About this business

Ever wonder why there's a cue snaking out of that red curtain in the lobby ofLe Parker Meridien? It's because in the middle of this swanky hotel, tucked away, is the most basic hole-in-the-wall Burger Joint. This casual no frills restaurant, with scribbles on the walls, pinned up art and it's iconic neon sign attracts an eclectic crowd. Serving only three kinds of burgers, fries and beer in a cup, this cash only joint is extremely popular. Drop by for a delicious burger, and enjoy the fact that you get to wait in an air-cond... 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.

Delicious Burgers When I was staying at the Parker Meridian last summer for my cousin's wedding I was surprised when I ran into the 'Burger Joint' in the lobby of this fancy hotel, as I wasn't expecting there to literally be a burger joint complete with burgers, fries and milkshakes. Everything was great, the only downside is that it is somewhat pricey for a burger joint and extremely crowded. People who aren't staying at the hotel eat here so it's hard to find seating at popular hours.

A Hidden Burger Treasure Tucked behind a curtain off the lobby of the Parker Meridian Hotel on W 57th Street is the Burger Joint. It's no longer a burger fan's secret anymore, so one must visit during hours when traditional eaters aren't eating. But when the wait is short, their burgers are among NYC's best. A true value. And the tunes in the background just add to the ambiance.

i cannot believe no one has reviewed this place! the burger joint is terrific ... real greasy-spoon burgers, shakes, and fries.

cant wait to go back – i went here due to a friend's sister's recommendation. As walked into the hotel, i was thinking we were so under-dressed for this place (we were in jeans). then we found the place behind the curtain and i felt at home. we ordered our burgers and fries and i was overjoyed at them having sam's (we had been walking all over new york that day). the burger was juicy and mouth-watering and the fries were tasty too. i am trying to plan another to the big apple and to the Burger Joint..worth the money

GOOD BURGER...AT A "GREAT" PRICE – I have to say I AM NOT on expert on burgers. I don't like cheese so therefore no cheeseburgers and I am from California, which means that to me an In 'N' Out hamburger is as tasty as they come and even though I like big, beefy flavor as much as your average American, my burger tastes can be rather simple. I will admit that it's location is cool and does account for much of the charm of the place. Entering from 57th Street and walking the "hall of mirrors" type environment does make you wond... read more
