Great if you're looking for a meal!

by Pink3rbellx

This place looks kind of like one of those rowdy sports bars, but once you go inside, you feel better.

I got a cheeseburger and fries - both were so plentiful, I didn't finish either. I definitely got my money's worth. It costed me a bit less than ten bucks. Around eight.

The burger meat wasn't too seasoned, but that is how I like it. It was extremely juicy. It was so tender, you wouldn't need a knife to cut it. A fork would suffice. I didn't expect less than three dollars' worth of french fries to be so much! When they brought me the huge platter of it, I was pretty floored.

My friend got a lemonade and she said it was really good.

I got my money's worth, the food was good, and I left extremely full. Easily five stars.

  • Pros: Huge portions offered, pretty cheap

Fat Juicy Burger

by Athena Chang , Citysearch Contributor

They don't mess around here. Burgers here are super big and juicy. If you are on diet, this is not the joint for you. If you are looking for a high maintenance burger, this aint the right spot for you either.

Be prepared to roll up your sleeves and chow down the messy burger at hand. You are certainly going to be full and happy after eating.

  • Pros: Juicy, heavy-weight, filling Burger
  • Cons: Sloppy

I Tell People This Place is Terrible...

by cinematika

...so they keep going to the Shake Shack. Hands down the best burger in New York. My biggest fear everytime I walk in is that the secret will finally be out and I'll find the tiny place packed to the gills and I'll have to wait for a table (hasn't happened yet in 7 years of going there). Burgers: juicy, seasoned to perfection and delicious. Toppings plentiful. Worried that your turkey burger will be dry and mealy like so many other places, but trying to watch your red meat intake? Fear not! Vegetable patties also available. Paul's does not discriminate, they just want to serve you the most delicious burger you've ever had.

It's also a must for out of towners looking for that "authentic" NYC experience. Greasy spoon atmosphere, sassy but charming waitress, rocky tables.... check, check, and check.

  • Pros: "ambience", service, great food, fresh pickles!!
  • Cons: tiny like a lot of NYC places, so don't have your birthday there

overrated

by green01

I went to Paul?s Place a couple weeks ago after hearing/reading many good reviews and was hugely disappointed. The burger bun got too moist and ?what?s worse- gooey in a matter of minutes. The ground beef was bland because it had no salt on it. The paper-thin slice of Swiss was bland as well (domestic, most likely). The pickles were so old they were way too soft and had a weird smell and slightly bitter aftertaste. Even the lemon wedge that came with my soda was old and smelly?

  • Pros: none
  • Cons: bad food, below-average service
