"Went for dinner on a Tuesday evening around 8pm, was a 45 min 1 hour wait for the queue. Queuing system was a bit chaotic. Ordered a cheeseburger and bacon burger for two people. The atmosphere of the restaurant is small and comfy, full of nostalgia and little memoranda. The food is average for my taste, the beef in the burger was slightly under seasoned and I did not feel that the burgers were particularly special compared to the other places that I’ve tried in New York. Chips need to be ordered separately from the burgers and cost around $7 not worth the price, small portions and were soggy in my opinion. Seems that people come to this place for nostalgia of old school diner vibes. Is it worth the queue? For me, probably no."

Probably the most authentic NYC burger you're going to find. The place is small but comfy and cozy. You'll be served some very generous sizes and the prices match the quality. Will be back!

Finally had an opportunity to stop by for one of their delicious burgers. They do not disappoint! Simple. Expertly prepared. Great char from the grill. It was everything that I wanted in a great burger.

This burger restaurant is fantastic. It appears to be a popular spot for locals in Manhattan. We loved the food and the vibe of the place. The people there were very friendly. Overall, this was a trip and wait that was definitely worth it. View menu

Wow wow this place was amazing the burgers were amazing. Love the indoor and outdoor setting. I saw why it's so popular. More than 50 persons were waiting to get in an be seated. However they were fast in seating all guest. Most courteous staff. Definitely recommend. 5 stars for me. Vaccination card required to dine indoor.

Everyone at our table agreed that the burger at this restaurant was the best we've ever had. It was expertly seasoned and cooked just right—truly unbeatable. The staff were not only friendly and humorous but also wonderfully attentive to other guests' babies. If we rated this place on a 100-point scale, J.G. Melon would effortlessly earn a perfect 100/100.

The burgers at this restaurant are incredible, and the ambiance is wonderful. It's truly an experience everyone should have at least once in their lifetime. I ordered a Coke, a medium cheeseburger (I wish I had chosen medium rare) topped with pickles and onions, along with a side of fries and extra pickles. If you're a fan of steak burgers, you will definitely enjoy this one. They also provide ketchup and mustard on the table so you can personalize your burger just the way you like it. View menu

The burger was good, but it was way too expensive. The service was terrible. I was told to wait in line to be added to a list, but when someone spoke to the staff, they were immediately added. When I approached the staff and mentioned that I had been waiting for a while, I was rudely told to calm down. Despite this, we decided to wait as other restaurants were full and our child was hungry. The servers inside were friendly but very slow with all the tables. The burger was tasty but small, and the chips were average. In my opinion, it was overpriced and I wouldn't return.

The burger at this restaurant is excellent, but be prepared to pay with cash as they do not accept cards. The atmosphere is delightful, with decorations featuring melons and watermelons. The traditional bacon cheese burger was exactly what I expected - tasty and cooked to perfection, although my medium rare order was closer to medium. The pecan pie for dessert was also very enjoyable. The service was friendly and attentive, and the prices were reasonable. Overall, the experience was worth it, but remember to bring cash. I highly recommend visiting this place, as it embodies the essence of a classic American diner.
