  I grew up in sheepshead Bay with the likes of Brennan and Carr Rolls and roadster. You either like onions or you don't and if you do you expect to have a decent amount when I order it online they gave me just a sliver amount , that was almost nothing. I ordered rare like I normally do with this nostalgic type of food. The meat was more cooked than well done Not a pink color on that meat. It upset me because I don't eat it quite often I live in Staten Island now I was hoping to relive my childhood memories from time to time and this was a disappointment, people say you shouldn't compare every restaurant does things differently but when you ask for rare in any establishment you get rare Not well done.

  Stopped in the other night to see what the rave was about. Definitely a must have, the roast beef is amazing and the gravy is great. I must tell you I grabbed it before I was going home and ate it cold and was still amazing. Next time I will eat it there hot and try some of the must other haves. So if you know, if its good cold Definitely how great its going to be hot.

  Food and service are always great here- they’re always friendly which is important to me. We always get the hot roast beef or bruzzer and it never disappoints. Also love their onion rings!!!

  I grew up in Brooklyn and still work there . I have had Roll&Roaster to many times to count. I went to On A Roll tonight for the first time . I am blown away , I didn’t think it would compete with R&R but not only did it I found every item I purchased better . The roast beef I got dry on purpose with gravy and extra cheese. iOS in the side . Their roast beef dry with no added gravy stood on its own , it was extremely moist and when I ate it it actually tasted like roast beef . What I mean the taste of the beef wasn’t masked by globs of cheese and onions , I actually tasted the beef perfectly , I believe their roll is better then the competitors which allowed the flavor of the beef to be tasted perfectly , their corn fritter again was better , they were a little larger and their was no uncooked batter like I usually taste at R&R . The shrimp box was perfectly cooked , large shrimp that were extremely tasty , the cocktail sauce however wasn’t my favorite it was good but more vinegar based than horseradish which I prefer . The fries were larger circles than the other place and were cooked more crispy and more enjoyable , their cheese sauce to dip them was perfect what you would expect . All in all I find on the roll to be the winner between THEM AND ROLL N ROASTER. I can care less about the cheesy nostalgia debate . I also found it more affordable. Roll n roasted is good but OTR is better , RNR does have amazing orangeade good apple pie and clam strips . I also have eaten at John’s deli to many times , Brennan and Carr and they are both amazing but are too different to compare to OTR , they are totally different eating experiences . John’s deli has gone down hill a lot also since new owners , their roast been is so small and measly for $20 now , they even charge $4 for a medium gravy now as well other then the roast beef it’s average at best food . Brennan and Carr is amazing and totally different , everything there is top notch , it has been there over 100 years so they are doing everything perfect . But you have to be in the mood for it as it’s way different . OTR is my new all around favorite beef stop , it has a limited menu but it’s perfect , everything you get is way above average , dare I say the best
