Top Best American Restaurants in Garden City

"This local chain, repeatedly named “Best of the Beach,” is known for two things: its tasty burgers and its family-friendly atmosphere. There’s only one thing to say after you try the OMG burger—which tops two beef patties with hickory-smoked bacon, Swiss and cheddar cheeses, lettuce, tomato, mayo and fried onion strings, stuffs it all between two fried egg and cheese sandwiches, and puts two giant fried onion rings on top—and that thing is “OMG."

And don't leave without documenting your vacation on the wall!"
