We catered from brindle room and they gave us a Smorgasburg of different items! The pasta was absolutely incredible! The fries were also really great! I will definitely come back to the sit down restaurant to try some of the other food! read more

Best burger in the city hands down! Nothing prepared me for this magical experience except for a coworker who had told me about it! It's definitely worth the trek and they have two types of burgers. The moment you bite into it, you are taking a foodgasm experience! Just please come here and try the burger! read more

Chloe the bartender is sweet, efficient and attentive. Mixes a great cocktail. The ambiance is marred by a large American flag. In this political climate does not make for a comfortable environment. read more

SO after repeated attempts to eat again at the Brindle Room, we finally found them open. We kindly told them about how we got stood up by them repeatedly (see previous review) and they offered no explanation or apology for the inconvenience. Ok, whatever. But when we sat down and looked through the menu, it's completely different than it used to be with absolutely no vegetarian option (unless you want to eat a plate of Brussel sprouts for dinner). Meat only. The waitress told us maybe there will be a veggie burger in a couple of weeks, but when we checked back they told us nahhhh, owners want to keep the menu "limited". WTF? No veggie option in the East Village? I think we may give up on this place, even though we like to keep our spending local... : ( read more

I cannot say enough about Brindle Room - an EV staple , exceptional vibe (the new booths and red lighting are PERFECT) and the best burger, like legit. Perfect size, prep and flavor - this burger has made me pass on burgers at other places so I can "save it" for when it counts, yes, at Brindle. Staff is delightful as is the owner and if you don't like burgers, the rest of the menu is amazing too. Love it here, perfect for friends, date night, winter, summer - just rad. All the stars for Brindle! read more

Came here on a Friday night around 630pm. There were plenty of free tables, but because we didn't have a reservation, the only option was to sit at the bar. The bar is small with less than 10 stools. The bartender was very busy but took our orders. We got the cheese burgers medium rare. Although they looked small, the burgers were absolutely delicious. Cooked to perfection and juicy AF. Would definitely return for the burger. read more

Blue cheese burger is a perfect blend of flavor with their perfectly cooked burger and truffle fries read more

Quality burgers as shown and consumed by me on many occasions. I would like for them to be open for lunch as they were before

Such a great spot. Apparently they have moved locations over the past two months and this new one is really cute! Extremely attentive and quick service, nice staff and the food was amazing. I will definitely be back and taking others here read more

New location alert! This is my first time here, but I'm learning about their recent move now. I saw Guy Fieri pull up his red convertible here on Triple D and made a note to come here in my phone. You never know if the famous guy is getting better service and food than a civilian like myself, but I can confirm it was PERFECTION!!! BURGER, FRIES, HOMEMADE HOT SAUCE?! It's all in my body now. (Still not sure where Guy parked though.) read more

Brindle Room - I used to hate pickles, but now I like them, so I can see how this is a slick move. - Bars Near Me - New York, New York

I have always loved The Brindle Room! One of my top spots in NYC. Everything on the menu from the legendary burgers to the bacon wrapped dates are incredible. And it's one of the only places I can get a proper Old Fashioned! Stop reading and get down here! read more

A wonderful place with a joyous vibe. The fries and the cheeseburger are glorious, and the service is so friendly and warm, I immediately felt as if I were friends with the owners, though it was my first time, and I ate alone. A gem in the East Village! read more

Food was great. Dates and sprouts for starters. Burgers, truffle fries and steak for dinner. We all loved every bite. There were not many people there when we got there at 7:30. The service was fast and attentive. The restaurant holds maybe 50 and by the end it was 1/3 full. Still plenty of room. We went on a Tuesday night in early spring. We would highly recommend. read more

Probably on the low end of the four star range. Hadn't been there since pre-covid. Liked the atmosphere, which was quiet, and with the doors open to let the breeze come in. Went with a couple other folks. Food was very good, not great, but small portions. Burger seemed way smaller than in previous years, all three of us said the exact same thing when we saw it. Would rather they just raise the price and give a proper burger. Thankfully they give a generous amount of fries, which is admittedly filler, but a good one. Still food was good and would go back again to try some other food and have a beer. read more

One of the best dining experiences I've had in a while. Incredible fare, ridiculously delicious cocktails, and a banger staff! Very cool East Village haunt for sure...and a place I will be returning to for many years to come! read more

One of the few restaurants I've been a repeat customer! Love the food here, top notch along with the service

Amazing dinner! Everything on the table was delicious. We had the baked oysters, steak, blue cheese burger, and spaghetti. Do not miss the tuna tostadas or the chocolate mousse, they were superb. read more

The night started off fine- good drinks and appetizers came pretty quickly. We then proceeded to wait 30 minutes for our medium cooked burgers to come out, all of which were completely raw on the inside. We asked burger eaters around us if they were having the same issue, but their burgers were cooked to their liking. I'm not sure what happened with our burgers- the waitress must've forgotten about our order. However, she was nice and took it off the bill. read more

Brindle Room - Raw meat. - Bars Near Me - New York, New York

This is one of the best burgers in the city, their duck confit poutine, when they make it, is also extraordinary. This is not why I am writing. They have a brunch, or at least, the rumor of a brunch, on Saturdays and Sundays. Lora called Friday before last to verify this, as they serve the lesser iteration of the poutine referenced before, made with pork, for brunch. On that Saturday we brought four people, and arrived about 45 minutes after they were supposed to open, and the doors were locked, and lights were off. A few minutes after we got there, another couple arrived, they were equally surprised that the restaurant was closed, as they too had verified that brunch was happening. 10 minutes or so after we arrived, a bar back arrived, and unlocked the door. We could hear the phone ringing, as Lora was still trying to call them. We decided waiting was fruitless, so we headed back to the UES, where we got food a Dylan Murphy's. read more

EXTREMELY CONCERNED about the potential closure of our beloved Brindle Room. It's August, and while many places take a break, I've noticed Brindle Room has been nearly empty during my recent visits. In contrast, that BS Italian place next door always seems packed. I hope my fears are unfounded, but I have a sinking feeling about this. Now, onto the burger--it's unparalleled. I've tried them all: Peter Luger, Burger Joint, Hamburger America, Balthazar, you name it. While I enjoy many, none come close to Brindle Room's perfection. The aged meat, seared with a formidable crust, cooked to perfection, nestled in an unassuming bun with minimal toppings like caramelized onions that straddle tradition and refinement. The quality of the hand-ground aged beef speaks for itself. The proportions are flawless, the taste divine. Is there a better measure of a burger's greatness than burying your face in the very napkin that contains the essence of beef fat that drips from hands and face just to get another wiff of greatness? No. There is not, and shame on you for judging me as I smell my napkin in public. Yes, fries, yes bacon wrapped dates, yes most everything on the menu, but more importantly, yes to relaxed vibe with reasonable prices as I'd easily pay double for this burger in a shithole place. If Brindle Room shuts down, it's official: NYC has officially jumped the shark. read more

My brother knows burgers, and I love finding spots he hasn't been to in his city! Using my algorithm I parsed though numerous locations around the island and landed on this gem, the Brindle Room by Chef Jeremy Spector. I already had our menu planned before we arrived, and we added more! Our feast included the SEBASTIAN'S STEAKHOUSE BURGER [caramelized onions, american cheese, served medium. Comes with fries], FRIED PICKLES [as good as they sound], DATES [bacon wrapped, goat cheese stuffed], and the HOUSE MADE SPICY QUESO [corn tortillas, salsa macha]. We were blown away by all of it, and trust me we practice burgers. Once stuffed I asked if the legend was in the kitchen and if we could meet him. Not only did we snap one for the gram but we discussed burger techniques, how he makes his blend, and laughed at all of the variations in the market today. I already ranked the spot 10/10 before our chat, after, I wish I could go higher. My picky AF brother agreed! Then we smashed our beers and hit the dispensary! read more

ATTENTION ALL NEW YORKERS: The best burger in NYC has re-emerged in the East Village and you all need to come and get it. We tried this place for the first time a few nights ago and we knew it was a good sign when we overheard a woman sitting outside with her family call over the chef to tell him that his burger was the best she had ever had. Chef Jeremy is amazing and supremely dedicated to his craft of making the perfect burger as well as perfect versions of everything on the menu! We tried the bacon wrapped date and smoked wings apps, both of which were en pointe or on pointe for you millenials. His steakhouse burger is a masterpiece - ask him how he makes his burger and he will tell you (or just YouTube Jeremy Spector and burger) - it has a certain "funk" to it from the 10% suet he uses in the mix - and it's a good "funk". The accompanying fries were immaculately cooked, crispy, and perfectly seasoned!!!! Extra bonus: he now offers doggie food for delivery to those New York dog obsessed owners!!! Don't walk, RUN to the Brindle Room. You will not be disappointed. read more

Got a burger w/ fries delivered and it's phenomenal. This is easily one of my favorite burgers in NYC.

I am usually happy with both the food and the service here, but last night, my friend and I had an unfortunate experience. I ordered the NY Strip Steak au poivre medium. It was overcooked, which i could have overlooked, but it was insanely salty. I am a person that enjoys seasoned food and doesn't mind a little extra salt, but this beyond any level of acceptable. My friend ordered the Salmon with a side of Kale. The fish was very overcooked as well, and while my plate was covered in salt, hers was so bland that she had to order salt and pepper which didn't seem to help as most of her dinner remain on the plate. We also order a side of roasted mushrooms to share (as recommended by our server). They were served in a small bowl in lots of juices and had a slimy texture that isn't typical for a "roasted" mushroom. We should have complained but we bit our tongues because dinner here is usually delicious. Perhaps the chef was out ill? I don't know, but we will surely investigate before going back. read more

Great ambience, fried pickles, ribs and burgers! Not what I expected after seeing on DDD. This was much nicer.

We've eaten here a bunch of time as a couple, and with family and friends. Easy enough to book a table or to walk in as a couple. Several menu items come and go with the seasons, so there's always something new to try. Everything we've ordered here is consistently good and although the burgers may look small when they arrive at the table, they aren't. Cooked to MR perfection every time. The veggie burger could use some fine tuning but we appreciate that one is offered. Nice dining room - ambient sound doesn't drown out dinner conversation. The staff is pleasant and the service good. We'll keep coming back. read more

An incredible post-COVID triumph -- Brindle Room finally re-opened its doors, albeit a few blocks East in a bigger space once occupied by another esteemed burger establishment (Virginia's). Brindle Room's Sebastian Steakhouse burger is just as delectable as I remember -- and still very much worthy of a top 10 designation -- distinguished by its thick/perfectly seasoned patty, gooey American cheese and stewy caramelized onions. The bun, however felt a bit dry -- my only complaint for an otherwise near-flawless construction. Highly recommend overall (and the smoked wings, too). read more

The food is good but they are not very good about reservations. Even if you have a reservation you should expect to be kept waiting.

Very good hamburger and fries. I loved the dates appetizer. The service was excellent. Very nice ambiance. .

All hail The Brindle Room! May she forever triumph over pathogens! May she continue to bring reasonable prices and fabulous food to our great city for many years to come! No better burger in the city, especially when you consider the fries!!! read more

The food here is incredible. The burger is one of the best I've had in NYC! The steak au poivre and porchetta style baby back ribs are also fantastic. Everything we've tried here has exceeded our expectations and been absolutely delicious. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Not sure how all the reviews say this is the best burger. Mine was burnt on the outside. Raw on the inside. 7th street burger way better for 1/3 of the price, read more

my husband has long raved about the burger here (based on previous location) and I was worried the experience wouldn't live up to the expectation but it sure did! The burger was incredible- we have gone to all the top rated in the city and this is the favorite for us both. I also had the spaghetti pomodoro which was so delicious. We will be back asap :) read more
