50 Best Burger Restaurants in New York

“New York-35th Amazing staff! Mia C was on top of everything. She was thoughtful and fast. She was excited for my son who was turning 10. So much food and make sure you get a shake.“

“Great burger , Enjoyed true atmosphere right in the heart of the theatre district - 💯“

“Everything was incredible. Best burger, great service!“

“Great food n environment rocks“

“I have been passing by this place for some time now. The moment I entered, I was already greeted with an unique accent by a lovely host. She is very polite, professional, and attentive to all patrons. Eager to finally try their George Motz's Fried Onion Burger (I'm an onion guy), I found myself happily and quietly eating it. The double patties makes it so juicy and filling! It is not greasy unlike other places. And the fried onions adds a bit more of the crips and flavor. The french fries are simple and always great when out of the fryer. The food was simple, but great! And that, sometimes, is all that is needed to make fill up that hunger. Also, the bathroom is clean and big. Definitely recommend coming here for breakfast, lunch or dinner!“

“chill vibe. great burgers. super cocktails. good service“

“The Best burguer i tasted 😍“

“Exceptional burgers. Crispy fries. Friendly staff. Best combination!“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Royale. First it has an awesome bar and restaurant indoors and the space outdoors is beautifully decorated. I have celiac disease and they had the most delicious gluten free nachos (made on site) ever! They were perfect. I was so happy I could have them and they were excellent! Great atmosphere and food! Highly recommend when in the Village.“

“its straight up 🔥. best burger and fries I've had in years“

“Truly one of the best burgers I have ever had. The owner was working the counter when I was there and he has great customer service!! Was more than happy to explain the menu to us and give recommendations. Really reasonably priced for the city! The milkshake is the perfect way to end your meal!! Cannot recommend enough.“

“Great food, good service, good vibe!“

“I live in basically the middle of nowhere. Most food I eat is relegated to home cooking or traveling several towns over if I ever want to eat out. I'm visiting the city for a weekend. Oh my god I didn't know we were at this level. Genuinely some of the greatest plant meat food I've ever had. It's honestly a crime against humanity I have to go back and live in a place where this doesn't exist. Updated from previous review on 2026-03-01“

“Bareburger was an impromptu lunch spot that was unexpectedly great! We got the standard burger, and it was only $15 for the burger, fries + a drink during lunch (usually $21).

All around solid burger. The fries were perfection - crispy and salty. Ranch was great. Our soda was very flat but that’s okay.

Service was beyond good, top notch. The menu was huge, so many options for different types of meat, buns, toppings, etc. A great find!“

“My wife and I visited Handcraft Burgers and Brews for my birthday this past weekend. As soon as my wife opened the menu she knew that I was going to have to try the burger of the month which was a peanut butter and grape jelly topped hamburger with jalapenos, bacon and cheese. Admittedly I have never had peanut butter and jelly on a burger before but I figured I would try something new and see what all of the hype was about. Turns out, I loved it! Every bite was so flavorful and completely made my birthday lunch a worthwhile venture! We also tried the tater tots, because who doesn't love a good tater tot. We could have chosen from multiple dipping sauces but we decided to go with the garlic aioli and I am glad we did. I dipped each of my tater tots in the sauce and there was plenty for both of us to share. We were helped by Vanessa at the restaurant and she was very accommodating when I was having trouble using a coupon that I had for my birthday. All in all this was a wonderful choice for my birthday lunch and when we are in the area again I would definitely stop by and perhaps try the latest burger of the month along with some tater tots and garlic aioli dipping sauce of course!“

“Everything was incredible. Best burger, great service!“

“Food 3.75/5
Value 3/5

After hearing all the hype around Gotham Burger, we went in with high expectations. It wasn’t bad by any means, but it also wasn’t the best burger I’ve had in NYC. Personally, I’d still choose 7th Street.“

“We visited this restaurant and ordered a cheeseburger with fries and a drink, along with the chicken sliders. The food tasted average, but the fries were good. The restaurant serves halal meals and is conveniently located near Times Square. The price of the meal was around $12“

“Great food n environment rocks“

“This spot used to be a diner and Superiority Burger totally carries the legacy forward with the paper daily specials and slices of pearl pie in the refrigerated case.

That said, the menu here is unlike any restaurant anywhere. Honestly we didn’t even really know what we were ordering but the side of cabbage, fries, yuba sandwich and panelle were mind-blowing. Super wild flavors. Service was phenomenal.

I’m hooked. The pearl pie with fresh passion fruit was amazing.“

“The best burger I have had in years. You can visit this spot.“

“The burgers were absolutely delicious. However the staff seemed a little bit disgruntled today. Maybe it was just a bad day but it kind of affected me. I'll give it another shot though. Once again the hamburgers are very good french fries tasty atmosphere was wonderful.“

“Elk burger was delicious! Fries and onion rings were also great! Had takeaway and a couple of cocktails prior to food arriving which were also really good! Served by Javier G from Chile.. He was great and so were all the other staff too! Really good atmosphere and would definitely go back!“

“Great service and good. We will be visiting this place again ! They should franchise in Australia! 😜“

“Rating: 7/10
Date 6/2026

I ordered the Classic Smashed Double ($12). The burger flavor itself was great as the patty went well with the onions, pickles, and smashed sauce. The bun was great too. My only complaints are that it is a bit pricer compared to other places and the bun was too small for the patty, so not every bight was even. I like that their menu includes different variations of their smashburger. Overall, I would recommend this place if you’re in the area and want a good smashburger.“

“I really enjoyed this place. It has some retro charm. It even had a Photos booth and the food was good. The desserts were amazing. Largest milkshake I’ve ever seen in person and the staff was really nice and friendly and Alfredo the manager was really good guy.“

“Great late night place to grab a bite.“

“Great food and bartenders!“

“Very cozy place with truly delicious food 🤍
The burgers are juicy and fresh, with perfectly cooked meat 🍔
The wraps are light yet filling, with a great balance of flavors 🌯
And the homemade fries are pure love! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside 🍟🔥
The portions are generous, everything is served hot and beautifully presented.
The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting — definitely a place you want to come back to.
Highly recommend it to anyone who loves quality fast-casual without the “fast food” taste 😉✨“

“Yummy. What else can I say?“

“This was my third time coming here, and they won me over as a customer over 7th street, burger head, and all the others.

Burgers here are great! Juicy, flavorful, gentle crisp on the patties. All ingredients are always fresh and delicious.

Fries are to match the burgers. They serve battered fries and a selection of seasonings. Always hot and crispy, never under a lamp.

What really made me write this review was the SERVICE!
You can order from the tablet if you’re antisocial like me, get your food and sit alone… but the staff here are more than happy to take your order.

Today I came in for lunch, decided to try the chai shake. They were out of straws.
Jada (or Jayda, sorry, wasn’t paying attention, busy day!) told me this when she gave me the shake and said “I took the whole shake off, sorry about that”

No straw, but I can totally get one somewhere else…. For the price of a shake, I can get 2 sodas.
This was a great recovery for something so small.
It made me think back on the days when I worked food service, and would think “eh, they’ll get a straw somewhere”

5 minutes later, Jada came back with a straw!
Somewhere close-by probably helped out, but it’s this level of SERVICE, that’s commendable.

To the owners and managers reading this, I really hope ms Jada gets a raise.

Will be coming back here about twice a month for lunch and whenever I’m in the mood for a burger.“

“Outstanding Service, Excellent Burgers, Fish Tacos and Salads. Highly Recommended.“

“Love the food“

“Best burger in NYC. No bells, no whistles. Just a mouth-watering, flavor-bombing burger. Everything about it is top notch. Tastes the way burgers in commercials look. I have to look up the website every time I'm here because it's crazy that a kosher burger tastes this good.
Excellent service, very small space, out of this world burgers.“

“Great food and friendly service!“

“Love outdoor dining and of course their veggie and vegan burgers. And of course sweet potato fries 💜“
