Outside
Sabrina M.

I love this quick bite very fulfilling. The burger is probably one of the best vegan burgers I've ever had. The waffle fries were delicious and crunchy. This is located outside, but they do have some seats where you can sit.

Straight off the plane and this was the first place I wanted to try in NY. Vegan burger, fries, and a milkshake... oh yea. That burger was delicious, I should've gotten a double, seriously (or another burger)! I'm a fry kinda girl and these were cooked to perfection and they were waffle fries! Also got a chocolate milkshake made with oat milk, so so good! This walk up was very effective with service and had a few seating to enjoy your food. Cute and fast with getting the order out. Can't wait to go back!

We were staying at a nearby hotel- and stumbled upon this spot in the wee hours of the morning. This location had been vacant for a few years, so we were surprised to see a bright yellow building with people sitting at tables. We ordered burgers and fries. Everything was piping hot when we got back to our room. These were hands down- THE BEST impossible burgers that we have ever eaten. The waffle fries were perfect. Next time we'll splurge on shakes. If you're looking for a late night vegetarian option- highly recommend checking them out. Service was fast and friendly.

Chili and waffle fries

Amazing vegan place. A "smash burger " with crispy edges and fantastic taste. Chili fries are good too. And a real bargain!

Jr burger was still a great size!
Elizabeth B.

Popped in here for a quick bite. Their soft serve machine was down (it's giving McDonald's lol) so I just ordered a jr burger and fries. Both came out piping hot and tasted fresh! Fries were perfectly seasoned, and the burger was perfect. The guys working had such a good vibe that was appreciated!

Unexpected find! Was craving a burger but cutting back on beef recently. Stumbled upon this place online and figured I'd give it a try, not expecting much. Honestly, so many plant-based burger joints are either mediocre or just all taste the same. This was a really solid burger. I got their standard (OG Betr) with everything (lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions, vegan cheese). Honestly, if you weren't paying attention you could be fooled into thinking this was just a decent regular burger from a fast food joint. Two smashed patties, great flavor. I was a little concerned about the cheese, but it really worked. If you're a veggie or vegan, or if you just are limiting meat--or just curious--it's worth a visit. No great seating, though some outdoor countertops, so maybe avoid if the weather is crappy.

This was my first time trying Jerrell's. This is a solid vegan burger. I've had a couple vegan burgers and this one is just right. The flavor is there and the textures are on point. The loaded chili fries were pretty good. The flavor of the chili was moderate but it compliments the fries and has a subtle sweet taste to it. The cookies and cream milkshake was good. It was smooth and balanced. For a spot with limited seating and spacing the service is pretty good. They accommodate for the space really well.

Stand at Lincoln Center
Marie Y.

Looking for a quick dinner option as I waited for the Summer in the City event to start, I decided to try a Lil' Betr burger at a stand located at Lincoln Center. The price was reasonable, and if I hadn't known that the burger was Impossible meat, I would have not been able to tell the difference. The burger was delicious and juicy. I also appreciated the ingenious burger wrapping -- I was able to enjoy my burger cleanly without having to touch it with my likely dirty hands. Based on this positive experience, I plan to stop by the actual location to try another burger, as well as their sides and dessert, the next time I am in Soho!

I was excited to try Jerrell's vegan burgers following an after party that had sliders and fries but no vegan option for myself. The shop is small with a few outdoor tables to dine. Definitely a grab-and-go kind of vibe. Let's talk about the burger itself. It's an impossible burger with vegan cheese you can get at the grocery store, but the way they prepare it together gave me that charred taste that I enjoyed growing up. For $14, it's a pricy burger but it did taste good and hit the junk food cravings. The Chili Cheese Waffle Fries however came in the smallest container ever. For nearly $10, I was expecting at least double the amount of fries for a rather small amount of vegan cheese and chili on top. We also tried a Cookies N' Cream Oat Milkshake, and that was a good treat. Overall, the meal was good but a bit pricy for the amount of food that we ended up getting. I'd come back for the burger if I was really wanting one but would skip the loaded fries.

Delicious, vegan, walk-up to order burger spot. Waffle fries, Cookies and Cream Milkshakes, what more do you need?

Ayana A.

I tried out the oat milk soft serve, and it was pretty decent! You can get free toppings including sprinkles or cookie crumbles. I got both. Refreshing little treat on a nice day. They do have some seating inside or outside. It is smaller tables. They also have standing tables on the side for larger crowds.

Double burger and waffle fries
Jim M.

This has to be the best vegan burger that I've ever had! I had the double which tasted amazing, very hot and freshly made. When I was a little kid, I always wanted a Big Mac, like my dad got. But he said I was too little to finish one. The first time that he said OK and let me get one, it was the best thing ever, though I was stuffed. This burger actually brought back that memory, except it's not beef this time.

Cookies and cream shake food
Karina B.

Order a single fries and cookie and cream shake food was good. The special sauce was a nice flavor not sure what it's made of.

We were thrilled to find two seats at the end of the bar when we arrived. As luck would have it, the two gentlemen next to us eventually left, allowing us to slide over and enjoy an even better view of the TV for the rest of the game. I started with a Tito's and club soda, but unfortunately, something seemed off--perhaps the club soda was flat. The drink just wasn't good. To their credit, the bartender took it back without hesitation and was very accommodating. I then ordered a Negroni after the woman sitting next to us highly recommended it. I don't usually drink gin, but this cocktail was absolutely delicious and changed my mind. Since we were there for several hours, we shared an order of zucchini and eggplant chips and happily snacked on them throughout the game. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, with a nice mix of ages and people enjoying the evening. We made sure to leave our bartender a generous tip since we occupied our seats for the entire game. Even though the Knicks didn't pull out a win that night, we certainly didn't leave defeated. I'd happily return for another game, cocktail, and fun evening out. And maybe even get dinner there. Little did I know there was another big room in the ack once you past the restrooms. They were having a thriving business there!

Also, an obvious side note- You wonder how a place that's been open for, I believe, a year and a half has 1500 Google Reviews? It's because they give you a free soda if you write a 5-star review, so I guess if you have a palate for Polar sodas, you can give them a five on that site. If you're going to get anything, go for the tender combo, as their sliders, burgers, and buns are bad. Anyway, it's nice to find a Zabiha Halal spot that serves burgers and other American grub in this neighborhood. I used to frequent somewhat similar spots back in the Arabic neighborhood I lived near in Brooklyn, and it was nice to see this place open a while back. I have tried a handful of things here, and honestly, it's gotten worse every time. The first time, I got the tenders consisting of six pieces for $14, which is honestly very reasonable. The thinner pieces were a tad dry, as the batter had become overly fried, but it's hard to complain about the price point. They also came with a perfectly alright sauce called Mambo, which they list as spicy but is as hot as a spicy McNugget or similar with a light sweetness. The second time, I had the Slider Combo for $7.99, which came with two chicken sliders (spicy if wanted,) fries, and a Polar soda. The fries were honestly nice and better quality than those at any nearby fast-food place. The sliders were dreadful, however. They were dry with overly breaded chicken with no pickles or anything else to help, so I guess that's why it comes with a soda or water. This doesn't help the even worse bun, which was dry as well, and makes a Martin's potato roll look like a Rolls-Royce. The Polar drink was, as expected, a worse Diet Coke. The last time, and the last time I'll ever stop in here, I got the Classic Burger, which is their smash patty with American cheese, holy sauce, lettuce, tomato, and onion. This was the worst burger I've had in ages and easily the worst smashburger, with the meat somehow being dry. I guess the bun was different as it was larger, but also as the top was charred better than the burger meat. Maybe the signature burger for $4 more is better, but I'm never going to stop for it if they're careless enough to burn a burger bun. 3 stars for the chicken tenders due to the deal. 2 stars for the slider combo, as the fries were decent. 0.5 stars for the burger. 2/5

Two-part, proper settle, tight dome, no rushing it. That's rarer than it should be in Midtown where half the bars treat a stout like a lager. Whoever's behind the bar here has been trained or grew up around it. Food's better than a second-floor pub between 5th and 6th has any right to be. The JRB burger comes on a house-ground patty (they grind in-house, and you can tell, loose texture, actual seasoning), caramelized onions cooked down all the way, not just softened, good cheese pull. Fried pickles on the side had a crisp cornmeal shell and stayed crunchy under the burger juices, which never happens. Buttermilk chicken salad was the surprise. Chicken actually brined, crust stayed on, greens weren't an afterthought. Only real knock: music was loud. Not sports-bar loud, more like the bartender's playlist got away from him. Fine at the bar, harder at a table if you want to talk. Room's got real bones. Reclaimed barn wood, old rail track as a foot rest, that big 45-star flag on the wall. Been here almost 20 years and it's aged into itself. For the neighborhood the pricing's fair. Beats P.J. Clarke's on the burger, loses on quiet. Go for a beer and a burger, not a date.
