I tried the Queensboro shortly after its grand opening (pre-pandemic) and have been a few times for takeout. I think that it is a great addition to the neighborhood, and they have done a wonderful job in pivoting during the pandemic. The space is pretty large and welcoming, and the outdoor dining space is really nice. In person, I have tried the following dishes: Chips and Dip (4/5): Very solid chips and dip (house made french onion dip). A great dish to share with a group. Apple Chaat (4/5): A really cool fusion dish. Sad to see it's now off the menu. Spicy Squash Rings (3/5): Also off the menu now, but was pretty good. An interesting take on onion rings. Cavatelli (4/5): Had the vegetarian version of this dish - it originally comes with a pork ragu. It was very good, on the richer side, and of a very good portion size. Mushroom Pizza (5/5): This pizza was excellent. Since the pandemic, I have tried a lot of the pies and some of their family style dishes. All items have been very good. Overall, I highly recommend the Queensboro. They have done a great job during these challenging times, and I definitely plan to continue eating there! read more

Hosted a semi-private event here and it was a great experience during. There was a bit of miscommunication in the upfront on space, but all worked out in the end. It's a beautiful space upstairs with the greenery they already have and rustic tables/vibe. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive, even though we had ~20 in one party, getting drink orders correct. The food that was a part of the set menu was DELICIOUS and there was plenty to go around in family style - we had so much leftover actually. From pastas, to sides, everything was solid. It also came with dessert, a berry trifle, which was a WHOLE container and plenty for the party. They really do not skimp, which is great for a per person option. I'd definitely consider other events or dining options here! (Note: I originally wanted the private space downstairs but keep in mind that it has a different look/vibe than the upstairs so it didn't work for us, so would recommend you checking it out if you are interested in this!) read more

Their gluten waffles app are scrumptious , and crispy ! Their meszcalita cocktail ($15) is strong , along with their rose frozen cocktail.

Outdoor setting, plenty w umbrellas to Keep you cool and also seating w the wooden infrastructure Waitresses / waiters / owners / busboys , all super friendly and don't rush you. We dined for over 2-3 hours , never rushed and enjoyed our time pleasantly. read more

You NEED to try the sweet potato scallion pancakes. Or just order everything because the entire menu is to die for, I always leave broke after eating there. I have also had the pleasure of trying the cookies with tea. The cookies were soooo good. Very pleased. The service is excellent and the atmosphere itself feels different than any restaurant in Jackson Heights so the change is nice. I also really appreciate how spacious it is and the wait for a table is always less than five minutes. Will be going back! read more

Wow, I don't even know where to begin. My neighborhood, Jackson Heights, is getting really spruced up with these fancy restaurants. I enjoyed this restaurant a lot. I like the wide glass windows, which gave you a great view of the streets and it made it seem like you were eating outside. I've heard this place was great for breakfast but I happened to stumble upon it during the evening as and decided to try their dinner menu. I had their fish of the day, which was their 'Mahi Mahi' special. I'm normally not a fan of fish but this was definitely something else. The fish was moist and had amazing flavor (smells amazing and you'll probably think you're eating chicken !). No need to worry about dealing with bones; there aren't any. Phew. I especially liked their quinoa side. It had an assortment of ingredients with the quinoa and I liked that they added sweet raisins to it too. It took a while to make but definitely worth it! The waitresses were all very friendly and were checking up on me and my friend from time to time to make sure everything was ok. The Mahi Mahi special was about 26 dollars not including tip. So yes, it is more than what I'd like to pay for fish, but for the craftsmanship that went into this amazing tasty 'dolphin', I will gladly say it was worth it! Definitely coming back to try their breakfast menu :-) read more

I enjoyed coming here for brunch! They have an open-air section with true outdoor seating on the side street that on a nice day is really nice for dining. I enjoyed a meal of waffles with berries and creme fraiche and my husband got the chorizo hash & sunny eggs, which was delicious! We retrieved the menus via QR codes and also paid via mobile. Everything was seamless and felt safe, which is key especially during the pandemic. I would love to check out their dinner service sometime. read more

We hosted our wedding ceremony and reception in the private dinning space. There are not enough good things to say about our experience. From early meetings with management to plan and facilitate, to the wonderful and attentive help given by Angelica throughout the evening, and the friendly staff of servers and waiters. Of course the food was phenomenal as always! Our guests couldn't stop talking about the menu, which they allowed us to cater to our friends with certain diets such as gluten free, vegetarian, and peanut allergy. We are beyond happy to have celebrated our special day here. read more

I finally went here for dinner and I want to say the menu was good, many options. The food quality and service was really good. Felt like I was at a restaurant in midtown. The place is nicely decorated and has great date vibe. Will definitely return for more. read more

I see all the positive reviews for brunch. So I think I came during the wrong time. Food 2/5 I came here for dinner and the food was not good. My friend ordered the shrimp skewers and I ordered the beef stew. The beef had zero flavor, the brown rice was undercooked. The broccoli with Caesar was the only good part of the dish. My friend's shrimp was undercooked. It was still gray. It took a long time to get the attention of the server to send it back to be properly cooked. We also ordered the onion dip with chips and it was underwhelming. The chips were the quality of a bag of lays chips. Don't order that if you go. Honestly come here for the drinks. They're tasty and well done. Go elsewhere to eat... read more

I loved this place a year or two ago but I just cannot come here anymore. It's gone completely downhill and the last two times i've come here have been awful. For one they have an issue serving way overly sour drinks. Last time my boyfriend got the "hot toddy" and today I ordered a virgin mojito. Both times these drinks were extremely sour to the point where they were gross to drink and we had to send them back. My "virgin mojito" also wasn't even sparkling like a mojito is supposed to be and had no soda water, no mint taste, I was literally served a cup of lime juice. For food, we got the pina colada muffins which were really good, but that was the only thing we enjoyed. My boyfriend got the steak and eggs which he said both the steak and eggs were super bland and he didn't enjoy either. I got the shrimp skewer with two sides, which I picked rainbow carrots and tahini broccoli for. When my plate came I saw the tahini broccoli was raw broccoli, which I hate, and wasn't specified on the menu. Our waitress had a messed up attitude from the beginning but when I said I didn't realize the broccoli would be raw and could I switch it for the roasted broccolini, she got even more of an attitude and tried to say it said raw on the menu, which it did not. She then switched it to "well tahini means raw".... tahini is a sauce, how would I know it would come raw from that? I don't think it's crazy to assume when you're paying for vegetables at a restaurant that they're actually cooked. The guy who brought back the broccolini literally slammed it on the table with a giant attitude. To top it off the "grilled shrimp" was literally white and the texture seemed like it was barely cooked. When I order grilled shrimp I do not expect to get served that. I was uncomfortable saying anything else about the food at that point so I literally packed up my plate in a box and just left and finished grilling and seasoned it myself at home, which is completely unacceptable when you paid to dine out. My boyfriend said he also wished we would have just made breakfast home because he would have enjoyed it more. Both of the last two times we have come here, we left unhappy and not feeling like we had a meal we actually enjoyed. The best thing we had out of both of our last two visits were today's muffins, which is just sad. It's getting harder to find restaurants that are still worth dining out in and a lot of places that used to be good just aren't anymore and this place is no exception. We won't be back again after today. read more

The style says come in, the windows are grand, the atmosphere is inviting, the reggae music was gentle, the staff was warm - welcome to Queensboro! This Brooklyn-esque restaurant is definitely a notable addition to Northern Blvd, Jackson Heights area. Although Queensboro is a gastropub, the menu is very innovative and the dishes are very flavorful. The chef goes to great length to ensure all dishes are well presented with unwavering flavors; whether it be savory or sweet. We were here for Sunday brunch and was not disappointed. My husband had the sweet potato chorizo hash and sunny eggs and I had the pancakes with dulce de leche butter. Portion size was normal, presentation was great, and taste was superb. After brunch we lingered a bit longer and enjoy some cocktails. The bar tender actually came to our table to make sure he understood what I wanted, it was nothing fancy, just a classic kir. Overall my experience made it worthwhile to write this review. Looking forward to dinner soon. read more

Ordered takeout. The veggie burger was really delicious but it was very crumbly so it fell apart. The chips were also good but a little bit soggy probably because I ordered takeout. My friends liked the wings and nachos but I didn't try them. Looked good tho read more

The Queensboro - Veggie Burger with Chips - Gastropubs Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

The space is nice and rustic but that's not enough to upcharge at Manhattan price, especially if the food is so inadequate and corners are being cut. Their waitress was also not very knowledgeable of the menu. The biscuits and gravy was sad to say the least. The gravy was runny and almost sweet, and it was served over white bread???! How can you even put that on your menu as biscuit... If you look into their photos, there are some customers with the square white bread and then others had bisquits. The poached egg was firm and overcooked. The avocado toast was so expensive and it wasn't even good. The avocado spread was not chunky or fresh. It was sour and a thinned out spread that tastes and looks just like the prepackaged Sabra guac you get from the supermarket. The greens that came with it looked wilted/yellowing... The poached egg was slightly better than the one on the biscuits and gravy but it was definitely overcooked. By far one of the saddest brunches that I overpaid for and walked out dissatisfied. read more

Loved loved loved this place! We had a delicious dinner at The Queensboro. The staff was attentive and friendly and professional. The ambiance was great - good for a girls night out or for date night. We sat in one of the booths and had enough privacy to talk. We shared a bottle of wine and ate sooo much! My cavateli with bottarga and cherry tomatoes was delicious. I loved the combo of flavors. It's rare to find bottarga on a menu so I get it when I see it. The bacon/blue cheese burger was delish. It was cooked well and fresh. The wine section was good - not too expensive so we were able to share a bottle of a good Dolcetto D'Alba and chat for a while. Definitely a great place for dinner that we will return to when in the area - too bad we live an hour away. read more

A cute place to go during brunch. Wish they had more substitutes instead of ordering beef or pork bacon which there was Turkey bacon. The menu is contact less so it makes it a bit hard when placing order and trying to add substitutes . Staff is attentive. Highly recommend this place. Would definitely be back !! read more

So nice to have a great brunch place in the neighborhood now. Awesome service, very kid friendly, and plenty of good options both sweet and savory. Burger is solid, sweet potato/chorizo/sunnyside up egg hash is killer, I'd love to come back and try dinner options at some point! My 5 year old did not like the beet/ginger red juice but my 1 year old crushed the entire glass. YMMV read more

I came here on a sunday afternoon after church with my boyfriend. The restaurant was pretty full but we were able to get a seat immediately. The waitress came over after about 3 or 4 minutes and gave us our menus and introduced herself. She was really pleasant and told us about the specials that were being offered that day. I ordered the pancakes with the dulce de leche butter and the chicken apple sausage and my boyfriend ordered the steak and eggs which also came with potatoes and toast. We both stuck to drinking water. The butter is amazing and I could love to make it at home if I can have the recipe. The pancakes are pretty standard and served with powdered sugar. The apple chicken sausage was dry I had to dip it in ketchup. My boyfriend enjoyed his meal but said that he couldve eaten more. I love the service here and have no complaints if we were in the neighborhood again i would love to try their dinner menu or join in on some board games ! read more

I came here to brunch today with my fiancé and we had such a great experience!! The food was delicious, the staff was so friendly and the ambiance was so inviting. We didn't make a reservation and were seated right away despite the restaurant being packed. My fiancé owns his own restaurant in Long Island and is a big time foodie so his expectations are always very high and this spot checked all the boxes of approval. We ordered the "sweet potato chorizo hash & sunny eggs" and "pancakes with dulce de leche butter & maple syrup" with home fries on the side. SOOOOO GOOD! Pancakes were cooked perfectly, fluffy deliciousness and the dulce de leche butter was just the right sweetness. The hash was seasoned perfectly with just the right amount of ratio of potatoes, red peppers and chorizo. Overall a great experience and HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Also, when we left the Colombian parade was going on and the staff was handing out ice cold water to everyone outside which was sooo nice because it was so hot out. We'll definitely be returning and so excited to try other things off their menu. read more

The food and the service were wonderful. We went for my husband's birthday. We were 4 adults, one 5 year old, and and a 1 year old baby.

3.5 out of 5. Went to dinner with my hubby, check out this spot after driving by. Parking is such a hastié in this neighborhood we looked for almost 45 minutes. The restaurant itself is rustic pretty look with great open windows and diner booth style tables? Bit confused with that. Prices are definitely steep and you honestly won't get your money's worth for a place in Jackson Heights. Cocktails: were made well by the bartender who was friendly and cool. The place seems like it lacks leadership or teamwork as diners came in. Quickly became a chickens with heads off for a moment and service suffered( leftover plates on deck, silverware set up late, ask me if I want another drink maybe?, the basics). Cocktails were good and prob the highlight of the night. Food was delicious to an extent, and by that I mean it filled me tummy somewhat but wasn't anything special or extraordinary. Grilled Fava beans had so much flavor but were soggy when presented to the table. Hawaiian pizza was good for a hungry individual but for 17$ I'd get the 555 deal at dominos. 27$ for a steak with a few halves of potatoes and 2 onions is mediocre. At least throw some fries for a "gastropub" feel. Steak came with no sides or something. Still was hungry after that so we got dessert. Panna cotta looked good in the pic but should've gone with the other yelpers advice on this one. It was bitter and tasted like yogurt, not like cooked milk as it should be subtle in flavor and light and creamy. This def has a sour yogurt taste and the presentation seemed anything but modern. Overall I feel I could've gotten this at the diner nearby for half the price so I'll leave it at that. :/ Overall I doubt I'll be back unless is for happy hour. Place has potential to be better and serve better food but for those prices at least serve organic foods. Didn't feel Special and I don't mean it in a hard way just not went as I had hoped though. read more

This place is a great place to have a conversation with other adults. They have cocktails, beers, and wine. I had the pear and margherita pizza when I visited which were both really amazing. One could tell the ingredients were fresh and the pizza was just baked seconds ago. I also loved our waitress who was hilarious and just loving her life. I would say I highly recommend this place to people looking for a meal and some drinks late night. read more

Nothing special about this place. The food was ok. The ambiance it's average, the service it's average. I'll say go only if you are around.

I give the restaurant a ton of credit for having being such a fantastic community partner during the Covid pandemic. To boot, it's a reliable joint for a quick meet-up with friends in daHood if you don't feel like making the trek into the City. My less than enthusiastic rating stems from the mashed potatoes (yes, I didn't have the time this year!) I ordered from the restaurant this year as part of its Thanksgiving offering. For $23, the portion seems parsimonious and stingy, as seen in the pic. Even if they were to sprinkle gold dust, I very much doubt the price justifies what's essentially a no-brainer dish. Disappointing... read more

The Queensboro - Gastropubs Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

"The Queensboro" is a great place to eat and spend time with your family and/or friends. The atmosphere is so great. There were even musicians playing live music while we ate. The only thing is that the waiter spilled alcohol on my brother and I. We are under the age of 18, so we had to be very careful. With that said, everything else was amazing. I got a hotdog with fries, and I finished it all. I also shared a pizza which was delicious with basil. I would definitely come here to eat again, and highly recommend eating here. read more

Excellent atmosphere and service. My daughter and son-in-law took me out to eat here. I had a delicious, fresh burger. The pepperoni pizza was light and the mozzarella was fresh. The food, music, ambiance is where you would want to take your date or family. The owner, staff (Michael and others) were amazing! read more

We have been wanting to try The Queensboro for quite some time. Today was the day and I am glad we were in the neighborhood. Classified as a "gastropub", a concept of a restaurant within a pub, the term does not do it justice. When I think of a pub, I recall a dingy dive bar. There is a bar area w/ high seating on one side but in the back and other side of the restaurant, the atmosphere is chill and cool. Our server was Alex and he did a great job with making our first time welcoming. We ordered the Garlic Fried Rice and the Eggs Benedict. For dessert, we tried the Ricotta Fritters and coffee. Portions were on the small side but the taste and seasoning compensated for size of meals. The fried rice reminded me of Lomo Salado without the meat. We will return next time when we are in the neighborhood to try more of their popular dishes. read more

What can I say? Those Benedicts are solid! Although it will be nice if it include some salad on the side. Coffee had a slight sourness to it. Not my favorite. The chocolate croissant was probably the worst out of the three things. It doesn't have the fluffness. Maybe not fresh? Service was attentive. Manager came by to check on us as well. Atmosphere- rustic, spacious and comfortable Parking- easy on Saturday afternoon. Plenty of street parking They also have a bar... read more

Service and staff was outstanding. I ordered the coconut beef stew and even though it was good, it was mostly potatoes, and literally 4 tiny pieces of beef in the entire stew. That made me feel like they really skimped on the good stuff. Disappointing. read more

Very friendly staff, including to dogs. Great food. Try the gazpacho (of the day)! Fish filet sandwich puts Mickey D's to shame!

Was here this weekend for my job's holiday party and had a blast. The decor in the restaurant is really nice. It's clean and modern. Spacious. You get a great view of the kitchen. There are rustic elements everywhere. Overall, a very visually appealing place. I only hung out at the bar, so I can't speak for the food menu, but I did get to try their pizza, and I thought it was really good. The crust was thin and crispy, and there was a good sauce to cheese ratio. Definitely recommend. They had a good happy hour going on--$5 beers. So I was happy with that. It looked like all of the beers on tap were local breweries (Singlecut, Big Alice, LIC), which is pretty awesome in my opinion. I think it's great that they support local businesses. The staff was also great. The bartender was busy, but attentive, and the owner was constantly walking around making sure everything was running smoothly throughout the place. I defintiely recommend this place-- at least the bar half. I'll definitely be back to check out the restaurant. read more

Nice cozy place with great lighting to take food pics. I came here for brunch the food here is amazing. I would see myself coming back but this time for dinner.
