“ This is a really nice little place with traditional counter service. The menu is classic Americana done expertly. Great burgers and killer fries. My favorite so far is the grilled cheese and tomato on French bread. Yum! They have a full service bar and a small stage in the back. This place is steeped in the history of early Astoria and it’s a good read about the role they played. I also enjoy the fact that it’s just far enough off the downtown cluster (a mere two blocks), that a line out the door for a seat is rare. Don’t miss this place if you’re searching downtown for a bite to eat when it’s crowded! ”
“ UPDATED 3/16/2025: got here early, almost empty (unbelievable to have no wait!). The service was impeccable!!! Corned beef hash was filled with meat & the pigs 'n blanket was perfect. This place is a gem & community staple. Always a great way to start the day. UPDATED 9/2024: booth seemed a lot less wobbly & and the Denver Omelet was frigging DELICIOUS!!! Original 2023 review: Always a solid choice for breakfast. I just wish the booths weren't so wobbly that the person behind you can move the back cushion like a kid kicking your seat in a plane. ”
“ OK, first, there are many places in Astoria that serve a good to great breakfast. Plenty of places. However, the Labor Temple serves "the best breakfast in town", and that's a fact. Besides the great food, friendly service, and affordable prices, there is the history of the place. The men and women of the labor movement made Astoria, indeed the nation a decent place to work and live. Sit a while in the Labor Temple, enjoy a good honest meal, and remember our labor unions proud stories. ”
