Jen StarAugust 16, 2017While many other great burgers have been born in this city (Shake Shack, Burger Joint, etc.), this luxe is the one that best encapsulates the things New York loves—quality, decadence, and money.
New York PostSeptember 1, 2014The four-top, circular red booths in the back room allow those seated there to survey the other tables in the room, the beautiful people at them and the comings and goings to and from the kitchen. Read more
POGEA RACINGMarch 28, 2015The absolute best burger I ate in my life. If you order anything else than the prime burger you must be out of your freaking mind.
Camilo AngelAugust 4, 2021Tuna crudo, mulles are the best ever, the risotto is not the best, although looks good. House wines are great.
Murillo HortaOctober 29, 2017First, have the Paper Plane drink, classic drink and a must have. Ask for the burrata as hours d’oeuvres. Next the Mesclun Salad or the Burger. Amazing
AmateurConciergeNovember 20, 2014Yes it's one of the best burgers in Manhattan, but also one of the best plates of fries. Be warned: their preference is to undercook a bit.
Damian BayonaJune 2, 2015Black label burger is KING. Don't get fancy with it - order it as the house recommends. You won't be disappointed
Olof CarlsonAugust 15, 2014The Black Label burger is more of a meat experience than a regular burger. The onion and the sweet bread compliments it perfectly. Great interior and location as well.
Wejdan ✨December 9, 2016I really don't know how to describe the black label burger. You have to try it yourself to get that wonderful experience. The service is awesome!!
Dunash KamarMay 7, 2015At the end of the day its anothet burger place with fancy prices. When trying their steak it was uneatable, the oxtail foi greue was terrible. If all you want is to have a good burger its a good place
Food & WineMay 17, 2011Minetta Tavern's excellent burgers use a beef blend—dry-aged rib eye, skirt steak, brisket and short rib—from famed purveyor Pat La Frieda, and buns from Balthazar Bakery.
BethanyMarch 25, 2016Get the bone marrow appetizer, special burger, cocktails and you're good to go. Oh BTW, better make a reservation or else you're not getting a table.- Black label burger, oysters, escargot, the works!! Always delivers!
That burger 🍔.... be careful cause medium rare is way more on the rare / raw side, but it is delicious nonetheless.
elizabeth johnsonMarch 9, 2015The smoked pork belly is TO DIE FOR! Service is superb and the atmosphere is lovely for a night out with friends or a romantic, candle lit evening.
suneelJanuary 24, 2015marrow and tavern steak are tops. the regular burger is just as good as the black label burger.
Brad GrahamSeptember 21, 2013“The best, if priciest, burger in NYC is probably the black label burger at the Minetta Tavern. Getting in here, however, can be a challenge. Try early or late.”- Stephanie AlvarezJanuary 17, 2013First time really loved this place. The food , people and ambience very low key and fun. Bone marrow was excellent and the black label burger yummy. Definitely make a reservation.
- Mike SingletonMarch 13, 2014The no-frills black label burger is the best ground meat I've ever had. Split that and a NY strip steak.
ShahApril 19, 2015I mean, wow. The Norwegian salmon, the marrow, the beet salad, the burger; all phenomenal. Plus, beautiful classic atmosphere. Love this place.
Ben RAugust 7, 2014The Black Label Burger may be famous, but the Cote de Boeuf for 2 is the real winner. Or hey, get both.
Kazem EdmondJune 19, 2013The Black Label burger is the greatest burger that I've ever eaten. It's made of prime dry-aged cuts of beef. Even the fries are outstanding. You won't regret it.
Marion PadilhaApril 12, 2015The Black Label Burguer is AWESOME, medium or medium rare. The blonde waitress is not THAT cute and doesn't like to suggest the house's specialties. But... nevermind. Enjoy the place and your burguer!- Erik FahrenkopfSeptember 29, 2015Start with a Manhattan. Then order a nice glass of red with the Black Label Burger. One of the best "high end" burgers I've ever had.
SiovonneAugust 26, 2014You need to try their burger at some point of your life if you're in NYC. The history of this place is astounding, and the old school vibe is still there.- DoubleDeuceApril 4, 2015It can be difficult to walk in and get a seat here so plan ahead. Get the burger like everyone says to do, you'll be pleased (unless you don't eat meat...).
DensSeptember 8, 2011I came with four friends and the waitress said it best: "Get 2 burgers and get them split so you can each have half. Order the steak & we'll slice it and then pick something else to share." Bestest.
Buford BarnesMay 30, 2012Established 1937. Interior is mostly original, but menu has been upscaled by new owners. "Parisian steakhouse meets classic New York City tavern." Once visited by all from Beat Poets to Joe Gould.
Kevin ThompsonJune 19, 2014Probably the best bone marrow I've ever had. Definitely get that and the pork sausage appetizer to start. The black label burger is a no-brainer
New York HabitatOctober 28, 2011For $26, their signature Black Label Burger better be amazing…and it is. Topped with caramelized onions, it tastes as amazing as it looks. Get it and your stomach will never be happier.
Minetta Tavern best Steak in NYC 🍷🍴 Dry Aged Côte de Boeuf😍 with roasted marrow bones and gem lettuce salad
- Aly OradyDecember 28, 2014The Black Label Burger and the bone marrow. I ordered both. Used the bone marrow to top the burger. Mind blown.
just go when it opens, sit at bar. start w the marrow (it's enough for three), then order all the rest of the food they offer.
Michelin Travel & LifestyleDecember 2, 2013Grilled meats are always high quality, like the excellent bone-in New York strip steak. Order a side of pommes Anna. – Green Guide Editor
Travel + LeisureJuly 30, 2012Keith McNally of Balthazar and Pastis fame preserves the memory of the space (a 1930s saloon) while making the food—well-aged steaks and muscular French fare—better than it ever was.
d.RASeptember 12, 2011One of our favorite places for dinner. Get there early and get a seat at the bar if you don't have a reservation. The roasted bone marrow and chocolate soufflé are two of our favorites!
Cole KennedyNovember 13, 2022Everything you’ve heard is true. Tough to grab a table but you can get lucky walking in after 9 PM on a weeknight.
A KMay 3, 2015The odd cocktails. Try the pistachio De La Rosa. A margarita with pistachio syrup. A nice quiet place to have a romantic conversation. Yet crowded.- drew tarvinMay 19, 2015Go when seating opens at 5:30 p.m., you have a good chance of getting a table even without a reservation. The Black Label burger is good but not worth $25 or better than Shake Shack.
Natalie VFebruary 13, 2016IMHO the Minetta burger is better than the black iron, but you can't go wrong with either. :)
Jessica ToliuszisJanuary 26, 2016Go for lunch. Get the strip and remember to get it sliced. Classic New York steak house.
The Black Label Burger is definitely worth it. Yes pricey but great tasting. The ambiance is nice and would be great for a date.
CharlottesDecember 14, 2015What a special space, cozy and intimate while absolutely buzzing. We went with the black label burgers but the marrow looked incredible.
Kev SkinnyAugust 18, 2016Black Label Burger truly is in a class of its own. Damn you Pat La Freida you genius. Normal burgers will no longer cut the mustard.
Natalie PaulMarch 30, 2013Black label burger was absolutely amazing BUT the tables layout is horrible. Too close to my neighbors and its like I'm part of their conversations. Go with a group of 4 and get your own table.
Halstead PropertyOctober 27, 2011Keith McNally’s hotspot is famous for its Black Label burger but go against the fad and try the Bone Marrow, scary name but the caramelized shallots/crostini accompaniments make this dish perfect
Michael ChenApril 11, 2018Sit at the bar, Fab makes the best cocktails. Get a pisco sour and revel in their luxe but relaxed pleasure den.
William NelliganNovember 13, 2015Sit in a booth in the back, order a glass of wine and some roast beets, and imagine convening with the heads of the other families.
