Nicholas DiazJanuary 16, 2014I have no idea why so many spoiled foodies dislike this spot? Great staff, atmosphere and good food! Plus the charitable bonus helps. I like the Mac daddy and the handmade sodas.
StefanoBlack▒October 25, 2011One of the build-your-own burger joints that have been popping up for years. In this case, you get a burger with a hole in it - then you fill the hole with stuff. Very sexual. Try the fancy drinks.
Amanda Hewawitharana-RiveraSeptember 22, 2010I got the slider meal yesterday with a lamb burger, brussel sprout and square roots + peach ice tea(the best)! it's a good healthy portion and that's for only $5 and 610 calories. you can order online
amNewYorkOctober 4, 20114food is revamping the notion of fast food: burger patties don’t have to taste like cardboard, and sides can be flavorful and healthy. If you’re a first-timer, start with the signature (W)holeburger.
Holly PulseOctober 2, 2013Just made the "Holy Moly" build-a-burger! Awesome! I am gluten intolerant... thank you for satisfying my craving with the pressed rice bun!
The Corcoran GroupOctober 29, 2010A donut shaped pork hamburger? With pickled peppers, shitake mushroom and sweet chili? Delicious! Create your own mouthwatering combo.
- Asha GrantOctober 17, 2013Come here after 5pm during the week & the burgers that are usually 7-8 bucks are $5!!
Rachel GruberJune 9, 2011Get the garden burger with the sauteed mushroom and onion scoop! -- Food Networking was filming when I was there so you know it's good
Jojo WhiteJuly 23, 2010I did the programming of the Color Kinetics lights in 4 Food. Great food, good location. Wall Street Journal is correct as well with making their own burgers.
Diego F. ArpónFebruary 3, 2012I came here for the WiFi. There are a couple of power outlets on the first floor also. The only downside is the music, too loud.
The Wall Street JournalJune 15, 2010Opening its first store here on July 6, 2010, this chain will let customers brand their own burger creations and pocket 25 cents every time someone buys one of their concoctions. Read more
onur kutlubayMarch 30, 2012Tasty and healty food. A bit slow though, may be problem when crowded. Try cali4nication burger.
When @ 4food, try the Wolverine Burger. It is absolutely incredible. The picture is cool as well.
Re: lamb skewer with coconut rice and cole slaw. Great idea and quite delicious but just not enough food. Burgers with buns hit the spot just right however.
Sid VarmaDecember 15, 2010I got a burger with eggplant parm. It worked! The receipt tells you how many calories you're consuming. That's killer. Come for the food, stay for the iPads.
ansje millerAugust 28, 2012Order on-line and it's ready for you when you get there. Bonus: you can see the nutritional information BEFORE you order.
The Spark GroupFebruary 7, 2011Can you say "HELLO FUTURE"? 4food features a monitor that streams Foursquare check-ins, Tweets, and restaurant info. And orders? Yah, they're taken on iPads.
Get a free Powerball ticket with the purchase of a Wholeburger meal today only. Do it :-)!
Victoria WongMay 31, 2011Wholesome food, free wifi, friendly staff and the owner was so nice. Def recommend
Kirk McMurrayFebruary 17, 2012Try the Red Sangria & Strawberry Daquiri - Do you see anyone from @Foodspotting in the background?
Tiffany SAugust 20, 2010eat your burger (i like the wild salmon) on the steps in front of the giant media screen and watch your tweets scroll by.- Make sure your condiment is in the to go bag. They left out my condiment two days in a row and I didn't find out until I was in the office and it was too late. Food is good and satisfying though.
Lizz SpanoFebruary 11, 2011Awesome food. Healthy, fast and delicious. Get the veggie burger and the hominy!
AfoteyOctober 14, 2010The Lamb Burger I made was absolutely phenomenal! Great atmosphere, friendly people, pretty servers...LOL
The pressed rice "bun" is perfect on a burger, you must try it, you'll never go back to bread! :-D
If you are ever unsure let them make a recommendation- you won't be sorry!
Tyriek is the man! Great job with my order. VERY #likeable guy and restaurant.
Heidi VanderleeNovember 11, 2011There are like 5 customers here and I've been waiting 15 minutes for one sandwich. Fast, my ass.
Joe MulliganAugust 24, 2010get the Obliterati, punk. even better if it's after the party and you're all Obliteratiated.
Double check your take out before leaving...all too often something you ordered will be missing...
Chase MazzarielloOctober 28, 2010Burgers have a hole in the middle for vegetable scoops, but are a little small.
