Great old fashioned cheese burger

I ordered the cheeseburger was good a thick layer of meat but its under season needed more salt and pepper.

Newbies look at the menus. Regulars appreciate off-peak hours.

if it weren't for the crotchety old man at the door (hostess I think) the experience would have been better. this place blows chunks.

Best burger on the upper east side
David QuiñonesSeptember 15, 2016
Personally I've found the place a little bit overrated and costly. Go to Bareburger!

Stephanie MNovember 5, 2016
Our cheeseburgers were well-made but sadly weren't very flavorful. They were also $12 with no sides/toppings besides pickles, & fries were an extra $6. Throw in the bad service & I won't be back.
Mehul SrivastavaJanuary 20, 2021
Some great things here
Alphan B.January 29, 2015
Go for the bacon cheeseburger! 👊😋
Bill O'LearyDecember 13, 2014
Get the burger medium rather than rare. Rare is too raw.
Adam SigelNovember 9, 2014
Supposedly this is Dan Cortese's favorite burger in the city.
Paul MurdockApril 15, 2016
Amazing cheeseburgers
Brian MorrisseyAugust 15, 2011
