Good Grub....

by supermodeldior

Burger Heaven- how do you complain about french fries and meat!??!?! Everything was fast, delicious, and good. The only thing I didnt like was that, even though I asked for medium-well done meat, I got rare-medium pink meat. It was still delish! Also this is not fine dining prices, the simple hamburgers and fries that would have been 4 dollars elsewhere were 10 dollars here. I must warn you that hamburger and fries must be ordered seperatly.

• Pros: not crowded, big, fast
• Cons: expensive, undercooked

Good burgers, fast

by gmor664

It seemed as though the order had just been placed, and our food was before us! My hubby's a very picky eater, (plain, no condiments, no cheese, just salt pepper, and onions) and as busy as they were, they got it RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!! Never has that happened before. Tourists just don't know about this small chain, thank GOD, or they don't know where to look. It's worth the effort to get to one!!

Good food, reasonable prices

by hlzdg

For approx. $15 or less, depending on your appetite, you can get a good lunch time meal. I had the cheeseburger platter, which came out remarkably fast and was good, especially the fresh lettuce and ripe tomatoes. The server was 'all business' but was very good and even gave me extra napkins without me having to ask. The place appeared clean and was packed. My only ding would be that the counter was very tight, though it did add to the bustling atmosphere.

• Pros: Reasonable Prices, Food, Selection

Long-running chain delivers burgers at wallet-friendly prices.

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.

Good Burgers, High Prices

by kingofnyc79

I LOVE the food here, great on some days. The prices are a bit ridiculous, but it is midtown, so its still better than going to Mangia, which is more expensive and just not that great. Thumbs up.

• Pros: Food
• Cons: Prices, Crowded

Crowded, but decent

by GarbonzoTheBean

Yes, it is cramped and service a bit slow at lunchtime, but that's because it's so popular! There are tons of varieties of burgers to pick from at slightly above diner prices. Not the best burgers I have ever had, but good. Seating is sort of communal at long tables. Your best bet is to go after 1 or 1:30 to beat the crowds. This is NYC, people! Places are crowded!

• Pros: substantial menu
• Cons: crowded, slow service
