Debate all you want about the best burger in town — this one is at the top of the list. Plus, it’s called the Royale With Cheese ! Also on site: “bacon picklebacks ” and a nice garden in the back.
We loved this place. The back patio is great and even has a cover to stay outside in the rain. They call the onion rings 'savory donuts '. We will be back for more football Sundays!
Love the Bacon Royale with Cheese ! I usually go with gruyere and then add sautéed mushrooms and onions . The fries , onion rings , and chips are all great (and great for sharing too).
Great no-frills classic American burger . Super juicy, and perfect patty and bun consistency so that it doesn't fall apart or get soggy. Onion rings among the best I've ever had.
Solid burger , but nothing spectacular, and a very bro-y vibe.
Order the Royale with cheese . Order their hand-cut fries & beer-battered onions rings . Put the fries & onion rings inside your burger before you start to eat.
Morgan at the bar is amazing. And the burgers are really tasty. This place is easy and fun. Great get away if you want to escape for a bit.
Surprised is an understatement. The best onion rings ever, and among the best chicken tenders . I had burgers for lunch , regretting now that my table mates are raving about their burgers .
Solid place to grab a beer and a burger . The meat is good, but the sauce leaves something to be desired. The fresh cut fries are the winner in my book - delicious. Nice back patio .
Classics done right: bacon cheeseburger , fries , and onion rings are all great. Also a big plus that prices are not expensive at all!
The burger lives up to the hype. It was juicy with a solid flavor. They do the burger right. Also, it's a great bar with good music
1) A perfect little backyard garden/patio. 2) A truly great burger . Great for groups , late night eats, sports on TV , and the onion rings .
Gem on Avenue C. When the weather is nice, they have a great patio in the back. Good burgers , reasonably priced. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.
Great burgers . If only all bar food were this good. Get the bacon royale! Onion rings are crispy and greasy perfection
We went here to feature them on my show "Best Sports Bar in NYC" We LOVED their burgers , onions rings , piggy backs, and SO much more!! watch it here! Read more
Like most places nearby, there's outdoor seating that's great during nice weather. It gets pretty rowdy most evenings so plan for a crowd.
Bacon cheeseburger hits the spot! Their fries taste like chips and are good. Piggy back shot is interesting... It's a pickle back with a piece of bacon . Bacon is a little too salty for the shot though
This is a pretty sweet place to have as a local. Friendly service , juicy burgers , solid liquor selection .
Not better than Black Iron. But has an outdoor garden w an TV outside to watch game. And the best onion rings in the city . Perfect football spot.
Good back patio for a divey place, and burgers and side selection is great. But the bathroom is dangerous, so hold your breath
One of the best, if not the best, burger 's I've had in the city . Awesome bartenders and great patio .
The Double Royale will satisfy any burger craving you may have. Pair with any of their fine liquors
Burgers are affordable , simple, and delicious
There's a reason everyone talks about onion rings and burgers on the patio !
Love the outdoor seating in the back! Onion rings are savory little donuts . Yum!
The burger and bacon pickleback shots are a must
Went here for a private party. Drinks were rlly strong (in a bad way!, decor was cute but wish they had the Xmas lights on. I prefer blind barber close to this place
Ask for the piggyback shot. Whiskey shot followed by. Shot of pickle juice and finished with a piece of bacon . One of a kind
Nice out? Call ahead to reserve a table in back.
Guac , Onion Rings , Truffle Fries and a Royale with cheese ! All excellent!
Burgers are outstanding, as are the fries , and the onion rings are unreal
Great burgers . fries are on the crunchier side. great back garden !
Don't bother asking your waitress what make this burger the best burger in NYC. It's a secret.
Get the grilled cheese with tomato and avocado

My friends love the burgers and onion rings . I thought it was okay but that's just a personal preference. Definitely good
Great patio area in the back. Try their Burgers . This spot could easily go under ""Best burger in Manhattan""
The burger deservedly gets all the hype, but don't sleep on the fries . Those are some top-notch spuds .
Royale with cheese and a cocktail . Great price, even better food.
Best Burger on the Island : Bacon Royale or Go home!! Awesome bartenders too & great drinks.
Best burger in the EV, Bacon Royale!! Bartender Orlando makes some awesome drinks too.
Great place to watch football outdoors. Good crowd of Patriots fans.
IMHO, the best burger in NYC. Any of them will do...medium rare and delicious.
my go-to for a great burger . get the bacon royale - long, thick slices of bacon
Awesome get Royale w/ cheese and multiple pork slaps and shots of whiskey .
The double is almost too much, just get a single and a side of fries
Great staff and a lovely Irish bar
Royale w/ cheese , bacon pickleback and garden in back - buzzfeed suggestion
