Olivier DesmoulinOctober 31, 2011Don't be shy, enter the Meridien hotel and even if you're sure you not at the right place ask for the Burger Joint. They will show you the hyden door.
Vincent TanApril 23, 2011Try the Eggs Benedict With Pancakes - Best eggs Benedict I have ever eaten. The pancakes are bloody excellent!
Bill DJanuary 4, 2012Great Burgers and cool atmosphere. Hate to give the location away it is that good and want to keep it a secret
Fahad AleesaSeptember 2, 2019Great place great food and staff. Organizing the dining area is very poor.
The best burger ever, guaranteed. Be sure to get The Works and a T-Shirt.
Shaun Tollerton ⚡️December 26, 2017Cheeseburger, medium rare, works, no bacon and a vanilla shake. 👌
David AguirreAugust 28, 2012I wish we had a place like this in Maine! This will be a mandatory lunch stop the next time I'm in the city.
Emmanuel ANGLESSeptember 23, 2015Very very good burger The place is hidden behind the curtain on the left
JessicaNovember 29, 2014Long line, expect to wait about 45min. until you are able to order, be ready to rush to snatch a table right after you order. Good burgers.
Christie C.September 29, 2010A dive burger joint hidden in a snazzy hotel. Walk past the concierge desk in the Le Parker Meridian and follow the burger smell. It's hidden behind a red curtain!
Eric M.May 13, 2011@cjleonejr and @mckennaolson were right about place. Order The Works with fries and have a brew. Great burger! 4sq.com/jaZcr2
From The World BlogOctober 23, 2012you order the burger and you want on it: onions, cheese, pickles… Ask a bag of potato chips and wait for them to call your name
Travel ChannelNovember 14, 2011Tony claims it is your patriotic duty to order a burger medium rare. As seen on Travel Channel’s The Layover with Anthony Bourdain.
Food & WineMay 17, 2011The city's worst-kept burger secret: This low-key spot behind a velvet curtain in the upscale Le Parker Meridien Hotel.
Rock RainesNovember 3, 2019this place brings me so so so much joy. Burgers and fries served with a little side of joy.
Fernanda NeuteFebruary 7, 2017I don't understand the hype about this place. The burger is good, but definitely not worth standing in line for. Many other great options especially if you are just visiting for a few days.
Blue Man City ManDecember 24, 2014You can call it in so you don't have to wait in line. Great burgers and fries.
Curtis ShoungJune 10, 2016full of tourist? yes. pricey (double cheeseburger for $18)? yes. tasty? yes.
Kathy HergertApril 11, 2016Fun atmosphere but the buns were like wonder bread. The fries frozen, and I suspect the meat is factory farmed and frozen patties. Just an interesting version of McD's. Sorry, not impressed.
Jenn LewisFebruary 28, 2014I'm a newbie!!!! And I will be here next Sat-tues so I can't wait to taste tht infamous Burger!!! B
Dylan AcresJune 1, 2012While it was a really good burger it wasn't a life changing experience. Don't plan on actually getting a table here either.
Tobias DoschAugust 14, 2011Best burger (east coast)!! And great contrast to the Meridien! Defenitely worth a 30 min wait(easy) -
Julian NamNovember 5, 2010The not-so-secret burger in town. It's good, but is it worth the hype? At least you get to feel special for finding this "hidden" gem.
Marc BuonAugust 18, 2012The line seems to disappear after 9pm on Friday nights! Decent burger, not my best in NYC (ShakeShack better amongst others) but has a little something to it.
Lisa WFebruary 20, 2013Love the atmosphere and attitude. Fries were ok, perfectly salted. Burger was good, but the works were a bit much. Wouldn't wait a long time for it. Shake Shack might be a bit better in my opinion.
Tastes like it came off of a backyard BBQ. The fries are amazing but a cheeseburger with pickles is the way to go.

"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."

"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."
