We’ve gone here a few times now. Prices are very good. Drinks and shakes, sides of fries and onion rings are worth it. As far as burgers, the quarter pounders are better if you want it meaty. The regular burger patties, even with double, don’t fill the bun. Pickles, onions only. No other veggie topping options. Fish filet was good, with tartar sauce. Knish is pretty dense. Filling. Fried Shrimp had 6pcs, breaded. Was just ok. Hotdog is plain, so will pass next time. Grilled cheese is a disappointment. Just cheese in burger buns. Service was friendly the first time we were there. Fast and efficient. Order at the counter and pick up when your number is called. Some tables out in front, but mostly for to go. Restroom available on the side of the building. Has a parking lot or residential nearby.
I know … it looks like school lunch if you’re an 80s kid I have to say though, for the price, it can’t be beat. The burgers do actually taste good. I got a cheeseburger and a quarter pounder with cheese but after trying both, I would stick to the quarter pounder. More meat and you get a bite full of it. I got the hot knish and onion rings on the side. I don’t know what a hot knish is and didn’t bother to look it up. Only that people recommend it. Its potato. I guess if I were to redo my order, I’d skip the onion rings and French fries. Do the hot knish and burger and soda. Done. It’s a very simple menu. Grab and go. Just a note - entrance door is on the side where parking is. Don’t be a doofus like me and walk around the perimeter just to find out I parked right IN front of the entrance
Glorified McDonald's and I mean this is a very good way. The burgers are clean and dont give you that icky feeling you get after eating Mickey's. Fried shrimp was so good and the fish sandwich too. Well worth it!
All American Drive-In is a true Long Island classic and an absolute neighborhood staple. Their menu is simple, affordable, and everything you want from an old-school burger spot. The burgers are always fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of that nostalgic flavor you can’t find anywhere else. People come from near and far just to get their hands on these delicious burgers — and once you try one, you’ll understand why. The fresh-made fries are incredible: crisp, hot, and the perfect pairing to any meal. And the milkshakes? Thick, creamy, and absolutely delicious — one sip brings you right back to childhood. There’s something timeless about the whole experience. From the quick service to the classic drive-in feel, All American captures the charm of a simpler time. Despite the crowds, everything moves quickly and efficiently. The staff is friendly, the quality is consistent, and the atmosphere is pure nostalgia in the best possible way. It’s the kind of place you crave and the kind of place you bring friends and family to so they can experience it, too. If you love great burgers, great value, and that iconic old-school charm, All American Drive-In never disappoints.
I’m not a big fan of Long Island (I'm from from Brooklyn) but when I do go, I try to hit one of the best burger places I have been to “All American”. This place is always crowded, but the service isn’t slow, they run it like fine-tuned machine! There’s at least 15 people in the kitchen pumping out orders as fast as they come, it’s amazing to watch! I used to deliver hamburger buns here when I was a kid, and used to look forward to going there, because the burgers, fries, everything, were fresh and were extremely delicious! IT IS THE SAME DELICIOUS FOOD AS IT WAS YEARS AGO!!! I got a quarter pound burger with cheese (even though everyone swears the “double double” is the best) fries, hot dog, onion rings and a knish. Yes, I ate all of it! THE QUARTER POUND BURGER- Not too much fat, just enough, juicy, very flavorful- the meat was not overwhelmed by the cheese, you tasted every component of this burger, even the pickles! This is what a good, wholesome classic cheeseburger should taste like… AMAZING! THE FRIES – Nothing artificial here, freshly cut and fried every day! Crispy outside, soft inside, not too greasy, little salty – Damn… These are some excellent fries! THE KNISH – YES! “The Knish” You don’t think you’re going to get a good knish from a burger place, but this was a classic well-made knish! The outer crust was slightly crispy, golden and tasty, with a soft, mildly seasoned little thicker than mashed potato consistency inside - perfect! Not a thick crusted, golden brown “Coney Island Knish” but just as delicious, I was pleasantly surprised!!! I’m not going into everything else they have and what I ate, because I myself would not go to an amazing burger joint and order the fish fillet, even though, wait… MAYBE I SHOULD TRY THAT NEXT TIME!!!
This. This is what America is all about. Burgers. Melted and made to perfection. Crispy fries. The thickest chocolate milkshake you will ever have in your life. Absolutely incredible. We found parking at the restaurant and the wait (which started around the corner iykyk) was NOT bad! From wait to having your food hand delivered less than 20 minutes. It is along the main road so it can be loud, but I think this is such a nostalgic summer hang spot!
All American is a classic must have on Long Island. The food is always consistently good and comes out very quick even with a line of people. All friends and family visiting Long Island always ask to stop in to have their double doubles,cheese knish,fries and classic shakes.
Simply good burgers, freshly made fries and thick shakes
