Juan RestrepoApril 23, 2017Service - quick, efficient and welcoming. Food - Hanger steak was well cooked and spiced. All the meats in the Turducken were artfully blended together, you could not tell which meat was which

Sean SmithNovember 28, 2014The fries here are good and I really liked the bourbon ketchup. Not quite a fan of the onion rings go. Desert with apple fritters and red velvet gelato is also very tasty.
Get their Scotch Fashioned with Sheeps Tip. Sweet, smokey, delicious, but also dangerous. The peach bitters really make this drink. Don't have more than two or else you'll be carried back on a cart...
The waiters and bartenders are always super friendly and the food never disappoints! If you like rosemary, get an order of home fries!

Tyler CaineSeptember 6, 20141/2 chicken with fig and balsamic is fantastic. Plenty of food and cooked perfectly. Topped off with a ommegang farmhouse saison
Rivka GJanuary 25, 2015the drinks and food portion size is pretty small. but the crab eggs benedict were really good and the poached eggs on top of the crabcake were fried. which was different/really good.
JenKuduAugust 25, 2012Country fried steak pretty good! Served with a side of cheese grits and a biscuit, which was extremely over cooked :( Surprisingly some of the best scrambled eggs I've ever had.
Lance LacoffMay 10, 2016Nice spot to meet friends for drinks with a variety of options including some nice craft beers on tap or bottled.
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.
Great place - no TVs, not so hip that it's overrun with hipsters. Bartender Chris was great. Small but delicious and unusual beer & food menu. The turducken was outstanding.
Ruby GuSeptember 11, 2011Mmmn pork belly!!! The PBLT is amazing and the cobb salad looks great too. For the record, pork belly is not your regular "pulled pork" and is not "nastiness" but DELICIOUS
Tyler LavalleeFebruary 24, 2013Unbelievable sausage, hearty toast, chunky pan fried home fries, and the most flavorful scrambled eggs I've ever had. I will be back.
Viren KaulFebruary 5, 2017Great beer list. Very friendly staff ... probably one of the best bars in astoria .. chill atmosphere !
Literally the best brunch I have ever had. Really great spin on Eggs Benedict (I had the crab). Two thumbs up!
Shana CarpMarch 2, 2013Crabcake bendict was lovely. Fried poached eggs were texturally really interesting with a Crabcake. Slightly overly salted side.salad. The side spinach was overtly salted, and should be avoided
Ashley LApril 27, 2012Mellow hangout with dimmed lighting and good food- try the Mac and cheese and apricot glazed fried chicken for some comfort!
stellar new spot. speakeasy cocktail (bourbon, absinthe), pblt (pork belly), cheese grits. food till 4 am. industry crowd. gold.
Erik Traveling-MystroJanuary 9, 2016That Griddle Cake sandwich for brunch is tasty as F$&¥! Must try it out for yourself.
Michelle AlexanderJanuary 22, 2017Cobb Salad with Berkshire pork belly was my favorite, and our server was really friendly.
A cold pint of Slyfox Weisse, great music, and fantastic people. Brunch is killer too! Love this place.
Amanda LeeNovember 17, 2013Such a great place! We went for drinks and the bartender was so friendly and helpful!
Vivian CollinsJuly 6, 2013Amazing brunch! Highly recommend the crab cakes benedict. Good service & nice atmosphere.
Great new place. Our fantastic server let me try three beers before picking one. Good food, good drinks. We'll be back for brunch.
Joe PageMarch 18, 2012Brunch was delicious! Rough night out??? burger was bomb, PBLT ridiculous flavor, crab cake heaven ...
Omar BSeptember 20, 2012RIBS: Do not pass on the rack! Meat off bone good and original unforgettable BBQ sauce! SLAMMING BEER LINE UP TOO!!!!
Troy LavalleeOctober 19, 2012Got a free Bloody Mary for their brunch once. Great food, worst Bloody Mary I've ever had. Enough for me not to go back.
Come for brunch and get the French toast with chicken-apple sausage!!! It's probably the best stuff I've ever eaten!!!
My favorite restaurant of all time...everything is consistently amazing
James FiltzJuly 7, 2012Sit at the bar and eat brunch! Makes for good conversation with your fellow Astorians!
Tina PrudenteApril 13, 2012The food is out of this world good!!! But if you want a quiet dinner with no bar scene, go on a weeknight.
Kate PFebruary 11, 2012Solid food and a great cocktail and beer selection plus a Free Pint with any sandwich from 5-7pm.
The country fried steak with eggs and cheese grits are amazing. It was also friggin' huge.
Steffan Olausson PartridgeNovember 30, 2011They serva a mean Burger at Mr Hallett, give a shout out to George in the kitchen, lots a lovin comes from that Man!!!!
Annie GuarinoDecember 29, 2013No Bulleit, no Woodford, but ask the bartender for a bourbon recommendation and you won't be disappointed.
Omg the crab Benedict!! Super friendly staff as well.
Skyler RohwedderJuly 24, 2011Guava lemonade..citrus vodka and guava ..very light and perfect in the summer!
