I had a wonderful night here with my husband and best friends after seeing the Halloween decoration on the neighboring streets ?

The service was great, it was a bit too noisy and crowded but the food made up for it

Bombastic place with an electric atmosphere. We were seated at the best table in the middle of the rush hour, and the staff was very friendly and clarified that it was cash only, with an ATM across the street at Wells Fargo. Our food arrived quickly.

If you're craving a classic bar burger, this is the spot! My partner and I both enjoyed greatly. Completely blew our socks off as many locals warned, it’s definitely the best bar food ever

Old school Upper East side diner. Great place for a burger. Remember it’s cash only! The fries weren’t anything to write home about but nice place for a casual lunch.

JG is an NYC and UES classic. It’s hands down my favorite burger in NYC. JG Melon is approachable, authentic and dependable. A neighborhood staple and one of those place that makes NYC great.

Doesn’t really live up to the hype, burger was solid but the fries were just burnt crisps and my poor vegetarian friend had to endure an extremely disappointing grilled cheese, it shouldn’t even be on the menu. staff was lovely and vibe nice but unless you are nearby not worth the trip

The food is great and at a good price. However, I would argue the service is not great enough for me to want to come back soon

One of the simplest, tastiest, best burgers in town. Forget about arti-fancy-hightech b.s burgers, this is a burger for burger lovers and non-act food. Looks like this place is stuck in the 70's and it feels great. A bit crowded inside but that's a part of the experience.

Burger was well done although we ordered medium. The waiter just took over 20% tip without even asking (for a table of two)

Cute place with a bustling atmosphere. We were seated outside quickly, and the staff was very friendly. We hadn't noticed it was cash only, but they kindly directed us to an ATM across the street at Wells Fargo. Our food arrived quickly.

If you're craving a classic bar burger, this is the spot! My partner and I both had the Bacon Cheeseburger. While it didn’t blow our socks off as some locals claimed, it’s definitely solid bar food if that’s your thing.

Sat at the bar. The chili bowl was delicious. Bacon cheeseburger was delicious (GF without bun). No cocktail menu but they will make pretty much anything you want. Cute watermelon theme. Cottage fries were just ok.
