Do not go here without trying the fried pickles! Mac and cheese is great also. Try the modelo especial with lime and tabasco.

Best burger in ny but skip the fries. And fried pickles are more like fritters.

The burger is insanely good. Get the fried pickles if you have somebody to share them with - otherwise it's way too much.

Portions are a little small but juicy burger. Service at bar is less than desired.

Try the cucumber Collins, it's the best! A nice refreshing drink to remind me of warmer months to come!

Great atmosphere but in order to pay with a CC you have to put a minimum charge of $20 which is really annoying

The deep fried pickles were ok. Burger was quite tasty. The jalepeña infused vodka and cherries drink was awesome. Highly recommended if you can stand the hot.

Great burger, but avoid the fried pickles. Yeah, they're what everyone orders, but they're soggy rather than crisp. Read more
