Allow me to tell you the story of when Shake Shack & In-N-Out made a baby & called it "The Super Duper Stack". Double stack patty, American cheese, sweet pickles & house sauce. So greasy. So good.
I really dig the style of this place—casual lunch spot, superior food. So many options! Burgers, tacos, salads, sandwiches... All served by a very friendly staff. Chicken sandwich best in the hood.
Get the super duper burgers, chicken sandwich, fries, fried pickles, and the tacos. There I almost mentioned everything on the menu. Guest chef entrees are usually pretty solid too (though pricey)
Danyel SmithFebruary 12, 2016burgers = yummy ++ not too too huge. fried chicken sandwich *is* huge and criminally tasty. the tater tot thing with the pimiento cheese...the airline bottles of Makers ... awesome service too.
June CarriganApril 25, 2015Buttermilk chicken sandwich is the best I have ever had. Second visit just did the half and half fries and shrimp tacos which were also really good and a huge portion. This is my new local.
C. Sha•Doe McIntoshApril 2, 2016Saturday afternoon, quiet and perfect. Best spicy burger I've had in years! Yes. Go. It's great.
Nina LoSchiavoOctober 7, 2015Incredible upscale fast food. Burger and chicken sandwich skyrocketed to the top of my 'Best Ever' list on first visit.
Denis SosnovtsevJuly 17, 2015The burger is more liquid than solid -- in a good way. Every bite is mostly delicious shameful grease, but like, the healthy kind of grease. You know? No? Look, shut up and eat the burger.- AmberMarch 17, 2016Not the most high end of burgers on a list of good burgers in NYC, but also more affordable than many. Still a good quality burger and the flavor profile makes it really craveable
All their cocktails are based on their fresh juices. I thought the kale and tequila based Emerald City was pretty tasty!
Isaac VanDuynDecember 24, 2015The chicken sandwich is to die for. The ice cream sandwiches are not what you'd expect, but delicious. Go downstairs for a lot of fun alcohol options.
Cole KennedyMay 15, 2015Eat the Spicy Smokehouse Burger, with bacon, smoked Gouda, charred jalapeño mayo, and chipotle BBQ sauce. Eat it now and eat it often. Sriracha encouraged but optional.
- I like the chicken sandwich (best around) with a little extra sauce and dressed with a little sriracha... Strikes the right balance.
LukeJanuary 17, 2016The fried chicken sandwich is a unique entry in the ever expanding fried poultry arms race. Will be back to try an ice cream sandwich
Nicole FormicaJune 17, 2015AMAZING burgers. If you are feelin' fancy, build your own and slap some gouda and bacon on top!
kate kJune 1, 2015Healthy option with a bit of fried diner goodness - Californian Kale Salad and Dill Pickle Fries
I don't know how to articulate all the feelings I have about this place. Everything is incredible. Everything.- You tried the burger yet? Yes? Good. Now go try that fried chicken sandwich. Coz it's delicious!
Ryan WarrenderMay 4, 2016I stumbled in here walking through Little Italy. The burgers were like Beyonce... Hot and everyone loves it.
Will SchollMay 15, 2015Spicy Smokehouse Burger is exceptional. Everything on the menu looks amazing. Will be back to try more.
Natalie VJuly 13, 2016Awesome barber! Get the special which includes the smoky burger, fries and a beer for only $11
The buttermilk chicken sandwich is one of the best I have ever tried. The ice cream sandwiches are awesome.
scott ...January 7, 2016Go for the Spicy Smokehouse Burger. They use classic potato rolls that tastefully soak up the sauce and juices.
Tim O. OAugust 5, 2016Casual and not too loud place to grab a craft beer whike checking out Chinatown and Little Italy.
This rates an "out of bounds" on the Guy Fieri scale of amazing.
Hannah GMNovember 17, 2016The fried chicken sandwich is great, and don't miss the fries. Food arrives quickly!
Patricia LeeJuly 25, 2015I had the house salad with chicken and miso dressing. Yummy! Decor is cute too.
Citi BikeMay 10, 2015Very much enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich. Easy, simple, casual, and good food!
Bub ChinpilasJune 1, 2015Get the spicy smokehouse burger and sweet potato fries.. Its bloody delicious
TomMay 15, 2016Not sure why this place is being hyped so much. Food is decent but nothing to rave home about. Staff is friendly but service is very slow. Burger > chicken
Meg FarmerAugust 10, 2015Despite the horrific infatuation review, had a pretty decent cheeseburger here (though a few drinks in maybe I wasn't the best judge).
सिद्धार्थMay 22, 2016Has a wall mounted rack with audio cassettes. Interesting decor in the lower level.
GQ MagazineNovember 20, 2015The Copper Mine (way up at the top) pairs gin with a carrot-parsnip-turmeric-and-more juice. Read more
- kate kJune 1, 2015Seating is not all that comfortable - stools with no back or cross beam to prop feet on
Sleepy BrowneJuly 10, 2016My girlfriend and I tried the statehouse burger and the buttermilk battered fried chicken. Also fries which were cold and salty. Nothing special. They never gave us our drinks. Would not return
Anna Kaghan-LinApril 16, 2015Petite chicken sandwich, not worth the $10+. I'll give it one more chance, see if their burger is worth the money or not. Probably not.
Alexander AttarMay 13, 2015super duper stack burger / points for sriracha on all tables. skip the fries.. get a tecate
