Sam McCrimsonMay 26, 2012Owned by the same people who own Blockheads, this place has the same drinks as Blockheads but also sells burgers. I would definitely recommend the Mexican Bulldog! Great scenery when its nice outside.
Michael LaMasaAugust 12, 2014$5 margaritas and a decent burger, if you're looking for something cheap and easy. Can sometimes take a while to get a table, but the outdoor seating area is priceless.
Mollie JeanSeptember 30, 2012Great atmosphere, super nice servers, delicious frozen margaritas, and great prices! The outdoor seating area is also really nice and located in a neat little courtyard.
Jisu PJuly 8, 2014Great place for brunch! The prices are cheap and portions are big. Service is great here. Definitely get a coconut margarita... Or four.
Jill PisarekOctober 15, 2014Amazing burger!!! Went with the original Mother; special sauce is out of this world!!!!
Tek775August 12, 2012Cheap beers and good burgers. Nice outdoor pati. Order everything at one time. Drinks come quick but refills, food and check....good luck. Be prepared to take a longer lunch break.
Benazir MartinezFebruary 12, 2018The margaritas are awesome. Also right in front is Blockhead which sells the same margaritas they are also awesome.
Mike Bowler SrOctober 12, 2013The Chez Burger was fantastic. For $10.00 in NYC you can't beat it. Nice to eat outdoors on a warm day also. #GenBlue
Alex FishJune 16, 2017Same owner at Blockheads with quality and inexpensive burgers and hot dogs. Can get the same margaritas as Blockheads
The Daily MealApril 11, 2011"The single Mother Burger is your best bet. It comes with special sauce, shredded lettuce, tomato, red onion, and zesty McClure's pickles." Darren Atkins, New York's 10 Best Burgers to Eat Outdoors Read more
Head to the bar inside during the winter for $3 beers and a surprisingly fun atmosphere without the LOOOOOOONG waits of the outdoor area during the summer.
Kirsten SmithMay 8, 2010With $2 Beers and $3 Margaritas all day everyday how can you go wrong? Especially when you only pay $6-8 for a gourmet burger that some places charge $10-15 for. The special sauce is also to die for.
your entertainment guidesApril 28, 2011$4.50 Frozen vodka pink lemonade. Great outside spot especially since Blockheads is always packed. The skinny-cut, skin-on fries melt in your mouth!
Sandra A.May 18, 2013Grilled chicken w/jack cheese & grilled onions on texas is great! However the waiter coming to my table & suggesting that the tip wasn't enough left a very bad taste in my mouth.
CrowdscoreSeptember 29, 2011Being next door to Blockheads, this burger joint often times gets overlooked. Try this bar for shorter lines, margaritas that are priced the same and, oh yeah, a burger!
Blockheads' summertime competition in Worldwide Plaza's courtyard--a popular outdoor gathering spot for Hell's Kitchen locals. Mediocre yet satisfying burgers and fries washed down with $3 margs. YES!
CristinaDecember 29, 2010The Mother Cheese burger was very tasty w/ special sauce. Fries are good w/ cheese sauce. The Hawiian Punch was very good :) can't beat these prices!!
They have a great burger with buffalo sauce and awesome hand-cut fries! Good cheap eats!
Brendan GerrityJune 4, 2015Order takeout and sit in the adjacent park instead of waiting for a table outside
Jaycob BurnsAugust 21, 2014Pros: good patio, really cheap beer, owned by same people as blockheads, nacho burger. Cons: crappy ordering, same owners as blockheads
Expect a 30min to hour long wait to sit. Worth it though, $5 margaritas and amazing burgers!- Alberto CuadradoApril 19, 2017Rude/ Nasty waiters & Management.Do not waste your time and hard earned money, Go to BBQ's instead. First and last time myself and family will ever go to Mother Burger. 110% do not recommend it.
Lauren KellyMarch 24, 2012$3 margaritas? Try $4, still delicious though. We were told a 35 min. wait but got seated in 10!
Jessica GidariOctober 6, 2015Great place for outdoor summertime drinking! Margaritas are the best here.
Inexpensive brunch and $3 margaritas! Try the Orange Flower.
Christopher RicheyApril 30, 2013The Mexican Bulldog is delicious and the staff are helpful and sassy. :) I love it!
Leah ArrJanuary 13, 2012Get a frozen margarita. These are the best in order: Coconut (no, really), raspberry, strawberry, and mango.
Tihirah JohnsonJuly 27, 2017Ordered a well done burger got a raw one. I reported it to the waitress & manager, & they said our policy is once you start eating no refunds even if the food is raw. I vomited everywhere. No discount
Kol ClintonMarch 31, 2012Amex special is great! Make sure to get a Mexican Bulldog while you're waiting for your table!
Cesar RazuriAugust 9, 2013Texas Tommy with Fries. Light on the wallet, heavy on the belly. #GeometryGlobalEats
Shirls CartelMarch 11, 2012This place makes me feel as if I was in the tropic!! Love it.. Can't wait to come here in the summer
Troy BarileAugust 12, 2010This place is AMAZING! Although Ballys staring at your while you're drinking beer after beer and eating greasy burgers isn't so amazing haha
Mike MahonApril 30, 2013They don't let you sit outside without ordering an entree. This must be new because I've done that many times. Onto the next bar.- NabeelMarch 19, 2011Right next to the New World Stages theatre. Good outdoor seating and a cool mid-street area.
Josh Weinberger (@kitson)July 3, 2010Impossible to get table service on a jam-packed summer evening, but you can "Take Out" and eat at one of the unaffiliated tables elsewhere on the Plaza. (No alcohol that way, though.)
Daniel RayJune 27, 2010Come here when blockheads is busy or just for the cheaper beers and drinks. Foods good too, get fries instead of nachos.
Matthew RodriguezAugust 26, 2011It's less about the burger, which is a C+, and more about the great outdoor seating area in a courtyard surrounded by high rises. Cheap margaritas helps make the burger taste better.
CharmaineNovember 30, 2011same price drinks as Blockheads. The plus is you can sit at the bar just for drinks & catch a game on the flat screens!
I come here a lot. Never really get carded often. The waitress I had carded me(I am 21 and not afraid to show it) bit forgot my I'd. She was rude after that. Half ignored me, didn't mean to forget it.
TellySeptember 6, 2010Get the cookie with whip cream. The brownie is also good. Cheap margaritas don't hurt.
Goutam JApril 26, 2011This place gets really crowded when the weather is nice. Arrive early or expect a long wait.
Lynn LeberMarch 18, 2010Prepare to wait. Being seated and service takes FOREVER. Took 15 minutes for our drinks to come. Good thing the burger and fries are delicious.
