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!“

“I order the The Rib Combo and boy them Ribs were great sides need a little work but as good as it gets. I give it 8.9“

“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.“

“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 tasting burgers eat well“

“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 😉“

“Good spot for the family!“

“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!“

“This was my first time at this particular restaurant. What I will tell everyone is the food was great as well as the service. I ordered the my sunshine burger (veggie) with the mixed fries (regular &sweet potatoes). Needless to say I was unable to eat the entire burger. Try this place for yourself.“

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

“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!“

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

“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 🍔🤌“

“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“

“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“

“Out of this world burger..“

“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 .“

“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 eat out a lot and I must say this place is by far the best place in all of queens. Like no joke from the service to the food this place is amazing. The manager was so polite and made me such an amazing burger I was shocked when he brought it to my table.
The one thing I realized that not a lot of restaurants can maintain is cleanliness but this restaurant is by far the most clean keep up the great work can’t wait to come back again!“

“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.“

“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!”“

“Great execution; juicy smash burger, crispy fries. The dining area is immaculate inside and the staff is friendly. Super quick service but clearly made to order. I ordered my burger well done and edges were pleasantly crisped. No fountain soda, only a limited variety of cans. I definitely recommend!“

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

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

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

“Great local spot with awesome burgers!!!“

“I’ve been in the restaurant industry for 6 years and have eaten at countless places, and rarely am I ever impressed. However this place blew me away. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful to the point I kept eating way after I was full. The service was also incredible and the staff was super sweet! The prices were also great. I’m unfortunately from NC but i would drive all the way back to eat from here again.“

“🍔🍔🍔THE BEST SO FRESH AND DELICIOUS“

“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..“

“Best burger and I love the Manhattan dogs“

“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“

“The truffle fries were to die for and the burger was just the right size and delish!“

“Bareburger is one of my favorite burger spots! Their grass-fed beef burgers are incredible and I love that they truly cater to every dietary need. Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan you name it, it’s all clearly listed on the menu, making it easy for everyone to find something delicious. The sweet potato fries are always perfectly cooked and so tasty. On top of that, the service is amazing. Sadia, in particular, is incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about making sure customers leave happy. I highly recommend Bareburger for anyone looking for a delicious, inclusive, and welcoming burger experience.“

“Good tasty fresh to order friendly staff and clean place and nice for outdoor eating“

“Work nearby, staff is friendly, a great spot to hang out & chill after & enjoy some delicious fresh hot chicken (their regular chicken w the sweet chili or garlic sauce on the side and their fries are the best, their honey soy garlic wings are tasty as well, but a bit on the sweeter side) AND FRIES ARE ALWAYS THE BEST, yummy everytime“

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

“Will be a returning customer“
