What People Are Saying About Burger Heaven

Featured Review

Contributor

In Short – – This Manhattan mini-chain has been grilling them up and slapping them down for more than half a century. Remodeling has given the restaurants a more futuristic look, and television screens entertain the burger-munching crowds. Patties are served on toasted buns along with red relish, red onions and pickles. Fries are crisp, but there are plenty of non-burger options, including lobster salad, mixed salads and pie.

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
Unlike other diner-like establishments, Burger Heaven only does breakfast from 7am to 11am. After that, the only egg dishes available are a variety of omelettes.

Ok burger

by picky_taste01 at Citysearch

I don't recommend getting it delivered unless you want your cheese to congeal to the plastic lid and come completely off your burger.

my entire order didn't go through, but they managed to charge me a $20 tip in $18. The burger itself is Ok considering NY is an unlikely place to get a great burger. the pickle was soggy as was the lettuce. Overall I don't think I"ll get a burger from here again considering the price.

  • Pros: arrived quickly
  • Cons: wished it hadn't arrived

Good Food IN HOUSE - HORRIBLE Food for Take out!!!!

by agapi524 at Citysearch

I've been in here for lunch - food is good and usual manhattan prices and service is good. BUT take out is HORRIBLE!!!!! They are beyond cheapies when it comes to take out food. Their website is very limited on what you can order - does not include their full menu. I ordered french fries with mozzarella cheese and brown gravy on the side. $4.05 - just for fries - so i figured they would charge me a little extra when the delivery person got here for the cheese and gravy. They charge me an extra .61 cents (doesn't make sense) which i would have paid at least a $1.50 more anywhere else. BUT here is the kicker - they bring it to me in the smallest container in the world!!!!!!!! I got so ripped off its not even funny! the gravy was a small little round container enough to hold two packets of ketsup. The container was so small a sushi place wouldn't even be able to serve sushi in it!!! - that's how SMALL it was. If I were you - stick to eating in and FORGET about take out!!!

  • Pros: good diner food
  • Cons: CHEAPY W/ FOOD

Greasy and expensive!

by Lizibee at Citysearch

This place is awful! I know midtown standards are low, but the burgers were so poor for the price. Plus they gouged you on every extra, so the standard burger doesn't even come with lettuce. A MCDONALD'S burger comes with lettuce and tomato! Come on!

Greasy

by dpezza02 at Citysearch

Greasy food, grimy restaurant. Everything we had was saturated in grease and oil. The waitstaff were nice, though.

  • Pros: Nice Waiters
  • Cons: Greasy, Dingy Dining Room

Big portions, available seating for groups, yummy milkshakes and sandwiches. I've been there for lunch many times and the service is always cheerful and efficient.
