Burgers

Thrillist: The glorious patty is wrapped not in a bun but "a fine bread made according to an old Slovak family recipe", and then effing deep fried. It's also got applewood-smoked bacon, and Emmental cheese. Read more.

Time Out New York: Tangy Roquefort cheese highlights the mineral richness of the Pat LaFrieda mix (brisket, short rib, sirloin and chuck) in the hulking, char-grilled half-pounder. (Critics' Pick) Read more.

Dustin Lee: Come for the old time vibes, but don't expect much from your bistro burger and fries. Great prices on everything though.

Patrick W: order the bacon Royale and exerience one of te best burgers in the city

Dens: I 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.

Theresa Geiger: Breakfast all day burger was awesome but they are sloooow.

Dara Jo: Great cheeseburger and fries - ask for caramelised onions on the burger! And leave some room for the pecan pie as well

Amy Ulm: A faithful recreation of the original. Charbroiled burgers cook to order. One of the best in the city. Ask for the grilled onions.

Dustin Lee: Packed af but worth it for the bomb burgers

Marc: French Onion Soup Burger

Brad Garoon: The Bacon Cheeseburger comes off the griddle quickly, thanks to the thin, diner-style patty, and is topped with a delicious bacon and American cheese combo. Read more.

Claire J Song: Cheeseburger, $16 The slightly sweet, raised-pattern Dutch crunch roll (a Bay Area specialty) makes this a Cali-style burger.

Armani Clare: The burger was good. But nothing. Special. The wait time and unorganized lines kind of put a damper on things. The crackerjack ice cream was GREAT though

Trevor Hill: Finally my love for burgers and plantains are united in a single menu item and it did not disappoint! Curry mayo is good too

Nelson Lee: The Don and Dynamite Mac are must haves!

Moona A: The best lamb burger and truffle fries 🙌🏻

Mike Chau: The burger is off-menu, only served at the bar, and they only serve 12 a night. By the time I got there 10 minutes before opening time, every seat at the bar was taken. But it's worth it.

Rachel W.: A NYC Landmark (literally), The Ear Inn is the oldest bar in NYC. Inviting, cozy vibe. Drinks are cheap, burger is solid - what's not to like?

Nicole Formica: Burgers are great, especially with a side of Mac and cheese (with bacon, duh) and obviously a boozy milkshake!

Morgan Polotan: Burgers are good, cheesy bread is better. Get the tortas from El Grill instead.

Ashley Cole: This was the best burger I’ve had in a long time. Got a simple cheeseburger and was blown away by the fresh and savoriness of it all 10/10
