Nora's Park Bench Cafe

I love Nora's. Unassuming local place with great sandwiches and sides. My absolute favorite meal there is when they have the prime rib special (once or twice a week?). You get a HUGE cut of prime rib with potato and veg. Off hand I dont know if that's on the regular menu it was the special the last two times I went. The Irish fare is great- reminds me of dinners at Grandmas growing up.

Quiet spot in a quiet neighborhood. The food was good, the service was quick. Just what I needed.

Great place. Clean, good fast food, great service. I was there with friends for my birthday and we all had a great time! I'm coming back and I highly recommended

The food was okay. Went here right after a wake because it was across the street and convenient. We were hungry but it was just me and a friend. We ordered the chicken fingers in the buffalo sauce. The sauce was tangy and nice actually. It reminded me more of an asian zing type of sauce. The chicken was just plain. The fries were real potatoes not frozen potatoes which I liked. We also ordered a penne vodka with mozzarella. The dish was just okay. I can't say there was anything special about it. The vodka sauce was not creamy it was more liquidy. I prefer a more creamy pink option. The mozzarella was just on the plate in stringy pieces. The service was good but they did not bring out bread to us when we first got there. Other people who sat around us all got bread. We did order a "dinner type" dish so technically we should've been offered bread. The waitress was nice though. She fulfilled all of our requests. Bill for those 3 items came out to $42. We did not order drinks just sodas.

Amazing! An excellent restaurant in the heart of Marine Park!! Excellent entrees like wraps, quesadillas, great burgers. The menu is eclectic featuring Mexican food, a variety of sandwiches, BBQ, out of this world chicken salad and much more. Desserts are fabulous!! Drinks are plentiful and varied with over 8 beers on draft and more in bottles. Pretty standard bar selection with lovely ambiance. A wonderful restaurant in a neighborhood that caters to mostly locals. An excellent neighborhood place!

I recently stopped by this place, with my girlfriend, on a Thursday evening. We were in the mode for something light and not too heavy, and this place was recommended to me by my girlfriend. This is my first time coming here, while she has been here a few times before. We sat down and they brought out some bread and butter to snack on, while we decided on what to get. I had a bud light beer with my bread. Since I was in the mode for a wrap, I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and she got the buffalo chicken fingers. The meals came out fairly quick. I really enjoyed the sauce they used on both. It was like a tangy / sweet and sour buffalo sauce. It was very tasty. The wrap came with fried and a pickle, we split the fries. Overall, I was impressed and satisfied with their buffalo chicken offered here. A great spot this is for some food. Lots of other items on the menu looked great too, and I would come back to try something new next time.

This place is still a solid 3-star, even after a long hiatus.The menu has changed here and there from what I remember, and the prices are a bit stiff from your average bar and grill joint. A burger can be anywhere from $9.45 and up depending on what you want on it (comes with fries and onion rings) and for everything else, even pasta dinners and wraps are $12.00 and up. Yes, they are filling, and the portions are more than what you're paying for, but the service is really more like up to par with your local diner. You need to ask for water, ask for napkins, ask...ask...and ask some more; or ask anyone for that matter. The bar is ALWAYS hoping, so that is their cash cow; totally understandable, but seriously, it's just water in my cup - just fill it up occasionally okay? Yes, with Marine Park Funeral Home across the street, you need to gauge as to whether you should or shouldn't dine in with Nora's that night. Expect long waits and standing room only; I usually judge by how noisy it is when I call beforehand as to how long it would be for a table. Coming here last Friday with my parents, my Mom got a mozzarella burger, I got a muenster burger, and Dad got the Philly cheese steak. The total cost of dinner was $31.95; not too bad without getting any drinks. My favorite out of three, was honestly my Dad's Philly cheese steak, although it wasn't anything remotely close to what a Philly would taste like. My burger was huge, which was good, but when I asked for medium well, my first bite left drops of burger blood on my plate and into my fries. Yeah...better luck next time.

Gonna agree with the review of the person of color. Even tho they did have poc patrons when I was there, the crowd is mostly cops fdny their friends.

The receptionist was excellent, and the food and staff were phenomenal Bartenders and staff were helpful and the food was delicious would recommend a day out at Nora's

A pleasant neighborhood bar restaurant with delicious food and friendly staff. Highly recommend!
