Service was great, there was not a lot of people and food was great, beer was good, it was a good time with friends definitely, my wife had a chicken sandwich and it was shredded chicken as opposed to a single chicken piece and that’s was interesting, The burger was great

Ok the start of this experience was a little off Columbia University had a home game so it was a little busy at first. Sat outside ordered food and beer. Received no condemnation or napkin silverware. So I improvised because I was hungry. Got ready to pay the bill and ZACK apologized and took the bill without me paying. So I WILL COME BACK JUST NOT ON A SATURDAY

Went there for a couple of beers on Happy Hour. Staff was great! The bartender gave us samples of the beer we ordered beforehand to try.

Great spot just a short walk from Columbia and the Cathedral. The disco fries are a great twist on classic poutine, and the bar itself is very cool with a superb beer selection and a great place for a night out with friends.

Great service! I felt welcome from the moment we entered. The waiter was kind, attentive and not overbearing. The menu is simple and burgers can be substituted for beyond burgers. Priced reasonable and good happy hour drinks.

Got the California Burger with the spiked coffee shake which were both delicious! Really easy going and nice place to grab a casual dinner with friends?

Updated with fotos 6/27/2023. Happy Hour wine $5 a glass. Great rock and roll music. Beautiful wait staff. Good burgers and FREEDOM FROM COVID RESTRICTIONS. Maskless indoor dining. I am finally back home, free to be a New Yorker without the incarceration of fear. My very first place to run to after full vaccination was here. And I remember when we first had outdoor dining and they were pacing off the increments of how to place chairs and ropes and potted plants : ) on the sidewalk. Sheesh! FREEDOM at last. xxxox

One of the best burgers joints in the city. Perfect to catch a baseball or football game on a Sunday afternoon.

Agree with other reviewers that the new menu over the past few months is a definite step down in the offerings and taste. Many of the best classic specialty burgers, and even the waffle fries are gone and replaced with….less. Definitely knocks this place down from one of the best burger bars in the neighborhood to middling

Ordered a couple burgers and fries and it took over 20min for them to come out. When they did the orders were wrong. They served my vegetarian partner a beef burger and not a plant based burger like we requested. The food was also sub par and I would never go back. Definitely better places for a burger in the area.

I haven’t ordered a hamburger in years — or watched a Yankees game, either — but was persuaded to get Mel’s double burger. It’s sort of smashed with a special sauce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions in a truly delicious soft sesame bun. Order the French fries too! C’est magnifique!

Food was good. Shakes was good but fairly small. The menu images online list a lot of options not available in the restaurant. Also, the hours seem to be incorrect.

Prince Rage

Nice place, nice vibes. My order was wrong. Wish I checked before I left. I asked for no mayo...MAYO on the burger. I asked for honey mustard after being told they have it. Wasn't in the bag. Next time I come back if I do u gotta check the order before
