Whitman's is a fantastic American restaurant that is known for their burgers They have a nice downstairs area and even have some games such as Monoploy and Codenames. Here is everything we shared: Fried Pickles Crack Kale East Villi Cheesesteak Juicy Lucy Cabernet Savignon - We both loved it! The crack kale in particular was a recommendation from the server and it had a great crunch/flavor. I really loved the burger which was juicy especially with the pimento cheese. Fantastic service also! I'd go back! read more

The smash burger and fries here are to die for. Pro tip: Come in on Tuesdays for free fries with every burger.

Juicy burger was fantastic Service great Our server had great recommendations that were perfect The onion rings outta sight read more

Whitman's!! It's just so... comfy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Most of the seating is in their basement downstairs, which is small but feels so warm and inviting with its fun assortment of throwback Americana/NYC decor and the stack of well-loved board games they keep in the corner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]For what it lacks in vibrancy, it certainly makes up for in warmth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Walking in is easy, and the food is exactly what you'd expect. The juicy lucy is imperfect -- the pimento cheese is a fun concept, but kind of ends up being its own big blob instead of mixing in with the burger like it's supposed to -- but I mean, it tastes great. The fries are a good portion and solid, and the crack kale is honestly fantastic: light, airy, melt-in-your-mouth kale with plenty of Old Bay flavor. A great neighborhood spot for a perfectly respectable burger! read more

Whitmans has propelled itself to the top of our smashburger list. This amazing smash deviated from the standard by lacking pickles, but we didn't even care. It's perfectly moist without being greasy, which is usually a con, but in this case, it was a major pro. The flavor was on point. The SIDES were AMAZING. The crust on the onion rings almost melted in my mouth, and the loaded tots were not only gorgeous but also delicious. They were giving gourmet with the smokey cheese and pieces of bacon. It is pretty expensive for a smash with a side, but it's worth it. read more

Phenomenal burgers, phenomenal fries. Love this place!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cozy space downstairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Going on the early side, it's a real treat! read more

One of the worst hamburgers I've ever had. It wasn't fresh, or hot, or even giving off a smell of freshly cooked food. In fact, it tasted like it was made the day before. No moisture, no juice. Sat blandly on the plate. The cheese did not move. The "smashed" burger was solid. Too neat, too tidy, no crumbs, nothing dripped. Beyond disappointed. Staff was friendly. read more

Solid lunch spot in the neighborhood. The fries are far superior to the tater tots. Lamb burger was really tasty, but did think it was bizarre that the cheese came on the side. You can skip the fried pickles and just order some more fries. read more

After a show at UCB we came here for dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was busy on a Friday night upstairs but downstairs was dead.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have been here a number of times but it has been a few years. I got the juicy Lucy which was excellent and the fried pickles which were also very good. The fries are amazing as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's like a rump room style downstairs which is fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely come here for burgers if you're in the area! read more

Whitman's is a great spot if you're looking to satisfy your burger cravings. I was suggested to get the hound burger by the waiter, which was the perfect blend of crunch from the crispy potato strings to savory from the applewood bacon 9/10. My date got the bacon and egg burger 8/10. On Tuesdays, the restaurant offers free fries, which was a great surprise to us since. we had no idea. The sweet potatoes were crispy, sweet and salty. The regular fries were standard fries, but salty and crispy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant gave a rustic environment with light music in the background.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was quick and seamless. read more

Just had Whitman's delivered. They've gotten very chintzy on the portion size. Ordered house salad with a turkey burger. There was barely any salad & turkey burger was very small. They did this on a previous delivery. Time to avoid Whitman's for a long time! They've lost my following. What happened to you Whitman's? read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was good and casual, great for friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was not so good, took about 30 minutes to get the check. Food was decent, I would recommend getting a smash burger instead of the regular burger since the patty is very thick. read more

I've got nothing but positive vibes for this joint! We've eaten inside and had delivery and I can promise you, they food is always great and consistent. Staff is friendly and chill! I get the Juicy Lucy (my fav) and their fries....oh their fries! You can add blue cheese "dressing" that is to DIE for!!!! Ask for extra ketchup if you do delivery! The food is legit and they do offer up some tasty beer/cider too! read more

We are locals meeting a family member in NYC in the beautiful but touristy Hudson Yards area, since the transportation options are so good there. We were looking for someplace to eat that was "cheap and cheery" and Whitmans literally surpassed our expectations. With drinks, dinner for four adults (three men) was $160 including the tip. For NYC, that is a bargain. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is very nice, at the base of the Highline.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] More importantly, the food was terrific--burgers and the best fries and onion rings we have had in a long time. Great service, too. This is on our list of great places to eat in NYC. read more

Whitman's has a nice shack set up for outdoor seating with heat lamps for their three or so tables. It was a nice place for a cold Friday. We ordered a wedge salad and fried pickles to start. The pickles were very crispy and had a good sauce to go with it. The wedge salad was pretty good as well. I don't love blue cheese so I scraped a lot of the dressing off but the bacon bits went well with it. We shared the juicy Lucy burger between two of us. The burger was a bit smaller than I expected although it was quite heavy with all the cheese so we were still full at the end of the meal. Overall a cozy place to for outdoor dining. Service was a little slow although expected given COVID times. read more

The food is great. I don't eat beef but the Ultimate Burger is fantastic. Their pickles are great too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is great and you can contribute a drawing of Walt Whitman for display.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My only issue is that it's unclear whether they will deliver or not. I have had food delivered before but I tried to order for delivery and was told they don't deliver. I had to bike there in the rain to get my food or I wasn't going to get it at all. read more

Whitmans - Bluicy and fries. $42. - Burgers Near Me - New York, New York

More of a 3.5 but I'll round up this time. The burgers are good and they have a big selection to choose from. They range from $11-$14 for just the burger. The sides are the real winners here. The fried pickles are thinly sliced, super crispy, and addictive. The onion rings are large, delicately fried on the outside and tender, not stringy, on the inside. Fries are good and brussel sprouts don't hurt. Friendly staff and quaint interiors. read more

Whitman's is a place of comfort. It's intimate, cozy and dim lit. A perfect setting for deep conversations and amazing specialty crafted burgers. I had the Juicy Lucy and boy is it JUICY! It is literally the opposite of dry. It's smothered and bathed in flavor and onions, which are my absolute favorite. Pair this burger with a Brooklyn Brewery beer and it's a match made in heaven. I've never had a craving for a burger before but now I will. The onion rings are also crispy and are a great accompaniment to the meal. The staff is also friendly and accomadating with seating. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Stopped in at Whitmans for lunch on a whim. We sat outside on a beautiful, sunny fall afternoon. Water was brought over right away and after spotting fried pickles on the menu, we knew we made a good choice. We started with the fried pickles and ordered 2 Diet Cokes. The Diet Cokes are served in a can at $3 a pop. We each ordered a burger, the veggie and the classic, and split an order of spicy brussel sprouts and fries. Everything was fantastic! The brussel sprouts had a nice kick and the fries were crunchy but soft. The burgers had a great sauce and were grilled to perfection. Definitely will be back to try the onion rings and some of their other burgers; there's a bunch to choose from. If you're in the area and looking for a quick bite to eat, stop and check out Whitmans! read more

Four stars feels just about right for this spot. They have a lot of burger options and a really nice variety of sides (tots, fries, onion rings, sushito peppers, sweet potato fries). The burger felt like something I would eat in my house growing up, it isn't fancy but it gets the job done and hits the spot. Probably better for taking out than dining in. The dining room downstairs is a bit gloomy and overly quiet. I kind of felt like I was eating in someone's bomb shelter. read more

We stopped by while we were shopping around the Hudson Yards area and were craving a good burger. My sister really enjoyed the Juicy Lucy and even wanted to order a second one! The service was also very fast and our server was very nice. The prices were also very reasonable. If you come, make sure to order the Juicy Lucy :) read more

The Juicy Lucy Burger is mind blowing. I'll say it again, MIND BLOWING. I've never been to Whitman's in person but when I'm in the mood to order an amazing "treat yourself" burger, I don't even consider other options. The moment when you bite into it and gooey pimento cheese comes oozing out is just glorious. I even ordered it for my sister who rarely eats red meat at all, and even she was a fan. Must try! read more

Burger burger burger time! This burger shop is very small and you can easily pass it. It has a cool hip east village vibe with a few small tables on the 1st floor and a large dinning area in the basement. The waitress was very nice I got the juicy Lucy (beef short rib blend stuffed with pimento cheese, caramelized onion, bibb lettuce, tomato, spicy pickles, special sauce, on sesame bun) and Whitman's Classic (beef short rib blend patty, seared onion, bibb lettuce, tomato, new pickles, special sauce on potato bun )and the Brussels spouts. The Juicy Lucy i ordered medium rare was cooked perfectly and the quality of meat was very good but I thought it lacked flavor and spices and it was good but it won't wow you and my pops felt the same way about the Whitman classic. The Brussel Sprouts were crispy full of flavor and absolutely delicious just this will make me come back. In short: -Cool Burger Joint -Nice Wait Staff - Ok burgers -Great Brussel sprouts read more

Took 40 minutes to recieve raw burgers. We tried to return them they just came back from being microwaved. Misshapen, disgusting. I begged twice for silverware only to have to share a fork with my friend. We had malt vinegar on the table and the waitress took it away stating it wasn't ketchup. Decided to leave and the slacker rude server was just nasty to us. She would saw ...I'm not the kitchen..and..I'm a one women operating.. Poor food Poor service. NO AND NO@ read more

I ordered from here via DoorDash last night because I was craving a burger and this place has been on my list for a while! Also, they are one of the only places I've seen in NYC that has a peanut butter burger which is truly one of my favorites (don't knock it until you try it). The order came really quickly (within 25 minutes). The burger was so good. It was cooked really well and also just loved that it had bacon and peanut butter on it. Such a good flavor complement. I would have loved to go here in person in normal times, but it will be something I have to look forward to! They also have blue cheese fries on the menu which I was for sure eyeing, but I'll be getting them next time for sure. read more

Whitmans - PB and B Burger - Burgers Near Me - New York, New York

Came here awhile back. Walking around East Village, we decided to check this place out. Some seating is available upstairs, additional seating downstairs. This place is cozy and if you go early enough, it shouldn't be hard finding a seat. Service was quick and friendly. The ambiance is laid back and this is a no frills type place. Love it. Tried the Juicy Lucy. The beef patty is made up of a short rib blend stuffed with pimento cheese. Seared well on the outside and filled with gooey cheesy goodness on the inside. The burger is topped off with caramelized onion, bibb lettuce, tomato, spicy pickles, special sauce, all in between a sesame bun. Perfection! The fries were delicious, crisp and seasoned well. Overall, I'm glad we got a chance to try Whitman's out! read more

After watching the afc championship game, I was in the mood for burgers around the saint marks area. Was debating between this and Paul's da burger joint. We decided on here after reading Paul's was greasy, and also the pictures of burgers here also looked a lot more appealing. It was empty when we arrived so seating was no problem. I had a hard time deciding between the pb&b burger(peanut butter and bacon) or the bacon, egg and cheese (exactly as is sounds). I ended up going with the bacon, egg and cheese. Food came pretty quickly. Came with a decently sized patty, apple wood smoked bacon and a fried egg on top. Definitely looked very yummy. After the first bite, I was satisfied with the taste. Burger was cooked medium like I asked, the egg and bacon made the burger even better (bacon makes everything better). I devoured the burger in probably 5 bites or so. Even though the burger is gigantic, still filling with the egg and bacon. At $11, not a bad price at all. read more

My first Yelp review as a person who lives in New York! (Not quite a "New Yorker"...) Decided to grab an easy bite here after deciding we weren't really feeling the heavy meal that would be Thursday Kitchen (a few doors down the street). Food: 4/5 Beer: 2/5 Service: 3/5 We ordered the Bluicy and the Spicy Patty. Perfectly fine burgers (both done medium rare, as requested), didn't feel greasy and satisfied our taste buds. I actually really enjoyed the pepper blend in the Spicy Patty. Nothing special about the sesame bun, though - wasn't even warm or toasted. They were out of tater tots, so we got the fries which were average. They didn't have the beers we wanted, so we opted for a couple of Yuengling... served slightly colder than lukewarm. Yuck. Our server was friendly, but frankly didn't quite know what he was doing. He didn't know what was unavailable (which turned out to be a lot) and he wasn't familiar with the beer menu. All fine for a quick meal, but definitely not the type of service you would normally expect! read more

Juicy Lucy! What a explosion of flavor! I tend to like my burgers simple and not overly done with toppings. However, cheese is a must for me, and Whitman's did that in a uniquely delicious way. If you read all the other reviews, you'll know that the creamy center of this burger is filled with gooey goodness. The meat was cooked very well, which was surprising since the patty didn't have a normal center. The soft pillowy bread and fresh condiments made this a real treat. read more

The majority of the seats are downstairs so that was interesting. Not sure how it is regularly, but the waitstaff was upstairs so for people who want instant service for the little things like water refills and extra napkins, expect a bit of a delay. The only people that are downstairs for good are the people in the kitchen. Onto the food. What American doesn't like sinful burgers? Being someone that's both bad at making decision and really good at being gluttonous, I ordered a side of tots and two burgers: The Juicy Lucy and the PB&B. The Juicy Lucy is Whitman's favorite. The beef patty comes stuffed with pimento cheese and is topped off with caramelized onions, spicy pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, and Whitman's special sauce. Obviously the biggest draw is the stuffed cheese. It was a serviceable burger, but as a whole it was surprisingly underwhelming. Be careful how you bite into the burger too. The first two bites I took exploded all over my face, but for most of us we're really no stranger to that. Enjoy. The PB&B Burger was the highlight of my dining experience at Whitman's. Every bite was just downright sinful. Luxurious. Whatever word you want to use to describe something that just makes you feel guilty for loving something so much. If you're a peanut butter fan, don't miss out on this combination. One thing I want to point out is that both burgers were served on non-toasted buns. The Juicy Lucy on a sesame bun and the PB&B Burger on a potato bun. Tots were pretty standard. Nothing wrong with them. read more

Whitman's was such a cool place! Although, we were a party of 6 and we had to sit in the basement, because they couldn't sit us upstairs or outside (those tables are for smaller parties). Their burgers were amazing though! I had a grilled cheese - everyone else I was with had a burger, and I tried them. I would definitely get a burger next time. Although the grilled cheese was made with three different cheeses and was literally the best grilled cheese I've ever had! We also ordered the sausage appetizer. I was starving and needed something to start with. It was big enough to share with several people. And, it was super tasty. I would definitely come back here but I would order the burger, because it looks like that's the go-to item here. I would also probably only go with one or two other people next time so I could sit upstairs or outside. It was sort of stuffy downstairs in the basement with no air flow. I'll be back to try something else next time! read more

We came here yesterday for lunch as we needed a break from our NYCC venture. The restaurant was very nice and had great decore. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, but we decided to sit indoors. The food was the best part in my opinion as our food came out quick after we ordered and it was a delicious way to fill up and recharge before we went back to the convention. Can't wait to visit again when I'm back in the city. read more

Whitmans - Grilled Chicken Club and Homemade Organic Potato Chips - Burgers Near Me - New York, New York

Amazing burgers, both classic Juicy Lucy to creative twists like PB&B with amazing sides! Where do you go when you need an amazing burger without breaking the bank? You come to Whitman's and get the Juicy Lucy! Perfect beef patty with piping hot pimento cheese oozing off the side. You will feel like you are in a Carl's Jr commercial as you eat that Juicy Lucy! I was tempted by the PB&B (Peanut Butter and Bacon Burger) because I wanted something different and I always wanted to know what it would be like. When it comes, you feel kind of sad because its just one color note whereas the Juicy Lucy is all red, yellow, green. However, it actually really works and they do it well! Crispy bacon with peanut butter and a perfectly seared burger patty! I was scared the peanut butter was too thick, but the heat of the bacon and patty melted the sauce. It was good! Crack kale has such a fitting name. The crispiest kale I have ever had, but not too oily! You can never replicate something like this at home! Perfectly seasoned, not too salty! We almost had to fight each other over the crack kale and ended up getting one to go for a friend. The only miss was the chips that accompanied the entrees such as Mama's boy. They were quite soggy and kind of disappointing compared to how crispy the kale was. read more
