Key lime pie 10/10 Bacon Cheese Burger: 8.7/10 Pickles: not enough

So good. Lauded for a reason. Ofc get a burger, but try the chili too. We like to get a cup to start and share before our burgers come. Their cottage fries are out of this world. Also, as a pickle lover, I appreciate they put plenty of slices so that every bite is a pickle bite.

Went for dinner on a Tuesday evening around 8pm, was a 45 min 1 hour wait for the queue. Queuing system was a bit chaotic. Ordered a cheeseburger and bacon burger for two people. The atmosphere of the restaurant is small and comfy, full of nostalgia and little memoranda. The food is average for my taste, the beef in the burger was slightly under seasoned and I did not feel that the burgers were particularly special compared to the other places that I’ve tried in New York. Chips need to be ordered separately from the burgers and cost around $7 not worth the price, small portions and were soggy in my opinion. Seems that people come to this place for nostalgia of old school diner vibes. Is it worth the queue? For me, probably no.

Finally had an opportunity to stop by for one of their delicious burgers. They do not disappoint! Simple. Expertly prepared. Great char from the grill. It was everything that I wanted in a great burger.

Probably the most authentic NYC burger you're going to find. The place is small but comfy and cozy. You'll be served some very generous sizes and the prices match the quality. Will be back!
