Went purely on review. Staff was excellent: very friendly. I went with my wife and 1-year-old; the staff was welcoming and easily accommodated our baby needs. I would say family friendly, but the collage of vinyl album covers (albeit very cool) has two covers with half naked women on them to which my daughter kept looking back. New waitress from Austin, TX was great and played with my daughter while we dined. Tried the black and white shake per review and staff recommendation-it wasnt all that (vanillla ice cream, too much hersheys chocolate syrup and one crushed oreo). Then came my churasco...I ordered the derby-just enough ranch, avocado, bleu cheese and bacon over grilled chicken (I added grilled onions). Have you ever tasted something so good you just wanted to walk over slap somebody? Fortunately, I was tucked in tightly to the back corner of the booth seat and couldnt reach any one other than my wife. Unfortunately, her chicken was just as good and she had quicker hands. If I lived here, this sandwich plus warm staff would cause me to eat here at the very least monthly.

Came here for the $10 special - which includes a a burger with any cheese, fries, and a drink (including a can of beer!). I think its only on eweeknights and there are no signs for it so youll have to ask. Perfect post work out dinner with Ben. I normally get medium rare, but was advised to get medium since they undercook it a bit, and glad I went with medium because it was still bloody and red inside (but cooked throughout). The buns are not dense enough to hold the bun, but I kind of like my bun soaking in juice. I had to add a little extra salt on the patty because it was a little underseasoned. But other than that I found the burger to be the perfect size for a hungry girl. Side of fries were salted and peppered and crispy!! So good!!! Id love to come back, especially since teh special is so good, except I REALLY need to be on that diet that Ive been talking about forever.

Great food and amazing customer service. I placed an order from Grub Hub and they defaulted my order to pick-up even though Ive always opted for delivery (Grub Hubs fault, not Island Burgers). After waiting a while I received a call from I.B. saying my order was ready for pickup. Realizing the mixup I asked if they could deliver the order as I had a toddler and baby at home and could not go to pick up the food. They told me I was just outside the delivery range but would do it anyways. To top it off since the food was sitting for a while they offered to remake it so it would be hot when it arrived. Talk about the level of customer service. I could not be any more thankful and appreciative. I will definitely continue ordering from them in the future, also because their burgers are so good too!

Came here on a Friday night after visiting the Met. A party at the bar was leaving, and we sat down immediately. The bar area in the front sat the four of us comfortably. The menu of burgers are humongous. Plan to spend at least five minutes reading it and another ten minutes narrowing down what to get. (All the options are amazing.) I got a basic cheese burger and a chocolate shake. I shared an order of cheese/sloppy joe fries, but it was too big for the two of us. We shouldve shared between the four of us. (The shake was one of the best Ive had, but it filled me up so I barely ate my humongous burger.) Come hungry and leave really happy with leftovers!

El lugar es pequeño y no parece llamar mucho la atención, aunque la decoración es moderna tipo hipster/cuqui. Sin embargo lo que realmente hace que valga la pena la visita son las hamburguesas. Son excelentes en general, así como las patatas y la cerveza de barril. Muy recomendable.

Excellent and highly varied selection of hamburgers at this rustic setting. Edith Pilaf-inspired music played while the U.S. Open was on while I was here, and the happy hour $5 draft beers were a pretty good deal. The hamburgers came cooked as ordered (medium), but the size of the patty and perhaps because it sat on the bun instead of a plate or something to drain properly, caused the bun itself to disintegrate around half way through. So I finished it with knife and fork, which wasnt a bad way to eat it, I suppose. Would come here again.

I finally trekked on over this place after reading all of the favorable reviews. I might add, it was 20 freaking degrees out, but I had to try out their homemade lobster ravioli. Man o man, it was sooo good !!! I knew that I should of bought two boxes. The guy behind the counter was very amicable and let me try various samplings. The place is jam packed with many heavenly delights. I will definitely come back for more!!! Warning: do not enter this establishment on an empty stomach !!! you will be tempted to buy everything!!!

Loved this place... Till today. Food is likely still good but the guy running it today is a jerk. March 28th, tall ugly guy with glasses and doesnt shave. No one in the place, music somewhat loud, asked if hed mind turning it done for a few after a rough day. He said no. You can move but not turning it down. Its always the people that ruin things. Itll be a long time till I go back so if the owner reads this, you just lost a customer. Cant imagine Im the first victim. Lots of other places just as good.

Interesting little burger joint. This place has a HUGE selection of different styles of burgers. Mine might have been too spicy but it was under the spicy section of the menu so I cant complain about that. The portions were huge and came out quick. I loved the huge portion of cheese fries I got. And I highly recommend having a shake for dessert. The strawberry milkshake was probably the best Ive ever had! Expect a wait or having to sit at the bar because the dining room is incredibly small.

It is a very nice place to eat in NY actually visited two consecutive days there instead. The first day we ordered hamburgers, meat the best we tasted, we consider it a bit expensive because it does not include french fries or salad and elsewhere for a price of about $ 16 per burger. The second day we ordered wings and Caesar salad, thoroughly recommended as beer, if you go Monday through Friday between 4-7 pm is happy hour beers

Fantástica hamburguesa! Nos encantó el trato y la variedad de hamburguesas y Sandwich. Una gran sorpresa porque no esperábamos encontrar un sitio tan bueno mientras dábamos un paseo.

Magnolia easily makes some of my favorite cupcakes in NYC. However, their star is definitely the Banana Pudding - theyre famous for it! Its delicious layers of vanilla wafers, fresh bananas and creamy vanilla pudding. So good! Some of my favorite cupcake flavors are the Caramel, Red Velvet, Banana, and PB&J. A must-go spot while in New York City.

Found this on TripAdvisor and only 10 minutes away from our hotel. Small and very lively. Not surprisingly we both had burgers and shared a loaded baked potato and onion rings. All of which were fantastic. The service was also excellent. It maybe only a burger bar but its an excellent burger bar. Good beer and wine too.
