Action Burger is a small eatery in Williamsburg, NYC, that claims to be America's first comic book and sci fi-themed restaurant.
The charming diner serves up gourmet burgers alongside a collection of over 250 playable vintage arcade games, hundreds of Nintendo games and a plentiful comic book collection. The menu reflects the tastes of the establishment. The sandwich offerings are divided into hero food and villain food, with the hero portion providing healthier fare. The more popular villain menu includes the Toragon burger, which boasts two patties with fried chicken and bacon sandwiched in between spicy guacamole and spicy mayo on top.
Not only is Action Burger an awesomely niche themed restaurant, but it also serves as a gathering place for meetup groups centered around comic books, science fiction writing and other geeky pursuits.
