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.
Julie SosciaJanuary 29, 2019A very speakeasy burger spot located behind a curtain inside Parker New York. Go early to avoid lines and don't forget to order the fries too!
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.
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
SparkieNovember 6, 2014Concealed behind curtains in the lobby of the bougie Le Parker Meridien Hotel, this gem serves some of the best burgers in the city, which may explain the frequently-long lines.
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!!
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.
AdriàJuly 11, 2015One of the best burguers I've eaten in a magic place hidden inside a hotel. Entering the lobby, to the left, follow the little hamburguer sign.
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!
Onur AvcıNovember 25, 2014The best Burger you can eat in NYC in this old school burger shack hidden in the lobby of the Parker Meridien. The Entrance is almost secret :)
JuApril 4, 2016Great sandwich! Great place! Not that great staff... 😒 must learn how to deal with first time visitors.
Ruben Garcia MohedanoSeptember 9, 2015One of the best burgers I had in NYC, if not the best. The place is equally retro awesomeness
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. :-)
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!
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.
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....
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
Andres ElizondoMarch 19, 2019Excellent “hidden” joint for a great burger. Really feels like it was transplanted directly from Austin to NYC
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.
Hind RMay 25, 2017Burger is so good, not a lot of sitting area so plan for that while getting orders in
Van AndradeMay 2, 2015Best burger of my life. Perfect. This place makes a simple and perfect burger. You won't find a taste like these.
Sylvain LienneMarch 14, 2015The burgers are good but you have to wait :p Not sure to always find a place to stay but most of the time you will find it if you wait
Russell HirschornDecember 30, 2014The single is big and delish. The double is double in size, but not as good as delish.
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!
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!
albaJanuary 21, 2017Burgers. Through lobby, walk on the right side of the hotel front desk, into a dark hall, look for neon burger, go through curtain.- Gluttony NYCFebruary 26, 2017With burgers this size, you'd think this hidden joint would be a lot easier to spot!
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.- 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 !
Bokyung ParkMarch 22, 2022It’s a kind of hidden place. Behind the curtain on the left side, you’ll see the burger sign.I enjoyed their sweet potato fries.
Edlin ChoiJanuary 16, 2012Love this place. Time it right to get a seat and enjoy a burger (or two) with the works. Not too long a line on off-meal hours. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Minnie KimAugust 1, 2014For those who just love a good old classic burger. Simple, well-cooked & delicious!!!!
- 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.
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 🤔
Stephen Neill O'BrienJuly 11, 2016It was good & fun years ago....we'll see in a couple of minutes...I hope I remember how to order..id hate to go to the back of the line....
New York HabitatFebruary 25, 2014If you want a traditional burger with french fries at an affordable price, check out this intimate "hole in the wall" burger joint!
Stamatis DikFebruary 15, 2019Waiting in the line for 30 minutes, and then you have to wait someone to leave to find a table. Food quality was average. But the environment was really nice.
Heather RJune 28, 2013Have someone in your party scout for seats while you order and wait. Nice burger, but not amazing...certainly the appeal of the experience comes from it being hidden away/
GregWasThereOctober 8, 2014Amazing burger ! Do not get scared by the ppl lining up, it goes very fast.
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.
Zoilabella Calo AmiotJanuary 12, 2011do not try to order the milk shake during peaks hours....not gonna happen! the brownies are also amazing!!! I use to have lunch here all the time as my office was right across the street....MISS IT!!!
