I'm not sure if I have a devotion to the meat sandwich sciences or simply an uptight OCD-tinged approach, but often in a burger place (and at least once with cheese steaks) I feel like I have to get the plain on a first visit to truly measure the quality. I'm glad I broke the rules tonight. The spicy sauce and the pepper jack cheese did fine work on the Mexicali burger. The curly fries were decent. In a pleasant break from typical fast food beverage paradigms, they have their own bottled sodas, and not at Tribeca prices. read more

Smash burger very good. Swiss burger was good. Little dry and thin with the huge bun. Didn't try the rest. Fast and friendly service. Fair pricing. read more

I wanted something quick and this looked good. It's a small place right near the Canal St. subway station off the E line. There's some seating inside and outside. After ordering a single smash burger with an egg, I didn't have to wait long for my order to arrive. The food was slightly disappointing in my opinion. The taste wasn't bad. The bun was nicely toasted and the grilled onions were sweet. The meat was thin and dry. The egg wasn't runny but after thinking about it, I realized the menu never specified if it was runny or not. I had just assumed. The cheese melted well and added extra flavor. The special sauce tasted similar to thousand island dressing. Ultimately, it tasted like a better Big Mac from MacDonalds. I was starving so it was good but objectively it wasn't the best burger I've ever had. read more

(Overall: C) - I found Black Burger to be quite middle of the road. I've definitely had far worse burgers before, but their food does enumerate a number of culinary flaws that, if fixed, could be much more enjoyable. (Onion Rings: B) - This appetizer was quite enjoyable as it is a large portion that is freshly fried and piping hot, which pairs well with their barbeque sauce. One criticism is that the grease control could be improved. (Pineapple Teriyaki Burger: F) - The first time I had this burger, it was better, but this time there just appeared to be techical flaws after another. First, the patties were overcooked and dry. It's evident that the grill is too hot as the buns are burnt black. Then, the teriyaki sauce is too thin as the wrapping builds a pocket of liquid waiting to explode and make a mess everywhere. That being said, the concept of pineapple, bacon, and some fresh vegetable is a good one to create infuse some sweetness into the burger. -- Food: E Presentation: E Price: E Atmosphere: E Service: E Menu: E Overall: +0 C Insta/Beli/TikTok: @amei_eats read more

This place has clearly lost its touch. I stopped by on 4/20/26 with my Mom. We both ordered a turkey burger. We told the cook to make sure he seasons the patty...which of course we shouldn't have to do because that's something they should already be doing. There was one cook...not the normal cooks in use to seeing. So might be short of staff...I'm not sure. But the Burger was HORRIBLE. Not one drop of seasoning & they were out of salt . What a waste of money & it's so unfortunate this place has gone down hill. read more

Great burger, good shake, fries look better than they are. As another reviewer said, the fries have too much batter.

Needed something good to eat late-night and found this. Had the Hawaiian burger, and it was cooked very well. The ratio of fries to burger was excessive, but the fries were seasoned very well. The general sitting area was very tight and could use a good wipe down. If you're in the in the area, it's definitely worth stopping by. read more

Went here after I had an appointment around the area. To be honest I looked at the menu and reviews before ordering and decided to finally go with the smash burger double. The space is kind of tiny so it would be difficult to sit and eat here. I went with the combo which included curly fries and a small drink. Personally, the burger was OK. I've had better. It did not really feel juicy to me or tender. The fries were good and crispy. Overall not a bad option. read more

Ordered the Jack Black burger (pepper jack cheese with bacon, onion ring with lettuce, onion and special sauce. Coupled as a combo with a small soft drink and curly fries. A very generous serving of curly fries. Also ordered a vanilla shake with Reese cup blended with it. Burger has a great flavor and freshness to it. Very crispy curly fries, not over done. Just right. Wish I had gotten extra special sauce to dip my fries into, it taste great. Vanilla shake is a nice dessert to finish up this meal. read more

Glad this place exists for when I have a hankering for a good burger. Burgers are made to order juicy goodness; curly fries are crispy crunchy bringers of joy; service is friendly and quick. Limited seating indoors, a bit of seating outdoors; no frills burger joint for a solid burger. Their slogan is true: once you go black, you never go back! I'll be back! read more

Not for me. I ordered French fries. Only after him asking me if I wanted anything else! I said FRENCH FRIES! To which he should have said we only have CURLY!! So that went straight in the trash. There's no potatoes, just a lot of cornstarch. I had to clean my own table outside. All of them were dirty. And there was no effort seen to come clean them from the inside. The burger, I need the bun to be not so flimsy. I got impossible burger. And I waited extra extra long for it, even watching people eat their own meals, I sat outside and they never called my number. They wait for me to look into the window after so long and then held up my box of food. Finally tried this place after many years of walking by. I should have continued walking by! I spent $20.32. Ugh! read more

Ordered delivery for lunch at the office. Food came quick and properly labeled (a bunch of us got different things). I got the Swiss burger with an extra patty, then added an egg and avocado. My coworkers and I all loved our meals. The patty itself was juicy and well-seasoned. Will be ordering again! read more

I was in town from MD looking for a good turkey burger. I called to confirm that it was fresh and not a patty. I personally answering the phone told me it was fresh. I chose the spot specifically for that reason. Unfortunately, I was misled and it was not fresh it was a patty. So disappointed. I the bread and condiments were good but not the turkey burger. read more

The American Is amazing! The onion rings were surprisingly delicious! Great customer service and awesome bartender.

My go-to burger joint when I'm at work. While a little pricey, (I paid about $35 for two combos), it is hands down one of the best burgers in the area. Curly fries are crispy and flavorful. Limited seating but it wasn't a problem. read more

Normally if I want a burger and also save a few bucks, I'll go to a McDonald's. However after running the NYC Half Marathon earlier in the day, I decided to mix things up and check out Black Burger since it was located really close to where I was staying. It was a really small place. A little more than half of the restaurant was the kitchen. On the customer side of the counter there were some counter spots for you to eat your burger, but not enough for more than a few people. I wasn't feeling particularly hungry, so when it was my turn, I ordered just their Black Burger with cheese, cooked medium without any sides. I got the burger with their standard ingredients... lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, and house sauce. Keep in mind that they'll give you a discount if pay with cash. I hardly ever carry cash these days, so plastic it is! Once my order was up, I took it back to my room to eat. The single patty burger didn't look very impressive, but it did taste good. Also the bun didn't disintegrate while I was eating it. If I do come back here, I'll probably get a double cheeseburger or one of their specialty burgers. read more

Great greasy spoon burger and fries. Oh, and their thick shakes are really thick and good.

I got more fries then burger meat. Onion rings weren't good. Overpriced and definitely not worth it.

I've passed by Black Burger a hundred times but never gave it a thought. I was starving late night and looking for something open AND close to home so it would arrive quickly via Grubhub. SO glad I gave it a shot. Everything was delicious. Like really! The burger had a juicy & flavorful patty, great potato roll, and fresh toppings (added mushrooms were noms). Hands down better than Shake Shack or In&Out. I said what I said!! Curly fries are super yummy - perfect texture & seasoning - and the chocolate shake drool worthy with chocolate chunks in it. How is this not a nationwide chain!?? Will definitely be getting burgers here now that Breakroom closed in the neighborhood. read more

Decent Burger/Fries/Shake, but nothing above and beyond any other medium Had a late night dinner here. Lady behind the register was fantastic. Wish the food was at her level. Ended up getting the JackBlack Burger, medium curly cheese fries, and a chocolate shake with reeses/oreo. Burger was on par with any other fast casual joint in the city. The curly fries were cooked well, crispy outside/soft inside. The chocolate shake was okay. Most of the toppings weren't crushed enough to fit through the straw and/or were stuck at the bottom. Not rushing to go back, but def can see why this place has been around awhile. Convenient location off of Canal. read more

I placed an order online and my food was ready quicker than I expected. Your burger can be customized to your liking, from different options of cheese, meat and toppings.

The burgers here are on point. Fast friendly service and the standard cheeseburger comes with a super tasty sauce. I'll definitely be back.

Night shift crew at black burger is everything. Best late night burger in NYC. Jerry and Freddy hooked it the fuck up!!!!!!!

If I had dropped a tip in the jar after my order, I would have taken it back after my order arrived. The two guys that look exactly alike, brothers I'm told are about the most unprofessional pair of cackling hyenas I've ever endured, these two momo's are cooking and working directly in front of the customers behaving like that. Not one single word in English was used at any point during my time inside, I couldn't wait to get out of there and I should have -- right then and there. At no point did they stop the incessant and ear piercing offensive loudness of yelling and the counter girl and the box folder gladly joined in, modulating the other to sacrificial levels. Horrible behavior --- that is, anywhere in the civilized world. Now --- I could care less about the certified beef you use and tracking the meat all the way to the moon and back or wherever it began. Who really cares when your so poorly treated, why would I care? The beef in the Double Black Burger was far from special, or even average, indicating to me that what they sell may be different from what they promote. And the cast of misfits really puts an emphasis on even the smaller, seemingly inconsquential problems. Eg1: unclean floors, torn seat covers, cheap napkins, gummy floors, sticky counter, slimy sauce bottles, you get the point. The cheap bun fell apart in a moment upon any contact with any of the other parts, wet bun, wet lettuce wet burger, wet foil. This place is all wet and would never be a consideration again. Yet -- The title of Worst Burger and Worst Staff? Well --- that's too easy... Its this dump, and I can't wait to move that information down the Yelp line to all my buddies in forewarning. read more

This is a small burger place in LES Manhattan. There are very few places to sit, but the seating at the window offers a good spot for people watching while enjoying your burger. The food is so delicious too! I'm not a vegetarian yet, but I do try to limit my meat consumption, especially red meat. I tried the Veggie-licious Mexicali sandwich complete with bacon but with a veggie patty instead of beef. This burger was absolutely amazing! I definitely recommend trying it with the veggie patty! Also, their house sauce tastes great with the curly fries! Everything was freshly made to order. I think since I ordered a veggie burger instead of beef, I didn't feel weighed down afterwards but still was able to feel like I was indulging in a cheat day treat of burger and fries. It was quite a satisfying meal! I can't wait to go back and try some of the other items on the menu! read more

After going to the gym I decided to eat a burger on the way back to the hotel room because why not? I had already worked off the calories. I saw black burger and went in and was very surprised by the quality of the burger. The room itself is very small and only seats about 8 to 10 people total. it was a smaller Burger as far as burgers go so to be safe I ordered the double cheeseburger with bacon. It was just the right amount but a single Patty definitely would have been too small. The ingredients were fresh and although I'm not a big bread fan the bun was quality. they do have their own brand of root beer which I regret not trying since I am a root beer loving person. They do not offer a restroom to the public so I was not able to review that. all in all I would say it was a good experience and would encourage you to stop by however if you're hungry order two burgers or the double cheeseburger. They were very generous with the fries but I thought the fries were a little overcooked and too crunchy. I'm more of a soggy french fry person. Would I go back? Yes. What I order the fries again probably not. My rating system consists of a 3-star being exactly what you expected and neither good nor bad. A 4 means something was extra special and a 5 means you were blown away. A 2 star rating was disappointing and a 1-star rating is terrible read more

Black burger. Whoa. I was surprised by how great these burgers were. They need way more locations. Cause this is choice for sure! They have a bunch of options. I tried the Swiss burger with fries.

Lunch time summons a quality burger which Black Burger upholds to the quality, and juicy flavor. One black burger with cheese, lettuce, and tomato $5.99 was perfectly cooked medium without any dryness but abundant flavor. I desired red onions on my burger. The bun was plain and boring supermarket mass produced and purchased cheaply. My predilection is either brioche bread or sourdough bread. One bottle water $2.49 was surely overpriced indeed. Customer service is average but efficient without the ignore or apathetic cavalier attitude that I have grown so accustomed and intolerable. I would like to try their curly fries as it is something that I highly covet. Extremely limited seating which does not meet the NYC law requirement of providing facilities to patrons. read more

Heard great things about them and decided to try them out for lunch today and to my surprise they have daily special offers for lunch! Love that, esp. Since most people including myself get sick of eating the same thing all the time near the job. Come in with fast food expectations and not restaurant expectations and you won't be disappointed; it just costs more than your McDonalds and Burger Kings. Food: The burgers are freshly made on the spot and delicious and the size is smaller than a whopper. Their sodas are self service for refills and they cant seat much people if you are thinking about the dine in experience. I heard they're milkshakes are pretty good, esp the strawberry flavor and they give large portions for fries. So I will have to come back to try those and see for my self. read more

Pretty good. Straight forward fast-food burger joint. Really yummy milkshakes. Used to go there all the time in high school.
