Restaurants in Ridgewood

“Delicious and such incredibly warm service!! Our first time here and will be back. Big winners were the tortelloni — big luscious pillowy bites — and the gramigna, a total crowd pleaser. Also enjoyed every one of our cocktails. Thank you Gigante team!!”

“Absolute necessary stop if in the neighborhood of worth a drive/ride if outside 👍”

“Love the food & the friendly atmosphere & service. We enjoyed (shown below) bean & escarole soup, prosciutto mozz artichoke sandwich (best crusty bread) and leek & potato soup.”

“Food was good and friendly customer service. I will recommend everyone this place.”

“Low key might be your best slice in Bushwick/Ridgewood. It bests Robertas and Ops easily yet doesn't get the hype of either of the latter. They also have better appetizer options like a mint watermelon salad that we devoured before taking a picture. The pizza hits all the marks of a good pie and then goes a step beyond with a similar price point to Robertas. This is a great spot that's out of the was but absolutely worthy of the trip.”

“I love the wait staff and the owner was extremely attentive to the patrons. I will definitely be back”

“Great Ukrainian food - genuine recipes and taste, handmade, fresh or frozen. Also sells some popular Ukrainian food brands and souvenirs from Ukraine.”

“This is the best food in queens”

“This spot is Legit, new owners are welcoming and friendly. Celebrated a Friend’s birthday and all the staff was very attentive. They even decorated the booth with a Happy birthday sign and some flowers. They have beer buckets, cocktails, and different selection of beer . We had Chicken mofongo as appetizers, just a quick bite . The nachos were complimentary for the tables/ booth. I really enjoyed the hooka “Love”, kitchen closes at 1am . Also, they have a Dj every night , will definitely come back !!”

“Mario and his staff will help you with all your convenience store needs. Hot sandwiches, chips, beer, candy, drinks coffee, and what ever you desire can be found at Kingstar. Mario knows the neighborhood and can provide you with recommendations for other items or service as well. Fast and friendly business.”

“House Of Music was and beautiful Bar and a wonderful experience. Bartenders and neighborhood customers were very friendly. I will definitely make this place a regular stop for Tacos and Margaritas.”

“We've passed this restaurant so many times and always said we've wanted to try. I'm so upset at myself that we didn't try it sooner. Firstly our waitress (sorry didn't get her name) was so friendly and we enjoyed small talk. Ordered fry rice and half chicken. It has to be the best we've ever had. The green sauce that comes with the food is so delicious. We will definitely be back more often and try different things on the menu.”

“great food excellent people I went. there may 11 it was me my wife and my daughter service was fast the food was great”

“Food was very good. Waitress came over with menu and ask what we like to drink. Waiter came over took our order. Fast service. Everyone who works there are very polite.”

“Food was delicious and service was very good too. I usually only go out to eat at the Colombian restaurants I am accustom to go to but today I wanted to try this Ecuadorian restaurant and I’m happy to say that I was happily impressed that the food was exactly what I was expecting. Very good!”

“muy buena la comida recomendado”

“We arrived and there was no one to help us, she was busy inside, but other than that, very friendly and always with a smile 😄, the place is clean, the door that goes to the bathroom is a little scary because it sounds very hard but the rest everything was fine”

“How spoiled am I to have this little shop of delights a few blocks from my front door? Onigiri, Masubi, and Katsu o my. I’d advise coming hungry or bringing a friend the portions are generous and amazingly paired with a genuinely warm and welcoming staff. Also amazing merch, really can’t say enough positive things about my local mini mart :)”

“I placed an order late Saturday night and waited an hour but Door Dash canceled the order and my sweets never arrived. I tried again Sunday morning and I was delighted to receive what I ordered in addition to some extra treats for the trouble from the previous night. So very much appreciated. Everything was absolutely delicious. Thank you so much.”

“Great food great drinks awesome sound.”

“One of my favorite spots in Ridgewood! Limited menu but something for everyone, order and grab a spot outside to take in the neighborhood vibes. The spinach and cheese burek is consistently packed with flavor. Always get the side yogurt to pair.”

“Super delicious and fresh Sushi bowls. I also had the Miso soup and can say it’s possibly one of the best I’ve had in my life! They do everything really amazing here and the service is so nice too!”

“Great for a magazine launch. Cult magazine”

“Its such a clean place,with delicious flavors and awesome staff�����. I always recommend it too my friends.”

“Always delicious! Literally never disappointed!”

“I had been wanting to try the vegan spice bag for awhile. Finally had the opportunity last night and it did not disappoint! I would even say beat my expectations. So good, and looking forward to my leftovers.”

“The iced Raices here is sublime. The baristas here take their craft seriously and you can really see them enjoying making every drink. Watching them make the drinks, do latte art, decorating the iced drinks, was inspiring. They are masters of their craft. Not to mention how amazing and sweet everyone is plus the wide open yet minimalist space that takes up this cafe. This is the perfect place to chill, read, or study, while sipping on some of the best drinks in the city. I live far but I will be back”

“Really good! My stomach felt great after this, good ingredients like before fast food took over beef tallow, cane sugar.

Prices are super fair and staff was friendly. A great tasty neighborhood burger. Everything done right!”

“Different, welcoming and quaint.”

“This place rocks my socks off!! Sarah is amazing, she’s so attentive and really cares about making sure the customer experience is unforgettable. Will be back :)”

“Food was amazing. We got chicken momos and the lamb korma. Great portion sizes great flavor. I just wish some music was playing in the background. It was a little quiet”

“Amazing new food spot in Ridgewood !! I had the Jalapeño smashburger (double), waffle cut fries and the Cookie Butter milkshake and i was really satisfied. everything was good, perfectly cooked, and that milkshake was amazing. nice and prompt customer service as well. i’ll definitely try their chicken next time. highly recommend”

“The food is a 10/10, I love the food here. But the coffee is lacking. The baristas just don't have the best training. Shots come out very watery or bitter. Milk is always over heated which burns the sugars in the milk making it taste bad. This place could be a 10/10 so it makes me really upset to see this one area be weak.”

“Place been here forever. My kids really wanted ice cream while I was passing by I saw they had Gelato in the window so my kids wanted to try it. I wasn't expecting much but it was extremely good. My son said that was the best vanilla he ever had and so flavorful. Now he asks for it everyday. Also reasonably priced. I was very impressed. I got the hazelnut and biscotto it was sooooo good.”

“The second time here... Very nice atmosphere, "real chill"... Very good music. People are kind.... And the girl who works here is so kind and polite. She is awsome. ❤️”

“Great beer, great vibe. Can't wait to make it back there again!”

“I realized I’ve never left a review despite ordering from here for YEARS. E-chiban has some of the best sushi in town for quality and price. It’s one of the few places I get delivery from and the quality and portion size is always great. Their prices have gone up, but I do feel with how much they give you it’s worth it (especially the salmon sashimi dinner)! Their delivery driver (Mok?) is always so kind, remembers my name and order, and is great at his job. It’s nice being a regular here. I’ve tried other places nearby and they don’t come close imo.”

“My first time coming here and it’s not going to be the last. Staff is super chill and the matcha is out of this world ! Totally worth it plus the place is super cute !”

“What a chill neighborhood bar. I am visiting from out of state and really enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere at this place. Nice friendly bartenders and good selection of drinks. Trivia was cool too (Monday!). Recommended to all.”

“At first I thought my wife poisoned me.... And than it slowly dawned on me that it was probably fruity yummy from.earlier... but my God it was delicious! The whole time I was doubled over and writhing in pain all I could think about was the vanilla flavored yogurt with the m&m sprinkles. It really burns!!.... I can't wait to go back again and get myself another yogurt.... As soon as I'm able to walk.”

“The absolute best . Fav items are costillas en salsa verde and their unbelievable barbacoa quesadillas. Totally god tier and it is unacceptable this only has 4.2 stars…my fav spot in this general style in all of bk and queens…”

“Lovely spot, very friendly staff, coffee to die for yummy ;-) Perfect place to sit down and have a lovely lunch. Can't wait to get back in there.”

“Good coffee ☕️ lots of options”

“Great music shows with a sliding scale on the cover charge.I also hear that they have a pretty fair split with the bands, so you know your money is going to really support artists and not line the pockets of some corporate fat cat....Maybe just a regular house cat... that's fat... but that's different.”

“This cake was fantastic!!! The pic isn’t as pretty because I accidentally knocked off some strawberries in transit (not their fault — it was perfect at first haha), but boy did it taste delicious. We got a tres leches cake with vanilla custard, walnuts, and strawberries. It was a hit.

Ordering & pickup was so easy. Great options to choose from. Will be back!!!”

“very nice staff,love the milkshakes here!”

“This place is the best best. I’ve ordered General Tsos bean curd and many Chinese places in the neighborhood and this is hands down the best. They’ll make pretty much any dish vegetarian bean curd edition but the General Tsos is outta sight.”

“Food was so comforting and delicious. So happy they opened this restaurant again, The name has changed but this will always be one of my favorite spots to grab Indian food 😋”

“One of the finest oasis’ in all the land. I’m honestly convinced that one day universal world peace will come to humanity because of Mrytle Pub. An absolute god sent institution. I’d be nothing without this place. The happy hour has saved me from the bowels of darkness and nurtured my soul. Long live the Myrtle Pub…. LONG LIVE THE MYRTLE PUB”

“I used to order from seamless. Great food. I love their curry with tofu. They also have great “fish sticks”. This food is really great and always come hot and nice looking. Go for it”

“Love this local Ecuadorian restaurant! Friendly service and GREAT food. 🇪🇨
I always get a bunch of empanadas: Beef, cheese, chicken, they’re all scrumptious and you must indulge with their green sauce that’s got a good kick to it.
Pastries? 🥐 I love their guava cheese danish or whatever it’s called. Give them a try if you’re in the area! 👍”

“La atención exelente y muy rapida gracias Retazos bar restaurante”

“Our go to coffee place on lazy Sunday mornings or afternoons. Great service and amazing coffee. We buy Variety now for our home consumption. They also have really good teas.
Go and try.”

“I was very impressed with this space. I have to be honest I normally don't think of event spaces on my regular day to day but if you need a space that can be used to hold an event- well this may be the place for you. Here is why: Staff - 10 (they were great and very friendly and accommodating to our needs) Security - 10 (professional and approachable and friendly) Space - 8 (great for the baby shower I attended and big enough for anything you could possibly want to do) Parking - 3 (only downside. Folks it's Ridgewood so you already know. But hey get there early and bring walking shoes and you will be fine) to wrap things up this space simply works. Then when you add professional and accommodating people you can't lose. I'll be back in my best terminator voice.”

“I've been coming here recently and I gotta love the atmosphere here the staff is lovely and offer a wonderful vibe and experience, I love the coffee and the lovely sandwiches and other cuisine they craft. Overall, cool place I recommend to anyone looking for a chill spot to chill, grab coffee, and meet cool and niche people”

“Awesome food. Adding this to my regular local places. Had the chicken pita burger and it was absolutely delicious! Grilled to perfection and loaded with toppings. Also got fries which were great. Food is made fresh to order and great quality. Check it out!”

“These sweet treats were so yummy. So glad I walked into this place and gave them a try. Highly recommend passing by and trying at least 1 thing. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Absolutely incredible smoothies by a shop run by amazing and loving people. This is absolutely a go to spot for me and I’m so happy I made the pit stop in to try it”

“I just ordered a smoked Brisket Pho, the Brisket was well cooked, the Broth was savory. Highly recommend!!!!!”

“Love thier coffe and there sandwiches are nice and big and polish cheese is so good! Nice people and staff for sure very welcoming. And nice different European foods to choose from ! Good experience for me and my children !”

“Best coffee shop/wine bar ever!!!!”

“Any single thing you could need, they got some form of it. Lovely little place with great, classic food and a bunch of awesome people and products. Definitely give it a go if you’re ever around!”

“Delicious place first tome going today and I really liked it the pineapple green tea Nata jelly was super good. I’ll be going back for more.”

“I am so happy. The only restaurant that makes my broccoli soft very soft. The fried rice wonderful ?. Thank you highly I recommend this place.. delivery very good..”

“The cakes at this place are amazing and affordable compared to the crazy quotes you’ll receive from other bakeries in the area. What I love about them is that they will take on any challenge when it comes to cake design. They are my family’s go to and I would order this cake for any event in NYC. I’ve ordered cakes from them for parties I’ve planned in Bushwick, the Bronx and Harlem. They are the best!”

“If you're near by or even at storage & looking for a store, this store is the place to go. It might be small but believe me shopping here is more worth it. From grocery, deli, snack section to hot food, Plus the workers & Owner are great. Friendly, respectful & kind. Thank goodness it's the only store around, cause you don't need another. It's #1 for your one stop shop.”

“First time ordering from here. Delivery was fast, I got the chicken and broccoli. Sauce was light, not as greasy as some places. This is my new go to for Chinese food!.”

“Authentic NYC pizza that is always fresh and delicious! I’ve been coming here since I was a kid and the pizza has remained consistently delicious over the decades. The prices are great and what I appreciate above all else is that’s it’s really a staple of the community. A pizzeria like this with kind hearted owners provides a safe haven. Support local businesses ??

Vegetarian options: An assortment of vegetarian options.”

“Our favorite bodega in the neighborhood! Wonderful people who are always friendly and personable! Fair prices for everything and sandwiches are amazing!Update: no longer owned by the same family and is vastly different. ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5”

“Great vibes and ambiance. A very nice change from the Brooklyn dive bars. Drinks are good and bartenders are nice, friendly, and chatty.
Only negative is if you want to play pool with a group of friends you have to win the table from a couple of pool sharks who continually own the table over and over again. So bring someone who is very good at pool or you’ll only be playing the pool sharks. Kind of lame but whatever. House rules I guess.
Aside from that I enjoy this bar.”

“Great coffee, just like in their other locations, but they really should upgrade the sizes of their cups to be more in line with the average sizes served in the area.For example, they seem to be using an extra small cup and making that the same price as somewhat larger cups are selling for in the area.”

“M&A is a great neighborhood market. It's a good place to pick up the basics. Also, their deli makes fantastic sandwiches. Additionally, they have a good beer selection: Domestic, German, Mexican and Polish beers.”

“Quiet little cafe with the best-tasting coffee and laid back atmosphere. Plenty of roominside and a tiny outdoor garden in a quaint corner of Ridgewood. Only pastrries but fresh and tasty.”

“I love Black Tiger Milk 😍. I love boba cuz it’s not too sweet delicious flavor 😋. I’ll try another kind of milk tea 🧋 and waffles 🧇 for the next time.”

“Frequently shop here as they have good products, great beer, and make a mean sandwich. The guys who work and own the place are super friendly and good family men. Definitely stop by if you need something local and at a good price, or better yet a great sandwich”

“The best Chinese spot in Ridgewood I guarantee you won't regret it especially their spring roll & egg rolls.
Their food is just so fresh is unbelievable good 😊.”

“Gave this place 5 stars because I always come every so often. I’m always treated well. The food is always good. I do prefer to come late night after midnight. I love when the guys cook the food. I never had issues here. I’ve been frequent for a year now or coming up on a year.”

“I really enjoyed visiting this venue. I had the opportunity to hear three dreampop bands and all of them played amazing. The prices are ok and the atmosphere is welcoming. There's a $5 pool table and comfy chairs.”

“Dos Cafe? More like Cinco Cafe cuz this is a five star establishment. Huge menu, food good, fast service, chill vibes, good prices, cute illustrations on the chalk board.”

“I'm a neighbor of the area for 30 uears and this bakery is excellent tje service is great this women are so pleasant respect and kindness tje food os delicious authentic Colombian pandebonos tje big cheese bread is one of my favorites I definitely recommend”

“Great coffee & despite it being in a grocery store there's Wi-Fi and some bar seating by a window if you want an unexpected (and very clean) place to get some work done!”

“I absolutely LOVE this place!!! It is so convenient and has such wonderful and welcoming employees:) Their falafel is better than anything I’ve ever experienced. I strictly go to New York to have their wraps.”

“Hola ! Solo quiero desir que sin duda Son De Cali tienen el mejor cafè de la zoná y también sus productos de bakery excellentes como el pan de trigo el de avena las almojábanas y el pan de queso. Ah y las empanadas the best también tienen bandejas distintas. Batidas en fin muy bien servicio las personas que atienden son muy amables y muy rápidas y en este caso es bueno q atiende no rápido por q aveces tenemos q dejar el rato afuera pero no hay problemas por q entras y en dos minutos sales con tu cafecito y tu pansito. Gracias Colombia por tu gastronomía. Y se los dice un Mexicanò”

“Forest Fresh Deli is my go-to deli and grocery in the area. Their shop is clean and well stocked. Sal is a wonderful employee. They will get you what you need and get you out of there fast. I have been please that their sodas and drinks are seemingly not expired like some of the other delis in the area. They have hot food offerings as well. This is a go to place for items you need to get quickly, and they have fair prices. Two thumbs up!”

“Good place to have lattes when I’m in the area.”

“The service and the food here were very good. They were able to accommodate me & my family as walk ins. We've mentioned it a few times since are visit and look forward to coming back.”

“I rarely leave reviews for anywhere or anything but I stopped in today for a juice because the weather was so pleasant and everyone was so friendly and accommodating, from the man behind the reguster to the lady preparing everything. The place was super clean and well organized and I’ll gladly return again.”

“We love this location! Marc is the absolutely best — he makes the best coffees AND absolutely insane sandwiches/food. Great atmosphere, super chill but welcoming ☺️”

“Lady is very nice and food is comforting every time. It’s really cheap because we usually have leftovers. If you want real Dominican food, this is the place to go”

“The best! Every one is friendly, the emoladas and entomatadas were great best in the Brownsville! Everything was full of flavor. Make sure you leave room for the pan de elote! Wowza amazing!”

“Was it better back in the 2000s and before? Definitely, but it’s still a solid diner. Their pancakes are amazing, it has that old school NY diner taste to them, that I crave from time to time. Fair portions, and cheaper than chain restaurants like ihop. Just wish they served better sausage links, but still decent so can’t complain.”

“I delayed going here cuz of some other reviews ngl… but it’s excellent. Bro over there seems like a standup guy as well. Been there a few times at this point, idk what yall talking about.”

“Delicious! I've stopped in here a few times for tostadas lunches, and they are always tasty. The regular coffee is also delicious and service is always pleasant and prompt.”
