    Two egg breakfasts
    Alexandria R.

    My husband chose The Queensboro to celebrate his birthday with a brunch alongside my grandparents, and it felt like a great chance to revisit a spot we'd previously enjoyed for lunch and dinner. Food: 3.5/5 We made it a point to try a range of brunch options. My grandfather ordered the sweet potato and chorizo hash, I went with the two-egg combo with pork sausage (eggs over easy), and my husband chose the Moroccan eggs. Overall, the food was good and flavorful, especially if you enjoy dishes with a bit more nuance and influence from Spanish or Mexican flavors. That said, as someone who leans more toward classic American diner-style brunch, it didn't fully hit that nostalgic spot for me. It's not that anything was bad--it just wasn't the most memorable brunch I've had. Still, it was nice to explore a different side of their menu beyond the burgers, fries, and pasta we'd tried before. Service: 4/5 The staff were genuinely kind and welcoming, which made the experience pleasant. However, they do rely on a QR code-style menu, which can be a bit of a learning curve--especially for those who prefer a more traditional ordering experience. During the brunch rush, things definitely got busy and a bit overwhelmed, so service slowed down slightly. One tip: if you already know what you want, it's best to order everything upfront to avoid delays. Vibe: 3.5/5 Like many New York spots, space is tight. Even as a party of four, we were seated at a small square table, which could be challenging if you have strollers or extra belongings. That said, the space still feels cozy and neighborhood-friendly--great for a casual brunch, just not the most spacious. All in all, It's a solid neighborhood brunch spot with interesting, flavor-forward dishes and kind service. I wouldn't call it my top brunch destination, but I'd come back if I were in the area--especially if I was craving something a little different from the usual diner fare.

    Very warm, and friendly staff, with various, worldly menu items to choose from. Also very kid friendly. Both outdoor and indoor seating available, with plenty of neighborhood parking.

    Food: My husband ordered the chicken jersey dish & I ordered the Brussel sprouts salad with grilled chicken. For some reason I thought it was more of a hot salad but it wasn't. The grilled chicken was warm with the cold salad. It was ok, would prefer hot Brussel sprouts. Service: Excellent Ambiance: Pretty cool vibe

    A solid neighborhood bar/restaurant in Jackson heights. The food is good, service can be high-touch, or done through their system of QR codes on each table, depending on how they're staffed. Definitely worth a stop if you're looking for solid American fare and in the hood.

    Service was so friendly! Quick and efficient! The ambience was fun and chill. They had a rustic feel. It seems like a fine place to bring kids because there were a lot of families with their small kids! My friends and I enjoyed our dishes very much and our cocktails were great and well balanced. We ordered chilaquiles verdes with chicken, potato gratin, and eggs Norwegian. Both of my friends enjoyed their dishes a lot. I enjoyed mine as well. It was well balanced. They offered my friend's daughter some coloring crayons and a page for coloring! I would come back for a nice brunch/lunch/dinner!

    The service here was great. I went earlier in the day but the bar tender was so nice and we talked for a long time. He was wonderful. This place is right near my dentist's office and I decided to stop in lol. Though it was random I thoroughly enjoyed it. They have pretty unique menu options too and I was down to try them. I had this sandwich which some pretty eclectic toppings but it was delicious! I really enjoyed it. And the inside feels homey. There's so many plant s it kind of looks like a green house. It's definitely a spot I would go back too! Looking forward to my next visit

    Went for their apertivo tasting event. Had a great time! We had four different wine based cocktails paired with snacks. Staff is always very attentive and friendly. Everything was absolutely delicious. Look forward to more special events in the future!

    I finally made it back to The Queensboro for dinner after having an exceptional brunch experience there a couple of years ago. I was with my husband, brother, and dog, and we reserved a table outside (we called beforehand to make sure it was okay to have our dog outside with us, and they were incredibly accommodating and kind). This place is such a neighborhood gem, and I can confidently say that if I lived a little bit closer, I would come here on a weekly basis. The food is so good, and everyone there is so welcoming and sweet. Honestly, the service was amazing from the minute we arrived until we left. They even brought a bowl of water out for our pup. In terms of food, the clam garlic bread was as decadent as I remembered, and paired with their delicious clam chowder, it was even better! Their clam chowder is easily the best I've had in Queens (or even Queens and Brooklyn combined). I also loved the halloumi mushroom skewers and their generously plump shrimp cocktail. My husband had the steak, which he said was extremely flavorful, tender, and perfectly cooked. My brother had the cheeseburger, which he was very happy with as well. The roasted rainbow carrots were a tasty side. We ate and drank like royalty, and yet the bill was very reasonable in the end. I can't wait to return soon and I wish this place continued success. They truly deserve it on every level!

    I came here for an early dinner with my boyfriend and his mother. We were seated quickly and taken our order right away. I had their cosmo and their shrimp and chorizo pasta. As a starter, we ordered their shrimp cocktail. It was very refreshing and I was surprised that they used jumbo shrimp. My cosmo was good, not the best one I have had tho. It was a bit smaller than I expected and it was more in the bitter side instead of sweet. My pasta was absolutely delicious, the shrimp were well cooked and the sauce they used was not too heavy and was very tasty. I expected chunks of chorizo in the pasta but instead it was grounded pieces which didn't overpower the whole pasta. I wish they did have more options on their menu; some of their items seem so far fetched that some of the pickier people might find it hard to select something; my mother in law ended up ordering a burger with fries.

    Food was under seasoned and unnecessarily expensive. The creme brûlée was decent but it still lacked some more lavender flavor. The hibiscus tea was very watered down. Service started off good. But when my omelet arrived underdone, and I asked another server for help, he said he'd have them make me another one even though it was cooked through. That rubbed me the wrong way. It gets very full very fast on the weekends for brunch.

    This is an awesome neighborhood joint. The two times I've been were both packed with people who live around the area, my family included. They have a great menu with unique items. The aesthetic is right up my alley, especially all the live plants. Things I've tried: Garlic Clam Bread - one of the unique items they have, very good Rigatoni Ala Norma, Fusili with Lamb Sausage, Shrimp & Chorizo Pasta - very good Eggs Benedict - solid Ricotta Fritters - amazing Service is very good too. Friendly and attentive. Excellent option in the area.

They also have a temporary shed for the summer, for additional outdoor seating. For my meal, I had a pancake burrito, and it was better than I could have expected.

The savory components of the burrito worked surprisingly well with the pancake exterior, making for a medley of sweet, salty, and umami that went really well together in every bite.
