April Bloomfiled and Ken Friedman — the chef and restaurateur behind The Spotted Pig, The Breslin, and The John Dory — recently opened this casual bar & grill in Midtown East's Pod 51 hotel. Read more
The classic burger is an ode to the traditional burger joint while the Salvation burger has a little more culinary flair. Fries are thin and crispy. A nice addition to great NYC burger joints.
The namesake Salvation Burger is a thing of simple brilliance. The ingredients really shine. The fantastically-textured meat and bun hold together until the last bite & the flavors are all wonderful.
I'm becoming an April Bloomfield junkie. Both the salvation and classic burgers are exceptional (I hate American cheese, but her homemade creation was 😋). The coffee/donut shake is also 💯
Great service, good for a group, the cheese flatbread was dope, and the wood roasted oysters totally retained the ocean flavor of the liquor liquid you slurp from Raw oysters
Everything a great burger shld be! Juicy and flavorful. The outside is cute but menu is more limited. I'll def be back for more of this burger. Loved it!!
Loved the Classic Burger and the Ramp Burger. However based on the burgers and experience at the Spotted Pig and Breslin, this spot just seemed really overpriced. Would recommend those spots instead.
Since opening 2 weeks ago, Salvation Burger has received a lot of hype and has delivered with juicy tender goodness. Check out this trending joint before more people start to get the idea. Read more
Spice things up with a salvation burger - perfectly caramelized onions and taleggio - amazing. Was there opening night, so it seems like they're still working some kinks out.
did not take long for this to become a top midtown lunch destination; opt for the namesake Salvation Burger if you're feeling adventurous, but the Classic (pictured) looks to be early crowd pleaser
Do NOT get the classic . 2 very over done quarter pounders with some kind of odd cheesy sauce ( good roll though) for $17. Our waitress suggested this one. Fish burger, nice,crispy , fresh on brioche
The Classic didn't quite live up to the hype for me. Good but can't justify the price. And whoa, that cheese is a salt BOMB. And that's coming from someone who routinely makes it rain Pecorino Romano.
I tried the Salvation burger, the meat was good and well cooked, the cheese and the caramelized onions made it too salty and the bread is too "chewy" it's overall a good burger but not worth 25$
The salvation burger changes. I had one with Bleu Cheese and was a super let down. The classic is good, tastes like In-n-Out but 4x as expensive. The fries are tasty but just consistently over salty
Extremely disappointing. Pictured: the $12 Poutine, which makes it ~$1/fry. Tried the Classic Burger (very meh, nothing special) and the sub-par Fish Sandwich (handful of coleslaw + very fishy smell).
The burger was good....but not great. I have enjoyed better burgers from other places and have paid less. The fries were very good and I am happy I went but I don't think I will go again.
Unfortunately, it's temporarily closed after a fire on May 16 - hence the kraft paper over the windows this week. I'm keeping an eye on their Twitter feed, and looking forward to its reopening.
