Still the best
THE BEST burgers. PERIOD.
Stella on tap, worth the wait
Interesting meal here.
The burger is served dry, so you'll need to sauce it up as you prefer. The burger patty is much smaller than the bun...
The place is very small, so the tables are packed tightly together.
When waiting for the restroom, there isn't anywhere to stand. Our waitress tonight screamed at me and told me to get out of the way. I apologized and asked her where I should move to get out of the way. She aggressively told me that it was not her problem and to get out of the way. No help our guidance. Just really agressive rudeness.
Its really loud inside and you have to pay with cash only...
One of the best! They only take cash !

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.
