It was packed with potatoes, eggs, cheese, avocado, and refried beans. The potatoes added a slight crunch, while the aji verde gave it a mild kick. This burrito is only available during breakfast hours from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, so please plan accordingly.   Seating is limited to a narrow table with a few stools, so I highly recommend purchasing your order for take out only #highlife #breakfastburrito

Meh. A burger that I'd expect to have at a friend's bbq. The secret sauce is really fun. The whole…read moreonion slice in the middle is an interesting move. It adds a lot of crunch which I like, but unsure if the whole thing is needed. A bit much. I have so many smashburger lately that perhaps a regular cheeseburger just doesn't do it for me these days. But this just felt a lil bland and nothing special. Feel like I could make this on a grill.

This unpretentious little fried chicken spot in the East Village is a sleeper hit. My friend…read morebrought me to this small little restaurant a few weeks ago and I've come back twice already. The chicken sandwich is shatteringly crispy as the name implies. It kind of reminds me of an elevated KFC sandwich (specifically the KFCs in Asia). The buns are nice and soft, veggies are included and there's a delicious "secret" mayonnaise. If you get the combo, you have an abundant choice of sides, including 6-piece nuggets! When I saw they had an entire fried chicken on the menu as well, I knew I had to come back to try it. I brought it to a small Thanksgiving gathering and it was a hit! The bird was picked clean. The prices here are also really good and the staff are very nice. The chicken sandwich is $7 (or $12 for a combo) and the friend whole chicken was only $15! As a bonus, there's a game you can play to win a random prize.

Only $1 more dollar than popeyes chicken sandwich and loads better. This will be my go-to for chicken sandwiches in the city when I'm not feeling popeyes. We also got chicken thighs and leg combo which were decent, including mash potato, house sauce, and a drink. We enjoyed dining in at the few bar seating. Also, this is the only place with pumpkin cakes! Very chinese. Crispy but not much pumpkin flavor. This place itself reminds me of chinatown's 98K chicken, but chicken is not fried like theirs, much better.

I'm a huge fan of seventh street burger so I was really pleased to find a place that satisfies all the same cravings, but is still different. There was a special quality to this fat boy (double burger). It wasn't super greasy and felt really hefty. At $10 it was really well priced. The seasoned fries $4 were a real stand out. And we were well worth the price. The best part about the burger was the sauce. It almost felt like a chipotle mayo, but it was SO good. Service was fast and quick and I'm definitely keeping it on my list.

The fries were perfectly golden brown with crispy exterior with a nice pillowly potato inside and well seasoned. It was overall a good meal and I would go again to try new items like milkshakes. This place has ample seating which is rare for a spot in east village Manhattan. The workers are so patient and hospitable with recommendations.

Burger was delicious, the hamburger patties are thin, really smash burger style. I would say with the double and how thin the patties are, two pieces of cheese does make it to cheesy for me. Also you have to ask for lettuce and tomato, which I think I would have preferred. bacon is available with an added charge. Fries are incredibly, aioli was good too. You also get a cheeseburger gummy as a treat.

This spot is slightly cheaper then other smash burger competitors at 6.50 for a single. I LIKE THE BURGER SAUCE WHICH IS ZESTY AND CREAMY. The fries remind me of 5 guys fries being thick cut and with the potato skin left on. The fries have a strong potato flavor and have a crisp outside and a soft inside. They also have more ample inside seating which is a major plus for the east village esp. The workers are nice accomondating and talkative with reccomendations and personabillity great vibe.

But this spot actually delivers. The chicken sandwich is straight-up good. Juicy, flavorful, no gimmicks--just solid. And the fries? Crispy, well-seasoned, exactly what you want when you get that craving. I haven't tried the smash burgers yet, but if they're anything like the rest of the menu, I'm sure they're worth it. They used to have BOGO deals on Uber Eats after 9 PM--not sure if that's still on, but it was a killer deal if you're craving a late-night bite. Solid addition to the East Village--support the indie spots that actually bring it.

This place can make an impossible burger for customers as well. This is a fast casual restaurant with a few tables. The counter staff was friendly. There are combo meals and specials after 230. Oh, the burger was juicy and fresh. The chicken burger is tasty without being overly seasoned. These little burgers are basically a snack if one doesn't want to grab junk food or a smoothie. The highlight for me is the few bread. The roll stands out to me more than the meat.
