DavidJanuary 4, 2015The wait is typically 20-30 minutes during the weekend brunch rush, but it is such a good brunch special (2 drinks + coffee/tea). Try the crab cakes or the duck and waffle.
funky flavorDecember 14, 2016Since i been here they have expanded the restaurant, became more trendy and romantic. Their menu is vamped up, i had the best trufflr mac and cheese of my life, i am a truffle lover that dish was art.
Emily BennettSeptember 5, 2017Amazing brunch. Huge portions, and always delicious food. Can be a little pricey, but two people could easily split one dish. The frittata is my favorite, with the parfait a close second.
Great brunch in the area. Love the boozy brunch which is $10 extra to get 2 brunch drinks and coffee or tea.
- Kelly GeerMay 21, 2014The Nutella S'mores pancakes/waffles are to die for. My favorite brunch spot. Definitely make reservations WELL in advance for Sat/Sun brunch or you will wait forever to get a table
Matthew TiberiAugust 28, 2015The new layout is beautiful, food is still amazing (Nutella pancakes!), and the staff is genuinely nice and friendly. Be sure to ask what drink specials available for brunch if they're not listed!
AlexFebruary 21, 2016$18 brunch prix fixe gets you an entree—the duck burger stuffed with Gouda is AMAZING— and TWO drinks of choice. wonderful place and great service.
- Emily BennettSeptember 5, 2017One of the best chicken parmigiana I've ever had. I like to call it "dinosaur chicken" because I can literally make 3 meals from it.
Sanfords is delicious even tho their prices have increased slightly. It's the best place to get delicious food late at night. The service at the bar is friendly & efficient. Def an Astoria staple!
Try anything and everything But the falafel... That u need to go across the street for the food truck! Been coming here since my first day in Astoria ! Local's fav fur sur!!!
Olivia Z.October 28, 2015I came here for brunch. Their crab cake Benedict was delicious. Their egg was cooked to perfection and the portions were nicely sized. Very good food.
__TR3VOctober 21, 2014This place rocks!!! Great food. Decent prices. Chunky Thai Chicken Wrap was amazing!!! I will definetly be going back.
Sean GallagherOctober 26, 2011Perfect any day or night. Winning combo of great food and great price. Service, food quality, ambience, and cleanliness are top notch aspects of this restaurant that make me continue to come back.- L. V.M.February 20, 2017Just discovered this place.. What a GREAT menu... For something different, you must try the Duck Burger...
- Definitely one of the best brunch deals you can get in Astoria - $16 for two drinks and a choice of entree from a pretty extensive list of tasty options
Elvis RodricksJanuary 6, 2013For brunch We had the big boy bfast and organic chai latte- all hit the spot! Great decent place in Astoria ! Get early to avoid waits on weekends .
CJDecember 30, 2016Great beer and cocktail list, porchetta sandwich was amazingly juicy and tender. Dollar oysters were deliciously fresh!
Jeanette ChowOctober 3, 2017There's a diverse range of options on the brunch menu, including some colorful twists to traditional comfort food. A fun place.
inna katsAugust 17, 2014Get the Longtrail Limbo IPA! I hate IPA's and this one's really good. Not heavy like a wheat though it tastes slightly like one, with a bite.
Dominic San JuanAugust 24, 2011Nice joint. But the various "aioli" they have on their menu is really flavored mayo. I love mayo too, but it sets the wrong expectation and a different flavor/texture profile and is VERY disappointing- Michelle BDecember 23, 2011Go to place for brunch in Astoria on the weekends! Veggie zucchini ricotta tomato pesto frittata is the bomb! Mellow atmosphere...be prepared to wait on line for brunch.
The steak salad and death by mushroom ravioli are delicious. Also, the oatmeal stout and banana bread beers are phenomenal. Love the fact that this place is open 24/7.
luna navasJanuary 3, 2013Astoria favorite Brunch is a real cult visit this place , TUNA TARTAR you must try this before die...you will love me forever for this advice.
Chrissy FAugust 25, 2013The food wasn't amazing. A group if friends and I walked in at 4am and it was packed... I'm still not over the fact they had a Duck burger on their menu. I just wish it had a normal menu.- EdMay 29, 2015I've sampled a lot of dishes from appetizers till desserts, never got disappointed. And for wine lovers, please dine-in, you'll be surprised 😉
Cozy diner. The hamburgers taste pretty great and same for the pastas. Brunch here is also quite tasty. Prices are a little more than Bel Aire a few blocks away which has food on par at times. But San
Gordon MeiJuly 14, 2014For brunch, consider the Prix Fix. Entree with one chilled drink (e.g. mimosa with a refill) and one hot (coffee, etc).- DR GMarch 12, 201524 hour booze & good food. Quesadilla was HUGE and delicious. Pulled pork sandwich (apparently award winning) was fine but nothing special. Really nice staff.
The Gouda-stuffed duck burger is unbelievable and they are open late so it's a perfect late to a night out in Astoria!
The prix fix is a real steal. $14 for choice of meal including 2 drinks☆ The Eggs Benedict w/ smoked salmon is absolutely mouthwatering. Avoid weekends; too crowded.
The $14 brunch prix fixe is a great deal, but don’t overlook the appetizers; the yellowfin tuna tartare is fantastic!
Best brunch in the city. The food is all awesome and the bloody Marys are so good. Also, can't knock $14 for food and two cocktails. I'm so spoiled.
Denise CozierJanuary 19, 2015Don't leave without trying the truffle fries. The lobster ravioli was pretty good. Love the ambience and service here.
- Gregory Muryn-MukhaJanuary 18, 2018Duck burger, crab cake, steak are awesome! 100/100. Thank you guys!
Raj ChakrabortyFebruary 5, 2022Try the big boy breakfast. Take reservation on weekends. It’s super busy
Eric TashMarch 6, 2016Food is solid. Tons of options. Only gripe: food takes a while to get to the table with or without crowds.
- Denise CozierOctober 17, 2013The gouda stuffed burger lives up to the hype and the truffle fries are great. Loved my visit.
Elizabeth TuckerJune 4, 2010If you can't make it into Sanford's (which you should def try to), go to seamlessweb.com and order. Saturday and Sunday brunch? TO DIE FOR... and an amazing hangover cure. GOOD LUCK!
Vivian KongSeptember 3, 2017It's always busy but great brunch menu - portions are on the larger side!
Jess KirkmanAugust 4, 2012This place is great and high quality ANY time of day or night. The ONLY con? It's always freezing as hell in there!! Bring your sweater :)
Sabrina FonsecaOctober 12, 2012The duck hamburger from the brunch menu is one of the best meals I've had in a long time.
KatFebruary 11, 2019typical American diner. massive portions. This breakfast will keep you satisfied all day.
