AlAnoud A AlGhunaimAugust 19, 2017The hidden gem of NYC. Behind those velvety curtains, a rustic vibe will shock you. Simplicity, deliciousness & energetic. Loved the burger, cheese burger, medium well, the works. Enjoy every second❤️

Patrick PriceApril 10, 2014Great burger place in one of the most unlikely places. On your left immediately after the front desk of the hotel. Very limited seating, so grab a seat when you can. BURGER NAZI !!

Eric FriedmanMarch 22, 2014This burger spot tucked away inside the hotel is great for a cheeseburger, fries, milk shake combo. 90s posters and signatures on the walls make the divebar-esque atmosphere. Worth the trip!

Dee PhunkMay 10, 2013I don't know if it's a top five burger in NYC. But definitely in the top ten. A must visit if you don't mind sticking out a wait amongst throngs of tourists. Bring a marker to sign the wall.
Terri RFebruary 1, 2017Do what most people recommend and get your burger medium rare with the works. Don't be like me and eat your burger on a park bench unless you're prepared to get ketchup and mayo on your pants.
Fernando KikudomeJanuary 19, 2017Simple and tasteful burger. Version with cheese and bacon is enough (but if you are hungry, ain't got no problem for ask the double one). The place is full of people, but you can eat quickly. Worth it
RamiAugust 12, 2014The burger is extremely delicious! Order a double cheeseburger, medium, the works (all toppings) with fries. Make sure you come early the line is almost 30 mins.
The Burger Joint is the best place to hang have burgers w/fries in a brown paper bag, brownies even!. You can have a coke, beer, milk shake!.. Very pricy;best place in New York City
SJuly 24, 2015Soooooo damn good ❤️ one of the tastiest juiciest burgers ever .. The place is so tiny and hidden but so worth it.
Velvet LerangeJune 8, 2022I got a cheeseburger with the works. Very juicy succulent burger. I finished in about 30 seconds because of how good it was. Just a really solid burger that couldn’t go wrong.
Marc MayerJune 3, 2015You really gotta follow your nose to find this awesome hidden spot. Once you're there, rehearse your order in your head. Ordering will be stressful, but well worth not going to the end of the line.
One of New York's best kept secrets. Your burger? Just call it "The Works", that's the way it should be. So, sit, share your table, make a couple of new friends and enjoy the best burger of your life!
Mustafa Taha ÖzalMay 14, 2016The best burger in the world. If you don't want to wait go weekdays before 8PM.
Great burger to go along with a good staff .. the line was a little long on a Saturday evening but the burger was well worth the wait and the brownie was pretty good also
Damian BayonaOctober 10, 2019A top tourist destination aka expect a long line & crowded space. Regardless, it’s worth the wait. I recommend keeping it simple - cheeseburger with pickles, fries & red wine to wash it down 🍔🍟👌🏻
brian.브라이언June 1, 2013NYC's worst kept secret. Great burgers and awesome atmosphere makes this burger joint (no pun intended) a great place to dine at. Make sure you know your order before you get to the cashier!
Markus AlvermannMarch 5, 2017Honest burger. Very tasty. Kid friendly (our son got a free ice cream and brownie). Hard to find, even if you know it's inside the LPM.
A L E XMay 24, 2015Get s rare burger with the works. Couple it with fries. Sit outside over to the right of the hotel in a park area. So worth it! One of the best burgers you can get in NYC.
Max HrabrovAugust 8, 2015Good burgers, but it's the funky atmosphere that you NEED to come here for! From the docor, to the music, to the way they serve the actual food, it's definitely worth a visit!!!
Alex HennesseyAugust 9, 2014This is the greatest burger in NYC, hands down. A burger of SUBSTANCE with no frills. Order it with the works. Fries are tasty too but not mind-blowing.
Chefs FeedAugust 3, 2016"After trying out 5 Guys burger, I have to say that The Burger Joint behind the curtain at the Le Parker Meridien hotel still has the best burger in history." - Chef Andrew Richardson Read more
Douglas SouzaOctober 19, 2014Simple and one of the best burger in town. Juicy and flavorful, you can easily get 2 of them !!! The chocolate milk shake and the French fries won't disappoint you as well!!!
Cecilia LealJune 3, 2014We walked for every where in the Le Meridien we were desesperated, and finally we sow a little burger, I can't believed that inside the Le Meridien exist this kind of restaurant, I love this burghers!
Ray LopesAugust 25, 2016The burger tastes delicious: the fat patty, the melting cheese, the crispy bacon. The restaurant decor is really cool. But overpriced: small burger, little avaliable sitting and too stressed staff...
Victoria MazzukiOctober 18, 2016One of the best burgers in NYC! It's an amazing experience to find a little hole in the wall shop in a luxury hotel.
David ZhangOctober 16, 2017Hidden behind the velvet curtain at le Parker Meridien. Go for a good classic burger, and the great music and ambiance.
Tom BurnsOctober 10, 2014Hands down the best burger to be had in Manhattan! Entrance is tucked away at the end of the hotel reception desk behind a curtain.,
Dov CohnOctober 27, 2017Totally hidden in the lobby of the hotel. It’s crowded but the line moves fast. if the line is still inside the shop, a table will clear by the time your order is ready.
Really good, vanilla shake is great, double hamburgers are hard to eat but totally worth it, one order of fries for two is enough.
William HAugust 23, 2014Pro-tip: Have your friend grab the first table that opens up, doesn't matter if you're still waiting on the line. Fries are overrated, burgers are as good as you'd hope, shakes are top-notch.
MAMarch 4Great burger place, so good! The double cheeseburger was huge, i couldn't finish it all and an order of fries would fit for 2 ppl its a lot too!
Shaun SimpsonJune 27, 2018Visiting from Cape Town and loved this place, unpretentious, well priced and delicious. Will be back for more. Just don’t think you misheard when the doorman says ‘behind the curtain’.
Felipe MinellaSeptember 16, 2013This hidden funky old school joint will surprise you! Indeed one of the best burgers in New York. And if you're really hungry, ask for the double cheeseburger with the works.
They take credit cards now—but bring cash to tip—and the burger is still one of the best in the city. Order a cheeseburger with the works and sweet potato fries.
AdriàJuly 11, 2015One of the best burguers I've eaten in a magic place hidden inside a hotel. Entering the lobby, to the left, follow the little hamburguer sign.
Van AndradeMay 2, 2015Best burger of my life. Perfect. This place makes a simple and perfect burger. You won't find a taste like these.
debzAugust 17, 2012hands down the best burger i've had in nyc. hidden to the left once you pass the front desk. line's long but it moves quickly. have someone in your party snag a table while you wait to order.
Begum TekinAugust 7, 2014It's hidden in the lobby of the Le Parker Meridien Hotel. The queue streches out the door, but it is worth the wait. It's legendary :)
LizaJuly 1, 2013Follow the neon sign into this little perfect corner. Great old school ambience, music, prices, and, of course, the hamburger.... mmmmm Recommended! (I'm no Bourdain but who cares? lol)
Camp BroadwayApril 23, 2012A great stop if you're looking for authentic, cheap eats near Carnegie Hall. Don't be intimidated by the fact that it's tucked away in the Parker Meridian. A low-key burger joint once you arrive!
Kevin O'NeillNovember 30, 2014If the lineup isn't too long then jump on in. Otherwise make your way down to shake shack for an even better burger. Ps. Don't forget the milkshake!
David NolanOctober 10, 2014Stumbled onto this place via 4Sq and almost bailed when we saw the line. Glad we didn't as it was worth the 30 min wait! It's now my number one burger place worldwide. Delicious!
Pramod PaiMay 8, 2015The no fuss menu makes picking your burger of choice painless: burger, cheeseburger are your options with sides of lettuce, tomato, onions, sliced pickles, mustard, ketchup or all of the above. Read more
Onur AvcıNovember 25, 2014The best Burger you can eat in NYC in this old school burger shack hidden in the lobby of the Parker Meridien. The Entrance is almost secret :)
Sarah ColvinApril 30, 2012One of my favorite spots in NYC. Seating is hard to come by, so be patient, be nice, and enjoy the community of folks who love the burgers and fries as much as you do! It's really great!
SparkieNovember 6, 2014Concealed behind curtains in the lobby of the bougie Le Parker Meridien Hotel, this gem serves some of the best burgers in the city, which may explain the frequently-long lines.
99UApril 22, 2014Tucked away in the Parker Meridien’s lobby, this is the go-to spot for a burger after you hit up MoMA. To enter, look for the neon burger sign. Sun-Thur: 11am-11:30pm | Fri-Sat: 11am-Midnight
Julie SosciaJanuary 29, 2019A very speakeasy burger spot located behind a curtain inside Parker New York. Go early to avoid lines and don't forget to order the fries too!
