Jaclyn R: Amazing!!! Burger with egg is a must and order fries. The bar downstairs opens at 5 and is a good place to hang if you have to wait, which you will!

Michael Carini: Chicago burger classic in NYC solid all around, but more upscale here for whatever reason

Mari: Oh man, the burger au poivre is so good. One of the best burgers I've ever had. Only available at the bar and not even listed on the menu yet.
Andrew D.: Au Poivre Burger at the bar is the best! Limited quantity, so arrive early. Steak au Poivre is excellent, too. Chris is a fabulous host and entertainer!
Deborah Tsuchida: Tip for myself, haven't tried: "best burger by Thrillist, but only 12 made each night at bar. Make it there before kitchen opens @5:30 to experience their perfect burger"

Burger Bedlam: Be sure to try the Bash Burger, our #1 ranked burger! It's not on the menu so you gotta ask for it specifically. One of the bartenders, Annie, makes a mean Old Fashioned as well.
Eva: Great happy hour. Don't miss the burger or lobster roll (when in season).
Sean Stenstrom: Great for dates and business lunches alike, the subterranean Lure Fish Bar offers up a solid roster of sushi offerings as well as seafood, steak, and one of the best burgers in the city.

Ricky Liang: Bronte burger is the best brontosaurus burger you'll ever have
Bin Yang: Grab a seat, a big breakie (for brunch or breakfast) and people watch! At night, enjoy some fresh dishes and if in doubt you can always revert to the bronte burger. Chili mayo always wins!
Ranu Rajkarnikar: Great drinks and food. Friendly service. Good for any meal. You can't go wrong with the burger. What else do you expect from a place run by Australians?
