Jai LeeOctober 10, 2014Call in your order to pick up and skip the line. Also check out their 8th street location with a full bar.
Zoilabella Calo AmiotJanuary 12, 2011do not try to order the milk shake during peaks hours....not gonna happen! the brownies are also amazing!!! I use to have lunch here all the time as my office was right across the street....MISS IT!!!
Ricky SherrillJanuary 17, 2015I love this place....,a hidden gem neatly tucked within the lobby of a 5 Star Hotel. 👍
Sacha SJuly 9, 2017'Secret' burger bar behind a curtain inside the hotel. Some idiot put it in a guide book and that almost ruined the place for locals, but the burgers are GOOD
If you want to show off to some out of town friends a cool place in midtown near moma and 5th ave pop into the burger joint and they will be floored with the cool vibe inside the swanky hotel
John BrianJune 18, 2015Hands down on of the best classic style burgers in NYC. Always hits the spot!
Jean POctober 29, 2013Great burger place! Too much topping can ruin the taste of burger. Avoid everything topping. Minimum topping recommended!
Heather RJune 28, 2013Have someone in your party scout for seats while you order and wait. Nice burger, but not amazing...certainly the appeal of the experience comes from it being hidden away/
Nikita ShettyNovember 17, 2013Don't be ashamed to order the red wine. It pairs excellently with the grilled cheese.
Chris RaghoobarNovember 9, 2017The burgers here are great, simple as that. Love that it’s a literal hole in the wall, too.
John AgapitosMarch 19, 2018Excellent burgers, especially the Cheeseburger. It’s all about quality burger patties.
Marc KodamaAugust 6, 2015Look for the line and the neon hamburger for entrance next to reception desk.
Douglas SouzaSeptember 6, 2014You can't go wrong: cheeseburger + fries + choc shake. Undeniable one of the best in town!
They are good burgers but I feel that they were better and larger before. I'm largely disappointed now. But if you want a really middle of nowhere Arkansas experience in midtown manhattan go for it.- Caio TurbianiAugust 23, 201445 min in the queue , but worth it. Burgers are delicious. Order the chocolate milk shake. Good value for money.
Daisha NMarch 25, 2014Fries are tasty. satisfying. Great flavor, but a little salty. I also got them served in a very intense beat up, clearly broken bag.
AleMarch 31, 2017Cool place, definitely a must, but prefer #shakeshack burgers and #kingsofkobe hotdogs
Adam HowardJune 30, 2017You won't find a better burger. It's hard to find, look for the neon sign by the velvet curtain
Minnie KimDecember 16, 2014A classic cheeseburger with fries is the perfect combo! Such a cozy ambiance
Youssof MalNovember 16, 2018Hole in a wall? more like hole in a hotel. Seriously good classic burgers. worth the wait.
Gabriela CascioneFebruary 9, 2016Love it! Go with parience and knowing you might not seat!!! But it is worth it
Antonello LoddoJune 29, 2015When you walk in the Parker Meridien, you don't expect to find something like the Burger Joint. Just follow the people in line for a seat,- Julia AdrianoSeptember 21, 2014The cheeseburger is excellent, but the place is incredible, completely unexpected! It's worth!
Manuel ChiSeNovember 23, 2014It is inside a luxury hotel. Good burguers. I would prefer them rather than five guys or shake shack
Noah DellaPietroJanuary 4, 2020i’m not one to be negative but man did i not like this place. cramped and crowded, not organized at all, and food is small, expensive, and mediocre. super cool location/setup but not worth the wait
Daniel HeadrickMarch 20, 2015Hard to find. Ask the hotel lobby how to get to it if you get lost. Great employees. Even better food!
IFCJune 7, 2010Le Parker Meridien Hotel is a white marble minimalist palace. So it's surprising that it stinks like burgers. Hidden just off the lobby is the best burger in mid-town. - IFC Staff
Chris LeckieApril 11, 2016It's simple and that's the best bit. Go for the works and you'll be a happy camper.
Valentin ESCUREDOFebruary 4, 2011I was introduced to the Burger Joint on my first trip to New York, and immediately regretted wearing jeans upon walking into the imposing atrium lobby of Le Parker Meridian Hotel. As we stood waiting
Leena AlRajhiSeptember 21, 2015The place is very crowded but it deserves to try and enjoy its cheeseburger 👌🏻
Go behind the red courtain and get the "the works", the cheeseburger that has everything in it. Get 2 of them cause you'll want another one!
Alex FishJune 22, 2015Get a cheeseburger, fries, and a Sam Adams. If you like charcoal, you will love it here
Cooper SmithApril 26, 2014Sure. It was fun to check out this "secret" burger joint in the lobby of a fancy hotel. But everything costs $3 more than it should, snagging a table is stressful, and the burgers? Meh
Tash ConcepcionAugust 17, 2014Always a long line but one of the best burgers in the city. Worth the wait in line!
Angela MauroSeptember 29, 2016Burger is delicious..a pitcher of beer is only 3 cups, so buying them individually is a better deal
jayme del RosarioMay 7, 2010Hidden place in Le Parker Meridien Hotel. Look for the neon burger sign by the lobby's curtains and follow your nose! One of the best burgers, fries and shakes in town. They have beer, too.
Sheila Mimi GabeNovember 10, 2015Delicious burger with the works. Skip the line and check out their lower manhattan location instead.
Aycan AydoganOctober 17, 2015You will have to que in front of a black curtain in the lobby of park meridien. But worth it...

"It’s expensive, but worth it. Grab the theater menu. Those beet + peanut balls are a must. So is their signature dessert. Cocktails are way too expensive, but delicious."

Murat - 9.7
"One of my favorite places to get lost in the city. An amazing Oasis in the middle of the cement jungle. Always something for everyone. Make sure to go further in the park and get away from tourists."
Lenny Gallo - 9.3
"Best Modern Art collections in the US. The place is vast and you can easily spend the entire day here. The Cafes make it easy to get a meal or just take a break and get a drink."
