Great local burger place with orders actually cooked to order. Reasonable prices, consistently delicious burgers and great service. The fries are not only good but generous in size for the price. Looking for something a little different? Try the sweet potato tots that are dusted with cinnamon sugar. Try the black & white milk shake for a bit of nostalgia, try a black & white milkshake. Hands down one of the best locally owned eateries around. Shame on the landlord for allowing shake shack to move in next door. Let's keep supporting our local family owned businesses that have been the back bone of Long Island. My family & I will continue to support Burger City and I encourage others to do the same. read more

Great Burger joint, with an old school vibe. Prices are low in comparison with other places, without taking away from the quality and quantity of food. I had a double quarter pounder and fries both excellent. Don't worry about parking, enough spots to put your car to take out or dine in. A warning ahead of time if you are picking up, when you order online for take out USE BURGER CITY'S WEBSITE!!! I made the mistake by using a different platform and I paid way more for take out, for delivery use another platform, Burger City does not deliver. This spot is legit. Glad I found them during my stay in Long Island. O, and ask for the City Sauce and plenty of it, it's the best! read more

The burgers are really good. They're fresh, and they never use frozen meat. In terms of flavor, I'd say they have some of the best burgers on Long Island. I tried the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese and fries, and everything came hot and delicious. The prices are also very reasonable. My only complaint is about the staff. They seemed a little uninterested and rushed when taking my order. When I asked questions, they gave short answers and didn't seem very friendly or welcoming. I'm giving them 4 stars because the food quality is excellent, but if the service were a little warmer and more attentive, I would easily give them 5 stars. I'll definitely come back for the burgers, though. read more

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

Hole in the wall type of joint. Stick with the basics, burger and tots -- everything else was meh, but for this price so worth it. Get the burger and tots and bacon.. maybe a shake, that's it... actually get the onion rings too read more

The food is great here. If you go to shack shack next door you're a fool. You'll get half the flavor for double the cost. My wife gave burger city a 9.5/10. Really good food! 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

The burgers are excellent and made with fresh (not frozen) meat. I tried the hamburger, onion rings, and sweet potato tater tots. Everything was served hot and tasted delicious. The prices are very reasonable. They have the best burgers and onion rings on Long Island. Definitely go back to try something else. 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

Great locally owned business with good burgers and great sweet potato tots with a bit of brown sugar.

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

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

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

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

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

This place had the best burger around. If you are in the area I suggest that you stop to try thier food. It is not a sit down place as it has minimal places to sit. It is more of a grab and go place. However they are quick and fast to make your food and serve it. I alway suggest a cheeseburger and onion rings. Don't forget to try thier special sauce. Do yourself a favor and skip the shake shack that they built next door. The food is better here. read more

Update: the owner is fantastic. The company resolved my issue. I love burger city but tonight really was an awful experience. We had ordered $50 worth of food which if you know burger city prices is a bunch of food. We got our food and seeing how busy it was decided that with how busy it was we were not waiting for our food to be made again with the amount of items we didn't get was not it. We had ordered 2 diet cokes, sweet potato tots, chicken nuggets, a chicken sandwich, French fries, a boss burger, a hot dog and a double cheese burger. What we actually got was the 2 diet cokes, sweet potato tots, chicken nuggets, French fries, and a double cheese burger. We did not get the hot dog, chicken sandwich, and the boss burger was not a boss burger. This was the order receipt. Honestly really disappointed as that was nearly a third of our total from those items. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 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
