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.

I could not imagine that a burger with roast beef that was dipped in au jus, with sautéed onions would be anything but messy. I was so wrong....it was amazing. I will remember this for a long time.
7. All American Bagel & Barista II
Reviewed By JNFII
All American Bagel & Barista II is located in the Broad Channel section of Queens, at the corner of Cross Bay BLVD and Van Brunt Road...literally just before/after the Cross Bay Veterans Memorial Bridge to the Rockaways. This is a large, spotless and great smelling deli. They can make everything and anything under the sun. Some of the best bagels in all of NYC. I had one of their breakfast sandwiches after a 20 mile bike ride and it was delicious. Large selection of baked goods, deli meats, fresh foods, hot coffee and assorted soft drinks. Highly recommend.
6. Happy Jack's Burger Bar
Reviewed By Kitty272727
If you are in the mood for burgers, go here. They have several versions and most are excellent. The fries that come-with are also excellent. The large pretzel on a hook with mustard is fun with beer. Otherwise, if you eat anything else (octopus, pork or beef ribs, falafels) you will be disappointed. They should stick to the one thing in which they excell. The place is small and can be incredibly noisy with locals cheering at the bar. Itâs a place where you bump into the locals (we like the high-school English teacher who doubles as a waitress here).
5. Whitsend
Reviewed By Gershwin12
This place was recommended to us by friends that live in Rockaway. The atmosphere is gritty and laid-back. I knew this was the place for me when I entered hearing music by the Grateful Dead playing in the background. Service was friendly and casual.I absolutely loved the Carcoifi Pizza pie perfectly cooked by the passionate chef/owner Whitney. His love for cooking is evident in the way he prepares his food and talks about the restaurant; if you have sensitive ears and insult easily please check your ego at the door and do not discount this place as a result. This is a taste of true Rockackaway culture not to be influenced by trends and hipsters. It is what it is; take it or leave it. Anyway getting back to the carciofi pizza pie. Made with chard fresh creamy lemon ricotta, complimented by crispy artichoke and Parmesan rosemary; my mouth is watering just writing about it. We ordered two pies for three people and it was plenty for sharing.BYOB. There was a deli directly next-door to purchase beer. Plenty of street parking.

The General Manager of my Fairfield Inn Hotel near JFK Airport had suggested the Bungalow Bar & Restaurant as I had earlier sent him an email requesting: a good seafood restaurant; must be near JFK Airport and directly on the water. We received all three as the Bungalow Bar & Restaurant was extremely good and a great place to visit. Especially with one of my nieces which I had not seen in over four years! She and her husband drove down from Connecticut to join me for a fantastic lunch on the water. After lunch they dropped me off at JFK and they returned back home to Stony Hook.We had lunch on the restaurants large outdoor terrace and our table was directly on the waterâs edge. The view of the water and the weather were both great as the sun was shining brightly.The food at the Bungalow was simply fantastic. From my raw Oysters to start to the special fried Shishito Peppers! This was actually my first time to enjoy the Shishito Peppers and they tasted great and reminded me a bit like the Spanish Padrone peppers. One should not skip these very special peppers. The New England Clam Chowder Soup was superb and for my seafood entrée I had the âLittle Neckâ Clams! Everything we had was very special and extremely delicious.The service was tops and all in all it was a lovely lunch on the Long Island Sound. Finally, what really made my day was the great time I had talking and reminiscing with my niece and her husband. No one could wish for more⦠If you really want a great seafood lunch I strongly suggest you try the Bungalow Bar & Restaurant, you will not be disappointed.

The view is amazing, and a lot of fun to be right on the water. The food was ok but not amazing. I had just run a half marathon and was in the mood for deep fried food (usually I eat much more healthy). The french fries were terrible, totally overdone and really inedible. The mozzarella sticks were fine. The calamari was ok but a little limp. Also got pina coladas, which were very sweet, not much alcohol, obviously made with a mix. Overall I'm glad I went, for the view and the "casual on the water" vibe, but the food was not great.

Claudette catered a private party of 45 people in her beautiful space. I left the food choices to Claudette and I loved what she did. Her food choices were innovative, healthy, varied, plentiful and just plain outstanding. From her falafel and tabboleh, hummus, beet salad to her world famous pigs in the blanket (with her own homemade puff pastry) to her chicken satay, baked salmon, filet mignon, eggplant rollatini, absolutely fabulous lamb chops and on and on. I didnât mention the delicious desserts - banana and nut tart and carrot cake. OMG. I wish I had left overs right now. John, Yarden, Elan, Jose - thanks for all your help. The servers that Claudette recommended - Molly who coordinated the serve staff Adrian, Justin ,and Kinwa did a very professional job also Molly served as a beverage pourer as well. I would definitely ask Claudette to cater future parties and using her space was a plus. Thank you, everyone at Cuisine By Claudette.

Love the Atmosphere and the service. Breakfast is excellent and I enjoy everything about the place. Only downside is one evening for whatever reason my wife and I ordered the Prime Rib special. Someone wasn't watching the store. The Prime rib was absolutely terrible. But I[m going to excuse that one since every time i have been there everything has been wonderful.
