Went here for my birthday last year and had a blast. The food is amazing and the beer selection is wonderful. The service is prompt and they really know how to run things here. It’s great to see they survived 2020 as they had just opened up … More

I’ve been to this place a few times, but only for brunch. This time, I decided to give it a shot for dinner. And let me tell you, it was amazing! The staff was super friendly and helpful, and they even pointed out some of their favorite dishes on the menu. My partner and I tried a few things, and the chips and dip were absolutely delicious. And the yellowfin tuna tostada? Well, it was perfectly balanced and presented beautifully. It was a great experience, and I’ll definitely be back!

Great sandwiches with generous portions and delicious flavors! The ordering process is entirely online, which was convenient but felt a bit impersonal. It would have been nice if the sandwiches came with sides to round out the meal. Overall, a solid spot for a satisfying bite! More

This restaurant features an open concept that is inviting, rustic with a welcoming feel. Our group sat close to the bar for brunch and the surrounding decor of tiny plants were charming. Angelica our server helped with great suggestions which are placed via a QR scan on the table.
Our table ordered the sweet potato home fries with eggs, clam pizza, chips and dip, chimichurri steak, fritters, bone marrow custard I believe it was. My absolute favorite food item was the pineapple cream cheese cupcake!!!!!!!! It is so moist with tiny pieces of pineapple and the perfect balance of cream cheese filling. GET IT! The second best dish was the toasted bread with condensed milk!! So decadent and delicious.
I must say that all our dishes needed seasoning especially salt ( a lot more) which brings me to the the next minor flaw we had, since all our dishes lacked salt we decided to request hot sauce to improve the taste, there is a chef special hot sauce that tasted spoil. Not sure if the banana in it went bad but it did not taste good at all. We ordered pitchers of mimosas, Bellinis and white sangria which are $50 per pitcher, the best I say would be the sangria.
Overall, the ambiance was super chill and welcoming. Lots of outdoor seating with great music. Ask for Luis if you need drinks!! I would recommend this restaurant as a brunch spot to try if you travel to Queens NY.

Great place with absolutely amazing staff. Came with the kids and the staff was so great with them! There’s also some Filipino style food which was also delicious. Alcohol portion is great. And completely surprising their desert was gold; try the muffins! More

This place has a very laid back vibe. Would recommend for any occasion. Kid friendly. Timely service.
Food was good. The jerk chicken sandwich gave me more “spicy mexican torta” than jerk. There are very good bites coming from that pepper under the chicken. The Fish Fillet sandwich is ridiculously good. The inside is flaky and soft, the outside is super crunchy. I’d go back for the drinks and the fish fillet. Cocktails were perfectly refreshing. Had the mojito and mai tai.

I’m writing this review behalf of my father and what he experienced today this morning.
If I can give it a 0 I would! My dad came in here today at 9:30am.
In the restaurant only 2 tables were being used. He asked to be seated and the waitress told him to sit wherever he wasn’t greeted nothing! She was barely acknowledging him. It’s really giving self-service and the female waitress had told him to scan the menu or the menu is at the “bar”. Being in the service industry this is a first.
He escorted him self to the table. And then waited 10 mins and nothing no coffee or drinks nothing. Once again the waitress never acknowledged him again. My dad later then left and felt discriminated and felt very unwelcoming. Not only was his morning starting of the wrong foot he left his gloves :(
This is so sad being JH is one of the diverse places in the world. And the service industry isn’t giving hospitality no more.

Great place for brunch
The eggs benedicts cooked well with generous side of home fries. Could be a bit more seasoned. The apple rhubarb muffin was a bit flat and too soft. The atmosphere is lovely and staff very friendly! Suggested for neighborhood friend catchup! More

I'd heard about Queensborough for ages from local friends but had never been. What a wonderful place! Great friendly staff and a fun, festive environment. We started with the garlic clam bread, which was delicious. I had the jerk chicken (delicious) and my partner loved the rigatoni. Highly recommend!!!

Always an amazing time at The Queensboro - I can’t believe I haven’t written a review for them before. The food is fresh and delicious - the menu evolves with the seasons which is nice. Always something new to try with their main staples sticking around. The staff is very welcoming & friendly! This is a local staple that everyone should try and make apart of their regular rotation of restaurants. Will be back and I recommend to everyone to give them a try!

Outside of a chance encounter in Japan a few years back, I haven't seen my high school classmate @toneyloo in probably over 30 years! I told myself that if I ever got out to New York, a visit with Tony is a must, where he owns and operates his own award winning neighborhood restaurant in Jackson Heights called @thequeensboro. I was so happy seeing how crowded and well received it was when we arrived. No surprise, seeing how super onolicious everything was, including scratch made spam, Garlic Clam Bread, Linguini with Shrimp & Chorizo, Cheeseburgers, Pork Adobo, Monkfish Piccatta with Lemon, Caoers, Parsley Potatoes, Roasted Jerk Chicken, Chocolate Pudding, Creme Brulee, and more! Next time you visit New York, support this local boy doing good in the Big Apple. The Queensboro is a definite must stop! 🤤🤙🏼

We came here for Mother's Day to try out the restaurant. Overall the food was good but most of the entree are under seasoned. I definitely recommend the Chips and Dip, the pizza, and the Earl Grey Creme Brulee.

This is place is a JH gem. I love having another option to work from home. The vibes here make you feel at home. Not pretentious and feels intimate.
The food has always been good and their veggie options are on point.
It's in our date night rotation and a great one to bring out of town guests to.
Also BIG props for the way they care about our community.

My boyfriend and I came here for a Valentine's Day party. Tulip and Rose cocktails hosted the event here. The drinks were affordable and tasty. One of the cocktails changed colors when you added lemon juice (I added a video). There were plenty of seats to pick from. You can sit at the bar, sit at a table, or sit at a booth. There is plenty of sunlight coming in the windows. The kitchen is cook-to-order and everything is fresh/hot. I definitely will come back and I highly recommend this establishment!
