In the winter, the chili makes for an excellent side. And don't forget the cheap McSorleys ale beers to wash everything down.
If you don't get a bistro burger and fries...you're doing it wrong. Ps: Cash Only.
One of the best and cheapest burgers in NYC. Just might have to wait in line for awhile to get it.
Unbelievable burger and very affordable. There's usually a wait to get seated, but no worries, order a beer at the bar while you wait in line.
Afi Yellow-DukeJune 23, 2015Good for a late night brew and burger. Also the fries are dope. So is the bartender: a classic NYC kinda guy.
Most people come for the burger, but me, I come for the late night grilled cheese with bacon and a side of timeless charm.
samantha hankinsAugust 10, 2014Bistro Burger. McSorley's Dark. Fries. Tasty and cheap. Can't go wrong except for if there is a wait.
Brad WillardJuly 30, 2019A New York icon. Amazing when it's good. Average when it's bad. Beer selection hasn't changed much in 15 years in a boring way.
Obviously the burgers, but in case you need to use a pay phone, don't sweat it, they have you covered.
Jonas LafortezzaAugust 24, 2017Get the burger med rare not rare. they changed the fries they are not good anymore
Steven BradyAugust 31, 2013Open late and super affordable. Don't listen to Lydia or Monica: for $6.75 the burger is solid and the fries are the tits.
Dan MillerSeptember 6, 2014Get mayo with your burger. Great on the burgers and you can mix it with ketchup for the fries.
Kira FisherJune 12, 2014Medium rare makes the buns disintegrate so maybe go for medium. French fries are perfect, don't forget to add salt
Dustin LeeJanuary 21, 2016Come for the old time vibes, but don't expect much from your bistro burger and fries. Great prices on everything though.
The Corcoran GroupAugust 2, 2011Grab a Bistro Burger, fries and a beer. The menu is simple yet wonderful and delicious. If you’re going for lunch, grab a seat at the bar, otherwise, you’ll wait, because seating is limited.
Kristoffer SkjæringrudOctober 14, 2010Get the Bistro Burger and don't arrive hungry or else you will starve to death in the line. Eat at the counter if you are alone and order a Light or a Dark from McSorley's to accompany.
Markus AlvermannMarch 9, 2017Nice pub atmosphere. I don't get the hype about the burgers. I had a chili burger. The meat was good but all in all the burger was mediocre. The french fries were awesome. Cash only - ATM inside.
I was kind of underwhelmed by the burger here which *looks* fantastic but falls apart like a house of cards once you bite into it.

angelo wAugust 31, 2010This is probably one of my favorite burger spots in the city. I recomend the bistro burger w/ side of fries and McSorleys beer. Cheap burgers and beers, you cant beat it.
Itamar HauserOctober 7, 2014First of all it's super annoying that the place is cash only (with a rip-off atm in-house of course). As to the food- the chili burger is great but the fries are just plainly bad...
Nichole HortonAugust 13, 2015Delicious burger, grilled cheese with bacon and tomato is also good. Cash only.
Mark KabbashAugust 25, 2011To me this is the BEST burger in the City BAR NON! I have never had a better burger in my life. I love everything about this place.- DoubleDeuceDecember 14, 2014It's probably not worth it to wait in the line but definitely worth a visit at some other point in the day. Personally, I think that for the price, the grilled cheese is not worth a second purchase.
PaddyApril 16, 2016Nice place. Very old school. Heard great things about the burgers but found myself disappointed. The beef tasted unseasoned and bland. Same for the beef in the chili fries. Beers are cheap.
Emily RyanAugust 22, 2011This West Village institution, which touts itself as one of the last bohemian bars in the area, is well known for the burger that lurks within its small, dark confines.
Serious EatsMarch 8, 2013We're a little skeptical about all the hype this place receives, but it's a Village institution all the same.
Brendan LewisJune 28, 2014Fun fact: Before leaving office, Bloomberg signed a law allowing you to punch a friend in the face if they order a chicken sandwich instead of a Bistro Burger,
Meg DubeDecember 11, 2014You think you go here for the burgers, but the chicken sammy is to die for.
Original PenguinOctober 26, 2010Who cares if you have to wait for eons? Once the waiter drops down a paper plate with the best burger in town, worries go out the window. Carve your name in the wood table and leave your mark.
EileenSeptember 12, 2010No brainer: bistro burger is the best but the burgers err on the rare side so be cautious when ordering if you don't like your meat pink. The line is worth the wait.
this is one of the best burgers in nyc. the place is a hole in the wall which is what makes it great. juicy yummy burgers and delicious shoestring fries.
Nicolette RomeroSeptember 11, 20166 beers and 2 burgers for $49? Don't mind if I do. And the Bistro Burger lives up to the hype. 🍔🍺
Great spot for a simple burger. Cash only but they have an ATM inside
Alexis MartinezFebruary 8, 2012Nothing better than a dark brew and an amazing bistro burger good place to start or finish of up your night !!!!:)
Food & WineMay 11, 2011This Village landmark with dirt-cheap beer and messy, juicy flame-broiled burgers is almost always packed and open until 4 AM daily.
Great place to unwind. This is where locals go. Nothing like kicking back with a beer and the bistro burger.
Graham JamesOctober 4, 2009I've been eating burgers at the Corner Bistro for over 12 years...solid stuff, but try their fries. They cook them in the same oil as the bacon so there is a hint of bacon-y goodness in every bite.

Corner Bistro, the last of the bohemian bars in West Greenwich Village, has been serving customers since the earlier part of this century. The original ambience is pretty much unchanged, and we like to keep it that way!

"One of the best burgers on the island. Bonus points: they cook their meat on the rare side. For sides, get the spinach, brussels, or Mac and cheese."
