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

Best NYC burger – Don't understand the number of haters out there about this place. This is the best burger- and better than Shake Shack. Only adds to the allure that it is so well hidden, and a great place to feel like an NYC insider. But the burgers themselves are classic, no frills- and surprisingly the best tasting hamburger I have eaten in town. I keep going back. I've eaten all the "Top 10" burgers and plenty of others. Looking for a classic burger is a very specific thing, and has to be done right. Plenty of other pla... read more

You'll impress people you bring here – ...because of the hidden location, but that's the best thing it's got to offer. Good burgers, pretty standard, but it's easy to fall for unlikeliness of this place. I do think you're a bit crazy if you call this the best burger in NYC.

Decent burger.... but not nearly as good as SHAKE SHACK! – I read a bunch of reviews and decided to check out "The Burger Joint" and it was nothing special. The burgers tasted like the generic burgers you'd get at any back yard BBQ. I guess some people don't go to enough BBQ's or tailgate parties to realize these burgers are nothing special at all. (Unlike SHAKE SHACK! which actually has great burgers, that aren't just frozen patties, they're prepared by a chef, and made with 2 different kinds of meat and special seasoning..... read more

Cramped, touristy, good burger. – Each time I go I keep expecting the exprience to be had from another of NYC's cult institutions. And I get it. This "secret cafe" is hidden away in the Parker Meridian, so you are sure to impress those who you bring with your "insider knowledge". Except that insiders already know this place is done. The line is long, the seating is sparce, and the prices are inflated. The decor is meant to be hip, but the effect is just too reminiscent of any Applebees or TGIFs. The burger itself is greasy b... read more

terrible service, unreasonable – We have been to this place twice before, and really liked it. Liked it enough that we had a gift certificate given to us for our wedding. Turns out they wouldn't accept it. The woman behind the counter kept calling it a 'fake!' Quite embarrassing actually. She gave us such attitude saying it was a 'fake' and couldn't accept it. Even after we explained it was part of our wedding gift. It could have been handled so much better, the dismissal was the worst. Now we have to go back to the person t... read more

Rude service and crooks at the register including hotel managers too – I have to agree with the person mentioning the rude service. I was there a while back and got short changed from the cashier and instead of offering to be hospitable in a hotel such as the parker meridean, I was looked upon like I was the wrong one. Doesn't a hotel like this know the customer is especially always right? I would not tell my worst enemy to dine there your not missing anything. It's not worth the trip and especially the rudest most sarcastic... read more

worst burger and rude cashier – this is by far the worst place i've been for a burger not to mention how rude the cashier is and how expensive it is $7 for a burger that was horrible, I will never go there again!
