BurgerFi

Your local BURGERFI isn’t some industrialized fast food giant. They were started in a gourmet kitchen, by gourmet Chefs. Not knowing fast food, the back of the house is built to be less burger joint, more five-star restaurant. When they needed a sauce, the Chefs didn’t call a food supplier...

There are “urban fries ” (Parmesan , herbs, garlic aïol i), plus six different toppings for regular fries . Most surprising of all, you can ask for your spuds cooked “well done” or even limp.

Brigitte Perez

AMAZING blu cheese & bacon burger with parmesan fries . The cashier was super friendly and helpful being it was our first time.

Trisha Bonollo

Finding this place was serendipity! The veggie burger was fabulous and my boyfriend said the ceo burger was delicious too! We also liked the hand cut fries , v tasty! Also, the staff has been v kind!

Carly Heitlinger

The burgers are great, the french fries are amazing, and the custard is out of this world.

Paige C

Their manager is wonderful. He handled the customers so well and really defined what good customer service means! Makes such a difference when you eat somewhere.

Michael O

The burgers are good (Not big like what you get normally get at Five Guys) and the side are large. Still great food

Kira Rocha

I get my weekdays lunch here. Make your own burger with lettuce instead of of bun . Tasty burgers and good beer , soda selection

Sigalle Barness

Veggie burger was delicious! Seriously one of the best I have ever had. Ever. Staff was super friendly as well !

Chelsea

New York Magazine Cheap Eats issue says, "The house cheeseburger is noteworthy - on the hefty side with 2 expertly melted, strategically positioned slices of cheese , possessing a deep, beefy flavor."

Roger R

Basically an attempt to copy Shake Shack. They fries are way better than SS, but the burgers aren't quite there. Get the Brisket burger it's the best thing on the menu!

Nikki Vargas

Half way between Five Guys and Shake Shack. The fries are awesome, especially the urban (Parmesan and herbs covered fries slathered with an aioli sauce ).

Brad Garoon

The music is loud . You've been warned. The Coke machine has every flavor combo imaginable. The burgers might not look huge, but if you feel hungry afterwards you should see a doctor .

Brittany Sübers

Veggie Burger is amazing. The white cheddar and aioli sauce is a great so I always have it as is. The staff is friendly .

Pierre van Medge

Well , the burgers here are not quite as good as at Shake Shack in my opinion. Reasonable size. The fries are delicious. Nice selection of draft beer .

Alana Cadiz

Get the veggie burger & $5 wine for a delicious inexpensive meal 🍔 🍷 or the burger topped with a veggie burger !

Mkimml

Not a bad place for a burger fix...fries are great and the veggie burger is far superior to then Shack's shroom burger . Burgers are pretty good. Solid, if unspectacular, burger option in the hood.

Nina LoSchiavo

1/2 stack green style!!! Double the patties, double the crunch, double the flavor. You don't need to love quinoa to be crazy about this combo.

Melissa Rosenthal

This place is fresh! Order the CEO burger or the breakfast all day.

Adrian Hannah

Have a BurgerFi cheeseburger with bacon and wash it down with a Key Lime Concrete

Josh Collins

Had a pretty good craft beer tap list . Burgerfi burger and fries were good, but the beer-battered onion rings were on point

Yumi Inada

BEST VEGGIE BURGER I have eaten. Better than the normal burgerfi burger . Definitely worth a try

Brittany Goodwyn

The burgers are delicious, but the onion rings are amazing.

Ryan Eick

Just as good as Shake Shack, but there are less lines . Can't go wrong with that!

Lisa L

Great for a quick burger and a beer or a glass of wine . Outdoor seating !

Jenny H

Onion rings are humongous, Shake Shack fries better imo, but the burgers and shakes are comparable. It's a decent imitation if you don't feel like walking the extra 4 blocks.

Emily Mann

Try the all you can eat breakfast burger for an early dinner make sure to check out the menu

Nicole Serratore

I'm a sucker for the make your own flavored soda machine . A diet cherry caffeine free coke option is amazing.

Colin Lee

Veggiefi is a very good veggie burger . The fries portion is a good size

John McLaughlin

The Veggiefi burger is so much better than that cheesy heat explosion at Shake Shake . Great beers too.

Jeanette Ttsp Sullivan

Best veggie burger on Long Island , hands down! Get the Cajun seasoning on the fries , it's amazing.

David Lanson

Quinoa veg is one of the best I've had...and the onion rings are not messing around. No sir!

Jessica Densky @ NextStopNY

Veggie burger good, fries good, shake good. However, the burger is kiddie sized and the large fry is enough for several people. Maybe they need to proportion the burgers to be more like fries .

Cappy Popp

Brisket burger not worth it. Ideally skip this place walk a bit to go to JG Melon and have one of the best burgers in NYC for cheaper.

Brett Fromme

Good burgers and fries . They serve a good selection of beers .

Daniel L.

Hefty burgers paired with delicious onion rings . Fun chairs, too.

R G

Best veggie burger EVER. And you can get it with a lettuce bun !

Paige C

Really fresh burgers . Good size. Customize your own creation!

Nathaniel Rupple

They have the new Coca-Cola Machine that allows you to choose any Coke product in any flavor - boo-ya.

JennyJenny

The onion rings are intimidating, but the burgers aren't great. They don't taste like they are 100% beef . They have an unnatural sponge-like quality.

Eric Love

Simple. Filling. Delicious. Love the onion rings !

Jezzyka Mueller

Super friendly and helpful staff !

Jessica

Love there veggie burger hands down the best!

Ben Zweig

If you get a fried egg , make sure to specify how runny you want it to avoid a mess.

Christen Clinkscales

Texas Chili Dog was awesome! Split the fries .

ቢያቢ ቢያቢ

gotta try the vegi burger , best you can find!

Rog

I don't drink soda , but the soda machine is epic! I wanted to serve everyone's drinks.

Theresa Geiger

Breakfast all day burger was awesome but they are sloooow.

Matt Flight

The burgers made by Doris are EXTRA good!

Jason Brew

Skip the crazy lines at the overrated Shake Shack. Burger-Fi is every bit as good as far as burgers and has better fries .

Karen Chu

Not as good as shake shack! Different fry variations (with chili , Parmesan herb) but not very impressive. Walk the 3 blocks to shake shack.
