Iason Beton-venJanuary 23, 2014The burger was nothing special, but not bad at all. The environment is what makes this place a must. Well hidden, nice underground style decoration, definitely a tourist attraction. Prices are OK.
albaJanuary 21, 2017Burgers. Through lobby, walk on the right side of the hotel front desk, into a dark hall, look for neon burger, go through curtain.
Christian HammarSeptember 17, 2012The best burger experience ever. Look for the burger sign inside the hotel. And don't be frightend by the queue, it's simple worth the wait.
❀✿ YIᑎG ✿❀April 9, 2014Had a hard time finding this place since it was hidden behind a curtain near the front desks! Burgers were ok. Really small inside so make sure you don't go during rush hours if you want to sit
Stephen Neill O'BrienJuly 11, 2016It was good & fun years ago....we'll see in a couple of minutes...I hope I remember how to order..id hate to go to the back of the line....
Stamatis DikFebruary 15, 2019Waiting in the line for 30 minutes, and then you have to wait someone to leave to find a table. Food quality was average. But the environment was really nice.
Ted OFebruary 1, 2013Awesome hall-in-the-wall burger joint hidden deep inside an upscale hotel. Perfect.
Brent LassiOctober 8, 2015Good burger. Perfectly prepared. Needs salt. Needs a spicy option on the menu. That said. I'm on board. Good place.
Lindsey RhoadesSeptember 28, 2011Like Pavlov's dogs salivating at the ding of a bell, the neon burger sign hidden behind the Parker's Meridien's lush velvet curtains gets me drooling all over myself for a medium rare with the works.
Alex HayworthJune 19, 2017In a hotel, down a narrow hallway alongside the front desk, marked with a neon sign, behind a curtain. Down with Shake Shack, Viva la Burger Joint.
Jamie KimAugust 20, 2018Line looks long but super fast. One of the top burgers in the nyc. Fries taste like mcd!
Kimmie OhhJanuary 18, 2020Hidden burger gem in Le Parker Meridien Hotel. Obviously get the cheeseburger!
Ana Carolina MirandaSeptember 17, 2014It is a very good burger, but not the best in NY, like some people say, and it's small. It's a very interesting place behind a hotel curtain.
FotisNovember 2, 2016comfort food after late monday sessions... food for your body and soul! (can get crowded by tourists sometimes).
Leo SumulongAugust 22, 2014I've been coming here for years and their tasty, uncomplicated hamburgers and cheeseburgers have never disappointed.
Iphone 20May 25, 2022If you want great burger 🍔 you will find somewhere else.. but if you want new experience come … burger is average but the vibe is awesome
Sylvain LienneMarch 14, 2015The burgers are good but you have to wait :p Not sure to always find a place to stay but most of the time you will find it if you wait
The burger is superb👌 except to wait up to 30 minutes. Make ur eyes roll like a radar to find a table
Bokyung ParkMarch 22, 2022It’s a kind of hidden place. Behind the curtain on the left side, you’ll see the burger sign.I enjoyed their sweet potato fries.
DensOctober 14, 2010Okay, this place is all it's cracked up to be. Hint: if you're looking for seconds, sweet talk one of the tourists in line into placing an order for you.
Guillaume FlandreJanuary 15, 2016Get a cheeseburger here, it's amazing. The place is hidden inside the lobby of the skyscraper
Charles TabangcoraJanuary 21, 2012One of the better burgers you will find in the city. Have someone go with you do that one can snag a seat as the other orders. Very limited seating.
TheobanSeptember 28, 201410/10! Must try in New york. Best burger ever tasted! Recommended highly! Amazing atmosphere
Josephine SonSeptember 13, 2012Yep it's as good as they say. Though Shake Shack is still my favorite. Get the cheeseburger with the works! Fries are great too!
Renzo CangahualaJune 4, 2023Great hamburguers, beers and music. Be patient about tables, no to many for the number of people
GregWasThereOctober 8, 2014Amazing burger ! Do not get scared by the ppl lining up, it goes very fast.
Sam BloorOctober 29, 2015Good simple burgers. Head past the reception desk in the lobby of Le Parker Meridian and turn left.
Mohammed C.December 22, 2014"double cheeseburger, well done, with the works," for all my non-English speaking patrons, that's all you need to say.
Public Art FundOctober 21, 2011Visiting work on view at Doris C. Freedman Plaza? Have an inkling for a burger? Head on over to the Burger Joint - make sure you know your order before you're up! Fries are always a yes.
Emiliano ViscarraDecember 28, 2015Excellent burgers. A classic place. You need to enter into the hotel lobby and look for a small neon sign.
Antoine MJuly 2, 2016Extra good burger. Get the all dressed ! Fries are not exceptionnal, but the burger is definitely worth it
Onur AvcıJanuary 5, 2019It was better than fast food chains but in order to have the best burger they should use a better quality meat. Overall, good burger for the price.
Olof CarlsonAugust 10, 2014Wonderful venue, original location makes it worth it. Burger is not the best in NYC but above average!
Katerina👑🔨💍 IeromonachouNovember 6, 2017One of my favorites in NY! Take the double cheeseburger with works and fries!

Khokha MFebruary 25, 2018Hidden gym in nyc.. they offer only burgers & fries but it worth the wait..
Dei WestApril 19, 2016One of my favorite burger spots in the city. Get there early because a long line forms.

Brent GatewoodFebruary 3, 2016Very good burger. Sure, I've had better - but a fun place to find, quick service and a good burger!
Edlin ChoiJanuary 16, 2012Love this place. Time it right to get a seat and enjoy a burger (or two) with the works. Not too long a line on off-meal hours. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
