Steve B.: Awesome bacon and cheddar burger. Trust me, I'm a professional.
Aaron: Order the bacon cheddar burger.
New York Habitat: Better make it 7 or 8 napkins here, one of the better burgers in the city. We recommend the bacon cheddar burger or the original with aioli suace and gruyere with a side of their crispy onion rings.

S B: A little stuffy, but amazing cheddar burger and Ricotta Gnocci
Bobby Solomon: Chef Carmen Quagliata’s burger is a classic, and a feat in dry-aging. A blend of short rib and brisket results in a patty that is juicy yet distinctly beefy.
Jasmine Mehrabi: Calamari, beef tartare, *duck pasta, and the gnocchi was very light which was interesting. Overall 8/10.

Dean Sobel: The jalepeno grilled onions cheddar burger was awesome, reminds me of jackson hole diner from nj
Damian Bayona: Great hamburger! Rivals (and bests, in my opinion) Corner Bistro's famous burger. Excellent value and authentic setting. One of NYC's best
David Schorr: This place is really called "Yo Yunior"

Claire J Song: Double Cheddar Burger, $21 What’s most exciting about this burger, though, is that it’s a dry-aged double — a unicorn of the stacked-burger world.
Joel Goldman: Double Cheddar Burger: Two four ounce dry aged LaFrieda patties topped with special sauce and cheddar cheese. Only available for Brunch and Lunch. Cost: $21. Flavor: 8/10. Value: 7/10.
Gillian BenAry: chef is Andrew Carmellini. Totally packed, so reservations are essential. Killer wine list, great raw bar, fantastic food and stellar people watching. A good place to feel the energy of NY. Open late

Patrick M: Bacon cheddar burger and cottage fries, supplemented by humorous watermelon art, at a table in the back for lunch.
Dara Jo: Great cheeseburger and fries - ask for caramelised onions on the burger! And leave some room for the pecan pie as well
Time Out New York: Since 1972, this kitschy Upper East Side burger joint has been sating meatheads. The cheeseburger is a bite of a bygone era, simple griddled on a flattop and medium-rare juicy. (Critics' Pick) Read more.
Linda Knight Crane: Arnold Palmer is freshly made & delicious! Perfect with bacon cheddar burger or club sandwich made as you order right behind the counter. Yum!
Eyal Goldwerger: 100 year old vibe that's authentic without trying. Great noodle soup, french toast, egg cream, and many classic diner staples. Old freshly made, old style.
Peter Kaiser: Over priced iconic NYC bullshit.

Leslie Holland: Go for lunch and have the cheddar burger with their delicious fries. (ask for the fries without the Old Bay seasoning if you prefer them plain.)
Scott Hueston: grilled sea bream with kohirabi, fennel & red grapefruit is sensational. quinoa hushpuppies w/ capers & lemon: superb. for dessert, get the apple pie with SOUR CREAM gelato - instantly devoured
Tom Barbaro: The roast chicken was fantastic - crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside...

Mike Friedlich: Amazing burger place. Wagyu bacon cheddar burger is one of my favorite burgers. Buttered Naked Lobster Roll was also outstanding, and the lobster is so good.
Diego Rufo: One of the greatest hamburguer restaurants in NY (if not the best). A must! Read more.
Esquire: Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Now fight your way to the bar and get yourself a Guinness and a cheeseburger.
Jeremy Ong: Try the Lucky's Cheddar Burger
Booie: My favorite burger. I love the Lucky Sauce and Chipotle Mayo. Eat your burger with it! Its tangy and spicy but not "hot" spicy.
Kevin Myers: Best damn burgers in town! Happily located in a gay area for gays who don't give a rat's ass about carbs, fat or calories. Order anything, but the chili cheese fries are tops!

Ondrej ت: Bacon & Cheddar Burger, Steak Fries and Cold Ass draught.. excellent choice!
Caroline Marantes: The staff is great and the food is amazing! One of my favorite burger joints in NYC.
Time Out New York: Here, Chef Brett Reichler smashes the beef patty thin and sears it hard on the flattop for a crusty-on-the-outside, juicy-on-the-inside consistency. (Readers Choice) Read more.
Margaret McConnell: Everything is organic and amazing. It's cheaper than Whole Foods. The staff knows their products & are always helpful & friendly! A++++!
Zachary Adam Cohen: Smells like hippies and amniotic fluid here. Their apple cider vinegar is fun for enemas. Watch out for blind gypsys. They steal ur wallet.
BluePrint: Standing ovation for Westerly Natural Market's convenient location and abundance of healthy treats. We love stopping in for a refreshing pre- or post- theatre BluePrintJuice!

David Solimano: Great breakfast and diner staples. Solid coffee shop atmosphere, with two person booths and a very busy counter to sit at. Bring cash and enjoy a gyro.
Liz Marshall: NO PUBLIC BATHROOM! but if you whine enough like i did they'll take you around the corner, down the storm door, and into the scary basement to use the surprisingly clean employee restroom.
Herlambang Edmaditya: love ur eggs, so special for my breakfast.
