    Nothings changed and thats what makes it amazing. The commercials were classic for Knicks games. The roast beef and cheese is a south Brooklyn staple. On a hot summer day the lemonade is everything.

    2nd time here and I enjoy it every time. This is the Brooklyn version of In N Out with the simplistic and great tasting menu options. The service was very quick and organized. Had a very nice diner ambiance vibe to enjoy the food!

    Had seen a video of this spot pop up on my FYP and when I showed it to my Dad he told me he grew up going there when he lived in Brooklyn. Such a cool, nostalgic spot. Heads up: parking lot was horrible, so definitely plan to try for street parking. Got the classic roast beef sandwich with pan drippings on the side and it was good. I've never had gravy or anything like that with my roast beef sandwich so it was completely different taste for me, but it was delicious. The place itself felt like stepping back in time though. Would I drive all the way back for it? Probably not. But if I'm in the area again would I go back and try the burger which was also highly recommended? Possibly, if I got a good parking spot!

    We don't spend a ton of time in Sheepshead Bay because it's a little out of our way, but we love a post-beach adventure at this Brooklyn landmark. It's huge, it's affordable, it's the most casual (good for when you're in a damp, sandy bathing suit), and it rocks a menu that hasn't changed in the past decade, and maybe not in the past half century. I don't know anywhere else that you can get a glass of wine for $4.95 these days, or a beer for $4.45. Order whatever sounds good to you, but know that: 1. You should get cheezburgers. I personally prefer their simplicity to the roast beef, even if the latter is what they're known for. 2. You should also get roast beef. At least once, and definitely dipped, or with the gravy on the side. The gravy makes it. 3. The rolls are all baked from scratch. Appreciate some fresh bread, in a world where almost all affordable burgers come on a potato roll. Yeah, sometimes it may not be quite as fresh as others, but I still love it. 4. Yes, you can get cheez on anything you pleez. And you should. 5. You should add on something you've never gotten every time. Wings, clam strips, a fried shrimp cup...It's all going to be way more affordable than you think, and likely the best or the worst. Someday I'm getting the bottle of Moet for $59.95. To celebrate just being at Roll-N-Roaster. 6. You shouldn't sleep on the pizza. Yeah, it's not GREAT, but it's pretty solid, and it's somehow $4.95! It's thin crust and it's perfect for kids. And this isn't a personal pizza, it fed four kids with some leftovers. Unbelievable steal in 2025. 7. You should get at least one milkshake (to split, probably). They use a full pint of ice cream in each, and they are amazing. 8. Lastly, you should go on your birthday so you can spin the wheel. I don't care if you aren't trying to drink $4.45 beers on your birthday, it's a tradition. Roll-N-Roaster is a classic. Get in there before it's gone, or you'll regret it.

    Growing up in Queen taking the trip to Roll-N-Roaster was a birthday tradition. You spin the wheel, get your Roll-N-Roaster coins and have an excuse to come back again (as if the food wasn't enough of an excuse). Now that I've moved away it's become a requirement to stop in. Their milkshakes are to DIE for. They're packed with ice cream but blended into a smooth and silky drink. You won't find fries like this anywhere else in Brooklyn. They're round crinkle cut fries that are the perfect ratio of crispy and salty. Make sure to get them with cheese!!! Their mozzarella sticks are gooey and have a cheese pull that stretches for miles. Every other side on the menu is fantastic so you really can't go wrong. Plus they give you a pretty large portion. The star of the show is the Roast Beef Sandwich. Like the fries you're gonna wanna ask for it with cheese. It feels like Roll-N-Roaster hasn't changed its interior since opening in the 1970s and I wouldn't want them to because that's part of the charm. I wish I had been around when they would roll out your food on skates.

    Heard about this place forever and finally went, the vibes were cool but the food just felt like cafeteria food to me. My friend and I took a trip and this place is pretty deep in Brooklyn, wanted to do a comparison with Brennan and Carr and for me, both were kind of a let down. Also, I found this meal crazy expensive, everything total was just about $40. Root beer, Lemonade, roast beef, onion rings, fritters and tenders. The food: Roast Beef N Cheez with Onions- This was the main reason for the trip and while the place makes their own bread, I felt this sandwich fell kind of flat. The meat cheese and onions were OK, nothing to write home about. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=2Ioy1A4wNpMeEWKgSO2Ihw Onion Rings- These were good rings, prob the fav item of the day, they were crunchy and not oily. Golden Corn Fritters- Pretty standard, just tasted like canned corn with a thick batter. Feels more like something you give to kids. Chicken Tenders with Sweet and Sour- I didn't like these, the batter was weird and the chicken was dry, tough and pretty lifeless, the sauce tasted really cheap and didn't help at all, hard pass. Lemonade- This was actually excellent, I really liked the lemonade.

    Dropped in for a quick lunch for Mother's Day. Love the 1950's feel of this restaurant. Super clean space and pleasant service. I had the fish fillet, it was good but wouldn't have again. Sampled the smash burger, really juicy and tasty. The lemonade!! My fave go to beverage, freshly squeezed and perfectly sweetened... sweet potato fries were yumm. Also had 2 orders of their famous wings ( brought some home to the kiddies) they loved it. It wasn't enough haha overall a great experience.

    Only the best!!!!

    There's no place like roll-n-roaster!!! BROOKLYNS BEST! This place is a staple! You must come here! The roast beef sandwich is out of this world! Delicious! Fries, mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders, onion rings are just a few of my other favorites! Oh gotta get a lemonade, so tasty! & if you go on your birthday you get to spin the wheel! Service is fast! Lots of seating inside. My husband got the best one- $25 chip towards next purchase! So cool! If you spend a certain amount of $ you get a free thin crust pizza. It's delish too! LOVE this place so much! Go check them out!

    Lemonade, Orangeade, Cheese Fries, Fries, Pizza, Chicken Sandwich and Burger
    Sherry S.

    I haven't been to Roll-N-Roaster in years. I decided to go since I was in the area. I ordered the Orangeade for myself and the Lemonade for my nephew and niece. We had Cheese Fries, Fries, Pizza, Chicken Sandwich and a Burger. The pizza was overcooked and it didn't taste good. Everything else was good. I enjoyed the burger. It had bacon and BBQ sauce. The service was fine and the food didn't take long to be ready. It wasn't crowded and they played nice music. It was good to visit after all of these years.

    Food: This is an iconic roast beef sandwich restaurant in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. The food is delicious, especially their roast beef sandwich and turkey sandwich. I would highly recommend trying their roast beef sandwich. The roast beef is moist and juicy. They add gravy to the sandwich which makes it even better. I think this place better than Brendan and Carr, another famous roast beef sandwich restaurant in Brooklyn. You can request to add raw or cooked onions to your sandwich as well as cheese. The turkey sandwich doesn't seem like anything special but is also very tasty and served with side of cranberry jelly. The turkey is moist and perfectly cooked. The place offers many other items including a fish sandwich, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, onion rings, fries, pizza, corn fritters, milkshakes, and other desserts. Service: The staff are really friendly and work efficiently to put together your order. Ambiance: This is a fast food style restaurant so you order your food at the counter and find your own table. There's no table service. There is plenty of seating in the restaurant and a few tables outside as well. Overall, I would highly recommend this spot!

    This place SLAPSSSS!!! Was so hungry I forgot to take a photo of the AMAZING, delicious and JUICY roast beef sandwich with cheese (of course), cheese fries (OMG the shape of it, the crispiness, one of my fav fries ever), and their lemonade and ice tea is 100%. I love that everything tastes homemade, in house. Their bread is even made in house! Fancy condiments cost extra like honey mustard. Not for ketchup obviously. The thin personal pepperoni pizza is not the best you've ever had but if you're craving comfort food, it hits the spot! Friendly staff, cash or card accepted (same price for both). Line seems long but it goes by fast so know what you're gonna order. Love their system with the microphones, so you can hear your order # anywhere from the place. Chill, fast food vibe dining space. Neighborhood staple, one of a kind, unique, and delicious spot! FYI, have the best driver in your friend group drive there. Make sure they know how to park cuz the lot gets busy and tight!

    This is a historic institution for locals in Brooklyn serving classic roast beef sandwiches. The space has a retro diner ambiance with a large parking lot that is packed. The service is quick deeming as a fast-food restaurant where many dine-in at. When you spend $40+, you also get a free Thin Cheese Pizza ($4.95 value). Between the two of us, we each got a Roast Beef n' Cheez ($8.95), Cheezburger ($7.45), Onion Rings ($5.75), Fries ($4.75), Iced Tea ($3.25), and Diet Coke ($2.95). First of all, make sure you eat the pizza first while it's still hot and melty. Once it got cold by the end of our meal, the cheese was hard and dough tasted like cardboard. Considering it's free, I'm not complaining; but eat it while it's hot! For the infamous roast beef roll, this was delicious with the cheez. Honestly, I am getting an extra cup of cheese to dip everything in next time. This was filling and the meat was tender and easy to eat. The fries are chip-like, which is fun to eat and great for cheez dipping while the onion rings are thick and crispy. Overall, I enjoyed this meal a lot and can see all the nostalgia it brings.

    Very big space to walk around and pick your seats. The orders get called through the intercom, so you can hear your order no matter how far you sit away from the counter. The prices are amazing and the food is good.

I tried looking up this pizza from Target Richfield for a review, but it sent me to the NYC location, so forgive me if this review is in the wrong thread. Anyway, wow. I've been to New York City and ate at the original Joe's Pizza. What an epic slice of pizza. Now back home in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the great white north of snow that never ends, I finally tried the frozen Di Fara pepperoni pizza from Target no less. Sorry Joe's, but this is on par with your pizza (if it was frozen). Dave Portnoy was right with his high review. This pizza is very good. The thick cut pepperoni, great basil, and the crisp chewy crust was excellent for a frozen pizza. Nice under carriage as well. I cooked the pizza at 480 degrees in an electric pizza oven for 10 minutes, and the result was very good. I added a drizzle of hot honey, and it was spectacular (okay, I also added some fresh picked jalapeños as well). The pizza was hot and melted in the center, and the crust was very crisp, but still had some chew. Wow. This was the best frozen pizza I have had. Bar none. New York, you spoiled me when it came to pizza. Now I can get a taste of New York at home. Great job! I may or may not eat the last 3 pieces currently sitting in the fridge before bed.

Dom has now passed but his legacy continues. I've always compared the then pie vs now. And like most things,, nothing beats the original. This is still a very good slice. I once rated them as the best in NYC. Unfortunately, its not at the very top but still on the podium. Coming back feels like you are saying hello to an old friend.

Also- the Spumoni- it keeps at a nice consistency in the freezer, unlike rubbish American ice cream- which gets like a rock. The only other Spumoni I buy is from Corona. They're both phenomenal in their respective rights. When asked by non-NY'ers which pizza is my favourite- this is number one for Sicilian- not heavy at all. The crust is light, airy, and flavourful. The cheese to sauce ratio is perfect- not swimming in greasy cheap cheese. I have the same standards for Neapolitan Pizza. We can discuss that elsewhere.

The person found his manager to talk to me about this. They were super friendly and explained to me the situation. This location only sold vegan options in full pies and their other DOP Fast Life location does sell vegan slices, but they didn't try to push me to buy. I came back today and the staff today were also very welcoming. Ambiance 5/5: Rustic red brick interior with warm lighting. It was definitely bustling on a Friday night. Food 5/5: Delicious pizza. I do regret that I ate it cold after driving 30 minutes to pick it up so I did not get the full experience. But the crust was still crunchy. I do wish the toppings were a little heavier but the tomato chunks in the sauce tasted very fresh. A very classic New York style pizza and I couldn't even tell it wasn't real cheese. Vegan garlic knots were great too.

    I have never been to this one until we were unable to get into the recent concert for Tame Impala…read moreand this was a quick stroll from the arena. My daughter and I love Patsy's and if there is any pizza we want to get while in the city, this is a no-brainer. I love how classy and old-world the inside of this place looks. It makes you feel warm in the colder months, and refreshed in the warmer ones. The pizza always arrives still bubbling and with a beautiful undercarriage. They NEVER disappointed us and I would rather spend $200 per person here, than for the overpriced Tame Impala ticket.

    Patsy's Pizzeria delivers where it matters most: the food. I stopped in with a party of three…read morearound 430pm. The Margherita pizza was perfect. Fresh mozzarella, a nicely thin crisped crust, sweet tomato sauce, and fresh basil makes this simple pizza taste great. The fried calamari also impressed. It tasted notably fresh--light, clean, and not overly chewy like pre-frozen versions can sometimes be. While I can't say for certain, it had that just-prepared quality that makes a difference. The Caprese salad was a great way to start the meal, with fresh tomatoes, creamy burrata, and a balsamic drizzle was a nice light start. The atmosphere leans old-school Italian, which adds to the charm and character. Service was fine--nothing remarkable, but no major issues either. That said, my overall rating takes a big hit solely for the restaurants ridiculous tipping policy choices rather than the food itself. The automatic 20% gratuity added to the bill was frustrating. The menu does indicate that 18%, will automatically apply, or will be 20% for parties of six or more. We were only three people, so it felt inconsistent and unnecessary. On top of that, the added cost for credit card usage didn't help. I don't mind tipping for good service! In fact, I tip well--but I prefer having the choice and I'm old school so it's the principle of the matter. Being forced into it, takes away from an otherwise enjoyable meal. Bottom line: the food is strong and worth trying, but the billing practices leave a bad taste. If those were adjusted, this could easily be a higher-rated experience.
