Baby, it's OK, but I say find a diner!!
Don't nobody need to pay $14+ for a burger, fries, and drink. At least without a waitress in the mix. I had the beef burger, which I can tell you was not all that fabulous. Honey, I felt like saying "where's the beef!" The burger was small, and darlin', I could buy the buns in a sack of 6 down at the supermarket. Nothing special! I carefully seasoned my fries, which were crisp enough I guess. I can't comment on the veggie burger like the people below, but honey, if I can't stand a turkey burger (gobble gobble!) I really can't stand a veggie burger. Get your veggies the way they were made by nature!! I think I will try the coffee shop the next time, and get some pie with my meal for the same price!!

Veggie Burger, eh..
Have been eyeing the place for quite some time now, especially after reading the review by JML on the "Best Veggie Burger Anywhere". And to be fair, I just had an outstanding veggie burger this week so my expectations were quite high - but overall the 3-star review this place currenty has is quite appropriate. I am a huge veggie burger fan, but this one just didn't cut it for me. Ordered a burger with cheese and a side of fries. The fries were fresh, but bland - not enough salt/pepper or and kinda seasoning and the burger, while edible, wasn't above par. I'd rate it better than the soy-crap they had at McD's/BK for a while, but that's not much a standard to be put up against. To try AWESOME veggie burgers in NYC, pick any one of these places - The Emery Bar, Coffee Shop, Zaitzeff, Five Napkins, Houstons - even a Five Guys grilled cheese w/veggie toppings is wayyyy better.

Best Veggie Burger Anywhere
Seriously the best veggie burger I've ever had (and I've had A LOT). Extremely tasty and worth the splurge. Their fries are also excellent. The service for delivery usually takes forever, but it's worth the wait. I wish everyone made veggie burgers as well as GoodBurger. GoodBurger, I love you!

Backyard Burger.
is more like it. This is a burger anyone having a backyard BBQ could make. No pizazz here. Tiny generic buns surrounds a burger with tiny generic taste. When i walk out of a burger joint spending $15 on a burger fries and a drink it better be great. The fries out shined the burger and the milkshakes cost more than beer. I always tell my co-works it tastes like anyone could make that burger there is nothing special about this place except how less you'll have in your pocket when you walk out. it should be noted the place is tiny so be prepared to make friends while eating, and the service is slow.

Hey, I was impressed for sure.
My friends and I go out for burgers every week at a different place. I had never been here and I had time after work to give it a shot. For the money, this is well worth it. It costs many dollars less than Better Burger and was 10X better. They cooked it perfectly to my request and it was extremely juicy. The lettuce and tomato were both fresh and crunchy. At least the lettuce was. The taste of the burger was sensational for a semi-fast food type of restaurant. You go up, order your food, wait, then go pick it up. For $6.50 this could easily be the best burger in town. Not as big as say, Jackson Hole, but it's also half the price. To me Food and Value go hand in hand. There was no wait whatsoever and it probably took only 4 minutes to get my burger fresh off the grill. Well worth the trip. For $10 and no tipping, you'll be impressed.

you have GOT to be kidding
this is one of the best burger joints in NYC. the way to go at this place is getting a medium cheese burger with the works, that includes ketchup, mayo, mustard, onions, lettuce, and tomato. it is really one of the best and i have been to all of the most well known burger joints in the city and i still find myself going back to Goodburger at LEAST once a week. i cannot BELIEVE people think that it is mediocre at best. it is a little small, granted, but you can get an amazing meal for under 15 bucks here! must try you can't always believe bad reviews

ok burger overpriced nice seating
I was surprised that the burger wasn't more substantial for the price they charge. There are other places that offer bigger fresh grilled burgers for 2/3 the price. However, the dining area at Goodburger is nicer than the limitted seating at the dives I'm thinking of. If your looking for a relatively nice, clean place to sit down and eat Goodburger is probably worth the price - after all it is midtown Manhattan, But for takeout or a real quick bite, there are better options.
