10. Jax Inn Diner

Great diners serving up all different varieties of food whether you like breakfasts, snacks, yummy desserts to hot comfort food entrees are rare these days. People don't really sit around, converse over hot brewed coffee and just ease away from the stresses of the world anymore. They want food right away, fast and easy, not really taking the time to taste and enjoy. That's why Jax is so good. Their coffee is brewed well, actually taste a good cup of joe. Burger deluxes brings back nostalgic memories of youth and desserts like ice cream sundaes or shakes so tasty. Well it's too cold right now to eat ice cteam although I see people do anyway. Service is always warm and lunch yet friendly with generous portions. Happy Eating and I'll see you around the tables although I like their booths here more!

My wife and I visited Club A Steakhouse on a recent couple's visit to NYC. The rating on TripAdvisor got our attention (it was #1 in NYC at the time) and Bruno's story is an interesting one. The atmosphere is fantastic! They use fine details like real candles at every table and have a live two-string and saxophone band playing soft Jazz most of the time during dinner. Sets a great mood.We had salads to start and they were very good but not really exceptional. No complaints though.After the salads, and unsolicited, the chef provided a mushroom ravioli appetizer that was very good.Between this and the main course, there was a rather long wait. But we were chatting and enjoying the music.Then came the steaks and sides, we both had filet mignon and we got mac and cheese and mushrooms. The steaks were very well done with an excellent char on the outside and proper temperature inside.After the main course, again unsolicited, we were offered a variety of desserts. Tiramisu, chocolate cake and beignets. They were all good.All considered the meal was great. The only blemish being the long wait between the appetizer and the main course. The atmosphere is top-notch and the food is well above average.Great work Bruno!Hi Cbeard,Thank you for your kind review and I appreciate you choosing to eat at Club A while on a trip to NYC! I am happy you enjoyed your visit and hope to see you again. Bruno

Visited here two nights in row, the food is excellent and the selection of beer is good. Tried the Jackson Salad which is lovely for a carb free meal...well sort of. Also tried the coleslaw, tasted fresh and a tad touch of spice. The staff is really nice, the prices are great. I think the Jackson salad was $12, enough to fill and have room for drinks. There's a decent sized area to sit outside with about 8 tables. Inside is very warm from the kitchen, the area by the bar is cooler.

We went to this restaurant to celebrate our friendâs 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: itâll 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 girlâs 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.

Visited with my 3 kids and wife. No childrenâs menu but they brought coloring books for the kids and it has a family friendly vibe. Kids split a cheese pizza and fries. My wife and I had burgers which were both very good. The kids loved the ice cream sandwiches for dessert. Really good but limited beers on tap and yummy cocktails. Good find.

We were seated at a table on the back porch--so charming and quaint--for a recent Sunday brunch. The menu is varied enough that everyone can easily find something that appeals to their tastes. Service was great---attentive and helpful. All of our selections were prepared as ordered and tasty. Portions were more than ample. We will return!

street parking is the choice here, depending on the time of the day is not super hard to find parking. This place used to be a regular dinner, open late and stuff. over time they started to change and now they are some super upscale restaurant, very hip and very well crowded. Te food here got elevated and the taste here is king. MOSCATO- always get that sweet wine in my life. so we went ahead and got some sweet wine to start it correctly. TOMATOES SOUP- it tasted perfect, my friends love the soup here.TUNA TARTARE- looked so fresh a tasted so well seasoned, this is a very worth to try item from the menu.GOUDA DUCK BURGER- nice taste like Kibe, the gouda was very well blend into the burger, the burger was very nice a large, I go it with a salad and that was very well made as well.LAVA CAKE A LA MODE- nice and warm chocolate cake, with ice cream on top, perfect mix of hot and cold.Overall I am really impressed with the changes they have made over the years, they are elevated and much better than their original concept. Their food is better tan ever and I think they are an example of success.

This great little place was just down the block from my hotel, and Iâm so glad it was. Super friendly staff, from our server to the manager and cook/chef. The dinner portions were huge! If you order a dinner, be prepared to eat a ton of food, the meals themselves were large, but add the breads, the salads and pasta, and your got an idea of the amount you are served. The menu is both old school diner with burgers, sandwiches, and breakfasts, as well as fajitas, paninis, souvlakia, pasta and a whole variety of other options. I loved this little place. If I lived in Queens, this would be a regular haunt for me

This was our first time eating here. We found it on Trip Advisor. We really enjoyed eating here. They offered a full diner type menu-breakfast and brunch selections, burgers(7 oz), salads, vegetarian panini or wraps, sandwiches,desserts, milkshakes, smoothies and coffee drinks. I had challah French toast with fruit. My husband had an omelette with cheddar cheese and mushrooms. Both our orders included fresh orange juice and coffee. Everything was freshly prepared and very tasty. In addition we had very good service. If we are in this area again we will definitely eat here. One other thing - they have both indoor and outdoor seating.

I love BBQ and make it a point to trying BBQ whenever I am in a new area.I was looking forward to trying the best BBQ in Queens...Hits and misses....Pros and Cons....Service was very good and very pleasant.Restaraunt was clean.Had a nice Imperial IPA.My brisket was dry with no bark or smoke ring. There was a thin layer of fat that provided the only moisture. See picture.Rib tips were good...but Ive had better.They were out of sauced ribs so I went with dry rub.They were very good.Mac & Cheese was very creamy, not my style but good flavor.Other meals at the table were brunch related and enjoyed.It is probably a true statement,the best in Queens.
