This was my second time at Crazy Royale. The first time I walked in without a reservation and the wait was too long, so this time I made a reservation and it worked out perfectly as there was no wait and a good time slot. The space is split into two areas. When you first walk in, it feels more like a bar with window seating and a few booths, but there's a second room in the back with more dine-in tables. Food-wise, there were so many things I wanted to try, especially the starters and apps. I ended up going with the Little Gem Wedge (a great choice), the spicy Italian sausage meatballs (the peppers made it taste really good), and the pork sirloin steak. The steak was the least impressive as the flavor was lacking, and I ended up asking for hot sauce on the side. Dessert, however, was the highlight: the sticky toffee pudding was absolutely delicious. Overall, Crazy Royale is worth checking out, especially if you snag a reservation. Good atmosphere, solid food, and definitely save room for dessert! read more

Party of 4 including my boy. All went for the dry aged cheeseburger since I made sure we got there just as they were opening to make sure we can get that. Not sure if it's really limited to just 10 per day, but we got 4 of them for that day, lol. It was indeed a tasty elevated burger with great flavors. I just wish it had more of the aged beef, since it didn't fill me up (did the ladies and kid). I had to get myself the HH cheeseburger as well, which was also good and finally satiated me:) HH menu is definitely the best thing for locals I assume, who all had cheeseburgers and drinks in their hands. HH shrimp cocktail was excellent with big succulent shrimps. HH dirty martini was great as well, especially coming with the bleu cheese olive! Definitely the aged burger had the better/elevated flavor profile that's a must for tourist like me, but if I was local, I can see myself getting the 2 X HH burger for full satiation while sipping martinis in a friendly service environment! read more

Truly one of the best happy hours I've ever been to! We made a reservation even though it was a week night because I saw how packed they can be sometimes during HH (from 5-7). Everything we ordered was on the HH menu. We started w the glasses of chilled red which hit the spot on that hot day. Then we split the fried pickles as an appetizer and each got our own burger and fries. The breading never fell off the fried pickles and I liked that they were the little pickles instead of chips or spears. Service was attentive even when the place was packed. I had an amazing experience. Cozy Royale is unassuming but has a light, yet moody interior that would be perfect for a date night. read more

The regular burger here is amazing ($22). Savory, juicy and even a tad bit sweet. The pickles, onions, and sauce were great. Didn't pay much attention to the buns. Fries were good. I had their beertini which was soooo good. Not a fan of beer but I've been drinking it a bit and on the hunt for a savory cocktail so the olive juice in this rlly did the job and it was only $6. I asked for more olive juice on the side cuz I wanted more saltiness. Mezcal cocktail wasn't rlly good, not bad but the lime they used in it was too sour/ old and I could taste it so it kinda ruined it for me. Service was good. I'll be back for the burger for sure. Maybe I'll also have to try the smash burger. The vibe in here is like a middle America grandmas house meets steak restaurant. Definitely an evening vibe even though I showed up midday lol. read more

Came here last week for dinner before a show at Brooklyn Steel. The place lived up to the "cozy" in its name, especially since it was a rainy night. Ambiance: 5 Service: 5 Drinks: didn't have any but I'm sure they were great Food: 5 Everyone's been talking about the $10 smash burger special, which is admittedly fantastic. But the highlight for me were the sausage meatballs--best meatballs I've ever had. Incredible flavor and texture (it was slightly burnt on the bottom which gave it some crispiness on the exterior). Beet salad and the sticky toffee pudding were also great. read more

Great service and cocktails. Food is decent, bordering good. We got the tartare which was fresh though too doused in citrus. We also got the bone marrow which was a delight. The steak was well-cooked and fries fine. Service was attentive. But the real stars were the cocktails. Loved the chocolatey drink and their version of espresso martini. Ambiance is cute balance of dark moody elegant but casual. read more

Booked a table last minute & was pleasantly surprised. I've heard about this restaurant for a while & while in the neighborhood I happened to get a table, Their brunch menu is much more limited than their dinner menu which was disappointing We arrived a little earlier than our resy & was promptly sat. After a few minutes we were greeted by our waitress with water. We already knew what we wanted so we ordered the burger. To my surprise it was really delicious, cooked perfect to how we requested. The fries were the real surprise & the real deal. Think they were hand cut, they were seasoned and cooked just to my liking. Really crunch, lightly salted. It did take them a while to make them, so if you're in a rush this place not be for you. If you're looking to catch up with a buddy or need a place for a decent sized group I would recommended stopping here. The restaurant is bigger than it looks from the outside, with a full bar and back room full of tables and booths. If in the area again I would definitely like to try them out for dinner. read more

OMFG YUMMMMMM I arrived in NY and this was my first stop off the plane. I'm OBSESSED. Definitely coming back. The atmosphere? Immaculate. The food? I'm still dreaming about it. The service? Literally perfect. I cannot hype this place up enough. It was a wonderful experience! (Plus I took the rest of the Caesar salad to go and it was even better the next day? How is that even possible?!) read more

Came for the happy hour special that everyone raves about! We shared a French Onion soup ($18), happy hour smashed burger with fries ($10), and a regular burger with fries. The French onion soup was pricey but delicious - might've been the best bone broth I had in a bit. I enjoyed my smash burger and honestly thought it was better than the full sized burger. We came here looking for a classic burger with sesame bun - as so many photos showed, but unfortunately Cozy Royale changed the bun a few months before we came. We are still on the hunt for the best burgers (with sesame bun - duh!) in the city. For drinks, I got the HH martini ($10) and my husband got a glass of red wine. The martini was delicious, and strong. I also got their version of an espresso martini for a night cap. It was honestly too sweet and I wouldn't get it again. Overall, I would come back for the HH special. Definitely make a resy! read more

The food itself was good, which makes this even more disappointing to write. Toward the end of the night, when most of the other diners had already left, we saw multiple mice running across the floor of the restaurant. It wasn't just once, we saw them several times. We considered mentioning it to our waitress, but by that point we had already paid and were honestly just ready to leave after seeing it. I understand that pest control can be difficult in the city, but witnessing mice running around was really disturbing and completely took away from what had otherwise been a good meal. Now unfortunately I understand why their health inspection report says "grade pending" on their door, they had failed. read more

A friend and I stopped at Cozy Royale on our way to an apartment showing and immediately loved the decor and energy of the place. The happy hour deals are amazing with a burger and fries being $10. We also had the fried pickles to start! Not just well priced but delicious as well. The fries were crispy and salted perfectly and the burger was cooked just right with a dreamy burger sauce to top it off. Cannot recommend Cozy Royale enough! read more

Cozy Royale is an ideal restaurant! Grabbed a same-day reservation and had a great dinner with my boyfriend. I tried: + Classic martini + Cold brew martini + Heirloom tomatoes + Little gem wedge + Dry aged cheeseburger + Sticky toffee pudding My absolute favorite bites were the fries and the desserts, though the wedge and classic martini were also fantastic. I'll definitely be back. Would be a great spot for a meal pre-Brooklyn Steel show. read more

True to it's name this place is definitely cozy; think dark wood, booths - an old-school tavern vibe. They have an amazing happy hour - so when we got there at 6:30 it was packed. $10 Martnis and $10 smash burger w/ fries. I opted for Gin while my friend went slightly dirty vodka. NGL a was kind of bummed we didn't get the advertised blue cheese stuffed olives (didn't get to ask if they ran out) but the drinks were cold and mixed perfectly. We ordered the bib salad (a delicious play on a wedge), the dry- aged burger (with raclette bacon jam, arugula and something spicy that really hit it off) and the rigatoni. The burger was the star of the show (all their meats are from meat hook and I think that's where their chef really shines) Rigatoni was fine and we finished the meal with a sticky toffee pudding. Drinks came quickly despite how busy they were and service was 5 star. Will be back . read more

Before coming to Cozy Royale I already knew I was coming for the burger lol. I don't often crave or seek out American food but this is a burger I'd come back for. We made a res and I'd recommend making one here since it was pretty packed the night I went. From what I recall it doesnt need to be made too far in advance! The interior is super cozy and tavern-like and this is great for a group dinner or a casual date. I hear the martinis slap so next time I will definitely get one. Fries were great too and I found myself finishing the whole plate. read more

Cute spot with a cozy decor. We came for brunch and it was busy on a Sunday as expected. If you're coming on a peak day or time, I recommend getting a reservation since I saw some people turned away at even 2pm, when they're close to closing because of lack of space. The cinnamon toast sticks are good, they managed to keep it moist without being eggy. I got the avocado toast and it was a lot of avocado piped on to keep it nice and neat, the Avo was almost fluffy and light because of how they prepared it. I loved the tomatoes and arugula on the side and wish there was more of it. My friend got the burger, what they're known for, and enjoyed it, nothing too much to say about it other than being a good, standard burger. I picked some fries off her plate and the fries were yummy! Freshly made and crispy. read more

This was an alright spot for brunch. I had the garden omelette which came with toast and some home fries. The food was good, but unremarkable.

The restaurant's definitely lives up to its name through the decor though. read more

Cozy Royale. Definitely a COZY Spot. We opted for a seat in the back and it was fairly loud. More of a bar vibe in the front. We started with the Broccoli + Pierogi. I feel like that lacked flavor and probably would have been nice with a sauce. We then got the Fluke Meuniere and Dry-aged Cheeseburger. Both looked so good, but were underwhelming. The fluke specifically smelt like it was going to be the best thing i've ever had, but lacked flavor or spices. Pretty bland in my opinion. Fries were a hit though! ($$ +30) read more

Exceptional. The atmosphere is intimate & cozy (lives up to the name). The service was very helpful & friendly. We had certain questions about the menu and those were answered swiftly. I ordered the Bourbon Cooler as my cocktail and it was delicious and perfectly balanced. For my entree I ordered the steak frites, it came out about rare and I was completely fine with that. The steak was delicious coupled with the peppercorn sauce, the fries were nice and crispy. I'm definitely coming back and recommending the place to friends. Thank you. read more

The name speaks for itself... this place is definitely cozy. Dark woods, dim lighting, and booths with tall separations, create an intimate space for each table. The menu is very small but tasty. We went for brunch and had the chicken and waffles, and the garden omelette. Everything was cooked and seasoned well. The service was good. I could see how this could be a great bar at night. read more

Such a vibey and cozy dinner spot. Think Bernie's but better food and less crowded. Must gets - Baked Clams, a must - The burger (non dry aged) an absolute must - Salad (delicious) - Perogies (amazing) - Anchovies with bread are also really good Misses - Rigatoni, not as flavored - Dry Aged Burger (too sweet for my liking) The service is great and the martinis are excellent as well. Highly recommend a visit. read more

The table ordered the pork chop with hunter sauce and the burger. The pork chop was delicious, tender and juicy, but the sauce was on the very very edge of too salty.

People always talk about the burger here (for good reason it's maybe the best in Brooklyn), but I think the meatballs might be one of the best bites of the year. My only issue was they gave us three meatballs so I had to fight my brother for the last bite. The meat comes fresh from the meat hook across the street and you can taste the difference. There are very few places that I will wait hours for a table for but this is one of them. read more

Overall disappointing. The staff were truly so kind and lovely, but the food was lackluster. While the interior is cozy, the ambience is incredibly overstimulating- everyone was genuinely shouting over the music at every table. If you're looking for a delicious Caesar salad, go to the Snail. (This one was bland, tough kale, and just kale, cheese, croutons) If you are looking for delicious cheeseburgers, go to Blue Collar for a fraction of the price. (The burger was very mushy and the fries were very dry and had no salt, no salt shaker available at table) If you are looking for a delicious sticky toffee cake, go to Colonie. (This one was very overbaked and the cream was sour like sour cream not like a tangy cream cheese, just bizarre and off) If you are looking for delicious banana pudding, go to Magnolia Bakery. (There were layers of long thick banana slices on top so you couldnt really get to any of the pudding at first, component ratio really off) If you're looking for delicious bone marrow, go to Bar Bete. (Bland) I sadly don't see myself coming back here but the staff were awesome. read more

We came to Cozy Royale to try the burger, as it had been on numerous lists and we found ourselves in the area. While it was delicious, I didn't think it was worth the $22 price tag - at that price range I'd likely go somewhere else!

So my initial visit here was personally disappointing (overcooked burger) but my friends loved it, and are generally big fans, so when they invited me to check out Saucy Sunday here, I figured it was worth a shot. Unfortunately it was even more disappointing than the normal meal--and this time I was not alone in this opinion. The advertised $25, three-course "Italian American feast" was basically a tiny piece of bland focaccia for course 1, an arugula salad for course 2 (tasty, probably the only highlight) and a bland pasta--an overly thick spaghetti that was either in a lamb bacon carbonara that was somehow dull and flavorless with tiny bits or meat or, for the vegetarian option, would be prepared in a garlic and oil sauce that frankly lacked garlic--or any flavor whatsoever--served in a slightly gelatinous sauce that had a few cannellini beans tossed in--honestly, it had the consistency and what I'd imagine the flavor would be of the liquid in an opened can of white beans. We thought the salad bowl seemed a bit small for four and asked for a bit more with the pasta and were charged and extra $6 per person, which seemed steep for what we got.  The portions were meager aside from the giant slop of a plate of pasta.  The wine was a perfectly acceptable quality for a bottomless wine night, though I really feel like we had to flag people down to get them to refill the carafe on a night when it wasn't very crowded, as we played a final game of how long can I leave 3-5 pasta noodles on my plate until we can actually get more wine. Wine stops at dessert, which, I must admit, was pretty decent--the strawberry gelato was perfectly fine.  By that point, though, kind of just wanted to get out of there and not consider the price I was about to pay for a meal I was hoping to immediately forget. read more

My friends and I are regulars at Cozy Royale, and every experience is a 5/5. The ambiance (specifically in the dining room) is great for a calm night out or a date night, the service is attentive, and the food is always amazing. I always order Cheeseburger and the Kale Caesar Salad, but everything I've tried there is awesome (they recently changed the burger to without lettuce and tomato, which isn't my preference but it's still great). They also have one of the best martinis in the city in my opinion. read more
