If you are out shopping or skating at The Rockefeller Center, this is a great stop for lunch and a drink. Amazing variety of beers and full liquor bar . Friendly and fast service too

Great burger joint ! One of the best burgers we had while visiting NYC. Value for money and nice ambience. Close to Rockefeller center and 5th Av.

Serious Eats

At this classic burger spot all the ingredients come together like a great jazz rhythm section. One taste of their sliders and you'll be coming back for more. Read more

Brandon Cain

Love the setup & feel here. Get ready for long waits at lunch , totally worth it tho. Try the fat cat burger but definitely add a fried egg . Disco fries !!!

Forch

Fat cat is great, greek burger is very tasty. They are smaller than expected, but very tasty! When it gets busy they forget stuff, and mix the orders, i would still recommend it!

Gal Amir

The onion soup burger with maple bacon is to die for!! The nachos are great as well .. For desert take the Chocolate Peanut butter shake .

Jenny Galitz McTighe

Bill's original burger is the best burger I've ever had. The sauce is awesome -- I wish I would have ordered extra. I ordered my burger with Swiss and carmelized onions . Great place for families.

Time Out New York

Here, Chef Brett Reichler smashes the beef patty thin and sears it hard on the flattop for a crusty-on-the-outside, juicy-on-the-inside consistency. (Readers Choice) Read more

DoubleDeuce

It's always very busy and full of out-of-town types and the after-work crowd. For this, I find it myeh. But it's quite convenient, so I also find myself here occasionally drinking a "Cold Ass Beer ".

Kathrin Steinberger

Nice atmosphere, delicious Burgers (try them with sweet potato fries ) and very friendly stuff .

Ingo

Fat Cat - Burger with caramelized onions and American cheese on an English muffin . Won an award some years ago but is tiny and average in taste, make it double if you don't wanna leave hungry

guidens

This place is packed... But is definitely worth while to wait. Fat Cat FTW, Brooklyn Brown Ale to rule 'em all. AND, the best french fries in the whole world. And I mean THE BEST.

A L E X

Bill's Burger taste wonderful! The cheese fries are some of the best ever had. Make sure to grab a spiked shake. Prices are friendly , ambiance is enjoyable, staff is friendly .

Cristina

Spicy jalapeño turkey burger , sweet potato and/or steak fries & campfire shake FTW...PS complaining about a midtown/rock center spot being $$ is silly.Quality place when ur hosting ppl...be grateful!

New York Habitat

This is a great burger spot & family restaurant where you don't have to worry about long lines ! Try the Fat Cat burger & alternative veggie burgers .

WhiskyAvenger

A great place for a delicious burger before seeing a show at Radio City .

Vanessa Borges

The classic Bill's Burger is great. Try the fries they are incredibly perfect. ???????? ????

Marcos Placona

The food was good, and I had the boneless chicken wings . These are not chicken wings , but chicken goujons that have been coated with buffalo sauce . They are good nonetheless, but not wings .

Malek Almutairi

One of the better places in Manhattan. Good service reasonable prices. The good is tasty portions are good.???? ????

Jay Roads

Love the burgers . Love the cheese fries . A simple beer recommendation would be the Cold Ass Beer . If you work near by, they h e lightning fast service if you sit at the bar for break.

Richard Revilla

Thought our server was very attentive. Comfortable place and burger is good. Nothing special but would recommend.

Alex L

A fun place, more fun at the high tables by the front window (for people watching , etc.). The Fat Cat burger is a good choice.

Lizzie Hatfield

Yummy burgers and not too pricey considering location in Rockefeller Center. Get maple bacon in your burger !

Will Prather

Great new restaurant on 51st Street and right down the street from Radio City Music Hall. Great burgers , local brews at very affordable prices . Place was packed by Noon, so arrive a bit earlier.

Serious Eats

Great, super-juicy thin-pattied burgers with a variety of toppings and a good beer selection .

BR Guest Hospitality

And come by for St.Patty's Day - feast on corned beef and cabbage specials, have a cold one, be entertained by Irish Dancers & a Bagpiper and win prizes in our "Pot of Gold" raffle!

Mike Friedlich

This is always a great place to go. Fat Cat Burger and fries are great, and the service is also excellent.

Julia Bien-Aime

They actually serve gluten free buns with their burgers . Just note that it comes at an additional charge. However the food is great!

Steven Swain

Excellent burger . Roasted asparagus is an unexpected and tasty side.

Rorriz_ Dhawi

Friendly Stuff ! Chicken wings French and delicious !

Halstead Property

Combine a holiday staple like eggnog in milkshake form and you have their delectable eggnog milkshake topped with whipped cream and a gingerbread cookie .

Jon Bills

Huge branch of this small burger chain. Service was fast, the burgers were great - especially the veggie burger .

Brittany Elizabeth

Grilled shrimp burger is made with whole shrimp . Delicious! Skip the cole slaw and add the guacamole . Trust me! EatSomethingNew.com

Elena Gribok

Great burgers , right in the city , with a big chose of beer

Halstead Property

Try the enormous chocolate chip pumpkin cupcake with cream cheese icing , crispy orange sprinkles atop spiced cake loaded with bits and pieces of chocolate .

The Corcoran Group

Packed during lunch and after work, but we’ll worth the wait for their delicious Classic Burger , Boneless Chicken Wings and Sweet Potato Fries .

Jason Brew

Surprisingly not a tourist trap. Genuinely good burgers at decent prices on the same block as Radio City . Try the disco fries !

Vizualize

Bring plenty of Tums. Everything comes out grease soaked and gray. The buns are so soaked with meat juice and grill grease you can't even hold the burger .

Juraj Kralik

Great food, great music , lots of beer to chose from. Try Bill's Burger - although it looks small you will have enough.

Matthew Ferguson

If you like milkshakes , get the "Campfire ". Vanilla ice cream with toasted marshmallows . Delicious!

Bob D

Great place, good music . Great burger .

Heidi De Bruycker

Good food reasonable price classic American bar but that s all it takes when you re in for burgers in the city

#victorjpc
