Good Burger

The Scene – This corner shop moves a hungry business crowd through with a rapid-fire ordering process that leaves little time to admire the pretty black-and-white tiled floor and marble countertops. Seating is relegated to a few tables and stools with a windowed street view, and most opt for takeout. Burger shots adorn the walls, and Wimpy, the patron saint of burgers, personally oversees the kitchen. – – The Food – The menu keeps it simple, with burger and chicken sandwiches the main affair. The draw, a sizeable, juicy burger nestled between fluffy buns, gets a lift…

ambiance	100.0% positive	“While it is just a burger joint, I've found Goodburger to be a great place to burn an hour or so on a Saturday/Sunday fall afternoon, as the interior is clean and comfortable, and the widescreen TV is usually tuned to whatever big football or baseball gam”
dessert	100.0% positive	“The fries were awesome and so was the chocolate shake.”
food quality	88.45999717712402% positive	“The three people working the orders neglected to make our shakes and by the time they finally finished, our food was cold.” “I'm sure we will still go to goodburger because the food is very good and really, there's nothing else around.” “give good burger a try and you will see why, it really should be ranked the best burger in NYC!” “It's really the perfect lunch spot burger joint.” “Overpriced, small burgers left me hungry” “the burgers are also the perfect size, not too big, not too small.” “Tasty and unpretentious, the very flavorful meat patty is enhanced even further by the fresh toppings and orderly construction (it doesn't collapse into a goopy mess once you take a bite).” “Their burgers are good.” “It's also the perfect size -- too many NYC burgers are giant chunks of beef that are hard to eat with your hands and don't really give you the "burger experience.” “the lettuce and tomato is always very fresh and crisp as well, so i always get "the works.” “Nothing like a Blue 9 burger, or In & Out on the West Coast.” “Granted, NYC is not exactly a hotbed of awesome burgers, but there are some excellent places and I rank Goodburger above them all.” “The fries were awesome and so was the chocolate shake.” “In my opinion, Goodburger makes New York's best burger.” “must assume it was too great a feat to take a fresh plastic bowl and ladle in some fresh chili.” “Welcome to good burger, home of the good burger, may I take your order?” “the fries are a little too skinny, but overall its great and not overly greasy.” “However, the fries were perfect - crisp and "virtually greaseless.” “The food is still great but now the service has gone downhill and the prices seem to be about 20-30% more than when they opened.” “Unfortunately, the burgers are small and the mediocre bun is what you'd get from a supermarket - not what I'd expect for a $5.25 cheeseburger.” “The burgers, fries and shakes are awesome.” “the burgers are consistently good - juicy, flavorful and fresh.” “Goodburger's burgers are perfectly proportioned and do the job with an order of the excellent fries.” “after eating good burger i was still hungry, it left me craving for some moor food, you should eat a meal before going to this resturant i paid alot of money for this food and was disappointed” “Although, the burger tasted great, the bun was the average 50 cent wonderbread bun.” “While it is just a burger joint, I've found Goodburger to be a great place to burn an hour or so on a Saturday/Sunday fall afternoon, as the interior is clean and comfortable, and the widescreen TV is usually tuned to whatever big football or baseball gam”

Just Plain Bad

by PhantomLodger

So I'm looking for a new lunch spot. Something consistent. Something affordable. Something quick. How bad could a burger place be? Clue number one: one glove. Interpretation: you can wipe your backside with your left hand and still make burgers. Clue number two: cashier is handling money (with glove) and assembling burgers. Ick. After waiting for 10 minutes in the ordering line with very loud, very bad techno pounding in my head, I had lost my appetite and opted for the chili--cheese no onions TO GO.

After another 10 minute wait in a crowd of neanderthals in suits, my chili arrived and I decided to sit down. (It couldn't get any worse, could it?) Onions. I HATE ONIONS. Raw onions are the foulest condiment known to man, yet here they are--a whole stinking pile of them--in MY chili. Return to sender. I must assume it was too great a feat to take a fresh plastic bowl and ladle in some fresh chili. I realized very quickly that my "new" chili was my old chili with the onions scraped off and the stubborn bits covered with cheese.

Loud, crowded, lazy and NASTY.

Pros: None
Cons: Foul, overpriced, loud

by arlene77

OK, as soon as I got in, I didnt know which line was which. I stood around for a good 5 min until I realized where to stand. The counter people were aight, but they still seemed agitated. They charge you for the pickle and lettuce. the burigers are too small. After you place ur order, u stand around and the number that they give u has nothing to do with the one before It is such bull----wont be going back. Goodburger my ---!

thank you!

Arlene :o)

Pros: nothing
Cons: small burgers, TERRIBLE service, and too expensive

Slow, overpriced, tiny portion.

by BedlamBedlam

Wow, just finished my take out burger. Yeah, it was alright, nothing special. But I'm starving, man!

This thing was smaller than what my 3 yr old son gets for a kids meal.

It was waaaay overpriced and I stood about 15-20 minutes in line to get the dang order, the guy showed the bag into my hands without saying a word.

Must mention that the deli-like "number" that you get means nothing. They pick the numbers completely randomly. So you will get a bunch of people who came in after you getting their order in first.

Pretty maddening all things considered.

I am never coming back. I'll give it about a month to survive in Center City Philadelphia.

What a waste of space.

Pros: None
