I was skeptical before coming here. For what reason, I'm not quite sure. Perhaps it was the fast food carnival crossover vibe. Nonetheless, I'm pleased to say I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience of Roll N Roaster. Retro and ultimately quite charming, you can't come here and not crack a smile. The nostalgia is so palpable from the signs to the balloons, to the muted orange/yellow/brown color palette. Though I unfortunately did not try the roast beef sandwich, I can say with full conviction that I intend to in the near future. Regardless, after plopping down in an old school booth, the black and white milkshake and sweet potato fries were a perfect summer snack for a hot day. read more

From the scrumptious medium well roast beef with gravy and melted cheese, to the medium well done burger with grilled onions and melted cheese, to the crinkle French fries and melted cheese, and don't forget the mini pizza. Even cold it's DELISH.. Remember to order the homemade lemonade to wash it all down. Great place to eat. read more

Awesome retro atmosphere and great price. Definitely would come back again. Food was great and service was fast.

What a gem from what I understand they've been open for 50 years amazing roast beef even the pizzas better than some pizza places we've had in Brooklyn read more

I live in queens and its out of the way but i do like coming here when i can. Its very old tyme but no waiters and relatively affordable.

Good is good but prices keep going up. Servers are not the nicest and always in a rush and seem irritated but it is very busy. My faves are chicken tenders and fries with cheese. You also get a free pizza if you spend $40! read more

I have had a bunch of friends come here saying that it is a great places to come and grab a quick bite to eat. We decided to stop by since we were in the neighborhood. When we immediately walked in, we were a little overwhelmed by the amount of people there and there was a pretty long line to order food. However, the line moved super quickly and it was pretty easy to find a place to sit and eat. Pretty much you would order your food and then you get a number and then you would go pick up your food at the counter. It did not take too long for our food to come out which was great. We went with chicken tenders, onion rings and mozzarella sticks. The onion rings were really good, they were very flavorful and nice and fried. The mozzarella sticks were def my favorite, the cheese pull from the mozzarella sticks were amazing. The chicken tenders was my least favorite since they were just alright, nothing special. The meal came out to be around $17 which was not too bad since the portions were pretty large. Overall, I can see myself coming back here and I def want to try the roast beef sandwich next time I am here since it looked amazing! read more

Roll-N-Roaster - Overcooked beef . Thinner cottage fries - American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came here for the first time last weekend. We ended up eating raw shrimp and I got a terrible stomachache and food poisoning. My boyfriend ended up getting a stomachache after leaving. It was such a horrible experience. I ordered a couple sandwich rolls and a side of fried shrimp. A few pieces of the shrimp seemed kind of raw when I was biting into them but didn't think much of it until the last couple pieces...and when I took a closer look I was horrified to see they were clear and raw inside. My boyfriend tried to tell them since this is a pretty big issue. Meat shouldn't be served raw! One of the employees poked at the shrimp and agreed saying, "it is raw, this is clear". They acted like we were trying to get something out of it, one guy offered to replace our order but we didn't want anything...and the other guy with the earring said "Oh so you waited until you finished it to tell us?" We weren't trying to get anything out of it, but at the same time, I'm not going to be fed raw shrimp and not say anything?!?! They should take some action to make sure they don't keep serving up raw shrimp but it seems like they don't care. Food poisoning is a heavy price to pay, especially when the shrimp alone was $8. read more

One of the most classic old school spots in Sheepshead Bay. It's like...high quality fast food, and it's good. The corn fritters were my favorite. They have two best kept secrets: their wings and their personal pizza. The wings were really good and the hot sauce they come with was even better (ask for extra). The pizza is unexpected. It's super thin crust and crispy, and tastes like a solid New York slice. I also had cheese fries and a cheeseburger. Ask for cheese on everything and dip everything into the hot sauce. You won't be sorry. read more

After a day at the beach, the family and I drove down a near bay strip seeking a place to get something to eat. After passing so many filled parking spots, we came across this place with a nice size parking lot which "served seafood". We pulled into Roll-n-Roaster. A woman leaving the place shared after I asked for her thoughts "don't judge this place by its cover" and she was right. We walked into this big cafeteria / fast food style restaurant in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. The place had allot of patrons inside (social distanced) and young masked up workers, eager to help take your order. The menu was specific and had varied choices like fish sandwich, burgers, pizza, roast beef to seafood. I was disappointed to see the limited, unfried options available for purchase, but was able to find a work around and added a simple looking salad to my order. To my pleasant surprise, the salad was fresh, crispy and good. We proccessed a food order for 6 people and all of us were pleasantly surprised. We thought it would be like fast food, but it wasn't (oddly). We ordered shrimp, fried clams, mash potato, corn, roast beef, burger and more. We ordered a pizza, snapples, water, beer and 2 cups of wine (you get mini wine bottles with plastic cups). Because of the $ amount of our purchase, we got a FREE pizza, which we all liked. It's thin crust and nicely sized for us all to get a small slice. This place feels and looks like a fast food joint. The food looked like fast food, but it wasn't really. The price point was fair, the place was clean and had several bathrooms and hand washing stations. It was good for what it is, but what stood out to me the most, were the smiling faces of the patrons and the foot traffic. It gave me the impression it's a popular local spot, especially for teens and young adults. I checked out the Yelp reviews today (several days after our visit) and the pictures some people posted are accurate and adequately hows what the food looks like. read more

Oh I love, roll and roaster. I even went to the 50th anniversary and got a T-shirt. The food is really good. Personally I like the sandwiches and fries. I really like the restaurant on the inside. It's very big and aesthetically pleasing. I don't go out there very often because it's not close to my house but anytime I pass by the area I always have to stop in. read more

DONT USE YOUR CARD HERE!! My card was skimmed here and an attemp to purchase JetBlue tickets!! This is why it did receive 5 stars . The last time I was here was about 20 yrs ago. Still has that 60's/70's feel and decor! very clean. Their food is just as good now as it was then! A must try if you're close. We traveled almost 100 mile RT. Just Next time I'll bring cash!!! read more

Very casual, I mean almost trashy looking BUT very clean , the food was okay Don't expect a whole lot and you'll be happy We had the roast beef sandwiches I had gravy on side my husband had the gooey cheese on it ( looks like a heart attack waiting to happen) we shared fries and fried shrimp - they were very good Next time I'm def trying the shake or the pie Al's mode It is just fast food, but they seem organized read more

If you live in the neighborhood, this place is great. If you live in Manhattan or Queens, the long travel doesn't make it so great via the subway. The moment you get off the Sheepshead Bay subway line, you have to walk another 15-20 minutes to the actual restaurant. If you're coming with friends, order everything off the menu and try it because I doubt you're going to make a routine trip every month if you live far away from here. If you're coming alone, bring $50 bucks with you because you'll probably want to try a little bit of everything and then leave and you probably won't want to come back again. That's how I feel about it. I can understand the nostalgic hype this restaurant gets since it's been in the neighborhood for 54 years but the food here is very mediocre. It's pricey as well. My first order consisted of orange juice, roast beef sandwich and cheese fries and that was $20. I don' think this place offers any combo deals. My taste buds were rejecting the roast beef sandwich and I could not eat it. The orange juice was fine but they're in a small size and I wish they were a little more generous. Lastly, the cheese fries was good but nothing special. Any time you dip fries in cheese, it's going to taste good. Since I was dissatisfied with the roast beef, I went back and got another orange juice, corn fritters and hamburger. The total was about $17. I never had the corn fritters before and I really liked it a lot. I recommend everyone to get this if you decide to come here. It's a popular item here and many people seem to like it. The hamburger and bread was nothing fancy and again the total was $17 and you can find better value in Manhattan. This place knows how to price their food and then get you to buy more. If you order the milkshake, ask for another cup because it's a lot and you can split it with 2 or 3 people. I've also had better milkshakes elsewhere. Shake Shack shakes are better. Mr. Softie trucks shakes are better. I really wasn't very impressed with the restaurant other than the longevity. The inside is like a chuck E cheese without the games with a bunch of old timers who frequented this place when they were younger. If I lived in the neighborhood or nearby and I had a car and a family, I would probably come here once a month to give the kids the experience and memories but since this is in the outskirts of Brooklyn and long ways away from me, I will most likely not return. read more

Food is always great and they have kept their prices reasonable-servers are pleasant & courteous. Bathrooms are clean.

I heard this place was iconic and even sat and listened to my coworker go on and on about how great this place is. So of course I just had to give it a try! I honestly tried to like this place but I wasn't all that impressed. Go so far as to try it multiple times hoping it would get better. The lines are long and the service is okay (nothing memorable). I've tried the Burger, Cheeseburger, Onion Rings, Fries, Chicken Tenders, and drinks. The best in my opinion were the Onion Rings and drinks. The burgers were just an over cooked thin patty and bread ( the cheeseburger was pretty much the same with cheese). You can ask to add grilled onions but there are no additional toppings ( at least that's what I was told). The tenders were okay, slightly better than the burgers but again nothing impressive. Overall this place is just mehhh. read more

Very impressed by this place, very cool old school atmosphere, combo of a diner and drive in with a shore kind of vibe. Roast beef with cheese was excellent but still very basic ( in a good way). Nice rolls, tender flavorful beef, nice cheese sauce. Fries were also very good, wavy chip shaped read more

Really good roast beef, the bread wasn't anything special. The gravy was awesome, but get the roast beef without cheese, it's cheese wiz and doesn't blend well. Onion rings were great, order those with cheese on top. Ordering line is a bit chaotic, place is really nice and clean inside, staff is friendly. Definitely worth visiting if you are in the area! read more

After years of hearing of this place, I finally made our way there after picking up a friend at the airport. What they are known for is their roast beef sandwiches on a roll. I got the one with cheese, but it also can come without. The quality of the beef says everything. The beef was juicy, tender and very mouthwatering. What's also good on the menu is their corn fritter bites. Full of corn flavor and filling. If you have room for dessert, make sure not to pass up on the slice of apple pie. It has a nice crisp crust and juicy apple filling. If your entire order is $35 or more, you get a free 12 inch pizza pie. Also if you visit on your birthday, you can spin the wheel by the cashier to win up to $25 off your order The only downside can be the parking lot. It's very small and tight, so if they are really busy you might have to park on the street instead of the private lot. read more

I really wanted to try this place after hearing good things about it from various people. I also really wanted to like it because what's there not to like about fried fast food? Came here on a Tuesday and it was pretty busy for a weekday. Lots of seatings and I chose to sit by the window across from the parking lot because that's where the sun was hitting. My first impression of this place was that it has a very vintage look, which is a nice change from the modern establishments today. However, the tables were quite dirty in the area where I chose to sit. Crumbs were all over the tables and seats from the previous patrons. I ordered onion rings and crispy wings with the hot garlic sauce. The onion rings were very ordinary, wasn't anything special and did not taste spectacular. The wings were crispy and juicy, but the hot garlic sauce tasted like very salty buffalo sauce. I tried to lightly dip my wings into the sauce to get a little flavor from it, but it was still way too much for my taste. And this is coming from someone who has spent four years in Buffalo eating the OG buffalo wings. I ended up just using ketchup for my wings. If you love garlic and hot sauce, this isn't it. If you love buffalo sauce and salt, then go for it. My brother ordered a roast beef sandwich with cheez and fries with cheez. I had a taste of both and think that the roast beef sandwich was also super generic. The bun was soggy and the roast beef was just okay. The cheese fries were of a different shape than what traditional fries are, and it wasn't half bad, but the cheese sauce was a little salty. Overall, everything here was mediocre at best. And for the price I'm paying for, I expected a lot more than mediocre food. I probably understand the nostalgia value people have while eating here, hence the good ratings. However, I'll pass a second chance here as I'm not ready for high blood pressure. read more

Came here for the first time yesterday - December 2020, and it was such an easy and quick time getting my food for take out. The menu is short and sweet but has various types of options so it's not too difficult to find something tasty. I ordered the mozzarella sticks, corn fritters, and side of coleslaw! Everything tasted extremely fresh and was piping hot, and like I said, the service was very quick and simple. The staff was very nice and the place was extremely organized to make the ordering and serving process as covid friendly as possible. Highly recommend coming here for a quick, satisfying take out meal! read more

Good stuff. What a suprise. This place has existed since 1971 and still has a 70's vibe but in a good way. I was wondering if if I was ordering too much food but since I was out here I might as well do so but I did skip on an order of sides. My meal consisted of a roast beef sandwich, a cheeseburger and a soda. The food here tasted very good in my opinion. Even though there seemed to be more bun than meat on the sandwiches it was tasty. The cheeseburger had cheez wiz on it giving it a unique flavor. Not the biggest sandwiches but they charge a moderate price. My only gripe is the soda which cost $2.75 for a cup which was 12oz. or less. ROLL 'N' ROASTER must be doing something right serving the community for 50 years. read more
