Behrad EatsJuly 27, 2017It's all about the infamous Black Label Burger made with a selection of prime dry-aged beef cuts with caramelized onions and pommes frites.
EaterApril 18, 2013On the famous Black Label burger, Lockhart Steele: "At the high end, my personal favorite. Flavor overwhelms each time it is visited anew." Andrew Zimmern: "One of my top 10." Any questions?

Raquelle JessieJuly 18, 2015Get the minetta burger medium, it's still plenty pink. Also the meat is so good the bun is almost doing a disservice by existing. You also get like 3 portions' worth of AMAZING fries. Skip the pickle.
SparkieOctober 12, 2014Dry Aged Côte de Boeuf, Bone-In N.Y. Strip and Filet Mignon drenched in Roquefort Cheese that can be paired with your choice of four different types of delectable potatoes
Boon YapFebruary 1, 2013The dry-aged Cote de Boeuf is legendary, a tad pricey ($140) - lives up to its reputation. Black Label Burger also fully deserving of its accolades. If at bar, ask for Cameron - BEST chap ever - TIP!
PaulOctober 22, 2015Yes the black label burger is worth every cent. If you're adventurous ask for cheese on this monster. Bartenders know their cocktails so always a plus to sit by the bar. Book ahead as it's pretty busy
Michael AnthonyJanuary 9, 2023Black label burger and the French onion soup are the way to go. Incredible cut of beef that almost makes the $38 price tag worth it.
Khaled AOctober 24, 2018The black label burger is an absolute delight. Simple but very powerful. No cheese, no sauces, and no distractions. Just a bun and a great thick beef patty in between.
Time Out New YorkAugust 7, 2013Paying $26 for a burger is easy to scoff at, unless it’s the legendary Black Label Burger at this restored Village relic which once served luminaries like Hemingway and Cummings. (RC & CP) Read more
The secret is sit at the bar: watch the awesome bar tenders at work, feel the vibe of the New York crowd behind you while you make friends with the person next to you. Oh and the food is pretty amaze!
SolDecember 31, 2018Burger is a must; add the bone marrow and a martini to complete a meat eaters delight. Great atmosphere, but not Michelin worthy.
Justin OrdovezaSeptember 19, 2014A nice decorated atmosphere. The black label burger lives up to the hype a very unctuous meaty burger. The bone marrow is a great start and don't forget to leave room for dessert.
Black Label Burger. Done. Côte de Boeuf main course if you're strong enough. PS, if you want their decadent souffle, you best put the order in at the start of your dine!
SPINJuly 22, 2011Cults love to come here for an upscale meal. They have a reputation for retro cocktails and $26 Black Label burger. Madeline says it's “the best hamburger I’ve had in my life.”
PouyaOctober 3, 2023The dry aged Black Label Burger is relatively expensive but definitely top 3 burger of New York if not the best!
The Corcoran GroupAugust 2, 2011Make reservations or grab a seat at the bar and dine on The Black Label Burger, made with a selection of prime dry-aged beef cuts with caramelized onions. It’s totally worth it.
Village VoiceApril 9, 2015The Black Label Burger with dry-aged beef and a pillowy bun smothered with caramelized onions & tangy cheddar cheese? Or the easygoing classic? Either way, both burger here are off the charts.
Claire J SongMarch 25, 2015the luxurious dry aged burger lives up to the hype, it's the tavern's marrow bone-crowned côte du boeuf for two. excellent lamb saddle, as well as New York strip and Roquefort-smothered filets.
Mike FriedlichMay 30, 2016The Black Label Burger was the best burger I have ever had. The aligot, which I never had was outstanding. Also, the people I was with said the roasted beets and asparagus vinaigrette were amazing.
MarcMarch 5, 2014Tasting Table Top10 Steak Frites: "Tavern Steak with pomme frites" With good char, a nice pat of herb butter and classic McNally style crack-fries, this is one of the most New York rooms in town.
Khalid NisarJanuary 5, 2017Go with a friend and split a black label burger as an appetizer and a bone-in strip for the main course. Finish it all off with a chocolate soufflé with vanilla ice cream.
Derrick ChenApril 17, 2014Black Label Burger was amazing. Despite being a "burger," it had the taste of great steak. Côte de boeuf was great too. Don't forget to ask for toast and the onion jam for the accompanying marrow.
Tony XerriApril 12, 2014This place ruined steaks for me in the best of ways. Now when I go to any steakhouse I'm demanding marrow bones to accompany it. Don't forget the pork sausage balls and the giant chocolate souffle!
Giulia PratiFebruary 25, 2016The black label burger is totally unique, with a strong meaty flavor. (Read up on it before you go!) Understated from the outside, you'll find an alluring old-time feel inside.
- Burgerspotting .seNovember 11, 2014The legendary restaurant "Minetta Burger" is stunning, with juicy meat, good bread and very good cheese. The caramelized onions are not my favorite, but overall its a great burger. Rating 8 out of 10.
MichelleDecember 18, 2012Delicious Black Label Burger with a THICK prime dry-aged beef cut topped with caramelized onions. Even the thin, crispy, heaping mound of french fries on the side will make you say, "Whoa..."
Trae FApril 22, 2017One of my favorite dining experiences in the city. Great service and the Black Label burger is worth every penny. These guys know how to run a restaurant!
Daniel BarnettDecember 8, 2014Very good. Not sure I believe in the Black Label burger as a pricetag or as a concept, but still a great place. If you're looking for a great burger, you find one easily for a lot less than $26.
Joyful BellyAugust 8, 2014I would say that Minetta has the best burger in New York, but that's sort of like saying that the space shuttle is the best car. The Black label burger is competing on a different level.
Andrew HogueApril 14, 2014If it's your first time, you pretty much have to get one of the burgers, full stop. If you've had the burger before, be sure to listen to the specials for the day, they're hard to beat.
Kelly AJanuary 26, 2017Omg! Just stopped in for a quick cocktail, but I will def be back to eat. Employees are so welcoming and friendly and the menu looked amazing! Will be back.
HectorNovember 6, 2016Grab a seat at the bar, get the Black Label Burger. Great decor and ambiance makes this a good date spot.
Edward UOctober 26, 2013If you're eating by yourself let them know. Bartender quickly finds you a spot at the bar and saves it for you. Very friendly staff. The Black Label Burger is a MUST have. Make reservation if possible
Get a side of Dijon and mayo to dip the massive serving of crispy fries that come without your burger. If you didn't order the burger, get a side of the fries.
refinery29August 3, 2014The crowd at this Keith McNally might be slightly annoying ("Tod, you just got a fingerprint on my silver tie-clip!"), but the exquisitely-beefy Black Label burger is worth it. Read more
Chefs FeedOctober 2, 2015"Of all the burgers I've eaten, this one, made with different cuts of prime dry-aged beef and caramelized onions (and no cheese), is tops and worth the expense." Chef Scott Conant Read more
- Black label burger, oysters, escargot, the works!! Always delivers!
Paula ZiegertNovember 10, 2016Best burger you'll ever eat in your life : Black Label - but do yourself a favor and get roasted sweet potatoes on the side instead of fries , they are AMAZING!
Olof CarlsonAugust 15, 2014The Black Label burger is more of a meat experience than a regular burger. The onion and the sweet bread compliments it perfectly. Great interior and location as well.
Varun ShettyApril 15, 2014Wait approx one month for a dinner reservation OR slide in with no problem for brunch, order the black label burger, and enjoy an old school New York gem.
Christopher JaynesDecember 27, 2014Don't split the burger. Don't listen to any of the reviews. This burger is so good you will regret sharing half. If anything split the fries and enjoy a whole mouth watering burger to yourself.
Halstead PropertyOctober 7, 2013Don’t miss out on the Black Label Burger, named one of the best in America! Order it on the rawer side so you can appreciate that savory ground beef flavor topped with the sweet caramelized onions.
Camilo AngelAugust 4, 2021Tuna crudo, mulles are the best ever, the risotto is not the best, although looks good. House wines are great.
Fati HussainJune 29, 2015If you can get a table here make sure to get the dry aged côte de boeuf, it comes with roasted bone marrow and is wonderful!
Murillo HortaOctober 29, 2017First, have the Paper Plane drink, classic drink and a must have. Ask for the burrata as hours d’oeuvres. Next the Mesclun Salad or the Burger. Amazing
BethanyMarch 25, 2016Get the bone marrow appetizer, special burger, cocktails and you're good to go. Oh BTW, better make a reservation or else you're not getting a table.
DensSeptember 8, 2011I came with four friends and the waitress said it best: "Get 2 burgers and get them split so you can each have half. Order the steak & we'll slice it and then pick something else to share." Bestest.
