50 Best Burger Restaurants near Rockaway Beach

“We need our burger fix every time we go to Rockaway! Burgers, hotdogs, fries, ice cream, and drinks are fantastic! Try the Hardbody, aka double cheeseburger! You won't be disappointed! I went yesterday 9/5/26, and their burgers, fries, and drinks were still spot on! The Hardbody was delicious! The beach juice drink is crazy good, I could easily knock back 3! Keep it up Ripper's!“

“Best burgers in Brooklyn.“

“The food was delicious, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. The tomato salad was so fresh and flavorful, and the Short ribs Massaman was definitely one of the highlights—so rich and delicious!

We came on a Saturday evening and the restaurant was pretty busy, but the service was still warm, attentive, and friendly. Everyone made sure we were taken care of even during the rush, which we really appreciated. Great food, great atmosphere, and wonderful service. We’ll definitely be back to try more dishes!“

“The food was great the service fantastic. Our server Hunter was very well verse and made great suggestions. The other staff was also helpful and always refilled the water and kept checking if we needed anything. I would recommend this restaurant and hopefully will return. I'm not a fan but the Carrot Cake was awesome!“

“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!“

“My food was delicious. I had the 60/40 and fries. The space is cozy and positive. It’s perfect for takeout, but there are a few seats and a counter available inside. Ordering is simple; just use the tablet on the wall. I can’t wait to try new things when I’m in town again! 🍔❤ It was a nice difference compared to what I usually find in Phoenix, AZ. The attendant was very polite and patient with me. I was extremely jet-lagged.“

“this would be a great restaurant outside of nyc but after eating here makes sense why it was almost empty at 7:30 on a friday night. first, for some reason the AC was off on a summer night, it was so hot! at one point our server kind of went AWOL for like ten minutes after we said we needed a second to decide but i guess it happens and we were able to get someone else’s attention. A few notes on the food: the fluke crudo has a great sauce but you must slice the fish, you cannot just serve a raw filet of fish. the sauce doesn’t get to it and it is hard to slice raw fish while eating. cut the fish! the chicken entree was good but it was overcooked which shouldn’t be an issue with heavily breaded chicken. the poached hake was not cooked enough. the sticky rice dessert was really just rice pudding but was outstanding and the drink selection was very good.“

“Third time here Amazing food fresh vegetables great taste. Once you have been here you will never get enough of it .....etc favorite dish is the chicken over rice fresh taste best dessert back lava ......if your are in the area of of myrtle avenue come here you will love this place“

“I went to order some food because I saw they closed at 1:30Am I arrived and they said they only taking orders on line because it’s already 12:45am I made the order not realizing they had a another location in queens the guy said it was fine and just made the order for me, and he made it so well and such a good amount. I called the store to thank him when I got home and saw my order but no answer. This is what you call customer service 👏🏾“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“OG Fan of Smash House Queens but tnite they really hooked it up. Our 6 year old son has many allergies to the point where he unfortunately has never had the chance to eat at a restaurant. Turns out Smash House Queens has many items created specifically allergy free, and when we went out tnite as family the staff went out of their way to make a special deep fryer run to avoid cross-contamination. Super impressive service alongside terrific Food!“

“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.“

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

“Vegan and GF options with tons of flavor. I’m not even vegan but highly encourage people to give their options a try. They help me easily choose something good for my health and the animals while still getting full and satisfied. Love having them here“

“went to Brooklyn Beef N Cheese today 3/8/24 with my son. Meet Jessie and he hooked us up. My son had pulled pork sandwich, I had a classic cheese steak sandwich. Both were amazing!! Got an order of fries and Tots which also really good. Found my new sandwich shop for burgers, roast beef, cheese steaks and pulled pork in Brooklyn. Brooklyn Beef N Cheese is better than the other OG places that have been around for decades. Great job Jessie and crew“

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

“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 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.“

“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“

“very good food after a long time...amazing experience“

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

“The single cheeseburger was simple but tasty. The bun was soft with a slight sweetness, and the meat was fresh — it didn’t feel too heavy since it wasn’t overloaded. The fries were like any other fries, but still fresh. High-top counter seating available, clean and well-lit.“

“Check out my IG @lawyer.traveler.dreamer for more footage of our experience. David’s Brisket House in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, is a real piece of NYC food history. The shop has been around for more than 50 years and still serves some of the best sandwiches in the city. We ordered the famous “3 The Hard Way” to try all three classics: pastrami, brisket, and corned beef. Each one was stacked high on rye, and the flavors were incredible. The brisket had that perfect smoky edge, and the pastrami was full of spice and tenderness. You can feel the legacy in every bite. It’s casual, local, and full of character. If you want an authentic deli experience in Brooklyn, this is the spot to visit.“

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

“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 .“

“We arrived on a flight to JFK and wanted dinner. This is perfectly on the way from or to the airport. We ordered food via our mobile device on the way. It was ready as we arrived. The food was absolutely scrumptious, delicious beyond what we even thought it would be, everything was perfect. I highly recommend this place whether you're just on the way to or back from the airport or whether you are in Queens and need some delicious kosher food. This place gets five stars all around.“

“Great place, Great food, Great staff! Stopped in briefly a few weeks ago for a quick meal to take home and my little cousins have been clamoring for me return ever since. Highly recommend the Hawaiian burger if you like mixing savory and sweet, and while I only had a taste, their garlic cilantro sauce is great on fries. The staff was friendly and personable and really make you feel welcome. Overall a great down-to-earth spot for a casual hang out!“

“Delicious fresh burgers, hot crispy french fries. Everything I was hoping for. I am very impressed by the quality of the food. This is the place…“

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

“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!“

“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!”“

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

“We had breakfast there. The food is really good. The staffs is very friendly.“

“Smashburger is overall amazing! I tolerated the frustrating journey to show up because I really like the quality reasonably priced food and environment. I especially like this location particularly because of Beth and Ania. They always make me smile and their service goes above and beyond expectations. Thanks Smashburger team!“

“Best smash burger ever!!!“

“Went to grab a quick bite to eat and came across Hangar 11. The food was great. We had wings and a chicken wrap. Delicious and fresh. The frozen drinks were strong and tasty. They had sports on the TV's and we were cool and comfortable sitting in the enclosed patio area. There was seating inside as well near the big bar. Friendly staff and great service.“

“The food is absolutely delicious. I had the bleu cheese burger. The best I’ve ever had. No exaggeration. Can’t wait to go back.“

“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..“

“French fries are seasoned to greatness! Rice is nice and tangy! The chicken, ohh the chicken… It is fabulous, the chicken is spicy, sour, flavorful, and soft. It’s like curry with lemon and peppers and hot sauce on it. Fabulous. 10/10!!“

“Walk in seating very quickly wasn’t too busy.
Ordered through the tablet very easy and quick.
Ordered a hamburger and onion rings.
The portions are nice and big just onion rings came too much in the actual portion i would dial it down a bit because you have to be really hungry to eat it all.
Service was good , very clean place highly recommend a good well sitting burger.“

“Very cool environment. Love the Bear on the wall and the fact that I can write my name on the chalkboard on the sides. The food is amazing especially the Suvy sandwich, the Woo burger and the garlic parm chicken. The Only spot in Brooklyn where you can get some actual southern style kool aid very nice and sweet.“

“I love their shrimp tacos 🌮. Friendly excellent customer service 🥰“

“Went in one Saturday morning to enjoy our breakfast. We were quickly seated and Sophia did an amazing job serving us, our food arrived quickly and as we ordered. She was very accommodating to our requests and made sure our table got what it needed when we asked for anything. Clean environment and friendly staff. Always a good experience coming here.“

“We ordered assorted gyros, souvlaki, tacos and baklava. The staff was friendly and the service was wonderful. Over all decent and accommodating to the greek culture with a twist of spanish. Only thing I would change is to add oragano salt and pepper to the gyros and don't blend the tzatziki makes it a bit pasty in texture but flavor was 7/10. The baklava less refrigerated time and more syrup not leaving the tops so dry. Would visit again.“

“Unique drinks and sandwiches, great prices“

“Lemon Herb Chicken is my favorite 😋“

“My friend and I hosted our birthday party here on a Saturday evening and it was amazing. Everyone had a blast, the drinks were amazing, and the staff is super helpful. They even let my friend DJ our party! We will definitely keep Vacations in mind for our next event.“
