Very strong burger joint. Vibes are great, retro, simple. Easy place to hang out. I got the classic with fries (impossible patty). The burger has McDonald’s double cheeseburger vibes in that it has thin patties. It’s very good. The size of the burger and the portion of the fries, imo, is small for my preference, which is my only reason for not leaving 5 stars.

Small place, a bit pricey, but the food was perfect, exactly what you expect. The key here is that it's near the Barclays arena, and in a nice neighborhood. Can't beat the location to get a decent burger, fries, and a shake.
December 2025
Got the burger and 2 hot dogs. I wasn’t expecting it but the chili dog was seriously so memorable (maybe even more than the burger I hate to admit). Nonetheless, the place was decked out in the most adorable Halloween decorations and I loved the dinner style. The service and place generally was so welcoming. 10/10
