Went here with my hubby for a late night burger craving; and for being a burger joint, the burger was just ok. The patty was really thin and dry and not cooked as we requested, the fries were also flavorless and the portions are also surprisingly really small. Unfortunately it didnt hit the spot and there are better places around worth the money. read more

This place is literally amazing! Place is small and has little selection but that's also what's cool about the place. My husband and I love the classic burger, we'll share some fries and a shake; and you're good to go. It's just a cool little spot to hit up once in a blue if you're in the mood for a really good burger. Parking is sometimes difficult to find but if you go after work hours it should lighten up. With all the times we've been here, it's never been crazy packed where you can't find a seat. So for sure, check em out or their Instagram which is how I found them. read more

Ordered takeout from here and we got the chicken sandwich and bodega burger... both were amazing!!! The winner was the shake though... i ordered the jamlatte and WOW!!! Im afraid to try any other shake in fear that it wont be as good as the one i had one day i will, but for now i will indulge in my jamlatte obsession! Lol read more

1st Time was a charm. Bodega Burger hit the spot with a bunch of flavors during my quick lunch in the area!

Decent burger but fries were to salty. Had a regular shake chocolate which was ok not thick enough in texture. It's better than going to a fast chain burger joint. Would I go back probably not read more

My husband and I had this place for the first time last night, I got the original with fried effort, special sauce removed. Let me tell you, it was so good, tasted like a shack shack just more filling and with more toppings :) my husband got the chicken sandwich which he loved as well. I was not a fan of their garlic sauce though. We both got an Oreo shake (think it's called the black and white) whoa was it good, I loved the fried Oreo they had in there and the cookie. Definitely a must try place if you haven't already read more

My first time ever eating here and i was impressed with the taste of this burger, i had the bodega burger with a chocolate shake and i enjoyed every part of it. Will definitely be revisiting this place. read more

Ordered from them through UberEats and the burgers and fries we were received were amazinggggg. Burgers were both delicious and the order left us wishing we had ordered more. Definitely will stop by to try them out in person read more

This can give In-N-Out a run for their $$$. Simple menu, amazingly tasty! Pricier thang InO but stiff competition. read more

Jam Burger - Bodega Burger & Strawberry Shortcake Shake - Burgers Near Me - Garfield, New Jersey

Food was amazing good portions. Staff was very friendly music was good. Definitely will be back soon for another burger and shake.

Worst service i have ever had, if i could give 0 stars i would, i was waiting an hour for a burger and yet i was not going to get my burger. I cancelled the order. Meanwhile a couple that got their and food within' 15 minutes, they ordered the same thing as us. Worse server i have ever had, i asked if my burger i ordered was almost ready and she just said she told us it would take a while, how long could a burgee take. There was maybe a total of 10 orders that went out within the hour. Slowest service i could have ever gotten in my life. read more

"The worst burger I've ever eaten", muttered my friend Jabriel J. We decided to check this new place out after seeing an impressive rating on Yelp. The shakes looked amazing appearance wise but as anyone who's ever been to Black Tap Midtown knows, looks can be deceiving. We didn't try the shakes. Maybe they're great, maybe they're horrible (like Black Tap). We came for the BURGER, it's called Jam BURGER after all, not Jam Milkshake. Plus they're milkshakes are over $12, we wanted to perform a litmus test before making that kind of investment. First thing I notice is their beef patties are prepackaged, hmm I would think many of the burger spots worth going to assemble their own patties by hand. Place is also small, and the staff is lackadaisical. When a table was finally free, we walk over to it and sit but never did the staff wipe it down or clean it for us. Jabriel's fries also came out late because a jalepeno cheese popper exploded in their fryer so they had to clean it. We both went with the "Jam Burger" and man was it a disappointment of epic degree. Let me give you a run down of the ingredients: caramelized onions, jalapeno cheese popper, smoked jam. They don't go great together or are any good on their own. My cheese popper had NO CHEESE in it, unless they went ahead and used the one that had popped in the fryer?! The smoked jam has diced bacon in it, only there isn't enough bacon and the sweet jam overpowers it anyways. Lastly and most importantly, the prepackaged burger patty. My goodness was it dry and burnt to all hell. How on earth could anyone serve a burger cooked past well-done? Hell, it was great-done, amazing-done. I'm publishing this review at a perfect time. Jam Burger currently has 11 reviews and a 4.5 star rating, albeit based on some very short and uninformative 5 star reviews. In Jabriel's and my favorite burger spot, which serves the best burger we've eaten and at $2 less than the ones served/burnt here, hangs a letter from Yelp. In this letter, it states that "people love you on Yelp!" and congratulates them on their rating based off 12 reviews. Here's hoping this review prevents that letter from being sent here. read more

I don't normally review on this app but I look at reviews. I pass this place every day I finally stopped in. THE BODEGA BURGER!!!!! Are you kidding me?! Top 3 best burgers I've ever had and I'm a meat fanatic. read more

I got a veggie burger and it was delicious. Was really happy to see vegetarian options. Really great food and friendly staff.

First things first , this place is incredibly small. Like it's ridiculous. If you turn around 3 times tour across the street. Okay okay ... I'm exaggerating, but it's way too small to enjoy. Feels like eating here is a safety hazard all by itself. Besides that , the shakes were pretty good. You get a hefty amount. Staff was also friendly. My mom , husband , and myself all ate for $40 bucks. I only had a shake , but they both had shakes , Sandwhich was and fries. So the prices are pretty reasonable. Overall I wouldn't come back , but it was decent. read more

Stopped in for a family lunch because we had heard about this new burger joint. Well not new but new to me, I think they said they opened 10 months ago. So the place is super small with just 2 or 3 high tops and a long communal high top. They do not have a fountain machine but do have the glass style soda bottles. The decor is modern and had a nice vibe to it with great hip hop in the background. We decided to try the beautiful Milk shakes they make which reminded me of the Candy Factory. I had the Jam Burger which came with a round jalapeño popper, carmelized onions and bacon jam. it was a bit sweet and needed some type of freshens to break up the monotony. The rest of the crew had basic burgers which were also ok. Now the service was too slow for my liking I mean it's definitely not an In and out type joint where you can make it back to work during your lunch break. So that's a problem. it also took a life time to get the milkshakes. read more

Excellent customer service. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. Burgers were so fresh and filling. I ordered the Bodega burger which had fresh sweet plantains, a fried egg, garlic sauce, Monterey Jack cheese and red cabbage. Best burger place in town. Ray was so polite and even gave us suggestions on a shake that tasted delicious ! read more

Great service. Great environment. Today they released their wings! They were great, has awesome flavor and didn't even need any sauce. Definitely recommend this place! Oh and their side sauces are to die for! read more

Great food, great staff, def going back. My Jam burger was the best, juiciest burger I ever had. Everyone working there was super nice. Can't wait to try more shakes read more

I love this place! The bodega burger is the way to go. Food is delish and very quick. I order this to go every time just so I can enjoy it at home. Eating here is also cool. The atmosphere is cool, but small. I definitely recommend for anyone to come and try the food. read more

I was in the area with a group of friends and since we were not familiar with the area, we looked on yelp so see what was good to eat around the area. I came across Jam burger, the food looked good from the pictures and the reviews were good so I thought to give it a try! I went in and staff was very polite! Help with me order since I didn't not know what to order. At the time they had a special going on, free drink with a purchase of a burger. They did not rush making my food and everything taste fresh! All in all they have my vote and I will definitely came again when I am in the area! read more

I saw that this place had 4 stars and figured I would try it. My chocolate shake was drenched in what tasted like Hersey chocolate syrup even though I asked for a plain shake. The Idaho fries tasted like frozen fries that had been unfrozen. My chicken sandwich tasted more like a mc chicken from mc Donald's and to be honest a mc chicken probably taste better. I also ordered a plan burger which was completely pink and uncooked. They didn't ask me what temperature I wanted my burger so not sure was it was uncooked. I don't know why this place got 4 stars because it's really nothing special at all! read more

Jam Burger - Burgers Near Me - Garfield, New Jersey

This place is great.. 3 burger choices 2 choices of fries some bottled sodas and some milkshakes.. I got the bodega burger it's Monterey jack cheese cabbage plantains garlic sauce.. it was an absolute delight. It was an awesome flavor combination of sweet and salty.. I paired that with a side of regular fries that were slightly well done (my favorite) and an awesome chocolate shake. They have a house special shake menu which are 11.99 each I am yet to try one of those. I just had a regular. It's a small little joint that reminded me of a NYC night club. The help was super nice. This is just what Garfield needs. A fun little place where the food is awesome and amps some life in a somewhat morbid town. I will be going back to try the milkshake offerings as well as the jam burger which sounds off the chain. Highly recommended read more

Burger was ok nothing special kinda dry not juicy definitely looks bigger in pictures also fries were super salty which were only little more than handful of.Service was super slow only 2 people working 1 cook 1 taking orders hate to see when busy definitely call order in ahead waited 25-30 minuets for 5 burgers and 2 milk shakes.also place is super small barely any seating.Wont be going back read more

The bodega is really good and the strawberry shortcake shake is pricey but good too !

Jam burger was amazing the food was well seasoned and the staff was very attentive and welcoming however good luck finding a parking space to get one of there wonderful burgers and shakes which was very unique incorporating topping associated with the name of the shake I had the black and white shake which was Oreo flavored and it had Oreos and different topping on top of shake. For the 12 dollars I payed for the milkshake I could have definitely gone without but you do get a lot for your money. read more

The food was decent. I ordered two shakes and two fries which took about 40mins. I feel as the staff was not that welcoming. I worked in a restaurant for a couple years and i believe facial expressions are #1. read more

Their veggie burger.... is unreal. It's one of the best veggie burgers I've had. Being a vegetarian and having jam burger by me is WONDERFUL. 100 percent recommend read more

I can't seem to understand why this place doesn't have a five star rating and why its not as well known as it should be. Its a really small place with BIG POTENTIAL. The shakes are awesome and the burgers are restaurant quality, way better than any franchise I've been to at least. Oh and the prices? Totally worth while. Jam Burger over all other burger joints. read more

After ordering the bodega burger and a black& white Oreo milkshake, I have to say, the place is A-MAZE-ING! Not only is it the only place around here that is modernized but it has that true NYC feel. That limited table space, food bar seating and a window on the store front that opens up to allow some cool air in and that food smell out. I was in complete shock that we have something like this in the New Jersey residential side. I've been told by many friends to visit the place so finally after some convincing I went and ordered a bodega burger which was absolutely convincing for another try at another burger. The black and white Oreo shake, hmmm too good! I'm such a dessert fan so when I see things made like this my heart melts! The shake was made in a the best art form possible, it is drizzled with Oreo cookies around the lip of the cup topped with whip cream, fried Oreos, crumbled Oreos and a huge Oreo cookie in the middle of all this. After I figured out how to dip in this monster out dessert I was absolutely in love with the construction of it and the taste. I couldn't stop sipping this thing if I wanted to, but I'm glad I went and experienced this place first hand and ordered. I will definitely be coming by again to try more if their selection out. read more

Nice ambiance but Very slow service. Smh you might want to call and place your order long before you arrive.

So today was the second time I went into Jam Burger. The first time I went I had the JAM Burger with sweet potato fries. When I say I almost bit my fingers, I am not exaggerating! It was AWESOME! My family had 2 kids meal sliders and my wife the Classic burger. We were all very impressed! Today we go again and I tried the Veggie Burger with sweet potato fries. I think, HANDS DOWN, this was one of if not the BEST veggie burger I have ever had. The mushroom patty was sooooo juicy and the onions were just right. I am telling you, if you want a New York style hole in the wall burger spot with AMAZING food and GREAT shakes, JAM Burger is your place! It is in the heart of Garfield with fair prices and quality food. Remember, you get what you pay for. You want a cheap burger go to McDonalds. But if you appreciate quality food with great craftsmanship, JAM Burger is it. Oh! By the way... I will always support a small business owner who is not too high and mighty to sweep his own floors! Witnessed myself today. Outstanding job guys! read more

I have yet to actually go into the restaurant but I've ordered about 4 times from Uber Eats and the consistency is def there! The classic burger is my favorite with the sweet potato fries def trying the bodega burger next! read more

I just finished taking an exam & I needed something to pick me up. I was driving around the area & I asked a local for a place where I can get myself a good quality burger, a quick "pick-me-upper." He then referred me to Jam Burger. Jam Burger's low-key, boutique-style restaurant caught attention as soon as I stepped my foot in the door. Let me tell you, not only do you get enjoy yourself a great quality burger (Get the Signature, my personal fav), you get to enjoy it with a side of sweet potato fries & the best of all.......the strawberry shortcake milkshake. If that is not utopia, I don't know what is. read more

This place has really good burgers ! The restaurant is really cute. My only complaint is the girl in the cashier . They should have someone more welcoming and helpful. When trying to decide what to order from the menu i asked her what was her favorite thing she just nodded her head and said she doesn't know . Anything i asked her she would nod her head . They should also have more drink options . Other then that this place is great read more

If I say I had a fantastic burger at Jam Burger today The Bodega burger is original,and dam good.The service was also frieindly, there is a few guys that came in to eat and the girls serve them and they didn't leave a tip,so itipped her for them.Be nce to your servers! read more

Went there last week and I must say these guys know what they're doing with these burgers.. for one I could tell it wasn't your typical frozen fatty patty, the food was fresh and they even added sweet plantains to the burger which I thought was a great touch.. I ended up ordering the strawberry shortcake shake which I thought was a bit on the pricey side until they handed it to me.. they fit an entire ice cream bar inside! Overall a good experience and I'm already planning a visit with my son within a week.. I recommend this place read more
