Everybody loves burgers, and everybody loves retro games. So what happens when you put them together? You get a great restaurant that has something for the whole family to enjoy. Enter Action Burger in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It might just be the best video game restaurant in all of Brooklyn, or maybe even New York City—especially for lovers of retro games. To learn more, keep reading, below.
Action Burger was created by the author and publisher Vlane Carter, who set out to create a heaven for geeks of all ages, with great food to go along with the great decor and games.
At Action Burger, diners can choose between “villain food” and “hero food.” The difference? Villain food is mostly fried and decadent—think burgers and fries. Hero food, on the other end, comprises for healthier options like veggie burgers and Turkey burgers. Whatever a diner chooses, they will get a winning result.
There are also outside-the-box food options that the whole family will love. What about the crunchy Nutella burger, which exists between two deep-fried waffles? Where else are diners going to find that?
Visitors of all ages will also enjoy a wide variety of video games—everything from rare Atari and Nintendo titles to more contemporary fare. For parents, it will be a trip down memory lane. For children, it will be a fun way to engage with a bit of video game history.
Action Burger is full of geeky details that the whole family will love. There’s plenty of GI Joe figures, video game references, and comic book details. There is even artwork made by locals.
For a great time in Brooklyn, check out Action Burger. While in the area, why not also check out Brooklyn Flea, which we think is one of the finest flea markets in all of New York City. And for those looking for a place to stay around Action Burger, we recommend Moxy Brooklyn Williamsburg.
