DK PubLIC Astoria Reviews
Had flight cancelled. Staying at the hotel LIC Manhattan and this is right across the street! Great pub! Great atmosphere! Very clean, smells great inside! TVs with sports! Food was amazing and fairly priced! Especially for NYC! If you’re staying in the area check the out!
Stopped in for dinner and loved it. The burger and fries were delicious, and the penna a la vodka with chicken was a pleasant surprise so flavorful. Service was excellent, with a super attentive and friendly server. Returned for breakfast the next day and highly recommend the pancakes and chicken & waffles. Both were really good! Recommend stopping by if you're staying in the area.
If you’re in the area give this place a try. Fun Tuesday night trivia. Excellent DK Burger. The DK lager is also very good. Great atmosphere, friendly people. Overall, everyone I was with enjoyed their food.
Everytime we visit NYC we make sure and have a few meals at DK Public. The food is consistently great and, the staff have always been friendly even though we're obviously not native New Yorkers - that kindness is very much appreciated. I highly recommend anyone staying at nearby hotels give them a try.
Nice spot ,comfortable feel. Classy set up. Food was really good. I had mussels in wine sauce, and the salmon burger, I really enjoyed my food. My BF felt it needed a lil more seasoning, but i was just fine with it My BF had blackened salmon picatta with mash potatoes and veggies. The display was Gorgeous I mean a fine dining set up on his plate, with GREAT FLAVOR!!! MY SPICY GAUVA PASSIONFRUIT MARGARITA WAS SOOOO GOOD AS WELL. BARTENDER I THINK HIS NAME WAS FERNANDO AND HE WAS AWESOME!!! If im ever in LIC again. Ill definitely go back!
Perfect breakfast/brunch spot in LIC! We were visiting the area with 2 adults, 1 teenager and 1 toddler and they had something for everyone! We had the chicken n’ waffles, breakfast burrito, pancakes with fruit, and the big Alice breakfast - everything was great 🙂 they even had mimosas 🍾!!! This was a very kid-friendly environment, at least for breakfast time! We will be back when we come back to the area!
We did walk-in on a Monday (holiday) evening and it was not too busy. The service was decently fast and the food was really delicious! Everything we had was great. I highly recommend the beet salad. Also, the “public nuisance” sauce for the chicken wings really is quite spicy, so try if you’re looking for a burn! This is a great neighbourhood spot that we will definitely be coming back to often!
We have been here the 25th of December, in the afternoon. It has been our quiet spot after a day visiting NY and before going to the airport. There was nobody but us and a couple of others. The waiter has been very kind and welcoming. I took a Guinness and my wife a cocktail. Both very good. The forniture is very peculiar and totally in line with the mood of the pub. A great place that will stay in our memories and hearts ♥️. Thanks
Amazing burger, one of the best in nyc. It’s juicy and fresh. Loved the shoestring fries that comes with the burger. Waiters and bartenders are friendly and attentive. Also DK is super dog friendly which really added to the ambience. Highly recommend for a burger and local beer in Long Island City.
Much needed addition to our neighborhood. Family owned establishment serving a variety of beers on tap plus whatever delicious meal fills you up till your hearts content. I enjoy the burgers and chicken sandwiches. The fries are thin-n-crispy. Stopping by for lunch when you forget to bring a meal to work is ideal!
Finally made my way here and was not disappointed. Great service, delicious food, and lots of beer options on draft. Fish and chips were delicious. Fish was very airy, crunchy, and moist. The Asian style wings were killer. They use flats so you get a hefty portion. Also had the DK burger and it was very satisfying. Didn't fall apart on me so the bun and patty portions were just right. That apple wood smoked bacon was a tasty crunch. Going back again for sure.
Passed by for late brunch (3P) on a Sunday afternoon....we were the only ones there, and it was spotless! Super cute neighborhood bar that serves food. Friendly server, and of course since no one else was there our food was fast and delicious. We went for the DK Brunch Burger with side of sweet potato fries plus side of ranch and the Chicken Sandwich with Old Bay Fries. Both WTH emerges and sandwich were on really soft buns, not too filling, and delicious! The burger was cooked to my preference of medium and the chicken had a yummy flavor and crunch to it. Mimosa was nice to start after a busy afternoon and after that food coma, had some ice coffee. Love the old tiles, flowers and vibes here.
Ordered chicken and waffles and although the chicken was incredibly juicy the breading greatly lacked in flavor and the waffles themselves were nothing special. My friend order the fish and chips and had a similar experience. The fish was juicy and flakey but the breading again greatly lacked in flavor. Atmosphere was nice, very. I really wanted to like this place but the food just had a couple of misses
Brunch food was good, although it was small portions for the price (see photos, those dishes were nearly $20). The food by itself was fine, but...the service was atrocious. There seemed to be one server for the entire restaurant for Saturday brunch hours. While I wanted to sympathize, there were very few diners - my friends and I were one of 3 small tables. My friends and I also noticed a very overt attitude. Any time a guest made a request, we observed her roll her eyes/make a face. One of my friends asked for a coffee, and she said, "are you sure, it will take a long time." My friend thought about it for a second and was about to say never mind, but then asked, "how long do you think it will take?" to which the server replied, "5 minutes. It seemed like she wanted to make up an excuse to avoid making a coffee, which was strange. (It turned out to take more than 20 minutes). I would not recommend based on the experience my friends and I had today.
I stopped by this bar on a whim on a Monday evening. Despite living in the neighborhood for 7 years, it was my first visit. I sat at the bar and was met with silence… the bartender approached me and stared until I spoke, rather than greeting me. I ordered a drink and 2 entrees just to pick at. The food was decent, but the service was not. At a certain point, I felt closely watched, as though there was concern I wouldn’t pay my tab. To ease the discomfort, I asked for the check early. When I handed over my card, 3 employees gathered around the register, appearing to anticipate a declined transaction. Once he swiped my card and it cleared, they dispersed with noticeably smug expressions, as if a bet had been lost. All over a tab that was under $100 might I add. Based on this experience, I would hesitate to recommend this establishment to women of color dining alone. It’s truly disappointing.
They refused to let a gentleman use the restroom, saying it was for customers only. I politely mentioned that I could become a potential customer, but they insisted I had to buy something first, even just a soda, before I could go. It was handled very rudely. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place. I truly hope that one day someone leaves them a “number 1” right on their fancy front door instead of in their exclusive restroom.
