A good old neighborhood spot that never changes. And that's a good thing. They are consistent and always deliver deliciousness. My favorite go-to is the orangeade, mashed potatoes in gravy, chicken wings, and cheese fries. Come on your birthday to spin the wheel. Lots of seating, they've never been so busy you can't find a seat. It can be good for large groups. They have a parking lot that's kind of small, but street parking is available all around too. The bathroom is kind of tiny, but the food is quick and delicious. Maybe skip the trip to the bathroom here. read more

Roll-N-Roaster - Roaster Beef Roll Corn Fritters Orangeade Arnold Palmer Mashed potatoes in gravy Cheese Fries With Cheez Chicken Wings - American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is a fun establishment. I ventured down to Brooklyn to try out this place after driving past several times. The roast beef sandwich is very tasty. The sweet potato fries are generous in portion. I had to wait a little longer than usual, probably in part because the sweet potato fries were prepared fresh. Originally they gave me mashed potatoes with gravy instead, so I returned it to the front counter and they corrected my order. Part of my order was for dine in, the rest was take home. They were nice to prepare it and have it ready under the heat lamp so it would stay warm for when I was ready to leave. A friend of mine came to play the spin the wheel on your birthday. She won a coin she could redeem at a later date. It was pretty cool. For little kids they also give them a balloon which I thought was cute. Very family friendly and a lot of space inside to do social distance indoor dining. The decor is a time capsule to earlier decades. The menu is pretty streamlined and the staff are nice. The parking lot is a little tight and fills up quickly. They have social distancing signs and when you order there is plastic covered area to protect their workers. The ordering experience was a little hectic because it's not very clear where to order; people are standing around in a few scattered spots. The roast beef sandwich was moist with the gravy, sliced thin and well done according to my order The cheese on it was a bit much; it oozed out and started dripping as I was eating the sandwich. The sweet potato fries were crunchy and hot. They gave a generous portion of sweet potato fries that were super hot, fresh from the fryer. It took a while to arrive but was well worth the wait. This old school establishment was an interesting experience. While eating the sandwich, I did not think it was too salty but after my meal my afternoon was spent sipping water. I'm not sure if it was from the fries or the sandwich itself. Other than that, I had a pretty good time. Next time I will probably go for a roast beef without the cheese. read more

Worth the hype. Phenomenal roast beef sandwich, fried, lemonade. With a side of cheese for dipping. Love the no frills atmosphere and they seem to have the order and pick up system down to a T. Definitely coming back read more

My birthday was Oct 19th i went for lunch with my sister on the 18th after calling and they confirmed I could spin the wheel the day before, so we get there and the man claiming to be the manager that day stated I couldn't he was then very nasty to my sister ,I am allergic to seeds and he gave us a roast beef sandwich with a seeded bun after stating I couldn't have seeds he told me if I wanted the experience he would allow the wheel to be spun but I couldn't collect the coins ....I am going there since childhood and have never been treated so poorly in my life ...it was definitely not a great experience, staff were coughing with no masks or gloves on clearing off the tables. I don't think I will be returning ...very disappointing read more

The food & service are good. The ambiance is Kid friendly. We usually do take out & never disappoints. Expensive but worth it.

Corn fritters are soo good!! Super crispy outside and soft inside with bits of corn and cheese. The wings were really crunchy and a little salty for me. Fries with cheese was super yummy but I recommend eating it when it's hot (it gets cold pretty quickly so definitely eat it as soon as you get it)! Mozzarella sticks are soo good - cheese pull was on point!! Also got a orangeade, tasted like orange juice and no hint of lemonade but it's still really good orange juice. read more

First time here because it's so far out. Heard they're famous for their roast beef sandwich and fries so that's what we got! The roast beef sandwich is cooked medium rare, and very juicy. It's not a lot of meat, but enough to be satisfied. It's juicy enough that the juice soaked through some of the food. The sandwich itself is $5.95, which isn't expensive nor cheap. The cheese fries were great, good amount of cheese but not smothered in it. The fries were circular and made great if you wanted to dip it in the excess cheese. Cost $3.95 which I'd say is a little on the cheaper side for cheese fries. Chicken tenders ran $5.95 and only came with about 5 pieces. Probably the thing I regretted ordering since the tenders weren't too big nor exceptionally great tasting. A decent place for a quick meal but not some place I'd go out of way to come to. read more

Roll-N-Roaster - American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Roll-N-Roaster as an institution. It's been around as long as I can remember. Although it's been here forever I had only been here once before. Today. I figured I'd stop in. Parking lot is super helpful in this area. I ordered the roast beef sandwich since that is their name sake. Also got fries which are small hand fried potato disks and some fresh squeezed orange juice. The roast beef sandwich was tasty. The slices are thin and they are covered with a very tasty gravy on a fresh home made bun. I know everything about this sandwich is done right, but I am not much a fan of roast beef and had to add some ketchup for flavor. The fries were tasty and the juice was good. The staff are friendly but the place is still somewhat dirty. Overall it's worth visiting to experience this Brooklyn landmark. Oh, and if you like cheese on everything, this is your place. read more

Roll-N-Roaster - Roast beef sandwich, fresh squeezed orange juice, french fries (mustard and ketchup) - American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I come here every time I go to the movie theater to grab a quick bite before the movies. I came here the day before my birthday and asked about the birthday wheel. They only let you spin it if it's the day of your birthday and the day after. What a bummer! This place is big with a lot of seating. It is like a cafeteria. You order at the counter and seat yourself. There is a parking lot outside but there is not a lot of spots. I had their roast beef sandwich before. It was pretty decent. Might've been better with cheese but they do give a good portion of rose beef. My go to order is the western burger. I like the combination of the cheese, barbecue sauce and onion rings in a burger. What sets them apart is the bread. Another favorite is the sweet potato fries. The orangeade is also pretty good. read more

As a kid growing up in Brooklyn, Coney Island used to advertise POP (Pay one Price) $5.95 to ride all of the rides. Afterwards, we'd grab hot dogs at Nathan's, pizza or Roll-N-Roaster. This is a true Brooklyn staple (My Brooklyn-French Wife is screaming Brennan & Carr), I'm a Roll-Roaster kid. This food isn't fancy. There are no short rib, aged burger blends. What you're getting is an honest to goodness, freshly cut, hot roast beef sandwich. You can add cheese whiz or Italian cheese but for this Italian kid? It was the best thing in my world growing up. I had to take my son here for lunch. Both him and his brother were born in Smithtown Hospital. I tried my best to hit up the old spots but somehow Roll-N-Roaster slipped thru the cracks. We walk into the same spot my grandparents did ordering lunch. The menu board font is still the same, thankfully no one updated the place. That's a good thing, You can get a little nutso in here but we decided to keep it old stool, (2) Roll-N-Roaster Roast Beef sammys on a kaiser roll and fries. I ordered sweet potato and he ordered potato french fries. The sandwiches come to us, man what a treat. Freshly cut roast beef on a roll. Heaven. The french fries are shaped round like pickles, its always funny to see. How do they get the same yield cutting it that way I will never know. I'm watching families come in with their kids, construction guys, take out orders being picked up, Roll-N-Roaster has been a neighborhood staple for generations. I'm glad to see its still in operation after all these years. read more

How in all my years of being in Brooklyn have I never been able to get to review Roll-N-Roaster. The decor looks to be like someone unearthed a time capsule from the 1950s where drive up service and neon colors were in vogue. That said, the decor never looks tired, just very retro given the care they put into it While some controversy exists over whether Roll N Roaster makes the best Roast Beef Sandwich or if Brennan and Carrs does, my answer is to just get both and enjoy the different ways each approaches the fine art of sliced beef. At Roll N Roaster, the best (And in my opinion, only) way to go is getting a roast beef sandwich with a bit of vinegary hot sauce over the top. Don't be alarmed that the bread is a bit crusty - Roll N Roaster fresh makes them every morning so there's no preservatives in the bread. Furthermore, if you're a cheese lover, any menu item can have cheese put on it (I'm assuming this even extends to the soda, but have never been bold enough to try) read more

I truly love the food! A very homemade feel. The staff work hard so there's Not long of a wait . Greatly recommend.

It's classic Brooklyn joint almost a landmark. Place is always clean, their roast beef with cheese is soooo good. It's usually fast service coz it is fast food. Definitely recommend. read more

Always busy and I know why! I usually always stick to the chicken tenders, cheese fries, and lemonade but they have pretty much everything. Known for their cheeseburgers and the fact that if you order over $35, you get a free pie! A good tip is to combine bills if you're going with friends since things are pretty cheap and that's the easiest way. read more

Best roast beef sandwiches. I have been going there for over 40 years and they are still great!

I should have ordered the highly recommended roast beef sandwich, but I was never a fan of roast beef so I went with a grilled chicken sandwich. I asked the cashier if that was a good option and she said yes, but I was surprised to see it just literally a piece of grilled chicken in-between 2 buns. I was expecting something else-- like maybe lettuce/tomatoes? Is that too much of an expectation for $4 something? The chicken was dry and burnt with charcoal, which I would have complained about but seeing that sign "check your order before your leave" (or something of that sort), it sounded too customer-unfriendly. I also ordered fries and opted out of the cheese (sounds like the fries & cheese is what everyone was raving about), but I was still disappointed. The fries came out sort of hard/ not potatoey which I wasn't a total fan of. On the plus side, there is parking and they make their buns daily! This would be a good option to eat at due to their convenient hours, but I did not think the rating was consistent with my experience or I should have ordered something else. read more

Always delicious for a quick bite to eat. Everything is delicious. And they even have parking.

Was driving through Brooklyn coming home from an upstate trip and decided to stop by. All I can say is I am nothing more than absolutely satisfied with my experience. I got the roast beef with cheese (which is what they are known for) it was fantastic! The roast beef was cooked perfectly and the homemade buns were very soft. I ordered a side of the corn fritters and cheese fries as well, both complimented the sandwich very well! HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

We enjoyed grabbing a lot of things. Seems like that's the strategy for people coming here for the first (or 81st) time. In summary, the good was: roast beef, rehydrated mashed potatoes with gravy, fried clam strips, soft drinks, including bottled water that is not a ripoff The not-so-good was: blah cheez (sauce) burger and the french fry discs. All in all, we did okay and enjoyed watching three spins of the birthday wheel. Local flavor definitely on display. read more

If you love cheese, Roll N Roaster is a must when in Brooklyn. It is the only one that exists in the world! They are known for their roast beef sandwiches which I have recently tried, I usually always get the cheez burger. The roast beef sandwich was good. It wasn't the best, but it was good. The roast beef was a little tough and dry, which made for a messy sandwich experience because I had to pull pieces with my teeth rather than it being tender enough for me to chew Into. The flavor was pretty good though. The cheez burgers on the other hand are my fav! The edges are charred while being juicy and soft on the inside and the buns are always fresh and soft. They are thin patties, so don't expect anything on the thick side. Don't let this stop you from ordering though, because they are flavorful and hit the spot. My other favorite from here is the corn fritters! They are so crispy, not greasy at all and the inside is filled with creamed corn. Yummy. The fries here are oval shaped along with the little paper ketchup cups, which makes them unique and memorable. They are also your classic crispy outer edge potato, soft inside and extra delicious when doused in cheez. Also they have the BEST lemonade. Period. The slogan here is "cheez on anything you pleez" which.. I mean. Is pretty amazing if you ask me. Give this place a try if you are in Brooklyn! read more

An institution...that maybe should be mothballed. Was looking forward to trying their famous roast beef sandwich but it was quite disappointing--not very big or especially interesting. Everything was on the small side and forgettable. I can see how it would be fun for a crew of teenagers--or if, for some reason, you want a bottle of Moet with your fast food, but otherwise.... read more

Pros: price, beer sold, by the water so nice for a walk after in the area, roast beef/ food not bad while hot, free pizza as a bonus if meal over certain cost, Known as Brooklyn classic so cool to try due to cultural roots in area. Lemonade was tasty. Cons: slightly overhyped but good overall, especially the roast beef and lemonade. Free pizza tasted free, nice add on but barely edible and I eat anything. Looks far better than it tastes. Also asked if they had any other types of cheeses, was told that they have Swiss and mozzarella, then asked for Swiss in place of the yellow cheese. Was given the same standard cheese that they put on everything anyways. When brought to their attention, at first first lied to my bf and said I didn't request that, when we had a whole distinct discussion about the cheese choices. If they didn't have a variety that's fine but just say that or if you forgot just own up to it. Then when I came over and clarified the conversation we had just had a moment ago about it, it then switched to her and a fellow employee lying in sync, claiming that this was "Swiss cheese but just yellow" when it's clearly not. Didn't even taste like Swiss, let alone the visible differences. Points lost for customer service/ lying rather than practicing integrity and keeping it pushing. read more

Unbeatable Prices, Fresh Made to Order Food, Plenty of Parking! Conveniently located right off the Belt pkwy, I was so excited to try this place on my way home from a week out of state! It took not even a minute after getting off the Belt to find this place and it was simple getting back on after my meal. Another plus is the parking! There's a private lot, I came early and there were plenty of spots but if you come when it's super busy there should be street parking available. The Prices are out of this world, especially for NYC! If you spend $35, you get a pizza free! The Roast Beef Sandwiches are prices WAAAAY better than any fast food chain. There were so many places to sit while inside eating. The restaurant itself was extremely clean & well taken care of. The service was quick & to the point! My order was 100% correct and came out smoking hot. The Food was so delicious! I'm really not sure why anyone would go to a fast food chain when this place blows them away! I tried a Roast Beef with Cheese... amazing! The beef wasn't over cooked and was super juicy. The bread was incredibly fresh & the cheese on top made the sandwich taste amazing. Also liked how there wasn't an over abundance of gravy on my sandwich, it wasn't soggy at all. I also tried the corn nuggets which were tasty & a pizza which was a great appetizer for sharing. The food exceeded my expectations by a mile! Overall I'm so happy I finally got to try this place! I will absolutely be back. read more

Came to pickup a busted fridge from them (by my employer) and decided to grab lunch being the food looked good. Looked like a nice environment as well. I was very let down when I went to pay and was denied because my card did not have a chip. They said they couldn't swipe my card. So I was embarrassed in front of other customers and had to walk out and was not able to purchase what I ordered. They need to fix that problem. I was very disappointed. read more

THE New York staple.. this best roast beef and cheese ever, the fries are unique and delicious and $2.75 beers!!!! I will def be back!!

If you've never been to Roll n Roaster you have not lived your life. Roll n Roaster has been around FOREVER and it never changes. The quality is always the same, taste is always the same, and sometimes no change is good. I always have a cheez burger, cheez fries and root beer. It's always been my go to meal and I never switch. Why mess with perfection? This place hasn't been updated in years but why bother? That's what makes this place. The staff wears the same brown uniform as from the day that place was opened many moons ago. I love the classic feel, vibe and predictable menu. No matter where you grew up you'll always see a familiar friendly face. read more
