“The first time I came here was for my bridesmaid proposal dinner. The food was delicious! Today we stopped in for some brunch and bottomless cocktails and it couldn't have been better. I tried both versions of sangrias, bellinis, and a bloody Mary to end it off. My favorite would def be the white sangria. We also met Tom the owner. His singing voice is mesmerizing to me. So far during both times I've dined, I've had the short rib, salmon, truffle fries lobster benedict and others. The food is always a hit and drinks are always on point. Hospitality is top notch and they're always willing to bring you what you need. Highly recommend and our new favorite spot.“

“Delicious well-seasoned food. We had the shrimp boil with potatoes, corn, and broccoli, an order of cranberry rice, and an order of jerk wings. Every dish was great. Service is nice. The food is made to order so it’s not fast but it’s worth it. There are two outdoor tables so seating is a little bit difficult to come by.“

“Juan at Cotto at the LGA terminal C location was very attentive while visiting the terminal on our way back home from our NYC visit. It’s the airport so it’s a little more than if you got it somewhere else but I was very happy with the meatball Parmesan and the wedge salad my wife and I got as well as the Long Island iced tea. It’s New York and is not Burger King and you get what you pay for. They were all very good here. Juan was able to happily accommodate getting a little side of extra marinara sauce for my wife’s sandwich. Was a very pleasant experience and I highly recommend. Enjoyed our visit.“

“I saw that one review from the person saying their oxtail was bad, but saw a plethora of positive reviews standing against it. I decided to give them a go and do NOT regret it! Lovely little spot for a late night meal! The cashier was very pleasant with a great attitude. I came by after finding my Airbnb and ordered 3 empanadas: Jerk Chicken, Salmon, & Oxtail. This is not a standard menu option, but she told me I could mix and match :)

I loved it!!! WONDERFULLY tasty food and a perfect crisp to the empanadas - not too hard and not too soft/mushy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Fast delivery, I ordered the teriyaki and Fried rice bowl, good flavor and would order again. I also ordered the apple cinnamon Bao as it looked amazing, it was very disappointing. The apples weren't seasoned so all I could taste was the breading, I will not order that again and I only ate 1 of them.“

“The Ultimate Bayside Brunch Experience! 🌟

If you are looking for the best rooftop brunch in Queens, look no further than Bourbon Street in Bayside! The atmosphere up on the rooftop is perfection—airy, vibrant, and the perfect spot to spend a Sunday.The food was absolutely out of this world! I had to try the famous Captain Crunch Chicken Fingers, and they did not disappoint. The sweet, crunchy, savory combination is pure genius. I also ordered the Belgium Waffle served with eggs exactly the way I like them and a choice of savory bacon. The kicker? The meal also comes with a generous spread of fresh muffins, bagels, fruit, and your choice of a cocktail to kick things off!To top it all off, the chocolate truffle cake was the absolute bomb. Rich, decadent, and the perfect sweet ending to an already flawless meal. The service was fantastic, and the drinks were flowing. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving a top-tier brunch with a great vibe all under $35 for the set brunch!“

Spinach Burek

Meat Burek

“This has honestly and silently become the most solid breakfast spot in Ridgewood. Super understated, you’ve probably passed by it without even knowing what it was or how good it is but truly it is amazing and so worth a try!

3 varieties of crispy, flaky, flavorful burek (eastern European style pizza) - cheese, meat, or spinach. I’m veggie and the spinach is honestly to die for. Portion is huge and filling, and for $7.50 a slice it’s the cheapest breakfast “sandwich” you’re gonna find in the neighborhood.

There are some tables inside if you want to sit but it’s more of a take out type of place I would say. No frills, not the best ambiance, but the food speaks for itself! So so good. Be advised it’s cash only!“
