50 Best Burger Restaurants near Rockaway Park

“Best smash burger ever!!!“

“Really good quality of pastrami and cornbeef“

“The food here is really delicious! I was so happy to find my favorite tarragon drink on the menu — such a rare find!

The staff is friendly and accommodating. I especially appreciate that you can call ahead, place an order for a specific time, and come in for lunch. Not every restaurant offers this, and it definitely builds trust. That’s one of the reasons I’ve become a frequent guest.

One small issue: we recently ordered different burgers for six people and asked to remove certain ingredients due to food allergies, but the burgers got mixed up.

Overall, I’m very happy with the menu, food, and service, and I’ll definitely keep coming back!“

“Came here on a date night with the wife who is Uruguayan. The provolone was a fantastic starter, reminded me of the one I had during my last visit to Uruguay. In my wife’s 2+ decades in the states I’ve never heard her rant and rave over a chivito the way she did theirs. She said and I quote “this is the best chivito she’s had since being in the USA,” so that should tell you something. I had the Uruguayan Ribeye and I left just the cutting board it came on, nothing was safe. I was hesitant about the Duck fat potatoes because it’s not something I haven’t tried, but they were perfect. The ribeye was to die for, I wanted more. Dessert was just as good too. My wife loved the flan, and I’ll take her word because all flan is bad to me. The Alfajor was so damn good. It was different than the traditional one I’m used to eating, but fantastic nonetheless. We will definitely be returning, and telling everyone we know to travel to Brooklyn to give this place a try.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Very delicious! Burgers for every taste, an excellent selection of beer, wine, and milkshakes. The meat was incredibly tender, and the caramelized onions in the burger deserve a Michelin star! Thank you for such a wonderful lunch.

A special thank you to the female bartender—fast, efficient, and professional, with a warm smile and excellent service. She made the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be back! this spot is modern and clean and friendly!“

“The best burger I’ve had. Amazing food, fantastic service. The chocolate milkshake was so delicious. We went for a late lunch, and was so impressed we went there again for dinner before we left to go home to the UK.“

“1st time ever being here. Didn't expect so much food for less than 15$! Great tasting food - I had the classic double patty smash burger + seasoned fries. Super friendly staff, and good atmosphere overall! Will definitely be visiting soon“

“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“

“First of all, when you step in it’s a vibe. Stopped here before going to Bembe. A little busy but walked in, ordered, and have my food within 10 minutes. Very limited options but I got a double cheeseburger with jalepenos and a side of fries. Yes!!! The burger was so juicy,l and flavorful. The fries we well seasoned and hot. You can watch them make the burgers while waiting so we love that!“

“Just came back from Mother's Day Brunch with my sons and husband. Food was excellent as was the service! Beet salad was so good, burgers cooked to perfection, shakshuka with merguez sausage was delicious, the white truffles pizza with poached eggs was amazing!! Thank you Wild for a 100% gluten free restaurant with 100% great food!“

“My Step-Son turned me on to this and we would go to New Paltz. It shocked me how good it was!! Been hooked since!! I was over the ‘Moon’ when Poughkeepsie opened! I am betting they will grow and grow!!“

“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.“

“I have to say, about the great customer service of the waiter who served us. He was very kind, very attentive and gave a great service. We enjoyed our meal, too!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Arrived right before closing but they still treated us like family! Food was PHENOMENAL (squid ink pasta w blue crab was chefs kiss) - drinks were on point (guavarita was yummy!) - but honestly it was a hospitality that put this place over the top. Felt like we were all cousins reuniting for some great food and drinks!“

“Last minute decision and so happy my kids wanted burgers that night! We were parked minutes from the Williamsburg bridge after coming back from NYC. Went in and it wasn’t busy and we were seated and several right away! Drinks came out minutes later. The pub has a decent menu and seating area but I can see it filing up quickly on regular days. I’d super highly recommend if you’re in the mood for American cuisine; burger and fries and drinks! Super fresh burgers and crispy fries. Grilled chicken was to die for! Let’s no forget the Mac and cheese: definitely get that too. The potato soup caught me off guard and so did the salad bc it was so yummy.“

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“The quality of coffee in this coffee shop is excellent, full-bodied and fragrant. Their selection of coffee beans is very particular, each cup of coffee can taste a unique flavor. The environment inside the store is very comfortable, the decoration is simple and warm, suitable for enjoying leisure time with friends or family. The service attitude of the staff is very friendly, warm and thoughtful, and can provide professional coffee knowledge and advice. The price is relatively reasonable and cost-effective. Overall, this coffee shop is a place worth recommending, both in terms of quality and service.“

“The burger was absolutely amazing juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right with fresh toppings that took it to the next level. Easily one of the best burgers I’ve had, and I’ll definitely be coming back for more ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“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 .“

“I loved my experience at Aita last night. Although it became busy while I was there, there was no wait for an outdoor table. The food was delicious and well worth the price. The host was so kind in getting us sad quickly. Our server I think named Baryl with orange hair not only was incredibly friendly but was extremely helpful in finding us wine that fit our tastes, taking the time to listen and pair us with drinks that fit the food and our preferences. The service and the food definitely made me want to come back again“

“The restaurant is located in the Gravesend section of Brooklyn. They prepare fast food and it is halal. Additional locations are in Brooklyn and New Jersey. They are open late hours. Several tables are available for dining in but there are no servers. Salads 🥗, burgers 🍔, sandwiches 🥪, gyros, chicken wings, nuggets and tenders, rice platters, sides and beverages are on the menu. I ordered the cheeseburger combination and fish 🐟sandwich. Both were well-prepared and tasty.“

“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…“

“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!“

“Excellent food and service. I went there tonight with my family and it was awesome The food is fresh and comes out delicious and plentiful for all of us. Our waitress “Caterina” was friendly and prompt with our food. I told her I didn’t eat fish so when my family ordered clams & sauce, she put the dish on the other end of the table and brought me a rice ball special - which was delicious l. She was very fast with replacing the empty plates and periodically asked us if we were OK. One thing I really like about this restaurant is that it is wheelchair accessible. No steps or uphill ramp- the whole place is flat. Caterina was very helpful also by helping me transfer to my seat and she put my wheelchair in a safe spot out of the way. I highly recommend this place!!!“

“Great late night place to grab a bite.“

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

“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!”“

“No matter what time of the day I come, the place is always clean, staff is always attentive, and the quality/ taste of the food is fantastic.
Always fresh!
Trey remembers me by name at this point and he’s always so attentive.
The music selection is always on point too.
Can’t recommend this location enough!“
