On A Roll
My family founded R-N-R in Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn. I was always in there with my grandfather when I was a little boy. You can say the restaurant business was introduced to me at a very young age. After college, I managed the Brooklyn location in the mid 80's. I learned a great deal about the concept from cooking, ordering, and day to day operations. There are many facets that go into running a successful restaurant. Our On-A- Roll concept derives from many years of restaurant experience. I owned and operated pizzeria's, deli's, bagel shops and white tablecloth Italian restaurants.What we want to make crystal clear to everyone is that we are in no way shape or form affiliated with the Brooklyn location. We do things entirely different

βBefore I talk about the food, I want to say, all the employees were super nice and the atmosphere was great. If that was the only thing I was based in this review on it would be a five-star review. I tried the roast beef medium rare with onions and cheese and the pork sandwich with onions. I also had a side I believe of their disc fries. Roast beef was definitely of high quality. Although the gravy and the sandwich itself did not have enough salt, there just wasn't enough flavor. I would say the same thing for the pork sandwich too. Fries were not crispy, unless they're not supposed to be, they also lacked salt. Cheese seemed overly salty which was the only thing that kind of added flavor to anything. Although, I enjoyed my meal but I'm not sure how somebody else would feel. Also tried their chocolate chip cookie. That was delicious. Overall, I would definitely try the food again. Maybe this batch was not seasoned as well as it normally is.β

βMy first time there and I meant to order their roast beef but couldn't resist their Lent Combo Special. It was a great value and delicious. I got the flounder sandwich, circle fries, and a Starry fountain drink. I'll try the roast beef next time. We got to talk to the owner who is a down to earth and friendly guy. I love supporting a small business that values quality and customer satisfaction.β

βIf you're serious about roast beef, On a Roll is the place. The roast beef is perfectly cooked, tender, and stacked high on a fresh roll that makes every bite incredible. Hands down, the BEST roast beef sandwiches around. Joe, the owner, takes real pride in what he does, and it shows. Great food, great service, and a local spot that truly delivers!β
