Sharon GoldsteinJune 29, 2015Classic burger with Gruyere and caramelized onions is a must. Kale salad was a pleasant surprise.
Alan MortonJuly 27, 2017Very nice burger place however always share the fries there's so many and the burger is massive!
MatthijsOctober 25, 2014If you try the 5 napkin burger and are brave enough to eat it out of your hands: Ask for more napkins, you'll need more than 5
Valentina GregoliApril 17, 2017Go for the Napkin burger! With sweet potatoes chips. Forget about the diet and go for it! Enjoy 😊
David WApril 4, 2012Great burgers, fabulous fries! We ate at the bar. Great service! If your thinking about the veggie burger ask question, very good, but a bit different.
Ben SmithJuly 30, 2014Great outdoor seating when it's nice out. If your looking for a burger go for the Avocado Ranch, you won't be disappointed.
AlaaJune 27, 2019Classic burger & 5 napkin burgers were nah. But the crispy Buffalo Chicken Burger is Awesome 👏🏼 🤩
p kAugust 4, 2017Tasteful burgers 😊 Many choices that cover all the tastes. Vegetarian burger is excellent!!
Camp BroadwayApril 23, 2012One of our fave NYC sit-down spots for a burger. Going pre-theatre? Make a reservation a day in advance. This joint is popular with locals.
Definitely order the original burger. The gruyere cheese makes for a great flavor which melts in your mouth... Om nom nom
My Damn ChannelDecember 13, 2011We eat here a lot because it's ridiculously close to My Damn Channel HQ, the burgers can't be beat, & every once in a while we see a celebrity & squeal like little girls!
Michael WilliamsMarch 17, 2010The New Five Naps on the UWS has a brunch burger. Sloppy as hell! 10 oz sirloin, 2 0z canadian bacon and a sunny egg on a small brioche! Eat it with your hands and sicken the onlookers!!!
David IngledowMarch 18, 2015The fries are awesome here and the veggie burger is so good, even meat eaters should get it too!
Chris LynnNovember 2, 2018Bacon cheese burger was very tasty and great to sit al fresco on a Thurs in Nov!

Francine AristmunhoJuly 17, 2017really good service and ambient but the bread of my bacon cheddar and my friend's buffalo chicken burgen were kind of dry :/ though
Vito TartagliaOctober 7, 2015The original 5 napkin burger is great. Good service. Quote expensive though.
John BrianJune 28, 2015Get the Veggie Burger! It's my favorite and is better than any of their burgers with meat.

Kimberly PerryMay 23, 2014Try the original, you won't be disappointed! The rosemary iaoli makes this so delicious and unique!
Valentina MonteJuly 29, 2011original 5 Napkin Burger: quite possibly the greatest burger i've ever had in my life. it was perfect and anything I've ever wanted a burger to be and more.
Original Burger is a must and needs nothing on it but what it comes with. Get it with 'tater-tots,' which are actually mashed-potato-tots. Love it!
- Mary LlorenteNovember 12, 2011Took my little sister here for a birthday lunch before shopping. Great burgers, sweet potato fries, milkshakes! and the sushi was pretty good too.
Whitney EnglishSeptember 5, 2011We're always looking for a delish burger, and we found it at Five Napkin Burger. Warning: you really will need five napkins, but fortunately, they provide cloth napkins. Delightful!
Mager MagerMay 25, 2011Get the original 5 napkin burger. The onions and cheese are soooo savory. The bread is perfect and fluffy. Medium rare is the only way to go.
Fran Martin MartinezJune 9, 2014The original 5 napkin burguer is one of the best burgers I have ever tried. Excellent
JD MaloneSeptember 10, 2017Everything is wonderful here. Service really depends on the day. It a never horrible but you can be forgotten.
Reverend RonJuly 20, 2010The Original Five Napkin Burger is so good I've never even tried the other burgers. Everytime I think I will,someone next to me orders the Five Napkin right next to me and I'm right back ordering
Pablo PérezNovember 8, 2019The 5 Napkin Burger is not that good, it is decent but not something to spend a visit if you are a tourist. The wings are good and big and the place is real nice.
Lewin Higgins-GreenFebruary 14, 2017Love the delicious veggie burger. Nice atmosphere and service too.
Village VoiceNovember 14, 2011Winner of Best Veggie Burger in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! The bun, veggies and burger work in perfect harmony.
Elvis MartinezAugust 23, 2011This location offers fast service, and great food. Order the steak fries, and the bacon burger. One area that needs improvement , the black bald waiter ( don't know his name ) is slow.- MissKris 🎀 1011May 7, 2010Tuscan fries are to die for!!! Definitely worth the extra dollar for the substitute...Veggie Burger is the best veggie burger i ever had. Get it inside out and really be healthy!!!!
- Laura KNovember 17, 2010For the love of all things holy order the original. The gruyere cheese and rosemary aioli ....to die for. I had their 5 nut brew, too. Amazing.
Brunch burger FTW. And the blueberry mint lemonade. Yes. Yes.
