nice find
Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon, sat out back on the patio. Very friendly staff, cool layout, chill atmosphere. I had the crispy chicken sandwich and my gf had the burger, both were great but the onion rings were the best I've had in the city. Def heading back.

poor service, poor food
Just got home from Royale with a group. We waited 45 minutes for a round of burgers. Other tables were being served before ours. The server didn't even have the good sense to give us our fries/onion rings while we waited for the burgers. She also forgot a round of beers that we ordered. When we finally got the burgers, they were well done (all were ordered medium-rare) and one had to be sent back b/c it had the wrong kind of cheese. This is a poor, poor showing.

Best Burger in the East Village
Stumbled upon Royale through a 'Yelp' review last year and have been bringing never-beens ever since. All have said it's a great burger. Cool people and nice-looking, attentive waitresses add to the flavor.

For the most part amazing!!!
I have been going to Royale regularly for a while now. I have had everything on the menu (including the recently added items). Every single thing that comes out of that kitchen is amazing. Of course, I usually go for the burger, but I go often enough that I have to switch it up here and there. Anyway, the food is not the reason I decided to post a review. I know the names of every staff member, but I am going to leave this anonymous. Any other regular reading this review will know who I'm talking about. The staff is so amazing except for one girl. She waitresses mostly but is behind the bar on Friday and Saturday nights. This is a mistake. As a waitress, we can somewhat handle her aloofness, but as a bartender, she is just plain subpar. She makes the other bartender run around like a mad woman seemingly doing all the work. The other bartender by the way is great, order from her if you want your drink to taste good. I will cut to the chase. This is an amazing place, great food, great drinks, and for the most part great service. There is only one weak link. Other than her, we love the staff. So, if you are going to go to Royale on Friday or Saturday night, order from the bartender who knows what she is doing. You will know immediately who that is. Otherwise, sit at a table.

Overrated
A nice, better than average burger and fries served in a really cool outdoor garden area in the back. Nowhere near the best burger in the city though. I had a decent meal but was kind of disappointed. 7.5/10 burger.

very good bar burger
The outdoor patio garden was a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed my royale burger w/ cheese. Ordered medium and it was cooked medium. Also enjoyed the fries and onion rings. What set the order apart from other bar burgers was the bun. It was toasted w/ sesame seeds on it. The bun held the burger together so eating was not sloppy. I had Blue Moon on tap w/ my meal. Would definitely go back. Also, the price was very reasonable.

among the best (veggie) burgers in the city!
the veggie burger at royale is amazing! that, combined with the incredible value and great setting, makes royale a regular stop. it is simply spectacular.
