1) MJ, the bartender on Tues. and Wed. is THE definition of a New York bartender. 2) Ask for a pickle back. MJ had this shot locked down 3 1/2 years ago!

So much good food to choose from. You can't go wrong with anything here. I suggest any of the Misto options.
I second the bacon-wrapped stuffed dates. One of the best things I've ever had. Also, be sure to ask for the cocktail on special and save a bundle!
Great service! Everyone was very nice and the food was great! The subway is a lil loud but the sangria minimizes the sound!
Great service, amazing bartenders and friendly owners. Solid selection of beers and wine with food to match. Love it in the summer with the outside tables. Great warm vibe inside too.

Best damn pub in astoria, great bar tenders great atmosphere. Being at the end of the line makes getting home a breeze
Possibly the best restaurant in Astoria. Everything on the menu is carefully crafted. Must try the Red Sonja, the Ottoman Dumplings, red sangria and the souffle for dessert. When in doubt, ask Willie!
Delicious food and surprisingly good beer selection. Haven't tried the sushi. Dinner and brunch are both excellent.
Sac's is my favorite restaurant in Astoria. The pizza is second-to-none (I order mine well-done), as are the homemade pastas and gnocchi (Mama's lasagna!), the asparagus and prosciutto, and much more!
Everything we had - gumbo, fried chicken, jambalaya - was delicious! The decor inside is awesome. I felt like I was in Bon Temps, LA minus the vampires.
Amazing brunch and great drinks but very expensive for a Ditmars establishment. Kind of trendy but good for a special occasion.

The best bar that I've ever been to! Derek and Chris are the best Manager- Bartender duo- this place can do no wrong. Great food, great drinks. They re-define the category of bars as we know it.
Waltz is amazing. Chai lattes hot or cold are the best, hot chocolate is perfect in the winter and if you need to get any work done this is the cafe to be.

Cuban Chinese food. Find a better place and I'll be there. Good food, good service, not cheap. Mixed drinks are surprisingly awesome.
Best diner in the area, hands-down. Give the over-played Neptune a skip & come here for great food & service.
Astoria is known for its plethora of great diners but this is one of the best with its unchanged decor and large, filling portions.
Service is really good and the outdoor garden is always a good move. $5 don't hurt either.
Here you'll find really good sushi selection. And the presentation is so well done you kind of feel bad ruining it.
Red velvet is definitely a specialty here, but also try the cheesecakes!
Here you'll find a fusion of Brasilian, Cuban, and Peruvian food. Try the national plate from the respective countries.

Krya Pikilia, an assortment of traditional specialty spreads, is the best way to sample them at Bahari estiatorio. - Inspector
I think this place is pretty awesome. It's nice to be with a group and just chill & talk. The atmosphere is relaxing and dim but the music can get loud but if you like that then by all means go.
Good food, beer, service, location and decor. We had the carolina and farmers market burger, both great! Definitely go here. We even got free desert :)
This is by far my favorite Mexican joint in Queens. Food is authentic, fresh and super cheap. The chips and salsa are great!
Go with the fresh orange hookah with orange tobacco. Had every flavor but this is by far the best
I <3 this place. The udon soup is soo good. I usually get the soup, noho roll, soho roll and kauai yummy! there ice cream is great too (green tea). The staff is attentive and I <3 the jazz.
if you're looking for decent Japanese/Chinese place - this is WAY better than Iji
Sushimi presentation was pretty cool. Also the large bottle of free sake didn't hurt their cause. Got the live scallops sushimi appetizer w golden kiwi. Outstanding. Will certainly go back.
Amazing spot with an upscale amotsphere. The pizza is to die for! The service is wonderful and everyone including the owner make you feel welcomed. A place to try
Deja vue is awesome! Great atmosphere, enormous size of drinks unlike many other overprised places in the neighnoerhood. Delicious food, friendly staff and awesome DJs on the weekend.
Amazing food! The cauliflower appetizer is unbelievable. You get your own hooka from a choice of endless flavors. Great atmosphere.
The couch in the back is awesome. Chips are bangin & the server Afrodite is fabbulous =)
Service can be slow, but the food is great. Try the falafel sandwich, Crave burger, or either of their soups.
