Lunch with Yvonne and Michael at Queens Beer House

Queens Beer House

Queens Beer House, 92-50 59th Ave Elmhurst NY 11373

We headed here under the assumption this was a German Beer Garden - the Google information has been updated to "Beer House."  It is not a German restaurant at all.

We were joined by Yvonne Rigby and her 6-year-old son Michael.  Once we wrapped our head around the Non-German menu, the food was pretty good.

While the large German Pretzel was perfect, it seems a bit overpriced for an oversize hot pretzel.

I had the Fish and Chips.  The chips/fries were great.  They had a tomato salsa topping that puddled and made the bottom soggy.  I could have used a bit more tartar sauce.

Amy had the Reuben Sandwich with Fries.  The meat was not New York Deli meat, but the high-quality bread, excellent fries, and presentation were more than enough to make this a great meal.

Yvonne had The German Bratwurst, another great presentation.

Michael had the Bianca Flatbread Pizza:  Mozzarella, Ricotta, Onions, White Mushrooms, White Truffle Oil, and Basil.

Carlos Pizza, Middle Village, Queens NY

Carlos Pizza

This longtime Queens establishment where almost all the other customers knew each other and the staff, has a real friendly atmosphere.

Fettuccine Bolognese with Goat Cheese

This regional pizza chain was a great find on Chincoteague Island, VA.  We had the 14" HOTLANTA BBQ : Their signature square crust drizzled with Urban Bar-B-Que® Yella sauce, sliced chicken, regular bacon, and jalapeños topped with Provolone cheese.  It was amazing.  We also ordered a second pizza and the Fettuccini Bolognese  with goat cheese topping.  All were perfect.  I do not know if they deliver, but if we had ordered over the phone, we might not have made the perfect meal choice.
