Where is the Best Hamburger in New York, New York?
I have never really felt the need to write a review before. I think it’s sad that just getting good service warrants a review but I have to write about this. I went to Blackstones on a Monday night expecting it to be on the slower side but there was a decent crowd. The cocktail server was great and seemed way too happy. When we asked her why she said she had no reason to be unhappy. Then the reason came or at least my boyfriend and I thought so. We watched a very snotty couple sit down next to us, nothing was right with them from the start but the server just kept smiling and being polite. I almost said something to the couple but my boyfriend gave me that look that meant stay out of it. We ate our hamburgers and my boyfriend stared at the TV over my head, very annoying but had a pleasant time anyway. The food was good (the english muffing bun was odd but we really liked it) but what most impressed us again was the service. We never needed anything and when my boyfriend went to the bar
oh my God…. you know the out of control feeling that you get when you are hangin at home, watching tv, and you eat chip after chip after chip, and its impossible to stop? Imagine that feeling x ten…it happened to me, last Wednesday when I met some friends for what was supposed to be a drink or two after work. Within minutes of scoping the food the waitress was carrying, we ordered practically everything on the giant wall menu. My favorite was, without question, the best burger Ive ever eaten: a medium rare Buffalo Style Beef Burger- with just enough wisconsin blue cheese and buffalo hot sauce to have me “hmmm” all the way thru to my third one…. I also indulged in tater tots- easily as tasty as mom’s, and a milk shake that im positive they will never create at any ice cream parlor: a Mocha Cookie Hard Shake: Kahlua (really) whipped for three minutes with Haagan Daz Cookies and Cream Ice Cream. UNBELIEVABLE, all this food and a buzz! Assuming there was a wee bit of room left in
I was so excited when I heard that Pop Burger was opening on 58th St but I went there once and now will never go back. The burgers are OK (nowhere near the quality of Goodburger), but more importantly I was horrified to see that the person who is handling the burger is also the one picking up the garbage. I saw with my own eyes the server pick up the trash can with all these cruddy food bits hanging over it and with those same hands pick up my burgers to pack them up – no changing his gloves in between! Clearly basic hygiene is not a priority here, go elsewhere unless you want to risk ingesting some bacteria along with your burger.
