Michael's Restaurant

Classic Astoria old time restaurant.
Absolutely the best.
The servers are wonderful, with many of them having been here for years.
This place is especially good on a winter night.
The Reuben is SO good! And top off with apple pie a la mode.
My favorite neighborhood restaurant in Astoria.
I love it.

We got a recommendation from a stranger that the absolute best mozzarella sticks he’s ever had is at Michael's Restaurant on Broadway.
Yes, the mozzarella sticks specifically because the marinara sauce is very fresh and full of herbs, while the mozzarella sticks themselves are perfectly made and taste amazing.
Not that I was out looking for the best mozzarella sticks, but he got me curious and I had to try it out for myself. These mozzarella sticks are thinner than your typical ones, so it feels and tastes crunchier.
I think the mozzarella sticks are really good but the best part about this appetizer is the sauce.
You could taste all the ingredients that it’s made of, the freshness of the herbs.
I'm a tomato girl, so that’s why I’m a fan of the sauce.
My husband said you could tell it's elevated mozzarella sticks based on the look itself.
Quality gourmet mozzarella sticks and the marinara sauce just goes so well with it.
We didn't know we’d be trying someone’s mozzarella sticks recommendation tonight haha thank you for the rec, Nick! We need to meet more kind strangers by the local halal cart.

My sister and came in with a yen for breakfast at 3 in the afternoon.
I got a delicious cheddar cheese omelette with fries and buttered toast.
The omelette was delicious with a good.amount of cheese.
My sister had pancakes with bacon.
The bacon was crisp and.the pancakes fluffy.
Our order came out quickly and the waitress was attentive, topping up our coffees.
