$60 for 2 people. Burgers and fries and 1 soda. Burgers tasted like they were from frozen paddies. Waitress was pleasant but atmosphere was dark and funky. Won't be coming back.

Beautiful typical American place, very nice and friendly waitresses and overall an excellent environment. I can't say the same thing about the food unfortunately; I'll start by saying that the place is divided into 2: hamburger restaurant and steakhouse and I only tried the first, but the hamburger was really bad, dry and tasteless, it was also very small and the chips were extremely salty. I should go back to evaluate the steakhouse too, but for now I failed

Food was horrible. My wife & I ordered the Wild Spicy and Empire Spicy Chicken burger. Our burgers were very lack luster. Worse than a McDonalds burger. The Truffle Fries had no truffle. The Mac & Cheese taste like $1 box Mac & cheese.The service was below average. Our server greeted us with “Hi! Can I get you any drinks?” Very very informal. Definitely WOULD NOT recommend!!My drink was great: I ordered the Empire Martini.

The food here is consistently good; it truly is a neighborhood gem. Allen, our server was exceptional, right there whenever needed or even before~ The food is a real bargain for the quality and price. It should be jumping every lunch/dinner hour!

We went for NY Restaurant Week and we weren't able to get into this actual restaurant. We had to go to the actual steakhouse to get in. While the room is beautiful it's a little outdated. The burgers was extremely thin. The Caesar salad was very good. The service was good.

Experience was traditional NYC—in a good way. We sat upstairs: atmosphere was quiet; we were one of two customers but business picked up. Burgers are smashed and juicy! One of the best burgers I've had in awhile. Sides were also tasty and large enough to share. Server was pleasant and attentive.

Food was horrible I asked for well done chicken wings and they came out like they never went in the deep fried. My burger was horrible and it had no cheese and it said it on the menu. My service was also horrible. Definitely don’t recommend!!

Very accommodating, we had a reservation but there was mixed up due to a private party, however the restaurant staff took care of use with no issues of having to wait. The burgers were excellent and the staff were top knotch .

Terrible. It looks like a supermarket burger. I still felt sick.

I definitely should have gone to Burger King or McDonald's instead. That so-called spicy burger had absolutely no taste and was basically just a flavorless bun. I could barely detect any meat, and I'm convinced the bread wasn't even real. There's no way I'm ever going back there again.

So disappointing! Their ‘signature’ Bull bacon burger is dry and tasteless, the meat is worse than in Macdonald! Also it’s not cheap. When you go for cheat meal you expect to eat sth unhealthy but at least to get a pleasure, but it’s not the case. The service is poor too. Would not recommend this place.

Loved the vegan burger here. And the ambience and aesthetics are just amazingly royal.

The food was disgusting! The burger patty was dry and tasteless. The only thing that tasted good was the fries. Don't waste your money.
