    Best Burgers in NY (food beats the 5.0 scale)-and fries and everything. shame if you miss it

    Anyone who says that this place is bad doesn't know anything about a good burger, You asked for medium rare, you get it. The fries are crispy, the staff is wonderful. I know it's a loud place, but if you are craving a burger, especially after a long night out, this place is it. How much better could it be the best burgers in NY open super late on weekends?? They cook it right when you order, no frozen burgers, just the perfectly cooked old school with a hamburger bun. And, the Chili is amazing (not to mention the Key Lime pie-that is if you have room) i know there are lines but it's worth the wait. they do try their best to seat you as quickly as possible, and if you can't wait, take a seat at the bar where the bar tenders are attentive and get your burger to you in record speed. Even Oprah named this one of her top ten burgers in the country. THAnk Goodness for Melons!

    Poor service

    Food is good as well as prices but the poor service, even when delivering spoils the whole experience. Always busy, many times a wait line, rude phone service due to the hectic environment. Memo to the owners: Maybe is time to open a new location.

    Don't forget the Chili!

    I found this place late one night by accident and had no idea I was in for one of the best burgers I've ever had. I've been a few times now and have also discovered that the bowl of chili (with cheese and onions) is damn good.

    Best Burger in the City, Worst Tap in the City

    the best burger in the city..juicy and delicious. the problem with the place is the beer tap. the beers are usually warm and gross. The place is always packed also, so, while you wait for your table, you are drinking warm beers. I sent my beer back my first time there...the bartender responded with "our customers drink them so fast, they dont even notice". The other problem with the place is the bartenders are not good.

    Overrated, poor service!

    Not sure what all the hype is about. Food is ok, service is not good!

    Great Burger, small sized beers

    Not sure if I'd classify the burgers as greatest in the city, but if you live in the UES it's def. worth going to end those burger cravings. A bit disappointed about the small draft beer sizes. I think they are 8oz? I honestly don't think the burger is worth the wait, nor the crowds.
