Burger Joint

New York, New York, United States

Burger Joint at Le Parker Meridien

The Burger Joint is a small restaurant tucked away in a corner off the lobby of Le Parker Meridien hotel in midtown Manhattan. The hotel is beautiful, but the Burger Joint is a grungy little restaurant hidden behind a big curtain.

Somehow the Burger Joint received a number of positive reviews early on, and now it often has a wait outside the restaurant to get in. Many people who visit NYC like to go here to experience the "best" burgers in the city. Unfortunately, they won't find those at the Burger Joint.

The many people who try to experience the burgers here often result in a line. When we visited, around 3pm on a Sunday, the wait to order was approximately 30 minutes. The crowds of tourists make the staff rushed and often a bit rude.

There are many other places in NYC that offer better value and a better experience. For delicious high-end burgers, try the Bare Burger. If you're looking for a cheaper spot to get a good burger, Five Guys Burgers and Fries offers better burgers without the attitude/wait.

Two burgers, fries, and a milkshake

Both the burgers and fries were frozen before being cooked. The burgers were pretty average hamburgers, and the fries were slightly below average. The milkshake was OK and tasted a bit watered down.
