Rogers Burgers — Restaurant in New York

I didn’t even feel like writing this review. Not because the burgers weren’t good, on the contrary, they were dangerously good, but because they’re also affordable. And that’s a problem. Because now I’ve contributed to the very thing I fear: the slow, inevitable rise of the line-around-the-block era. I’ve already seen influencers influencing on-premises, ring lights in hand, chasing clout between bites. The clock is ticking.

But here we are.

Service is friendly, helpful, and refreshingly unpretentious. The food takes a minute, but it’s worth every second. No “how would you like your burger cooked?” interrogation—just a simple choice: “smashed” or “normal.” I chose “normal,” because I still believe in texture, dignity, and the right to a burger that doesn’t resemble a meat coaster.

My Burger Créole came stacked with spicy pikliz, tomato, cheddar, pikliz aioli, and extra bacon, all on a butter-grilled brioche bun that could moonlight as dessert. Juicy, fiery, and just chaotic enough to feel handcrafted. My wife went for the Bacon Cheeseburger—crispy smoked bacon, melted American cheese, pickles (twice, for emphasis), green leaf lettuce, and house sauce, all on a butter-butter grilled brioche bun. Yes, double butter. Yes, she fell victim to the “smashed” craze. We’re working through it.

She also tried the Jerk Wings, which were flavorful but a bit heavy-handed on the salt. Same goes for the Cajun fries we shared, delicious, but clearly seasoned by someone with unresolved feelings about sodium.

Still, Rogers Burger delivers where it counts. It’s the kind of place that knows its lane and drives it like a stolen Cadillac. No frills, no apologies, just burgers done right and a neighborhood vibe that feels earned.

Go now, before the...

My advice is dont order delivery and only eat there when the older man who runs the place is there. He's very friendly and the food has always come out good with him. Stay away if its staffed with young ppl, they dont seem to know what they're doing and have poor customer service skills.

I've picked up food from here many times and it was great. Last night I ordered on grubhub for the first time. The chicken sandwich I ordered was rubbery. The wings I ordered were also a little rubbery and the sauce on the side was congealed and didnt taste good. I went into the shop to return the sandwich and get a burger instead and the young staff was very rude. A guy from the kitchen came out to lecture me in front of other customers about how I should've only taken one bite of the sandwich (I took 3 🙄) and he was doing me a favor by taking it back. Really unpleasant experience that ruined...

When it comes to everything, I would give this place 4.5 stars. This small restaurant is actually a really good place to get a good meal for lunch or dinner. I got the Creole Burger with fries. The fries were very delicious and seasoned well. The perfect amount of salt, although it was slightly inconsistent when it comes to crispness. The Creole Burger was a good 8.75/10. The bun and most of the other condiments were so deliciously perfect and fresh, but the pizlies itself were very mild and not really spicy. So that made the burger a bit underwhelming. Also, there wasn’t a lot of it on there, which made it a bit smaller than I expected but that’s fine. The staff were really great and friendly though. And overall everything was under $15 which is a great deal considering that the quality of the food was also good. Would definitely come back to try some more....
