A beautiful burger in a beautiful bar, the bacon jam and fancy sauce add smoke and tang, and the beef - while slightly over cooked - is flavorful and rich. the martinis elevate the mood and create a beautiful halo around the whole experience. A delight from start to finish.

I really enjoyed this burger. Like a better shake shack, the price felt right and everything worked well. I wish the meat had better mouth feel and maybe a bit more flavor - my only negative comment. Loved the bacon jam.

This is about the salt, fat juice and crunch. Everything Cozy Royale is extremely intentional, everything you order here is better than it needs to be. The burger is no different. But if you're looking for juicy meat texture, it's not this one. Although I it is exceptional in flavor, it's a matter of mood and taste. Martinis and fries are spot in.

great bun, perfect ratio to the patty- good amount of sauce and “meltiness” of cheese … and yes Andrew, you know how to throw a damn good party

This was a fantastic burger. I love the combination of the bacon jam, burger sauce, pickled red onions and then the dry aged burger combine to give you a rush of flavor. It may be small but it packs a real punch and is one of the best burgers I've had in a while.

An excellently harmonious burger that has one flaw: texture. I feel the patty may have been overworked/overcooked and had a more substantial chew than this Andrew prefers.

The raclette cheese added a touch of sweetness that balanced the crunch of the meat. The throwback music reminded me of early 2000s Williamsburg when the only burger in town was from Diner. The bacon jam added the perfect pungent punch that was much more delightful than adding a greasy slab of bacon to the burger. The crunch added a bit of a meat cracker feel but it was worth it to experience the full embodiment of the burger as a whole.

A glorious basic burger that transcends its humble origins. The beef is immaculate, the sauce and pickles add tang and texture. The fries are magnificent. The venue and martinis elevate. No complaints.

The ratings are high, not to discount my favorites, but if you are craving a good burger that does not sacrifice on quality, this bit of nostalgia with its American gooey cheese, Russian dressing and snappy pickle is extremely fulfilling. Cozy slaps.

To be fair, I did eat this burger a little cold. It was delicious and was a lovely classic burger. Shake shack with better ambiance. I have been surrounded with weekly mediocre burgers (I have kids so eat a lot of burgers) and it is nice to have one that feels overall satisfying but not mediocre. It’s diner feel made me want to add grilled onions and maybe another pickle. Simple burger I would eat on rotation.

The overall performance of this burger meant business. A well balanced and perfectly prepared smash burger; the texture of the patty was everything you want, thin and crumbly and embodied with that dry aged beefy flavor. The toppings all played their part and would each be missed if they hadn’t made it between the bun; however, I did find there to be a touch too much bacon jam at times overpowering the patty. The French fries would be a quality side to any hamburger and the biggest plus for me is that I was offered mayonnaise for dipping. The wonderful staff, music, atmosphere, and kitschy decor created a welcoming environment every neighborhood would be proud to have.

I could've eaten two 🙊

The tomato jam was a little sweet which I enjoyed but half of the burger was plenty.
