Royal burger was just ok (according to the hubby), but the wings were delicious, super juicy - would return for the wings!
They also have a really nice selection of sauces. I got the honey bbq sauce for the wings since it was the only dairy-free sauce but I'm sure most of the sauces are good. Like Pommes Frites but more things on the menu for you to use the sauce with.

Was starving and wanted to pick up something quick on our way to the highway (Grand Central Parkway). Hubby was craving burgers and I just wanted food I could eat (can't do dairy at the moment). Called in an order for pickup. Got the:
- Royal burger (single patty beef, lettuce, beef bacon, sunny side up egg, waffle fries, cheddar cheese; chose the recommended awesomesauce for the sauce)
- Extra small order of wings w/ honey bbq sauce (5 pcs - 3 wings, 2 drums)
Hubby's burger smelled really good. I love brioche buns so I was really sad I couldn't try it. The burger seemed to be cooked well-done, wasn't very juicy. Meant to ask for it to be cooked medium well but they didn't ask what temp and I forgot to specify. The yolk for on the burger was fully cooked which i don't think is supposed to be the case if it's sunny side up.. but I guess it's less messy - I gave the hubby the burger in a fork to eat while he was driving lol, but I did drown it in the awesomesauce that was given to us on the side. Hubby said the burger was ok - said there was a weird sweetness he didn't like, but wasn't sure what it was, maybe the beef bacon?
Asked if the wings were cooked with butter or with any other type of dairy and was told no. Decided to just get the extra small order of wings, which had five pieces, rather than the small (10).
They have a ton of sauce options (can't be called AwesomeSauce without having awesome sauce lol), but basically every sauce has butter or some kind of other dairy in it, except for their honey bbq sauce so I got that. Their honey garlic and mango habanero sauces sounded really good though.
Was pleasantly surprised with the size of the wings. Was given three wings and two drums. You could tell they were freshly made. The edges were just a bit crispy. Super super juicy.. made me wish I had gotten a larger order! I wasn't thrilled that honey bbq was my only option for sauce, but it was actually pretty well balanced - a bit sweet, a bit tangy, and had a little bit of a kick, but still manageable for me. Only thing is I wish the sauce coated the wings more evenly so there were no clumps of sauce.
Cute decor. They had Santa hat chair covers, little reindeer on the counter, a bulletin board where they had printed customers' social media posts of their food, and little stockings everywhere.
Seems like they get lots of takeout orders - lots of Uber Eats, DoorDash, etc. signs. You can also order here on Yelp but seems like everything costs a bit more if you order online which is why I opted to call in instead.
Would return for the wings and maybe give the burgers (cooked medium) another shot.
