's like nothing I've ever tasted before, I'm addicted to it now. Thank you so much George for helping me bring a taste of Greece home to my family! Thank you so much Sula for recommending George's Greek Food! Cretan Grill is located opposite from the NYPQ- Emergency Room.
