What a unique, down-to-Earth place. About a year and a half ago a guy was giving out menus for this place under the J train and it remained in the back of my mind, even though I was living in Harlem at the time. Fast forward to now, I'm living within walking distance of this place and my boyfriend and I went to check it out this evening. I was skeptical of the food selection, but I ordered some kind of burger on a pretzel bun and it was really good! I was super surprised at the huge number (literally thousands!) of games to choose from, and while I never played video games much in my life and I'm terrible at them, we had a fun couple hours playing games. It got quite loud inside between the music, movies, and games, but it didn't really bother me since I was occupied with the games I was playing. Honestly, this appears to just be the manifestation of the owner's dream, which I find to be quite endearing. You can tell somebody LOVES video games and just wanted to make a cool space where people can play for free and eat random junk food. Even though I am not a video game person, I would return here because this place is pretty special. read more

Very good customer service! The owner is incredibly kind and personable, which made the experience even better. The SAS wings were absolutely delicious -- truly to die for! read more

The comic book/superhero themed restaurant towards the front is decorated with comic book graphics. There are comic books stacked on every table. Towards the back is a bar. The food was okay. The portion size is nice and big. The veggie burger ($8) with pepper jack cheese ($1 more) was filling. I ordered the honey Hennessy sauce ($2 more) with it which was good. It wasn't spectacular. I think mustard would been just alright. The happy hour ($5) 16oz rum with orange cream was refreshing. If you want to come and take it the comic book vibe, this is a great place to visit. Keep in mind, most of the comic books are old as well as the super Mario game and mahjong. I would visit for the experience. The staff were more than welcoming to me and my friends. read more

Action Burger - NEW Tres leches crunch - Burgers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great concept, terrible execution. We ordered food here to go, they left out like half the order. We should have checked the bag before we left. I told my boyfriend to go back and complain but after reading reviews, I guess that wouldn't get us anywhere. So we ate the cost...can't say the same for the food though, the food we did get, was inedible. Cold chicken, etc. This would be a great concept and amazing place to have in the neighborhood if it was executed correctly, but this place needs a lot of work. Not many places to sit inside, the games seemed to work but there's not many. As far as Covid-19 goes, it's a small space, not much social distancing going on and the tables/games didn't appear to be wiped down after use. I saw crumbs on a table near the back and my brother and boyfriend played some games while we waited for the food, but no one wiped them down afterward. read more

Best wings I've had in Brooklyn. Somehow juicy and super crispy. and they've got all the classics to split screen with friends. Truly one of my favorite places in Brooklyn. It ain't fancy, but who wants fancy EVERY night, eh? read more

Action Burger - Halo reach split screen fireteam. Custom gruntpocalypse mode - Burgers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Action Burger is like a love ballad to mellenial nostalgia. The amount of retro games in here is absolutely amazing and if you jump the 40 something to reserve a table you and your friends will seriously not be disappointed. The GameCube table kept me and my friends super entertained for the entire three hours we were there, and the giant tower of gamer booze was the best way to kick off that night of partying!! Staff were insanely sweet, checked up on his really often, and even gave us some complimentary stuff later on!! The food is the only hangup here; we opted for the greasy stuff and though we were not disappointed by the level of grease, it also made it hard to finish out meals.. I mean I can't blame them because I did order a mac'n'cheese cheeseburger, but I also feel like it could be scaled back 20% in greasiness or size. That being said, I thought the food was solid for a grease spoon gamer diner kinda vibe. Think this place is massively underrated, if you're a gamer, like retro stuff, enjoy super over-the-top Instagramable food, or massive towers of light up alcohol, Action Burger is your jam guaranteed. read more

This is primarily a bar and restaurant, coupled with a pretty substantive gaming center in the front. The space is not very big, but we had a great experience and felt it was a great value. Came here on a weeknight for a Halo LAN party and "Mr Carter" hooked us up. We connected 3 Xboxes (combination of two originals and one 360) and played the original Halo 1 with 12 people from around 7pm to 11pm. Time flew by, we yelled and taunted each other, had a great time, and it only cost us about $100 for the whole night, or about $10 per person. Let me qualify this review by saying that we did not eat any of the food; the manager let us bring in our own food and gave us tables upon which to eat. The drinks were pretty standard, beers and some basic well drinks, but I saw Mr Carter making milkshakes every night. Sure, there were a few kinks with the system link, and I think they could do better in the drink department, but overall a great place. read more

In my efforts to make a contribution to my fellow black owned businesses, I stumbled upon your restaurant Action Burger. My fiancé and I decided to come check it out. First and foremost the cashier, Vlane, he did not make us feel welcomed. We were rushed to place our order, after he gave a review of our order I requested to add lettuce and tomato to my burger, he advised me he would have to go back to make that change in which he pretty much made it seem like it was an issue. Therefore we did not get the lettuce and tomato added, even though its listed as a free add on he couldn't even communicate it verbally to the chef. As we proceeded to payment I was getting ready to hand him my debit card, and he says the card system is down. In that moment I heavily considered leaving without purchasing the food because he should have informed us of that from the beginning of the conversation. Then I said to myself you came here to support so just do what you came to do, luckily I had the cash on hand. As we waited in the dining area for about one minute he then informed us he has to close the door because they are no longer accepting orders. We were told to wait inside or outside in this case it wasn't what he said but how he said it. Finally down to the food, we both got a pretzel bun and the top of the bun was hard like a rock as if it was microwaved. Totally unacceptable, I wanted to provide a video attachment for your viewing, doesn't seem allowed ‍ P.S: originally I emailed the restaurant directly to the restaurant via the email provided on the receipt, but they never responded so here I go read more

YES to action burger. They have video games, TVs everywhere with great content, and great ambiance. It truly doesn't feel like you're in the city. You can tell the owner put their love tof videogames and comics into this restaurant. It is so unique and so gratifying seeing someone's passion come to life. To everyone who is complaining about this establishment, I think it is really easy to tear down someone else's hard work through the internet by venting your frustrations. It makes me sad to think that someone put their heart and soul into making this restaurant and a few bad orders highlight the experience. The food we got took some time, but it was GOOD! The action sauce was amazing, we got more than enough food to take home and reheat later (it's just as good). You truly can't go wrong with this place. They have an extensive menu that has creativity and you can truly indulge yourself here. I can personally vouch for the Bio-combo, chicken & waffle sandwich, mystery tots, cheese-utopia burger. It's hard to find this kind of food anywhere in the city! The closest I can think of is Comfortland in Queens. read more

The outside looked very unappealing. I walked inside and it was smaller than I thought it would be. I was at the cashier for 5 to 6 mins before she appeared out of nowhere. When I told her it was my first time here. She is like oh. No you will enjoy it or welcome. Very unpleasant. The decor is amazing if you like video games and comics. Of course you have video game hogs who overrun the place so you can't play and hope they leave while you wait. I got the cookie overload milkshake and Mac and cheese bacon burger. How is the food? Well...the milkshake was really good. The burger I wish I could say was good. The Mac and cheese was lukewarm. I asked for a med rare burger and got a med well. It was alright even though I don't like med well meat. So..... Will I come back? Probably not. I am not impressed with the hype. So best of luck Action Burger. read more

Have you ever been so excited to go to what you think is going to be an awesome establishment, to just walk into the hugest disappointment of a lifetime? Well, that was my experience at Action Burger. Literally one big ass disappointment. Last weekend while I was depositing cash at Chase, I saw that someone had done some outreach and dumped a ton of menus there. Henny Cooladas, video games and Mac n cheese burgers? Hello! I'm there! My husband and I usually go out for dinner on Friday nights, so we decided that Action Burger would be the next spot to try out. The moment you get to the place it looks run-down. It's kind of tight, as the entryway is a bit small and there are tables super close to the entrance. Each table has consoles and tv's, which is cool, but the place just looks messy. I'm thinking maybe it's supposed to resemble a teenage boys room? Yeah, no. We're standing around waiting for someone to tend to us. In enters one of the restaurant staff. He looks at us and says "you can sit anywhere. You paying card or cash?" Pretty odd greeting, no? I say "card". Maybe "cash" would've been the magic word because dude points to a screen, hands us 2 menus and says "you could order at the computer", and walks away to sit at the bar with a girl to eat and watch whatever movie he had on. I'm pretty sure it was obvious that this was our first time there. I go over to the computer. My husband wanted the Man n Cheese bacon burger. Tap the computer, some of the icons that should display items are Grey squares, no pictures. Tap the burger tab, 3 options come up; classic, villains and good guys. I wanted a veggie burger but wanted to add the mac n cheese to mine. Nothing but Grey squares as if the system was not working. It's pretty much a "build-a-burger" concept, as there are tabs with prices for everything, but I didn't see an option to get the burger I wanted my way. Searched for the burger that my husband wanted and it was not on the screen menu. All the while, the worker never stopped watching his movie to say "hey, do you need assistance? Would you like some suggestions?" Customer service just sucked. We walked out super disappointed and ended up going to our regular Friday night spot. Action Burger can be great if they cleaned up the joint and hired workers that are fun and have customer service skills. The self service kiosk is a major turn-off & the workers need major training. read more

The burgers (the only menu item I've sampled thus far) are pretty average. But that's entirely beside the point. This place is a magical little hole-in-the-wall example of the kind of spot that gives hope that NY can still be "cool" amidst the influx of Five Guys and Dunkin. Upon entering, I knew I'd found "my people." Comic book covers line the walls, dioramas of miscellaneous action figures are proudly on display, and the screen on the wall appears ton constantly screen Marvel movies and others of that ilk. The restaurant was pretty full of dudes who were clearly regulars - and I mean who *wouldn't* want to spend their Thursday night playing (free) old school arcade games with a likeminded nerd-tastic set? 10-minute wait for my food you say? No worries. Take your time. I'll just be in the corner whooping my dinner-mate's butt in Mortal Kombat. read more

** 2nd Update** To Manager's Updated Comments (His 2nd response): Dude. Stop. You're a boss, act like one. You don't agree with something, give respectful feedback or ignore it. It's that simple. I had a negative experience and maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought Yelp was the forum to express that. Now when folks look at Action Burger, you see a manager responding unprofessionally. This is your brand, image.. own it. Take pride in it. How do you ever expect to grow as a business if you are not even open to the possibility of "things breaking" or not being handled properly 100% of the time. And me, the customer should not have to explain this to you. I would not lie about anything I experienced. My food came within the hour of me placing it. So no let's not blame Door Dash for what you called and I quote "3-6 hour bacon" or burnt dried up chicken. I noticed you tried to clean up your previous response with edits, but I already have that screen shot. I've already posted proof from the door dash App with a timeline, I've already shown proof of when the picture was taken and you still choose to go down this path. If the pictures weren't embarrassing enough, your behavior has now shown the billions of people on the internet why Action Burger is not a respectable business ran with integrity. Good night & please do not respond. Take some time, review this exchange between us in the morning and figure out how you are going to do better next time. **UPDATE** Response to Business Manager's comment: I think you might be implying that I let the food sit for hours before I took the picture? I hope I'm wrong. If not, I'm following up this post with receipts! Time stamps on when my order was placed on DoorDash, when it was delivered and date/time when picture was taken :-) Accountability much? I don't know why you have been in business for 5 years sir. Why are you asking me? What I do know and have proof of is my order that was placed and received on 3/4. And you as a professional instead of owning up to this horrific incident, you 1. Denied 2. Placed Blame & Accused 3. Told me what I could have done, followed by what sounded like an insincere apology. I think that sums it up. If this is an example of your leadership in this establishment, how could I be surprised about receiving multi-color bacon. I hope you consider making necessary changes. Have a great day! P.S .. thanks for letting me know why my bacon was that color. I'll be sure to follow up with the NYC Health Department. read more

Okay so real talk, I haven't actually eaten here. I saw this place on Mystery Diners and thought the owner had some good vibes so I left five stars. However, it would be wrong to ignore the INJUSTICES of that greasy mustached man, Charles Stiles. In the episode, a girl named Jessica (dressed as Bellona) was blamed (by Stiles) for the actions of the male staff!!! She was blamed because a cook wanted to take a selfie of her and cause she was distracting the cashier. BRUH THAT'S NOT HER FAULT?! And then she got yelled at for "taking advantage" of some fool who was selling his comic book? THAT'S ON HIM! It was honestly heartbreaking to see this wonderful tinfoil wearing ginger woman being blamed for the work of trash men. Charles Stiles is a SIMP #JusticeForBellona read more

I brought my friend here last night for her bachelorette party and we all loved it! When my friend first saw it from the outside, she was a bit disappointed because it seems like a hole in the wall. But don't judge a book by it's cover because this place has the best burgers and Margaritas we've ever had. The owner is a cool dude who attended us like we were celebrities and the atmosphere was fun and welcoming. I got tipsy on the "Bio-Sapiens" (Margaritas) and ended up having a blast playing "Just Dance" by myself and then with a complete stranger, lol. Another great thing about "Action Burger" is that it has After-Hour Open Bar for $30 on the weekends after 11 am. Unfortunately, we didn't stay that long because the bride-to-be wanted to go dancing but I swear to God that she ended up saying later on that night that she had wished we had stayed the whole night there. The only thing that might bother some people is that there really isn't someone to take your order. You have to go order at the cashier yourself and then wait for your order, although somebody does bring it to your table. It didn't matter to me but just a fair warning to anybody who might come with a big group, make sure to bring a pen and paper (The owner did provide one to us so it's no big deal). Overall, if you like comic books, games, out-of-this world burgers, and alcoholic drinks that are delicious and get the job done, then make sure to drop by "Action Burger". read more

Action Burger - Burgers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

If I could give less than a star I would for the owner's cheap ways. My food came over an hour late freezing cold and I live 500 feet away from the place. The owner argued with seamless refused to refund and said would only give a 5 dollar discount, lied and said they weren't able to adjust delivery time estimates however I worked at a restaurant I know that's a lie you're able to do up to two hours for a delivery at which people have the option to cancel the order. I wasted my money on cold low quality food and the owner is probably clinging to my cash because he knows this shitshow of a business is going to flop Update: the owners rude response says it all! I don't appreciate your condescending attitude and why would I want a burnt burger? I know what medium rare looks like. I've worked at a restaurant and therefore KNOW how to use seamless. I never got the update and don't lie to make yourself look good. The food was freezing cold and I live down the block there's really no excuses here just take the negative review like a man and look into how to better your restaurant management. Thank you and have a nice day I also find it really fucking creepy and unprofessional that the OWNER is requesting me on Facebook. Any further harassment to follow and you will be hearing from lawyers. this is absolutely bizarre that they take bad reviews this horribly. Use it as constructive criticism and move on read more

Just got my delivery from here; it arrived 10 min early which was nice- and the only reason this place is getting 2 stars. My mozzarella sticks are basically frozen, seems like they heat them up for a total of 2 min and thought they were fine. Marinara sauce is ACTUALLY bad, it's bitter and smells disgusting. My fries also to no surprise, we're cold. No seasoning, no salt. Nothing. Just cold, bland, mushy fries. Completely disappointment and waste of money. read more

**BEWARE** Any negative reviews on this restaurant's Yelp or Facebook page will unleash a torrent of nasty, immature, and hateful comments directed at you from the managers and their friends. That being said, Action Burger used to be great, but the quality of the food they put out has gone downhill and their customer service skills are also severely lacking. The Food: We ordered a chicken and waffle sandwich, come to find out that they'd run out of chicken (more on this later). We opted to replace that particular item with their new specialty Honey Hennessey Burger. The description on their website sounded promising, but the burger we received was soggy and was missing half of its toppings (Lettuce, tomato, and pickle to be specific). We also ordered two milkshakes (one Captain Crunch and the other Strawberry Shortcake), and we were sent a Chocolate Mint shake instead of the Captain Crunch one, which ended up being fine because my husband still enjoyed it. The biggest issue came from the $22 Super Mac and Cheese Burger Platter, which was quite clearly made using low quality, store-bought, boxed mac and cheese. The order I received was also incorrect. They gave me chicken instead of the hamburger, which I would like to add that there was more than enough chicken in the mac and cheese to make the sandwich I had ordered. Despite all this, the mac and cheese wouldn't have been entirely awful, except it was congealed and the chicken was sinewy. To top off this delightful encounter, the restaurant and its management refused to take accountability for their mistakes and fought back when I requested a refund on the mac and cheese which I opted to send back. It's worth noting that the manager of this establishment is rude and argumentative. So I highly recommend that you avoid this place for your own sanity. And to reiterate what I said above, please be careful when it comes to posting negative reviews of this restaurant online because the manager and a bunch of his friends will find you and harass you incessantly. But regardless of the insults I've received and incessant harassment I've endured, I stand by what I've said here and elsewhere. And I refuse to take my review down (which is clearly their endgame). I will never eat at or order from this establishment again. Not because of the food, because some of it is good. But because of the management. Their behavior is deplorable and I will make sure to tell everyone I know in this area to avoid this establishment at all cost. Edit 1 in response to the manager: I was never offered a replacement for the food, which is what I had originally requested, and that request was refused. I was however offered the option that the delivery driver's tip would be taken and used as the refund, which was refused because it would've been extremely unfair to the delivery person who did his job. Returning the item was 100% okay with me and was expected. Though even if the restaurant opted not to take it back, it would've ended up in the garbage regardless, because it was that disgusting. So I'm glad to hear it's off your menu forever. And as for the burger, your menu on your own website says it comes with lettuce, tomato, and pickle, so you may want to change that if that's not the case. It's not my fault you don't know what comes on your own products. No excuses for a poorly executed order Edit 2 in response to the manager: You ate the food that I sent back? That's disgusting. FYI, I have a cold, and the plastic fork that I left inside the takeout container on top of the mac and cheese was obviously in my mouth as I took two bites of the food. So you ate food that was contaminated by my germs. And no, I'm not wishing the cold upon you. You're just probably going to get it since you put contaminated food into your mouth. This also makes me question if your establishment sends out returned food that you deem edible. It's disgusting to think about. And as for contacting you directly, I refuse to do that because every time I've contacted a restaurant concerning a mistake, people get hostile, as you clearly have. So no thanks. Try not being a piece of lying, human garbage next time and listen to your customers' concerns without becoming defensive and altering the truth. Good day sir. read more

Action Burger - Manager claims that the underlined burger doesn't come with the underlined toppings. This photo is courtesy of Action Burger's own website. - Burgers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I'm am so disappointed by the meal that I had yesterday. My husband and I loved Action Burger pre-COVID, however, the quality of the food slacked significantly. My Honey Hennessy burger had curry in it (I don't know if this is a new addition to the burger but I don't like it). My husband's chicken nachos looked as if someone ordered it before him and they just decided to give him the order (the chicken was dry and the cheese was dry). The reason why I gave 2 stars is because the drinks were really good (I had the henny colada with ice cream and my husband had the cotton candy slushee). I also enjoyed the onion rings. Overall, we hope that Action Burger gets their food back in order because this wasn't worth us risking over lives by indoor dining for the first time during this pandemic. read more

Action Burger - Burgers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I'll be honest, I didn't expect much but my burger was pretty darn fantastic. I got the double super action burger with Swiss cheese, pineapples and chipotle mayo. This burger was a sloppy mess and I enjoyed every damn minute of it. The meat was cooked nicely and was flavored as promised by the menu (25 seasonings). It was large, I needed to take my time to finish it (which means its worth the cash). Certainly the best burger I have had in some months. Despite the burger, their garlic fries were a fail. This place was a bit of a oddity for me. Based on the reviews I thought the food came second to the games, but I feel that it is the opposite. Its neighborhood eatery that caters to gaming only in hindsight. They offer 3 free arcade machines and console games in the back. I'm not sure about the consoles since people were seated in that area. It would have been weird to ask them to move. I get the feeling that regulars have a better grasp on the gaming situation, but that's my take on it. I liked the burger, but I'm not sold on it being a haven for games just yet. I will give it another go around for sure. read more

Action Burger - Amazing burger. - Burgers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

7 stars for the fun, 3 stars for the food (ok, maybe closer to 4). Where else have you ever been able to play the Mortal Kombat II and Street Fighter arcade games for FREE, along with over a hundred other games, while you wait for your deliciously greasy meal of burgers, shakes and other fried goodness? The answer is nowhere. That I know of. Or nowhere as awesome as this. In addition to those two classics, they also have one of those great arcade cabinets that has a ton of games to choose from, including classics like Bubble Bobble, WWF WrestleFest, Arkanoid, Rampage, and too many more to name. Not only that, but they also have a joint NES/Super NES console with even more games. And this is primarily a restaurant, and not an arcade. If video games aren't your thing, they also have a stack of classic comic books at every table for your reading pleasure, as well a bunch of nostalgia-inducing toys and posters all over the place. As if all of this wasn't enough going on, there are two HD TVs on opposite walls of the place playing movies. As if all of this wasn't already enough of a fat kid's dream, we didn't even begin to talk about the food yet. Once you get your bearings from the plethora of entertainment options, you will get overwhelmed once again when you take a look at the food menu. The menu is enormous, with so many different options it's impossible to decide. To make matters more confusing, they have stuff categorized as "Super Villains" and "Super Heroes", which is fun, but random. They have wraps, salads and rice plates, but it's all about the greasy burgers and sides. We tried the Super Action Burger ($6) and the Pretzel Burger ($12). At just $6, that's a bargain for this very tasty burger. Apparently just a regular Action Burger is a burger with 12 different spices, while a "Super" Action Burger has 25 spices. I didn't count, but the patty did taste really good, with a ton of flavor from all that seasoning. It's definitely a smallish patty, so you should load it up with a bunch of toppings. Or, just get the Pretzel Burger, which was ridiculously intense - this burger is loaded with bacon, cheddar, pepper jack cheese, tomato, pickle, lettuce, an onion ring, and spicy mayo, on a pretzel bun. I'm out of breath just saying the ingredients, just like the way I felt after eating it. The bun was a little crunchy on the bottom, which I don't like for a pretzel bun, but the burger was still pretty tasty. There are too many good sides and starters to choose from too, so you should get some to go with the burgers. We tried the Fresh Cut Fries ($3), which were actually pretty bad, so skip those, as well as the Sweet Potato Tots ($5), which were much better. They also have ice cream sandwiches and other desserts, in addition to shakes, which you can get with alcohol in them as well. I tried the Cupcake Kid Shake ($7), which consisted of Oreos, Chocolate Ice Cream, Syrup and Chocolate Cupcakes, and was pretty good, though not as sweet and amazing as it sounds like it should be. The food might have taken a long time to come out, but I didn't notice because I was playing too many free video games. In fact, for the first time in my life, I actually didn't want the food to come out as soon as it did. If you like fun, you should come here. read more

Service = 1 star Food = when not lukewarm and made how it was ordered, maybe ok. DO NOT HAVE THIS PLACE DELIVER TO YOU! Excited to try this place and ordered 2 burgers, fries, and onion rings via Seamless. Estimated delivery time was 45 minutes. One hour later they call me to say that they're having "bike problems" and it will be at least 30 more minutes. This place is literally 6 blocks away, and could've been walked over faster than they estimated. Obviously upset, I decide to go pick up the order myself as the guy on the phone says it will be free and that he'll cancel the order on Seamless. When I arrived he goes on about how Seamless is a problem and they sometimes receive multiples of the same order. B.S. (and totally unrelated to his "bike problem") Also, he suggested that I should be the one who calls Seamless to cancel the order, since he's busy. So order in hand, I go home with my food. Burgers are greasy, which would normally be fine if they weren't barely wrapped in a single piece of wax paper, falling apart and looking unappealing. Even the fries were just wrapped up in a wax paper ball. (see the photos I've added) The food was lukewarm (which was not surprising since it had been 90 minutes at this point since my order, who knows at what point it was actually made in that span). On top of that, the order wasn't even right. My burger was missing some of the toppings that they charge extra for, and instead of an order of onion rings I got two onion rings and some mozzarella sticks. The fries were steak fries, so soggy and not hot. A complete disregard for customer service, and an equal lack of care in preparing or packaging the food, means this place doesn't deserve your business. read more

Super cool place! My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place (hehe, we had just come from Brick Bar and were looking for drunk eats) on a Saturday night and it was surprisingly empty, which is great because it's a small little place with a great setup. There's a few arcade games in the back, including TETRIS, a TV above the bar with a console hooked up, and then the rest of the TVs are up front. Even SNES mini and Playstation mini. The burgers were a little slow to come out, but hot and fresh. There seem to be a lot of rules attached at each station for what could be free-played and what you had to sign up for, but there were only a few others, no line or wait, so we sat at a console and played whatever. The owner even passed out free pina colada shots. I would love to bring my cousins here one day; I just feel like a place of this size means a coin flip to whether or not it will be busy! It's GOT to be super popular and I just got lucky right? read more

Been here twice over the years and wow, I had to make note of the poor food quality, dirty restaurant. We waited for 20 minutes and there were no other customers there. Food came out soggy, room temperature and inedible even though we went straight to our car with the food to eat. Unfortunately we were driving back to Manhattan so we didn't turn around and get a refund like we deserved. I was so embarrassed that I suggested eating here. read more

I was on my way with my dear olé mom to have a late night burger to White Castles when we saw the sign, "Action Burger"! Curious we had to check it out. You smell the fresh scent of grilled burgers and yes it was so time to walk in. The Decor: A nifty place filled with comic book covers on the walls and books to read while you wait or while you eat. Comic books on the table tops. Action figures embedded in the walls along with great flat panel TVs to enjoy and just a really cool dive with great people. :) The Service: Service is pleasant and with a smile. A very nice guy helps me and my dear olé mom choose our burgers. Makes great recommendations and nails it awesomely! Offers the free video games and it was waaaay cool to play street fighter arcade style! The Food: Had the Taradon Burger on the Villan menu and it was kick ass incredible!! Two grilled burgers seasoned perfectly, bacon, onions, spicy guacamole, mayonnaise, crispy chicken too on a beautiful roll. Huge and serious burger for the meat lovers inside us. I loved it! My mom had a regular burger with cheese, onions, lettuce and tomato and she absolutely loved it! We had to have the sweet potato fries and those were delicious too! :) If you want a kick ass serious burger and you want to try something so very tasty give this place a shot. My mom and I absolutely loved it! Action Burger lives up to its name with a super action packed flavor roller coaster for your taste buds! Good stuff!!!!!!!!! read more

Come for the video games, stay because it takes an hour for your food to be delivered, cold, to your table. May it was an off night. I'll go back.. But then the actual burger wasn't even that good... Yeah on second thought, I won't go back. read more

My boyfriend and I came in on Halloween night when it felt like every other suggested eatery incited a 'meh' or a flat 'no'. Action Burger had its odds stacked against them - we were grumpy diners even before we stepped in. Then we saw the vintage game machines that little costumed kids were playing for free. We saw the comic books resting at the edge of each table. We noticed Despicable Me was playing on two HD tv screens - WITH sound (because nothing sucks more than feeling deaf while watching a good movie in a restaurant because the manager decided you don't need to hear what's going on). And last but not least, we opened the menu and gasped at all of the burger options we never knew existed but was now made available for our noshing pleasure. We didn't stand a chance; we were smiling within minutes. The boyfriend jumped over to play Street Fighter as soon as he placed his order, and hopped back on it as soon as the last bite went into his mouth (I now know how moms of young gamers feel). It wasn't because the food wasn't fantastic - they delivered it to our table even though we were three steps away from the counter. My guy seemed happy with his chicken wrap but stared wistfully at my loaded veggie burger...and when a carnivore is eyeing your vegan sandwich, I think that's saying something. I ordered tater tots last minute instead of my usual fries and didn't regret it for a second. I don't care if they look and feel just like the supermarket brand I get at home and bake up in my toaster oven - they were hot, fantastic, and totally hit the spot. At this point, their five stars were already sealed to go, but THEN they started coming around with free samples of a Captain Crunch milkshake (a recipe they're trying out, the guy with the loaded tray explained), and some free shots of their Long Island Iced Tea. Believe it or not, if you come here late at night, they offer bottomless Long Island Iced Teas. So heads up - the prospect of playing drunk Super Mario awaits you here. Great food, awesome people, and totally for you if you're either five years old or wish you were. read more

Cool spot! My gf brought me here for my b-day weekend and we had a great time. There's arcade style games, classic games like Resident Evil & Halo. I believe there was some karaoke too. The burgers were good, food took a while, but it was a cool atmosphere, especially if you're a gamer! read more

This review has been long overdue, and I really owe it to Action Burger to leave them an amazing review. A little nook and cranny place in Williamsburg, this place is a dream for anyone who's looking for an (above average) burger, and some throw back arcade style games. The games are free to play as long as you're a paying patron, and there are classic board games such as chess, monopoly, and battleship to keep you entertained at your table. There are also comic strips displayed under the surface of the tables, and movies playing from two tv's mounted on the wall. I for a while was stuck on ordering the turkey burger; it's so juicy it literally drips when you bite into it. My boyfriend couldn't resist the Mac and cheese burger, and the first time I gave it a try I knew it would be my new favorite. A burger layered with bacon and Mac and cheese???? It's soooo good. A little pricier than the avg burger ($8 vs. $13), but it's worth it if you're hungry. The weekends are way busier as expected, but they're open late so you can be sure to get a good meal and a chance to play the games. PS. try the Mac and cheese bites!!! read more

You better call yo bank and increase yo credit limit before you come to action burger cause you won't remember how much you spent. I knew the food would be gross like, 5th grade sneakin' shiz from yo moms fridge at 12 am... Sometimes it's fun to do bad things, so, go to action burger. I knew this would be good based on the amount of grease shine offa dat flash used in their photography. This place far exceeded my expectations. They spiked shakes so strong you spill dat all ova you before you even get a chance to finish it. It fact they spike whateva' you want! Thank you, action burger. You iz what you iz and I love it. I will come back to action burger but I won't be sober... #bestplacetogoaftertherapy read more
