Donovan's does not disappoint: a juicy burger topped with fried onions is the order of the day (and every day), and you'd be crazy to come here and order something different. Read Full Editorial
My Review by jayf941575993 via Citysearch on 8/8/2014
I absolutely loved my burger & the service. Chris was awesome as always! Reading the other reviews, I wonder if people are confusing the donovans in bayside with this location. I had a burger medium rare with crumbled blue cheese, fried…
My Review by lenaj1635967983 via Citysearch on 5/20/2014
Since the new owners took over the food has been much better and the service too. The burgers are the best, especially after (or before) a Met game with a pint!
THE BEST by beeman2626 via Gayot on 4/16/2011
Great hamburgers Outstanding service.
HORRIBLE SERVICE! AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE! by E L via Insider Pages on 3/16/2011
HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! THE WAIT STAFF IS THE RUDEST!!! AVOID THIS PLACE!!! The waitress was impatient and kept asking us if we were done with our food. We overheard her telling another waitress that we were eating too slow and wanted to…
Love the place! by Lady Tricia via Citysearch on 3/9/2011
Been going to Donovan's for years, have never ever gotten sick on their food. Think it is one of the best places left in Queens to eat, drink and socialize!\r

Fish & Chips are the best not frozen chips made from real potatoes. The…
WORST BOTULISM EVER! by BADFOOD8989 via Citysearch on 2/22/2010
THIS IS WAS THE FIRST TIME FOR ME AND EVERYONE I WENT WITH TO THIS PLACE. WE ALL GOT VIOLENTLY ILL FROM EATING HERE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE FOOD HERE WAS THE CULPRIT. THE HEALTH INSPECTORS NEED TO VISIT THIS PUB MORE OFTEN. AVOID THIS…
who knows why this burger got famous. by SivanM via Citysearch on 5/10/2009
We went because of all the hoopla regarding their burgers. nice place, we happily wait for an extra long time to get our food. And then it came. The kind of burger you would basically get at any diner. I mean, this was below Applebee's…
Great place if you're Irish. Apparently no service if you aren't. Should say FOR IRISH ONLY by Mike789123 via Citysearch on 9/28/2008
My fiance and I were interested in trying the place out. We say the sign claiming it had the best burgers in NYC so we thought why not. We go in and the place looks nice. Typical pub look and feel. We head to the back and were seated…
Great Food, Friendly Staff. Worth the trip. by polinski via Citysearch on 4/13/2007
The burger was as advertised. Compared to the rest of the pubs in the neighborhood, the pints were a bit cheaper. Disappointed that there is no Happy Hour (Not sure why they mention "happy-hour suds" in the description). Definately a…

Brewskies are great and the burgers are awesome!!! Priced just right for the middle class working neighborhood and won't break you if you bring your old lady!!\r

BEST BURGERS EVER!! by honestfoodluver via Citysearch on 6/4/2006
I'm very picky when it comes to food. I saw great reviews for their burgers, and I just had to try it. The reviews were not exaggerating one bit. They have the best burgers I have EVER had!! It was so juicy, so succulent with excellent…

this is where to go where you can eat as cheap as you can to eat home and it is better,great burger and the daily specials are as great.
Great Everything by girlfromwoodside via Citysearch on 3/14/2006
I've been going to Donovan's for years. Great everything. Inexpensive and cozy. They DO NOT take credit cards and Parking IS TOUGH, but worth it. There is a bank two blocks away to get cash if needed.
Excellent little Irish Pub by krench33 via Citysearch on 11/8/2005
There is a big sign on the outside of the place stating that people had voted Donovan's to have the best burger in New York, so being that we moved here just a month ago, we had to try it. It was one of the best burgers I had. It was…
We used to go there once a week by Sandi D via Insider Pages on 9/2/2005
So when I had the cahnce to return there, it still had the same name, but the food was just ok, the prices high, The staff was nice and helpful but with out the food being at least good, the place was nearly empty. Parking is not the…
New Chef Brings Down Local Pub by Adam O via Insider Pages on 8/2/2005
Used to be one of the best Irish burger and beer joints in Queens. Known for great food at fast food prices along with bar. The last few times I was here the burgers were terrible. Apparantly they changed the chef and not the prices. …
What happened? by Liz S via Insider Pages on 7/20/2005
I hear Donovan's used to be quite the hot spot. Unforunately, the bar is now often dead and the food is very bad. The service, although friendly, also leaves something to be desired.
FANTASTIC!!!!!! by tele via Citysearch on 6/15/2005
BEEN GOING THERE FOR 23 YRS, I NEVER ORDERD THE HAMBURGER UNTIL I READ SOMETHING ABOUT IT IN NEWSDAY, WENT RIGHT AFTER THAT, WOW,,REALLY THE BEST I EVER HAD,,
Absolutely Love Donovan's!!! by megcons via Citysearch on 5/18/2005
My parents have been taking me here since I was a child and it just gets better each time. The people are so friendly, the atmosphere is great, and the food is unbelievable. This is the best hamburger you will find in the city or…
