Went their on a Friday night, great vibe, good music , good drinks, the fried calamari with the fried sweet peppers really good and different.

Billy Keenly

Excellent pickle backs with brine from McClure's. Interesting, creamy burrata served potted with toast for spreading. And the smashed avocado toast is my most ordered menu item still.

Olivia Z.

No brunch yet so got lunch here. The Bonnie burger and the pork sandwich were absolutely delicious. Really on point with the flavors and the pork was really moist. Can't wait to come back for brunch !

Paul T

The backyard space is really nice, great for a chill outdoor atmosphere. The roof is retractable for rainy day weather too.

Crystal Ferreiro

Chicken and waffles ! Perfectly fried chicken over a fluffy waffle and bourbon maple sauce. My boyfriend got the eggs Benedict with country ham and LOVED it. #mouthgasm.

Tony Xerri

Personally, it's a refinement of local favorite, Sweet Afton. Two bars means less clutter and the cocktails are still top notch. Also a plus, extra restrooms and spacious interiors . Good job guys!

Jaimee Estreller

It's a slice of Brooklyn heaven in Astoria. Great atmosphere (with tiny tables), but food was overall good. Pork and waffle was underwhelming, but brunch burger and kale salad were on point.

Tracy Solorzano

Delicious brunch , freshly squeezed orange juice and the place is so cute and spacious ! Need to come back in the summer to check out the patio

Shannon Fahy

Those guys are serving up awesome cocktails as usual. The ambiance and interior is just perfect. I'll be back for the food soon which I'm sure is top notch yummy goodness!

Olessya K

Incredible brunch ! Absolutely perfect benedict & the fried oyster sandwich was to die for! Plus 2 bars & a garden in the back. Recommend!

Elvis Rodricks

Great ambience for brunch and. Food. They have a Winston Churchill a la dining place inside and patio in summer. Everything biscuit was outstanding!

Netsirk

Cute quaint bar/restaurant with backyard and outdoor front seating. The cilantro chicken wings were bomb. Cocktails were awesome. Great place for friends/date.

Sean Wilkins

A great, and long overdue, addition to the hood. No brunch yet, but this will be the go to. Cocktails and food are solid, as always from this crew.

PureWow

Deconstructed toast ? Don’t mind if we do. Add poached eggs , roasted tomato , chili salt and lemon juice to piece together the perfect breakfast . Read more

Their Summer Shandy is amazingly refreshing. Sit outside in their beer garden and grab a pitcher .

India K

This place is so cute and the food is absolutely delicious. Nothing too special but they do the staples right: Mac n cheese , mussels and chicken wings .

Anthony Jones

Great vibes, awesome burger , interesting drinks. Love trying new places but the bonnie is perfect for a late night bite.

Valerie S

Garden sangria is delish! Super spacious inside , plus great backyard . Can't wait to come back on a weekend to try brunch !

Demetrius Bagley

“Pastrami” Reuben & vegan BLT are new vegan menu items per We Heart Astoria

Brad Klein

Decent draft list , cocktails , wines but the happyhr logic is v confusing, very specific 20% of menu. Mezcal negroni was 👌

Mike

Summer Shandy, Avocado Deviled Eggs , Burger , atmosphere - all excellent!!

Christopher Salonia

I went here 6 months ago and I’m still mesmerized by the chicken and waffles . It’s that good that I just sought out the establishment to give them this review!

Seth Terpstra

They use a Pat LaFrieda short rib patty for the Bonnie burger , and they cook it just right. Also, great branding and menu design.

Dan Miller

The mac and cheese is great. You don't need the bacon ; there's a smoky gouda in there that is incredible on its own.

Carlos Russo

Cool brunch spot . Recommend getting the Fried Chicken & Waffle or giving the bacon , egg & cheese deluxe a shot!

Ryan Gallagher

Great brunch . The French toast sticks and BEC are real good. Friendly staff quaint space.

Kevin Carroll

Good chicken and waffles , steak and eggs are both solid

Chris Muñoz

For brunch , you MUST get the Bacon , Egg & Cheese Sandwich ! It's delicious and filling! It also leaves you a mess!

Sarah Maguire

Phenomenal burgers , cozy cute spot! Amazing bloody Mary’s, will be back!

Vince Frisina

El Matador has the perfect spice and funky mezcal kick for Saturday brunch .

Marissa Stuart

I love the fried chicken wings ! If you want great cocktail , make sure to try the imperial dandy!

Kurkina Anna

Quite a conventional place with decent martinis and bites. Considering the place is in Queens, the prices are etching close to Manhattan standards.

Dana Padilla

Great cocktails & mac n cheese . Decor is gorgeous and back garden is perfect.

Elizabeth Banta

First time here-- a great addition to Astoria. The burger , drinks and pork sandwich are delish!

Sunaina

They got everything right - brick walls, dim yellow lights, young crowd and balanced cocktails . Go check it out.

Jen Makulowich

Adorable atmosphere, great drinks and friendly service !

Brunch is on point! Atmosphere is trendy and just beautiful, even the staff

Bonnie Burger is great. Mac and Cheese is great. Drinks are good and consistent too.

Highly disappointed with my last visit. Got the crab sandwich and they definitely used 99cent supermarket burger buns .....

val braverman

Calling pickle lovers! Order the Dirty Pickle Martini . Great ratio of vodka to pickle juice .
