"Burgers, onion rings, and sports. That’s what this place is about, and if you like two out of the three, you’ll be into Royale. Even if you only like one, actually. And if you don’t like any of those things, just sit at the bar, drink a beer, and stare at the wall. There are worse things to do with your time. Overall, this is a pretty ideal place in the East Village to eat ground beef and watch athletes do some things you assume you could do but, in reality, cannot. Also they have a backyard." - bryan kim
