I will warn you now: if you’re looking for a healthy brunch, do not go to Queens Comfort.
I’ve been to the Southern-inspired restaurant a few times for brunch (once when I was walking over from my apartment, I saw this lovely tree… I love Astoria *sigh*).
My friend Caitlin and I shared the absurdly large, strawberry cake donut, which was totally delicious. I love that they included the donut hole… why doesn’t everyone do that?
I had the eggs Benedict, my favorite brunch dish, and theirs was very good. The fresh-ground pepper really kicked it up a notch. Since I last dined there, their menu has changed, and they now offer multiple types of Benedict, all of which are making my mouth water.
Caitlin wasn’t as impressed with her breakfast burrito; she said it was fine, but lackluster.
Another time, I came with Kiyo and one of our friends, and we brought mimosa ingredients (it’s BYOB).
We decided to share some apps. First up: disco tots (tater tots with gravy and cheddar). Oh my gosh, these were so addicting. Obviously, also very heavy. We were in a SERIOUS food coma after this meal.
We also got the atomic fire balls: deep-fried mac & cheese with sriracha and ranch.
YUM!
Kiyo always orders lunch food at brunch; he had the pulled-pork sandwich with coleslaw and fries, and enjoyed it.
I had chicken and waffles… I made my decision because the menu said it had a “Tabasco and maple glaze.” It was a solid dish, but in general, chicken and waffles just isn’t my first choice at brunch. But, if you like it, this is a great take on the classic.
