Friendly service. Fresh burger. 3 stars because one burger with sweet potato fries was $24. The burger didn't have any flavor. A little salt and pepper with onion powder would have been great. Water was offered during our wait. read more

There is little that can remind you of what a charmed life you lead than waking at noon, heading to two 8 two, and having a breakfast burger ($9) and a beer. This is a wonderfully seasoned burger with fried egg, bacon and cheddar. It's decadent, juicy and you feel good about yourself for eating breakfast !! Or maybe your shopping in the area and want a late lunch. Grab a seat at the bar, talk to one of the friendly bartenders ( Melissa is super ) and order a Billyburger ($7.50). A "simple" burger with cheddar and grilled onions -- it's so good you'll be mad at all the bad burgers you eaten elsewhere. I've been here numerous times since yelp event years ago and the quality has been consistently high. If there's a complaint it's the hamburgers are so good I haven't branched out and tried lamb, turkey or veggie burger yet. They use locally ground beef ( from Los Paisanos-- review coming), have a nice outdoor area and staff is always accommodating. Lead a charmed life and satisfy your burger cravings here. read more

Several years and visits after a Yelp Elite Event here, two8two is basically the same. The bar is ok. The burgers unique and tasty. We stopped by recently during happy hour. Although the bar doesn't offer a variety of happy hour cocktails, the Cuzco Fizz with Pisco, St Germaine elderflower, lime juice and sour cherries was refreshing! The host was cool and said we could sit at the bar or a table. He didn't mind that we ended up doing both as after drinks we decided five of us eating at a table would be nicer for convo. The burgers weren't the biggest in the world, but big enough. My regular two8two Burger had cheddar cheese, secret two8two sauce, and awesome roasted poblano chiles which really made the burger stand out. Plus I added bacon. Greasy and soggy bottom but how could it not be? Yum! Too bad I didn't get tomatoes and lettuce. I just assumed they came with the burger, but the waiter never asked if I wanted them. So mention when ordering. We had different fries orders to share and the Greek fries with feta cheese and oregano went first. So delicious! We'll probably be back in the Summer when the outdoor patio is warmer. P.S. My eagle eye spotted numerous outlets to recharge dead iPhones. D'oh for forgetting my cord! read more

Two 8 Two Burger and a cocktail to end the evening after a night out bar hopping. Oh yeah. First time back here in quite a while. Burgers still taste good and they have a terrific selection to choose from on the menu. The Two 8 Two Burger is a hamburger with roasted poblano chiles, cheddar cheese and two 8 two sauce. Cooked just right and the chilis gave it a nice kick. Love the sauce. Solid craft beer selection, not super large, but enough here to satisfy the palate. The place was empty the night we wandered in and sat at the bar. Nice friendly bartender took care of us. I was in a cocktail mood and they also feature a nice little cocktail list. I had the Presidente - rum, solerno, dolin dry vermouth, pineapple juice and grenadine. At $10 it's a decent price for a well made drink, yet I was a bit underwhelmed by this one. Maybe it was a bit too sweet for me and tasted like juice. I also thought the burgers were a tad pricey for the size that they are. Plus, there is an extra charge for fries. It was an ok meal to end the night before heading back on the subway. read more

I've been meaning to try out this place for the longest time and boy, am I happy I did. It's a large space with plenty of bar seating and a huge area in the back along with a backyard patio and it's dim, warm, and inviting - perfect for a lowkey date night or to throw back a few drinks with your friends. First off, their pub burger is incredible. The grilled onions are perfect, the cheddar cheese is melt in your mouth, and even though the bun is one of those barbecue buns you can buy from Wonderbread or whatever, it's actually perfect for the burger because you're not there to eat bread. You're there to eat MEAT. The two8two sauce is some sort of mayo-based topping, a little sweet and a lot savory. My only complaint was that my burger was a little bit on the salty side, probably from the 8 oz patty and the bacon all rolled together, but listen, I'll take a little bit of dehydration for something that delicious. The onion rings were nothing to write home about, but honestly, I was so happy and joyous after that delicious burger, I didn't even care. This is worth every ounce of hype, I assure you. read more

Two 8 Two Bar & Burger - Pub burger - Burgers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Really solid burger, good prices, comfortable back patio. Will be back for more. Nice neighborhood hang

With a bar in the front, a cozy dining area in the back, and a solid burger menu to boot, Two 8 Two was an easy dinner choice for my girlfriend and I last night. It was a little awkward when three of my students and their families showed up at the neighboring tables at the same time our cocktails arrived, but a few sips in, I managed to forget about them. She ordered the Cuzco Fizz, which was strong and tart enough to cause our lips to pucker after every sip. My own drink, the Across Smith Street, was just as strong but sweetened with the help of a splash of pineapple juice. Not long after, our burgers were ready. She'd gone with the two8two burger figuring "anytime a restaurant puts its own name into an entree, it must be good". Though a little small for my taste, it was a decked out burger with roasted chiles, cheese, and a dribble of their signature sauce. My own choice, the veggie burger, arrived with an unusual presentation. Apparently, the patty was too big for the bun so they cut it up into slices and stacked them on top of each other which made for a pretty tall burger once the tomatoes and lettuce were added. I was already mentally drafting notes about the erratic presentation but it was all squelched by the first bite. This was a damn fine burger. The patty had been nicely seared on the grill so there was a delightful crunch with each bite, and I have no idea what they put into that signature two8two sauce but it was tasty and reminded me of the sauce slathered in Big Macs...in the best way possible. Along with their thin-cut, skin-on french fries, this was a truly good meal. And if I can say that about the vegetarian burger, I'm sure they know their way around their meat options too. Service was spot on, with our waiter checking on us neither too much or too little and topping off our water glasses whenever they ran low. The only drawback I can think of is that pickles do not come with your burger, and asking for them will get you two spears of pickles and cost you an extra 50 cents, as will as extra lettuce and tomato. But, folks, this is Brooklyn Heights, where even breathing the air will cost you something. Other than that, we enjoyed a great meal here and would definitely return again. read more

Two 8 Two Bar & Burger - Seating area in the back - Burgers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Good burger. Nice little place. The waiter was nice and helped get an outside table ready for us quickly. We were given water and then... nothing. We looked over the menu even though we were ready from seeing the menu before coming in. Eventually our server came over and we ordered everything, including drinks. Commence with more waiting. Everything then came at once, including drinks. Could of sold more drinks if they weren't served with the food. Speaking of the food it's pretty good. Their meat is supposed to come from a local butcher literally around the corner which I've been to and is fantastic. I found the burgers to be a good size. They are not crazy big but, they are also not tiny like someone mentioned. The turkey burger was full of flavor and between the toasted bun and the crispy bacon was on par with what I expected of a good burger. Wife had the protein burger, it had a ton of lettuce for the wrap, she ended up disassembling it. Flavor was on point though so no complaints. Sweet potato fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The onion rings were fantastic. Straight up beer batter onion rings. They serve them with ketchup, which is a crime. No ranch, another crime. I dipped them in the mayo/ketchup/relish mix which makes up their 282 burger sauce. Overall pleasant service and good food. read more

Only in New York do bachelor pads and burgers often cost a fortune. In any other city, the average offering of each would be reasonable. Here it's tough to find a decent burger in the single digits. But there are spots you can try hand-made, non chain burger for under $10. In fact, I was happy to walk near Two 8 Two and noticed a sign promoting their lunch specials. For around $8, you get one of their burgers and and a big plate of fries - a pretty good deal in any city. read more

I've had some great burger experiences here. I would say that I enjoy sitting at the window while enjoying a "Billy Burger" and an IPA. I prefer to go when it's not quite busy with happy hour crowds. Late afternoon is preferred. The burger is simple and juicy. I believe they source their ground beef from Paisanos Butcher shop on Smith Street. I really enjoy the shredded iceberg lettuce that sometimes accompanies the burger. They don't always give you lettuce so I make it a point to ask for it. Also their pickles are really good alongside the burger, I usually get an extra side of pickles. I wouldn't say the fries are the best, but I tend to go for the sweet potato fries. All in all, this is a good spot if you enjoy a simple burger and a beer. read more

Two 8 Two Bar & Burger - the "Billy Burger" with an extra side of pickles. - Burgers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The Bar and the Burger. Simple, wonderful, and shouldn't be hard to execute. Fortunately, two8two wears the mantle well. I've been here twice with my wife. Once, we sat in the back garden with a group, the second time we sat alone at the bar. Both times we had excellent service and both times we had good brews and burgers at a decent price. Note: the food is a la carte. If you order a burger, that's all you are getting. This is a detractor for some, and I admit I think it's pretty lame, but it is what it is. Sometimes it is unfortunate to live in New York. Personally, I think the buns are too small. Both times I have been here, the bun on my burger has been a bit smaller than the burger itself. This, I am not crazy about. Also the bun itself is not the large, substantial bun I am used to with a burger. It is small and low-profile like the little potato buns you can get at the supermarket or like a fast-food-style bun. That, however, is the only comparison to fast-food I will make here as the quality of two8two is anything but. Regardless of my complaint about the bun, I just can't be mad at it. It may not be my preference, but the burgers are delicious anyway and it's certainly not a deal-breaker. My wife and I have had an all-around great experience here and we will be back. Note: there is not a terrible amount of seating here but they do have a large bar to sit at. If you have a group or it is a peak hour, call in to check what the deal is so you don't end up waiting too long. Not sure if the outdoor seating is seasonal only. read more

Two 8 Two Bar & Burger - Makes my heart smile. - Burgers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Nice spot for lunch with a full bar and decent amount of tables. It's rarely ever super crowded so there's never a wait for a table and the food comes out quick. I often get the lamb burger which is fresh ground and seasoned with spices and topped with house made tzatziki (white sauce), paired with fries. It's delicious and filling too. On days in he summer when I'm not that hungry I'll grab a BLT that ones with "two8two" sauce on it, idk what's in that stuff but it's so good. I've tried several drinks on the menu also. They run a margarita special during happy hour; classic margarita on the rocks for $6, it's pretty solid. Some of my other favorites are the "Jalapeño margarita" which has a nice kick to it if you like spicy drinks, "Across Smith Street" which is a decently strong bourbon cocktail and for the lighter days when seeking something refreshing the "Bourbon limeade" I'd recommend. read more

Great vibe and great food! Would highly recommend the chicken sandwich, it's charred ever so slightly and has the cheese perfectly melted on it. Two8Two sauce is terrific too, whatever it is-and I say that as a compliment because it seems like at this point "secret sauce" is all the same at every restaurant (lookin at you @Shake Shack)! read more

Pros: - Delicious burger on a potato (?) bun with absolutely yummy "house" sauce that definitely has mayo and ketchup in it (I won't ask for the secret, promise!). - Very reasonably priced, especially for the area! - yummy, refreshing drinks Cons: - let's just say that before even going through half of his buger, hubby ordered seconds . Indeed, it is not a huge burger and while it's pretty delicious, for a grown boy of ... Well, just not enough - the yummy drink could use a bit more "adult beverage" to it and a bit less "Shirley temple" I do like this joint and would recommend a visit. read more

I've been back to Two 8 Two three times since my initial review, and my verdict remains-- they still have the best burger I've found in NYC! Also, I must give props once again to the sweet potato fries and onion rings-- both very delicious! One thing I failed to mention in my initial review was their great selection of reasonably priced draft beers, so be sure to check those out as well. Also, I recently found out they have Happy Hour each day, so ask the wait staff about their drink specials. I'm fairly certain their Happy Hour goes until 7 p.m. and includes special pricing for pints and other drinks. read more

In the exploration of the Flatbush neighborhood which I need to do more. My friend and I wanted a nice burger for dinner. Two8Two seems to fit the bill. The restaurant was pretty full the night we went. The wood rustic interior lends to the burger eating but acoustically was a bit loud. We opted to sit outside in the nice garden and where it wasn't as noisy. The burger was excellent and cooked as ordered - medium. The bun was toasted and a side of Ketchup. Both of us were satisfied campers with beer in hand. Friendly service, neighborhood restaurant that put out a solid hamburger. This is what I'm talking about. read more

I went here on an off day (Xmas Eve), and in the late afternoon, so it was sort of empty but I ended up running into an acquaintance anyway, which was a good omen. The bloody mary I ordered with my burger was interesting - pretty briny with a lil' pickle and all - and I mostly enjoyed it, but the Veggie Burger was off the chain. Firstly, you MUST get it with the sauteed onions as that really makes the burger pop. The patty that they used isn't one I usually enjoy - it was all veggie and no soy - but the way they prepared it made me lop it all up. The Two 8 Two sauce is another must. It's not vegan, though why would you expect it to be in a burger spot. The fries are pretty good too - we got the sweet potato ones. The space is very nice too, very comfortable and even homey feeling. You'll enjoy your time at this spot -- it's definitely worth checking out. read more

The workers here are so polite and helpful. Two friends and I were trying to find a place to chow down with our dog. We called them and asked if we could bring her, she's 12 pounds and super quiet, into their patio space so we didn't have to leave her and they were super accomodating with us. The server actually brought our dog water first before us! A+ my man! Their menu is small which is perfect for the indecisive type like me! Got the Two 8 Two burger which was delish! Their house sauce is very tasteful and burger cooked to medium rare just like requested. I shared with a friend (we weren't too hungry) and it was enough. The side of fries are worth it as well. You get a good amount for what you pay for! Also, their happy hour drink that day was a mixture of lime and whiskey. Sweet and powerful. Final word: Will come here again. read more

My favorite Burger in Brooklyn! At Two 8 Two, the bread to meat ratio is perfect. The burger is oozing with meat juice and when combined with the special sauce and grilled onions it is just perfection. At $8 for the Billy Burger which is what I order every time, you can't go wrong. In fact I'm salivating as I write this. I've tried the Greek and Chili Cheese Fries - stick with the basic classic Fries as a side, thats all you need, the rest are nothing special. read more

Cozy, affordable, burger joint. Burgers are so good I haven't tried the hot dogs, but I want to. No fancy topping really, just the basics done really well. That said, I love the poblano peppers on the burger. Great combination. Solid selection of beers, and they have boozy milkshakes. I haven't tried the later, but they sound good. There is happy hour, but it is limited. And a couple of TVs at the bar, but defnitely not a sports bar feel. read more

I came here for a friend's farewell party on Friday night. The space is small, but very cozy. We had a fairly large group, and were given the space in the back. The only option I had was the veggie burger, which was pretty tasty- I just had them hold the cheese. I also had the blood orange margarita, which was most definitely grapefruit, but still pretty tasty. Thankfully, we were automatically given individual bills, allowing everyone to come and go as needed. I passed this spot sooo many times when I was living in Brooklyn, and never went in. I'm glad I was finally able to check it out, but it's not on my list of places to return to when back in Brooklyn. read more

Best burger I've had in NY, maybe the best burger I've ever had. Amazing that and very friendly staff. Highly recommend read more

This is a popular place on Yelp so i made it a destination. I enjoyed the boozy-burger vibe. They clearly put a lot of thought into designing the overall experience. Reminded me of a hip spot in SF or Seattle a decade ago with the warm tones and hip rock/funk/trip-hop soundtrack. Feels like how bourbon should taste like. The waiter was smart and on point. The burger was very small and a bit pricey. They get fresh meat from a local butcher but make no claims about the contents. It is not grass fed or organic or anything. Just beef or in my case lamb. The lamb burger was tasty though. I added an egg and ordered a side of fries. Yes you pay $12 for the little tasty burger and the get the opportunity to order fries. The fries were fine. Well cooked. The style was very fake-fry feeling. Sweet mush recombined into the shape of a fry. Not my favorite style but they did it well. But in the end I leave feeling good. Next time I might order 2 burgers though and try the onion rings. read more

The best burger I've had in years! I heard about this place from a friend, looked it up & the menu immediately won me over. I had the breakfast (turkey) burger & it was finger licking mmm mmm GOOD!!! The egg on it, the sauteed onions, the bun, the TWO8TWO sauce....everything! Its hard to find a place that serves a superb turkey burger. Well I don't have to look any further. I also had a side of the greek fries. Nothing spectacular although very good. Just fries sessoned w/oregano & crumbles of feta cheese. My friend ordered onion rings & they were great....crunchy in a sweet batter. The service was wonderful from entry to exit. The ambience was awesome for 4:30 in the afternoon. I'm already anxious to go back! read more

The burgers are top notch, but I HATE when places advertise lunch specials only to have you go in and realize that the lunch special sucks. There's an $8 hamburger and fries special posted on the board outside. When we were seated we learned that it wasn't their regular hamburger and side of fries, but a SMALLER side of fries. So annoying. Why do that? It just makes me mad! Let us have our $1.50 savings that you tempted us into you restaurant with. Cheapskate rant aside, the burgers are good, but you have to pay for each additional topping (ok, I guess rant not over). Small space. Bar setting. They DO have high chairs though! read more

Exactly what you want in a local burger place. Great food/burger/fries, casual atmosphere, good music and friendly service.

You can come for drinks, you can come for dinner, or can come for both! There is a nice bar with decent taps at the front, and a quiet dining room in the back, this place will fit whatever party you come here with. We opted to be in the back so we can sit down and eat across from one another. We were surprised to see 3 families with small children already situated in the back even though we just passed about 6 people drinking at the bar. This is already a good sign! We didn't take very long looking at the menu at went with their signature burger, Greek fries, and blackened chicken sandwich. The signature burger came in at a good price and just the right size, topped with poblano chiles, cheddar and their own sauce. The burger looked delicious, smelled amazing, and (luckily) tasted fantastic! Since the burgers don't come with sides, we shared a Greek fries order and was also thrilled at its flavor, crispiness, and perfect seasoning. One of us didn't feel like burger night so I ordered the blackened chicken sandwich topped with bacon, cheddar, and their sauce. This, too, was another surprise in flavor and presentation. The pictures really don't do it justice as the sandwich came out hot and enticing. The chicken was not dry at all, nor was it greasy. The bacon was crispy and their signature sauce just tied the whole sandwich together so well. There isn't much to complain about at this restaurant, everyone should give it a try when you're in the area for a nice, tasty burger. read more

Came by with my dog - limited seating out front but they were nice enough to accommodate us as best as possible (and provided water for my dog too!). A solid burger place. While they do advertise the plant-based Beyond burger, the sauce has mayo and the server also informed me the buns had butter. Ended up going with a lettuce-wrapped burger which was good as far as lettuce-wrapped burgers go. Fries are extra but they give you a heaping portion so definitely worth the price paid. read more

I've been meaning to come here for a long time. I actually made my way over after Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy. It was packed since it was one of a few food places open on the block. Food service also took out bit longer than usual, at least according to the bartender. I ordered the signature burger. I must say, the meat was good, but it was a bit on the small side. The chilies on top made it a little bit slimy and only added incremental flavor to it. Also, for $9, it came with no fries on the side, which was a little bit disappointing. They also only give you ketchup in tiny cups. I also tried the sweet potato fries. They were a little soggy and could use more spice. All in all, I would return to give them another shot when it's normal. It's a great atmosphere and I would try one of their other burgers. read more

I've ordered for pickup several times. The burgers are amazing. I like to call in my order bc I confirm the exact timing --the person who takes my order is always super efficient and friendly! I've tried to call the last few weeks and haven't been able to place an order by telephone --just get a recording saying they're busy--and an online order for pickup was estimated for 40-65 min--which wasn't consistent with any other time I've ordered when they've estimated 10-15 minutes for a burger. I'm glad business is picking up but I didn't order bc I didn't want a cold burger and I also didn't want to be standing and waiting longer than necessary bc I was getting this for my drive home at 9 at night. If there's a way pickup time's can be made more precise or a smaller estimated window that would be so much better. read more

Sat outside in back during a cold night and it was great and the best Winter Covid outing I've had yet! They have four picnic tables spread apart and two large propane heaters and no wind. They also have tables out front with heaters and somewhat sheltered. Burger has always been great and didn't disappoint - service was fine if not prompt and they were out of crafty beer on tap - likely because of lack of volume as I've run into that elsewhere during Covid. read more

What is it with NY and their tiny burgers with humongous price tags. When you charge $10 for a burger, you're setting the expectations pretty high (even for NY), and this place definitely falls short. Their namesake burger was pretty bland, not sure what the two8two sauce was supposed to taste like. All I tasted was a cheeseburger with poblano chiles. The feta on the Greek fries also lacked any tang and just served to mute the flavor of the fries. Most of it ended up left on the plate and not in the stomach =(. read more

This place had been highly recommended by a friend so I decided to give it a try. These burgers are good, but not the best in the world. If you're looking for amazing burgers I would probably go elsewhere. These burgers reminded me of an upscale Shake Shack, only much less oily. I really enjoyed the jalapeño margarita though. It was well made - nice and spicy! I didn't expect the burgers to be on the smaller side so my bf and I ordered one to share after we had finished our first burgers. We got sweet potato fries on the side which were pretty good, not too crispy but not soggy either. We ordered the two8two burger (10$), Half and Half Burger with a fried egg (12.50$ bc of the egg add-on) and then lastly the Billy Burger (8.50$). All solid burgers - not oily, fairly juicy and had tasty grilled toppings. We both liked that the burgers were not heavy. The grilled onions in the Billy Burger and the roasted poblano chiles in the Two8Two burger were a delicious addition to the burger, which added a lot of flavor. My boyfriend had the half and half burger. He wished that it would have been a bit more juicy but it was still definitely good. This one was particularly stuffed because of the fried egg so it was a bit hard to eat. I appreciated that this place is affordable. Nothing above 12$ unless you get lots of extras. I would definitely come back. Solid burgers, good drinks and cozy bar type atmosphere. read more
