Brindle Room 647 East 11th. St. New York, NY 10009 Sebastian Burger & Fries As I was passing by, I spotted their sidewalk billboard, which mentioned Guy Fieri highly praising their burgers. I was instantly convinced right then and there to give this bar a try! This burger was topped with American cheese and caramelized onions on a soft bun. The medium cooked patty is made with prime aged beef. As a bonus, french fries are also included with the burger. Guy Fieri was definitely right about this perfectly compacted sandwich that I cleared down to the last bite.   #brindleroom #sebastianburger #sebastianburgerandfries #brindleroomnyc #guyfieri #eastvillage read more

I came here with my friend for dinner on a Friday night. We got there around 6:30pm and didn't have to wait for a table. I was shocked! We both ordered beers and burgers. The burgers by default are cooked medium-rare and are served with American cheese and carmelized onions. It was very flavorful and juicy. All-in-all an excellent burger! The fries were also great; crispy on the outside and light and pillowy on the inside. The restaurant was so cozy and comfortable. I also loved the playlist (Talking Heads, Joy Division, the Police, etc.). I would come back in a heartbeat. read more

Hailed as a top NYC burger, Brindle Room has been on my burger list for a while - finally got to try it! We expected it to be super busy on a Saturday afternoon, but upon walking in, it was empty! Service was solid and drinks well mixed. Flavor of the meat was good too. Definitely enjoyed the burger, would try another brunch menu next time too (they had a lot of good looking options). read more

Brindle Room has long been one of my favorite burger spots in the city. It had been years since my last visit, and I'm happy to report the burger is still excellent, perfectly seasoned, with sautéed onions that make it truly stand out. It's a small space with laid back vibes. Highly recommend if you're craving a great burger downtown. read more

Not enough good things can be said about this east village institution. Brindle Room's menu is kept simple because when you do a burger so right, why do anything else. I'm salivating once again just thinking of it. This cozy laid back joint is perfect for a bite and cocktail. A great place to relax. read more

I was dragged here and told that it was the "best burger in town". Spoiler alert, it's not really the best burger in town. The server was super sweet, but she was the only person serving the entire restaurant. I felt bad for her because it got really busy and she was handling the bar and all the food by herself. It is small inside, but there were easily 20-30 people. This place has a serving window between the kitchen and the dining area. I would definitely suggest that they change the way they operate and just have a bartender operate the bar and people can go up and get their own orders. Unnecessary to make that girl do all that work alone. Could have been a one off - but we were a party of 5, made a reservation and still waited 1.5 hours for a table because the booth seating was all taken by 2 person groups. I felt bad because we took up space in the bar area waiting for our table. Overall, pretty silly experience. read more

One of the best burgers I've ever had. Incredible service, cozy atmosphere, and a simple, easy burger that just blew my expectations out of the water. Can't wait to go back read more

Brindle Room really impressed me. The burger was great--super juicy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. I also loved the concise menu; it makes choosing so easy without compromising quality. The atmosphere is a big plus too: warm, lively, and inviting, making it a great spot to sit back and enjoy a fantastic meal. Left very impressed and will definitely be back. read more

Had a wonderful date night at this cozy casual restaurant in the East village. Service and staff were kind and friendly. They have a full bar and made a delicious gin martini. Food menu is very small and the restaurant is known for its burger. See what we ordered below - Chopped salad: very small portion, but simple and refreshing. Don't necessarily think we would order again since it's a really small portion and nothing too special - Burger: Brindle Room is famous for its burger and it did not disappoint. Buttery, melt in your mouth patty cooked to perfection (medium rare) with melted cheese and grilled onions on a soft pillowy potato bun. Served with crispy thick cut fries and pickles. Think this is one of the best burgers we have had in the city. I'd been to this restaurant many years ago at its initial location. The new location on 11th and C is definitely a step up. Much better interior, creating a nice ambiance and providing for much more space. Shervin (think he was the manager) was great and very friendly. Made sure we had an amazing evening. read more

First timer. I would have gone to the Smith but wanted something new. Great burger, great mixed salad, the plastic wine glasses I could have done with out, but this Avenue C bar/pub/mini restaurant has high quality food at East Village prices. One person covered the room:maître d, bar tender and sat people down. She was terrific. Well done from a wine drinker who lives near 10th and 4th ave. I would come back. Millennial crowd vs this 65+ Baby Boomer, I loved it. read more

Burger was good, above average but not the best. The problem was how filthy and rundown the interior is. We sat in a booth, a the little wall ledge next to booth had a heavy layer of grease and dust. I ran my napkin over a few inches of the ledge- see napkin pic. It was almost hard to sit inside because the was so many flies, they were hard to ignore. Windows were filthy and pile of junk by bathroom. I'm surprised for a place that seems to be well liked it's not taken care of- dirty is just unacceptable. read more

One of the better regular burgers (not smash burger) I've had in the city. I really think that there should be different classifications for smash burgers and just a great standard burger. Same goes for thin crust to regular crust pizza, but I've gone array. Back to the Brindle Room - Just make sure if you like your burger medium rare to emphasize it because they tend to cook everything medium to medium well. Other than that - what else could you ask for? Great little intimate spot with a small but comfortable bar and elevated food. We only got the Sebastian burger with the fried mushrooms and fries and everything was excellent. read more

The Brindle Room is a small restaurant in the East Village with great burgers and a full bar. The menu is limited, but it covers all the bases (burgers, steak, fish, chicken). This is one of the best burger spots in the city, but the staff is the star of the show. The staff is friendly, and the service is excellent. Highly recommend. read more

Delicious sides and drinks. The Brussels sprouts were so good, even without the tahini sauce it came with. Bacon wrapped dates were the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and even better than ones I have previously had at Boqueria and Socarrat. However, I was underwhelmed by the burger, the main drawback being that it needed more seasoning. Onions and bacon were good, but burger may be better with some kind of sauce and cheddar instead of American. One waitress when we were there, with four tables or so occupied. Also not really feeling the paper folding menus. Would come back to try the steak and other apps. read more

Food: 10/10, highly recommend. My boyfriend and I ordered the Sebastian burger and fries, medium and medium rare. Our burgers were juicy and cooked perfectly. The fries were my favorite part: crispy golden brown, with a nice bite and mouth feel, not oily at all. Service: Fast, friendly, efficient Ambiance: Relaxed, dimly lit, and low-key vibes for a chill Saturday date night read more

Don't write these often but the burger was so good went with friends they raved about it I was sceptical but blown away!

Today we went to Brindle Room for the second time in 8 days. I cannot recommend it enough. The first time we went we sat at the bar on a Saturday and enjoyed DELICIOUS and VERY REASONABLY priced cocktails. The "Go" is served ICE COLD and is so good if you like espresso martinis. Today we went for brunch and it was empty? Are you kidding me? If you don't want to wait in line for a BEC or a burger you should try this spot instead. All the sauces here are really good their hot sauce, the sauce on the BEC, and their garlic aioli. TLDR: If you want a good burger, great cocktails, and a cozy vibe please try this spot. read more

What a great find. Friends took me here for brunch. The space is friendly and rustic. Not fancy but comfortable like sinking into a sofa. Our server was Jake who professional and personable. We started with the pickle chips and Brussels sprouts both were fantastic. I wish I had pictures but we ate them so quickly I forgot. The menu is a little small but I will always defer to a smaller menu executed well over a massive mediocre menu. I had the French dip and it was massive and delicious. I normally skip the au jus as I find them a little bland. This one was delicious and robust. Definitely worth the journey from midtown. I will be back. read more

Brindle Room - French Dip with French Fries - Bars Near Me - New York, New York

I went to Brindle Room a couple years ago before this new location and loved it. We went to visit this place on a Saturday night and were able to call in with a reservation just in case as well. I personally loved the spaghetti pomodoro and the espresso martini, but we also got their steakhouse burger which their known for and I just don't think it lived up to the expectations from when I last had it. Our waiter was nice and we loved how much more bigger it is than the old one. It's unfortunate that I probably won't be coming back for the burger and will be getting the pasta or something else from the menu if I'm ever in the area again. read more

5 Stars to a lovely lady named Tiavonni and the nice bartender at The Brindle Room. I came rushing in asking for some Juniors Cheesecake for my hubby and let them know I had a flight Boarding. So you Ms Tiavonni rushed back and made sure the two slices were packed properly for the flight and added napkins and spoons. Thank you both for saving the day! The 2 slices made it across to the West Coast just fine! read more

I met some friends and we all got the burger and fries. The burger felt a little small (6 oz) but the fries were delicious. This is by no means the best burger in the city, but it is a pretty darn good one. I would not rush back here, only because of the abundance of appealing restaurant burgers in NYC that I have yet to try. read more

Came here on a Saturday for a party of 2 at 5pm. The place was empty! The ambiance was cozy and the service was fantastic. We ordered the crispy Brussels sprouts for appetizer and 2 burgers (cooked medium rare). The brussels sprouts were perfectly cooked. They had a good crispiness and sweetness to them. My burger was too rare for my taste so I asked them to please cook it medium. The staff was very accommodating and switched my burger immediately with no problem. The burger was pretty simple with cheese, onion (which tasted almost like an onion jam) and pickles. The meat was cooked nicely when cooked medium with a healthy amount of pink. The french fries were really tasty. They were skin on steak fries style and had a perfect crispiness and saltiness. Overall, it was a great dining experience with good food. Would definitely come back. read more

delicious blue cheese burger and salmon entree!! The service was excellent and so was the vibes. The Brussels sprouts were a large portion with a dipping sauce. Definitely will be coming back read more

$16 Shirley Temple. Come on. After we got our check, we asked how much a sprite would be, and our server said $3. Come on. We came for the steak frites and "best" burger based on reviews, but our 2 non-alcoholic drinks cost almost as much as the steak frites. So not worth it. read more

My husband and I went to the Brindle room after seeing it on the food Network on triple D's with Guy Fiori. We are always searching for the best burger, and this one was worth the travel from Long Island to the east side. It looks so simple but taste so flavorful. read more

Missed this place and so happy it opened up again. My roomates and I used to get delivery from them everytime and glad we finally went to dine-in. Small space where Virginia's used to be. Appetizers were on point and the drinks were great to start with. Then came the burger and it seems like it even got better than last time with the patty being thicker now. Was very juicy with the caramelized onions and the melted cheese. Bolognes was also a hit. Service was great and attentive. Fantastic date night vibes read more

BEST BURGER IN NYC Would give it 10 stars if I could. Used to be obsessed with this spot pre-COVID and would order almost every weekend, and then was completely devastated when they shuttered. Well folks, they are back and better than ever. The burger is indescribably good, full of flavor and panache. It comes with cheese and caramelized onions on it, and pickles on the side. Put the pickles on the burger but otherwise don't change it; don't add bacon, don't add sauce, just trust Brindle Room to do things right. Will be coming back every weekend forever, period. read more

Came here at 7pm on a Thursday and we were a little concerned because the Italian place next store was soooo busy and this place was empty, but we decided to stick with it. Thank god we did! The bacon wrapped dates were to die for and my boyfriend loved his burger. The fries were some of the best either of us have ever had - perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. read more

The best and most consistent burger in the City. I've seen a lot of reviews say they weren't sure about this place because it looked empty. A few things to note here, they moved to a larger size dining room, but also, they were closed for much of covid and most people don't realize it re-opened. Pre-covid this was actually a difficult place to get a seat at consistently. I have no doubt they'll be super busy yet again, but until then, enjoy the no wait times for a table and the food. It really is fantastic and very affordable. You will not be disappointed. read more

Finally tried Brindle Room and wow... that burger really is as good as everyone says. The place itself feels chill, drinks were solid, and service was quick & easy. I went on a Sunday night for trivia and the trivia host was an absolute legend - fun, engaging, and kept the whole place laughing. Definitely going back! read more

We went back to Brindle Room for the first time in many years and they still have it. It was a crisp fall Saturday and the village was absolutely packed with Halloween parade goers. The location is new from our last visit - still small and even cramped but bright and airy. They also have outdoor seating. Service was good. We went with the burgers which were very good. Still a little on the petite side but for me that's perfect. Beer selection still adequate. We also tried their kale salad which was perfectly dressed and had nice bits of apple and cheese. Brindle Room was nice to hold our reservation when we were hopelessly late. read more

One of the the best burgers in the city and I am a huge burger fan! If you like an amazing juicy burger you are in the right place! Did I mention the fries are a it is this world. If you a chocolate fan, don't miss out on the chocolate moose. The service was wonderful shout out to Eric. The owner Jeremy has something very special. Must try! read more

made a reservation but tbh you don't even need one. even though i had a reservation i was seated at the bar which was fine i guess it was right by the kitchen so all i heard was clinking and clanking . i had the sebastian burger fried pickles and the espresso martini . the espresso martini was good you couldn't taste the alcohol but it wasn't the best . the burger was alright also not the best but not bad , there is no bottle of ketchup nearby , they just give you some ketchup in a sauce cup. the fried pickles were ok not the best at all . they had an interesting aftertaste but i'm not sure what it was but i've had better fried pickles elsewhere . overall i'd rate it a solid 6/10 i was pretty full at the end and i would've preferred to be actually seated . would i go here again ? like maybe but it's not a place i'm recommending it's just there. read more

Best burger ever! Came here because I saw that this place had one of the best burgers in NYC. The beef is actually dry aged and tastes so good along with the American cheese melting in your mouth. There's no lettuce or tomatoes or any other condiments to go with the burger. Fries are pretty good too. Will come here next time. read more

I don't know if this hurts my street cred, but I saw this restaurant on an old rerun of diners, drive-ins and dives & found their burger making process impressive.

The Brindle Room has a really cool vibe. Country music playing, kind of speakeasy atmosphere. Best tasting burger I've ever had.

Sweet service, sweet spot. read more
