    Amazing Cheeseburger!!!
    George M.

    First some background, on the legacy of Astoria's Neptune Diner one of the greatest diners in the in the history of diners: Neptune Diner wowed dinners for several decades before some of the owners great tired of running a 24 hour business while the other still had more life in them. Sealing its fate was the fact that it was operating atop of ever growing more valuable real estate. This came to a head a couple of years ago and the decision to sell was sealed. Fast forward, the owners that still wanted to continue the legacy took over Jackson Hole Diner in Bell Blvd. And I've been meaning to try it ever since. Today was that day. My guests ordered the usual diner breakfast fare. There orders were very good. I knew that the proof of whether the spirit of the original survived would be in the burger and aroma in steak, respectively. The section on what to order came down to economics: burger 12 bucks and Romanian steak $44 (yes $44 ($10 short of a NY strip steak) I'll be back for the Romanian). What was the verdict you ask? I enjoyed one of the best burgers I've ever had. The wait staff was also spectacular. King Neptune Diner Astoria is dead, long live King Neptune Diner Bayside.

    The special chicken pot pie.
    Joan M.

    The 31 dollar special of the chicken pot pie was not so special because while yes it came with chicken noodle Matza ball soup and a salad, it was not very special. I would not have ordered the soup if I knew it came with noodles-that was a surprise. No one told the three us about the specials, brought us bread, cole slaw or a pickle for my sister's sandwhich. That is typical for other diners and for 31 bucks the others give a choice of free dessert. They did not even offer that or post dinner coffee. Odd. Going elsewhere .

    My late partner, and I ate here a few times, and it has always been good, but I've never written a review. I stopped in for dinner tonight, and it was as good as it has always been. This is nothing more than a good old-fashioned Greek diner. Great people, big menu, and great food. I decided to order from the specials menu tonight. I started with a cup of the the avgolemono, the Greek lemon chicken soup. It was so good! The chicken was tender and delicious,, it had orzo in it, and the orzo was also tender, and the lemon provided a nice " Tang" to the soup. A total home run. For my main course, I had the lemon chicken. Again, a total home run. The chicken was so tender, it was literally fall off the bone. You could taste the lemon, it was spiced well, just a fantastic Dish. The potatoes that it came with were fork tender. Again, totally delicious. I had enough left over to take back to my hotel with me. Prices are a tiny bit on the higher end, but considering the high-quality and quantity of the food? Worth every penny. I will be back. Thank you.

    Dined food is comfort food! I wasn't sure what I was craving so I decided to go for a variety of foods and each one of them was delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a lot of seating and luckily my friend and I got a booth which is what we were looking for.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered the Fried calamari which was hugeeeee. We had to stop ourselves from eating too much before the entrees arrived so that we would be able to enjoy our other dishes as well. The calamari was perfectly crispy and the marinara sauce paired great with it. We got spaghetti with Parmesan cheese on top. It is your basic spaghetti which was what I was craving so that was great. Then we also got the banana and Nutella pancakes which were also huge and delicious. The whipped salted butter was the star of the show because everything was on the sweeter side so the butter really added a nice hint of saltiness. The servers were super sweet. They checked up on us multiple times and even offered to give more cheese for the spaghetti. When packing the food the go because we had a lot of leftovers, we asked for a container for the marinara sauce too which they sweetly topped off for us. Not only did the food taste of comfort but the staff made us feel super comfortable as well!

    Greeted immediately after a long walk in extreme heat, then seated in a comfortable booth. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The air conditioning was perfect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The coffee was delicious. The food was fresh and plentiful. The service was excellent. No one rushed us. Everyone smiled. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The diner seems kind of old, but also seems to be regularly scrubbed and polished.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A very comfortable place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had a very nice time.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dinner here on Friday evening was delicious, but gets super crowded during the evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was delicious and plentiful. The hot chocolate was delicious. The waiter was very friendly, attentive and prompt. Great dinner in Bayside to experience.

    Bacon cheeseburger
    Dawn R.

    I'll start off by saying that valet parking for a diner is a bit ridiculous but on to the food. The burger was a bit massive and well cooked it could have been seasoned a bit more for $16.50. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The diner itself had a great atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    First time at the Neptune Diner.it was an overall great experience. Firstly, our waitress Ashley was friendly, engaging, and most importantly made us feel at home. I decided to go with the Crown Heights burger deluxe. It was cooked to perfection.as well as all of our food. The decor was typical diner decor but there was a great Victoria the place. Definitely, I will be back.

    As always, I'm bias to the OG Neptune in Astoria, but my grandma lives close by & this is our favorite breakfast spot! They have a parking lot that's pretty convenient, but street parking isn't too hard to find if it's full! There's plenty of space inside & the menu is extensive & basically has anything you want! The food is always tasty, service is friendly & quick! Prices are reasonable! Someone once told me that if the coffee is good at a diner, chances are the food is good too! (Point being said - you can't go wrong with Neptune)

    I went here for brunch with my girlfriends and we had such a great time!…read more The food was delicious - from the apps to entrees, and the service was great. Our server kept checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. The calamari and shrimp ceviche were both delicious - the calamari was well battered and the ceviche was fresh. My entree, chicken baraki, was a large portion (had to take it home) and it was delicious. The drinks looked amazing but we didn't try any this time - definitely on our next visit! The spot is somewhat busy but not super noisy, which I liked. Parking is street parking and it does get busy in this area. Overall, a great spot with cool drinks and good food!

    I went to brunch here the other day. We had a reservation and got seated immediately. The spot is…read morevery cute. There is so much decor and many things to look at. We got the bottomless mimosas. They gave us two glasses and a picture of mimosas. Everything was really good. As an appetizer we ordered the focaccia grilled cheese bites. The vodka sauce dip was so amazing. Honestly, that was hands-down, the best thing. For our main, I ordered the Mediterranean Benedict. They made the Benedict. Perfect, I love the prosciutto with it. It does come on top of a focaccia bread. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the sweet potato fry squares. I'm not crazy about sweet potatoes and I didn't read the menu to see to get something else. Also, the Greek churro was so good with the feta whip. This is definitely a really cute place. Everyone who works there is so kind and polite. It is definitely worth a stop in for brunch.

    Thanks to Yelp, I recently discovered Golden K Burgers, who just celebrated their 2 year…read moreAnniversary! I have probably walked right by many times, never noticing this place. Well, after trying their burger, they have my complete attention! They have such an interesting list of burgers! See my photos for their vast menu choices! Narrowing down which one to choose was tough but I ended up ordering the Big Kahuna Burger w.Sweet Potato Fries....Holy Moly, that was a MASSIVE burger! I didn't recall ordering a double but that's what I got. lol This burger was really delicious but I could barely eat half of it. I would definitely order this burger again but maybe just a single burger next time. The sweet potato fries were such a treat! Such a delicious and satisfying meal!! They also have quite a few unique beverage options; non-alcoholic and alcoholic!! This is definitely not just a Coke and Pepsi kinda place! I tried their Velvet Llama Espresso Martini in a can, and it was really fantastic! Looking forward to a return visit to have some of their delicious wings, onion rings, many appetizers, sea burgers, chicken burgers, veggie burgers, breakfast sandwiches....omg the list goes on and on! Their backyard dining area is great for the warmer weather. Great music. Great service & hospitality. Great vibes all around!! Btw, I must mention their pricing. At first glance, you'd think their $20 burgers is wayyyyy too expensive. BUT, when you see the massive burger you're getting, you realize that it's a Quality burger, made with Quality ingredients... and well worth the price! Splurge and treat yourself! You're worth it! ;-)

    I had the burger sliders they were serving, along with the cauliflower bites and wings…read more They were all right, and I thought everything was satisfying enough that I would come back. One thing I noticed is that the place is pretty narrow, so it's not a huge space. There are a bunch of TVs throughout the restaurant, and they also have a collection of magazines and journals you can flip through while you watch. Most of them seemed to be food-related or Korean-related.
