They were near our airbnb and we found them on Yelp. Thanks Yelpers, yall didn't disappoint! We ran in 30mins before closing, a table of 6, then 2 others joined us with no problem. We placed various orders. The food was good. I rate it a 4. The server we had was a little dry, rate her a 2.5. She wasnt friendly or engaging, she was very much hurry up and buy! I get it, its almost closing time, but a smile goes a long way. The 5 stars is for the owner! When I tell you he is what a small business thrives off of, he should teach many others. He sat down, he engaged, and accommodated us and my late guests. His energy is everything! 10/10 recommend when in NY!!! read more

Overall, I had a great experience. I visited for Sunday brunch and was impressed by the variety of options on the menu. The food was flavorful and well-prepared, although some dishes leaned a bit salty for my taste. I ordered the sautéed shrimp and grits. The shrimp were delicious, but I wish the dish came with a larger portion of grits. The gravy was very generous and ended up making the dish a bit soupy, so a little more grits would have helped balance the dish. Other highlights from our table included the fried shrimp and waffles, yams, and mac and cheese, all of which were excellent. Another guest in my party ordered the BBQ salmon and thoroughly enjoyed it as well. The ambiance is casual, comfortable, and inviting, making it a great spot for either a local brunch or a relaxed dinner. The service was attentive and pleasant throughout our visit. We were even greeted by the owner upon arrival, and his friendliness and hospitality immediately made us feel welcome and set a positive tone for the entire experience. Overall, this is a solid neighborhood restaurant with good food, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent customer service. I'd definitely return to try more items from the menu. read more

Celebrated my birthday here with Family and friends and turns out so did like 7 other groups! It was a fun time to be had by all. Vibing old school music and happy crowd. Food was good. I enjoy my food when I actually taste the food and not the salt so I loved it. Others complained not salty/seasoned enough but it was perfect to me. Chicken had the right amount of crunch and tenderness. The salmon was meaty (not fatty) and seasoned just right. I had the bbq salmon and it was delicioso! The Mac n cheese was a good blend of cheeses and 'cheesy' pull was excellent. Potato salad just right. The service was top notch despite the place being sold out and very busy!! Definitely will return, hopefully on a less busy day and time. Parking could be an issue but we lucked up and got a spot a block away. read more

I went for brunch today, and as always, business was booming. The place was full--people dining in, grabbing takeout, and even filling the bar. There's often a short wait, which isn't surprising given how consistently packed the dining room is. The brunch menu is stacked with crowd favorites, and the music always sets the vibe--something you can really enjoy while you eat. But the food? Phenomenal. The fried catfish was seasoned and fried to crispy perfection. The turkey wings were tender, flavorful, and cooked just right--fall-off-the-bone good. And the yams? Sweet, rich, and perfectly seasoned... honestly hard to stop eating. The macaroni was rich and satisfying, and the potato salad is always a standout for me. For dessert, I had the chocolate cake--and it was exactly how I like it: moist with real, creamy frosting that doesn't miss. The brunch sangria was also a hit. I mixed red and white, and it was smooth and refreshing. Portion sizes are generous, so you definitely leave satisfied. And Danny, the owner, really sets the tone--he's always present, checking in with guests, jumping in to help the staff, and clearly running a tight operation. Nettie's continues to be the go-to spot for soul food--consistently good, every time. read more

My daughter chose Nettie's for her post-graduation lunch because of the location and based on the food options! It was a wonderful experience! Charming hostess greeted us. And while she's confirming a table, the owner cane thru. He was welcoming and treated us like special guests. I asked a question about the decor and he shared his vision that became reality. Our meals were delicious! Catfish, greens, chicken, everything was well prepared, served hot and flavorful! We wish them continued success. The next time we visit will be because we planned it, for the food! I didn't have pics of the food cause we were too busy eating! read more

The Food Is Amazing definitely give flash backs of being in the south when you take each bite or look around. When you look around you see all the vintage pieces from the south during slavery days. It's very appealing and gives lots of flash backs. The service was nice welcoming and warm, it's always good to see the owner catching up. Always makes us want to stop by and say hey. Sitting at the bar watching the game with my girlfriend, she always enjoy herself. Catfish w Mac and cheese and collard greens 1000/10 beef bacon cheeseburger 8.5/10 banana pudding Cake 7.5/10 Most definitely coming back read more

I came here for brunch on a Saturday afternoon with my friend and I had a good experience. I live in the floral Park area, and I have been looking for good soul food close by. Little did I know there was a Soulfood restaurant close to my house right down the street from UBS arena. I ordered the barbecue chicken with mac & cheese, a side of cornbread and rice and peas. For my drink, I ordered the peach Bellini. The service was very good and the food was very good. The owner even came up to us to greet us and ask how was the service. The music choices were very good as well and the place had a nice vibe to it. The only thing is, I wish the cornbread was a little less dry and more moist but other than that, I really enjoyed my visit at Nettie's restaurant. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for some soul food near the Nassau County border! read more

The hours are limited so that can be frustrating. But the service in the ambiance are excellent. The turkey wings are perfect. Seasoned to the bone. The wings are a little on the smaller side so it wouldn't hurt getting an extra entree of the wings if you want to take some home. The macaroni and cheese and the candy yams will take you back to Grandma's house. read more

My mother-in-law and I stopped by for brunch on Sunday. The meals were delicious, and the drinks were refreshing. The energy in the space felt very familial. You can tell this is where the aunties and uncs go to grab some good food in the community that feels like home. The owner is very personable and, from what I observed, makes sure to introduce himself to everyone and connect with those he already knows. It's sweet. I'd go back. read more

Esthetically pleasing. Black owned beautiful place. Sangria was delicious We ordered a pitcher for the table and it was a decent sized pitcher for $50. Can't go wrong. The country breakfast is what I ended up getting cause something was wrong with the waffle mix unfortunately - I'll have to come back and try those another time. The eggs were just meh the biscuit was yummy. Grits with cheese very tasty. Catfish wasn't bad but the whiting was waaaaay better. Yams sweet but savory. Mac n cheese - mediocre. Shrimp were appetizing. Also, cornbread was nice and moist and buttery. Could've had another piece - but didn't want the added calories. The owner Danny introduced himself to us and was quite the conversationalist. Pleasant man. Glad to have made his acquaintance. I will revisit soon. read more

We stopped by Nettie's for Sunday brunch after church and was honestly impressed with how flavorful and well prepared everything was. This place gets soul food. We all ordered the chicken wings, mac & cheese, collard greens, and cornbread (2xs) and every item hit the mark.The wings were juicy, crispy, and seasoned to perfection. No dry bites, no greasy mess -- just golden and satisfying. The mac & cheese was creamy, cheesy, comforting. Collard greens had depth and flavor, not watery or overly salty and cooked just right. And the cornbread was warm, moist, slightly sweet and to be honest some of the best I've had in a while. Had to have seconds. The vibe was chill, with that cozy, welcoming energy you would want for a Sunday bunch. Staff was friendly. A warm hospitality the owner or staff often walk tables, chat, greet, which makes the experience more personal. Would absolutely return, this is the kind of spot that makes you feel like you're getting a home cooked meal. read more

I called first thing in the morning to make sure they had the naked cake available received a very dry answer pver the phone. Took my chances and drove 30 minutes . I was craving something sweet , but light for mothers day. The naked cake was exactly that. Nothing for me to run to, but worth it if im around. The service was a little slow but since its mother's day I excused it. However they have young ladies working there and not one seemed to be excited to be there . Noone had a smile on their face. I guess im just used to going to more exciting places . read more

Nettie’s Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Queens Village, New York

Just walking in, I was impressed. From the waiting area to the bar to the rest of the restaurant, the place has a very warm and welcoming vibe. Love the decor especially the black seats. We were seated immediately and the waitress took our order not too long after. Because everything is cooked fresh, it was a little bit of a wait for the food but it was definitely worth the wait. For an appetizer we had buffalo wings and they were so good. For my entrée, I had the catfish with Mac and cheese and potatoe salad as my sides. Hubby had the fried chicken with collard greens, candied yams and mashed potatoes. The candied yams are to die for. The owner was very personable and very present. He constantly checked in on his customers and would even sit with them and chat a bit. This by far is one of the best soul food restaurants I've eaten at. I definitely plan to return and bring more people to support this black owned delicious restaurant. read more

Came here randomly on a Sunday with my boyfriend for brunch and we will definitely be coming back! To start we ordered a mimosa and Bellini. Both were very tasty! For our meals I ordered the Southern Classic, which came with eggs (your way) and you get to choose from a few different sides. I got my eggs scrambled with cheesy grits, a biscuit and turkey bacon. My boyfriend for the French toast with beef sausage. Everything was amazing and well seasoned. We also ordered a side of baked macaroni and cheese, which was the star of the show. It's the best mac and cheese I've ever had from a restaurant and tasted like it was home cooked. I would order that by itself as a meal if I came as a larger portion. Aside from the amazing food, what really made me like this place was the owner, Dannie. He was such a kind and welcoming soul and it made me feel like I was eating at a restaurant with a bunch of my distant relatives. He definitely made the place feel extremely homey and welcoming, which is something I feel like is hard to find in the hospitality industry. He greeted every single table and had conversations with everyone, it was definitely something I loved to see. I will definitely be coming back to try their lunch/dinner food. read more

Took my mother here for a Pre-Mother's Day dinner. I called to make a reservation but was told they don't accept reservations for parties of 2 and they close at 6:00pm on Saturdays - I was a little taken back by the hours but decided to go anyway. When we arrived we had about a five minute wait before we were seated. Can I just say this place is a whole vibe? They have a bar area that was fully packed, the seating area has exposed bricks and tv's everywhere. There was old school R&B music playing. Both my mom and I were excited because it's rare to find an actual soul food restaurant. Most restaurants are Caribbean based with a sprinkle of soul food in it (like mac and cheese). Our waitress, who was very attentive, came over to get our orders. We both had the red sangria, I ordered the bbq chicken (dark meat only) with mac and cheese and potato salad (don't judge me on the carbs). My mom had the fried catfish with mac and cheese and yams. One suggestion would be to have a basket of cornbread to eat while waiting for your food. The sangria was delicious! One of the best restaurant sangria's I've had in a while. We didn't have to wait too long for our food and it was hot when we got it. Now I will say I did ask for dark meat - I got two pieces of very small chicken, but they were tasty. The portion size of the sides were good. The potato salad and the mac was both delicious. My mother said her food was delicious as well. The one thing we both noted was that everything was seasoned. I indulged and got the red velvet cake - it was ok...I've had better but I also had worse. The owner stopped by to chat with us for a food minutes which was a nice touch. Actually the staff we interacted with were all very nice and accommodating which is a welcome surprise these days. Again, I repeat, this place is a whole vibe and I will definitely be back! read more

I went for a to go order they were busy but the wait wasn't bad. We ordered whiting, collard greens, yams. Fried shrimp, Mac & cheese & a banana pudding cake. Man oh man 10/10 recommend. Everything was delicious. The sides were all so good & the yams may look blah but they are absolutely not blah it was super good. The seafood was also really good & fresh. I'm actually mad I didn't try it before I live super close to there. But it's all good cuz I tried it now & will continue to go back. I'll go back to sit down next time. The hostess was really nice, they had a band playing so I'm guessing they may have themed nights. They are only open Thursday-Sunday. read more

Today was my first time at Nettie's. The owner and staff were very kind. The atmosphere amazing. The food was delicious! Unfortunately, I was over charged. I paid $59 for Chicken & Waffles, coffee and 1 Zero Beer. I asked for an itemized bill so i could review the cost line by line which I was never given. On the menu, Chicken & Waffles $21, coffee $3.00. Did I actually pay over $30 for 1 Zero Beer? My sister had the same exact meal, with coffee but she had a Long Island ice Tea and her bill was $40. When I kindly expressed to the staff member, I think I was over charged, she expressed to me, I am sorry for the cost but your beer is why the bill was more. read more

Nettie's Food, Service, and Ambiance is the best restaurant bar none. The owner makes you part of his family.. taking the time to introduce himself to everyone.

A neighborhood gem. I sat at the bar and the mixologist greeted and took my beverage order. I had a red Sangria and water with lemon. The Sangria was delicious with fresh fruit pieces. I ordered the catfish with potato salad and collard greens. The fish was seasoned and fried perfectly. I did not need tarter sauce or hot sauce.The potato salad hit tbe spot and the collards did a dance. The music was programed versus a live DJ and set a vibe to move/sing along in your seat. read more

After a long day of vending, we were able to get a meal right before the kitchen closed. It was so worth it! I had the Whiting meal with potato salad and collard greens. The food was piping hot, and well seasoned. Danny the owner was his usual friendly self engaging with the customers making sure everyone was satisfied and enjoying their meals. The vibe of Netties is upbeat and you are made to feel at home. The food is usually on point and so far has not disappointed. read more

Let me start with entering the establishment. Greeted with a welcoming smile and high energy. Wait then being seated and immediately our server was absolutely amazing she took our order (we knew what we wanted having reviewed the menu) it gets better, the owner Daniel came over, very friendly, asked us and answered questions, of which we had 2 mutual friends that passed and visited the restaurant frequently. Now to the food: I had turkey wings, collard greens and yams. Good lord you know the saying "food so good you want to smack your momma" the catfish...I'm about to cuss in here. My friend had the Mac and cheese and she almost lost her mind, my cousin had the BBQ salmon....I almost fell out my chair I guess you can say the food was freaking fire oh my goodness I forgot the dessert banana pudding cake and peach cobbler like nothing I have had before. Well I will wrap this up and just say this will NOT be the last time they see me, this is my new restaurant of choice and even if I want take out. I absolutely LOVE Netties read more

I think Netties Soul food is a good addition to the neighborhood. Although, it's only been open for a little over 6 months the rustic decor and aged wood gives an old southern comfort vibe. I went on a Sunday afternoon for brunch , I was greeted and seated by the owner. After we got our food he stopped my the table and asked if everything was okay. I ordered bake chicken with mac & cheese and collared greens for my sides. The chicken was good and flavorful. the mac & cheese was okay but the greens could use some seasoning or even add smoke turkey. The portion and the pricing was reasonably. I got 3 pcs of chicken and two side for $18.75. I would visit Netties again and try their wing night and watch a game. read more

My daughter-in-law followed up on my sons request to celebrate his 60th birthday at his favorite restaurant "Nettie's" Usually we are a group of 5, for his birthday we had a party of 12 and delighted in the varied Brunch menu. I had one of my favorites - baby lamp chops and Moscow Mule with Tequila instead of Vodka. After visiting numerous drinks lounges - I'm convinced Nettie's makes the VERY BEST! Thanks Brad! Your staff made my son's birthday very special! 1/12/25 read more

Came for a light dinner with a friend on Friday evening. Staff and manager/owner were very nice and often asked if we need anything or if we're were good. Inside Decor was nice and music played. I got sweet chili wings which comes 6 or 10 piece and that was good. My friend had the crab cake (which was one piece with two shrimps). I had a small taste of the shrimp and that was good. For dinner, I skipped on anything further after my order of Mac & cheese was put in late. My friend had lamb chops, collard greens, and Mac & cheese. My friend had to ask for the meat to be cook more for a better taste. We had mocktails & later my friend got lemon drop drink which she liked. Overall I would stop by again to try an entree and alcoholic beverages. My rating is mainly for the customer service. read more

Netties Netties Nettie's!!! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS to say the least. Was our first time there 2/15/25. From the moment we stepped in the door, it was very welcoming, the music selection made it a whole "vibe" The hostess greeted us and offered seating which was a very comfortable loveseat. There two other couples waiting with us but when the owner came out, Mr Lomas, he graciously seated all of us and the perfect tables. Our table was next to a table of wonderful women celebrating each other Perfectly orchestrated as my husband and I chatted and ate alongside with them like we've been knowing them forever lol.

I visited this soul food spot last week, and I must say I will be back most def. My takeout order was a 10pc sweet chili wings with a side order of sweet potato fries. To be honest, I came for the Banana Pudding Pound Cake. Everything else was a bonus. The friendly hostess helped me with my order, and answered any questions I had about the menu or the restaurant itself. If you like chill & cozy, then you should come. My only constructive criticism is that I need any future purchased slices of Banana Pudding Pound Cake to be two Nila wafer rows wide. One row wide isn't enough. Please believe it. read more
