NYC Landmark – I just went yesterday (7-7-06) around 1pm. The line seemed long but we waited about 10 minutes. I was so excited to eat there because it's been rated one of the top burgers in NYC. You couldn't believe how excited and giddy I was while waiting on line. Once we got to the door, you basically stare at people while they eat so ur the first to grab the table when they get up.. It seats 40, I counted. But not pleasantly. We did get a table, 2 burgers, 2 fries, 2 drinks, and a brownie. It was good, but not the best.... read more
One of the Best Burgers in NY! – Popped in 11 last night for some FOOOOD. What I got was a nice, juicy burger. I don't like bloody beef so i ordered it medium which was perfect. Ask for the works, not sure what's in it but it tasted great. Fries are okay but, on the bland side. Soda and beer is also served. I was told to avoid the milkshakes. The decor of the restaurant is the rebel, broke younger brother when compared to the grand hall of the Meridien but when it's late and you crave some good food, good atmosphere and a lo... read more
What is all the hype about? – It was fun locating this place with the help of a neon burger sign when inside the hotel. "Hole in the wall" comes to mind, literally. Waiting on line for the burger did set my expectations high. When I unwrapped the burger, I was not impressed. Reminded me of something whipped up at someone's bbq. The taste didn't scream I need to return for more. Fries tasted plasticky. Total rang up over $25 for two burgers, 2 fries, a beer and lemonade. Definitely had better burger for better value elsewhere... read more
Mmmm – This probably was one of the best burgers I've eaten. It was very flavorful and nice and juicy. The fries were excellent too and I'm not much of a fries guy. The only part of dining here that I didn't like... it should have been a bigger burger. It wasn't exactly small and I was starving, but I could have (and probably should have) eaten a second one. I can't wait to go back!
Succulent – The menu is limited to burger, fries, soda and beer. Size of the burger is not very large but the meat is juicy, tasty and the fixings are just as I liked, mayo, cheese, horseradish etc. The fries are crispy but mealy at the same time, they're great. It's self-serve but that's all you really want at this place. It does get very crowded at peak hours.
over-rated: others are MUCH better – I went here around mid-afternoon on a Sunday and literally had to stalk people seating in order to get our own table for two. Then, the food finally came (well, it doesn't come - you have to get it) and I thought the fries were WAY better than the burger. I couldn't not believe all the hype around this super dry burger...I don't think it had a special sauce and if it did, well, clearly is was bland - the burger was bland...SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT
SECLUDED must have BURGER – Nice burger with "the works" excellent fresh toppings, fresh tomato, fresh lettuce, powerful onion, all sliced thin, moist, not overly juicy, very flavorful, dee-lish. Fries are very much like mickee dees, they go well with the burger, pitcher of sam adams was nice to wash it down with. so, all told, 4 burgers with the works, 2 fries and a pitcher of SA came to exactly 45 bucks, i tipped a five in the jar to expedite the order, seating was very tough, a few rude dudes bumped us while we sat, howev... read more
Location, location, location – Stare down the intimidating redcaps. Ask the snooty concièrge if he has any Grey Poupon. You are in the lobby of Le Parker Meridien, a five-star hotel that we working stiffs can't even think of affording. Have faith as you intrude behind the reception desk into what looks like an unlit service hallway for employees only. Yes, "Da boyg-eh joint" actually is back there--a place so incongruously located that thoughts of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy might start going through your mind. It's... read more
People still not getting it. – Ok, here's the charm, the menu is simple and you can't alter it, they serve on thing and serve it their way, you like it or you don't, that's the charm of the greasy spoon. The burgers are great, especially if you get it with the works. Yes, it's small and their can be a line, but that's just what this type of place is. Also, the fact that it's in the back of the Parker Meriden only adds to the charm. I think it's quite amusing that some people are actually upset because they can't "change" the... read more
