    Waffles and unlimited mimosas are clearly the best brunch combo ever. And good news, you can bring all the $10 bottles of Champagne and cartons of OJ you want into this popular Queens haunt. Read more

    Menu is loaded with choices, but everything is incredible. Make sure you ask Avatar, the legendary host, to tell you a dirty joke.

    The Bitches say: A. The food is spectacular, the atmosphere is fun, the prices are low, and it’s BYOB.  Just don’t forget to bring cash and go early on weekends to avoid the long wait! Read more

    3 things: Arrive early, Cash Only (expect to spend about $30 per person) and it's BYOB. It's a very popular spot and with reason. Food and atmosphere is great. I had the Bacon avocado benedict.

    Put your name down, grab a coffee nearby, and immediately order the chicken and waffles and double your order atomic fireballs. Lively atmosphere, funny doorman, and jammin' music. And yes, BYOB!

    This brunch makes dreams come true. From the hilarious host to the décor to the food, you'll enjoy yourself. Get the Disco Tots and Atomic Fireballs to start.

    The food was incredible. Cool vibes inside, and the host seating us was great at his job; he made it fun to wait. Also, it took forever to pick what we wanted off the menu--too many delicious choices!

    Best brunch spot in queens and for 2015 make sure you bring your squad and byob.. Large groups are best but I went with a small crew and still got in at a reasonable time 20 min wait time.

    This is the best place on earth. Everyone is wonderful, all of the eggs benedict are worth a try at brunch (my favorite is the American Hardcore), and for dinner the mac n' cheese is incredible.

    The mac and cheese and space jam burger (blueberry bacon jam!) was insanely good. Amazing service, employees are fun and laid back. Brunch was also great, though the eggs Benedict was way too salty.

    The most recent Donut Diva cookie I had was the Rolo Snickerdoodle and it was absolutely delicious and basically a week's worth of dessert in every bite. Read more

    My bacon avocado Benedict (on a biscuit instead of English muffin) was excellent. The music is a little loud for me but that's the case most places. Helpful, friendly staff. Awesome sci fi decor.

    I get up at 9am on Sundays to go to brunch here, and I am not a morning person. Hands down the best brunch I've ever had. and the Doughnuts!

    The Disco Tots are awesome, never soggy and always delicious. Biscuits with maple sausage gravy for brunch, if you have time for a nap afterwards.

    Chicken & Waffles are great, classic dish. A lot of people like the Disco Tots here, but I prefer the Atomic Fireballs. Spicy, cheesy deliciousness!!!

    BYOB - grab some champagne a block away for mimosas, and get ready for some modern takes on southern brunch foods that you've never imagined. Shoot a dart at the menu and you'll like what you get!

    Must have items include the street corn, atomic fire balls, captain crunch chicken fingers and my favorite burger is the Peanut butter Bacon burger. Order the Down by Law or Meatloaf and enjoy.

    We came here looking for a comfort food brunch & were extremely surprised. We ordered the Chicken & Waffles and Egg McRuffin. All tasted amazing. It has a laid back vibe, BYOB, & very friendly staff.

    Yes the mac n cheese is very good, but try the honey dipped chicken sandwich. I happened to have it on a hangover and it was everything I could ever ask for under those circumstances.

    Atomic fireball, Disco Tots or Street Corn are all a must order. Every burger is creative conceptually and play with your taste buds. Down by Law, chicken & waffles, Meatloaf are my faves too.

    The "South by Southwest" Benedict is one of the most unique twists on eggs' benedict I've ever seen. Pulled pork and BBQ are perfect.

    If your not a patient person don't come here cause you have to wait a long time. Other than that BYOB and the atomic fire balls is the best! Chicken and waffle was bland dnt suggest it. Cash only!!

    Awesome place, it could seem to be hidden. The waffles & chicken are really good. However there is something missing with the sandwiches, once I figure out what I'll write about it.

    The downside to the delicious breakfast burrito and sublime apres-tequila painkiller is that you will have to wait for it, since brunch lines at this Astoria spot are notoriously cruel. Read more

    Holy smokes that enchilada is hot! A runny nose is always a sign of a good meal! The disco tots are quite filling and should be shared. The chicken and waffle has a slow burn on your taste buds yum!

    Chicken & waffles. Don't sleep on the atomic fireballs. Expect a very very long wait, grab a bottle of bubbly once you're almost up front. Ask Avatar for a joke. Live DJ, amazing atmosphere.

    Back after a year and the food is still amazing. Get the cheese stuffed fried green tomato benedict. Only disappointment is the over abundance of hideously dressed hipsters waiting outside for seats.

    So insanely good, pure vibes. Ask for the "Danny White" Australian inspired vegetarian beef cake. So handsome.

    Oh my God. Amazing staff, atmosphere, and food. Chicken and waffles and Eggs McRuffin were both DELISH. Our biggest mistake was not ordering an appetizer! We can't wait to return!

    I was skeptical of the crowds that form here on the weekends, but it really is worth the hype. Come on a weeknight to avoid those brunch lines. Worth every calorie.

    Definetly a total retro hipster confort food joint! Two important things: CASH ONLY & BYOB. the fried fish was nothing special but the squash raviolly was a yummy appetizer with the bechamel sauce.
