I grew up in Brooklyn and still work there . I have had Roll&Roaster to many times to count. I went to On A Roll tonight for the first time . I am blown away , I didn’t think it would compete with R&R but not only did it I found every item I purchased better . The roast beef I got dry on purpose with gravy and extra cheese. iOS in the side . Their roast beef dry with no added gravy stood on its own , it was extremely moist and when I ate it it actually tasted like roast beef . What I mean the taste of the beef wasn’t masked by globs of cheese and onions , I actually tasted the beef perfectly , I believe their roll is better then the competitors which allowed the flavor of the beef to be tasted perfectly , their corn fritter again was better , they were a little larger and their was no uncooked batter like I usually taste at R&R . The shrimp box was perfectly cooked , large shrimp that were extremely tasty , the cocktail sauce however wasn’t my favorite it was good but more vinegar based than horseradish which I prefer . The fries were larger circles than the other place and were cooked more crispy and more enjoyable , their cheese sauce to dip them was perfect what you would expect . All in all I find on the roll to be the winner between THEM AND ROLL N ROASTER. I can care less about the cheesy nostalgia debate . I also found it more affordable. Roll n roasted is good but OTR is better , RNR does have amazing orangeade good apple pie and clam strips . I also have eaten at John’s deli to many times , Brennan and Carr and they are both amazing but are too different to compare to OTR , they are totally different eating experiences . John’s deli has gone down hill a lot also since new owners , their roast been is so small and measly for $20 now , they even charge $4 for a medium gravy now as well other then the roast beef it’s average at best food . Brennan and Carr is amazing and totally different , everything there is top notch , it has been there over 100 years so they are doing everything perfect . But you have to be in the mood for it as it’s way different . OTR is my new all around favorite beef stop , it has a limited menu but it’s perfect , everything you get is way above average , dare I say the best

Went here for the first time and loved the roast beef. Definitely coming back soon.
The roast beef was beyond dead it was grey dead asked for roast beef med rare cheese onions double dipped it was absolutely terrible, fries were fresh and hot!!! And paired ooo so well with cold cheese sauce smh guy behind the counter could care less and i was the only one in there this is not how roll n roaster was run when i was a kid as the owner proclaims i was sooo disappointed since i like the guys videos online talked a big game but cant back it up
Response to owner, i am definitely not a R & R worker i really wanted to like your food and was rooting for you since i feel R & R fell off and is not the same, but your response is terrible maybe you should look at operations a little more and making sure standards are up to what you preach. Your GOOGLE Rreviews you only got 300+ at 4.5 stars if it was up to the standards you post why dont you have thousands of reviews honestly the grade of beef i got was a step above arbys which is the worst ive ever had in my life loon at you cameras just before 12 i was the only person in there i didnt even finish my sandwich

Atmosphere was solid, customer service was good no issues there. But the burger? Yeah nah, that wasn’t it. No pickles, and you’re charging extra for lettuce, tomato, onions that’s basic human rights for a burger. Just low-tier. That’s why it’s a one star.
