What People Are Saying About Creek & The Cave

Featured Review

The Scene – Restaurant on top and bar on bottom, this bi-level spot is a pioneer in Long Island City nightlife. Situated at the spit-out of the Manhattan Bridge, it attracts some word-of-mouth island-ites, though hip locals already living in the neighborhood make the majority. Fashionably attired, the chatty young crowd chooses between a cozy blue-walled and banqueted restaurant, and the cavernous drinking den down a steep set of stairs. – – The Draw – Descend into a multiroomed cave, where a turn of the head reveals another area--the bar, then a hall with pool and…

Editor's Tips

Save Money:
Between 3pm and 7pm Tuesday through Friday, get $3 well drinks and $2-$3 beers, as well as 2 for 1 margaritas.
Know Before You Go:
Don't think you can skirt waits on weekends by going early--a dinnertime crowd arrives for popular Cal-Mex cuisine and begins the scene.
When to Go:
Call ahead to check out the schedule of live bands.

Mmm love the pork nachos

by DKH1983

If you haven't tried the pork nachos at The Creek and The Cave, get your butt over there. Pairs wonderfully with a Turbo Dog or a Magic Hat #9, these are a few of my favorite things. Cheap, good food and drinks and tons of crazy comedy.

Best Mojito Ever!

by jujubee1993

Go downstairs to the bar on a Friday night. Sherri (not sure about spelling) is the bartender and she is the best. She makes the most delicious mojitos I have ever tasted. It's so good I can't drink them anywhere else. And the food is pretty good too, plus the portions are generous. Some parts of the downstairs seem to be a work in progress when it comes to the decor, but that isn't something that should deter anyone. Overall I think it's well worth the short trip into Queens.

  • Pros: bartender, mojitos, food, ambiance, the cat
  • Cons: nothing major

Ironic named Mexican restaurant lives up to its name

by GoAheadMan

This recent fascination with digestive tea cleanse products is a total waste of money. Most tea cleanses consist of a three week program designed to get the results you need. Here's a three step program on how you can save time and money with the Creek and the Cave diet. Results may vary based upon how you order.

EAT IN:

1) Order anything from the menu

2) Eat it

3) Run for the restroom

-This method can have you cleansed in no time. You'll enjoy the ambiance of their decorative facilities. Give an hour for eating and the same for seating (not a table)

TAKE OUT:

1) Order anything from the menu

2) Eat it. *Warning* DO NOT EAT IN YOUR CAR

3) See step 3 above

-You won't get the same kind of help from your personal bacterial germs as you will from their frequently used toilet seats, but you might finish a Times crossword puzzle without interruption.

DELIVERY:

1) Call in your order for delivery

2) Wait an hour longer than you were told for delivery time.

3) Regret your soggy order, but get faster results. No chewing involved.

NOT CONVINCED!!! - See what celebrity customers are saying -

Ro O'Donnell - "I had two orders and never made it to the restroom. But i got results, sweetie!. Thank you Creek in the Cave."

Pat Saj - "I was so damed up. Not anymore. I was making vowels like never before"

Paul Hog- "There are few places in North America I've found a creek in a cave? Well, mate, i found one in Long Island City, Queens. Before I knew it, my bloody breeches had breached"

  • Pros: Good food
  • Cons: Bad delivery time
