This East Village joint features a charming back patio oasis and incorporates the salamander broiler to add a distinctive touch to their menu. Pulp Fiction fans will appreciate the nods to the iconic film in their burger names.
The Burger: The Royale Smash (Tier 2). Beef burger, cheddar & gruyere cheese, caramelized onions, crispy bacon, shallots, and their signature house-made Royale SMASH burger sauce between a smashed brioche bun. The smashed patty is topped with caramelized onions and cheese, then finished under the salamander, resulting in a burger perfectly enveloped in a creamy, cheesy blanket. The two-cheese blend provides a harmonious flavor, the shallots a satisfying crunch, and the thin brioche bun a subtle sweetness. Also available as a double. This is a truly one-of-a-kind smash burger.
Pro Tip: Ask about their off menu Grand Royale loaded with prime dry aged beef patty, sharp cheddar, thick applewood smoked bacon, caramelized onions, and house made chutney on a toasted milk bun. The steak sandwich is another standout option.
The Occasion & Vibe: With Drinks. Their picturesque back garden patio offers a tranquil escape from the bustling city. Inside, the ample bar and table seating area is perfect for catching games on their numerous TVs.
The Location: East Village, East 10th Street & Avenue C.
