I like 5napkin Burger. To be honest, it's a bit pricey for a burger joint, but that's the trend these days. I was most impressed that it's no hassle to request turkey (instead of beef) for your burger. And even more impressed that there's one that comes with taleggio cheese. It has a tangy, nutty flavor that I did not expect. I'm always up for a culinary adventure, and my palate thanked me! Everything I had was delicious! The onion rings, the teriyaki wings, and ultimate treat of the evening - my "adult" milkshake. It was cookies and cream with some extra yummyness that I do not remember specifically lol All in all, good food. The service was good as well. read more

i only got the five napkin burger to go, but the inside was really cute. to go order was roughly a 15 minute wait. FOOD: not good, the burger was dry and the bread was cold. there was no real flavor when biting into the burger, just felt like overcooked meat with too much garlic aoili and average bread. I thought it would taste better given the price read more

5 Napkin Burger - Chocolate milkshake - Burgers Near Me - New York, New York

I can say, after so many visits, this 5 Napkin Burger location is my favorite and this is definitely one of the first places I will consider when I am craving a well made burger. Service here is always good, they are friendly and very attentive, definitely fast workers too. Ambiance is good, the place is always a little loud and a little intimate at the same time, specially if you come after sunset when they light up candles at each table. Really love it here!!!! read more

Ordered the food for pick up. Had a very easy and friendly experience. Everyone was very nice. The burger was huge and I think a good value. Overall would recommend and cooked to my liking. The truffle fries were not crispy and were only ok. The chocolate cake was huge and overall pretty moist although the frosting was too sweet. Would recommend. read more

It's been a while since I've had 5 Napkin Burger. I remember when there was a location near Union Square. I was in the mood for a burger and drink. I honestly wished that fries were included with the burger. I had the Bacon Cheddar Burger and it was well prepared and delicious. For drinks, I had the Pomegranate Margarita and Samuel Adams beer. I enjoyed the drinks and burger. The wings were on the salty side and the Truffle Parmesan fries were heavily drenched in truffle and parmesan. They can definitely scale back on the amount of parmesan and truffle they use. The server was very attentive and the restaurant was pretty quiet for a Thursday night. I'll return to try other options on the menu. I'll just get regular fries next time. read more

Very solid burger! The pumpkin spice milkshake was exceptional, my personal favorite item we got. We were told it was made with real pumpkin puree! Fries were so so. Great server, prompt timing on food. We were seated outside and were surrounded by scaffolding but they had it decorated nicely. read more

Came in on a Friday night, seated quickly and proceeded to have one of the better burgers I've had in a while. Ordered the Truffle, was delish. We did order a side of onion rings that were great. Server was very attentive and everyone was very kind! Very relaxed environment would recommend. Only gripe, but this is more NYC than this particular place, is I wish burgers were automatically served with fries. read more

We went to 5 Napkin Burger on a Saturday afternoon around 3 PM with our friends (two moms and two kids), and it was such a pleasant surprise. There was plenty of seating, which made it easy for our group to get settled without waiting. Our server was patient and attentive, even with our two rambunctious girls running around. The service made the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming. I loved the crunchy pickles they serve at the table--they were the perfect snack while we waited. We ordered a variety of dishes: I had the crispy cauliflower bites, the girls shared french toast, grilled cheese, and fries from the kids menu, and my friend got eggs, bacon, toast, and potatoes. Everything was very good--comforting, flavorful, and satisfying. By the time we left, our table was empty, and we all left feeling full and happy. I'm looking forward to coming back with my own family of four. I was surprised by how large the menu was and how much it had to offer. I always assumed it was just a burger place, but it's really a full-service diner with wonderful food. Highly recommend, especially for a casual family meal or place to catch up with friends! read more

I choked on their steak salad, passed out from choking on the floor, was rushed to he ER, had a concussion and 5 napkin burger did not even refund me for tough steak they put in the salad, were not apologetic at all. never eat a steak anything at that restuarant - they serve cheap steak that you will choke on. read more

Listen, kid, pull up a chair--no, not that one, that one wobbles like a three-legged greyhound--and let me tell you something about burgers. I been around, alright? I've seen things. Yonkers, Monticello, a brief and regrettable flirtation with Atlantic City... point is, I know meat. Camel smoke curls--you smell that? That's wisdom. That and a little Cutty Shark sweating through a paper cup. Doctor says cut back. I says, "Doc, you ever tried livin' without flavor?" Conversation over. Now--burgers. Everybody's got a burger. Every schmuck with a flat-top thinks he's curing cancer between two buns. But there are levels, kid. Levels. You got your one-napkin burgers. Dry. Sad. Like chewing on a library book. You eat it, you forget it, you question your life choices. Then--then--you graduate. Two napkins. Now we're talkin'. Juice shows up to the party, maybe says hello, maybe shakes your hand, nothing crazy. But a three-napkin burger? Ooof. I've had a few in my day. A few. And lemme tell you--they were money. Drippin' down the wrist, little collateral damage on the shirt, but you don't care. That's a burger with ambition. That's a burger that says, "Yeah, I might ruin your dry cleaning, but you'll thank me later." Four napkins? Rare air. That's like hittin' a trifecta blindfolded while your bookie's yellin' in your ear. You don't plan for it. It just... happens. You sit there afterward, hands lookin' like you just changed the oil in a Buick, and you think, "I have seen God." But then... then... You hear whispers. Rumors. Guys at the track talkin' low, like it's contraband. "Five Napkins," they say. I'm thinkin', what is this, a joke? Five napkins? What are we, detailin' a car or eatin' lunch? So I go. Of course I go. I'm not dead yet. I sit down, order the burger. Guy brings it out like he's carryin' a newborn. There's a hush. I swear to you, a hush. First bite--first bite--and it's like the Hoover Dam gave up. Juice everywhere. Structural integrity? Forget it. This thing collapses like a bad alibi. I'm laughin', kid. I'm laughin' like a man who just beat the odds. Napkin one--gone. Two--gone. Three--I'm in survival mode now. Four--this is gettin' biblical. By five? By five I'm not even a person anymore. I'm an event. I'm a situation. And here's the thing--they knew. They knew what they were doin'. This ain't sloppy by accident. This is engineering. This is art. This is a burger that looks you in the eye and says, "You don't eat me. You endure me." So yeah. You go ahead, try your little artisanal whatever with the aioli and the personality crisis. That's fine. Live your life. But don't come to me--don't come to me--until you've gone the distance. Until you've stared down five napkins and come out the other side changed. Now pass me that cup. The ice melted, but the message didn't. read more

I had an amazing experience at Five Napkin Burger the night before Thanksgiving. I expected it to be packed, but to my surprise it wasn't crowded at all. My party of three checked in without a reservation, and we were seated within two minutes -- huge win already. I wanted to try everything on the menu, but I settled on the Caesar salad with salmon. My son ordered the bacon burger, my daughter had wings and onion rings, and we shared sweet potato fries. Every single thing came out hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Not a crumb was left on any of our plates. Our server was honestly one of the best I've ever had. Super friendly, attentive, and on point the entire time. The rest of the staff was great too: welcoming, helpful, and keeping everything clean and running smoothly. The vibe in this place is just cool. We sat in a booth by the front windows and got to watch all the hustle and bustle outside while enjoying the chill music overhead and the game playing on the TV. The bar area looked really fun too. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating (we stayed inside because it was cold & rainy) but I can definitely see myself coming back in warmer weather to sit outside. Prices were fair, food was fantastic, and the overall atmosphere works for literally anything...solo meal, family dinner, date night, or just hanging out with the kids. Five Napkin Burger is one of those places where the vibe just fits whatever you need it to be & I love that! read more

I could have sworn I reviewed 5 Napkin Burger, but clearly I haven't. Used to frequent this spot when I was working and living in the UWS. When I moved to midtown, their other location was closer but still a decent trek so didn't go as often. I never had to wait too long for a table, and it was always clean. Some food in the floor, but the staff usually cleans it up quickly. It's a pretty lively vibe and the staff is attentive. The burgers are the star, obviously, but don't miss their fries and sides either. read more

So I was in the mood for a burger and a nice mimosa so I strolled over to 5 Napkin to satisfy this craving. They have 2 for 1 mimosas all week until 4pm! So that was great. And I went for a Cheeseburger with an over easy egg to give it some juice and it was good as were the crinkle cut fries. My friend enjoyed the Chocolate layered cake too. Overall it was a cool meal. Bartender was cool and accommodating. There was some decent music playing lightly in the background. Glad it wasn't blasting. So if you're in the mood for a burger try this spot out. If you're in the mood for a mimosa this is definitely a great spot for it. Enjoy your day! read more

Five Napkin in Hell's Kitchen is so lucky to have manager Mia. My daughter and I just popped in for our favorite kale salad with a burger, and Mia came over just to greet us and remembered us from our last visit.

Popped into this burger spot on a Saturday around brunch time and didn't have to wait for a table. The restaurant itself is quite spacious - we sat a booth which was very comfy and conducive to conversation. In terms of the menu, there was something for everyone - it seemed to be a mix of burgers and some Asian-inspired influence (sushi??). I got the katsu burger which had a piece of chicken katsu, kimchi, and a great slightly spicy sauce. I do wish it had come with fries or chips, though. read more

We came here tonight with no reservation and were seated almost immediately. The host and the server, Jack, were both warm and attentive. We had the 5 Napkin burger and grilled chicken sandwich. Both were really good. We also had the dark chocolate cake which slapped. For some reason there is also a sushi bar inside too. I would love to come back again but it is kinda far. Would def recommend if you're in the UWS area. read more

Gorgeous restaurant in Upper East side neighborhood. During Sunday lunch hours, we were able to get a table without waiting. There are both indoor and outdoor seating, and a very beautiful large bar area. We got pancakes, wings and Patty melt. Pancakes were little dry, wouldn't have nice if they were moist and softer. The wings were on the decent, would have liked that to me moist as well, but the salad and garlic parmesan sauce were good. The Patty melt was the best item. Really nice toast, with lots of paddy and cheese. We ordered the blueberry mint lemonade and strawberry milkshake as well. Both were excellent. Throughout the dining, we had a tough time finding our server, but thankfully other servers were around to help us. read more

It wouldn't be a standard, warm autumn New York evening without al fresco dining at a 5 Napkin Burger. If you're not in the mood for booze, their Patty Melt matched perfectly with their lemonade. Be as nostalgic for summer as you can in this weather read more

I went here for dinner date with my boyfriend. The restaurant was quite packed for a random Wednesday night, but I get the hype. We started off with the Parmesan artichoke dip with chips. It was so creamy and delicious. For dinner, I had the classic cheeseburger with pepper jack cheese. I ordered it well done and they managed to cook it that way, but also managed to make sure it had a bit of that juice in the burger..it was quite delicious. The crinkle cut fries were fresh and tasty, with the perfect amount of salt. My boyfriend had their five napkin burger, which he thoroughly enjoyed. You have to order fries as a separate side of 5 dollars for the small, which I think is a bit overpriced when one of the burgers alone cost 21 bucks. When I used the restroom, it was a bit untidy. Nevertheless, it's a calm spot for dinner. This order with a seltzer and an angry orchid beer costed us $68 before tip. read more

First time visiting this place. Very good! Burgers were perfect; quick friendly service. Clean. No wait. We'll be back.

In my honest opinion this is my first time eating there . The French fries were overdone and salty the chicken wings was also a bit on the salty side . The grilled cheese was ok and the vanilla milk shake was ok . I had the blueberry mint lemonade and it was ok . The service was not bad but not excellent. Would I give them another try ? Maybe not . And I went there at 3:00 on a Thursday. So it was not busy at all . The waiter checked on us a few times just to make sure we were ok . read more

This place is a joke. The food is so mediocre for the price and the portion size is SO small. The so called "jumbo wings" on the appetizer menu are the smallest most shriveled up wings I've ever ordered. It actually hurt my soul to think that 1 of these wings were $2 each... we got the Nashville hot sauce which was super bleh and not flavorful either. I got the Cali Reuben which again was soo tiny and comes with nothing in addition. The best thing I had was the sweet potato fries which also was not worth... All in all there's literally no reason why you'd come here bc the food is nothing special, the prices are high, and there's literally a maison's pickles next door that's significantly better. read more

Came here on a Sunday and was lucky to be treated by Michelle the bartender - she was so lovely and warm, welcoming, etc. Truly a fantastic person and should be recognized for that. I'll be trying to contact them separately to let them know bc she genuinely deserves praise. Michelle's drinks (I got martinis) were fantastic. She was an excellent bartender. Exactly as I wanted them prepared - and I'm picky when it comes to my martinis!! The food was unfortunately just okay - the fries were good but the boneless chicken wings were bland and I found both of the sauces to be too spicy without much flavor to back them up. With that said, I ordered everything off the happy hour menu so it was like half price. Would I come back? Def not during regular hours but happy hour sure. read more

Picked up some takeout the other day and was pleasantly surprised. The reviews are all of the place for this location, but it's so convenient being located right on 84th and Broadway, it's right in between my sons apt and my hotel. Tuna Poke nachos came packed with lots of fresh Tuna, tomatoes, avocado, Hints of fresh lime, ginger and soy sauce it comes in a separate container so the fresh chips don't get soggy. This dish was surprisingly good. Roasted Brussel Sprouts take the prize! These were to die for! Sautéed in a Thai vinaigrette, with peanuts and sprinkled with red chili flakes. These are totally worth a try. Everything was packed nicely including silverware and napkins. The menus pretty extensive for s burger place. A nice choice of good salads, and creative burgers. I heard the impossible burger is amazing. I'll be back and the have nice outdoor seating with heaters. read more

The food was 5 star!! We ordered the vegan chili fries and the grilled salmon. The chili fries were not over topped with chili and the chili wasn't too saucy. For us, this is perfect because we don't like soggy fries. The salmon was cooked to perfection. I requested to not have the chimichurri sauce because I prefer a naked salmon. It was divine. Then, there was the broccoli. The charred broccoli was the BEST broccoli I have ever had. Ever. It was so good I ordered a second side of it. The only reason I did not give a 5 star review was because of the lack of friendliness with the staff. The hostess appeared put out by us. The server was totally disengaged no matter how hard we tried to dialogue with him. Despite the service, the food is worth going for. You will also love the ambiance whether you chose to sit inside or out. read more

I was really hopeful about this place. A restaurant that's called five napkin burger sounds like it's going to be messy, greasy and absolutely delicious. The staff there is super nice. It's a small restaurant but we were able to get our entire party seated. I got the bacon burger and it was okay. It seemed to be missing a basic sauce to bring it all together. We also ordered their holiday St. Patrick's Day burger which is not bad. The shakes are amazing. The onion rings are awesome!!. And they have a kale salad. That's pretty good. That being said it wasn't bad but it wasn't what I was expecting for a burger joint. read more
