    Chocolate milkshake

    The last few times we have been there, one of us order a shake (they are so thick and good) but lately the glass is not full, the last 2-3 times we ordered they bring it like the picture here. So lower the price for it or fill up the glass as you guys used to. Food has been good.

    I can say, after so many visits, this 5 Napkin Burger location is my favorite and this is definitely one of the first places I will consider when I am craving a well made burger. Service here is always good, they are friendly and very attentive, definitely fast workers too. Ambiance is good, the place is always a little loud and a little intimate at the same time, specially if you come after sunset when they light up candles at each table. Really love it here!!!!

    Ordered the food for pick up. Had a very easy and friendly experience. Everyone was very nice. The burger was huge and I think a good value. Overall would recommend and cooked to my liking. The truffle fries were not crispy and were only ok. The chocolate cake was huge and overall pretty moist although the frosting was too sweet. Would recommend.

    It's been a while since I've had 5 Napkin Burger. I remember when there was a location near Union Square. I was in the mood for a burger and drink. I honestly wished that fries were included with the burger. I had the Bacon Cheddar Burger and it was well prepared and delicious. For drinks, I had the Pomegranate Margarita and Samuel Adams beer. I enjoyed the drinks and burger. The wings were on the salty side and the Truffle Parmesan fries were heavily drenched in truffle and parmesan. They can definitely scale back on the amount of parmesan and truffle they use. The server was very attentive and the restaurant was pretty quiet for a Thursday night. I'll return to try other options on the menu. I'll just get regular fries next time.

    Listen, kid, pull up a chair--no, not that one, that one wobbles like a three-legged greyhound--and let me tell you something about burgers. I been around, alright? I've seen things. Yonkers, Monticello, a brief and regrettable flirtation with Atlantic City... point is, I know meat. Camel smoke curls--you smell that? That's wisdom. That and a little Cutty Shark sweating through a paper cup. Doctor says cut back. I says, "Doc, you ever tried livin' without flavor?" Conversation over. Now--burgers. Everybody's got a burger. Every schmuck with a flat-top thinks he's curing cancer between two buns. But there are levels, kid. Levels. You got your one-napkin burgers. Dry. Sad. Like chewing on a library book. You eat it, you forget it, you question your life choices. Then--then--you graduate. Two napkins. Now we're talkin'. Juice shows up to the party, maybe says hello, maybe shakes your hand, nothing crazy. But a three-napkin burger? Ooof. I've had a few in my day. A few. And lemme tell you--they were money. Drippin' down the wrist, little collateral damage on the shirt, but you don't care. That's a burger with ambition. That's a burger that says, "Yeah, I might ruin your dry cleaning, but you'll thank me later." Four napkins? Rare air. That's like hittin' a trifecta blindfolded while your bookie's yellin' in your ear. You don't plan for it. It just... happens. You sit there afterward, hands lookin' like you just changed the oil in a Buick, and you think, "I have seen God." But then... then... You hear whispers. Rumors. Guys at the track talkin' low, like it's contraband. "Five Napkins," they say. I'm thinkin', what is this, a joke? Five napkins? What are we, detailin' a car or eatin' lunch? So I go. Of course I go. I'm not dead yet. I sit down, order the burger. Guy brings it out like he's carryin' a newborn. There's a hush. I swear to you, a hush. First bite--first bite--and it's like the Hoover Dam gave up. Juice everywhere. Structural integrity? Forget it. This thing collapses like a bad alibi. I'm laughin', kid. I'm laughin' like a man who just beat the odds. Napkin one--gone. Two--gone. Three--I'm in survival mode now. Four--this is gettin' biblical. By five? By five I'm not even a person anymore. I'm an event. I'm a situation. And here's the thing--they knew. They knew what they were doin'. This ain't sloppy by accident. This is engineering. This is art. This is a burger that looks you in the eye and says, "You don't eat me. You endure me." So yeah. You go ahead, try your little artisanal whatever with the aioli and the personality crisis. That's fine. Live your life. But don't come to me--don't come to me--until you've gone the distance. Until you've stared down five napkins and come out the other side changed. Now pass me that cup. The ice melted, but the message didn't.

    Great food, delicious omelette with Truffle Cheese, stellar service, and fun-filled atmosphere. A sure win...

    Pumpkin Spice Shake
    Hunter K.

    Very solid burger! The pumpkin spice milkshake was exceptional, my personal favorite item we got. We were told it was made with real pumpkin puree! Fries were so so. Great server, prompt timing on food. We were seated outside and were surrounded by scaffolding but they had it decorated nicely.

    Appetisers, so tasty!!

    5 Napkin Burger - UWS Such a great spot! The vibe is warm and inviting, perfect for a chill dinner or drinks with friends. I had the rainbow roll and was genuinely impressed -- super fresh and packed with flavor. Their cocktails were amazing too -- strong, creative, and beautifully made. Also, shoutout to José, our server -- he was so friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Great food, great drinks, and even better service. Can't wait to come back!

    Chocolate Layer Cake
    Ray M.

    So I was in the mood for a burger and a nice mimosa so I strolled over to 5 Napkin to satisfy this craving. They have 2 for 1 mimosas all week until 4pm! So that was great. And I went for a Cheeseburger with an over easy egg to give it some juice and it was good as were the crinkle cut fries. My friend enjoyed the Chocolate layered cake too. Overall it was a cool meal. Bartender was cool and accommodating. There was some decent music playing lightly in the background. Glad it wasn't blasting. So if you're in the mood for a burger try this spot out. If you're in the mood for a mimosa this is definitely a great spot for it. Enjoy your day!

    Popped into this burger spot on a Saturday around brunch time and didn't have to wait for a table. The restaurant itself is quite spacious - we sat a booth which was very comfy and conducive to conversation. In terms of the menu, there was something for everyone - it seemed to be a mix of burgers and some Asian-inspired influence (sushi??). I got the katsu burger which had a piece of chicken katsu, kimchi, and a great slightly spicy sauce. I do wish it had come with fries or chips, though.

    The wait staff is absolutely amazing. ask for Alberto! He's such an amazing individual and was so helpful. This was my first time here along with my friend and we LOVED it here! The food is BEYOND AMAZING. It is a little on the $$ end as you buy multiple items however everything is fresh and you can taste the quality. The restaurant is perfectly lit and has outdoor seating as well.

    Amazing vibes and food! We got a lunch reservation and I was surprised at how busy the restaurant…read morestill was. Service was a bit slow but not an issue. The waiter was really nice. I ordered the non-alcoholic ginger drink, spicy rigatoni pasta and the truffles pasta and Monkey Bread. Everything was so light and fluffy. None of the food felt heavy or greasy. Would definitely come here again!

    Made a plan to reserve a table 21 days previous to when we would be in the city - and was able to…read morespike one. There is currently construction and scaffolding in front of the place, but you'll see signage where to go at the opening of the scaffolding. We walked in, past the bar and checked in. We were seated within 5 minutes. I ordered a bourbon old-fashioned and we ordered crab rangoon as a starter. There were a lot of them and the sweet chili sauce was great. For my entree, I ordered the vodka rigatoni and a side of buttered broccoli. The vodka rigatoni was really good - liked the flavor and a decent size of pasta. The broccoli was really good for some reason to me. Also tried the truffle mac and cheese which was incredibly rich and tasted great. As a dessert, we had the chocolate pie which was dense, rich, and topped with a huge dollop of whipped topping. I really liked the atmosphere of the place, loud roaring 20s style with jazz playing. Plus I kept finding myself checking out the mural on the wall. Try it for yourself - but worth the fight to get a table.
