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.

I've heard of this place for a while but have never been there. I haven't had so much fun since college. The foods delicious believe it or not the lamb chops are amazing. Service was prompt and courteous and the drink selection is nice (i don't see many bars with blanton's bourbon) the cocktail list has something for everybody. And last but not least the crowd was upbeat and fun i'm pretty sure i'd do all of them. i liked it...I liked it a lot

Pop Burger is the place to be when it comes to a good atmosphere and great food. The food, especially the Fillet and the Steak were in its self amazing. I left there feeling full and satisfied. I say go for it if you're looking for a place to have great food and a great place.

I went to Pop burger with a few friends, and we had a great time. We tried their special cocktails and they were very tasty. We also had the pop burger and some fries, everything was great, obviously this not a 3 stars restaurant but it s a great spot to chill, have a drink and a small bite. I was surprise to see so many negative reviews about the place. Do not forget that this is Manhattan, and everything might seems over priced. If you want to experience great cocktails and don t mind to pay $15 for 3 burgers go for it. Pop is a cool place.

Save Money:
Order up front: Reasonable prices at the counter nearly double for the same food in the lounge.
What to Drink:
The 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 Go:
The 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.
