    I wanted something quick and this looked good. It's a small place right near the Canal St. subway station off the E line. There's some seating inside and outside. After ordering a single smash burger with an egg, I didn't have to wait long for my order to arrive. The food was slightly disappointing in my opinion. The taste wasn't bad. The bun was nicely toasted and the grilled onions were sweet. The meat was thin and dry. The egg wasn't runny but after thinking about it, I realized the menu never specified if it was runny or not. I had just assumed. The cheese melted well and added extra flavor. The special sauce tasted similar to thousand island dressing. Ultimately, it tasted like a better Big Mac from MacDonalds. I was starving so it was good but objectively it wasn't the best burger I've ever had.

    (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

    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.

    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.

    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
    K. G.

    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!

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

    Monkey Bar - Smoked Whitefish Caesar (~$28)

    Monkey Bar

    4.3(475 reviews)

    Getting a reservation here is very hard. One just popped up in my Resy app for lunch though, so I…read morewent for it. It was my first time here although, it has been around for ages. The front part where you first walk in is the bar area with some tables. This restaurant is on the darker side and brings you back in time. Once you walk in further that is where the main dinning room is. This is also on the darker side as you can maybe tell by my photos. The wall paper and art around the restaurant is cool and there are some monkey statues around the restaurant. I was seated in a corner table in a booth area that seemed to be for at least 2-3 people. I thought for sure they would seat me at the bar area. I had a wonderful waitress whose name I think was Taylor but I could be wrong. I ordered the Monkey bread to start off with. It's a very buttery bread with truffle and parm cheese on top. I have alot of allergies and I was searching online if I could even have truffles as I have a nut allergy. So, I asked the waitress and she said she had never heard this. But, she came back to me and told me that White truffle grows near or like over where Almonds grow from but that, they don't use white truffle so I was all good. Well, this was super nice of her to check for me. I had no idea she was going to do this. She said the restaurant has strict protocols when it comes to food allergies. I then got for my main dish the double cheese burger with onions and pickles. To drink I had the cucumber martini. WOW everything was pretty darn good!! I passed on dessert. If you get a chance or a reservation pops up in your resy to go, even if it is for lunch..I highly say go for it.

    From the moment we sat down, the service set the tone for the entire experience. Our server was…read moreincredibly warm, upbeat, and full of energy--one of those people who genuinely elevates a meal. I only wish I could remember her name because she deserves the recognition. We started with drinks, and mine ended up being a surprise standout. I ordered the coconut margarita, slightly hesitant since I'm not usually a margarita fan--but it completely won me over. It struck a perfect balance and leaned just enough into the coconut to make it feel unique without being overpowering. My sister-in-law, who's pregnant, had a non-alcoholic Ritual margarita and loved it, noting how convincingly it mimicked the real thing. Since we were sharing, we got to try a good mix of the menu. The monkey bread came first--definitely a splurge at $34, but it's one of those fun, indulgent starters that's worth ordering at least once. While I wouldn't call it the best bread I've ever had, I also wouldn't change anything about it. The crab rangoon was another highlight. Having it made with real crab made a noticeable difference, and the dipping sauces complemented it really well. It felt like a more elevated take on something familiar. For mains, the French dip was a hit. The meat was incredibly tender, the bread had that ideal crusty exterior, and the au jus was packed with flavor--I was very glad I ordered extra. It pulled the whole dish together. We also tried the smoked whitefish Caesar, which was the only dish that didn't quite land for me. It was a well-made, fresh salad, but the smoked fish flavor was a bit overpowering and took over the balance of the dish. Even though we were too full for dessert, the restaurant surprised us with a scoop of strawberry ice cream with chocolate sauce to celebrate my sister-in-law's babymoon. It ended up being one of the most memorable bites of the meal--we're still talking about how good that ice cream was. We arrived right at 11:45, and by the time we left, the place was absolutely buzzing. It's clearly a popular spot, and for good reason. Between the lively atmosphere, strong service, and well-executed food, I'd highly recommend making a reservation if you can.
