Need a Restaurant Recommendation

Preferably in the Queens area (Bayside, Douglaston, etc) that is good for a group and not too expensive.

I'm open to anything but a steakhouse... thanks!

i love cooking with jazz in whitestone depending on what kind of size group you have its not a huge place. but it has a really fun enviroment and the food is cajun and delish. its moderate priced

Try Giardano's in Douglaston.. it's a really yummy Italian restaurant and is inexpensive.. they have a lot of room for people...

Re: Need a Restaurant Recommendation

These are all on or close to Bell in Bayside...

Bourbon Street is a nice restaurant it has an american/cajun menu. The food is good and prices are reasonable.

First Edition is a sports bar with a good sized dining room upstairs. Their menu is very diverse and most of it is really good.

CJ Sullivans is a bar with a good menu. The dining room is usually empty.

Cooking with Jazz mentioned above is really good but very small - make sure you call in advance for reservations.

Donovan's Pub is always good for a large crowd and very affordable..

If you like Mexican try Tiquilla Sunrise in Bayside or Long Island City, but I think the one in Bayside is nicer.

Donovan's is off of Bell Blvd on 41st Street. It has Irish Pub style food. Almost every dinner is $10 or under. It's a very 'neighborhoody' place. I used to frequent there alot when I lived in Bayside.
