Today my wife and I along with family members went to this diner to celebrate our "GRANDDAUGHTER"S GRADUATION". This was the first time we've been here and I must say the food was enjoyable as well as the service. There's quite a variety of food selections on their menu so you can definitely find something you'd like on it.

We went Saturday night for a couple drinks to start the night off. Service was prompt and courteous and we were served refills very quickly . One thing though the entrance is hard to find and it's not really Clearly labelled and there are steps that I'm sure at the end of the night people stumble out of the bar but other than that good bar scene

We went to this restaurant to celebrate our friend’s 80th birthday. Although we traveled a distance to eat here because we wanted a special dinner, our waiter seemed uninterested in serving us. A simple request for an extra glass was met with the response: it’ll be a few minutes. Really? The bar was a few feet away. When we told him that we were ready to order, he told us he would take it in a few minutes. This was how the whole lunch went. My request for no garlic was not heeded and was sick all evening. He even forgot to put a candle on the birthday girl’s dessert even though he was told. This is not a cheap restaurant - the bill was about $50 per person for lunch. Unfortunately the tip was automatically added, otherwise I would have left far less. There was no need to please us when you know you are getting 18% of the bill. We will never go here again! He truly spoiled the day for everyone, but especially the birthday celebrant.

I visited with a customer who is vegetarian. The only reason I picked this venue was based on many positive reviews. Here's what you need to know about this restaurant----This is a cash only restaurant. While they don't serve meat/animal proteins, they do serve many meat analogue products for those who are flexitarians or trying to cut back on animal proteins. The venue is very small and resembles an old 1950's soda fountain. They play homage to Sri Chinmoy whose pictures and books are plastered all over. You couldn't tell from the staff that this restaurant was buddhist, but the food and culture seemed to be. They only serve breakfast and lunch. They seem to specialize in breakfast, though. we came for lunch and my customer and I ordered the turkey club which was amazing. Served with wheat toast, the veggie turkey and bacon tasted exactly like the real thing. For beverages, there's water and Pelligrino. All parking is on the street. Best to walk.

Family restaurant on busy Austin Street in Queens (Lots of kids with parents). Atmosphere is great. Ate their famous Bison Burger and the fame is deserved. Wonderful taste and consistency and I did not feel over-stuffed, which is a plus for a man in his late 50s. Healthier than other burgers out there. Salads also delicious and Sangria was sublime. Menu layout is new and more complex than necessary. Overall, it was a satisfying experience

We have eaten here many times while staying at the Hilton. This time we were at the adjacent Hampton Inn and our nearest meal option was 144. We were here for a late lunch and dinner. Both times, the service was slow, though it was better at dinner. The food was definitely average. The chicken club salad was good.
