Burger Joint

Hidden Burger – Its a total fascade eating here, as most people would never think a little shack type place would exist in such a nice hotel. How does the hotel allow Burger Joint to even operate on its premises? I'm sure it brings them good exposure and plenty of those greasy, flame broiled burgers. The burgers are delicious but this place is strictly cash only and the crowds are ridiculous.

Great find in NYC – The great thing about this place is, not everyone knows about it. It is my second favorite burger in the city (shake shack). It is a great deal for NYC...burger/fries/soda for $9...they also have beer. The burger was great...the fries are very McDonaldesque, served in a brown bag. Remember it is behind the curtain with the neon hamburger sign.

Don't tell Anyone! – I can't believe the Burger Joint is on here. I really thought it was a secret. It's a great place to go with a few friends for some good ol' American food - burgers and fries. We had so much fun, throwing back beers and joking around. It's just a perfect place - a whole in the wall, literally and in the most pleasant way possible. Staff is delightful and it really feels like a neighborhood gem. People are so friendly, even if there is a line. And all you here is a friend telling another friend, no, wait,... read more

Good burgers – I don't think this place has the best burgers in NY. It might, however, be the best among similarly priced places. The burgers are very tasty, albeit small. The vanilla milkshake is very nice. The decor has a 50s burger joint feel. The service is very basic. If you are not there during the particularly busy times, you wont wait long. I think this place is certainly worth a try if you are looking for a cheap lunch in midtown. Keep in mind though that if you are hungry, one burger may not be enough.

one of the better burgers in the city – this hidden spot definitely is worth wandering around trying to find. sam adams on tap, french fries served out of a brown paper bag and a burger cooked perfectly. the milkshakes are quite good as well.

You gotta go - just to say you did – It may not be the best burger in town (although it is quite good), and there is no decor, and no service to speak of; but that's not why you go to this place. It's definately a NYC 'must see'. Absolutely no frills and get there early or late if you want a seat; don't expect ANYTHING interesting - a plain hambriger or cheeseburger, with ketchup, onion, lettuce, pickle, and mustard - "the words" if you want it all, and the caveat under teh handwritten menu says it all "if you don't see it [... read more

Great price for excellent beer and burgers! – You can't find a better deal in NYC. I love the fries and burgers and always get a $3 beer. The autograph wall is fun to look at. The staff is great. I left my sunglasses at a booth once, called, and they found them and held them for me..I was so relieved!

I wouldn't say the best burger! – I ate at this restaurant on May 21st. If that is the best burger in New York City, I will not be trying a burger anywhere else when I eat there. It was an ok burger, but I would definately not say the best! Also, when you hear that the restaurant has no atmosphere, they were not kidding. Wood paneling walls, writing on the walls, not my cup of tea!

Small but good – I expected the best burger n NY. What I got was a good "homestyle" burger, that tastes just like what I grill up in the summertime on my outdoor grill. It was fresh, it was tasty, and it was very quick. I also like the atmosphere, very traditional for what you would expect in a burger place. My only complaint is that after a burger, fries, and a beer, I was left still hungry.
