The Strand, Astoria Queens

We went with friends visiting from Charleston, Sc this past weekend. The Stand has been on my list of palces to visit since reading an article about it. The palce is in former Blockbuster so it is pretty pigs. Great selection of beers including a cider on draft. I had one of the bloody mary’s - the one will moonshine. Very picky and very good. In our party we had one deep fried frensh toast. It was so good, like a souffle. We had one shrimp and grits, he said it was good. Looked good to me. One fried pork belly sandwhich. It was a pretty healthy portion alongs with ptatoes.  I had the breafast burger with egg and gouda cheese on a great bun. The side of fried okra the best fried okay I’ve had. There was a brass band playing that was very solid. Good time.
