50 Best Burger Restaurants near Oakland Gardens

“Best chicken sandwhiches and burgers in the neighborhood. Love the sliders with the sauce and the holy burger. Have ordered takeout from here probably twice a month if not more for the last 2 years or so. Service is also great, always quick and kind. Packaged neatly.

The wings are also good and I like the seasoned fries - medium is the perfect portion. My boyfriend loves the double dog and the beef sliders.“

“I am fairly new to the neighborhood, my husband and I decided to try out our new local diner (this was in July). We really enjoy this restaurant and so does our little one, this has become our go to diner. My daughter gets so excited every time we go, she starts kicking her feet and says hi and bye to the workers along with the other patrons. I normally order the same meal for myself and my daughter and it comes out the same every time! Delish! They are very accommodating every time I bring her, she’s 1 years old and already has her very first favorite restaurant. Thank you to the staff for always being kind and accommodating!“

“Outstanding service. My food was ready for lunchtime.“

“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.“

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

“This is a bonafide American Burger and Fries establishment. They've got a simple menu, executed expertly. Fastfood chains these days forgot the magic that was cooking with beef tallow. The burger and fries here hit the spot just right, and you can enjoy your food outside in the small public seating area where there are sometimes events like performing artists going on!“

“great tasting burgers eat well“

“Good Ramen 🍜 and environment“

“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 💯“

“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....“

“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 😉“

“Good spot for the family!“

“The food and service here are amazing. I can confidently say that I’ve never had a bad experience coming here. The food is great, the drinks are great, and everything is reasonably priced.

I highly recommend the huevos con chorizo if you come to brunch here. Shout out to the waitress and bartender that were serving me & my wife during the Norway vs England game. They were very attentive and friendly while we were watching the games (didn’t catch their names unfortunately).“

“So happy to find a place near us that offers Gluten Free options for breaded chicken and French fries!! As the parent of a child with celiac it's amazing to find a place that is aware of cross contamination and has a dedicated GF fryer!“

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

“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!“

“Buena atención pedí antes y ahora mi chico y yo somos clientes fijos Thanks ?“

“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.“

“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!“

“TGI Fridays offers a fun and welcoming atmosphere with a diverse menu that has something for everyone. The food is flavorful, the portions are generous, and the staff is friendly and attentive. It’s a great spot for casual dining, family gatherings, or enjoying appetizers and drinks with friends.“

“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 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“

“This is a semi new spot in Queens, but they have them all over the City. You can eat in or take it to go. Limited menu but the burgers are good anytime of the day. I love that it is on a potato bun!
They have an impossible option...“

“The food was delicious and made fresh and the staff was so friendly and attentive. My son who has autism loves to talk to people and he was so happy to show off his hulk toy and the staff was so friendly and patient with him. I will definitely come back here again. The place was also very clean.“

“Fresh meadows location is great! Food is good and Jesse (our server) was amazing! Really nice vibe and was very friendly! She deserves recognition, especially after keeping jolly after a 12 hour shift 😂!! Hreat server 😃“

“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.“

“OMG!!! Everyone needs to dive into the flavor of Cookerz Blend, one of Queens hidden gem on 217-84 Hempstead Ave. From the moment you walk in, you're not just a guest, you are family!!! The warm welcome from both staff and fellow diners sets the stage for an unforgettable experience. I was like, "why is everyone clapping?" Prepare your taste buds for a rollercoaster ride of deliciousness! One visit was all it took for me to fall head over heels for their mouth watering menu. Whether you're craving oxtails, irresistible jerk chicken, or hmmmmm... theeeee honey-glazed salmon that's seasoned to perfection, Cookerz Blend delivers every time! Ha, there's more, you should taste their rasta pasta, it's so divine... heavenly! Oh yes, the fried chicken wings that practically melt off the bone with each bite. oh, oh, oh, and let's not forget about the pepper steak and the curried goat - juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor. Even if you fancy yourself a kitchen whiz like myself, Cookers Blend culinary magic will keep you coming back for more. They kept pulling me back in, like what the hell is their secret ingredient? With each visit, I'm not just dining out, I'm embarking on a flavor filled journey that's keeping me hooked. Don't take my word for it, experience it for yourself, trust, you'll thank me later. Prepare to become a lifetime devotee. Thanks to ALL the staff, you got a lifetime customer!“

“Great spot for burgers and chicken sandwiches! The chicken platters are absolute fire too! 5/5“

“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“

“Honestly would have preferred to gatekeep but this spot is just too good to not talk about🥹 this comfy lil spot in Oceanside is our new favorite place to get all of the best comfort food: chicken and waffles, smashburgers and fries, and of course, the halal mixed platter 🤤

Aliza at the front counter is so nice and welcoming and the food was so fresh, delicious, and affordable! Totally recommend this spot if you’re in the area or if you’re just looking to eat something delicious!! 100/10 stars!! ⭐“

“Out of this world burger..“

“Enjoyed my Smokehouse BBQ Deluxe Burger today. The coffee was nice and strong too. The server, Lindsay was hospitable.“

“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 .“

“The chicken is exceptionally tender and succulent, complemented by the delectable seasoned fries. The customer service provided was impeccable, characterized by its politeness and friendliness. I highly recommend chicken is back which has become a favorite among my family and friends.“

“The ribs were spot on delicious including. The sauces. Highly recommended“

“really good. The chicken was very juicy and flavorful. I finished everything before I even remembered to take a photo.

The staff were also very friendly and nice. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely come back 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!”“

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

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

“All the food is quality and very tasty .From the pasta dishes to the chicken ,meatballs, eggplant ,lasagna,shrimp dishes. .Everything is made on premise and homemade.The specialty pizzas and slices at the counter are outstanding. Plus they will make you ant variation of pizza you like even if its not the menu. highly recommend this establishment. Family run and totally respectful and pleasant at the counter.“

“Great local spot with awesome burgers!!!“

“Today I visited Amir Halal Restaurant and was seriously impressed. The place was clean and well-maintained, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. I ordered the mild spicy crispy chicken sandwich and it was fantastic, super crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and just the right amount of heat. The flavor was bold but balanced, making it one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve had in a while. The fries were freshly seasoned, hot, and crispy also not your average side! They paired perfectly with the sandwich and really completed the meal. The food came out fresh, and the service was quick and friendly. If you're looking for quality halal comfort food with great flavor, I definitely recommend checking this place out. I'll definitely be coming back for more!“

“Delicious 😋 turkey burger 🍔 and sweet potato 🍠 fries 🍟 and always pleasant staff 😍“

“boomer was the sweetest waiter ever whenever i needed something he was right there,he made us feel very welcome and talked to us like a friend.He fixed any problems we had and didn’t have any problem with it he was such a good waiter“

“I absolutely love this place! The food and drinks are AMAZING (Philly cheesesteak Bao Buns are a must, as is the Henny Colada Slushie), the music is on point and the staff is attentive! It’s a guaranteed good time, whether you’re going for a few drinks and good music or to watch a game/fight night. I can’t rave about this place and staff (shout out to the manager Daisy, who is amazing!) enough!!“

“darbar have very great service and prices, we always cater fried chicken from their for big events and even their other dishes such as fried rice. low mein and chicken sandwiches, lamb burgers are very great, their food is well flavored and fresh..“

“Cheesecake is one of New York City's most iconic desserts, and no visit to NYC feels complete without a stop at Junior's. Known around the world for its legendary cheesecakes, this classic bakery has been serving up rich, creamy slices for decades and has become a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists.

We decided to keep it simple and try two classics: the Original Cheesecake and the Key Lime Pie. The Original Cheesecake was exactly what you hope for from a New York-style cheesecake—smooth, dense, and incredibly creamy without being overly sweet. The signature sponge cake crust added a unique touch that set it apart from other cheesecakes we've had.

The Key Lime Pie was equally impressive. It had the perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors, with a silky filling and a light whipped cream topping that complemented the citrusy lime flavor beautifully. It was refreshing, rich, and the perfect dessert after a day of exploring the city.

Whether you're a cheesecake lover or simply looking to experience a true New York food institution, Junior's lives up to its reputation. The desserts are delicious, the portions are generous, and it's easy to see why this spot is considered one of the city's most famous sweet destinations.“

“excelent colombian food thanks“
