The Scene – Fast-food chic invades an otherwise dreary stretch of Seventh Avenue with striking results. Exposed brick walls, a bright orange and red color scheme, and butcher-block tables strike a harmonious balance. Though patrons order at the counter, food is delivered to the tables, and service is quick in spite of the written warnings that made-to-order food takes time. – – The Food – In trendy fashion, the farmed source of the meats is listed on a prominent chalkboard. Though the combinations seem endless (14 in all), the main conundrum is beef, turkey or veggie.…

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:: If you want your burger anything but medium well, you have to ask.
Dine at the Bar:: If you're dining solo, try the lengthy bar that overlooks the open kitchen.
What to Drink:: The restaurant has regular soda and Boylan's sodas, but the hand-squeezed lemonade is a special tart treat ($2.50). Beer and wine ($4-$5) is also available.
The Extras:: You can have a double or a triple burger for $2.50 or $5 extra.

Sorta Good

by Laryssa Symthe

I walk past this place all the time so i had to give it a try. The food was average and definitely overpriced. I wouldn't give it another try unless they made some serious changes.

Excited to see 'grass-fed', a bit pricey

by GermanGirlWithCurls

I was super excited to find this little grass-fed gem in Chelsea during our recent trip to Manhattan. My husband had a beef burger topped with egg, cheese, and some other goodies. I was delighted to find toppings such as 'egg' on the menu. I had the turkey burger. It was very juicy, rare for a turkey burger. The bun was quite greasy, and the burger itself was not very big and cost around $10...without fries or a drink. If it had been a $6.00 burger, I might have given a 4-star review. The food was good, the atmosphere was great....lots of leg room (rare for Manhattan)...but the food was not worth the prices, especially if you're looking to 'pig out'. Overall okay,

Pros: Grass-fed!! Pretty Tastey, Lots of Variety on Toppings
Cons: Prices!

Other faved fried accoutrements include sweet fries, regular fries and onion hay. Black and White Milkshakes and Blueberry Pomegranate shakes also appear. Full review from DMANBURGER to come.

Overpriced & average

by anthonyleuci

the burger was decent but definitely not worth the price. It didn't even come with fries. Not much better than fast food places. I would not go back again.

Best burger on 7th Ave

by burgerlover2

Best burger I've had all year.Being new to the neighborhood, I have been searching for a great burger. Found it at brgr! Not sure what grass-fed means, but it sure is good and melts in your mouth. With bathing suit weather behind us, you have to try the shake. It gets three WOWs. Staff was busy, but kindof friendly. pricey, but worth it.
