I have ordered delivery from here many times. Terrific lemon chicken with pasta. Roasted chicken is good too. It is down home comfort food.
The Fish and Chips, the Chicken Wing plate and the Burger are staples for my work weekend lunches. HK doesn't disappoint.
Tried this neighborhood gem and was highly impressed. It's a small joint with only two small tables (if you're interested in sitting) but I definitely think this is more of a grab and go kinda place based on the flood of phone calls they received while I was waiting for my food.
They advertise a burger, toppings and fries for $7.95 on a self made sign hanging outside their window but it was a bit higher, at $9.50ish. I'm not complaining considering the portion sizes they offer. I ordered my burger medium well and it came out closer to well which is fine by me.
They have 3 types of cheeses if you're interested: cheddar, mozzarella or bleu. I opted for the cheddar while my fiancé tried the bleu. Right when we put in our order the guy threw two fresh patties on the grill, which already adds points in my book for freshness. We took our food to go and I was very impressed by the size of our meals. The patty was huge and reminded me of something my dad would grill on a summer day versus the skinnier patties you find at a Shake Shack or Five Guys. Also, there was barely a drop of grease on the whole thing. A lot of times I feel full to the brim post burger indulgence but this time I felt happy and satisfied 🙂
You can tell freshness is key at Harriet's and they make efforts to stick to "home made". The burger was topped with tomato, shredded lettuce and grilled onions which is a perk you usually pay extra for. The cheddar I added was great and my fiancé really enjoyed the bleu cheese.
We also shared a side of fries which were delicious. Also not too greasy, they were hand cut and seasoned well. I'm a ketchup junkie and didn't feel I needed too much.
Clearly I loved Harriet's and believe everyone else will, too. If you find yourself on the Upper West Side or just want to check out a local burger joint, drop by! They also offer a large menu of comfort food options (fried chicken to mashed potatoes to Italian entrees as well) so you can definitely find something to please your appetite.
After just two weeks I have come back here three more times for this burger! I crave it now. I'll be on the subway on my way home from work and I can't get Harriet's Burgers out of my mind. It is a blessing/curse that it is basically under my apartment.
The burgers are consistently good. The grilled onions that top it really make it unique and simply delicious. The spuds are cut fresh daily and never taste old or under/overcooked. You can't have a burger without them.
For dinner to be a filling burger, fries and a coke and it all come under $10, you can't go wrong. If you're lucky you'll get one of two tables…or just take it to go and enjoy it at home or in the park!
It doesn't matter where you are eating the burger as long as you're eating it…
I've only come here once for take-out, but I see it as my hole in the wall hamburger place.
My cheeseburger was definitely made to order, but I didn't pay attention about the fries. I don't usually eat fries, but I wanted to try the whole deal, and they were worth it. I can definitely see how they're super absent-minded–I was the only person there, and as they were making my burger, the counter guy asked me if I wanted any ketchup/mustard/etc with it. I told him just ketchup… and something like 5 minutes later when my burger was done, he put it in the bag, paused, and was like "what did you want again?" I chalked it up to it being a long day, but yeah, maybe that's how they always are…
If you're having a burger on the UWS don't wait in line at shake shack, come here and get a better burger every time.
