Tastes like it came off of a backyard BBQ. The fries are amazing but a cheeseburger with pickles is the way to go.
Julian NamNovember 5, 2010The not-so-secret burger in town. It's good, but is it worth the hype? At least you get to feel special for finding this "hidden" gem.- Nicola KorzenkoOctober 11, 2011duck around the velvet curtain in the lobby of the parker meridien and you'll find this hidden gem.
Sylvain BaillyAugust 2, 2011Nice retro decor and great service: drinks (soda, beers...) and shoulders/neck massage included!
Kevin BelbeyJune 29, 2015$16 for a double cheeseburger (no fry or drink) which tastes just like 5guys or Shake Shack
Marc BuonAugust 18, 2012The line seems to disappear after 9pm on Friday nights! Decent burger, not my best in NYC (ShakeShack better amongst others) but has a little something to it.
Shannon CoulsonMay 22, 2014I'm fairly certain I was the only American there - loads of different languages being spoken!
Lior ShekelDecember 30, 2018NOT WORTH THE WAIT! Took us over an hour to get in and its no better than a McRoyal. If you’re here just turn around find the next burger joint.
Sean WingDecember 26, 2012Great spot for burger and fries, if it weren't for the damn wait in line and tourists!
No longer the small place of yester-year. They’ve moved into Norma’s old spot.
EvaDecember 15, 2011Cheeseburger with the works. Worth the short wait. Sit and take in the NYC romance...
CurtisMay 12, 2012Keep it simple: hamburger, medium rare, mustard & ketchup. And a $1 tip will get you that burger faster.
Michael AnthonyOctober 25, 2023Idk what I’m missing here but my burger was over cooked, under seasoned and overall a big letdown given they hype.
Anyone who is anyone needs to try this place,best burger I have ever had,even had seconds :)
@cfnobleMarch 8, 2011Opens at 11am. The line is out the door by noon. To beat it, get there 11:45 (skip breakfast, you'll be fine)
- Victor Temistocles NardesNovember 19, 2015The meat is cooked to perfection, but that's the only plus. It lacks flavor (needs at least more salt) and they mount the burger so carelessly that I refused to take a picture. Don't bother
Dan ThompsonJanuary 20, 2011The food was good, although it ended up being more expensive than most of our other meals. Also the staff are quite impatient & the brownie was a let down. I'd recommend the Shake Shack more I think!

"They changed the mac and cheese! Now with green onions and bread crumbs. Still good, but it's no peas 'n bacon mac 'n cheese. Cadillac Burger is perfectly cooked and has a hint of sweetness. Get it."
