Marie BMay 11, 2016We ordered the Masterpiece (amazing bacon), the chicken sandwich with oniong rings (sweet sweet onion rings) and loaded fries. This is the best burger I ever had in my life!
One of the best burgers I've had in the city and such a great price, friendly staff and good vibes. Perfect place to meet good friends for beers and grub. Will definitely frequent this bar.
Fec FecowiczFebruary 17, 2015Don't know why this place has such a mediocre rating on Yelp, but this place has super tasty burgers. Also, great selection of beers on tap. I'll be back
Santi AmayaJune 7, 2015Their turkey burger with avocado is a guilty pleasure. It's big, messy, and everything you want from comfort food. Great for delivery, the actual space is quite dingy but charming
Raphael LangenscheidtSeptember 18, 2015The 'Masterpiece' was true to its name. Onion rings are great, fries were forgettable. Great burger joint with rock'n'roll attitude. If in the mood, this place is perfect.
annlouOctober 20, 2018Very good burgers and fries. Meat is juicy and good. The veggie burger is also good. We had it to go, but next time I’ll like to stay
Eli ShowalterMay 4, 2016Best damn burger in the EV. Very low key spot, but if Minca is overflowing next door I always come here. The fries with the garlic aioli is also delicious. What a 💎.
Nick El-TawilMarch 21, 2018Great spot for burgers, beers & sports! I’ve been here a few times and I’ve never been disappointed.
Arte YescasOctober 12, 2017These burgers are sooo tasty, worth every penny. French fries order is good for two. Good selection of beers.
Jason SpakJanuary 25, 2014Antonio is not only a fantastic server he has immaculate taste in 80's standards and 90's R&B. Oh and they are still slinging tasty burgers after all these years.
I was really impressed. This place serves one of the best burgers I've had in NYC. Will definitely be going back.
Sit at the bar for quick service and to watch the cooks quickly grill all the burgers. Get the burger with no bun & get extra sauce.
DensApril 20, 2015Great spot for burger in the EV but create a custom burger otherwise you'll be drowning in special sauce
Katie CongletonMay 7, 2016Black Iron Burger, hash brown burger, onion rings & loaded fries - all so incredibly delicious!
Bin YangNovember 15, 2014The masterpiece is the way to go. Grab some friends and sit in the back booth; you'll get a free pitcher if you all get them burgers
Ranu RajkarnikarOctober 23, 2014Can't go wrong but the patty melt is pretty darn good. Make sure you get a side of aioli fries, solid base for a night of drinking.
Julius TarngJuly 4, 2015Wow I've passed here so many times for Minca but the burger is really really good. The fried green tomatoes are insane - just a bit of the tomato juice taste
Sit at the bar! Service is generally iffy, which is a shame, because everything on the menu is spectacular. Go for the horseradish cheddar. You will not regret it.- Gluttony NYCFebruary 14, 2017Definitely get the spicy mayo to dip the shoestring fries! The burgers were cooked perfectly, so juicy!
- Hmm...If you want a greasy, heavy meal. This is the spot. A little grimy with the greasy but it works. And the menu matches the ambiance. Works for me!
Monica ZarateJanuary 19, 2015The Black Iron Burger is FLAWLESS. The classic with bacon and blue cheese. Wow. Best burgers in the neighborhood!
Sonia CostaSeptember 7, 2015Order the black iron burguer, garlic fries, onion rings and a Pitcher of Blue Point!
Ben FishnerAugust 29, 2014Fantastic onion rings. The buffalo wings are unconventional but great (battered, with the buffalo sauce on the side).
Brittany AApril 28, 2012The Black and Blue Burger is amazing (I added bacon) but skip the Black Iron "house" beer: It's just PBR with a made-up label on the tap. Don't be fooled!
Brigette K.August 6, 2014Cool little place, and the burgers were so good! Share fries with another person. Very dark inside. Good beer selection
NathanMarch 2, 2012Good burgers but I don't get why you have to eat at an unbalanced table with your arms tied behind your back trying to tilt the sandwich into your mouth like you were playing Hungry Hungry Hippos.
Nate BeattySeptember 6, 2015Bartender was curt, but got the job done. Turkey burger wasn't fresh, bun was too dense, and good toppings or sauce cost extra. In the EV, there are enough other options to be picky. I'm unenthused.
Carey (The ACE) HolnessNovember 12, 2013Great burgers and sides. If you can't decide between fries or onion rings, get both for just a dollar more!
Seriously one of the best burgers I had in a while (I got the black annd blue with bacon, medium rare). Also cool beer selection and some top notch fries
Hunter OrahoodJuly 25, 2014This is a place you will be coming back to over and over again if you live in the neighborhood!
Adalberto FernandezJune 25, 2018Try the Majestic burger and Loaded fries. They also make their own house made sauces
Thomas TaylorFebruary 2, 2013The onion rings are amazing but only 10% onion. If you don't suffer cardiac arrest, you can look forward to trying them once more!
The "Black and Blue" is my favorite burger in NY. Blackened with bleu cheese.
black and blue burger. wedge salad (more blue cheese!), veg (green bean) fries. beer. and milkshake. can't go wrong. Read more
Tiffany ValloAugust 22, 2011You definitely want to avoid here if you plan to go out after; it's like a grease storm inside. But the burger...wow! Indulge yourself and get the horseradish cheddar-you deserve it, really.
Cool aesthetic, great burgers, terrific onion rings, friendly staff, open late ... truly no reason to not give it a try.
The Little Italy burger is my favorite burger in the city.
Jessica ImbertJanuary 16, 2013Good burgers. Interesting seating. Be prepared to leave your handbag or belongings on the floor.. Tasty beer
- Order online and use the code BIB10 for 10% off every order. Super brilliant.
