It's because in the middle of this swanky hotel, tucked away, is the most basic hole-in-the-wall Burger Joint.

Serving only three kinds of burgers, fries and beer in a cup, this cash only joint is extremely popular.

Just a burger?! – Just a Burger? Just a burger. It’s so much more than “just a burger”. I mean…that first bite—oh what heaven that first bite is! The bun like a sesame freckled breast of an angel resting gently on the ketchup and mustard below—flavors mingling in a seductive pas-de-deux And then…a pickle…the most playful little pickle! Then a slice of tomato, a leaf of lettuce and a…a patty of ground beef so exquisite; swirling in your mouth breaking apart and combining again in a fugue of sweets and savor so delightful.

Gotta try it – An unpretentious burger at a price that's good for the city. The only problem is the wait. If you can deal with that, you have to try it.

Flavor AND Character – I LOVE this place but I cannot go during rush hour. One thing I have been able to do is phone in an order and just grab it to go. The spot is hidden behind the velvet curtain and the burgers taste the same as good as the ones I've had when I've stayed here and ordered room service (but room svc burger was like $20). I do believe the prices here are creeping up a bit since I first started coming here. If you want to eat here, you must bring someone who can scout out tables while you wait on line. They d... read more

WOW – I was amazed to actually get a great burger from a place like this... The hotel is nice and all but the burger joint is by far as nice as that... however their food is very very very good... one of the best burger I had in months!

I don't know what the fuss is about... – I was excited to try this place after reading all the hype about it. There was a line out the door the whole time we were there so I thought it must be as good as I've heard. Well, the burgers were good...but not great. I just don't think they're worth $7.50, especially for their size, these are not big burgers. I mean, sure it's better than a fast food hamburger, but it's really just like a homemade burger that I could make myself. Not sure what all the fuss is about...

good burgers, hard to find a seat – good burgers for sure, decent fries, tiny place though and often no seats available. plan to at best be sitting 6 inches away from other people. have your cash out and be ready to order. i don't go too often though as the urgers are good but not truly great enough to make the no seat hassle worth it.

Perfect Serving Size – Don't let the lobby of Le Parker Meridien fool you. There's nothing luxurious or pretentious about this place. The limited menu, wood panel walls, random posters (IE; The Sopranos, Japanese Baseball Players and Batman), exposed kitchen, make this one of the rare genuine burger joints in Manhattan. Not to mention the portions are perfect. Order a burger, fries and even a milkshake and it's just enough to satisfy you and NOT feel the need to take a nap, post lunch break.
