Heba AbdellaDecember 11, 2014Had the egg sandwich. They have organic eggs and coffee which is great; sandwiches taste good and are just the right size for breakfast. They're served on a toasted Portuguese muffin.
Tom 😎 CraginJune 10, 2017Had the best sausage, egg, cheese, jalapeno & avocado on a lightly toasted roll. The owner, Amina, was one of the nicest people I've met. Very hospitable, friendly & generous. I'll be back for lunch!
I love this spot for burgers, but one of favorite items on the menu is the Avocado BLT. Easily top 3 sandwiches in city.
ObedDecember 27, 2014Egg sandwiches (before 11am) are delicious and filling; lots of egg in one sandwich. Also the carrot cake is great, with walnuts, carrot slivers, and it's not too sweet.
Marc SchneebergerSeptember 24, 2017Great burguer, if they cook it really medium rare. Its a jewel in FiDi!!!! I would go for the kobe although the sirloin beef is similar in quality!!!
Jonathan BrandonNovember 10, 2015Had the 1/2 lb Kobe burger and a salad. The burger was great however I could not tell the difference in taste from the less expensive sirloin burger. Staff is friendly... Lots of fries... Be hungry
Steve MillerJanuary 5, 2018Best fries ever!!! Seriously. Don’t miss the organic breakfast sandwich and awesome coffee. I hate giving away this secret but you owe it to yourself to check it out.
Abigail StaplesJuly 23, 2014Amazing burgers and really delicious breakfast sandwiches. Everything is organic and fresh. Tastes like "real" food!
Village VoiceSeptember 12, 2013The quarter-pound sirloin burger is a must try with sautéed onions and all of the fixings!
Jason CarrollOctober 10, 2013Burgers are great (fresh, made to order), fries are great, they have beer & wine. If you eat in, you WILL smell like burgers when you leave. (Small place.)
Stefano L.May 19, 2012This is one of the best burger in Manhattan, both Sirloin and Kobe beef. And the fries are a must. Worth the wait.
Roger SchonfeldDecember 23, 2015Great fast personally prepared burgers. Small friendly spot. You can share an order of fries with a friend.
Dina FierroAugust 12, 2014A decent burger, but wildly overpriced. Add cheese to a standard sirloin or Kobe beef, and you're easily approaching $15 - sans drink or beverage.
Susan BJanuary 30, 2017Amazing fresh, tasty burgers, super friendly staff. A bit on the pricey side but totally worth it!!!
Erin RathJune 20, 2016Excellent burgers. I ordered my fries crispy and they were done to perfection! Reasonably priced, too.
etta yJune 26, 2011Good sirloin burger and fries. Comfortable space. LOUD jazz. More filling than you's expect. Burger, fries and soda came out to $16.
Susan S.December 20, 2015Get the mixed half regular French fries and half sweet potato fries! So good!- M RozasNovember 7, 2014Breakfast sandwich with avocado, tomato and cheddar! Organic cookies are incredible too.
RMay 18, 2014Hidden gem, burgers aren't dirt cheap but solid and beef sourced from Oregon. Good stuff.- DoubleDeuceFebruary 28, 2013Turkey Burger was good, sweet potato fries mostly over-cooked and the lady at the register asked me 3 times if I wanted ketchup, despite me answering her the first two times...very annoying.
Giulia Doré GertschMay 22, 2015The best Burger ever in NYC *_* with Kobé Beaf .. Woooow! Incredible (:
Polya ShubinaAugust 26, 2013Great burger place with a wonderful Russian-American owner. Also, good Rosé wine ;-)
Tracy SolorzanoApril 5, 2016Burgers are great though a bit pricey. I'll always stop by for the pound cake though!
Subin LimSeptember 7, 2014Sirloin burger is very moist and juicy. In retesting how they use English muffins for buns - not bad
Scott HillNovember 15, 2012white cheddar on the burgers - SO good! really good sweet potato fries as well
FranciscoOctober 29, 2013Burger is über thin, the bread... Not the best choice for a burger. I think for the price, you should rather go to shake shack or even five guys. It's deff too expensive for what you get
JP FordJanuary 31, 2013Delicious, but not cheap. Hard to justify coming here with a 5 Guys just down the block...
@DaDaRocks AdamCohenJanuary 5, 2013Not cheap but worth it. Kobe w/ mushrooms&onions add bacon it's perfect.
Don't overlook the juicy chicken breast sandwich. Sweet potato fries required. Can't go wrong w/ burger. Portuguese bun is insane - @foodpusher
Sarit MSeptember 4, 2011Has to be the juciest burger in NYC - get the kobe beef with avocado. Not cheap though.
LaurettaNovember 15, 2009get the sweet potato fries. they're fried in a cast iron skillet so they're delicious and not greasy
Cassel KrollFebruary 6, 2010Amazing burgers. Splurge on the kobe. You know you want to. And don't forget the sweet potato fries. Read more
Public Art FundOctober 21, 2011Take a bit out of a burger at #StaffPick Zaitzeff if you're by City Hall Park.

"My hotel room overlooks the 9/11 memorial. I worked in the Trade Center years ago and finally got up the courage to walk over. It's wonderful and everyone should visit it to remember and honor."
