"We can’t believe we’re saying this, because it’s not really a very New York thing to say, but it’s time to find someone with a boat and make them sail you to Bungalow. The massive restaurant sits right on the bay, and there's boat parking out front. However you choose to arrive, expect things like fried chicken sandwiches, sriracha oysters with buttery breadcrumbs and a lot of lemon, and servers wearing shirts that say, “Coldest Beer In Queens.” It's like they read your mind, and know exactly what you need. Bring a group and spread out on the patio for several hours." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, neha talreja
"At Bungalow Bar & Restaurant in the Rockaways, servers wear shirts that say, “Coldest Beer In Queens.” That claim—whether it's true or not—is enough of an excuse to come here, and the massive patio right on the bay is reason enough to stay. Bring a group for brunch and spread out with Bungalow Bloody Marys, or swing by after a big beach day and bask with a spritz at golden hour. The food is solid—during brunch, you'll find crab cake eggs benedict, and something called the hangover sandwich with spicy Italian sausage. In the evening, we like the sriracha oysters with buttery breadcrumbs, and the fried fish sandwich with chipotle mayo. There's also boat parking in front, in case you actually know someone with a boat. And if you do—mind introducing us? photo credit: Willa Moore photo credit: Willa Moore photo credit: Willa Moore Pause Unmute" - Willa Moore
"A 16-year-old establishment known as the town’s summer den with a roomy deck overlooking Jamaica Bay. Its menu includes crab cakes, tuna crispy rice, jerk shrimp, and seared scallops, alongside a boozy brunch and the 'coldest beers in Queens' mantra."
"Bungalow Bar (Beach 92nd), which has a brunch and all-day food menu (fried seafood, salads, burgers, pasta) is on the same waterfront further east."
"Come for a seat on the waterfront deck with panoramic views, and stay for dishes like a fried cod sandwich on brioche, mussels with marinara, and fried calamari. The year-round hangout frequently hosts live music, and serves brunch on the weekends." - Emma Orlow, Eater Staff
