Editorial Review for Rush Hour – by Amanda Nowinski
The Scene
Hip boutiques and bars on Ludlow add to the artsy, laid-back atmosphere at this Israeli-style takeout and eat-in burger joint. Young neighborhood trendies graze at the counter during the day, while chic, art-house drinkers with heavy doses of the munchies pile in late at night. A small, outdoor eating area makes for a private, comfortable space to study alone or meet up with friends.
The Food
Generously garnished, organic grilled burgers are the most popular dish, but the Jerusalem market-style falafel wraps and Mediterranean salads--layered with beets, goat cheese and walnuts--are equally scrumptious. Meat-phobes are in luck with the extraordinary veggie burger, made from a distinctive blend of chickpeas, carrots and other vegetables and spices. Fresh smoothies and juices perfectly complement the food, and although the soups and french fries feel store-bought, the gooey mozzarella sticks are the perfect midnight nosh.

I used to go here regularly, but the last three or four times I have been the guys behind the counter haven't been able to get my order right. I'm not sure why but the guys there just don't seem to know their menu and consistently get my order wrong. The food is good if they guys are paying attention, otherwise it is just average. They have a great selection of burgers (the Old Lady, mozzarella and pesto, is my favorite) and are open late, but the horrible service is just too much.
Pros: Good menu
Cons: Horrible service, inconsistant quality

Good spot for cheap late night food. Everything is cooked to order and the menu has more than just your standard burgers.
Pros: Location, Food, Hours
Cons: Small
