Roll n Roaster

Roll n Roast
3rd ave and 11th st.
(212) 64-beef

I guess most people think of this place as an Arby’s style roast beef place and therefore avoid it. They seem to have every type of junk food possible here … fish and chips, pizza, chicken wings, fried shrimp, chicken breast sandwich, apple pie and of course burgers.
Before trying the burger today I had come a few times for the Corn Fritters. To my knowledge this is the only place In nyc that sells them and I would easily call the ones at Roll n Roast one of the top 10 fried foods in NYC, From what I make it these are nuggets of cream corn somehow stuck together and deep fried with some sort of nugget crust. They are AWSOME!!!
Ok so onto the burger. They are all cooked fresh to order (and welldoneness preference) so expect to wait 5-8 min. The patty comes out wide, thin and very greasy. Not greasy in a bad way though, its so flavorfull and oh and once it hits your lips, its so good.


They also picked the perfect bun to go along with the grease. Its almost crusty pastry like. If you have ever had an egg and cheese on a thick croissant toasted. The egg grease makes part of the pastry soggy but on the outside the crust still holds and gives you a flaky crunch but it all sort of molds into one filo doughish treat….. I mean that’s what id call it though you probably have no clue what I am talking about.
Ok so what else about this place….uhm its dirt cheep! For starters you can get a burger fries and a soda for 4.95!!!! OK OK here is the kicker pitchers of Bud light for $3.95…that’s right an entire pitcher for less than the price of a single beer at many other bars in the area.

This place is great. If you don’t think you can handle the greasy burger at least come to try the corn fritters.
