“For me, the ostrich was very tasty, served with a slice of mozzarella on the same whole wheat bun.”
“And, priced at well less than $20 per entree, Vizio seems a real find between Columbus Circle and Times Square.”
“Had the venison burger – it had a slight hint of game but was seasoned just enough to make that a feature, not a flaw.”

I had lunch here yesterday with a colleague and it was absolutely fine. Her fish and chips seemed good, and my bison chipotle burger with cheddar was just what I wanted – something basic, simple, and acceptably executed. The fries were pretty good, and actually the onion rings we got for our appetizer were fantastic (yesterday was not a healthy day). The prices were really reasonable for what we got.
My only complaints were that they only had honey mustard, not spicy brown, and when we paid, we asked for the server to put part of the check on a card and bring change back for a $20 – he instead took the remainder of the check out of the $20. Not a big deal, but if there was a reason he couldn't fulfill our request, he should have told us, instead of doing something entirely different.
If you want something simple, basic, and reasonably-priced close to work, I'd recommend this place. Wouldn't travel to eat here though.
i had the salmon burger. it's small for $8!
Imagine that the only food left in the world came in burger form.
And you're hungry. And you want to eat.
What kinda burger are you feeling?
Bacon? Cheddar? Swiss? Mushrooms? Onions?
You are SO Boring.
How about Elk? Venison? Wild Boar? Ostrich? Lamb & Mozzarella? Kobe Beef? Salmon? Buffalo? Now we're talking.
Oh, you still want bacon, cheddar, mushrooms, etc? We gotchu.
Don't forget to try it with avocado or goat cheese!
Had the venison burger – it had a slight hint of game but was seasoned just enough to make that a feature, not a flaw. The sesame seed bun was perfectly sized and toasted. The egg wash gave it an extra crispy texture.
My darling had a salmon burger with avocado. She's a fan too.
We ordered sweet potato fries to share – they're a must.
I intend to come back for the rest of the animal kingdom.
Really really average place. My burger was ok, my friend's one was wieerd. Meat did not looked cooked, buns were greasy and not tasty the way you expected it, fries were ok (at least they looked home made), coke was not coke mixed with thousands of ice cubes. + the decor and the friendliness of the staff were not enthousiastic. I won't go there again.. sorry guys.
An interesting choice especially when it comes to the burgers
*Note* My review is based on take-out only.
Food: 3.5 Stars
The Champ Burger: Half pound of black Angus beef steak burger.
I ordered this burger medium-rare but received a bizarrely cooked burger. Half of it was medium-rare and the other half was medium-well. The crazier part of this the cooking difference was vertical, not horizontal. I don't know how they managed that.
The burger wasn't juicy, but the meat was tender and not dry.
The toppings you can choose from are interesting if you feel a very mildly adventurous (And I mean mildly). I took the "Olives Sweet Fried Onions" thinking the fried onions were from a brand called olives or something else. However the dish included fried onions and olives. It seems like a weird combination, but it worked.
You have 10 choices of cheeses for your burger. I went with my standard mozzarella, good choice as usual.
The fries are above average.
Fish and Chips
It took me a while to find a place that has fish and chips (as well as a place where I can be lazy and order it online), but 1 Vizio has it.
The fish was fresh and well cooked. The batter was crispy and had a nice golden color. I will be happy to order it again when I get a craving for it
Service: 3.25 Stars
Standard service. I received my order and I was offered a seat while my food was still being prepared. They staff was polite.
Speed: 3.5 Stars
The first time I went, I arrived about 20-25 minutes after ordering and my food wasn't ready yet, but the second time after showing up 15-20 minutes after ordering, my food was ready. I don't know if this was inconsistency, bad luck, or they weren't sure if I would show up or not, but overall I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes after arriving at the restaurant.
Ambiance: 3.5 Stars
1 Vizio is a pretty small restaurant. Since I have only ordered takeout I am unable to tell if the restaurant has more of a homey feel or just I'm eating out at a restaurant feel. It isn't very crowded during the later lunch hour (past 1pm).
Overall: 3.49 Stars
I found this place while digging through yelp for a good burger and wasn't disappointed. The assortment of foods on the menu at a decent price will have me going back often.
1 Vizio seems like a good place to seat down and eat if you are going to a Broadway show nearby.
However if you want good takeout and feel like spending a little ($8-$15) you should try this place out.
I don't feel comfortable giving 4 stars as of yet, but as I continue to eat here I feel I will raise the rating.
