• group dinner, party of 7

  Party of 7 from Europe with 2 great burger fans who had heard good things about the place. Claudine D was very patient in taking our separate orders. We dined in. Cuisson was prompt as was the service. The burgers were all really excellent, the fries were good without being special. We can only recommend

• group dinner, party of 6

  decent but they rushed us out of the booth after 40 minutes when we easily spent 300$ for a 6 person group. time stamps to prove the time! they tried telling us to leave?? then proceeded to try and clear our table and poured out our drinks when they were half full as we were letting friends out of the booth. they made an assumption we were done when in reality we eat fast to begin with. i will NEVER return and will not be recommending.

• group dinner, party of 6

  This is a solid place to grab a Smashburger. The staff was friendly, which was a nice surprise for New York. It took about ten minutes to seat a group of six on a Saturday night even though it was pretty busy. I got the classic Smashburger with a side of onion rings. The burger was juicy with a good amount of sauce, jalapeños were a nice touch. The onion rings were the standout item for me. They have a big selection of sauces which is a win. The ghost pepper ranch was interesting to try, but the classic house sauce was the one I liked most. A good spot if you are craving a Smashburger downtown.

• friends dinner, party of 7

  The best!!!!! I love a burger joint with a small menu because you know everything on it they’ll do perfectly. We loved our burgers - no frills, just amazing flavors and quality product. The sides were awesome too, particularly the frickles and onion rings! Loaded tots were mysteriously loaded with burger meat and other goodies. Casual spot with no reservations accepted. We waited 20’ on a Friday night for a group of 7. Love this place!!!!

• friends dinner

  Delicious burgers. Fries were just ok. Came here on a Friday night with a group of friends - line outside the door. But the line moved quickly, and service was quick and friendly. I will definitely come back.
