*This review is for Drag Bingo Brunch with Luscious Lola* If you haven't caught on to this fantastic trend at the Phunky Elephant Gastropub on Staten Island, you need to get your reservations and experience the Drag Bingo Brunch with Luscious Lola! First of all, the brunch is a great deal. $21.95 for brunch and two cocktails. The food is incredible! We had the mac'n cheese stuffed spring rolls (extra charge). More like the size of an egg roll, but crispy and thin like a spring roll, these babies are on a bed of sweet chili sauce and are divine. The chicken and waffles is uniquely served with a lovely southern gravy which contrasts the maple syrup perfectly. Caesar's Huevos are served on home...
Me and my husband have surprise outings where we throw random places into a hat that we have never been to and pick one. This was one of our winners and we quite enjoyed it! We were immediately greeted upon entry and provided with the option to sit inside (a little crowded) or outside (like one of two other people there). The service was great and fast. I ordered the chicken and waffles which was delicious except I don't like coleslaw. But to be honest, if I had to ever choose to eat coleslaw, this would be the one I choose, it was different. I prefer my chicken and waffles to be more sweet with syrup, I think that this should be an option. My husband had the egg Benedict and my son the waff...
I used to frequent this restaurant often with my group of high school friends, who have remained close for over 20 years. We used to enjoy great meals here, including brunches and drag bingos. However, with COVID restrictions in place, this restaurant made some disappointing changes. The hostess was cold and rude when we arrived, insisting we wait for our temperatures to be taken. Our waiter broke glasses twice, spilling their contents all over our children and their electronics. He then blamed an 18-month-old child in our group for his mistake. Another waitress made rude comments, implying that our children shouldn't have been walking around the empty restaurant. Our kids were also told the...
Not sure what has happened with this place but for the second time in a row, my order was delayed and the staff was rude. I don't understand. This has been one of my go to resturants for years. I placed order at 7:04. I arrived for pick up at 7:40, woman says with attitude, I told you, 45 minutes and keep in mind the order was placed at 7:04. She went to speak with someone else, came back and said you need wait another 10 minutes. I asked her did I have a choice? Now it was time to pay, had to ask for all of my change, as they decided to keep the coin portion ot it. If looks could kill when I asked, I wouldnt be writing this. Oh and another 10 minutes after the whole payment issue, that's wh... Book a table now
It 's possible that I caught them on a bad day but the avocado spread on the BLT looked a couple days old. No avocado should be that dark. On top of that, the French Rustica bread was extremely difficult to chew. Everyone else I was with had a great meal and a great experience so I don 't doubt that this place has solid food, but if this is what is considered okay to serve, I have an issue with it. I scraped the avocado spread off because it was so unappealing but then the bread still had some on so I ended up reconstructing my sandwich using the bottom part of the bread with all the ingredients in between. The fries were also just subpar. I don 't know... would I come back? I don 't know...
Went to Saturday brunch around 1PM. Made reservations and expected to sit outside but they were hosting an event and had to sit inside. They had the doors open, so ventilation was good. Had to get temperature scanned and leave an address in case we needed to be contacted, which made me feel safer during Covid. Out server, Joey was very nice and very helpful with the drinks. Food was great. I got the Shrimp Po Boy, which I recommend! And the Mac and Cheese spring rolls are no joke, very delicious. Overall would have felt more comfortable to sit out and enjoy the sun while eating, but the food was good and the service was nice.
So today I went to Staten Island to babysit my nephew. I figured let me order a quick takeout so I ordered a crispy chicken salad, fried pickles, mac and cheese spring rolls and truffle french fries. The menu said chicken salad yet they charged an additional $5.00 for chicken, the truffle fries on the menu said $5 and they charged an additional $2 for truffle. That is ridiculous and a real slick move. Now as for the food, terrible nasty burnt pickles. Mac and cheese rolls and fries also burnt. Chicken was wrapped separately and it was drenched in grease. Worst take out food ever. Not worth the $54 I wasted.
I recently attended an annual Girls Brunch Christmas party at this restaurant. Ethan did a fantastic job making all the arrangements. The food was incredibly tasty and the sangria was outstanding - not too sweet and perfectly strong. On top of that, the price was fantastic! We had a spacious table in the back that was all set for us when we arrived. The staff was very accommodating. Overall, I was extremely pleased with my experience. Book a table now
Unless you have a reservation, you will be turned away. Which is fine... however there is no option to book one online. I looked to make one yesterday and I was redirected to the Yelp page. Was gonna go here for brunch today and was instantly turned away.. despite the fact that I came at opening, no one was there and it was only going to be two of us. I was a little sad since this place is supposed to be great.
I visited this restaurant recently and, although it was not busy inside, we had a quiet evening with live music and generous portions for a reasonable price. The staff were attentive and ready to serve us right away. I will definitely return!
