    Small Beef Fat Fries and Double Charburger
    Josh B.

    A man's gotta know his limitations and I can't improve on the reviews describing the cuisine as better versions of The Whopper and McDonald's fries. The burger might even be better than Big Kahuna Burger. The service is quick and friendly. The menu is concise. No kale salads. Did you see the repellent discourse about the NY Times Doordash article? So many smug weirdos bragging about their culinary expertise while failing to understand basic math. I mention this because, while Burgerhead might be pricier than you'd expect, most things are.

    I was in the area past midnight looking for a decent bite and the group I was with was excited to chow down on some late night burgers. I don't eat red meat but saw an Impossible burger option on their menu online so agreed to take our group there. Single patty burgers were all under 10 bucks, which is exactly what you want from a no frills burger spot. The place was only half full and totally clean. I was delighted to see a few chicken options, chargrilled or fried, which is much healthier than an Impossible patty, which makes every burp taste like chemicals. The burgers came out quickly and were pretty tasty. Perhaps not the best among its competitors but totally solid, and the fries taste like the ones from McDonald's-- the highest compliment in the fry world. Appreciate that their kitchen stays open until 2am and that the staff was really helpful.

    I ordered a double cheeseburger and onion rings. I ordered a double since I'm used to most places making smash burgers now. Here you could probably do without a double. Here you're getting a classic burger. Well cooked and juicy. Fries didn't look like anything special so I went with onion rings instead. I was happy with my decision.

    Burgerhead was a nice surprise! The fries were super crispy and really tasty- definitely the highlight of my meal. The burger itself was pretty good too, but next time I'll make sure to ask for it well done, I know people eat it with a slight pink in it but I just can't. I did eat it though. lol! Also has a refrigerator with plenty of refreshment options, and there are seats available if you want to dine in, which is convenient. Overall, solid place for a quick bite! The atmosphere itself looked pretty decent to me. Nice and clean. And the service was great. I will be back tho for my cheeseburger well done and a milkshake. I definitely want to try their milkshake. If you can make a tasty milkshake, you already won my heart.

    Its hard to find a char grilled burger in a sea of smash burgers. Char grilled fans are an oppressed minority in the burger world today. And thankfully we have a refuge at Burgerhead. The Double Char Burger is delightful, tasty, balanced and perfectly cooked. And this place is conveniently across the street from the West 4 subway stop in Manhattan. Join our cause.

    A nice & small burger joint in the west village! A quick grab and go type of ambiance. Menu is kinda small and quick to the point. Burgers here are charred and not smashed, it gave it a nice authentic backyard summer bbq taste. Fries were really good and were very similar to McDonald fries. Only issue I had with the burger was it was drowned in sauce so I couldn't really taste the patty. Would recommend as a good spot for a quick bite after some drinks.

    My friend has been talking about this burger spot and how they're seed oil free for a while so I decided to check it out. The atmosphere is nice. There's a modern/nostalgic burger spot vibe here. Plus they have a decent amount of seating. The menu is seed oil free. Meaning they use healthier oil options. With a good variety of options. I ordered the beef fat fries and double patty charburger. The fries were freshly made and not too much salt on top. You could add ketchup but they're pretty good on its own. You get 2 decent sized patties on the char burger. They were cooked just right. With veggies, cheese, and sauce. This is a well put together burger I just wish it had more flavor to the patty personally. The burger pairs well with the fries too. The fries are amazing. Think McDonald's but cleaner. Plus everything was light on the stomach surprisingly. Service here is good and wait wasn't too long. I came back another time and brought a friend. Same feelings. The burgers don't make you feel all sluggish and tired. I feel well fed and could go for another one lol.

    A friend and I grabbed some food at Burgerhead - it was overall a good experience! - Staff was helpful and friendly - Onion rings were among my favorite in the city - Burger was decent, though they have a lot of tough competition in the area - Fried chicken sandwich also decent, patty was roughly the size I assumed it would be - Fries were shoestring shaped, crispy and salty (in a good way) - A few tables in the front and then a larger table in the back if you're eating in store but seems they have a solid takeout operation too While not my favorite burger spot, I still enjoyed my meal here!

    I stopped in to Burgerhead for a late snack. I ordered an Envy Burger and some Onion Rings. My Burger was tasty, but the Onion Rings were not. $22.46 for a Burger, Onion Rings, and a soda. Thank U next!

    Finally checked out burgerhead and got a chance to try to a single burger. The store interior was welcoming and service was attentive and quick. Overall a great burger, but nothing standing out. I'd definitely have burger again if the occasion presented itself.

    Fast casual done right. Burgerhead is worth checking out for a quick bite. I wasn't expecting anything revolutionary, but I really enjoyed their chardog. I recommend ordering it with ketchup, mustard, and onions. Every bite was delicious. Hot take, hot dogs are underrated.

    After a looong day walking in the city, these fries delivered us from hanger. They were fantastic. I think they were $4.75 pre-tax/tip per fry serving. Two servings shown in the photo.

    I wouldn't compare it to In n Out at all since there's none in NYC lol. There's so many 7th Street burgers that I'd compare it to that instead. I prefer this burger, it's a LOT less oily and had tomatoes and pickles and lettuce. It's a great classic burger! There was a huge group when I was there literally just screaming at each other from two feet away lol so it was loud but I think normally it would be a pretty chill place to eat. Good music! The service is pretty good - and fast! You can see them making your food right there.

    Fries were soggy and chicken really isn't good and it's salty. The breading has no flavor and it's soggy.

This is a must if you're in Manhattan. The line is narrow going in and out, and you're literally rubbing shoulders with the opposite line -- that's how tight the space is. You make your way to the front, order, and within moments your food is ready. Pro move -- cross the street, grab a bench at the park, and dig in. The char siu is a standout -- ask for slightly fatty pieces for the best flavor and tenderness. Portions are piled high over white rice with steamed cabbage. The roast pork is just as good -- crispy crackling skin with juicy, succulent meat. Great value overall, but be aware it's cash only. Overall, an iconic, no-frills spot delivering big flavor and even bigger portions -- absolutely worth it. Saluti.

Second fav was prob the roast pork (cha siu), sweet and tender. Third was the duck; ive had better but pretty good for the price. It's kinda hit or miss depending on what the guy cuts you, but I got half to be meaty while the other half was more boney. The chicken is actually similar to hawaiian bbq chicken, it has a sweet soysauce and crispy skin which was good. There's only 1 person who takes your order and cuts the meat, so wait time is pretty long. Cash only!

When you walk in, the menu is clearly visible above the register and they have burritos, quesadillas, and much more. The fam has always hyped the burritos, so I wasn't really looking to try anything else for my first time. I was on the fence between the chicken ranchero and seitan burrito. 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. I'm glad I finally got to try and I would come back. The closest thing that I normally go to is the Nintendo store. I could definitely make it happen again.

And judging from the never ending flow of delivery orders churning out of their kitchen, not to mention every seat in the house packed on a Saturday afternoon, sounds like other people think so too. I've now been here twice to try various things on their menu, and while the Nashville hot chicken sandwich is indeed delicious, it's the dhamaka fries that do it for me. The tikka sauce, mint chutney, pickles, cole slaw AND fried chicken make this the stuff of drunchies dreams. On another visit, I really indulged with a fried chicken sandwich between two pieces of waffles. They even provide syrup to dunk this monster into. Something like this makes me feel too rapacious, so I think I'll stick to the maple wings or something in the future. The staff is a delight, so you can't get mad at them even when the food takes a while to come out. I highly recommend ordering a milkshake while you're here too-- the rose flavor is the best.

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.

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.
