    IMHO the Minetta burger is better than the black iron, but you can't go wrong with either. :)

    Really glad I finally made it to try the legendary Black Label Burger. Also super impressed by the cocktail with pistachio syrup.

    We resisted the hype, scoffed at the wait, and fell promptly in love w/ the Black Label, and the marrow dish. Oh, to be a carnivore...

    Sit in a booth in the back, order a glass of wine and some roast beets, and imagine convening with the heads of the other families.

    Everything you’ve heard is true. Tough to grab a table but you can get lucky walking in after 9 PM on a weeknight.

    The black label burger is great, and I love the thick-cut bacon on the side

    If you manage to get a seat, don't miss the $26 Black LabelBurger (and equally loved bone marrow appetizer). And be sure to say hi to Madonna or Gwyneth for us—they could be at the table next to you.

    For $26, their signature Black Label Burger better be amazing…and it is. Topped with caramelized onions, it tastes as amazing as it looks. Get it and your stomach will never be happier.

    Try the Pistachio De La Rosa - Stembra Azul Reposado, Grand Marnier, Pistachio Syrup and Fresh Lime juice. Simply perfection

    Beside the obvious meaty delights, get a whiskey and the mushroom side. Great compliments to the smokey meats!

    Everything here seems to be great from the service to the food. Just beware- when it’s crowded (like Friday night) it can be extremely loud.

    The beef patty on the Black Label burger is the real star here with simple flavors that are perfectly cooked to be medium rare. (preferably)

    The strip steak is often overlooked in favor of the black label burger or cote de boeuf but it's phenomenal! Follow up with one of the delightful souffles

    Black label burger. Don’t read anything else on the menu. Their mezcal cocktails are pretty solid as well.

    Keith McNally’s hotspot is famous for its Black Label burger but go against the fad and try the Bone Marrow, scary name but the caramelized shallots/crostini accompaniments make this dish perfect

    The Black Label burger was amazing. A tad on the salty side, but the cooked onions helped balance that out.

    Obviously the burger. The marrow is a pretty solid start too if you want to go full carnivore.

    Came for drinks, must return for dinner. This authentic New York saloon is Old School in a good way. They don't make 'em like this anymore.

    Bone Marrow was incredible - the steak for two is one of the best steaks I've ever had!

    Grilled meats are always high quality, like the excellent bone-in New York strip steak. Order a side of pommes Anna. – Green Guide Editor

    Quite possibly the best meat in the city, from their Burger to their Bone-in Strip. Pricey, but worth it!

    Go when seating opens at 5:30 p.m., you have a good chance of getting a table even without a reservation. The Black Label burger is good but not worth $25 or better than Shake Shack.

    Minetta Tavern is a classic and the Black Label Burger is one of the best burgers in New York.

    I personally think the black label burger is only ok. The beef patty was succulent and well-cooked but lacked flavor apart from the caramelized onion which was too sweet. The brioche buns were average

    The burger is really something to prize. But there is so much more here to enjoy, dreamy pastas should be on your radar too

    Black label burger was absolutely amazing BUT the tables layout is horrible. Too close to my neighbors and its like I'm part of their conversations. Go with a group of 4 and get your own table.

    Pretty sure this is the best burger in town. Skip the sides and starters and get yourself a black label burger.

    This place, which has operated since 1936 and looks like it, is the best in the city for a hamburger (sandwich).

    Can't get in for dinner? Make a reservation for brunch instead, where you can have poached eggs and salmon over latkes, shirred eggs with truffle shavings, crispy thick-cut bacon, and a Bloody Mary.

    The "doneness" scale at Minetta: Medium is medium rare and rare is, well, just really rare.

    Black Label is packed with flavor.. ain't a burger you breathe in or you'll miss all the flavor. Savor it slowly. Too price-y though at $26.Cote de Beouff IMHO best flavor from a steak in NY.

    The burger is to die for. And the fries complement it. The lemonade is one of the best I have had.

    Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, Eugene O'Neill, E. E. Cummings, Dylan Thomas, and Joe Gould put in time at this 1937 bar notable for its murals of Village sights and scenes covering the inside walls.

    Had both the Minetta and the Black Label burgers. Save yourself some money and get the cheaper one; I thought it was just as good.
