50 Best Burger Restaurants near Sunnyside

“Good food! Matthew the bartender makes great drinks!“

“This place is underrated in the neighborhood. The menu has been refreshed but the food continues to be delicious and consistent. My family ordered the half duck special, mussels, French onion soup, and the lobster ravioli.

The service was a little slow when we visited but they were still very nice. The restaurant was a bit empty, so I highly recommend folks to stop by and give them a try.“

“The best Frozen margaritas an Buffalo wings ❤️“

“First time eating in here (and I believe my first time at any Shake Shack) I have been meaning to come in, and then I saw an ad online for the Reese’s Pieces Shake. I didn’t order that this time but I had fries before that were good.

It took a little while for my order to be done, but they were nice enough to bring it to me, so that was good. It tasted great and it wasn’t too pricey. I’ll probably come back on occasion as a treat. Welcome to the neighborhood!“

“Every time I go there is always a beautiful experience“

“I stopped by the White Castle in Sunnyside on Queens Boulevard, and it delivered exactly what you would expect from this classic fast-food chain. It’s a compact and convenient location, especially useful if you’re in the area and want something quick, with the added bonus of being open 24 hours for late-night cravings or early-morning bites.
The menu is the familiar White Castle lineup, with the small square sliders being the main highlight. They come out soft, warm, and steamed in that signature style that gives them their unique texture and taste. When freshly made, they’re especially satisfying and pair well with fries, chicken rings, or one of the combo meals if you want something more filling. It’s simple comfort food that is consistent with what people expect from the brand.

This location offers both dine-in and drive-thru service, which makes it flexible depending on how you want to order. The drive-thru is very convenient, although it can get backed up during peak hours due to the steady flow of customers. Inside, the setup is basic and focused on speed and efficiency rather than atmosphere, which fits the fast-food style perfectly.

One of the biggest advantages of this spot is its 24-hour availability, making it a reliable option at almost any time of day.

Whether it’s late at night or early in the morning, it tends to stay busy with people looking for a quick meal. Service is generally fast, and the staff handle a constant stream of orders, so things move along even during rush periods.

The seating area is small and practical, more suited for quick meals than long stays. Most customers either grab their food to go or eat briefly before heading out, which matches the fast-paced environment of the location.

Small Store parking, otherwise parking in the surrounding area can sometimes be a challenge, especially during busier times of the day, so many people prefer the drive-thru or walking in from nearby streets or transit stops. Despite that, the location is very accessible and works well for locals and passersby alike.

Overall, the White Castle in Sunnyside is a dependable and straightforward option if you’re looking for classic sliders or a quick bite any time of day. It focuses on speed, convenience, and consistency, making it a solid choice for fast food in the neighborhood.“

“4 stars for price. But please improve the reuben. Get some mustard and sauerkraut. The meat's OK for a deli reuben. The dressing tastes more like tartar sauce. Serve it on rye. As far as a reuben goes, it was 2 stars, but didn't taste bad, just very different. Price is great, was edible, so 4 stars. But seriously that reuben can be so much better“

“chill vibe. great burgers. super cocktails. good service“

“New York-35th Amazing staff! Mia C was on top of everything. She was thoughtful and fast. She was excited for my son who was turning 10. So much food and make sure you get a shake.“

“Great food n environment rocks“

“Stayed in NYC Hell’s Kitchen for 6 months for work and tried many different burger joint and this is by far the best i have had during my stay. The juiciest tastiest smash patties, best buns, incredible sauce. Friendly staff and atmosphere! Thank you Cubby’s!“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Royale. First it has an awesome bar and restaurant indoors and the space outdoors is beautifully decorated. I have celiac disease and they had the most delicious gluten free nachos (made on site) ever! They were perfect. I was so happy I could have them and they were excellent! Great atmosphere and food! Highly recommend when in the Village.“

“The burgers are exactly what you would want. But the fries are PERFECT!!! Imagine the best McDonald's fry you ever ate. Quick, and the service is amazing. Also where can you have such a perfect Americana meal in soho for less? Absolutely GO HERE!“

“Really good quality of pastrami and cornbeef“

“Very Friendly service. Staff were great and assisted with menu choices. Most of all the Pizza was Delicious 😋“

“Uno de los mejores Bares del Mundo“

“Had à great brunch at PJ and so appreciate our fabulous server Fabiola! She was GREAT!!!!“

“Most delicious burger and great service!“

“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!“

“Great food, good service, good vibe!“

“I really enjoyed this place. It has some retro charm. It even had a Photos booth and the food was good. The desserts were amazing. Largest milkshake I’ve ever seen in person and the staff was really nice and friendly and Alfredo the manager was really good guy.“

“The momos were so delicious, almost like a ravioli texture.
We also had the fried cauliflower, saag burrata side and duck for main dish. For dessert we ordered silvana, which is so delicate with many layers of flavors: airy meringue, coffee cream, pistachios.
Would love to go back and try all the different dishes. Absolutely worth it. Food and service were great.“

“If you are celiac and want a good burger in NYC, this is the place for you. Food here is amazing. We came here twice during our visit, takeout the first time, and ate at the restaurant the second.
I would suggest you to eat here, quality is high and hot food is always better, but this place is so good that even when it's cold at home is worth it. Very good burger, amazing popcorn chicken, sweet potato fries are a gem.“

“Love the brooklyn stak burger. Top tier fries.

Clean facility and bathroom, good seating.

My only complaint is that it would be great if they could revisit how the menu is split. Wish that it weren't such an upcharge to get cheese fries, since you can't get them as part of the drink + fries combo.“

“So I just had iftaar with their tikka paratha roll that I had got last Sunday evening. It just tasted so good even though I ate it cold straight from the fridge. 😊 It didn't taste as good when I had ordered it on site. Then, without me even asking for anything, they remade it and gave it to me to take it home with me even though I had told them I was full. 😊😊 The largest portions I have ever seen anywhere, good food, clean, best interior and decor, excellent service. I have yet to see a BETTER or even equally nice place in NYC. 🤍 Jo baat hay. Food makes/breaks the mood.“

“Exceptional burgers. Crispy fries. Friendly staff. Best combination!“

“Amazing food and service.“

“Diner vibe. Friendly, helpful servers. Very few tables available at 8pm on a Monday.

We had the burnt broccoli, the TFT (fried tofu) and the Superiority Burger. The highlight for us was the delicious burger. Tasted like a real hamburger at a diner or fast food place. The tofu sandwich was also great. Tangy and crispy. The broccoli was a little too smoky for our palette.

They gave us some Hawaiian Punch and Labneh flavored gelato to try for dessert. Very nice.

Would absolutely come again and try some of the specials.“

“Food was so yummy, interior was gorgeous and staff was amazing. I literally turned to my husband and told him “this is the kinda service I like” thoughtful friendly warm bartenders who spark convo, and answer every question. Such a good atmosphere and good music. Every song I was like…. Omg…. Love that song. I didn’t know what to expect, I try to avoid spots with bars or interiors that are overly beautiful when I’m hangry lol. I find the food usually doesn’t hit, since some places typically focus more on drinks, but I was pleasantly surprised.

The food was so thoughtfully made. I had the best BLT, small details in prep, like perfectly shredded lettuce and sliced tomato’s really can make or break a sandwich. My husband loved his burger and the fries were so crispy and good. Typical city prices, and the atmosphere makes you wanna stay awhile so it’s worth it to me. Beautiful during the day but next time im gonna come later in the day I can enjoy the deep rich atmosphere they carefully curated. So so beautiful.“

“My wife and I visited Handcraft Burgers and Brews for my birthday this past weekend. As soon as my wife opened the menu she knew that I was going to have to try the burger of the month which was a peanut butter and grape jelly topped hamburger with jalapenos, bacon and cheese. Admittedly I have never had peanut butter and jelly on a burger before but I figured I would try something new and see what all of the hype was about. Turns out, I loved it! Every bite was so flavorful and completely made my birthday lunch a worthwhile venture! We also tried the tater tots, because who doesn't love a good tater tot. We could have chosen from multiple dipping sauces but we decided to go with the garlic aioli and I am glad we did. I dipped each of my tater tots in the sauce and there was plenty for both of us to share. We were helped by Vanessa at the restaurant and she was very accommodating when I was having trouble using a coupon that I had for my birthday. All in all this was a wonderful choice for my birthday lunch and when we are in the area again I would definitely stop by and perhaps try the latest burger of the month along with some tater tots and garlic aioli dipping sauce of course!“

“Doughnuts are super yummy! And the milkshakes are soooo good!“

“I had a great burger and fries for lunch here today, and Maria was a wonderful server! Highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back the next time I come to the city to see a show.“

“nice service,,🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍💪💪🤳🤳🤳🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🤝“

“I was there this past weekend. It was my third time there and i have to say food was exceptional like always. Service was great. Everyone greeted me when i walked in and my server Genesis was great at describing the Menu and had a great attitude like always.
I Will definitely come back“

“Such a great place! Solid menu, excellent craft drinks, friendly staff. We both had beef filet that was cooked to our exact specifications. I had a nice girly drink which was an enhanced Pina Colada. (Required extreme self control to stop at one.) All the desserts sounded great, and I really enjoyed my bread pudding (the very generous serving size was a surprise). You will really be pleased with your dining experience at The Henry!“

“So Devious My Mouth Is Feels So Lucky Too Taste“

“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.“

“Gotham Burger was DELICIOUS. TT is the best and her food is soooo yummmmmy i love the burgers and i finished one in about 2 minutes 🍔you should go to gotham burger because it is delicious and look for the little squirrel on the wall he is one of the best parts BTW his name is bandito“

“Céntrico, local agradable con esa estética fast food de toda la vida, desde la decoración hasta la presentación. Personal amable. Te saca del apuro y es sabroso. Trabajan con beyond o similar, pero aún así, me sorprendió para bien. Updated from previous review on 2026-09-06“

“I had a fantastic experience here recently. Everything was served in classic baskets lined with printed newsprint paper, which added such a fun and authentic touch to the meal.

The burger was cooked perfectly with a beautiful sear and plenty of melted cheese. The fries were golden and crisp, making them the ideal side. I will definitely be back soon.“

“Top class place, friendly staff and great food and savage craic! Well worth a visit if you find your self in need of a pint and a shot!“

“great tasting burgers eat well“

“By far the top cocktail bar in Hell’s Kitchen. I’ve been here for drinks with friends, corporate events, as well as date nights. There are multiple floors and plenty of seating area. Music is not loud so you can have a good conversation. My favorite spot is the martini room. Each area feels special and is separated enough to make it feel like you’re having your own private moment and not in a crowded bar in the middle of the city. They do a great job at making drinks and everything I’ve had, including the food has been top notch.“

“The best burger I have had in years. You can visit this spot.“

“Absolutely loved Emily in the West Village! We came for their famous burger everyone talks about, and it definitely lived up to the hype — absolutely fantastic and packed with flavor! We also tried one of their pizzas, which was incredible too. Our waiter was attentive and the whole experience was great. Definitely worth a visit for both the burger AND the pizza!“
