Best burger in East Village . There, I said it.
Damn, the Juicy Lucy is a good burger and a must-try for first-timers. Other must-tries are the kale chips (I have no idea what they do, but they are delicious!) and fried pickles (also top-notch).
Excellent burgers ! The bacon egg & cheese burger is probably one of the best breakfast burgers I've ever had. Just remember to brig money - it's cash only .
This little hole in the wall burger has great, juicy meat blends and toppings that'll satisfy any burger whim (except no Dijon mustard !! - for shame). Def get a side of crispy kale crack with ur burgy
Do this: Fried local pickles followed by the amaaazing Juicy Lucy followed by the chocolate chip cookies served with milk . They bake the cookies fresh when you order. Warm and gooey. Wow. I'm in love.
This place was amazing to stumble upon, after a long walk in east village , the burgers were really mouthwatering. Topping options make this place great. Enjoyed the sweet potato fries , atmosphere.
The sandwiches are amazing! Beautiful craft food in a cozy , agrarian city environment. The Juicy Lucy is a bit messy but marvelously tasty. Great service too.
So the winning formula is: Juicy Lucy + Sweet Fries + Kale Salad all with a Brooklyn Pilsner ! Great burger joint with cool character downstairs.
Whitmans has a super legit Juicy Lucy made with a short-rib blend, caramelized onion , spicy pickles , and an ooze-happy stuffing of pimento cheese . Read more
A legendary burger joint in East Village . Peanut butter and bacon (PB&B) is a kind of local special here. Try anything, you won’t regret.
Great little spot for a quality burger w/o all the unnecessary hype. Spicy burger was fantastic. Just enough to heat combined w cool avocado . Fried pickles are perfectly crisp. Crack kale subpar.
For a phenomenal NYC burger , checkout Whitmans in the East Village . Try the Juicy Lucy for a mouth watering burger experience, filled with pimento cheese .
Crack kale and juicy Lucy burger . incredible. Better than Minetta Tavern. Very nice staff . Cozy seating area downstairs. Fresh baked, warm chocolate chip cookies and milk . Get coupons on googlemaps
Get the fried pickles . Then punch the guy next to you in the face. Then order 2 Juicy Lucys - give one to the dude who's face you punched in. It's delicious!
Bacon Egg and Cheese is unforgettable, one of the best simple burgers of the world for sure. Basic, straightforward, tasty.
Anything! The food, the service, the music . Simply amazing. High recommending the Juicy Lucy with Blue Cheese fries .
All burgers are cooked to a solid medium-rare. For first timers: Order the Juicy Lucy , but beware the pocket of melted pimento cheese in the center of the patty.
Unbelievable food (spicy patty, fries , ice cream sandwich !), unbelievable service and the occasional Mikkeller . What a gem. Can’t wait to go back.
Another vote for the Juicy Lucy . It is absolutely juicy & absolutely delicious! The crispy kale is a fun alternative to fries .
Cheesesteak - (also try Jucy Lucy burger ) - this take on the classic has Pat LaFrieda chipped beef covered in melty cheese and caramelized onions , all on a proper,on a hoagie .
The Juicy Lucy is near the top of the best NYC hamburger list. Get it medium rare. The cracked kale is a delicious alternative to fries and serves 2
Here, gooey pimento cheese gives a Southern twang to the Minneapolis-style Juicy Lucy—a burger variant cooked with cheese inside the patty rather than on top. It's a burger worth fantasizing about. Read more
Some of the best burgers in NYC. The flavor of the meat is outstanding. Only negative is the burgers are a bit on the small side.
The pb&b is so good. Who knew peanut butter and bacon on a burger could taste like heaven?! The juicy lucy is also a classic.
Two words: juicy Lucy . Perfectly springy patties, amazing crispy fries , cute decor AND they play ABBA and the Cure!!
My first Juicy Lucy . Been chasing the feeling of that first one but can't find it anywhere else. I always come back for my fix. Make sure you have napkins.
By far the best burger in NY! Try the Upstate Burger or Juicy Lucy or why not both ????
The Juicy Lucy literally explodes in your mouth. A patty with a filling get of cheese that oozes it after the first bite!
Vegetarians : Get the pickle chips to start and the succotash made rite for your main. Save the dipping sauce from the pickle chips and put it on your sandwich . Mmmmmm.
One of the best burgers I've had. So good I had to have two the first time I had it. Few seats but worth the wait.
Best fried pickles I've ever had. Kale crisps are perfectly and deliciously oily and the juicy Lucy is the bomb. One of the best burgers and overall meals I've had in a long time.
Great burgers : get the Juicy Lucy , made with hearty LaFrieda short rib with a molten interior of pimento cheese .
Spicy burger is awesome, as are the Brussel sprouts if they are available. Sit back, enjoy the wait. Your delicious food is coming.
Truly exceptional burgers and they have a front lawn and love bacon as much as I do. This is an excellent establishment
The sandwiches are amazing. The Juicy Lucy is a bit messy but marvelously tasty. The blue cheese fries are also fantastic.
Craft burger spit- but I opt for the Philly Cheesesteak , crack kale and blue cheese fries .
I love the patty melt here. But I would happily eat any burger . There's lots of extra space downstairs too!
If you're not in the mood for red meat, Whitman's does a solid turkey burger . And obviously don't forget an order of crack kale .
The kale chips here are awesome. Then again, kale chips never disappoint. The fried pickles--best I've had. They are sliced and fried to create the perfect blend of juicy and crunchy.
All the burgers are good - more importantly, do NOT skip on the crack kale and fried pickles .
One of the best burgers in the East Village ! Try the blue cheese fries .
Peanut butter bacon burger is sweet savory perfection. Also grab the buttery corn & make sure you sit downstairs.
Try the Juicy Lucy before anything else! The Bacon & Egg Burger is also tasty! Chicken soup (with a slightly spicy broth from Jalapenos ) and warm salty chocolate chip cookies are ridiculous as well .
As if this place isn't perfect enough, check out the wallpaper with Rooster and Hen copulating in various positions to add that finer detail to your dining experience.
Really really really good burgers . This is now my top burger joint in downtown Manhattan .
Fantastic burgers . The PB&B is insane. The Juicy Lucy is just as good as the ones in Minneapolis
Great for medium sized groups and birthday dinners . The kale is incredible, and the burgers are delicious.
You have to order the PB & B Burger , which stands for peanut butter and bacon . It is a mouth-watering combination!
The Jucy Lucy absolutely surpasses the hype. Incredible crust, great flavor, pink center, cheese . And I love any restaurant with house wine .
Love the juicy Lucy and the hound burger - can't go wrong!
Get the bistro burger! This place lives up to the hype! Delicious! - Josh Warfield
Burgers can sometimes be salty but they're juicy & delicious. Fries are great. Try the Shack Attack concrete for dessert! Long wait usually, check webcam on their website to see the line before going! - Asli S
Bacon cheeseburger is big, and delicious. Sweet potato fries! - Roger Resnicoff
The swirl with crunch is classic. Ask for an affogato (not on the menu) and they'll create it for you. The Truffles and cookies make great gifts! - Kayleigh Harrington
They have some of the best vegan flavors in the city! Try the Ovenly chocolate chip cookie. - stephanie mckissick
