Reviews - Big Apple Eats
Reviews summary
Nestled inside a Queens building, this clean, bright breakfast-and-lunch spot earns praise for a huge menu, generous portions, and friendly, attentive staff. Favorites range from omelettes to French toast and hearty sandwiches, and regulars love the neighborhood, welcoming vibe. Caveats include perceived high prices, occasional inconsistent cooking and billing, and a short stair entrance (hoist available). Overall, it’s a warm hidden gem worth trying for a satisfying morning or midday meal.

I was originally planning to eat breakfast at a chain restaurant but chose to support a local spot instead. Big Apple Eats did not disappoint. The food was delicious, and the staff were fantastic. View all feedback.
What Danish Khan dislikes about Big Apple Eats:
It’s bad when you have to do this but need to let everyone know, there’s other places in a block radius that will charge WAY less. We have been ordering food from here since November, coming to realize how much we are actually paying. 17$ for a sandwich and 2 ice coffees. I don’t know what else to say. They have no courtesy for a Dealership that orders 30-40$ food everyday or other day, they are charging us TAX on ca... View all feedback.

A little odd that no one [customers] were inside on an early Saturday morning. Sat and ate with my GF and the food was absolutely delicious.

They have no courtesy for a Dealership that orders 30-40$ food everyday or other day, they are charging us TAX on cash on food.I’m super confused when that started. I order food from other delis all the time and there’s no tax unless paid with card. Please avoid this place and go to where ever else is close by.Owner doesn’t care, said that’s his prices, you can take your business else where.Danny Lexus of Queens
I eat here often, they have good breakfast and lunch specials. I adore the Junior Greek salad with chicken, blue cheese on the side. Friendly service.
When we walked in it was empty so my partner and I were a little worried to try. I’m so glad we did though. The customer service was great! I had a Philly cheesesteak omelette and my partner had the Texas toast. We both loved our food. My partner can eat and he was full. Definitely will visit again.
Food there is great! I eat there all the time, never had a bad meal!! You won't be disappointed!!!Wheelchair accessibility: It's up 2 short flights of stairs, but not even on the 2nd floor. Big windows overlooking the street..... anyway, there's hoist thru the main entrance to the building, around the corner.

Came here for a delicious breakfast, hidden gem of a place! Great service and fair prices, will come here again if I’m back in town.
Huge menu, excellent food, very clean! Found this place towards the end of our trip too bad because we would’ve eaten here several times. Open for breakfast and lunch. Servers are ON IT! Love this place. Hidden inside a building so once your gos getsyou here you may have to look around or ask someone but it is totally worth it! 10 stars in my mind. Best place in Queens!
The staff is friendly, and the food is both fresh and delicious.

The breakfast was outstanding! It can be somewhat difficult to find since it’s not located on the ground level.

This restaurant is closed and under construction. There is not even a sign for it. I believe it is gone!
In the neighborhood and went looking for breakfast. Out of Business
The atmosphere was great, the service was ok. I was not impressed with the omlette that was made. I wish I had taken a photo. The eggs had brown spots on the bottom. It was not flipped. It was as if they just threw meat on top of eggs and let it be. Unfortunately, I had this same thing happen at Jumbos in Harlem. Not sure if this is a New York thing or not. Because of New York, you're not sure whether to say anything or not. If they respond, I will return hopefully for a better experience. I walked 10 minutes from my hotel in LIC to get here. Not to. happy. Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $10–20
