It's fine. It's akin to a Kennedy fried Chicken or something. Is it a bad burger? No, not at all. Really good proportions, run of the mill burger. That's not a bad thing. These are my favorite types of burgers. Heard a lot about this place but nothing super speck. Certainly not the best burger you'll ever have but a really solid option if you're in the area read more

Petey's Burger - Burgers Near Me - Astoria, New York

Stopped by for lunch around 2pm because I was feeling something a little more filling. I decided to get the Combo #2 which is a cheeseburger, fries, and a drink. They have different kinds of fries so I went with the cajun fries for $0.25 extra. You also get a canned drink with the meal! The burger was tender and tasty. The lettuce, tomato, onions, cheese, and Russian dressing all were great additions to the meal. The Russian dressing gave it that "Cali burger" feel and was quite refreshing with every bite. The bun, I must say, was mediocre. I wish they had heated it up or toasted it a bit. That would have elevated the flavor and quality of the whole burger, in my opinion. The cajun fries were good. They're simply regular fries showered with cajun seasoning. I loved the fact that every fry was crispy, crunchy, and great. They were really addicting and the serving of fries can easily be shared among two people. I'm definitely a fan of this place and would recommend if you're in the mood for a burger! read more

Let's be clear, I am from California and this is by no means the "in-n-out of New York". The patties are small, you'll most certainly need the double option. The meat had little to no flavor,and the burger was sloppy. If it weren't for the paper wrapping it would be falling apart. I am giving them 3 stars for the black and white milkshake, the crunchy fries, and the service which was attentive. I'll stick to shake shack in the future even if it's a few extra miles away. read more

I have eaten at Petey's multiple times and think their food is delicious BUT sometimes the food does come soggy when delivered through Seamless. It truly is hit or miss when it comes to deliveries. Well today I was on Seamless looking for a place to eat. Petey's came up and I instantly clicked on their profile. Prior to ordering I had a look at their reviews out of pure curiosity. My thought process was that if the last few reviews didn't complain about late and soggy food, I'd place my order. WELL. Not only were there multiple reviews about late and soggy food - I was really put off by a ton of their responses to customers. Most of all the response I've attached here. Who says this to a customer? You're a burger joint criticizing a customer's diet and yet you make a living off selling said unhealthy food to people. So you admit that the food made her sick? WTF. Maybe put a pin on your snarky comments and learn that your customers pay your bills. Will be finding a new burger place to order from...that doesn't send me soggy food via Seamless and doesn't disrespect their customers. read more

Petey's Burger - Seamless Review - Burgers Near Me - Astoria, New York

This place sucks burgers are horrible just grease and the fries are soggy and nasty also staff has no gloves on or anythitn touching the food like please someone notify the health dept place is filty just take w look for yourself read more

Probably the best traditional burger I've had. Better than Shake Shack and close to In-n-Out. Decently priced. Couple suggestions to make this 5 star: 1. Ask for less salt. They add too much, especially on the impossible burger 2. Fries needs to improve. Otherwise, good joint and nice people read more

No frills burger shop. Great burger. Fries are eh. Kind of crunchy like they've been over cooked or dried out. Prices have gone up since the menu on their website has been posted, so not as good of a deal as they once were. Still though, a tasty double cheeseburger fully loaded with toppings, fries and a can of soda for $15 is still a pretty good deal for the neighborhood. read more

Petey's Burger - Updated menu September 2022 - Burgers Near Me - Astoria, New York

Ronald McDonald gets a culinary boner when he sees Peteys show up on Seamless. And let's be honest, so do I. Being a regular at delivery, I recently paid a visit in person. It was like a dream had materialized. Admittedly, after frequenting several breweries and a distillery one Saturday afternoon, Peteys was the best answer to the only question I cared about, "What can fill me up and also be delicious yet not over priced?" Peteys is worth the cheat meal, If you're on a diet. If you don't believe me, Just try it. Delivery's worth the wait, The burgers will meet their fate It's better off they're not like, "super-size" it. read more

Treat yourself! Classic burger joint done right! Generous portions on fries, fun little perfected burger recipe... It's an experience It's a mood Grab a Petey's burger... you'll be happy you did.... forget the ratings... enjoy the fun and the heritage !!! Plus, the burger is super tasty so.. Win win anyway read more

I had been wanting to try this burger spot for awhile. I ordered the Cajun burger and sweet potato fries. The Cajun burger was just okay but I really enjoyed the fries. I liked that they had a variety of burgers you could try. The prices were average for a burger joint. I am overdue to check this spot again for some other burger items. read more

Yummy burger, and truly outstanding fries and onion rings in my personal opinion. Cajun seasoning on the fries nom nom!

Huge disappointment, the hype surrounding this place is wildly overblown. Nowhere near the level of Shake Shack, let alone In N Out. More on par with a Five Guys type operation. Marginally better than mcdonalds and burger king and the like I suppose, but I think that should be considered faint praise. Double Burger was very messy and pretty much completely unexceptional in every other way. Fries were decent and seemed fresh but they didn't even offer the option of cheese fries. Thought the wings were a somewhat odd addition to the menu though I didn't sample them. Again, to mention this place in the same breath as In and Out is sheer lunacy. A pale imitation, akin to the fake iPhones you see sold on the streets. read more

Definitely not worth the money. I was thinking that this place was a viable competitor to similar franchises (e.g. Five Guys Burgers), but I was gravely mistaken. They, in essence, use a similar model to Five Guys, but they fail to deliver in terms of burger quality and condiment quality. Mind you, I am not completely sold on franchises like Five Guys, and I am actively looking for someone to best them. Unfortunately, I will have to keep looking after eating here. read more

Best cajun fries ever. 'Nuff said. I have a palate for spicy so if there's an option for cajun fries, I always go for it. And Petey's cajun fries are out of this world - tingling-the-back-of-your-tongue kinda spicy AND come in the form of a legit mountain. I couldn't finish mine and had to ask them to bag the rest up for me to take home. So if you feel eh about burgers, at least come here for the cajun fries. Speaking of burgers though, I got the cheeseburger and thought it was delicious. Size wise it looked about the same as In-N-Out or Shake Shack. As for quality? I can't really say, since I don't remember being impressed by In-N-Out, and Shake Shack's burger quality varies with location imo. Service: I went in on a weekday evening and there were probably 3 customers there, none in line before me, but there was still a bit of a wait on my food. Which is probably a good thing as that means they make it on the spot. They were pretty nice about me asking for a bag for the rest of my fries, and afterward offered to bus away my tray for me. Other than that, pretty standard of fast food joints: call by receipt number, self-serve condiments and utensils, bus away your own tray, etc. p.s. please don't snatch the entire ketchup bottle and hog it at your table. Be a decent human being and use it at the self-serve station first. read more

Petey's Burger - So is Petey a skater boi or burger boi? - Burgers Near Me - Astoria, New York

See all

This place is a fast food place that's VERY west coast. I've ordered delivery from here maybe like twice but upon stumbling upon them on Yelp I immediately thought to myself "OH CRAP!!! I'VE GOTTA REVIEW THIS PLACE!!!" - I also have to get food from here again when I'm in comfort food mode and in Astoria/LIC. Petey's gets 5 stars from me NOT for being a serious burger place, but for being SO MUCH BETTER than anything I've ever had at McDonald's, Burger Kind, Wendy's or any of the fast food giants who's burgers and fries are pathetic (although I DO like Mickey D's fries and their grilled chicken ranch snack wraps & premium wraps are pretty damn satisfying...). The fries here are fantastic and seasoned with more than just salt. CAJUN SEASONED FRIES are pretty much what's up. They probably have regular fries here, but why get regular when you can GO CAJUN?! Yeah, that's what I thought. Aside from their cajun fries they also sell "California Fries". These beautiful fries are thin cut, crunchy fries drowned in melted cheese and thousand islands dressing...with onions, but I hate onions so I asked for none and they delivered. Look at Petey's Burger being all "have it your way" - suck it Burger King, lol. Both times that I've eaten from here I've gone for their burger melt. OH BURGER MELT. It's like they took a hamburger, put a few slices of American cheese singles (not Kraft...more like that better melting deli type of American cheese) on top, a touch of mayo, their "special sauce" which I'm sure is their way of trying to be "In-N-Out Burger" - It's just Russian dressing, but still DELISH - and then put that shizz in a PANINI PRESSER. Oh gosh I wish I had a delicious panini pressed, juicy, saucy, cheesy burger melt in my mouth right now. I'm practically drooling here. If you're on a diet then you should definitely stay away from here. 5 stars for being a deliciously guilty, inexpensive, fast food pleasure. It's no Minetta Tavern, but they make a damn good fast food burger. Damn good. read more

So I heard most people call this the "In-N-Out" of the East Coast. I'm not necessarily sure after my first visit, but it's not a bad option if you don't want to spend a lot of money or time going to Bareburger. For one, there are a lot of different veggie patties you can choose from. I chose the Southwestern patty because I'm a fan of black bean patties. However, I'm really curious about the Greek patty. I had the regular fries with the burger. They were okay, nothing overly special. However, I must say that the portion of fries was huge, so that's a plus. I have to see what the "california" fries are about, since everyone's been trying to compare them to the animal fries at In-N-Out. Only minus was that they forgot to add cheese to my burger, but I can live with that blemish. read more

OK people, here's the deal: We live in New York. We get real pizza, bagels, and awesome Chinese food, the West Coast gets true Mexican food, In-N-Out Burger, and Fatburger. Get over it. Having said that, Petey's servers a decent burger, Cali-style. Don't hate, and DON'T compare this place to McDonald's (it only makes you look like a food noob). Get the double cheese and skip the fries. Enjoy! read more

In plain view once stepping off the 30th Avenue stop in Astoria, Petey's is a place you go into when you don't feel like eating anything Greek and don't have a better clue as to where to go...and receive a tremendous surprise, because this IS the closest thing to In-N-Out burger not in the state of California. Same chunky patty melted into one with a cheerfully orange-ish slice of American cheese. Even the prices are only double (hey, it could be worse in this city, it could be triple or quadruple) what they are at In-N-Out. Plus, the fries are better. Crispy and flavorful with skins still on, and with more substantial innards than the casings they call french fries at the Californian franchise. The smallness of the space is nothing like the actual buildings that house In-N-Out chains, but there ARE sweet faced teen servers here who provide efficient and polite service last seen in the old world, and make eye contact as if they were raised before the digital age. It's almost enough to make you give a tip, only the lightning speed at-counter transaction is quick enough to let you squirm away from the dreaded task of tipping without feeling like a TOTAL douchebag. Actually, writing this, I do feel like a jerk and should really tip next time. A couple well placed televisions help direct your eyes somewhere as your eyes glazed over, so you can distract yourself from the self awareness that you are binging alone in a drafty little burger place in Queens at age 31, car-less, trying to relive memories of your late teens and early 20s cruising 10 friends deep with impunity in a state, climate, and lifestyle that's now more than a continent's breadth and decade out of your reach. If only for a moment, Petey's brings you there through the power of taste. read more

Petey's Burger - Burgers Near Me - Astoria, New York

I have never left a Yelp review before, but this is a PSA, and I have made a Yelp account for the only purpose of reviewing this restaurant. This place was fine the first time I ordered from there and that is about it. Today my boyfriend really wanted to order from here and I said okay...ordered a regular burger and a chocolate milkshake. I have been violently throwing up for the past 5-6 hours, and this is the only food I have had today, so I am 10000% certain this is what made me sick. The burgers came soggy and inedible. I took one bite and put it down, because I could tell the ingredients were not fresh. 3 minutes later I threw up that part of the meal. Figured I'd give the milkshake a go, because how wrong can you go with that??? It tasted a bit off, but I figured they just use ingredients that I'm not used to, because I'm an optimist. Nope, literally the worst food poisoning I have had in years. To top it off the restaurant said they refused to give a refund and that no one ever complains about their food. That is ridiculous, especially after reading some of the other reviews on this page. If I could I would give the food zero stars and the customer service less than that. If your food is making people sick you should care about that, and you don't. I hope health and safety comes knocking on your door. read more

Friend of mines place an order with the place. The delivery driver came and knock on the door given the food and stood there. I didn't know why the order was on Grubhub from what he told me. Next thing I noticed I am missing a can of soda. Well there goes $2+ down the drain. Later that day I step out my apt to find a bunch of rip up grubHub paper in the buildings stairwell. I pick it up and it was the delivery to my apt. The driver made a mess in the building which is unacceptable. For a first time experience with this place. Not worth dealing with rude drivers and forgotten items. Never again. read more

There's some talk of this place as the Astoria version of IN N OUT, and I can see it. Paper wrapper burgers and a couple of patties coddled in cheese and a dollop of spread. As a Californian-New Yorker-Sent-Back-To-California I actually really liked this place. Sure it's not as cheap as IN N OUT, but then again, IN N OUT doesn't do online ordering and delivery, so if you live in Astoria I figure you should check them out. Also, I got the fries well done (a nice trick for surviving the delivery trek that you should look into for any restaurant you order from) and they were DELICIOUS! read more

This review is for delivery only! I love this place! Do not expect a specialty burger, because this is not that. Greasy burgers and fries for when you want something a step above fast food. Milkshakes are great as well. Delivery comes quick, but they charge a $2.50 delivery fee. read more

Moved away but still come back sometimes for Petey's! Nothing beats the Petey melt! Not sure why they only got 3 stars. They are delicious, always fresh and on time! read more

If you don't like Petey's, what's wrong with you? Honestly! They're incredible. Hi, I'm Stef, and I've lived in Astoria for the last few years. I'm mildly anemic, so sometimes I get major cravings for beef. There is nothing like the quality burgers served up at Petey's. Last night, my boyfriend and I discussed how it's "the closest thing to In-And-Out in Astoria." Sure, Manhattan has Shake Shack, but Petey's is so much more satisfying. It's a low-key, laid back neighborhood joint. The bread is fresh, the beef is succulent, and the cheese compliments the rest. And oh - the fries! Goddddd. I'd order delivery from them right now if they were open (it's 10 am, I'm just over here fantasizing). If you're a burger snob who like me, is too good for McDonalds, Petey's will *absolutely* be good enough for you. Trust me. read more

i was told to try peteys burger in astoria and overall it was just ok as burger was a bit dry and fries were soggy. place has a simple cheerful decor with plenty of seats to sit and wait for your order. besides burgers, you can get wings, shakes, etc. i might give the petey another try as a few friends rave about this place and i will update my review soon. read more

Great burger .... bomb fries ... I saw an Instagram story and I immediately went to yelp to check the reviews and pics . If anyone knows me they know I love a good burger and I am obsessed with fries. Came here after work one day to try it out because all the pics made my mouth water lol. I was not disappointed ... I got the #2 combo which was a single patty with cheese ... fries and a drink . The burger came with lettuce tomato onion and I added bacon . My meal was amaze balls . The burger was cooked perfectly and the fries never stopped lol ... I must've had like 1000 fries in my little bag . Definitely will be back read more

Anyhow....i think that im gona have to start bringing Peteys Burger back to LA with me for my LA friends that moved back to Cali from NY....because they miss it so much. This place is off the hook...A double cheese once a week atleast...it really is up there with and if anything surpasses In n out burgers....the patty is thicker, juicier and tastier...and the fries definetly blow away in n out fries....was in there the other day and they were filming something for Time out NY i think with that kelly chen something chic from the TV show...she busted her ass on the floor wearing roller blades..not sure if it was part of the script or not but was pretty funny ;-)....back to the burger.....the double is the way to go....once u taste...u just crave it every week...its the gift that keeps on giving i call it...as far as price...price is right..place is clean and warm....and super fast mexican race-bike drivers...their deliveries are fast!...i definetly recomend eating it in the store....but still not bad when it arrives via Mex-Ex..still tasty. im addicted! read more

Fresh, clean, what a burger should taste like. Petey's is tucked away in Astoria but is what I want a burger to taste like. Clean, slightly greasy, and meaty. It's basically the put good ingredients in equals good burger. It's definitely good if you're in the area but I don't think it's worth a trip just to eat here. read more

This is my go to spot when I've had a little too much to drink the night before and I want a quick cheeseburger to satisfy my burger cravings. Petey's Burger is indeed the closest thing to In-n-out in NYC. Inside it feels like a old school fast food restaurant. I usually order the cheeseburger combo which comes with fries and a drink. I also usually order an extra side of Petey sauce for my fries. The cashiers tend to be very young and at times are not very attentive but again you come here just for the fast food. The burger comes out pretty quickly and is simple yet tasty. My one gripe? Whenever I used to order delivery the food usually would be very cold. I've stopped ordering delivery all together to avoid this frustration and I only eat Petey's if I'm in the area. read more

Petey's Burger - Combo Cheeseburger #2 - Burgers Near Me - Astoria, New York

Now I've never been to In-N-Out, but a few people have compared Petey's to the infamous California burgers. If these burgers taste anything like those at In-N-Out, I have no desire to ever try that establishment. I ordered a cheeseburger, which came with a special sauce, lettuce, tomato and onion. I found the burger to beoverpowered with onion, and extremely greasy. And let's just say, I love onions, so for me to say it was a lot is a big deal. What was even a bigger disappointment was the special sauce was tasteless to me. You can get a combo at Petey's for $7.99 where fries and a drink are included. Drinks are served in cans (we could have used some fountain soda) and the fries were more than enough to split between two people. The fries were pretty good, a much deeper coloring though like the oil in the fryer hadn't been changed in awhile. Overall, I think Petey's is overrated - and it's better to pop into your local Wendy's and get a junior bacon cheese - it's significantly better. read more

Petey's Burger - Petey's burger - Burgers Near Me - Astoria, New York

Definitely meh. While it sated my fast food burger craving, it really wasn't impressive. The double cheeseburgers looked good, so points for presentation, but they managed to be both greasy and a bit dry at the same time. My roommate liked the Greek veggie burger she got, but it was a rather thin patty. **update she just told me let's not order from here again because it made her weirdly gassy** The chocolate shake was a bit too sweet for me. The worst of the worst though, which is why it's getting 2 stars instead of 3, is the sweet potato fries. Absolute garbage that is going largely uneaten into the garbage. They were an unappetizing grayishbrownishrusty color and were limp and oily and just tasted weird. Should have skipped them completely in the first place and would have saved $10 (2 orders). They were so ugly I took a picture to post on here. SO. GROSS. If I'm desperate for a greasy burger, then I might get Petey's again (though the $1.25 delivery fee is no bueno and has stopped me every time before today). But if there were a Shake Shack around here instead, that's where I'd go, especially since the prices are about the same but much better quality at Shake Shack. Another yummy alternative would be Burger Garage in LIC. Man, wish I still worked near them. Also, not better than In n' Out and definitely 50% costlier. Sorry. read more

Cheeseburger - Average, nothing special but still better than most fast food chains out there Cheese fries - Not cheesy enough, very little cheese Cajun fries - Tasty, flavorful Portion - Burger size is decent but the fries were huge! Service was alright, can't really say anything good or bad about it. The place is small & clean. Cheeseburger combo - $8.71 (comes with fries & drink), add 15 cents if you want cajun fries or add 50 cents if you want cheese fries instead of regular fries read more

"Better than In N Out" it says on the front window. I fell for this lie and I write this review in the hopes that you won't. Burger and fries were 2x the price of In N Out and on top of that the meal was so bland that I actually felt bad about myself afterwards. There's no place to sit down inside so I had to carry my meal a mile home in this 40 degree weather. The presentation of the burger was unappetizing and the service is about as low quality as the meal. As with all bad experiences in life, I'm just grateful I now know the road that led me here so I can avoid it at all cost in the future. read more

The latest knock off In N out Joint, Petey's Burger does a solid job delivering a solid burger at a fair price. This burger is good, arguably very good, but definitely not in the same class as Shake Shack. I ordered the Double Cheese without onion and extra crispy fries. The pattys are slightly larger than Shake Shack and the bun is the perfect size (doesn't overwhelm the meat!). The burger was very tasty but just lacked the flavor that you find in the Pat Lafrieda blends at a shake Shack and other spots. That being said, they have some of the best house cut French fries that I've had in some time. read more

The burger was amazing it is similar to in and out burger it was so good ... really really good

Amazing. I hate the dressing that comes on the burgers though lol I always ask them to leave that off. This is the closest thing I can get to that good midwestern style of burger I miss so much. Shake Shack tries but they're too expensive and frankly not as good. It's missing one star because while it is almost there it's not quite what I want...however to get what I want I'd have to leave the city and go back to the middle of nowhere for a burger which I'm not gonna do... so I don't really think I can complain too much. Shakes are a little overpriced but they are really good. read more
