I never had food that made me Truthfully and literally Shed a teat because i was that happy. For brunch. The red eye. French toast. Peanut butter. Banana. Strawberries and black raspberries.
Erica SklarSeptember 27, 2014The grilled octopus app is so yummy. Paired with the arugula salad (goat cheese and orange segments) it makes a great dinner! Jalapeño corn fritters are a nice snack too... Mmmm
Ben FischerAugust 28, 2014The fried chicken is good, but what really makes the dish is the green beans and mashed potatoes. Don't see that kind of effort on sides very often. Loved the environment too! Will def be back
Rick JamesMay 14, 2013Came here for an early dinner I started with the Jim Jam to drink. I highly reckoned this. Since it was Tuesday they had the lobster roll special, which is a must have for lobster lovers.
TenantKing.comJune 20, 2014The cool atmosphere of this place will definitely make your brunch more interesting. Make sure you bring cash though, because they don't accept cards.
Christina C.September 22, 2013Tater tots & sweet potato fries with spicy mayo is addicting. The Red Eye was delicious.
CompassMay 15, 2014The neighborhood bar embraces many aspects of Long Island City charm, from trendy bourbon cocktails to a takeaway brunch counter.
Hana TahirovicMay 15, 2013Fileto salad with filet mignon, rare. Pork belly also delicious. Best savory dish on menu! #esb on tap as well!

The Disco Tots come with many a tots smothered in cheese & gravy. I recommend sharing if you're into your lifespan & whatnot.
Christina TroitinoAugust 11, 2014Pork belly and fried chicken are great. Also great cocktails but warning it is all cash only- For brunch. Baby arugula with sliced almonds orange slices cherry tomatoes crispy chives and vinegarette
See Deena, the friendliest bartender on Vernon Boulevard. For brunch: A killer Bloody Mary. For dinner: The Chicken Fried Chicken and a Tecate.
Jeff WangApril 29, 2012The pork belly is out of this world, and the deep fried oreos are beyond imagination, because they are. Nice waiter!
Great brunch spot if you're in LIC. The bacon mac & cheese is a must. They also serve tater tots!
very cool vibe here. brunch was good. had the x sandwich and im definitely going back. best LIC spot, along w blend and tournesol.
Stephanie P.December 7, 2014Insanely over priced food. May come back to try their lobster mac n' cheese...too bad it's only on the menu as an appetizer.
Romaine ThomasJuly 6, 2013The drinks are amazing! Get the Jim jam or wam jam the other drinks like razzle are good but small.
Juan OlmedoJuly 12, 2011Tater tots and margartias with brunch! Drinks are great and the chicken fried chicken is yeeeehawwww!

You can get nachos here for $26 if you add everything, no joke
Justine MarieAugust 28, 2011Great place for brunch. Try their sweet potato fries with the spicy dipping sauce, DELISH!
NateJuly 22, 2012The bartender is the sweetest, fastest beer servin' gal this side of the East River
The X Sandwich w tater tots is pretty awesome. Trying out the steak and eggs today!- The X Sandwich tho. I don't think I can come here for brunch and not get that.
Edith G.April 9, 2012I made the mistake of ordering wine, $9 for a small glass of house wine served in a cup is a joke. Very tasty Mac & cheese though.
Of your a vegetarian definitely get the Chili. You won't be sorry..
Kris AJanuary 18, 2010Both the Black-Eyed Pea Cakes and the Sweet Potato Fries come with an excellent spicy dipping sauce.
Best burgers in LIC. And the cherry cobbler is amazing.
