Once again, I was reaffirmed that the Original 5 Napkin Burger is the best burger in NY. Complimented by the Tuscan fries and great craft beers on tap, I was more than happy. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Nice if a bit casual. Make a reservation if you're dining during the weekend. Great service and you can get safe, yummy gluten-free food; just ask your knowledgable server for help with the menu.
KarenFebruary 4, 2018Best item here isn't a burger. It's the chicken and waffles. With the excellent service, great dining experience to be had here!
Corine CohenFebruary 27, 2014This is the best of the chain. I love the happy hour. They have the most amazing 2 dollar hand rolls in the City. The hand rolls are either spicy salmon and spicy tuna amazing bar food. Skip the wine!
M DFebruary 24, 2019We've been here a few times and the food is always good and more importantly the service is always good. The only downside is your burger does NOT come with fries - you have to order them separately.
Meir SadanAugust 5, 2013The original's a bit on the weird side but very good and huge and done right, and comes with fries on the side. If you're a group you can share cheddar tots which are excellent.
Desirée MacDonaldJune 9, 2015Hands-down one of my favourite burger spots in the city. Huge portions, incredible food, and tasty Bloody Mary's. Make sure to also try the onion rings!
Raysa LebronSeptember 16, 2013First time seating outside at this place! Food is amazing as always. I love the environment and the crowd that this place attracts! Deff worth the time. Ruby red martini also delish!
Valerie SJuly 30, 2017Great burger joint. Super spacious and lots of tasty food options. Try one of the massively-portioned "burger salads."
Good for a quick meal! The sliders are great, late nights from 10-12am they have happy hour. $2 sliders and $4 draft beers! I have to come back! The bartender sucks tho, think his name is manny.
Kimmie OhhJune 30, 2020The service was excellent. The waitress was very friendly & knowledgeable about the menu. Burgers are very juicy so you’ll need extra napkins.
Bailey CaegJune 8, 2013The macaroni is AMAZING! One of the best macaronis I've ever eaten. You can replace the fries for Mac and cheese one order of fries is enough for a whole table.
Amy ThaiMay 9, 2013their tater tots are nothing like the traditional tots you're used to eating on grade school. they're more like deep-fried scoops of mashed potatoes
Corey WallApril 12, 2012Just look at that burger. original 5 napkin burger with mounds of guacamole added on and of course, sweet potato fries. Will definitely journey back for another burger soon (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Isaac GruberJanuary 21, 2013Vegetarians: get the veggie burger patty with any of their burger combos. I love the 5 Napkin Original. And it's been said before: go with Tuscan fries.

Betsy SwannFebruary 22, 2014Looking for brunch but not in the mood for burger? Fear not - plenty of non-burger options! Also they can accommodate the gluten free diets.
IfeoluwaJanuary 18, 2015One of the best value happy hours in town. From 4pm to 7pm on weekdays, $2 sliders, $2 sushi rolls, 50c wings and $4 drafts.- Roman TemkinFebruary 8, 2016The veggie burger was great. Go with the veggie burger. Not kidding. I'm not vegetarian, and I was so pleased with it.
Kayla SpragueSeptember 14, 2013The absolute best veggie burger I have ever had. Filling and so flavorful. My carnivore girlfriend wish she got it! Amazing.
Esther LeibelApril 6, 2014Excellent burger, and very kids friendly! I didn't love the poached eggs with spinach and artichoke, though.
Munirah AlOqlaAugust 20, 2014Simply DELICIOUS! Try the Original Five Napkin Burger and the Garlic Butter Broccoli ❤️

Maarten PeschierAugust 6, 2014For a no-carb delicious meal here, try the burger salad! Literally burger patty on a salad!
FRANCESCA MANIERIApril 16, 2012Avocado burger amazing! Plus if you're anything like George Costanza you'll be happy to know they have the cleanest public bathroom in Union Square
Jonathan PerezOctober 16, 2015Burgers are a bit pricey but overall a decent selection, cheesy tots have become a fav for a side.
Willem Van LanckerAugust 2, 2015One of the few restaurants in the area that feels like your eating at a mall anywhere in America. Tons of TVs, attentive service, average burgers.
AyinDecember 15, 2015The happy hour specials from 4-7 PM and 10 PM-close are really quite the great deal!
Helen LinSeptember 3, 2012Takes 20 mins but worth the wait. And best skinny fries around #5N #originalburger
Eric TashJuly 11, 2013The veggie burger continues to amaze me time and time again. And I'm not a vegan or vegetarian. Wow.
Matthew DMarch 5, 2014Best onion rings Ive had so far. Panko and salt, but be sure to mix tabasco with your ketchup.
Sari NicoleNovember 3, 2013ahi tuna burger cooked medium rare with a side of sweet potato fries to dip in the rosemary aoli ... unbelievable.
Matt SzenicsApril 11, 2012Try any of their burgers, you will not regret it. Also be adventurous with the beer, it usually ends up being good.
Tom WangJuly 2, 2015Burgers aren't huge or anything but make up for it in flavor. Fries are the bomb
Get the pumpkin spiced shake. Amazing fall flavour!!
Thijs van SchadewijkAugust 13, 2014The girls preferred sushi and that was good too (not the best ever but duh, it's a burger place ;)
