Excellent
The perfect $15 burger. That is to say: NOT some high-end "reinterpretation" calculated to allow foodies to indulge in the humble hamburger guilt-free by larding it with fancy (and pricy) gourmet frills. And NOT your neighborhood greasy-spoon's fast, cheap and reliably mediocre $6 special. This is simply the classic burger, done in five or six varieties (beef, turkey, veggie, etc.), generously proportioned (10oz.) and executed exceptionally well. Fresh high-quality ingredients are flawlessly prepared, juicy, delicious, and matched with equally mouth-watering sides and desserts (and a daunting bar selection). One could wish the prices were a few dollars lower -- but my waistline is thankful that they're not, or I'd be eating there far too often. As it is, I've visited 5NB perhaps half a dozen times in as many months, and never left feeling less than deliriously satisfied.

Won't Need 5 Napkins
I did not eat at this location, but the one in Astoria. This was a big disappointment. If you are on the search for the best burger, you wont find it here. I don't love thick burgers because they almost always are overcooked (if you're not ordering rare). At this place, the burgers are big with only one piece of cheese --- seriously? There was truly nothing special about the burger or fries, btw, the fries are an additional fee. You will find a way better burger at your local diner.

Overpriced, crowded, soggy fries
Despite it being a hot spot in midtown, 5 Napkin Burger is a disappointment. The atmosphere is extraordinarily loud, the crowds are out of control, you'll have a long wait, and the fries are ALWAYS soggy and greasy, the burgers are too big to enjoy. I've never had a good meal there. Overrated and overhyped.

Great burgers
Very good burger, juicy (let's face it a burger without grease is pretty boring), wish i had ordered the rings,had fried dill pickle appetizer and with burger there would have been no room for the rings. I will go there again, for sure.

Great burgers, great service!
This is a great, go-to place for pre-theater, but we went on Memorial Day Monday, and we had a great meal. Portions are huge, so appetizers aren't exactly a great idea, but my brother wanted to try the artichoke dip, and it was excellent, served with both crostini and endive for dipping. I had the bacon cheddar burger, just as well done as I like it; my brother had his burger rare, and both came at the same time and were perfect. Good French Fries, amazing onion rings. Too full for dessert. Highly recommended.

Best burgers, very original!
Lovethis diner-feel restaurant. Try to make reservation or prepare to wait. Servings are huge. Ahi burger is my favorite!
