    #1: BBD smash
    Jessica K.

    After standing on the world's worst pop-up line for four hours, my aching body dragged itself in front of this spot and I decided to check it out. Got the #1 combo with fries. Food was made to order but came out quickly. This smash HIT! Thin, crispy edges, juicy, flavorful, topped with sauce, pickles, onion, lettuce, tomatoes. I soon felt myself coming back to life; my stomach and taste buds were very happy. The menu says "crispy fries" and they aren't joking. They came out boiling hot and you could probably hear the crunch next door. Place was clean, not busy, so it was a nice break from the chaos of Chinatown. Definitely up there in contenders of Best Smashburger, and very excited to have randomly stumbled upon this place and decided to try.

    If you're craving burgers and are in Chinatown, this is the perfect spot to visit. They had a pretty affordable menu with the typical burger spot fare like burgers, fries, ice cream, and soda. They also had discounted mini burgers in the late afternoon and mini sliders for about five bucks which is totally a steal. I got the Signature BBD burger and my brother tried their fried chicken burger. For the side we got fries and instead of a drink we were able to substitute it for a scoop of cookies and cream ice cream which is pretty nice. We also had an order of popcorn chicken. The staff brought our food out to us and also brought along a bottle of ketchup. The cookies and cream ice cream was very creamy and a bit solid so the handle of the spoon it came with kept bending since the ice cream was a bit on the frozen side. All the food is freshly made so everything was piping hot. The popcorn chicken was very crunchy and the batter was seasoned well though I wish they had their signature sauce on the side for dipping. The fries were super crispy. The signature burger was absolutely stuffed with 2 smashed patties, shredded lettuce (easier to eat), slices of tomatoes and diced onions (there were also pickles but I didn't add them to my burger) and all drenched in their signature BBD sauce. It was a really solid burger for $10 and we left feeling super full after finishing all of our food.

    Just a little update since I have tried more things since the last review. I love their sweet and spicy chick but it became a little overwhelming for me during my pregnancy so I had to stay away for a while. The popcorn chicken was surprisingly good. Well seasoned and I find the pieces to be a little bit bigger than most places. I love their double-fried fries. We have been ordering the sour cream and onion one lately. We recently tried their truffle fries. The flavor is good but it is way too salty. We tried their chicken wings. I got the regular one while my coworker got the spicy one. The spicy one was not spicy, it was just sprinkled on and barely there. The wings were well marinated and well fried but both were insanely salty. It was a good thing that I did not get additional cheese sauce for it. I think it would kill me. After having the wings with truffle fries, it felt like we had all the moisture from our body sucked out and kept drinking water. Probably would not get the wings and truffle fries again. But I would most definitely continue to order the burgers and chicken sandwiches.

    Whenever I'm in the mood for a chicken sandwich, I come here to order a chick burger and green tea milkshake. It's a small spot with a milk tea store in the front. The chicken is generously portioned and juicy. I wish the milkshake was a bit bigger, but it still always hits the spot. Service is relatively quick, so this is one of my go to places when I want a quality, simple meal.

    I was headed to get food somewhere else in a rush last Thursday and the sign outside stopped me dead in my tracks. Best burger in NYC- now that's how you advertise for your business. I was like wait best burger in nyc let me be the judge of that!! Anyway as you walk in there was a bubble tea spot like sharing the space on the right, table seating on the left and the burger ordering area, digital menu & kitchen in the back. They had many option but yet ANOTHER sign that said BBNYC. I said ok cheeseburger only the world no onions. They popped out this fat juicy bad boy that was hot and ready to eat! The only thing it was missing was that flame broiled smell but hey you can't get that everywhere. Spot on big fat juicy burger that I devoured on my walk to the esthetician. It was PERFECT. Not the best but definitely a must taste. 5/5 I highly recommend. The staff was pleasant, helpful, attentive and the place was very clean. Shared space set up works well for this place.

    Have had Burger By Day on my radar for a while now and finally had the excuse to try it! My partner and I shared the classic BBD along with a Spicy Chick sandwich and both exceeded expectations. The BBD was cooked perfectly, the edges of the patties perfectly crisp. The sauce it came with paired well with the meat and griddles onions. The spicy chick sandwich was ENORMOUS with a very hefty sized chicken patty, made spicy with a generous dusting of seasoning. Fries delightfully crisp.

    Great solid smash burger. It wasn't greasy and had a lot of greens. Burger was juicy. The sauce plus sweet pickles were a bit too sweet and was hoping for more salt to balance it out. Fries are crispy and without ketchup, tasted exactly like sour cream chips. With ketchup, tasted like a reg fry.

    this has got to be one of the best burgers Ive had in the city. I didn't get the point of smash burgers until here. the vibe is great. i had to shake chef's hand.

    My impression was the place was clean and seats and bathroom is available for this cite. There also a bubble tea spot in this establishment. It was my first time here and I went for the chick burger which is chicken thighs and BBD home sauce. The burger portion was big the burger was fresh but the sauce was like a powdered of spices on top which I did not Enjoy as much. The burger was fresh and it was my first time having it with chicken thighs although it was juicy I now know I prefer chicken breast. The fries were delicious very crispy and Oreo shake was also very yummy. I would probably try their regular beef burger next time.

    Quick service, great prices and the burgers are delish! Seasoned perfectly and the buns are super soft.

    Having always walked past this burger joint going to chinatown I always wondered if it was any good. Now, I don't have to wonder as I had the good fortune of craving burgers more than chinese food during one of my visits. Sharing the same store front as I'milky, Burger By Day is the second store located more inside. This burger was fresh, crisp, with a fluffy bun and fresh veggies. It was a really good burger that I'd recommend everyone who's curious to try. The fries were perfectly crispy with a nice crunch. I also tried their green tea milk shake and it was soo good! With a strong green tea flavor (without being overwhelming) it made a really good milkshake. I'd definitely come back to this place if I'm craving a burger as it was top notch.

    Keepin it real out here in Chinatown Great spot right by the station and it's inside the same store as a bubble tea, talk about 1 stop shop. I usually go for Chinese / Viet food in Chinatown but occasionally we do crave burger type food. It's definitely not typical fast food, made fresh all around. Just a good vibe overall.

    Cheese burger combo

    Great places for burgers and fries in the heart of Chinatown. Very clean and fast services. Will repeat this business.

    Pickles & Onions.

    Fat Boy... whoever you are... thank you!!!…read more If you have not heard about Fat Boy Burger...Go get you a Fat Boy Burger. I'm serious. I was craving a burger one night. I had me a nice, chill evening, a little buzz going, and I wanted a good burger. The place I originally wanted was closing, and I wasn't trying to go anywhere, so I hopped on DoorDash. I was about to change my whole order until Fat Boy Burger popped up. I looked at it and thought, "You know what... that looks good." Baby...Best decision I made that night. They had a combo deal going, so I ordered the Fat Boy Burger Combo with onion rings instead of fries, and of course I had to get the Cinnamon Toast Crunch milkshake. When I tell you... I don't know who Fat Boy is. I don't know how they thought of this. But baby...I love everything you do. I just need you to know that. Let's start with the onion rings. PERFECTION!!!! Perfectly fried. Nice and crispy, but not overly crispy. The onions stayed together when you bit into them, they weren't soggy, and that first crunch...Yeah. That's exactly what an onion ring is supposed to be. Now the burger...That bun. That sauce. Oh. My. God. The burger was juicy without grease running down my hands. Everything stayed together, every bite was balanced, and I still don't know what's in that sauce, but whatever it is...Don't change it. I was literally sitting in my house doing the little food dance. Y'all know the one. Just rocking back and forth because every bite is making you happier than the last. And that Cinnamon Toast Crunch milkshake? Gone. It was so good. The next time I ordered, I got one of their barbecue burgers, onion rings again (because why mess with perfection?), and a Fruity Pebbles milkshake. Same experience. Everything was hot. Nothing was soggy. The burger looked exactly like the pictures. Honestly, if you looked at the photos, you'd think I had eaten inside the restaurant instead of getting it delivered. That's how well everything was packaged. You can tell they actually care about what they're putting out. They care about the food. They care about the ingredients. They care about the presentation. And they care that you enjoy what you ordered. Because trust me... I enjoyed every single bite. Shout-out to Fat Boy Burger. Just know... Y'all will probably be seeing another order from me very, very soon.

This time at the Times Square location after seeing Oh! Mary. Classic cheese smashburgers paired with Mexican Cokes. It's easily one of the better smashburgers around--juicy patty, delicious sauce, grilled onions, pickles and a soft bun. The burgers are on the smaller side (not White Castle small, but my daughter usually eats two!), but at $6.50 for a single patty cheeseburger, it's a OK value. Don't skip the fries--they are crispy, delicious, and a generous portion for the price. Quick, easy, and fast! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and easygoing. One small snag at this location. My daughter requested, "no pickles." There were pickles in her burger. No biggie. She simply took them out and gave them to me. This location's supervisor overheard us. He apologized. We told him it was ok. No big deal. He didn't accept that. While we appreciated his standards, we felt put on the spot as much as his crew did. We felt bad for the cashier and made sure we told him we were sorry for how things went down. None of it was needed nor justified. Hence, the 4 out of 5 stars! Fast-casual vibe that feels a bit more low-key than standard fast-food joints. At this location there's a few booths, but they are usually occupied. We had to wait a few minutes until people left to get seats. 7th Street always hits!

Since I had never had the latter before, I have to give it a try. I liked that there was an option for a spinach tortilla, I went with that. It was ready in about 10 minutes, and while it is indeed a take out spot, no one else was sitting inside, so we were able to occupy the four seats that were there. The burrito was humongous. I should have taken a picture of it, but I was so hungry and ready to dive in I just didn't. It was delicious. We all shared chips and a hefty amount of red salsa, that was surprisingly spicy. What a meal! We were lucky to just beat a big crowd of people. Folks were standing around waiting and pretty much the entire standing area of the little place to get orders.
