Editorial Review for Pop Burger – by Dana Bowen
The Scene
A futuristic fast-food counter, with a seat-yourself dining nook, attracts local lunchers for quick stops during the day. But at night, heavily accessorized fashion types traipse through the front room en route to the alter-ego lounge, where groups sip pricey martinis on lipstick-red banquettes set behind low, scratched-mirror tables; others shoot pool or chat at the ultramodern bar. Loud beats and artfully askew movie projections complete the vibe. The waitstaff can be hard to track down and uninformed about the menu.
The Food
The fast-food menu is tiny. Two juicy mini burgers are slathered with Russian dressing, cheese and tomatoes on a crusty brioche. The hot-dog duo and super-thick milk shakes stand out, but fries come oily and onion rings heavy on the batter. Lounge offerings are passable, with too-greasy shrimp rolls accompanied by sesame-scented dip and a lobster club featuring citrus-zested mayo.

Insider Tips
Save MoneyOrder up front: Reasonable prices at the counter nearly double for the same food in the lounge.
What to DrinkThe brief wine-by-the-glass list ($8-$12) includes full-bodied favorites, like Nero d'Avola from southern Italy and Grenache-Syrah from France. Cocktails--including the fruity "Pink Panty Pull-down"--embody the spirit of the place.
Know Before You GoThe back lounge is a good location for private parties. Call ahead to plan yours, or to ensure one isn't going on when you're planning to visit.

The service is rude, the place has bad decoration, and the food is heavy (especially the fries). For the quality of food, variety on the menu and attitude of the service, it is definitely overpriced.
Pros: fast
Cons: bad everything else

I went to the lounge with some friends and a great time. Our server was gorgeous and great. the drinks are fun and the burgers are fine for a burger. I would go here for perfect service or excellent food, just a good time. Anyone who goes in there and expects amazing everything needs to get their head checked its a fun bar at night come on. Have fun and be cool to your server and they will be cool to you =)
Pros: Goodlooking people really fun unique place
Cons: confusing bar not burger joint, food is normal
