50 Best Burger Restaurants near Kew Gardens Hills

“I only got the crispity crunch. But I’m telling you that sandwich was unreal top notch top top notch! Also Ilan helped me really nice guy! Definitely recommend this place! From the likes of that sandwich I’d be confident in anything on the menu! Thank you smash house queens“

“The best burger I have had in years. You can visit this spot.“

“very great food. my kids were happy watching the TV! KEPT them behaved. i.ll be backed for sure“

“I had a great experience at Smashburger. The food was delicious the burgers were juicy flavorful, and cooked just right and the fries were perfectly crispy. The service was also excellent Stacy was friendly, welcoming, and she recommended the jalapeño burger it was a really enjoyable meal, and I'd definitely come back again for both the great food and service.“

“Love this place! If you miss the old NYC bar scene and vibe. This is the place. Staff is super friendly and considerate. And the food is amazing.bottomless brunch, Plus kitchen open till 2am! That is a rarity nowadays. Please support this business and local.“

“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!“

“Omg... these burgers are out of the control.
Wow that's all I have to say ... my sons told me you have to try this. I was like, okay.
I didn't think it was going to be as good as it is.... this place is a must, the fries are ridiculous“

“Great burgers! Sweet potato fries! Great beer options!“

“just ate at they're bronx location and was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time lol ended getting a 2nd burger, fries and a nutter butter shake. was awesome! new favorite burger spot 💯“

“I had previously left a simple 5 star review of this place but I deleted to add a new one because I’ve now had many smashburgers around NYC and this has got to be my favorite by a long shot. If it wasn’t such a trek to get here without a car from my place I would be here 4+ times a week. It’s always super fresh. I always judge a place on the burger sauce too and this one is def my favorite I’ve found in NYC so far. The people are always nice. Burgers have always come out fast. There’s only thing … I wish they had cheddar cheese. I can’t get on the American cheese hype. But im an odd one. I also wish they had a location in the Bronx 😉“

“Great late night place to grab a bite.“

“Okay first of all Mashallah 😍. I was born in the generation of Halalbee’s. First off, I got my order quickly! The man I spoke with had a mask on, and the restaurant was perfectly COVID compliant. The food?! AMAZING. Perfectly priced for the quality of what you’re getting. Definitely have the Double Decker with the Maple Beef Bacon! The Panko Chicken Nuggets were crispy, and fresh. The Truffle Fries were seasoned beautifully! Easily one of the most satisfying meals I’ve had in a long time. Excellent portions! I’d love to shake the owner’s hand, but that will have to wait until social distancing is behind us! I’m definitely bringing all my friends, and recommending this spot to my coworkers! No food photo cause I legit inhaled my meal!“

“The street adjacent to this restaurant is a literal Fortnite lobby. I swear I passed Tung Tung Tung Sahur crossing the street. The thing about this restaurant is that it is inspired by Thai street food and you can tell they did the distressed tiles to make it seem lived in. But that vibe is offset by a super Brooklyn-y merch section and pricing. Not that i’m complaining. The smash burger and crab fried rice (wym a crab fried this rice??) were delicious! The fried rice particularly spiked my LDL levels that’s why it tasted so good but if your cholesterol is high then have 911 on speed dial. It comes with a spoon of palpitations (yuzu miso butter) on the side. My mouth is watering

“Boeuf & Bun is a casual burger spot in Brooklyn known for creative and flavorful burgers. The food is generally good, with juicy patties and interesting toppings, and the menu has a mix of classic and more unique options.

The atmosphere is simple and relaxed, more focused on food than design or experience. Service is usually decent but can be inconsistent when busy.

It’s a solid place for a quick burger meal, but not something very special or memorable as a dining experience.“

“I had an amazing experience at Golden K Burgers. Golden K Burgers must be one of the best burger places I have eaten at. Firstly, Golden K Burger has such a good party vibe! It is a great place for not just burgers, but also partying!!! The burgers were amazing. We asked for recommendations from the staff, and she suggested The Classic American, The A1, The Farmhouse, and The Bulogoi Burger. Somehow, we ordered all 4, and unfortunately, I never tasted The Classic American. I could say otherwise for the rest of the burgers. The A1 Burger was an amazing burger, the mushroom flavor stood out, and it had a great saucy flavor. The meat was very juicy and soft. The Bulgogi Burger is not as special, it just tastes like marinated beef, and nothing else. The Bulgogi Burger is not worth the money. The Farmhouse was amazing! It had a recognizable smokey flavor, with the crunchy onion, it became a juicy, smokey, crunchy burger! It was my favorite one, and you HAVE to try it! The french fries were very crunchy and delicious, and the meat to bun ratio was perfect! Even though the whole place was busy, the waiters were super kind and helpful. The whole place was clean, and their sofas felt amazing. Their meals come out faster than expected, and they even have an outdoor area for parties, even though you have to reserve it. Speaking of reserving, you HAVE to reserve a seat, online or by calling. We were very lucky, the place was not as packed and I got a seat in less than 10 minutes, but other times, I cannot say the same. Reserving does not take a lot of time, and can save you a lot of time inside the restaurant since it is packed!!! The inside of the restaurant also feels very cramped due to the small space and the number of customers, so it might get uncomfortable. The bottles are also… weird. For some reason, when we got 2 soda drinks from the glass bottles, there was residue on the rim of the bottle, even though it was freshly opened, I suggest drinking from straws! Overall, I love this place, it really deserves a high score on Google Maps. I highly recommend it as one of THE BEST burger places in New York!“

“Great food n environment rocks“

“Food is delicious, crew’s are friendly.“

“Great family owned business and it was built by Tap King. The tap lines for the beers are always clean and the beers and food are great.“

“This place has decent smash burger compared to the competitors around bayside, flushing, and fresh meadows.

The only critique I have is the double smash burger could be less salty and the burger is a bit dry on the inside (but too dry to the point it makes you want to drink water). Also the wait was a bit long (30min)“

“I finally tried 7th Street Burger and WOW. It was SO good and tasted incredibly fresh. The burger was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and had that classic smashburger vibe with crispy edges and soft buns. Everything tasted hot off the grill 🤤

We didn’t have to wait at all (which was amazing), but just a heads up — seating is pretty limited. It’s definitely more of a quick, casual spot rather than somewhere you sit and hang for a long time.

Also, the young lady at the counter was super polite and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. Great food and good service? Love that.

10/10 would go back 🍔🤌“

“Donovan’s Pub is owned by 2 Woodside gentlemen. The staff is amazing friendly welcoming and knowledgeable. The food is absolutely delicious and great portions. They have the Best Burger in NYC. It’s the best burger I have ever had. They have awesome live music every weekend on their brand new stage. Their lineup of musicians is the best around. I’ve been going there for 50+ years and I highly recommend Donovan’s Pub in Woodside NY.“

“One of the best burgers I’ve ever had an absolutely amazing. The staff is incredibly friendly and supportive, especially Xavier. They do offer a free sauce in exchange for a review, but I’m writing this purely because of how great the burger and service were. Totally worth it.“

“The staff were super nice and into the holiday spirit i love it. I was unsure on what i wanted to eat and the person at the cashier was super helpful and patient with me. I got my food pretty quick. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was clean and full of that holiday spirit. I will be coming back.“

“I love this place. The Brooklynite's Smoothie is the best“

“My first time having the impossible burger here today and it was the best decision I made . The tots had magnificent sauce that came with it and i recommend having the wuu sauce . This will be a regular forme starting today , the service here was definitely one to remember shout outs to Scott !!!!“

“Excellent food and service“

“Delicious burger, cozy vibes, and service that can’t be beat.

On the recommendation of our server, Tom, we ordered the sunchokes for an appetizer and cheeseburger and risotto for mains. Favorite bite of the night were the sunchokes with fresh parm and pepper sauce. The cheeseburger and risotto were also outstanding and generously portioned. For dessert, our server recommended an unforgettable parsnip sponge cake with a decadent heap of cream cheese buttercream. The knowledgeable and friendly service made the dining experience warm and welcoming. I’ll be back!“

“Flat Out was so good!! The best smash burger evaaa highly recommended 10/10“

“Out of this world burger..“

“I noticed Smashburger recently went through a rebranding, so I decided to give it another shot. We had some not-so-great experiences at this location years ago, which kept us from coming back—but after seeing the updated menu featured by YouTuber King Schratz, we figured it was worth trying again. I’m glad we did, because it did not disappoint.

The food and service were both excellent and fast, and the restaurant itself was clean and welcoming. The staff was friendly across the board, and Ashley at the register really stood out—she gave great recommendations and helped us choose some items.

Our order included the BBQ Bacon Burger, Smash Fries, Smash Tots, a chili cheese big hot dog, and milkshakes. Everything came out quickly, and the team even brought the food to our table. The Smash Fries and Tots were delicious , with a flavorful garlic, herb, and olive oil seasoning. The burgers were large, juicy, and had that perfect crispy crust you want from a smash burger.

The milkshakes were also a highlight. Made with Häagen-Dazs ice cream, they were rich but still easy to drink. The only downside is that the caramel flavor has been discontinued. I really hope they bring it back because it was a favorite.

Overall, this visit completely changed my impression of this location. Definitely worth checking out.“

“Good Ramen 🍜 and environment“

“My daughter recently ate at this establishment. Upon leaving the restaurant after having a delicious meal, she suddenly saw the manager chasing her down the block with her watch. She had accidentally left the watch on the table. the honesty and effort was very much appreciated .“

“It’s so clean here, I even posted it on TikTok. The man at the front counter was super helpful and the prices are worth it! They even have combo meals for certain items like the hot dog combo which was amazing, it came with hot dog, fries and a soda! It’s sanitary compared to other places. Definitely 10/10 recommendation. They don’t play with the food when it comes to here. They have plant based options if you don’t eat meat and even gluten free options. EDIT: I forgot to add, it’s also HALAL“

“I couldn’t get a picture of anyone’s food since we all dug in right away but the food here is amazing! We had their Birria tacos, a steak meal and a steak fajitas meal—chef’s kiss! They were very kind, welcoming and family oriented here. The place is small, I will say, it’s way smaller than I expected but nonetheless, we were quickly seated and the music was good the entire time. This was a memorable experience , thank you!“

“One of the best burgers I have ever had. Walked into restaurant / store and was a trip back to a real butcher shop !! Amazing cuts of meats and lunch menu. Staff was great, service was clean and fast, got exactly what I ordered. The chocolate shake was a real good add on to my burger and fries !!“

“They cater to your request. The menu is deep with options and the chicken is always fresh. Now as far as the gyro is concerned the combo over rice is on spot. Even if you want it over salad its good. I recommend it if you're up on Jerome Ave by Gunhill road....“

“Wonderful little spot. The food was delicious and the staff very attentive and professional. There aren't many spots in the area where the menu is full of variety especially breakfast. Their egg white omelette is delicious and their fresh coffee must try.
Be prepared to wait the line is long.“

“Really enjoyed the food here and thought the prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. One thing that stood out was how quickly everything was prepared — the food came out almost immediately, which made the experience really convenient without sacrificing freshness. Everything tasted flavorful, hot, and satisfying, especially for a quick stop. The only small issue was that it was a little difficult to hear the employee speaking because she was very quiet and the plexiglass made communication harder. Aside from that, the service was still polite and the overall experience was smooth. The place felt organized, efficient, and easy to stop by when you want something quick but still good quality. Definitely a spot I’d return to again.“

“So glad we stopped by!! The rest of the family was opting for fast food but I saw this place on Yelp and wanted to check it out. It’s small but the service was super fast even though the place was full. Food was delish and so fresh - we got burgers, fries, a quesadilla that had good seasoning on the chicken - it wasn’t a typical bland chicken quesadilla. And the kids liked the “Bag o’ lemonade!”“

“I spoke with the owner after an issue he was very professional, and this is my follow up.

He suggested the chicken tenders and it was very fresh, I also saw a couple order the fish and it was fried to order —it looked so good. Honestly I’m very grateful the owner was able to make it right. Will be coming back again!

The sauces are also really good, and they have my favorite bbq sauce on hand, try their special sauce!“

“I love this place! Hamburgers and milkshakes are perfect, definitely the best video game bar in Brooklyn!“

“I had the Giant TIKKA MASALA CHICKEN CHEESESTEAK and it was absolutely delicious! Every bite had a great combination of flavors that blended perfectly together. It had just the right amount of spice—flavorful with a nice kick, but not overpowering. When I tell you it's fire meaning it tastes amazing trust me you won't regret it!

I also want to recognize Ankit for the outstanding customer service. He was very patient while taking my order over the phone, answered all of my questions, and made the entire experience pleasant. He was genuinely kind, caring, and professional. Great food paired with excellent customer service is what keeps customers coming back. I highly recommend this place, and I’ll definitely be ordering again!“

“Good food with some old school Nintendo at the tables! My kids loved it.“

“A nice, relaxing and calm atmosphere! I appreciated finding this halal option in LIC. The smashburger and fries were delicious- I really enjoyed how fresh everything tasted. The staff is very kind. Every order is made fresh to order, so it does take some time. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a bite in the area.“

“Absolutely loved everything I ordered. Quick and tasty!“

“I came in here on a rainy day and the music was really good. I ordered the salmon burger and it lived up to my expectations very delicious, the salmon was thinner than I anticipated but nonetheless it was good. This space has a lot to offer in terms of drinks and very affordable.“

“This place is freaking amazing. I had just went to a fancy viral-ish sit down dinner spot a couple nights before, and ordered some falafel, dips, chicken platter situation. Very very tasty. Fast forward to present, hungry, need something in the area. Falafel bites comes along, or rather I come to it, carried by fate. Turns out date wanted to teach me a lesson about value, since this spot completely destroyed the fancy spot at a fraction of the price and fanfare. Falafel, baba, hummus, chicken platter, rice pudding, all among the best I've ever had. And I've had a lot. The owner was so attentive and so nice, she came over to chat as we were finishing up and was quite proud of the food there. So had great reason to be. If you're hungry and you've got 10 bucks on you, I don't think you can really get better than this. Hell if you had 100 bucks on you and the ability to warp anywhere in the city, you might be better off declining and just walking into falafel bites. Place is nuts good.“

“Only one word, EXCELENT . We really appreciated that they open a site in our neighborhood , the food is great, the price is accesible and the manner of the employers is really out of question so good.“

“Great burger and fries, fast delivery. One of the best burgers ever.“
