DISRESPECTFUL BOUNCER AND DJ TOWARDS WOMEN

by markees

HORRIBLE experience.. held a party ..bouncers and DJ were very disrespectful towards my guests..used improper language and got even physical --SOME KIND OF A POWER RUSH going on in their heads..REALLY DISAPPOINTED as this was not the first time I went there and held a party.. LEFT GOOD BUSINESS- no one disrespected any of the staff serving our party-- AND THAT"S THE THANKS YOU GET AT SIDE TRACKS - JUST THOUGHT I'D SHARE THIS WITH YOU before anyone plans to do GOOD business with that place FROM HELL. You are better off paying a little more elswhere without the BULLYING OF GUESTS. BOUNCERS are there to keep you safe and DJ to play the MUSIC. HORRIBLE PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH.. BOUNCER'S NAME IS RICK AND STEVE--SPREAD THE WORD.

Drinks and Music is great.

by bullerboy

I have been there about four times this year after midnight. I have never eaten there but the music and club experience is about the best in Queens. Drinks are not very expensive and no cover. It's better than any over priced Manhattan club on a Saturday night.

Kind of a Thuggy Atmosphere

by MaryAlexandra2

If guys in black silky shirts with gold jewelry and heavy set girls in tight tight short dresses are you're kind of folks, welcome to Sidetracks. Sorta like "Jersey Shore" comes to QNZ Blvd. The food was just all right-- I'd classify it as so-so diner food, with a fairly bland menu. The service was okay. I cannot understand the place's popularity as far as the food and atmosphere is concerned. The front windows do open up, so I can see how , on nice evenings, one can sit at the windows with a drink and watch the people and traffic on Qnz Blvd, but aside from the place holds no charm.

Consistent Good Time

by DMC23

We live in Sunnyside and eat here several times a month. Because of the excellent service (Eamon is the best!) and the delicious food, we opted to have our rehearsal dinner in their private room. As always, it was delicious and we were so pleased to have Sidetrack's representing Sunnyside - our guests all had a wonderful time and were quite impressed!

Always good food and nice service

by starcounter

I eat here 3-4 times a month and always have a great meal and pleasant friendly and professtional service. The soups a great. The portions are good. Very attentive service. They raise money for lots of organizations in the area with golf outings, etc. I have never had a dish I didn't enjoy. Sadly I had to use their back room for a funeral lunch and honestly they were wonderful.
