This is not an isolated incident. On multiple previous visits, the man at the cashier pressured me to “teach” my mother English, repeatedly commenting on her language ability and attempting to test her by speaking to her in English. This made us uncomfortable and felt inappropriate. On my most recent visit, I’m a minor and went with my friend, I was refused service for not saying a religious greeting. When I explained I was only there to make a purchase, the owner became angry and threw the ite

I’ve been coming here for quite a while, and unfortunately, the quality has really gone downhill. It seems like there’s always new staff, and they don’t appear to be properly trained. The food and drinks have become very inconsistent and often disappointing. They’ve also been getting food orders wrong, adding ingredients I didn’t ask for or forgetting my order and giving me what they feel like , which has happened more than once. The customer service is poor, and everything takes much longer tha

Diner-style breakfast & lunch classics, from pancakes to burgers & panini, in a low-key space.
Nice "mom and Pop" type shop. The food was great! My only mistake was I didn't finish the last piece of french toast. Apparently that's a crime there. 😂 In my defense, I was full and already feeling sleepy from what I ate and had alot to do and got NOTHING done. 😂

Food came from an unapproved or unknown source.

I have 2 very good bagel places in my neighborhood, but was told I should try Bagles and Brew in Astoria. I happened to be near Astoria the other day, so I stopped in...I wish I never did because the bagels and sandwiches were great!! The bagels were the best ive had in a long time! and the sandwiche was delicious. I usually dont care about the service if the food is good, but the sevice was great also. So I guess I will be driving further than I ever wanted too, but definitely worth the extra m

Disappointing experience overall. The chai was not authentic at all. expected real Indian cutting chai with proper ginger and spices, but it tasted nothing like it. The lunch bowl was overpriced for the tiny portion size. The futons were dirty . To top it off, the staff was quite rude when asking me not to use my laptop. Why can’t I use laptop? could have been communicated more kindly. Not worth the price for what you get.

I’ve been to LJ’s multiple times — both at Alphaville and now at Danger Danger — and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that they serve some of the best bar food I’ve ever had. I’d even go as far as to say the food is better than what you’ll find at some restaurants. My favorite thing on the menu is the chicken nuggets. The steak is delicious too, so you really can’t go wrong, but the nuggets are fresh, juicy, and somehow satisfying without leaving you too full to cut a rug afterward. Highl

Please go somewhere else. I work nearby and called for a delivery, a worker picked up the phone and asked for me to hold.....which I did for 6 minutes. While I am on hold, I can hear the workers speaking in their language about a customer on the 5th floor who wanted a sandwich returned. Along with other details which I will not write about. Happened on a Tuesday around 1pm. Also be careful with prices, one day they charge one amount the next they charge more. And of course they tend to mix up th

Tasty healthy food with exceptional service. Butbi must add that 2 out of 3 times we ate there not to long afterwards my wife complained of her stomach hurting her a lot after eating, maybe the guy in the back helping out may not be to keen on cleanliness or cross contamination? I can just speculate, I did enjoy the food but this is a deal breaker for me. Just sharing my experience and not trying to knock anyone.

We knocked, we yelled and they purposely ignored us & pointed to the drive thru line. After 10 minutes, another person came for their order and someone finally answered the window. She came and asked if we ordered or need to. We said we need to, she said “your order is coming” and walked away. We decided to leave after the piss poor service.

Fantastic experience at the Mark restaurant both at dinner and brunch. Really beautiful and charming atmosphere, delicious food and cool crowd. The service was wonderful as well. I know avocado toast is not something one would write poems about, but I want to stress out how phenomenal my avocado toast today was - with eggs and salmon. It was perfectly balanced, probably the most delicious I’ve had.

This place is a hidden gem. The food is amazing, especially the pancakes and bacon, perfection! The staff are very nice, listening to everything you say, and fixing it! The atmosphere is also amazing! Like old but new, and the smell of everything else just makes me happy. Thank you last stop for being a thing!

I’ve been going to Palmetto since they opened in February 2020! I cannot say enough about what a great place to go, see really outstanding people, have a cocktail, and enjoy each other’s company. The management team and the staff are stellar and second to none. The cocktails are innovative and delicious. Every time I go, I know that I will always have great conversations with all the amazing people that work there, and with a person I happen to meet that evening. I look forward to visiting New Y

Music was really great. We ordered the onion rings, one vegan burger and one salmon burger. The salmon burger was good but lacked something I don’t know maybe some good sauce ? They were good burgers tho and really affordable. The onion rings were also really big and filling. All in all very filling and nice. Loved the tzatziki sauce on the salmon burger.

One of the best brunches I’ve had this year!! This fantastic Mediterranean restaurant in Murray Hill blends bold flavors with seasonal ingredients to make unique dishes like Pork Shawarma Benedict or Steak & Eggs Kebab. I love eggs benedict and theirs is exceptional! Not to mention the Black Garlic Hummus and Jumbo Lump Crab Ceviche are now two of my favorites in the city. The flavors are unmatched!! And you can’t go wrong with a spritz or tropical Negroni. They also had a DJ setting the mood wh

Breakfast buffet that set me back about $50 a person with tax and tip. Tip was on my bill when it came. Food was good but I've stayed in hotels which would offer everything I saw here at this one for free with your stay, and more too. There wasn't much to it. We paid for the convenience of eating in the hotel is all. Our server was actually excellent and he brought me a small $10 cappuccino that was actually very good. So I'll give the stars for that.

I was on a solo trip to NYC and was walking around exploring when I realized I was hungry so I opened Google maps to see what was close. And I had saved Revelie as a potential spot a few years ago, so I decided to try it out. The food is exceptional! I loved every single bite I ate and would go again in a heartbeat!

Gave Sam’s a shot for the first time via Uber Eats and ordered the Manhattan sandwich. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a letdownthe sandwich was quite greasy, the meat lacked flavor, and the onions weren't fully caramelized. I’m willing to give the place another go, but I’ll definitely be trying a different menu item next time.

Easygoing operation specializing in health-conscious bowls, with a build-your-own option.
Blue Park is my go-to for lunch. The food is tasty. There are enough options without being overwhelming. And it’s easy to get in and out quickly when I’m running between meetings. I described what I eat from Blue Park to a nutritionist, and they had no notes. Also, the people are great. As some places move to using robots, I appreciate the Blue Park crew even more!

Best service and food we have experienced! Exceptional service, they were attentive and knowledgeable in their dishes. We never tried dried age before, and they explained the process along with the flavor profile to us and sauces that pair well, so we decided to trust their recommendation. So glad we did, because it was 100% on point with how they described it. We felt so taken care of during our dining experience. They didn't have Pina Colada, but was able to create a mocktail that tasted exact

AVOID I cannot in good conscience recommend this place to anyone after the appalling treatment my wife and I received from them. What should have been a normal time out was completely ruined by an unwarranted, rude, and racially charged interaction. My wife politely asked the person behind the bar—who was also the manager if they were serving any food. He informed us that the kitchen was closed, which we completely understood. My wife then asked a very standard follow-up question: did they ha

You’re greeted warmly the moment you walk in, which sets a great tone for the visit. I ordered a latte and the French Toast—neither disappointed! The French Toast was light, fluffy, and full of flavor without being overly sweet. Absolutely recommend this spot!

We had an incredible meal here and were really impressed by the variety on the menu. We tried two different double burgers, and both were delicious. The Boogie Burger was a standout - the combination of Swiss cheese, caramelized onions, mushrooms and steak sauce was savory and rich, with the pickle adding a nice crunch. The Hot Momma Burger provided a great contrast - the jalapeños and ranch gave it a nice kick that paired perfectly with the melted cheddar. We also sampled the sides, ordering t

Hip local coffeehouse chain serving house-roasted specialty brews in a relaxed setting.
Cafe Grumpy’s is a coffee chain in NYC and the location in Park Slope, Brooklyn serves very good coffee. The space itself is quite small so I usually get it to go. There is a small assortment of pastries 🥐 if you’re feeling hungry. But the main attraction is the coffee and their unique drinks. I get the espresso ☕️ and it has a strong bite 💪🏼.

The food here is great, there’s no getting around that but the prices are like going to the stadium. I’ve lived within a block of this place since the opening and would come here once a week if a standard size hot dog wasn’t 9 bucks. There’s no reason 2 hot dogs shouldn’t be $10 bucks all in. Instead I come here maybe 2 times a year. For a neighborhood lacking a lunch spot, this is it but not at these prices. (Order: Hot dog, small thing of potato salad and a Coke Zero = $17 bucks.

Stumbled in running from an insane down pour. Bad weather brought us here. Overall, it's a great place. Staff are friendly and attentive. Large selection of scotch and fairly priced drinks for the location. Feels like your typical bar. It's clean, has good patrons, and has a large space to sit.

The seating situation is a bit weird but everything else was great! My friends and I loved the drink selection and the more creative aspect to the bar with the convenience store in the front. We picked out a ton of snacks and they plated it and brought it to us. We all really like my chilled espresso drink (which I recommend like a lot!!!!!!) and the black cherry drink wasn’t my favorite but I think if you like mezcal, definitely give it a chance.
