  1. Been here a few times in the past year, I really liked the shakes and fries when I went last year, but just went a few weeks ago and was REALLY disappointed!  

    In general, I am not a burger person, but my husband loves burgers, and I like trying things, so I always take at least one bite.  So I've tried this burger many many times and it was always okay, just because I'm not a burger person.  My husband always really enjoyed the burger.

    We came here a few weeks ago and had a totally different reaction, we felt that the burger was very mediocre, I don't like comparing real establishments to fast food, but this burger was expensive and I felt was comparable to unnamed fast food that also serves cheeseburgers…  Everything about it was meh, the meat, the bun was cold and low quality, portion size was small, flavor was meh.

    To top off our food experience, our bag of fries was 1/3 full! Felt so unsatisfied! Previously when we've come here, the bag was always 3/4 full and the fries were good – since I don't like burgers, and my husband used to love this place, we used to come and I would just get a bag of fries for dinner, which is why I remember how full the bag was!

    Anyways, not sure if this place has changed ownership, or is just trying to survive by cutting back on certain things, ie quality of food, and serving size, but we were not happy with our last visit and will not be coming back.

    The one redeeming factor of this place is the ambiance is really nice, there are a few larger tables, and booths (good for groups).  There is a bar right when you walk in.  typically we would order at the back and then get seated, however, this past time a waiter came to our table (another change which makes me question if this place changed ownership). Anyways, this place has a cool vibe and we really enjoyed meeting friends here for burgers and beer, but think we will be finding a new spot now.

    Overall … I would not recommend this place to others, for a burger and fries there are SO many other places that are more satisfying!

  2. One of the finest burgers in the land. West village location much bigger than the original, but still maintains that kind of beach shack vibe. Better than shake shack or any similarly priced burgers. In my top ten, easily. And I eat a LOT of burgers.

  3. We dropped by the Burger Joint at around 8 on a Saturday night. I saw that other Yelpers recommended the bacon cheeseburger so that swayed me that way. They include lettuce, tomatoes, onion, ketchup, mayo, and mustard if you want it.

    We ordered two orders of fries to share between the four of us. The side of fries definitely ran on the smaller side so I might recommend 3 sides for 4 people to share. The burgers were well cooked, flavorful, and tasty. The bacon was fresh and was the perfect addition. I thought the burger portion was a good size and the prices were extremely reasonable.

    My friend ordered a cookies and cream shake and loved it. I thought it was a tasty burger, fair value, and would definitely come back!

  4. I have a thing for a greasy burger that takes two seconds to order, is served in paper with the first drips of grease peeking through before you fully unwrap it. You might say it's my happy place. Burger Joint manages to always keep its burgers well seasoned and greasy and messy. The way I see it, eating a burger should always be a messy event, and Burger Joint seems to be in agreement. Ordering a burger should also take about two seconds; you either want a hamburger or cheeseburger and you either want it all gussied up or plain as the nose on your face. Once again, Burger Joint understands. That and you can eat your burger basking in the glow of a giant plastic zebra. I think the zebra gives it a little something extra.

    It seems wrong to knock a star off a place called Burger Joint over fries but it's the only thing that seems to be inconsistent here. Sometimes they are perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside – just right if you will; sometimes they are just crispy- burned through and through some might say. Although, this is always salvaged by an appropriate amount of salt and presentation in a paper bag. As it should be.

    Anyone who likes a weeknight burger at Burger Joint is probably alright by me.

  5. You're not a basic bitch, but you love basic done right.

    If you want your burger to be about the meat and not the bells and whistles that the herd want, then you've found your place.

    Basic to you means the best flavor and It doesn't mean burgers disguised in sauce and toppings; That's for the common folk and you have an elevated palate. What makes this perfect for you?

    The quality. From the perfect ratio of lean to fat, the basic/perfect bun, and the basic and necessary toppings, to the consistent taste. City vs Burbs. Calvin Klein vs. Herve Leger. New York vs. LA. Style or basic bitch.

    What your taste level is …dictates your preference. Stand up and be counted, Felecia.

  6. While it was a very hectic and busy night, my experience here at Burger Joint was disappointing. The server was very rude when taking our order. Our drinks came out very quickly, and after waiting for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, our fries never came out as the server forgot to put the order in. We decided to cancel our fries and call it a night.

  7. I've been here a lot and the burgers are def consistent but I think they went up a dollar in price. Not the best but seasoned well and cooked the way I want it. Their fries are like McDonald's fries but needs salt, which I actually prefer over super salty and they give you a tttooooooooonnnnnn. The pickles are super yum but sometimes too salty. I love sitting at the bar, the bartenders are usually nice and have good customer service skills. Apparently they now have waiters in the back seating area but she sucked. If you're in the area it's a great place to grab a burger and a beer. It's never super crowded but unfortunately not open late nights. Overall it's just an average burger …um…. joint.

  8. A very fine cheeseburger. Kinda beach shack feel. Lovely staff.

    The only small criticisms are the shake was too sweet for me, and it'd be nice if there was a veggie option on the menu.
