After a baseball game on a Sunday morning, we passed by Burger City on the way home and thought we would give it a try. Ambience: no frills burgers to go, very reminiscent of old fashioned roadside burger stands. As one other reviewer pointed out, similar in concept to All American Burger. There is very limited seating as this seems most to go. Food: we ordered Quarter Pounder with Cheese - the name immediately creates a mental comparison to McDonalds. A quarter pound beef patty served on a potato roll, garnished with chopped onions, pickle and ketchup. It was as basic a burger as you could get, but sometimes, less is better. The potato roll was soft and slightly sweet. The beef was tender and moist. 4/5 Onion Rings - battered fried sliced rings off onions, unlike the formed rings of onion paste at some other places.. 4/5 Hot Dog - a thick hot dog minus any toppings. To make it a chili dog, I had to order a side of chill for $1.95. 3/5 TL/DR: a good no frills old fashioned burger joint where they cook the burger right in front of you. read more

LOVED!!!! I loved everything about Burger City! I have to say I passed it countless times and just never thought to eat there until a few weeks ago. I was out with my daughters fiancé and we were deciding on a place to eat for lunch. He picked Burger City and so I'm happy he did! I didn't even realize the place he was thinking of until we pulled up! It's a cute hamburger place and seating had an enclosure so on a really cold day, which it was, eating inside was no problem for us! Ordering was easy and quick. I have to say this is a VERY popular place to eat as literally every 5-10 minutes the door opened with more hungry customers! The burgers were delicious! I mean, I don't usually finish my burger but this was really SO delicious. Made perfectly, the bun was really tasty too! My daughters fiancé is a big guy and ordered two of the Big City burgers which is a double cheeseburger with bacon, onions and ketchup! He said it was one of the best he's had! I love All American in Massapequa but now I have to admit that Burger City I love even more! The fries are seasoned, hot and crispy! One order was big enough for us to share and there was left over! We were too full for anything else but I saw they make milkshakes. I will absolutely be returning here and will be saving room to try one. I will also be trying their onion rings! Burger City is a must if you are in the area and in the mood for a great delicious burger, I mean really delicious!! read more

Burger city is our favorite burger spot around! Nothing compares! Fresh burgers, awesome shakes and let's not forget the sweet potato tots (my favorite). Don't sleep on this place!! They are awesome! read more

We have driven by here so many times but never stopped in to try it. We finally did and it didn't disappoint. It has a few seats inside and bench tables outside for dining. We picked a few burgers, fries, shakes and sweet potato tots (which are so good). The burgers were tasty, the fries were crispy and the shakes yummy. Service was friendly and efficient. There is plenty of parking available. Worth a visit! read more

It was okay, not the best, not the worst - pricy too. Had a cheeseburger and a strawberry shake, came out to over $8 - All American in Massapequa would have been about $6 for the same order and imho, they're burger is better. Let's see how they do when shake shack opens up next door. read more

I ate the burger too fast to take a photo. Fast food. Cheap date idea, $3.25 for a hamburger is truly unbeatable. 2 cheeseburgers, a hamburger, onion rings, and a chocolate shake for under $25. Service was quick compared to how crowded it was on a Sunday evening. read more

Best cheeseburger around, and the strawberry shake and fries are amazing too! The service is relatively fast for how crowded it always is.

BC is the popular burger joint on Hempstead Tpk. Lots of others but this one is busiest. Burger City has set up in a white square single user food service retail spot - surrounded by a few nearby strip centers just east of the Meadowbrook Pkwy. Very similar styled store and menu as Massapequa's famous All American. Its easy grab and go limited burger menu is popular. Lots of cars streaming in.. some sitting outside at tables, others at a few inside counters and more to go. The burger was verrry similar to AA with a little more onion, cheese and a non seeded potato bun. Good but maybe a smidge smaller. Only small or large drinks - so Large because the small is super tiny. Fries look great - very crispy - One size fries are actually large in comparison - and dredged in some type of crispy flour or something. Not bad but would share next time. Flavor more BK than AA. Though - Beat friend felt the fries were best around. Onion rings are the real deal here and worth ordering. beat friend thinks skimpy.. but still shareable. Clean organized store, friendly efficient crew of at least 10 people, and a nice retro drive in vibe. read more

Love Burger City. This place is always poppin with customers and with good reason. The burgers here are delicious, simple, and inexpensive. The fries and shakes are not too shabby either. Forget shake shack or any other gourmet burgers. I much prefer a burger from here. There is always a line but it goes very quick. The wait for your food is about 5 minutes. Burger City is very much a well oiled machine. Friendly customer service. There are several bar seats (about 8-10) inside and a few tables outside. Definitely a no frills kind of place. I could see why it's supposedly Long Island's number one burger joint. read more

Burger city is is a burger/hotdog/french fries spot in east Meadow well worth a trip for your next meal. The service is wonderful; you walk up to a window and place your order and it's made to order. no pre-froze and pre-fabricated burgers like this chain that's recently been constructed next door. The prices are great shakes are great. I'm avoid the place next-door and go here. You'll be much happier. read more

This place satisfied our burger craving and everything was so cheap. If youre on a budget this is the place to go. We also ordered their fries and onion rings. Also ask for their sauce made the food taste even better. There was a line but it moved pretty fast. Great staff. Will def be back. read more

Good afternoon, I have just learned that Shake shack is opening next to Burger City. I will say this on behalf of Burger City. I have tried Shake shack and by no means is their burger better than Burger city. I am not saying this lightly. I am also disappointed that a big chain company would be allowed to build in the same lot as the iconic Burger City that opened in December of 2015. I strongly believe that Burger City will out last the big chain store like Shake shack. People not willing to get out of the car for good food and only willing to use the Drive-through are not interested in quality. Disclosure: I have not been paid by Burger City to say this. read more

Burger City was... a choice. The burger was very meh -- honestly gave strong McDonald's cheeseburger energy, minus the nostalgia and plus the wait. The fries were crispy, I'll give them that, but the onion rings were so heavily battered and greasy they felt like a commitment. The sauce? Super mid. Forgettable. Was it horrible? No. Was it bomb? Absolutely not. Worth standing in line for? Hard no. Would I tell a friend to go? Nope. Would I go back? Also no. Am I a hater? Never. I'm a burger connoisseur -- and this just didn't deliver. Burger City is fine if your expectations are low and your standards are flexible. Mine were not. read more

I've been eating LI burgers for 60 years. We're talking going back to the Golden Age of Long Island when Wetson's, Burger N Shake, and Hojo's were Long Islanders only options. People don't realize how valuable local places like Burger City and All-American are until they're gone. I can't believe the arrogance of Shake Shack opening up right next door to BC. Everything I've tried here is awesome and Shake Shack always disappoints as a sloppy mess. So rally around a hometown gem and send the Corp invaders packing. read more

I finally figured out the secret recipe here!!! Took awhile but I got it. CRACK! It's gotta be, CRACK!!! Haha! All jokes aside, My family is obsessed! No, we don't know what crack is like, but I assume it's like eating a burger from Burger City. Lol A Boss burger specifically. Like WHAT???! It's soooo good! I don't get the bacon on it, but that's just a personal preference. They really have a knack here for pleasing the palette without breaking the bank. We drive 35 minutes out of the way for this goodness. Prices are old school for great burgers, shakes, onion rings, knishes (yes, random but so good) and sweet potato tots. We somehow haven't had fries with our burgers yet, so can't comment on the golden delicious sticks at this juncture. Anyways, just drive there. I wouldn't be surprised if this place turns into the next super successful burger chain. Bon Appetite! read more

Stumbled on this adorable old-school burger spot and couldn't resist! The vibe and old fashioned aesthetics are super charming and the line was out the door right after we got in. Burgers are simple and tasty (pickles, ketchup, onions only, they do not carry lettuce or tomato) the chicken sandwich was crispy and delicious, and the fries were perfection--crispy and salted just right. Onion rings were light and crunchy, sweet potato tots had a nice sweetness (though the honey mustard is very sweet). The knish was a fun surprise--crispy, flavorful, and huge! Prices are fair, seating is picnic-style, and overall just a fun, delicious stop. Can't wait to come back! read more

There's a reason why this place got voted Best Burger for the last 3 years. Right now the shopping center it's in is under construction, but don't let that stop you. It's a tiny place with a window to order, some seats, and a window to pick up. They also have a few tables outside. They have a small menu a la Shake Shack, but much better. We always ask for extra pickles and they do not disappoint. Their fries are perfectly crunchy and the orders are pretty big. Besides ketchup and mustard, they have the most delicious honey mustard perfect for fry dipping or adding to your burger. The staff is always excellent. You will have to wait a little for your order to be made unless you call in advance, but aren't the best things worth waiting for? read more

I can't believe it's been almost 10 years since I've been here. I'm so excited they had knishes on the menu. It's been years since I had it. I was able to feed 4 people for under 40. The inside may seem intimidating because everyone is waiting but it clears out super face. I appreciate the quick customer service. Its not loud at this location. There's a cute little seating area for you to sit in. I also love how fast the the service is. Definitely will come back more. The prices didn't change as much read more

These burgers are magical. Get the Boss Burger!!! There are onion rings inside. The cheeseburger was classic and so good. Fries were crunchy and big. No frills, just good ol' burgers and fries. P.S. Strawberry shake was the only thing I didn't care for, would pass on that next time. read more

Onion rings, cheese burger, hot dog. All very good . Side chili for dog was very good. Will be back

I can definitely see why this place has been receiving awards as the best burger for the past three years. this is a great burger spot!!!!!!!!. The food is very tasty and delicious. The burgers definitely feel super fresh. The french fries are crispy outside and soft inside. chicken nuggets had a good taste though. Even though it was packed, Service was really fast. We waited around six minutes. The location was very clean we will definitely come back. read more

Burgers better than and tastier than McDonald's or any fast food joint. My personal taste prefers big, thick juicy burgers and this is not the place for that, but for a quick bite, these will do. Service was decently fast. Did feel a little rushed trying to take in the menu and order but I walked in unprepared. Plenty of seating and place looks pretty clean. Recommend for a fast food burger. read more

Burger City - Quarterpounder w/ Cheese - American Near Me - East Meadow, New York

Best Burger on LI for the past 3 straight years? Count me in. This place was a small stand alone building in the parking lot of a shopping strip. Few seating (mostly outdoors). It was busy on a Thursday night but the workers worked very efficiently. I ordered 3 regular burgers with the fixins. The burgers tasted very fresh (not frozen meat) and reminded me of All-American (similar menu as well). Yes, I ate all 3 burgers- they were quite small. Next time I will order double patties :) Would definitely go back for a quick, unpretentious meal that doesn't break the bank. read more

Burger City was excellent from start to finish. If you're craving a true classic-style hamburger, this is the place to go. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly with that timeless diner-style taste. The fries were hot, crispy, and the perfect side, while the shake was thick, creamy, and absolutely delicious. Great quality food, friendly service, and a fun classic burger experience. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. read more

love this cute burger spot! one of the best burgers in LI. i'll always get the classic cheeseburger and add extra pickles with a side of cheese fries. i've tried the milkshakes and they're good, a nice treat to the meal. i'm not sure what there sauce is called, maybe city sauce or special sauce but you must. get it! i always ask for 2-3 lol as for seating, they have some indoor seating & outdoor as well. i've seen people sit but i always do pick up. read more

Was in the area, which was a good excuse to stop by with the family. Delicious burgers (5) for all plus fries & rings, don't forget drinks all around. We ordered too much (big eyes, didn't need 2 fries & 2 rings). They were very patient, putting up with first timers with no idea what to get Left very satisfied, all for just over $60, which would have been $50 if we weren't such gavones. Will definitely return! read more

Burger City is definitely a throwback to the old burger places where you order in their storefront and eat out in the parking lot. Even wehn it was almost closed, there was still quite a bit of people ordering, but the line moves fast! I found the place to pretty affordable and still found it to be tasty! read more

Now that we legally had to come back to NYC, we checked out Burger city. The burgers are small, but that's okay, don't want a full belly for the courtroom. It seems like a sister location to All American Burger, I think I know which one we'll stick with. read more

The best burgers and great that we can always eat outside. The portions for the fries are very large and always crispy.

its not the same, very bad customer service and salty frozen burgers . Location is decently clean but the place hasnt been the same in years. read more

This place is the definition of a dive. There is a long line that moves quick, you put in your order and then move aside. There's some tables and fun spinny chairs inside and outside seating. The burgers are super simple, seasoned with salt and pepper, and grilled on the flat top. They don't use any proprietary meats for the burgers so they're really plain; however, that may be the attraction. Highlighting the flavor of the meat by keeping it so simple is definitely a solid move. We ordered two double boss burgers, they were so packed and heavy with sauce and toppings. A really great first bite and you can feel your arteries clogging but it's all good because flavor is everything. The cheese burger was perfectly cooked with nice melty cheese. They have a variety of sauces that are all surprisingly good with the fries. Speaking of fries, don't skimp on the fries. They are some of the best fries I've ever had in my life. They are perfectly crispy, thicker and larger than those other "favorite"fries . For those not into russet potatoes, they have sweet potato tater tots that were very crispy and delicious. Over all, good quality of food, ambiance was perfect for our fireworks display. I would for sure come back again. Between ordering the food and taking my first bite, about 7 minutes, I don't know about you, but that was impressively fast and there was a line out the door. It was a very memorable experience, thanks Burger City - Onto dessert ;) read more

While the burgers have gotten smaller, they are still very flavorful. I got a double cheeseburger with a side of fries. Delicious little treat. I didnt get full, but its ok.

Wow! It was our 1st time here and one of our most memorable foodie experiences ever. We ordered a boss burger (single), 3 orders of chicken nuggets ( 9 chicken nuggets/order), a cheeseburger, 2 orders of fries, onion rings, 3 hot dogs, a large root beer, a chocolate shake, a stawberry shake. Amazing burgers! Its awesome that their beef patties are never frozen! Definitely deserves my yummylicious stamp of approval! Two thumbs up from me! read more

We came here to scope out Long Island's best burger since 2023. This tiny "fast-food" place is situated in the middle of a parking lot but was definitely occupied with plenty of people also there to experience the hype. We ordered a bit of everything, and had to try the burger! Food was piping hot, and had plenty of fresh toppings but the burger itself was small and thin, leaving more to be desired. Best thing we ordered were the hot, hot fries and the Texas toast grilled cheese. Would recommend! I'd say it's worth the trip to say you've been there and tried it. The burgers were good but the best? TBD. read more

Just started coming to Burger City a month ago & we are hooked. There is a reason why there is a mob of people waiting for their orders. Their chicken sandwiches are the best & we love their tangy homemade sauce. Can't wait to try other items on the menu. Shake Shack doesn't stand a chance moving next door. Not a good move, think it will drive more business to Burger City with better food & more reasonable prices. read more

Ambiance is a small building with amazing people inside it from the staff to the customers. It's always packed and orders fly out the door quicker than mass transit users on the NYC rails. The service is always solid, the food is perfect every time and it's clear why the location and food is loved by so many. The burgers are cooked well, full of flavor and juicy. The onion rings are the best in the area, only Wayback can go toe to toe with them. Crazy to see Shake Shack moving in next door, but not worried for Burger City the food is a zillion times better than the shack franchise and they will probably send the shack packing. Best advice get there early, the lines grow fast but they pump out food quickly and delicious. Small businesses like Burger City deserve all the support. read more

For a place that calls themselves "Burger City", the burgers were disappointing to say the least. I ordered two double cheeseburgers and they didn't even have lettuce. The patties were pretty good but the size of the burgers were underwhelming. The bread was like clay and the American cheese tasted like something you'd find in a school cafeteria. Burger 4/10. Fries were crispy and hot which was good and the dipping sauce (i believe called city sauce) had good flavor tasted like canes sauce a bit. Fries/Sauce 8/10. Chocolate Milkshake was very thick and a bit warm, didn't taste like it was made with any added milk it just tasted like melted chocolate ice cream that turned warm. Milkshake 2/10. Prices were reasonable. Overall 5/10 was definitely underwhelming. read more

Quick service Food is very mediocre I must say. The burgers remind me of any fast food burger. The fries were good Ambiance is good for a fast take out spot read more
