Roll N Roaster Official Hot Dipped American Sandwiches, living the legend since 1970 I'm excited to share a slice of Brooklyn's food history with you, straight from Sheepshead Bay that was conceived by Buddy Lamonica as a drive-in back in 1970. They'd roast the beef and the girls would roll it out to you. Roll N Roaster has been a beloved institution since 1970, famous for its roast beef sandwiches that are the epitome of comfort food. Picture this: tender, juicy roast beef piled high on a soft roll dipped in a natural jus gravy served with a side of golden fries and a rich, creamy cheese sauce for dipping. It's the kind of meal that evokes nostalgia and creates new memories with every bite. The roast beef menu here was doubtlessly influenced by the neighborhood's older, statelier, just-soaked roast beef kitchen, Brennan and Carr. But Roll-N-Roaster is more than just roast beef. Their menu, a delightful mix of classic American fare, features everything from fried shrimp to corn fritters. It's the place where locals and visitors alike gather for a taste of old-school Brooklyn charm. All of the interior is old wood, and everything from the tabletops to the gigantic backlit menu to the many signs behind the counter are varying shades of yellow and orange. There are always balloons near the cashiers, and every time you see the word "please" it's spelled like "pleez." A sign below the menu reads, "We cook to order and your wait will be tastefully rewarded," which is true. While Roll-N-Roaster might be constantly buzzing, that doesn't mean your food will arrive quickly. It's fondly known as the "not-so-fast fast-food restaurant." But that's OK, because you're waiting on quality. And, my god, you haven't experienced joy until you've heard them call your number over the microphone. "864 pleez!" Whether you're a long-time fan or discovering it for the first time, Roll-N-Roaster offers a delicious reminder of the simple pleasures that define New York's culinary landscape.

Food was fresh and tasty. Prices are unbelievably low for the quality and portion size. Definitely transports you back to the 1970s when Brooklyn was a different world. Not as many buns back then. Parking lot is small but an added bonus. A definite experience! Will be going back.

Roll and roaster will forever be the staple in our community! Best black and white shakes, great food, fast and friendly service! Never have any complaints.

This meal slaps! I got the cheeseburger an order of cheese fries and the lemonade. Something bout that Kaiser bread the burger came on made every bite just right. Still have no clue how they manage to keep the cheese fires crispy?! Anywho best lemonade I had in a while. Quick,no frills spot to munch and enjoy!

Fuggeddaboudit -- as in, forget your other dinner plans and just head on over to Roll N Roaster. A neighborhood staple for over half a century, this South-Brooklyn institution has won over the hearts of many native Brooklynites, and it's not hard to see why. Want to be transported back to simpler times with quasi-1950s diner aeshetic? Craving cheez wit any and everything? In the mood for some of the best fast roast-beef sammiches in NY? Feeling fancy and want to pop a bottle of Moet? Roll-N-Roaster has it all, truly. What to get? In order of descending yums: -Orangeade. You read that right, orangeADE, not orange juice. You'll thank me later. -Roast Beef n cheez. Don't question it, just do it. -Onion rings. Holy canoli, these are so crispy and tasty. -Chicken tenders. Crispy and real white breast meat. -Cheezburger Meh: -Fries -- they're wavy and look like pickle chips. On their own, they're kinda meh, but cheez makes it slightly better. -Corn fritters If you needed any other reason to come here, the service is incredibly quick and they're super friendly. Just be careful with the clientele...Southern Brooklyn has that... hard Brooklyn charm.

Great service, great food, & plenty of seating. Roll n roaster is a cheesy and delicious fast food style restaurant. My personal favorites is the cheeseburger, chicken fingers, corn fritters, & fresh brewed iced tea. If you spend a certain amount of money (I don't remember how much), you get a free pizza!!! This place is very big inside as well so there is plenty of seating for people. There is a parking lot as well and street parking. If you love fast food and obviously cheese I definitely recommend this place. Roll n roaster is known for their roast beef and cheese sandwich, but I don't like roast beef, but my friends say it's amazing!!! Also, for your birthday the staff allows you to spin a wheel to win a prize!!! If you're in Brooklyn, it'll be worth it to stop at roll n roaster!

First timer though I have known about Roll-N-Roaster for years. I spontaneously decided to check out Roll-N-Roaster tonight (March 16) and have no regrets. I came for one menu item and one menu item only -- the corn fritters. Based on the photos, the corn fritters looked identical to the corn fritters I remembered eating as a kid at Goodness Steak Restaurant on the Junction. And one bite tonight filled me with so much nostalgia. The corn fritters oozed with cream corn and it's so, so good. The four star rating is solely for the corn fritters I also ordered fries, which weren't anything special and needed salt. I'd skip and that says a lot because I LOVE fries. The onion rings are nicely crisped and would substitute the fries with this. Nothing fancy and very much feels like you've walked into a time machine but that gives RnR its charm. Prices are reasonable and there is plenty of seating. There is a small parking lot that has a one hour time limit.

Came here on a weekday afternoon. There was a line with a few people but it moved pretty quick. The service was great. It's a casual restaurant. You order then sit wherever you want. Now onto the food. I love the roast beef and cheese sandwich! It's sooo good! The roll is amazing! So soft and fresh and pairs perfectly with the roast beef! The fried foods here are great too! Love the chicken wings! So perfectly seasoned and so crispy! You also get a free pizza when you order 45$ or more! My kids love this because it's so thin! Another bonus is there is a parking lot! Not a huge one, but better than none! There's also street parking! Will def be back! Thanks!!

Last night (11/24/23) around 8:15 PM. They were slammed, but the orders came out quickly. The staff is always nice and double checks your order to ensure you get exactly what you want. I'm leaving another review because I had quite possibly the best roast beef I have ever ordered from Roll N Roaster. Order details, RAP (as rare as possible), gravy and cheez. The beef was perfectly pink, warm and flavorful. It's unfortunate that my pic will not due this sandwich justice, but if you're reading this go get one.

A Brooklyn staple! I have been going here since I was a kid. Everything you try here is delicious and prices are great. We spent $65 for dinner (there were 4 of us and we over indulged...) the cashier told us we got a free pizza for spending over $40! The pizza was good and cheesy, super thin crust. A nice touch. You obviously can't skip the cheese fries (and yes the OG fries are back). We got the cheese whiz roast beef and it was good. I wish i remembered to put onions in it. The corn fritters are always delicious. A little touch of sweetness to them. Wings are fried great and come with two sauces.
