I had an amazing experience at Golden K Burgers. Golden K Burgers must be one of the best burger places I have eaten at. Firstly, Golden K Burger has such a good party vibe! It is a great place for not just burgers, but also partying!!! The burgers were amazing. We asked for recommendations from the staff, and she suggested The Classic American, The A1, The Farmhouse, and The Bulogoi Burger. Somehow, we ordered all 4, and unfortunately, I never tasted The Classic American. I could say otherwise for the rest of the burgers. The A1 Burger was an amazing burger, the mushroom flavor stood out, and it had a great saucy flavor. The meat was very juicy and soft. The Bulgogi Burger is not as special, it just tastes like marinated beef, and nothing else. The Bulgogi Burger is not worth the money. The Farmhouse was amazing! It had a recognizable smokey flavor, with the crunchy onion, it became a juicy, smokey, crunchy burger! It was my favorite one, and you HAVE to try it! The french fries were very crunchy and delicious, and the meat to bun ratio was perfect! Even though the whole place was busy, the waiters were super kind and helpful. The whole place was clean, and their sofas felt amazing. Their meals come out faster than expected, and they even have an outdoor area for parties, even though you have to reserve it. Speaking of reserving, you HAVE to reserve a seat, online or by calling. We were very lucky, the place was not as packed and I got a seat in less than 10 minutes, but other times, I cannot say the same. Reserving does not take a lot of time, and can save you a lot of time inside the restaurant since it is packed!!! The inside of the restaurant also feels very cramped due to the small space and the number of customers, so it might get uncomfortable. The bottles are also… weird. For some reason, when we got 2 soda drinks from the glass bottles, there was residue on the rim of the bottle, even though it was freshly opened, I suggest drinking from straws! Overall, I love this place, it really deserves a high score on Google Maps. I highly recommend it as one of THE BEST burger places in New York!

Bayside has so many great restaurants but this right here is a GEM! We tried their cheeseburger and Farmhouse burger and were blown away at the quality of everything. The bun was buttery, the beef was perfectly seasoned, the veggies were crunchy and fresh. The staff were so friendly and kind. Overall 100000/10! Dare i say… this is the best burger I’ve ever had! Definitely coming back to try their shakes and Bulgogi burger!!

Response from the owner

Appreciate you taking the time to call out everything from the bun to the beef. And “best burger ever” is a big statement as we’ll do our best to keep it up the consistent efforts. We look forward to your next visit where shakes and Bulgogi burger are waiting for you!

I had a great experience at Golden K Burgers! I ordered a burger and it was truly special—full of flavor and cooked perfectly. You can tell they really care about the quality of their food.<br><br>After dancing all night—salsa, bachata, and some club-style social dancing—I was exhausted, and this was the perfect place to recharge and get my energy back. As someone who runs a dance studio, I really appreciate places with great energy, and this spot definitely has it.<br><br>I enjoyed it a lot and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Response from the owner

Thank you so much for the kind words—we really appreciate it! We’re glad you enjoyed the burger and that it hit the spot after a long night of dancing. Your words mean a lot. Hope to see you again soon—next time after another great night on the dance floor!

I thought the burgers were a little pricey but when they came out...wow!!! They were worth it. The burgers were beautiful...meat perfectly cooked on a fluffy brioche bun. The farmhouse burger came with beef bacon which my husband really enjoyed. We also ordered the A1 with the sauce on the side and it was yummy, didn't need the additional A1 as the meat was already marinated in it. The lemon cod sea burger was also cooked really well. The fish was flaky, tender, and had a really nice lemony flavor. The fries were all nicely cooked, we upgraded one to truffle fries and another to cheese and jalepeno fries.<br>Our server was really friendly and the bathroom was clean. Overall, a really enjoyable meal.

Response from the owner

Thank you very much for your detailed review about our burgers, the upgrades for your fries, and our staff & facility. We appreciate that you gave us a try and looking forward to serving you again soon. Thanks again for your support!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️<br>I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this burger spot by far one of the best places I’ve ever been to for a truly satisfying meal, the vibe was upbeat and inviting. Even though the place is small, it has such a cozy, classic charm that makes you feel right at home. The staff greeted us with a smile, and the service throughout our visit was friendly, quick, and attentive without ever feeling rushed.<br><br>I ordered a classic hamburger, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The patty was perfectly cooked, juicy, flavorful, and seasoned just right you could really taste the quality of the meat. The bun was soft and fresh, and all the toppings were crisp and well balanced. The fries were outstanding too: golden, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and served piping hot. It’s rare to find fries this good!<br><br>My boyfriend went for the spicy double burger, and he couldn’t stop talking about it. The heat level was perfect not overwhelming, just enough to give it a kick and the combination of flavors was amazing. The portion sizes were generous, and you could tell every ingredient was prepared with care.<br><br>We also shared a rich chocolate milkshake that was thick, creamy, and nostalgic the perfect finishing touch to our meal. It brought back memories of old-school diners, which added to the whole experience.<br><br>What I loved most was how organized and efficient the place was despite being busy. The food came out fast, everything was hot and fresh, and the entire experience felt effortless. The outdoor seating was also a plus, giving it a relaxed, casual feel that’s perfect for hanging out or enjoying a quick date night.<br><br>Overall, this place has definitely earned a permanent spot on our list of favorites. Between the excellent food, great service, and welcoming atmosphere, it’s clear why so many people love it. If you’re looking for a high-quality burger and fries combo that never disappoints, this is the spot to go. We’ll definitely be back soon next time to try even more of their menu!

Was craving a hearty burger and stumbled across this place. I ended up getting the Farmhouse Burger and it was EXCELLENT. I doubled up on the patty’s and subbed the onion rings for regular raw onions. The burger was really tender. I got the blackened fries that were nice and spicy. The restaurant was really clean but the best part was my server Marco. He went above and beyond. Really nice and super helpful. I was torn on what burger to get and he guided me towards the one I got. All around pleasant experience and highly recommend this burger joint.

Response from the owner

The flavors are always on point, and the ingredients taste incredibly fresh. Every bite hits just right.<br><br>If you're after a burger spot that delivers quality and consistency every single time, Golden K Burgers should be at the top of your list.

I am extremely happy that I tried out this burger joint. The only thing I seem to craving right now while pregnant are burgers and this place delivered. I got the American burger and it was amazing. The fries were perfectly crispy and not too salty which I appreciate because of my high blood pressure. The pickle was great that even my 3 yr old daughter loved it when trying it! Hats off to the chef. Will definitely come again. Thank you so much for the abundant portion of fries!

Response from the owner

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that our burgers and fries hit the spot during your pregnancy cravings. It’s great to know that even the pickle was a hit with your little one as well. We'll be sure to pass along your compliments to the chef. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Came here for the first time after a recommendation. We got bulgogi burger, chicken and bacon with avocado burger, mozzarella sticks and smokey lemon, salt and pepper wings. Everything was delicious. Overall, Golden K Burger serves great food, has friendly and attentive staff, and perfect ambiance.

Nice new addition to the neighborhood.<br>Food was delicious. The burgers are double patties, they offer a discount if you just want one patty. I thought that was a nice offer as they are big.<br>I tried their new Bulgogi burger which was delicious!

We are often in Bayside and are always on the lookout for new restaurants to try. Golden K Burgers recently opened a few days ago. Their menu offers many types of burgers (beef, chicken, seafood, and veggie) and the usual appetizers associated with them (mozzarella sticks, onion rings, wings, etc. All of their burgers are served on brioche bun and come with fries, pickle and pepperoncini. We got:<br><br>Po Boy Sea Burger ($17.63): had fried shrimps, lettuce, tomato, pickles, jalapenos and remoulade sauce. We upgraded the fries to Garlic Parm Fries for an extra $2.08. The burger was loaded with huge, plump, and freshly fried shrimps. And it tasted like the shrimp was coated with bits of coconut which made each bite sweet and crunchy. The fries are tossed in parmesan and garlic powder. It was fried perfectly.<br><br>Farmhouse Beef Burger ($17.63): had double patties, bacon, crispy fried onions, Swiss cheese, tomato, and aioli. We upgraded the fries to Truffle Fries for an extra $2.08. This burger was massive! Two people could probably have shared it. We weren’t asked how we liked our burger cooked but surprisingly the burger was done perfectly and exactly the way I like it, which is medium. The burger patties were tender, juicy and had a great beefy flavour. Also, the crispy onions were the perfect accompaniment to the burger. The fries were dusted in truffle powder and smelled delicious. I just wished it came with more of that aioli they put in the burger instead of plain ketchup.<br><br>We each got a free drink as part of their grand opening promo. We really enjoyed our meal and were incredibly full afterwards. I kind of wished they gave out gloves to use because the burgers were soooo juicy. It was definitely a messy meal but worth it.<br><br>It looks like they will have an outdoor patio available soon. I’ll have to revisit to try it out.

It will keep me full all day! Portions were so big I couldn’t finish but my 15 year old son finished it very quickly and took over mine. All the burgers we ordered were absolutely amazing. It was very fresh not like the usual frozen meat patties. I will definitely be going back very soon. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Loved my order from Golden K Burgers! The Golden Pickle Chips were crispy and tangy, and the Beer-Battered Onion Rings were cooked to perfection — both were delectable. The A1 and Farmhouse burgers were cooked to perfection, with juicy beef and delicious toppings. The burger and fries portion sizes were huge. Great quality ingredients and perfect preparation. Can't wait to order again!
