    Onion Rings. 4 stars.  Insta/Beli/TikTok: @amei_eats
    Alex M.

    (Overall: C) - I found Black Burger to be quite middle of the road. I've definitely had far worse burgers before, but their food does enumerate a number of culinary flaws that, if fixed, could be much more enjoyable. (Onion Rings: B) - This appetizer was quite enjoyable as it is a large portion that is freshly fried and piping hot, which pairs well with their barbeque sauce. One criticism is that the grease control could be improved. (Pineapple Teriyaki Burger: F) - The first time I had this burger, it was better, but this time there just appeared to be techical flaws after another. First, the patties were overcooked and dry. It's evident that the grill is too hot as the buns are burnt black. Then, the teriyaki sauce is too thin as the wrapping builds a pocket of liquid waiting to explode and make a mess everywhere. That being said, the concept of pineapple, bacon, and some fresh vegetable is a good one to create infuse some sweetness into the burger. -- Food: E Presentation: E Price: E Atmosphere: E Service: E Menu: E Overall: +0 C Insta/Beli/TikTok: @amei_eats

    Hawaiian burger
    Ebony L.

    Needed something good to eat late-night and found this. Had the Hawaiian burger, and it was cooked very well. The ratio of fries to burger was excessive, but the fries were seasoned very well. The general sitting area was very tight and could use a good wipe down. If you're in the in the area, it's definitely worth stopping by.

    Smash burger and curly fries
    Barbara S.

    Went here after I had an appointment around the area. To be honest I looked at the menu and reviews before ordering and decided to finally go with the smash burger double. The space is kind of tiny so it would be difficult to sit and eat here. I went with the combo which included curly fries and a small drink. Personally, the burger was OK. I've had better. It did not really feel juicy to me or tender. The fries were good and crispy. Overall not a bad option.

    What a solid spot for late night delivery. The curly fries are yum and the burger is juicy and hits the spot. I am in love with the vanilla milkshake. Def recommend this spot.

    The Black Burger and Curly Fries

    I got the Black burger and curly fries. Yummy! Even better? This place has Coke Zero which solidified its 5 star rating. Friendly and quick service. Will be back next time I'm in the area.

    Glad this place exists for when I have a hankering for a good burger. Burgers are made to order juicy goodness; curly fries are crispy crunchy bringers of joy; service is friendly and quick. Limited seating indoors, a bit of seating outdoors; no frills burger joint for a solid burger. Their slogan is true: once you go black, you never go back! I'll be back!

    Swiss Burger with an egg and avocado
    Sarah R.

    Ordered delivery for lunch at the office. Food came quick and properly labeled (a bunch of us got different things). I got the Swiss burger with an extra patty, then added an egg and avocado. My coworkers and I all loved our meals. The patty itself was juicy and well-seasoned. Will be ordering again!

    Bacon Black Burger

    My go-to burger joint when I'm at work. While a little pricey, (I paid about $35 for two combos), it is hands down one of the best burgers in the area. Curly fries are crispy and flavorful. Limited seating but it wasn't a problem.

    curly fries: yummm

    Great burger spot! Came here for a quick bite with a friend and got the Swiss Burger with some Curly Fries. Both the burger and fries were great! The two guys working the front were really funny and were really generous with the portion of fries they gave us. Glad I got to try this place out!

    Normally if I want a burger and also save a few bucks, I'll go to a McDonald's. However after running the NYC Half Marathon earlier in the day, I decided to mix things up and check out Black Burger since it was located really close to where I was staying. It was a really small place. A little more than half of the restaurant was the kitchen. On the customer side of the counter there were some counter spots for you to eat your burger, but not enough for more than a few people. I wasn't feeling particularly hungry, so when it was my turn, I ordered just their Black Burger with cheese, cooked medium without any sides. I got the burger with their standard ingredients... lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, and house sauce. Keep in mind that they'll give you a discount if pay with cash. I hardly ever carry cash these days, so plastic it is! Once my order was up, I took it back to my room to eat. The single patty burger didn't look very impressive, but it did taste good. Also the bun didn't disintegrate while I was eating it. If I do come back here, I'll probably get a double cheeseburger or one of their specialty burgers.

    Great burger, good shake, fries look better than they are. As another reviewer said, the fries have too much batter.

We were thrilled to find two seats at the end of the bar when we arrived. As luck would have it, the two gentlemen next to us eventually left, allowing us to slide over and enjoy an even better view of the TV for the rest of the game. I started with a Tito's and club soda, but unfortunately, something seemed off--perhaps the club soda was flat. The drink just wasn't good. To their credit, the bartender took it back without hesitation and was very accommodating. I then ordered a Negroni after the woman sitting next to us highly recommended it. I don't usually drink gin, but this cocktail was absolutely delicious and changed my mind. Since we were there for several hours, we shared an order of zucchini and eggplant chips and happily snacked on them throughout the game. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, with a nice mix of ages and people enjoying the evening. We made sure to leave our bartender a generous tip since we occupied our seats for the entire game. Even though the Knicks didn't pull out a win that night, we certainly didn't leave defeated. I'd happily return for another game, cocktail, and fun evening out. And maybe even get dinner there. Little did I know there was another big room in the ack once you past the restrooms. They were having a thriving business there!

We declined and left. Out of my whole entire trip this was the only restaurant that asked for more than the 20%. I found it rather odd. My review is based off the food itself.

He took the time to listen to our concerns and invited our group back so we could give their group another chance. While I still stand by how our initial experience made us feel, I also think it's important to acknowledge when a business owner responds with professionalism and genuinely works to rebuild trust. Our return visit was a completely different experience. I appreciate the way the owner handled the situation and his willingness to have an open conversation with us. It doesn't change what happened that first night, but it did change my impression of how much he cares about his guests and his business. I wanted my review to reflect that as well.

Two-part, proper settle, tight dome, no rushing it. That's rarer than it should be in Midtown where half the bars treat a stout like a lager. Whoever's behind the bar here has been trained or grew up around it. Food's better than a second-floor pub between 5th and 6th has any right to be. The JRB burger comes on a house-ground patty (they grind in-house, and you can tell, loose texture, actual seasoning), caramelized onions cooked down all the way, not just softened, good cheese pull. Fried pickles on the side had a crisp cornmeal shell and stayed crunchy under the burger juices, which never happens. Buttermilk chicken salad was the surprise. Chicken actually brined, crust stayed on, greens weren't an afterthought. Only real knock: music was loud. Not sports-bar loud, more like the bartender's playlist got away from him. Fine at the bar, harder at a table if you want to talk. Room's got real bones. Reclaimed barn wood, old rail track as a foot rest, that big 45-star flag on the wall. Been here almost 20 years and it's aged into itself. For the neighborhood the pricing's fair. Beats P.J. Clarke's on the burger, loses on quiet. Go for a beer and a burger, not a date.
