DimkaJune 28, 2016Burgers & shakes look & taste fantastic! We were served by nice guy Anthony and he did everything to keep us happy - the wait was too long(they need to get organized tbh),line on the street is a trick
Paddy JonesDecember 5, 2015Ordered just a regular burger as soon as I saw it was Pat La Frieda meat. Delicious. Juicy. The perfect burger. Great fries too. Loses a point for small tap choice, but great overall.
Jastine KhoSeptember 24, 2016Came here on a Friday night- the wait was less than 15 minutes for a table for 2. The milkshakes were really delicious. You're crazy if you come here and not order a milkshake. Their food was good too
Theresa RoldanJuly 10, 2016The line was 30 minutes on a Tuesday @ 6:30p, and while it's gained popularity from the delicious (and well worth it!) shakes, the burgers are AMAZING.
Christa HoeglerJuly 28, 2016If you get there early enough (before 6 on weekdays) they'll let you in even if your whole party isn't there yet. All of their milkshakes are worth it!
Nancy KangAugust 28, 2017Awesome burgers, shakes AND service! I highly recommend you request Alex as your server. He was all ACES! Sharp, friendly, accommodating, attentive, perceptive. In general, ON POINT! Thx, Alex!
Damian BayonaDecember 20, 2015I love burgers and this place is no exception. The real stand out is the burger salad - looks like a salad, eats like a burger. Get the bison pesto.
AmateurConciergeOctober 4, 2016The 7.3 ranking is a harsh: it's not as intimate as soho location, but the burger quality is still strong...they're just making it easier for ur tween cousin to Insta her shake. Fries/rings need work
Hannah YuMarch 12, 2017The Greg Norman burger is spectacular. The onion rings are a mess (too much batter and sliced too thick); skip those and get the Idaho fries with truffle aioli.
TaraMarch 20, 2016We only waited an hour to be seated for our party of two. The Texan Burger was delicious, and the milkshake was good, but not enough milkshake for the amount of goodies that come with it.
Graylyn RooseAugust 24, 2017The burgers are excellent, the shakes are out of this world. The Cake Shake is my favorite..but bring a hungry friend to help you eat it! Try the falafel burger..also a good pick.
Sara 🌈⚔🍾August 8, 2016The milkshakes are works of art! Staff is great. If you're willing to sit at the bar, the line goes faster.
Crystal FerreiroMarch 6, 2016Cookie milkshake was amazing! If your sharing with someone I'd order a second plain milkshake because there were so many toppings but not enough shake. The fries were great the burger okay.
Kirk McMurrayFebruary 11, 2016Burgers are very good. Good craft beer selection. And amazing over-the-top milkshakes!
LeilaJuly 31, 2016Big portions and even bigger shakes. Those babies are huge. Do yourself a favor and share it.
Karon WMarch 25, 2017Bison burger and vanilla cookie milkshake are 👍 definitely try to split the milkshake
Leanne ZMarch 31, 2016Yes the milkshakes are phenominal (in a sugar coma kinda way). But the onion rings and dipping sauces are surprisingly good! Pretty standard burger! We waited two hours and the soho wait time is worse
Heartee VillaluzFebruary 26, 2016The milkshakes are the best for me! The cookie shake is so delicious i can't forget the taste of it. 😋😋😍
Nic BarajasNovember 20, 2015Excellent burger, but don’t miss the Brussels sprouts. Incredibly good food and nice local craft beer options.
Katerina👑🔨💍 IeromonachouNovember 6, 2017Amazing milkshakes (take the Oreo) good enough burgers. Rather pricey.
Elizabeth BursteinNovember 6, 2017This delivered off Uber eats - didn’t love it. The burger was way too thick. The horseradish sauce and fries were good, and the chocolate shake was delicious
Kara MundyMay 23, 2016They opened at noon on Mon and we got there at 1130am. Second in line. Waited 30 min. High recommend arriving before open to avoid lines
ChristinaApril 6, 2016The burgers and milk shakes are good, don't get me wrong; the wait isn't worth it. Mgmt could serve quicker but they choose to baby sit your order to keep the line outside strong.
Morgan McKeeJanuary 29, 2017Walked by at 1pm on a Sunday... no line. Had to try the (in)famous milkshakes. Shake didn't disappoint, food was just alright. We covered our bases with regular and vegan burgers but left unimpressed.
Jud WaiteApril 19, 2016The burger was phenomenal, shake was also good. Noticed that the place was fairly vacant, yet the wait was long. Image is powerful.
Zach BullekOctober 30, 2015The burgers are awesome. Finished it off with a Nutella and peanut butter milkshake. Great spot
Daniel WDecember 29, 2016Burgers not worth the wait. Sit at the bar and get a shake, they are awesome
Nicole HAugust 1, 2016Milkshakes were great...if you're going with a large group of people defintley get there for when it opens, waited almost 3 hours for a party of 6. Milkshakes are $15.
Aljohara GNovember 21, 2016Burgers and shakes were good. However, expect to stand in a long slow line to get in. After being seated, the food takes forever to arrive. If I want to eat here again, I'll try the Broom St branch.
Hands down best burgers in NYC! New location rocks! @brunchboys
Andrew CDecember 21, 2016Milkshakes were delicious (4 of us split two kinds) and lived up to the hype... food was overrated though - fries were crispy and on point, but burger was boring- David MilbergAugust 12, 2016I feel bad for tourists waiting so long for a burger on their vacation instead of sightseeing. Mgmt could definitely be making it go faster. But my milkshake was very good.
- Chad HornerOctober 16, 2016obviously the milkshakes are super hyped-up, but they are a bit of a letdown as anything more than Instagram bait
Davy KeseyMay 10, 2017It's a cool idea, but you mostly eat the candy separately from the milkshake and the shake itself is just a 6/10. For $15, it's a let down. I'd rather have a McFlurry.
Philip MorrisFebruary 17, 2016Although we had to wait almost 4 1/2 hours to get food, the burger and shakes were great.
Olivia AliceMay 26, 2016Milkshakes are unreal but the burgers were definitely the best part of the meal!
Joey CasaleApril 19, 2016The shakes look amazing, however, it's filthy inside and the service sucks. The next day, both of my friends and I were super sick with stomach aches. 😝
NancerellaMarch 8, 2016Wait is a killer!!!! I have to say the milkshakes were amazing!!! But not sure I can do the 3 hour wait again....
Mike FriedlichApril 19, 2017Good place but wouldnt go back. Burger & Fries were very good but nothing special. Cookie shake was also nothing spectacular & overpriced. Too much whipped cream, cookies taste like chips ahoy
Mariana TostadoMarch 10, 2017Sweet potatoes fries are good. Cookie milkshake was extremely sweet I couldn't drink it. Burger was nothing special. No the best service and wasn't the cleanest place. Really disappointed. :(

"$6 burgers ($7 cheeseburgers) and 2-for-1 beers after midnight make this a great place to go to instead of the swanky places nearby with lines down the block. Music is quiet enough for conversion."
