What People Are Saying About Pop Burger

In Short – An offshoot of the Meatpacking District post-clubber hangout, POP Burger aims for office workers, Apple store shoppers and late-night revelers (in the upstairs lounge). With its high-modern design, the downstairs counter is cool but confusing: Customers tend to stand around cluelessly without knowing where the line begins. The burgers come in pairs, little five-bite twins lined up in a box. Non-beef options include grilled chicken or fried shrimp sandwiches, thicker-than-usual shakes and an actual salad or two.

DEFINITELY NOT POPPING AT POPBURGER
by tjd09
We went for dinner on friday and it was the worst! Our waitress was the ditziest thing ever! I asked 4 times for a straw and ultimately, had to get up and get it myself....A different server took our order since ours was all over the place like a chicken with no head...When the food arrived, my order was mysteriously forgotten and I had to watch my friends eat while waiting for them to bring my order....one of my girlfriends asked for a glass of water, only to have it slammed on the table by our server....at the end, We paid the $170 check and I had to ask for my change back-I guess she assumed even after her crappy service, she deserved the $30 change to be her tip...i begged to differ....she then had the audacity to approach me as we were leaving to ask if there was a problem with the service...A problem? try several...If the'yre going charge soooo much for burgers, fries and milkshakes, the least they can do is properly train the wait staff....I won't be going bakc there and would NOT receommend this place to anyone...Sooo NOTworth it.
- Cons: servers are lousy, overpriced food and drink

Total dissapointment
by CSMobileUser
I ate at the take away counter downstairs and I definitely don't get the hype. The burgers were pre-cooked sitting an a warmer already in a box. Wilted lettuce luke warm burger and a stale bun. The onion rings were already made and getting cold, not to mention the fact that there worse than the ones you get in the freezer section at a normal store. I love burgers, so this experience was such a bummer

I don't get it either?

The previous 2 reviewers nailed it on the head so let me elaborate a little. I drop lots of money on NYCs overpriced food, but $30 For a shrimp sandwhich, a shake, a soda, a fries and 2 3oz sliders-at a takeout counter. When I drop $15 per person on fast food, "high class" or not, I should leave full.
The burgers were nothing to scream about; they cook a batch and they sit until they're ordered and had some 1000 islandish sauce soaked soggy lettuce. The fry oil had that flavor of a thousand meal flavor.
The place is wanna be trendy. Ordering really was confusing; I mean put a menu on the wall. Worst of all, the staff was poor and the meal took forever. The place is next to Berdoffs; get some service for heavy price tag.
- Pros: I like that wood facade
- Cons: bad Food, Overpriced, bad service
The Details on Pop Burger
When to Go:
The upstairs lounge, with its expanded menu and full liquor service, opens every day at 5pm. Downstairs, try to avoid the noon to 2pm slot, when lines are long and seats are scarce.
What to Drink:
The nighttime lounge scene is fueled by wild cocktails: Pink Panty Pull Down, anyone? Only beer, soft drinks and vitamin water are on offer on the main floor.
