50 Best Burger Restaurants near Cliffside Park

“I'm very impressed. I believe this is the best burger chain in the area. The burger concepts are tasty, and they don't go cheap on the meat. You can really taste the quality. Also, I enjoyed the friendly attitude of the father and son (presumably) who operate the place. A friendly attitude and good service is a great compliment to great food. For this reason, I am leaving a 5 star review. If you're looking for a good burger, I would come here.“

“There were some stains on our table and we had to ask for it to be cleaned so it might put off some people but other than that everything was good, especially their double smash burger. The meat was perfectly cooked and the sauce is amazing, making the burger really juicy.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ COMPTON’S is the kind of neighborhood gem you want everyone to know about — but secretly hope stays just yours. The sandwiches are massive, flavor‑packed, and clearly made with care. From the turkey hero with lime aioli to the Jaclyn with eggplant, every bite hits that perfect bread‑to‑filling ratio. The Reuben is a must‑try, and their chop cheese deserves all the hype.

What really sets COMPTON’S apart is the vibe: the owners make you feel welcome the second you walk in, and the service is as good as the food. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite at the counter or settling in at one of the few tables, you’ll leave full and happy.“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Royale. First it has an awesome bar and restaurant indoors and the space outdoors is beautifully decorated. I have celiac disease and they had the most delicious gluten free nachos (made on site) ever! They were perfect. I was so happy I could have them and they were excellent! Great atmosphere and food! Highly recommend when in the Village.“

“Stayed in NYC Hell’s Kitchen for 6 months for work and tried many different burger joint and this is by far the best i have had during my stay. The juiciest tastiest smash patties, best buns, incredible sauce. Friendly staff and atmosphere! Thank you Cubby’s!“

“Came in from out of town for vacation, knew I had to go here . I was not disappointed. The burger was delicious, the ingredients were fresh, and the staff was friendly and fast. I Had a party of 7 people with me and saw a line out the door. Within seconds an employee saw my party and came out and told me that line was for counter seating and there was seating in the back for semi large parties. Seating is first come first serve. Was seated in 15 minutes. Saw ( GM ) walk outside for a break. Just overall a cool experience. I got a double OK onion burger and a smash burger with fries . Unfortunately the soda machine was broken. But the lemonade turned out fantastic. I wish we had one in Columbus.“

“Great food, good service, good vibe!“

“If you are celiac and want a good burger in NYC, this is the place for you. Food here is amazing. We came here twice during our visit, takeout the first time, and ate at the restaurant the second.
I would suggest you to eat here, quality is high and hot food is always better, but this place is so good that even when it's cold at home is worth it. Very good burger, amazing popcorn chicken, sweet potato fries are a gem.“

“I live in basically the middle of nowhere. Most food I eat is relegated to home cooking or traveling several towns over if I ever want to eat out. I'm visiting the city for a weekend. Oh my god I didn't know we were at this level. Genuinely some of the greatest plant meat food I've ever had. It's honestly a crime against humanity I have to go back and live in a place where this doesn't exist. Updated from previous review on 2026-03-01“

“Exceptional burgers. Crispy fries. Friendly staff. Best combination!“

“First time I went the sandwiches were really good.

Got the tropical island chicken sandwich which was juicy, and their burgers are juicy too.

The strawberry milkshake was pretty good as well.

However second time I went the sandwich wasn't as good as the first time.

Still recommend, its a nice burger place in the area.“

“My wife and I visited Handcraft Burgers and Brews for my birthday this past weekend. As soon as my wife opened the menu she knew that I was going to have to try the burger of the month which was a peanut butter and grape jelly topped hamburger with jalapenos, bacon and cheese. Admittedly I have never had peanut butter and jelly on a burger before but I figured I would try something new and see what all of the hype was about. Turns out, I loved it! Every bite was so flavorful and completely made my birthday lunch a worthwhile venture! We also tried the tater tots, because who doesn't love a good tater tot. We could have chosen from multiple dipping sauces but we decided to go with the garlic aioli and I am glad we did. I dipped each of my tater tots in the sauce and there was plenty for both of us to share. We were helped by Vanessa at the restaurant and she was very accommodating when I was having trouble using a coupon that I had for my birthday. All in all this was a wonderful choice for my birthday lunch and when we are in the area again I would definitely stop by and perhaps try the latest burger of the month along with some tater tots and garlic aioli dipping sauce of course!“

“Doughnuts are super yummy! And the milkshakes are soooo good!“

“I had a great burger and fries for lunch here today, and Maria was a wonderful server! Highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back the next time I come to the city to see a show.“

“The burgers were absolutely delicious. However the staff seemed a little bit disgruntled today. Maybe it was just a bad day but it kind of affected me. I'll give it another shot though. Once again the hamburgers are very good french fries tasty atmosphere was wonderful.“

“Gotham Burger was DELICIOUS. TT is the best and her food is soooo yummmmmy i love the burgers and i finished one in about 2 minutes 🍔you should go to gotham burger because it is delicious and look for the little squirrel on the wall he is one of the best parts BTW his name is bandito“

“Burger Mania is a great halal burger spot in Midtown Manhattan, just a few blocks away from Times Square. If you’re looking for a quick late-night bite or a solid halal burger option while exploring the city, this place definitely hits the spot. The restaurant has a small classic NYC burger joint feel with bright colors, a lively atmosphere, and a menu packed with burgers, wings, fries, and loaded options.

We went with the Manic Burger, Chicken Burger, and wings, and everything was delicious. The Manic Burger was the standout — a thick smashed-style beef patty with crispy edges, melted cheese, and a soft toasted bun that came together perfectly. The fries were crispy, well seasoned, and paired great with the burger. The Chicken Burger was huge, crispy, juicy, and loaded with flavor, especially with the melted cheese on top. We also tried the wings, and they were excellent with a good amount of sauce and flavor options to choose from.

One thing that really stands out about this place is that the food tastes fresh and made to order. Portions were generous, prices were reasonable for Manhattan, and the halal options make it an easy choice for anyone visiting Midtown. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you want burgers and wings near Times Square.“

“We got enough food to share for 3 people instead of individually ordering burgers, but I'd like to try the burgers one day. I'm not someone who normally goes to vegetarian restaurants but I'm seriously rethinking that position!
The decadent, buttery curry paired with a perfectly fluffy biscuit was the standout dish.“

“Visiting SMASHED NYC was a very enjoyable and satisfying experience. The place has a modern, casual, and energetic atmosphere that fits perfectly with a fast-casual food concept. The service was quick and efficient, and the staff maintained a friendly and welcoming attitude throughout the visit. The food stood out for its bold flavors and fresh preparation, especially the burgers, which were well-cooked and flavorful. Despite being a busy spot, everything felt organized and smooth, making the overall experience pleasant and stress-free. It is a great place for a quick, tasty meal in a lively city environment, and definitely worth visiting for burger lovers.“

“Reservations highly recommended since it’s a small spot. Every dish was honestly great, so excited to go back to try their other stuff, but the beef longganisa and ube ko achar I would def order again in a heartbeat. The sauce for the gnocchi and the skewer were 10/10. Also, their Green Leaf drink with pandan - SO GOOD.

My favorite desserts are literally silvanas and cheese ice cream, so it’s def their own version of these classic Filipino desserts, but satisfied with how they interpreted them.

Can’t wait to come back!“

“great tasting burgers eat well“

“Had a double smash with fries. 100 percent recommended. this place is awesome.“

“So I just had iftaar with their tikka paratha roll that I had got last Sunday evening. It just tasted so good even though I ate it cold straight from the fridge. 😊 It didn't taste as good when I had ordered it on site. Then, without me even asking for anything, they remade it and gave it to me to take it home with me even though I had told them I was full. 😊😊 The largest portions I have ever seen anywhere, good food, clean, best interior and decor, excellent service. I have yet to see a BETTER or even equally nice place in NYC. 🤍 Jo baat hay. Food makes/breaks the mood.“
