I have been here several times over the years and I think it's a solid burger joint. The place is essentially a fast food place, the seating is very cafeteria like. The place is good for a quick meal, not really a place to wine and dine. They do a TON of deliveries. It's also a tad pricey, the cheeseburger combo was close to $10 bucks. Also, they opened up a sister store in LIC a few years back but I have yet to try.
The food:
#2 Cheeseburger combo- the burger is cooked through, I do wish there was other options. There is a whole slice of onion but it's not too strong but gives a great crunch and also adds a nice onion flavor to the burger. The burger is lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese and a sauce that is like thousand island or a mayo ketchup combo. The burger isn't that big, but they give a shit ton of fresh cut fries. The fries are good, not greasy, good flavor, I just wish they were a tad crunchier. yelp.com/user_local_phot…
Petey Melt- it's pretty much a grilled cheese with a burger patty and sauteed onions inside. I thought their melt was solid. It was nice and gooey and the onions offered a nice sweetness. I am a fan.
Double Cheeseburger combo- I think the double is a solid choice, very beefy, very cheesy, very oniony. I like it but I think I like the single more. It throws the bread and beef ratio out of whack. yelp.com/user_local_phot…
I came here for a quick bit and I have to say I was pretty impressed with how great the food was. For someone who doesn't eat meat I can actually say that I had options! There were three veggie style burgers, it was quite delicious. I got a burger with the size of sweet potato fries and it was nicely done. They meal in all was super flavorful. I hope to come by soon for more.
This place is great!!! The burger is nice and juicy. It is well seasoned. I ordered the cheeseburger. It was oh so good. I love burgers so this place hit the spot. I met the owner who is really nice. The staff is friendly and the decor is simple and nice. Definitely going to stop by the other location on Vernon Blvd since I am in the area. Havent tried the fries but definitely next time. Go to Peteys for a great burger.
I like the raw onion. So Shake Shake is still my favorite fast food burger, but Petey's is solid. I would say slightly above average: 3.5 stars.
I'm definitely a fan of this place. As I am of any burger place that will give me a burger in a lettuce wrap. Yes, I am also a fan of In-N-Out. The fries here are awesome and the portions are HUGE which is good for my tastebuds, if not good for my waistline. The shakes are delicious as well. My only gripe is that I find it to be just slightly overpriced for a a fast-food joint, but not outlandishly so. It's not a place I would go every night, but it's worth the price for the occasional treat. I recommend sharing with a friend if you get the California style fries. There's no way it's safe for one person to consume that amount of calories in one sitting.
This is a no-frills, solid cheeseburger joint. For about $10 you can get yourself a cheeseburger, fries, and soda, which certainly isn't bad considering the quality. Fresh patty, melted American cheese, crisp veggies (i.e., tomato, lettuce, onion), lightly toasted bun, and a Big Mac-esque special sauce make this cheeseburger a tasty delight, if not a particularly original one. (I probably should get the Petey Melt next time, as that burger seems a little more out-of-the-box.)
Their fries, however, are really top-notch. Thin, crispy, with the potato skins intact, these are the type of fries I want whenever I'm eating out. And generous portions are always a bonus.
I probably would have rated this 3.5 stars if I could, but I'll certainly be back if/when I have a cheeseburger craving in LIC.
Best cajun fries ever. 'Nuff said. I have a palate for spicy so if there's an option for cajun fries, I always go for it. And Petey's cajun fries are out of this world – tingling-the-back-of-your-tongue kinda spicy AND come in the form of a legit mountain. I couldn't finish mine and had to ask them to bag the rest up for me to take home.
So if you feel eh about burgers, at least come here for the cajun fries.
Speaking of burgers though, I got the cheeseburger and thought it was delicious. Size wise it looked about the same as In-N-Out or Shake Shack. As for quality? I can't really say, since I don't remember being impressed by In-N-Out, and Shake Shack's burger quality varies with location imo.
Service: I went in on a weekday evening and there were probably 3 customers there, none in line before me, but there was still a bit of a wait on my food. Which is probably a good thing as that means they make it on the spot. They were pretty nice about me asking for a bag for the rest of my fries, and afterward offered to bus away my tray for me. Other than that, pretty standard of fast food joints: call by receipt number, self-serve condiments and utensils, bus away your own tray, etc.
p.s. please don't snatch the entire ketchup bottle and hog it at your table. Be a decent human being and use it at the self-serve station first.
Ronald McDonald gets a culinary boner when he sees Peteys show up on Seamless.
And let's be honest, so do I.
Being a regular at delivery, I recently paid a visit in person. It was like a dream had materialized.
Admittedly, after frequenting several breweries and a distillery one Saturday afternoon, Peteys was the best answer to the only question I cared about, "What can fill me up and also be delicious yet not over priced?"
Peteys is worth the cheat meal,
If you're on a diet.
If you don't believe me,
Just try it.
Delivery's worth the wait,
The burgers will meet their fate
It's better off they're not like, "super-size" it.
