Kevin YehJuly 12, 2017Juicy $6 burgers, thick $6 milkshakes. Real quick service with rock n' roll vibes. This is a bright and cheery joint in a dreary area; do yourself a favor and skip the Chipotle a few blocks down.
Lesley SmaleOctober 23, 2016Great burgers, great gluten free menu. Doesn't feel like other gluten free menus and doesn't eat like typical gluten free bread. This place is legit
- Brynn TaylorAugust 16, 2013Tough choice between a Boston Brown Ale or a Gluten-free Coffee & Chocolate flavored shake! The burger with soy-sauce jalapeños, sriracha, and pepper jack cheese will make your taste buds dance!
Matthew CaldecuttAugust 2, 2018What a fantastic spot for lunch. I had less than 30 minutes so I got the single burger with the usual toppings. It reminded me of how good Shake Shack was before it went corporate
Ailie ChangFebruary 22, 2016You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. We always get wings and cheeseburger with fries. I do wish that they were closer so they could deliver faster.
Time Out New YorkJuly 29, 2011Hamburger America filmaker George Motz has called this counter joint one of his favorite NYC newcomers. The star-butcher blend here—a 4oz mix of chuck, brisket & short rib—is a legitimate draw. Read more
Nate SSeptember 14, 2014Slightly out of the way but these burgers are so so good (on par with Shake Shack and Five Guys). Pairs nicely with a trip to Dutch Kills.
Journo GirlJanuary 3, 2013Pretty good place, like an authentic burger joint :-) with old rock & roll playing, huge helping of fries, great thick, shakes & even a 10% student discount!
Solid no-nonsense burgers at a fair price. Sometimes a bit overcooked, but usually the patties are juicy, and lettuce, tomatoes, pickles are fresh.
Jason AndersonOctober 17, 2015First time here. Fries were excellent and the Burger was superb! Meat was tender and juicy. I'll definitely be back here again!
Stéphanie NamDecember 17, 2014Fast, good service and a great burger for the price ($6)! There are also veggie options.

Chantae VetriceAugust 18, 2013The veggie burger was probably one of the best I've had anywhere, surprisingly. The staff is very nice & fast! I will definitely be back!
CompassMay 15, 2014The clean-lined burger diner is popular for it’s all-natural angus beef patties, hand-dipped milkshakes, and casual vibe.
Can't go wrong with anything here! Great spot especially since there are so few good places in Court Square- Execution is a little inconsistent. Sometimes the fries are among the best I've had at any fast casual spot, but sometimes they're crazy salty or somewhat soggy.
RichSeptember 1, 2013Awesome burger. Sweet potato fries are a must. Fried pickles were good and the shakes were stellar!!!!- Guha ArunkumarMay 7, 2019Classic veggie burger is awesome. Cheese fries too. The shakes are the bomb.
Serious EatsApril 17, 2013Simple, thin diner-style burgers here, among the best in Long Island City.
Good burgers, fries and milkshakes. Try the BG loaded fries once, they are crazy
JenKuduApril 3, 2013Really great burgers, all cooked medium unless otherwise specified. Split an order of onion strings too ;)- JenKuduOctober 13, 2013Great milkshakes and malts. Burgers are always good. Sweet potato fries yes, cheese fries no... Not worth the price.
- Really good thick milkshakes. Black & white is probably the best of the lot.
Shayla N.March 15, 2013Order ahead of time during the lunch time rush. Go for the veggie burger with sriracha & the works.
First We FeastAugust 3, 2014Burger Garage has the best $5 cheeseburger in the five boroughs. Read more
Dave LazAugust 9, 2016Counter staff was helpful and humorous and the wedge salad was awesome and very filling!
- Fried onion strings are a complete waste, just tiny crumbly bits. Just get the fries.
robinOctober 13, 2013One of the best burgers I have had in a long time. Luckily it's not "too" close to my apt
Nic GMarch 19, 2013ignore what others may say, this plays blows 5 Guys out of the water. I ate here even when I lived in Harlem.
Thomas AlfreeNovember 19, 2015Tasty Food, but definitely not cheap. Should not be classified with a single $. Cashiers were not friendly, they were abrupt and short
One of many favorite place to be after a hard day of class. Awesome food too! #TSBCC
