The Dry-Aged Cheeseburger

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
