I've been coming to this place in the Greenwich Village/NYU area for a few years now. Granted, recently I haven't been coming here as often as I used to. Still, it remains one of my favorite burger shops in the area.
The menu consists of the usual burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, salads, and the usual sides such as fries, onion rings, and chicken wings.
I usually get the Classic burger with Monterey jack cheese, lettuce, bacon and barbecue sauce (as pictured above). I sometimes add grilled onions and Portabella mushrooms, and substitute a side Ceasar salad instead of fries. They do charge a-la-carte for most toppings, which can add up quickly.
The combo comes with a fountain drink - they serve Coca-Cola products - or you can purchase one of their decadent milkshakes for an additional charge.
As for the burger itself, it was thick, juicy, and cooked to my medium well specification. The brioche bun is a nice touch that's different than the other places in the area. It doesn't get soggy as quickly as a regular bun would, which is appreciated.
A burger meal here will run you between $12 and $20, depending on what you order. Like I mentioned before, unlike some other places I go like Joy and Five Guys, they do charge for each topping, and depending on what you like, those can add to your total quickly. Milkshakes start with $5, with syrups and mix-ins adding $1 to $2 extra.
The staff here is also nice and friendly, and they also recently renovated the restaurant. Sit by the windows for some good people watching on 8th Street.
