“Golly Miss Molly... the other day I frequented my local favorite spot once again: DOX. I was seated swiftly and that was the start to an amazing dining experience. My server, Dana was just excellent to say the least. Service with a smile doesn't even hold a candle to how excellent she was. She was fast, in depth and Johnny on the spot when it came to waters and refills on adult beverages. This extraordinary server could do it all. She was so kind and so sweet and took care of me like it was a bed and breakfast. Once again the food was other worldly good. Let's just say, Dana left with a pocket full of money from all the happy customers that had the opportunity and the luxury to be seated in her section that night.“
“Great local burger joint that doesn't break the bank! My go to is The Grand Moo burger, a blend of brisket, short rib and chuck, always made fresh with good ingredients. Fries are always crispy and hot. I'm not a milkshake guys, but they look good too.“
“This smoothie shop is one of the best in area in terms of pricing, quality and staff. Every time you enter, you're greeted with positivity and I truly appreciate the ability to customize all of the ingredients in your order. Often times, it's hard to find smoothie places that can make drinks without the added sugar (either through juices or purees), but every drink I've had from here has always exceeded my expectations. You totally should check it out!“
“I come to this place almost every morning, and it never disappoints. It is family owned, and the workers are all very accommodating and friendly. Food is always very good and they always cook it to wants of the customer. Also make some of the best smoothies I’ve ever had with fresh fruits. Highly recommend this place“
“This place is a little diamond. Went for the first time last night and WOW. It took me back to Italy. They don't use the artificial flavors you'll find at all the local icecream shops. It's REALLY pistachio and hazelnut and chocolate. The flavors were absolutely incredible and smooth. Not too sweet. Just perfect across the board. No little bits of ice like you get at other spots where the ice cream has been sitting. It was all fresh. And the owner was a lovely Italian woman who was so happy to share her treats with us. They were very kind and patient as we struggled to pick a flavor (because they all were AMAZING). They also have an assortment of tarts and the icecream cakes that looks like the best ice cream cake you'll ever have. They are absolutely beautiful! If you love proper Italian gelato or ice cream this spot is gonna be your new favorite.“
“Great neighborhood family owned italian restaurant. It always so enjoyable eating at Eliza's. Chef makes great food and always has great specials to choose from each night. We started we baked clams and needed to ask for more bread to soak up all that delicious sauce. We both decided on pasta for dinner and both were great choices. I went with pasta rollo which was rolled up fresh lasagna. After seeing similar dishes online I always wanted to try it glad they had it and it was delicious. My wife enjoyed her pasta with chicken & broccoli. Since it was Tuesday they have pasta night and both dishes came with a nice salad.“
“I'm so surprised I hadn't written a review for Marvel before, especially since I have been here a couple times because it's pretty close to my sister's house. It's definitely great value compared to a lot of other ice cream shops. Since the last time I was there they've added more flavor options too. When I went recently, I ordered a small cup of half pistachio/half dulce de leche with the Marvel mix on top (rainbow sprinkles/chocolate crunchies). It hit the spot, although it did not seem as creamy as it was the last time I had it. Service was ok, not the friendliest though. If I'm around the area, I may pop back.“
“Not a formal restaurant , but a great 'take out' place with authentic English pasties and pies .The owner/chef is english , and makes the food as properly crafted "across the pond" . True to form , they also sell 'biscuits and cakes' made there , also .The pizzas are an added treat , and are priced at less than $2.00/slice currently , and after 9:00 p.m. a slice is just $1.50 ! . Whole pies ? .... go there to find out the price or check the website . Limited parking out front , and across from a 'petrol' station . Antonio's ..... who'd have thought ??“
“Enjoying a brew after the beach, they have a great selection and variety of in house brews! Super cool space, friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere with music and people’s conversations. Bar staff gave good recommendations for nearby restaurants, as they only serve beer and not food. Chill vibe 11/10 would come here again“
“Very much a hidden gem. The place is cozy with a warm atmosphere and very cool. There are the big beer tanks visible right in the space. There are so many interesting beer and drink choices and a small menu with a few items like a bar pizza and empanadas. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. There is a tent out back with heaters, tables and benches for extra space. The parking is tight but spots available. Cute hangout and definitely great if you're into beer! ? ? ?“
“I don’t know what this Celina’s problem is but barrier rocks. And as a 30 something year old I can say one of the main reasons I love barrier is because the music is never too loud for conversation. Beers are great and bar tenders are all super friendly and attentive. Food is also delicious! It’s bar food lady go to Gordon Ramsey if you want a 5 star meal.“
“My twin daughters' had their Sweet 16 dinner with 20 friends. The food, the atmosphere, the service, the accomodarions....OUTSTANDING!Vegetarian options: The have plenty of vegetarian options.Kid-friendliness: The staff was so welcoming to 20 teenagers for 3 hours! The owner and staff were so very considerate to them all!“
“I've been going here since it opened and have never been disappointed FANTASTIC beer, great service...nice food truck outside. Constantly getting new beers to try. Definitely a great pace to be a regular. hey also sell their beer CANNED so you can just come in try some beer and walk out with some great stuff to share with friends at home.“
“What a fun and tasty summertime treat! If you "but it's just a snow cone" you are mistaken this is much softer, fluffier and definitely a Snoball! This is the kind if treat once took my first spoonful I was already plotting when I could Come to eat it again and why did I only get a regular sized when I should have gone BIGGER. There are over 100 flavors to pick from and additives and more so truly you can go wild. I really enjoyed coconuts tutti fruti, tigers blood so far. I wish I had one sooner. Lots of young people working behind the counter but they had a smile on their faces 5/5 stars!“
“When I say this woman goes out of her way to make her customers happy, it’s an understatement. We hired Chrissa for a large backyard party. The food was delicious. She made sure we had everything we needed. The staff on the truck was kind and efficient. She tailored the menu to exactly what we wanted. I cant recommend her enough.“
“Love going to Bigelows i’m sitting at the bar the experience is great watching the staff freshly batter seafood and putting it right in the fryer right in front of you. The New England clam chowder is like no other. It is very delicious and creamy the perfect consistency for clam chowder. Definitely the best around the Ipswich fried clams are my go to favorite. They are fried to perfection and very clean oil which makes the food very good because the oil is always clean that they cook in. The people that work at Bigelow’s are great. Always welcoming and fun to hang out with by the bar while you eat your delicious seafood, no matter what you get I highly recommend coming here if you are in the area and you love seafood, you will not get any fresher!! Always leave happy and full from delicious FRESH seafood!!! 10/10“
“Missed my connecting train in RVC, had 5 mins to spare… breezed past the Dunkin for this highly-rated, locally-owned coffee shop. First time. Ordered a cup, resisted the urge to indulge in any of the many tasty treats, went to check out with Apple Pay, only to be told that it was cash-only. Without batting an eye, after seeing the look on my face, the young girl behind the counter said, “don’t worry, your coffee is on us today.” Don’t pass by much, but will highly recommend, definitely make it a point to go more often and never forget the kindness and the great coffee!#custyforlife“
“Wonderful ice cream for humans and our canine baby! We stopped for a treat earlier, tasted coconut, German chocolate and raspberry ice cream . Fantastic fresh with natural flavors. Friendly service and especially catered to our boxer Izzy.“
“The best place in New York to get an Italian subs. The customer service is outstanding, always a pleasure going.I’ve recommended to family and friends and after trying the food they love it as well.If you’re in the area and you like Italian sausages this is the only place to go hands down 10/10 ❤️“
“5 stars all across the board! All I have to say is, WOW! Love the energy and atmosphere! Family owned business and you can tell they take pride in their work! The food is always so fresh and tasty! The quantities are always perfect and the taste is always on point! Seating area is small, but usually clears out fairly quick! Wish we had more establishments like this one here! My favorite is the Hakka chicken with brown rice!!“
“Can’t say enough about our experience last night. It was pouring raining but my husband wanted to go out for dinner. We showed up at around 9pm , after another restaurant wouldn’t seat us. Service and food was incredible!! We were not rushed even though we were the only ones left at that point.They kept telling us, to enjoy and not rush. Is definitely now our favourite place.“
“Best mall on the island, in my opinion. Great tech stores and kids stores. Even good clothing stores coming from someone who dispises clothing shopping. The only issue is that it is so big you can get lost. There are maps all over the mall, but if you can't read them, bring someone with you who can. There used to be paper maps as well that you could take with you around the mall, but they stopped making them. You can get a digital version on your phone, though.“
“I don’t normally write reviews but I felt compelled to write one now. Tonight we threw a surprise birthday party for a family member here. The entire experience was amazing.The owner is super accommodating, even letting me switch the date or the event last minute and change the number of people. They gave us ample space to set up food, desserts, and have more than enough seating for our guests.The bartender was awesome, friendly, and very helpful. He even came to sweep our area before our event started after we dropped some decorations on the floor.There was a live band that everyone enjoyed, from the younger guests to the older guests. The games also kept the kids entertained.This place was exactly what we were looking for and it was perfect for everyone who attended, from the 4 year old up to the 78 year old. This is perfect for events and families!“
“As far as my husband and I are concerned one of the best, if not the best bakery. Been stopping by for years and never had a complaint. We had apple pie, chocolate babkah, various Danish, cookies. I love the chocolate cigars. Staff is always pleasant and helpful, no matter how busy they are. If it is a holiday, go early or reserve ahead of time.“
“So we did delivery and pick up from this spot right here!!!!PLEASE PEOPLE! Check them out!!!Food is 100/10Service is 50/10Atmosphere is 50/10This is the best food spot on far rockaway in my eyes !!Their pullpork, brisket, Mac and cheeszy! Bussin bussin bussin!!!Hit them up asap!“
“Love love love this store and I only been here 2x… the owner harry and the employee Brandon are so helpful with everything .. too much to write but he’s excellent and sooo many people came in to get their daily doses of vitamins and drinks.. he’s really good“
“This establishment is one of my favorites! I came across it about two years ago and their food is phenomenal. I have never had a bad experience here at all - from food, to wait staff, etc. Their Lobster BLT is to die for, but it hasn't been on the menu for awhile. I hope they bring it back - one of the best things ever!!“
“Juice & Gems hands down tops my list of Black owned small businesses!! I come in once a week to purchase patties. The staff comprised of family is ALWAYS extremely kind and warm towards myself, my son and my mom. The patties are always crisped to perfection and the filling … ? chef’s kiss! There are other places I have had delicious vegan patties from but I choose to come here weekly because of their treatment. Customer service is of extreme importance to me & they’ve got that down. My only problem is that I haven’t, yet, expanded my palette to try out some of their other food options. I will and be back her to review!“
“Always an amazing time when I come in for family dinner, solo drinking, or take out. People know each other by name here so that feels goods walking in. Service is always fast and food fresh. Sandra is great, always seats us and makes sure to accommodate our kids. Super sweet. JC makes awesome drinks, and Sal is the entertainer there.Thanks guy for good food,Good drinks and a good time!“
“I've came to blacksmiths many times for coffee and bakery items, but today was my first time having an actual breakfast. The breakfast quesadilla was pretty good and a big portion size in my opinion. I always love getting the maple brown sugar latte! Overall blacksmiths is delicious with friendly staff, but a little pricey in my opinion - which is why I only come here once in a while. Would recommend!“
“This little coffee truck is such a wonderful add to our community. Everything from the truck itself to little touches like a pay it forward board and cold brew growlers helps embrace the Long Beach vibe. The owners greet you with a smile and are always adding new things to the menu. As a self-proclaimed coffee connoisseur, they serve some of the best cold brew in town!“
“It was clean and everyone who works there is nice. It is in a busy area traffic wise, but it is a great place for crussaunts and cookies. I do not recommend their lemonade though because it is very tart. But over all it is a great 4.6 star restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Very friendly to all kids but in a traffic busy area of Malverne.“
Ice Cream Shop • $$
“Best Italian ice spot in elmont/ franklin square. Prices are good, and they have many flavors. They also serve regular ice cream and milk shakes.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of flavors to choose from and they offer free samples, so you and your kids can try different flavors until you find one you like. They also have a small cup size for kids that's an appropriate portion for them.“
“My favorite local cafe by far! Wired Coffee House has my heart, they truly care for their customers and provide quality service. They uplift my mornings every day before I head to work or the city in general. I am not a coffee drinker but my usual is their chai. If you're more of a tea drinker I highly recommend this drink and it goes well with a multitude of flavors (personal favorite Iced Rose Chai is to die for). I also love their bacon egg and cheese sandwiches, perfectly cheesy and distributed. If you're looking for a local cafe to support and try this is it! They are the best! Love you Wired Coffee House <3“
“I have visited this place three times for the Soul to Soul session and was very impressed.My honest review is the atmosphere ìs friendly warm familiar.The music is Top notch and good Vibes.I live in Brooklyn but I am happy to come to Queens sometimes for this.It does replicate a Manhattan style atmosphere especially on a Sunday evening.“
“The food is outstanding, and the service is even better. My friends and I were served by Sterlyn who is very sweet and generous and the nicest Waffle Cabin employee I've ever met (I've been to about 12 different waffle cabins with many different employees). Definitely recommend Waffle Cabin, Long Beach. Delicious and friendly!“
“I were looking for Kung Hu Tea this area.One day, when I'm thirsty or a little hungry, I go to a Kungfu cafe and have tea. A place to meet close friends and a must-try tea house in this area. The staff was kind and friendly, so the tea tasted better than other places. I hope "Lynbrook kung hu tea shop" develops further.“
“My husband came home with the most delicious German potato salad (if you don't like mayo, this is for you). He was very surprised at how good it tasted and was informed that the owners were given this 30 year old recipe from Germans. We can't wait to try more of their stuff. We love supporting local business, especially when it's this good.“
“This was my first visit to Farm Stores. Unfortunately I had just ate breakfast and was only looking for a cup of coffee. Carl was friendly and informative. The store was clean and inviting. The coffee was not too strong yet not weak either. Just right. Looking forward to my next visit, just to be able to sample everything the store has to offer. Support your local business. Grab a freshly baked product. Say hello to Carl for me. Tell him Chef Mo sends his regards.“
