The Bronx Burger House
“If you are first timer, I'd suggest trying "cowboy burger" medium well, with garlic fries.”
“Though I am not a beer oficionado, I noticed an ample beer selection, with plenty of exotic names befitting microbreweries.”
“Our group had a mix of appetizers (fried calamari, wontons and chicken quesadilla) and mix of burger types (Mexican, Cowboy, sliders and turkey).”

The aptly named Burger House, is obviously known for their burgers plus the usual bar fare. I kept things simple and ordered the Spencer $11.95, which includes bacon, american cheese, lettuce and tomato. The burger was made to temp and served on a seedless brioche looking bun; don't think it was brioche though. The burger itself was juicy and very satisfying. The accompanied french fries were natural cut, my preference are usually steak fries, but these worked well with the burger.
On this particular midweek winter afternoon, I sat at the bar, as the restaurant was empty and allowed me the opportunity to have great conversations with the bartender Tex and the supporting friendly staff, Maddie and Marie. Flat screens line the walls of the bar to catch the day's news and sporting events.
The dining area is a fair size with no separation between the bar and dining room. I can only imagine if seated at a table close to the bar it could present a feeling that people are standing or sitting right on top of you.
This nicely decorated sports bar, restaurant located in the quaint neighborhood of Riverdale offers metered street parking directly out front, though residential parking can easily be found on the side streets.
If in the vicinity I would definitely go back.
I've had this place bookmarked for months and my eyes used to light up every time I drove past. On the outside it just looks like the kind of place you can grab a really nice bite at.
So I finally decided to check it out yesterday. The decor inside is simple but clean and looks pretty newly renovated. But as they say, looks can be deceiving and that's about where the positives ended for me. First we walk in and there is no hostess or anyone to tell us if we should seat ourselves or wait to be seated. So after a few minutes of standing by the door ignored by the staff (who we couldn't tell were staff at first because they were all wearing hoodies), we seated ourselves. Then we waited another few minutes assuming someone would bring us a menu. Nothing. So I got up & asked the bartender for some. He pointed me to a bin & told me to help myself. Okay. Our waitress, when she finally showed up, was kind of cold & distant, like she'd rather be anywhere else in the world than at work. But otherwise she did her job.
The menu has a lot of options that all sound just as tasty as the next and the prices are very reasonable for a more upscale burger joint. I ordered a Cowboy burger & anticipated a flavor-fest, but was ultimately left disappointed. I don't know about you but when I order something that hypes up 101 ingredients that are supposed to add flavor, I expect flavor. But overall the burger was bland, underwhelming & dare I say generic. It was a good size though and the onion rings were pretty good. I filled up but I wasn't exactly content.
It's possible I just made a bad burger choice, though my bf wasn't thrilled with his burger either. Since I wasn't wowed with my meal and this place is a little bit out of the way for me, I doubt that I'd come back.
Absolute atrocious service. Our group of 20 had a reservation first thing Saturday morning … and we had only one server who was clearly overwhelmed and struggling. It's unfortunate that management did not give her the support she clearly needed.
It took her nearly 30 minutes to just take our orders … and proceeded to get nearly everything wrong. Drinks were never given after multiple requests, my food order was never put in because "the ticket machine ran out of paper" and then got my order wrong anyway so I never ate.
Yes, 20 is a lot of people but we had reservations. We were there when the place opened so there were only 2 or 3 other tables … and two other waiters standing around most of the time. It makes sense to have one of them help out with refilling water, getting coffee etc.
From the looks of the food and what my friends commented, steak & eggs were overcooked, omelettes were overdone etc.
Very very bad experience.
Unfortunately in Hawaii, there is no such thing as "all you can drink" Sunday brunches. Does that exist?? Yes it does in New York City! So trying this out we went to the Bronx Burger House. You can order one entree, and have unlimited drinks. What was the drink of choice? Lovely mimosas! I ordered the chuck burger as my entree, and it was delicious. Hamburger, egg, bacon, what a great sandwich.
The waitresses were very attentive to us, refilling our drinks promptly. For the Sunday brunch we had great service, and arriving at 11:30am we beat the horde of people that came later. I wish we had a Bronx Burger in Hawaii! The food was delicious, and you can't beat unlimited amount of mimosas on a sunday!
Burgers were good. Not a "must return" or worthy of a "long trip back." Something you can get at any other decent burger spot.
So I went here for dinner one night, weekend night and it's really a shame to see it was pretty isolated.
The nachos were SO GOOD. It was a toss up between the fried calamari and the nachos, glad we chose the nachos. The guac on it was delicious and the chili was YUM.
I had the Fieldston Burger with the bleu cheese. They do not skimp on the cheese thank goodness! It's a pretty hefty burger so I had to wrap it up since I couldn't finish it.
The only negative complaint is that I sat in the corner and the vents were dripping water on my friend's head! It was kind of gross, and it was right after we ate, but we ended up finishing out coffee on another table. He didn't seem so happy about it.
This great burger Join in the BX is not a disappointment its just normal.
The food is great and prices are very reasonable. We had the pony burger and the lamb burger. These are huge and contain lots of meat. Its actually under $10 for a burger and fries. You cant get that at a sit down place only at a fast food joint.
These burger are good, i mean really good but why only 4 stars, well it should be 3.5
1.- Unlimited drinks for Brunch, say the bartender pouring champagne to make the mimosas and her finger was in the bottle tip the entire time. EWK give me a beer instead. Decided to order the Sangria and it was super bad, water-down juice with fruits inside.
2.- Its a cold day 5 outside and the parking lot next to their building its not theirs. I was told it always happens, so why don't you put a sign that says its not yours to your patrons.
I will come back again for brunch, but im sticking to beer and soda.
On their defense, it was super busy but i dont think that a finger should be part of a drink.
Excellent burgers. Staff is always very friendly. Prices are good. This is a regular spot for myself and family. Will be dining here again next time i am in the neighborhood
