Donovan's

This a local staple in Bayside Queens area. I enjoy coming here for brunch. It spacious has good variety of food and doesn't force you to order from one menu to another

I could give this place a 3.5 stars I would, the sole reason I moved it to 4 stars instead of 3 was the phenomenal service I received. Drinks were great, the buffalo chicken bites app was tasty. However, my main course which was the steak tidbits were tender but pretty flavorless/bland and the sauce it came with was mediocre at best, also the fries it came with were average. Might return but unlikely since the food wasn't really the driver behind the 4 star rating.

I ordered a chicken parmesan and it was pretty good and large in portion. Shared a burger with someone else and it was larger than the average burger and well put together. The burger was the highlight of the night. It was fairly loud in the restaurant which I didn't expect. Our service wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing.

Keep your napkin close if you order a burger, because these babies are juicy!!! Very relaxed atmosphere, nothing fancy, just great food and great service. Just about every table in the place had someone ordering a burger, but the rest of the menu looked good as well, their lentil soup was delicious! Would definitely classify this one as a neighborhood gem in Bayside!

3 stars for now. Been here many times. But after the last couple of times I had to drop the stars. But don't let the star deter you from going here. The food is def awesome. My reason for 3 stars is that, not sure if it was just me, but the just because you have a new chef in doesn't mean we have to wait over an hour and a half to get our food. Pretty ridiculous but the food was still great when we finally got it. The couple of times before that food was def slow to come out. Other then that everything else is great. Maybe its changed by now. Will change and update when I go back again.
