Jennifer's

The purpose of this review is not to hate or harm this restaurant in any way, shape, or form. That being said, I hope you take this review as an informative review. Atmosphere: The moment you enter this restaurant, you will immediately feel the Latino vibes. I mean, most of their customers are Latinos. You may feel a bit uncomfortable if you have not surrounded yourself with the Latino community. However, do not panic. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming when the restaurant is not too busy. If you get there when it's busy, it can be uncomfortable to move around. Service: I have been there twice. If I'm around the area, I will go there again without a problem. You can see the guys taking your order are hard-working people. They are respectful, welcoming, and pay attention to detail. I appreciate them making my saland at that very moment and not picking already chopped vegetables. Make sure to kindly tell them your desired portions of what you're getting. As Latinos, they tend to give you a portion that is considered normal for them. I mean, their portion of rice is normal, compared with other Dominican restaurants that will give you much more . At busy times, they'll try to take your order asap because they have other people to take care of. So, don't feel like you're being rushed. It is just the way most restaurants function when they are packed with customers. Food: Nothing to complain about so far. I mean, I can only speak about the goat stew and the chicken stew, which are the dishes I have had. They were pretty good, a little better than other Dominican restaurants I have been to. I will be trying something else next time. Prices: Prices are good, considering the portions you get. Not to mention that flavors are also there.

This is an old time local favorite. Portions are enormous and prices are reasonable. Glad to still have these local joints who make your childhood dishes. Friendly people who just cooks up your favorites. Always leave satisfied.

This is the best food in Queens.I ordered a catering fo 15 people with them and it was absolutely fantastic.I order pernil,chicken,steak and rice and salad .Everyone love it. I’ll definitely order again

Their food tastes as good as it looks and they have been consistent for 10 years straight since high school. They never miss a beat. Great customer service, delicious food and unbeatable prices. They have the most authentic RD food. Especially Mondays and Thursdays when they make sancocho. Best sancocho I’ve ever had since back in Hato Mayor.

I have been coming to this place for over 10 years the food is always amazing authentic taste like your momma made it . Always crowded and sometimes the line goes all the way outside . Never disappoints and will continue to come here until the day I die because the food is that delicious .

I’m giving 5 stars because of consistency: Over 22 years of coming here and I never leave disappointed. I don’t live in Queens anymore but I’m often traveling out here to visit family, so when I’m in the mood for a filling tasteful meal, Jennifer’s is always an option. And to order pepper steak, yellow rice w/ gandules, red onion, sweet plantain, extra gravy & green hot sauce all for 10 is unbeatable (even if you have a stick). I gladly tipped 2. The chicken soup is really good too. If you get a large (12) which comes with a small white rice, it’s almost a meal by itself. As for atmosphere, it’s all about food at Jennifer’s so you won’t get ambience; what you get is tight quarters (if there’s eight people inside, it’s cramped and challenging to navigate. There’s also a lot of online order pickups. Jennifer’s is the kind of spot where you have to speak up and act like a local, not a tourist. Staff is extremely friendly. I was surprised when the guy who took my order remembered me ordering a week ago. There is a small counter area with about five barstools, if you want to eat right away. Getting a seat to eat is luck of the draw and since it can get busy, the plates from previous customers may not get removed right away, same for counter and floor. The reason I don’t factor this into rating is because eat in customers are not the target audience. It’s intended to be standing room only, cop & go. Again, it’s the consistency for me—Jennifer’s has delivered good food and great prices for AT LEAST two decades plus and that is deserving of an overall rating, even if there are some individual areas that aren’t perfect.

My Titi Delilah recommended it, It’s good. Good people. I saved a bee; they always follow me even in winter. They even tried to find a paper but I thought fast ripped the paper....there you go. Bees especially aren’t supposed to be killed. If they go the world goes remember that.

Its fast and friendly. I had today a litlle snack 2 empanadas and a hot coffee perfect combination and mostly for this weather. The most important of the food it has good seasonings and is full of meat. You won't regret it
