16 Best Southern Restaurants near Queens

“This restaurant deserves 5 stars; the food was amazing and our server was so nice. However, our waiter was horrible. He insulted a family member, said he worked there for 10 years and was just sick of all the food. He was so unhelpful and nasty. He was clearly angry and had no clue how to treat customers. It dampened our experience but we made the best of the good meal and family around the table. He will be a standing joke in the family!I can't say enough about the food, tho; it was spectacular. And Astoria, well, it's the best place in NY!“

“The brunch meal I had, French toast mezcal, was excellent. I also ordered the chicken wings, fried very well, nice and crispy. Only 2 issues with them, little more effort to remove "hair" and a tad bit more salt. Overall great food and I am definitely returning. I gotta try dinner.“

“I experienced Nettie’s for the first time last evening. My dining experience was excellent from arrival to departure. The food was “DELISH!” The owner was welcoming & hospitable, the service was good, and the music and atmosphere wea awesome! I am so pleased and proud to have a “Black” owned establishment where you can dine in Queens in a tasteful environment, supporting our entrepreneurs and our community. I, along with others will be back!!!“

“Great food with Impeccable service. Been a Whitestone resident for the past 3+ years and never stumbled into this restaurant until last week.

“Stopped by today to order a chicken Caesar wrap. Megan (not sure if I spelled it right) was very funny and personable. She told me she would “make my wrap with love” and it tasted awesome. Will probably visit the other location when I want some mac and cheese but this location was good as well. Nice filling lunch before I went back to work.“
