Very cool burger restaurant in the hip Lower East Side.

I had my first NYC hot dog experience here. The burgers others around me ordered also looked very juicy and delicious.

The hot dog was definitely worth every cent.

These burgers were honestly some of the best I’ve ever had, and I don’t even visit burger spots in NYC that often. The patties were perfectly crispy on the outside yet juicy inside, with melty cheese and soft, fresh buns tying it all together. Honestly, they were better than my own burgers!

The fries were nicely seasoned, simple but done right with a good hit of salt. My order came out fast too, maybe around 8 minutes, which is always a plus. And shoutout to them for offering a discount for my services, definitely appreciated.

I’d definitely come back here again when I’m back in the area and craving a burger.

What is the purpose of have an impossible burger if it can’t be made vegan? That defeats the purpose of selling an impossible burger.

The holy grail of smash burgers. As a resident of LA, I can say that this is one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. An excellent burger, with awesome fries and extras! Sauce is so good with the right spice. The atmosphere is really cool — inspired by pioneer town in many ways. Mike is a great owner/manager and made us feel so welcome. We will be back!

Stopped here for dinner on a Friday night after the 9/11 memorial. Absolutely phenomenal smash burgers. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. Service is quick and efficient. Playing country music and has a great vibe. Crispy fries! Ranch was extra but homemade. Would totally stop back on future trips to NY

Best Smash Burger! 5 Stars baby!!
The only improvement which could come to my mind is, that the burgers could be bigger and compared to that the fries are too big :)

Cannot say enough great things about Gotham. We’ve been fans of Mike’s smash burgers ever since he did pop-ups at Ray’s bar. We’re NJ natives but frequent NYC and I don’t think we’ve skipped on Gotham one trip up here because it never disappoints! We’ve also celebrated all our biggest moments here- we came after we got engaged on the Brooklyn Bridge, and naturally had to have our first meal there after tying the knot at city hall. Mike and his staff were so welcoming and generous, and even let us take photos with our photographer right when the restaurant opened. We’re so thankful for his hospitality and for making our special day that much better! WE LOVE GOTHAM!! 💙

My friends and I have been trying to try Gotham for forever but the line is always out the door and we are usually way too hangry to wait haha. But this time we finally got in and got a table! Man I am so glad we got to try. I’m allergic to red meat so I got the impossible burger and I legit thought it was normal meat!! And I cannot forget about the onion rings…… they were SO GOOD!!! Not soggy, super crunchy, very flavorful! Amazing experience and will be trying it again!
