The first thing I heard about this place when they opened was their similarity to Shake Shack. Since I like Shake Shack, that was not a bad thing to me. I could see similarities in their offerings, and also their logo. Regardless, they seem to be doing pretty good with high reviews. There is a small seating area right at the entrance with counter table and bar stool chairs. The inside is not very big, just enough to fit a handful of people comfortably. It was nice and clean, bright and open. They had a delivery staffs on stand-by, as they seem to get many delivery orders. They don’t have many seating, but a creative way to maximize it. They have a counter with bar stool in the inside, and another counter, set several inches lower, facing the restaurant with metal chairs. I believe they close the window during the cold months, which eliminates the few seats that are places outside. Once your order is placed, then they start to cook your order. This means that it takes a bit longer time for your food to ready, but it will be super fresh! We ordered Overlook burger, Amsterdam burger, Sweet Potato Fries, Cheese Fries, Dolce de Leche Shake, and Mint Chocolate Chip Shake. They do not have any “set” items, so everything need to be ordered separately. The staffs were young and chit chatted with each other the entire time. But they did cook the food pretty well, and they kept the place clean. At a place like this, that is much more important than a friendly, polite service…although, it will be nice to get both… I was very happy to visit this place finally. I was pleasantly surprised with their high quality ingredients and the food. It was better than I expected! I would like to go back and try some other offerings in a near future.

I had this spot bookmarked and was in the area and had a taste for a burger. First off very good customer service from the lady at the register was great and helpful. They have a very good quality of meat for the price and very delicious menu selection across the board for burger junkies. The bread was average and simple but everything else in between was very good. Heads up for first timers if you are claustrophobic then you will not like it here because it is pretty tight when busy. I definitely recommend using the chipolte sauce on the side for the first time to make sure you like it so you dont mess up your buger. The sauce has an interesting taste to it which may not be for everyone who have a certain taste for Chipolte sauce they are used to. My rating is really a 3.5 star. Its a good burger for the cost but it could be better in certain areas in my opinion. I would come back when in the mood for a quick bite most definitely.

My wife swears by this place! She loves the burgers here but i am the one writing the review and feel less enthusiastic about the joint. Well for starters they seem to have the "incredible shrinking menu". Every time i decide to order something with my wife the menu has changed yet again, i tried ordering their delicious lamb burger and fish burger on different occasions and they were no longer available. The kosher hot dogs i ordered were different than what was described on our take out menu and this seems to be a problem with this place..i have never gotten an entirely correct order. Also the burgers are quite expensive for the area, dont let the other reviews here fool you. Although the food is tasty for the most part, it comes at a premium price for the heights. Meh...im sure my wife will continue to order from this place but ill skip those burgers from now on...

The food here is great--no doubt--but the service, not so much. I placed a future delivery order on Seamless for 7:30 tonight. At 6:35, I get a call from the delivery driver that hes at my building. I called the main number to make sure everything was in order, and instead of apologizing, offering to make my food again and deliver it at the correct time, the woman I spoke to said that the future delivery time cannot be guaranteed and is an estimate. 15 minutes either way, ok I understand, but it was almost an hour early. That is not acceptable. I told her I wouldnt even be home for ten more minutes. She said shed send the delivery guy over in ten minutes... I guess Ill be getting a cold burger and fries. Not happy about this.

Fries are great, the burgers are quite mediocre. There really isnt anything special with the burgers as far as tastes. However, some are actually interesting with the addition of avocado. Overall, the food is the same everywhere else. The good thing is that it is located uptown and can compete with shake shack. This place brings the Downtown atmosphere Uptown and has a great selection of music. If you are looking for a quick burger fix from an average location I recommend burger heights. Juicy-ness: 3/5 Fries: 5/5 location:4/5 Friendliness:5/5 Freshness:4/5 Price: $$$, it is too expensive for its small burgers. You also have to buy your fries. Id rather go to shake shack, or steak and shake.

Great little burger spot in Washington Heights. They have a nice selection of burgers, patties are cooked to order, only downside is burgers are cooked fresh so it takes around 8 minutes. Fries are large portions, easily shared by two, and are thick cut seasoned fries. I ordered the cheese fries and the serving couldnt be finished with a burger and sharing them with my girlfriend. Seating is limited and is limited to counter top seating with stools. They do have a soda fountain, with Coke products, and free refills. I ordered two burgers, The Heights burger w/ bacon and The Amsterdam, cheese fries and a regular soda; the total came out to $20 with change. I thought it was worth it.

My son is a young man with autism. He is quite picky about his food. He devoured the delicious burger from BH and I loved mine too. Fast, friendly service with a smile. The handsome couple that owns this place are perfect in their work and work ethic. I see this as the first of many restaurants for this couple, if that is what they want. Go here, spend as you would in any fast food chain but love the food for its freshness and taste. This is NOT a food factory. The tastes you can create there are unique. You wont be disappointed.

Great Burger place in the Heights. Obviously Shake Shack inspired, which I wont complain about. I got cheese fries and the Fort Washigton veggie burger. The fries are amazing, better than Shake Shack in my opinion. The veggie burger is also good,the guac topping is above average and the party has good texture and flavor. My only wish would be that the veggie patty were smaller, it feels too big for the bun and overwhelms the other toppings. The patty size also makes the burger hard to eat.

As a burger joint is place is probably good, but the veggie burgers are a poor choice. The burger was dry and lacked any taste, and I suspect that didnt roast it but heated it in the oven. The sweet potato fries were not bad, but they serve them with a sweet souse, also a poor choice, since the sweet potato is, well, sweet. Overall, if youre a meat eater maybe youll enjoy (but swap the souse for the sweet potato fries), as a vegetarian, dont bother.
