Daeic ChangJanuary 18, 2015Every long queue has a stunning taste! It's truth for Burger joint. Additionally, be check finely granulated vanilla seeds in your shake
Georgios GatosApril 18, 2017Busy place but worthy of the wait! Burger was awesome. The whole experience is something that you wish to offer to yourself
Karin ChiuFebruary 21, 2013Delicious burgers in a hidden dive bar setting, and the small menu (cheeseburger or hamburger?) streamlines the decision making process for the indecisive. This place trumps Shake Shack.
Ruben Garcia MohedanoSeptember 9, 2015One of the best burgers I had in NYC, if not the best. The place is equally retro awesomeness
Andres ElizondoMarch 19, 2019Excellent “hidden” joint for a great burger. Really feels like it was transplanted directly from Austin to NYC
Daniel SanzSeptember 30, 2015Now, it's a little bit worse than 2 years ago, but still one of the best burgers in NYC. You have to go and try cheeseburger. It's great!!
Princess Abigail BacaniJanuary 23, 2013Tucked behind floor-to-ceiling drapes in the ritzy lobby of Le Parker Meridien Hotel, is the a dirty little secret: a hole in a wall offering anyone who can find it $7 burgers that are to die for!
Jose Salas RushfordDecember 30, 2012I can't get enough of this place. Just fantastic. Fries are really good. But one order is good for 2 people. And if your hungry get 2 burgers. One is never enough. :-)
Miguel Roberto MangligotMay 28, 2017Hidden burger restaurant. One of my favourite places to eat at with friends. But beware the line especially if you go late at night- Gluttony NYCFebruary 26, 2017With burgers this size, you'd think this hidden joint would be a lot easier to spot!
Stribling & AssociatesMay 11, 2012Marked only by a neon sign, this spot at the swanky Le Parker Meridien Hotel is said to have the best burger in the city. Call ahead to avoid the crazy lines & leave your cards at home - cash only.
AmateurConciergeNovember 24, 2019Classic faux hole in the wall at the Parker Meridien. The burger scene has evolved since it’s heyday, but still pretty solid offering
Petra LynchJanuary 18, 2016Burgers were great. The place was crowded and no space to sit with kids. Kid friendly? Absolutely not. Burgers delicious...if you stay at the parker suggest ordering to your room....
Maritza SpitlerJuly 6, 2019Takes you out of midtown instantly! Yum wine, burger, fries and cool staff! Don’t sweat the tables, it moves fast
Laysa DurskiSeptember 7, 2015Awesome burger, but the bread could be thicker to support the weight of the burger! Service really good too!
Harumi UAugust 17, 2014This place really brings the word "institution" to my mind. They have burgers and fries and you will not find the place unless you know it's there. Nevertheless there is always a long line.
Erik CintronAugust 9, 2013The allure of this place is more interesting than the food. Strictly for tourist. If u think its the best burger then you don't eat burgers. I get the juxtaposition. The coolest part was finding it.
Alexandre MunhozJuly 21, 2018It’s a great burger but what it counts is the whole experience of going behind the curtains of a hotel.. fun!- Loris UzanApril 14, 2015Amazing burgers not too heavy not too light and the fries are just the best side in this crazy place inside a luxury hotel !
LloydMay 11, 2013Forget about Shake Shack! This joint is serving some juicy & tasting burgers! Tucked in a corner at Le Parker Meridien. Be prepared to fall in line as this place gets real busy from 11am-11pm.
Gail GSeptember 26, 2011When I found this place I cracked up. It was a pleasant surprise and I would love to bring a friend to this hidden treasure next time. The food is yummy but kinda pricey considering the divey feel
Rodrigo CarelliJanuary 15, 2017It's like a "door for another world". Inside the fancy Meridien, you'll find a rustic rock'n'roll style burger place. Fantastic!
Roger RJune 10, 2016Very good...But. This is a classic greasy burger fresh high quality ingredients, but it's not worth the 45 min line you have to be on, or fighting for a table...if this place has a short line go.
JuApril 4, 2016Great sandwich! Great place! Not that great staff... 😒 must learn how to deal with first time visitors.
Hakan ElmasSeptember 11, 2014Those guys are fun, quick, and they know how to treat your appetite. It's the best hamburger ever. Finish the fries first before they get cold!
TeddyMarch 25, 2017The burgers are really tasty but the spot is hard to find. It's rather well hidden behind a curtain in the lobby of the Parker Meriden.
Bruce HaydonNovember 8, 2017A mirage in downtown Manhattan - great burgers and sides at :rest of America" prices. Often a line, so pick off hours to visit.
Nuno PereiraFebruary 10, 2018Amazing burger! Not too much space but worth the environment, good for quick and go
Oscar Parada, Jr.September 12, 2011A GREAT hole in the wall (you'll need to look hard) for some great burger & fries! A bit $$$ (hey, it's NYC) but it's well worth it. The place is very small so be alert when people leave their tables.
VivNovember 17, 2013Overpriced, but v good burger. Get the medium rare cheeseburger with the works, vanilla shake, and fries - $19.75 at the time of writing (!!). Efficient operation but v tiny kitchen - expect to wait.
Sandro MorandinJune 25, 2015Amazing burger! You can choose whatever you want, make your own and personal burger! And the team is really nice!
cj fitzgeraldMarch 20, 2018Burger joint hidden behind a red velvet curtain in the Le Parker Meridien. In case you aren't full enough from brunch at Norma's.
Minnie KimAugust 1, 2014For those who just love a good old classic burger. Simple, well-cooked & delicious!!!!
Lina BirkMay 16, 2016The price goes up every year. First time I went it was 5$ for a hamburger fries and milkshake now it's 17$ for a burger and milkshake. I love this place but with this price it's not worth it- A massive queue which dissipates fast. Stick it out, it's totally worth it. The downside was was that I didn't order two burgers. Delectable.
Pepe LechugaNovember 4, 2013These burgers are great. Regardless of the waiting time. I have one after #nycmarathon and it was worth every mile.
Xanic DunningApril 13, 2012You would not expect this place to be inside Le Parker Meridien. Awesome burgers. Try sharing a table with someone because the place is packed. You better know what you want to eat before you order!
Noha ANovember 26, 2017Fries are good. The burgers are ok you can get a similar burger in shake shack. I do not understand the hype 🤔
Alex HymanJuly 30, 2013A little pricey for the size burger you get, but no denying how tasty it is. Plus, who can deny the fun of walking past a curtain and following an unmarked neon burger sign to find this hidden spot.
PhabolousDecember 26, 2013I found this place on 4sq. Quite difficult to find but easier than u think. Burgers are ok but not amazing and very small. The place is great. The magic is that it's inside an elegant hotel!
Jessica StarkSeptember 25, 2012Everyone loves a "secret"...well, the secret's out: these burgers are A-mazing. Good late-night spot if you happen to be out and about or are staying near Columbus Circle. Fries are just okay.
Nicole ReganApril 19, 2016Some of the most delicious burgers I've ever had. Fun location, but limited seating. Never crowded on a Sunday night though.
Maria PaparouniSeptember 24, 2022Cheese with bacon! Incredible fries! Great staff!!!! Don’t miss the best burger ever had in NY!
Russell HirschornDecember 30, 2014The single is big and delish. The double is double in size, but not as good as delish.
Hind RMay 25, 2017Burger is so good, not a lot of sitting area so plan for that while getting orders in
