FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.qns.com AUGUST 11, 2016 • BUZZ • THE QUEENS COURIER 57 dining out JUST LIKE MOM’S BY BRADLEY HAWKS The departure of Brick Café came as a devastating shock to many. But when one door closes, another one opens. First, the northern portion of Brick Café transitioned into Halsey’s Tavern, and then the remaining portion of the space recently morphed into Mom’s Kitchen and Bar. Now they’re two distinctly separate locations, still connected at the kitchen, and we fi gured it was time to stop by and check them out. Presently, Mom’s is debuting with a soft opening daily at 5 p.m. with regular hours coming soon. With a name like Mom’s, you know you can expect some down home-style comfort cuisine. And what could be more comforting than an all-day brunch? Mac ‘n’ cheese pancakes with Cholula honey, jumbo shrimp with cheesy grits, and bacon-laced waffl es with fried chicken take the spotlight alongside a killer Tex Benedict with braised brisket, Texas toast, hollandaise and pickled jalapeños. Disco fries are upgraded to heavy metal with cheese curds and peppercorn gravy, but we recommend you sample those cheese curds all on their own—beer-battered and fried with a MOM’S KITCHEN & BAR 30-95 33rd St. Astoria, NY 11102 718-267-2735 ramekin of spicy pepper jam. In addition, who doesn’t want to grab a handful of Cracker Jack bacon? Sometimes less is more, and you can’t go wrong with the Southern-style chicken fi let with garlic aioli and pickle slaw on a toasted brioche served with plump fries. Or you can build your own breakfast, complete with sweet potato home fries. Perhaps you will simply want to stop by for a Bigmouth Shake, with throwback names reminiscent of the ‘80s. How about a Mr. Fluffl eupagus, Rainbow Bright or Strawberry Shorty? Mounded with decadent toppings like marshmallow fl uff, fruity pebbles, cupcakes and cotton candy, these confectionary concoctions could be a meal on their own.
