  • I went here (Jan 2011) full of expectation for a cheap burger of good quality as the description talks of "Picture Perfect" $5 offerings. Unfortunately, the cheapest burger is nearly $8 and comes with nothing else. Fries are very expensive and nothing special. A simple meal with a drink ended up at nearer $15. The burgers are OK at best but not special and rather small by New York standards. To be honest with McDonalds now offering a Prime Angus Deluxe at $4.49 (1/3 lb) then you really need to want to sit in the "Kitsch" surroundings to find any reason to go here. On the subject of which, Kitsch seems to be used to describe a graffiti laden, aged and rather unclean looking eatery that would probably not look out of place as a Youth Club in an inner city school and to that end the Hotel obscures the entrance behind curtains. You will need to ask the lobby staff to point it out. I am really not sure what arrangement sees The Burger Joint keep its position in the Hotel what I am sure though is only those slavishly following critics choices irrespective of their own ability to think are really likely to walk out of this "joint" with anything other than varying degrees of disappointment. If you want a good value burger at a good price in interesting surroundings then I would suggest you look elsewhere. You know the expression "if it looks too good to be true" well, pursuing the offer of a $5 burger I fell into that trap !
