In NYC this might be as good as it gets...

by surfnrg

Same formula as In-N-Out, you can even order using in-n-out terminology... Not quite as addictive, and the consistancy is not nearly the same. Somedays it's perfectly put together, and other days not so much.

The biggest difference is the service and cleanliness. Typical NY attitude here, unfriendly, not so clean cut workers instead of the cute girls at In-N-Out. Chaos in the kitchen and food all over the place is a huge contrast to it's California counterpart. Also I had to take back my burger for them to get it right almost every time (even though the receipt had my order correctly).

Still, it's NYC and for us poor Californians who were woo'd here for the big bux (no other reason to move to this filthy hellhole) this is the closest we'll get without having to deal with the nearly unusable airports.

• Pros: Food is great
• Cons: Order accuracy, and employee attitude just not on par with in-out, dirty

Simple Burger, Real Fries, Cheap for NY

by misderdix

So I used to Live in LA and then I moved to NY and now I'm back in LA. I've had the burger drama and here's where blue 9 fits in. In the city its the best place for a quick burger and fries with no lines, and a side of extra sauce doesn't cost anything. Fashioned after In n Out but still has its own charm, real potatoes in the fries and the burgers are great. It they opened a location in Madison Square Park, Shake Shack would be out of business in 6 months.

I eat here weekly... it's THAT good!

I am a die hard fan of this place. I like the burgers at Shake Shak, but Blue 9's are better. They aren't nearly as oily or crumbly and you don't have to eat them in the cold or stand in line for 20 minutes to get your food. I suggest getting your burger medieval style and slathering on extra mango chili sauce. They really should bottle and sell the mango chili sauce that they provide alongside the ketchup -- it's really good and I love it on both the fries and the burgers.

• Pros: burgers, fries, sauce
• Cons: the dining area needs an overhaul
