JT TeranAugust 6, 2016Home of my favorite burger of New York City, the 5 Napkin Burger. It's a bit greasy, but that's part of why it's fantastic. If you're in the mood for a burger, stop by here.
Simmie 😍March 17, 2016I eat kosher and they completely understood! Personally, I'm a plain person. They understood what I wanted. Amazing taste, great music, relaxing setting, great service!
Simon KratzerDecember 25, 2016Best burger in New York! Go for the Tuna Poke Nachos and the Truffle Burger.
5 Napkin is another favorite NYC chain burger of mine. This location has pretty cool decor and the servers are too friendly & efficient. Stop by the bar to wash down your meal with some proper drinks
- Not even reviewing 5NB's food, always doubtlessly phenomenal. This spot in Hell's Kitchen is great with friendly and cool servers. We always come here for quick late night bites and drinks
Village VoiceFebruary 23, 2011We suggest the 5-Napkin Burger-the taste is great, the quantity abundant, and the onion rings we got on the side instead of fries are some of the best in town-and NYC is an onion-ring-challenged city!
helio salemaDecember 10, 20185 Napkin Burger is massive and the Bacon and Cheddar is pretty solid. The meat is juicy and well seasoned and the bread is tough enough so you can eat your burger with your hands.
Melissa HelalMay 15, 2013First timers must try the 5 Napkin Burger, it lives up to all the hype. Warning - it's huge. So if you're not in the mood for a food coma, you can ask them to make it with an 8oz patty instead of 10.
Francisco OsorioDecember 18, 2014Aside from the fact that the burgers are excellent: the sides are awesome. Onion rings are great and Mac&Cheese is just incredible.
Amy FindleyMarch 29, 2015Best hamburger hands down that I have EVER eaten. Got the original medium. Fries were good as well. 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. Service wasn't the best, but who cares.....I went for the burgers.
Karman DheelApril 3, 2018Try the avocado burger. Fries are extra $ but worth ordering. It’s a big portion and can be easily shared. The mint Lemonade is delightful if your looking for something sweet.
MeltemJanuary 2, 2015you have to try this hamburger! highly recommended. the burgers are delicious and the service is fast. you have to wait for the table and it deserves this!
One of my top burger spots in the city; they always satisfy. Wait staff is attentive despite being busy, and that they feature Maker's Mark is like the icing on my cake.
Song ZhengSeptember 9, 2013For the best bang for your buck, get Saratoga. $6.50 for 7% beer gets you alcohol for less than $1 per percentage. Better deal than any other beer on the menu.
New York HabitatNovember 15, 2011Better make it 7 or 8 napkins here, one of the better burgers in the city. We recommend the bacon cheddar burger or the original with aioli suace and gruyere with a side of their crispy onion rings.
Charles FerranApril 25, 2017Delicious THICK burgers, not afraid to leave them pink in the middle of you ask. Roasted brusselsprouts were amazing! Prices were very reasonable
karen bonna rainertJuly 27, 2011I eat red meat, but when I come here I always get the veggie burger because it's so good. Filled with real veggies and grains. Get the special sauce on the side though. They put heeps of it on the bun
Scott KleinbergJune 11, 2017The salads are not to be missed. You can get them topped with a beef burger or turkey burger, or play it safe and go with grilled chicken.
NorahJanuary 16, 2016Real good burgers .. I had the avocado ranch and loved it .. Very good service too!
Sean MolinDecember 26, 2014I actually expected the namesake burger to be bigger and messier, but it is big and messy. Very tasty, and the fried prosciutto pickles are AWESOME.
Tyler MurphyMay 7, 2015The Original Burger with sweet potato fries is a filling and satisfying meal. Start with the guacamole if you're feeling extra hungry!
LecoJanuary 6, 2019The alcoholic milkshakes are great to go with your choice of burger. Cookies’n’Cream + Amarula and Vanilla + rum are just awsome- Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014The kobe beef foot-long hot dog is the real star of the show, moist and salty and festooned with so many ingredients you lose track around "jalapenos."

John HattonMarch 20, 2022I had the 5 Napkin Burger and Onion Rings. The food was delicious and the service was great! Highly recommend checking them out!
Joel CummingJanuary 6, 2018Based on tips, I ordered the veggie burger. First time I ever ordered a veggie burger at a restaurant. It was outstanding, would get it again the next time I’m back.
Catherine Fortin-DubeMarch 19, 2015We had the avocado/cucumber rolls, the veggie burger and the kale salad and everything was good.
SO WONDERFUL! I always bring my family and friends here when they come to visit. Tuscan fries, onion rings, burger salads, and my spin on the "original" - sub a turkey burger, no onion, multigrain rol
I never get tired of this place.I bring all my guests here. Bacon-Cheddar burguer is my favourite. And also the music is great. Best burguer place in NYC.
Rewan PartiJanuary 29, 2015They have a great veggie burger, make sure to add Rosemary aioli to it! The sweet potato fries are crisp and tasty!
LucienJanuary 6, 2013An awesome burger. Will have to try the lamb burger next time. Just don't ask for the lemonade with no ice. Since it's fresh squeezed they'll put it in a smaller glass rather than the tall one. Boo..
James SpellAugust 12, 2012Great burgers, best milkshakes, outstanding service....you can't go wrong with this place! I highly recommend this place. I am definitely coming back!
Riqui LawrenceJuly 2, 2019Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great burgers and chicken and waffles. Refreshing blueberry and mint lemonade.
Paulette OsborneJuly 22, 2016they have a wonderful happy hour at the Broadway and 84th St. location. $5 cosmos and wine, $4 beers. $2 sliders and 50 cent wings.
The Corcoran GroupAugust 5, 2010Definitely get the Original 5 Napkin Burger. Make sure you ask for EXTRA napkins if you’re wearing anything nice. Also try the Steak Frites and The 5N Kobe Beef Foot Long Dog! This place is ALWAYS
Justin OrdovezaJanuary 29, 2017The milkshakes here are excellent, especially the adult milkshakes, booze milkshakes.
Robert RoweApril 22, 2012Try the Egg Bendict Sliders - …amazing Egg Benedict Sliders! Perfectly poached Egg on 2oz. Beef Slider w/ cheddar on english muffin & topped off with béarnaise sauce!- Damon SununtnasukApril 21, 2017Believe it or not, the salad was amazing. Get the tuna as your protein option.
Jon FlaxmanDecember 6, 2013Wow - awesome! The original and the Kofta burgers have to be tasted to be believed. Great place to go after your show.
Tiffany LangstonFebruary 20, 2015Burgers are enormous and have a price to match. Split one with a friend and get an appetizer. It will be plenty of food
Akis TsolisDecember 25, 2019Care is the new value for the restaurants and in our case nobody cared. Food was ok. Being there and wanted to come back since we liked it.We used the opentable app for better results but ...
- The Corcoran GroupFebruary 11, 2011We’ve talked about the steak and burgers, but they also have a GREAT Brunch. You must try the Buttermilk French Toast of the Eggs Benedict Sliders.
Don't waste your time for crap like sushi, get yourself a lamb burger... Of course make it medium rare and add some extra jalapeno and 5Napkins will deliver you the best result.
Norman EllisNovember 5, 2014The Ahi Tuna burger is a tasty choice. You can swap out the fries for another side like Mac and Cheese or a side salad at no extra charge.
Diego RomeroOctober 18, 2014Not enough time to take the pic. Top 3 in NY for sure. Order the Classic or the Lamb. Don't forget your cheddar tots!!
Salim IbrahimAugust 16, 2016Meat was good. Salad was good. But the fries was flooded with oil and barely were able to find any edible fries!. The salad came with some kind of hair or fiber(see next to fries).
One of the few restaurants in HK open late. Yummy burgers and great drink selection surprisingly.
Bill HNovember 1, 20235 Napkin burger is amazing: 10 ounces, Gruyère, confit onions, thyme aioli. Get it medium rare with bacon. Yummy!
Humberto MartinezApril 18, 2011One of the best burgers I have ever had. And I'm from Texas. As much as I've heard great things about a lot of their items, get their original burger. You won't be disappointed.
