    We stopped by for a quick lunch before the Met. Really wasn't expecting much from a place that serves 3 different cuisines, but was honestly pleasantly surprised. I got the grilled chicken sandwich, and it was overall well put together. Well seasoned, flavorful, with a super well toasted rye. I just wish it wasn't a triple decker; way too much bread for the amount of filling. The fries were also super super good; thick cut, but super crispy, with a really tender inside. We also got a chili burger, with the chili being surprisingly good. Service was relatively slow given that we were the only customers, but it is just one chef. Overall, will stop by if in the area and need a quick fix!

    Two for $8.90 made to order. Pork American cheese and lettuce. 08/17/21

    Burger 1 is a familiar business name to me. I never tried it because I thought it was just burgers. I've seen this Taco place for years and years. It's very small inside and the scaffolding hides it. I didn't know it was Burger 1. I've been passing by recently and today when my lunch plan fell through I went in for Taco Tuesday. It's really like an old school Mom and Pop place. I could order my tacos anyway I wanted. I eat very plain and the spice in the pork was just enough zip for me. I added American Cheese and shredded lettuce. The tacos were double shells of corn. They both felt heavy in the bag. I went outside and found a table nearby. They sure hit the spot after a busy morning. I'm recommending you try this place. The menu is very extensive. The menu is posted on the front of the business outside and inside above the grill. Check it out. It was more money than I would pay for a meal like this but it's worth it for fast friendly service with fresh food made to order!

    Grilled Cheese Sandwich - very good
    Melissa P.

    We ordered delivery and ordered the following: -grilled cheese: this was really good, the perfect amount of butter and cheese and the price was so reasonable. Finally, a restaurant in the city that doesn't overcharge for a grilled cheese. -philly cheesesteak: this was good, but it could use more steak and melted cheese. There is a ton of bread, but not enough filling. The fries that came with this were amazing though. -chocolate shake: this was great. It wasn't melted upon arrival despite how hot it is outside. Overall, I would recommend this place.

    Great prices for nyc but sort of bland taste! Burger was an ok size and accompanied it with an egg sandwich for $3 to fill me up and meet $10 CC minimum

    It is a cold Sunday afternoon and this place has only take out. The burger looks good and because of their have no seat so I take the burger back to my car and eat inside. The burger taste delicious but I wish they have seats outside.

    YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD GREASY SPOON/ HOLE-IN-THE-WALL DINER... it's a real shame that i don't live nearby! i was lured in with an KGB deal! (which stated that lunch was take-out only BUT the workers were so accommodating they let us sit-in!) 8 oz burgers, mexican food, sandwiches, pastries, breakfast-fare (all typical of a joint like this!) -----THEY CUSTOMIZE BREAKFAST BURRITOS: i had a LONG list of ingredients & they were glad to fill my order! sausage (the breakfast link ones i love!), onions, jalapenos, cheddar, eggs, and mushrooms... YUM although it was much smaller than i expected! -----8 oz cali burger: like the sear & meat texture, although the meat was kind of bland! there's only a few counter seats facing the kitchen & along the opposite wall, so i can imagine the workers developing a relationship with their customers! NOTE: call before you come in because I think they close early if business is slow!

    Carnitas taco
    Heather G.

    Mexican and burgers...TOGETHER?!?!?! K sure. Total hole in the wall with a tiny dining area comprised of two rather short counters. Burger was delicious, although if you put avocado on anything I'll eat it without complaint, so even if the burger was less than stellar I'd have enjoyed it, ha. Fries were above average for a burger place, and cooked to order so they were blistering hot and crispy. The taco was typical authentic Mexican street taco style, although $2.75 is a little high for what it was (usually I pay about $2 for the same thing, but given that this is the city and not Long Wharf in New Haven or the podunk little Mexican place by where I work in suburbia Connecticut, I suppose I get it) The green hot sauce is no friggin joke, if you're a wimp on the spice scale, forget it. Cilantro and onions were aplenty, which makes me super happy. Carnitas were delicious too. If you're in the area and are jonesing for a burger, eschew Shake Shack and walk the few blocks here. No wait, and more food for the same price. (Also when an ethnic type food joint is actually frequented by people of that particular type, always a good sign and testament to the food.)

    Carnitas Burrito with avocado, shredded mozzarella cheese, rice and baked beans.

    A very small, discreet, hole-in-the-wall place about the size of a one-car garage that has only one line cook and one cashier. Barstools seat about 8-9 people: 4-5 at the counter and 4 by the mirror opposite (the stool in the corner is anchored to the floor). The seating arrangements feel cozy when there is no line to order, but prepare to surrender all of your personal space when there is. Ordered a carnitas burrito for $6+ at 2 PM on a Saturday afternoon while visiting the Met. I enjoyed the soothing hum of electric fans and Spanish-language news while waiting. Filling but not heavy, my burrito was roughly the size of a Chipotle burrito and contained sliced avocado, baked beans, shredded mozzarella, and rice. Credit card minimum: $10.

    Maybe more like 3.5? Had a craving for a juicy burger and was at least satisfied here. Ordered an egg on top, which I preferred would of been over-easy but came out hard (maybe I should've specified). Burger was juicy/greasy but could of used a little more flavor. Nice plain bun to soak up some grease. Prices are increased from the pics on here, I believe it was about ~$12 for a bacon cheeseburger with egg no sides (not deluxe with tomato, onions etc). Seems like a good local spot though with a bunch of regulars passing through.

    My friend and I came to PJ Clarke's to watch the Knicks in the NBA Finals, and despite the…read moredisappointing outcome of the game, we had a great night. We were thrilled to find two seats at the end of the bar when we arrived. As luck would have it, the two gentlemen next to us eventually left, allowing us to slide over and enjoy an even better view of the TV for the rest of the game. I started with a Tito's and club soda, but unfortunately, something seemed off--perhaps the club soda was flat. The drink just wasn't good. To their credit, the bartender took it back without hesitation and was very accommodating. I then ordered a Negroni after the woman sitting next to us highly recommended it. I don't usually drink gin, but this cocktail was absolutely delicious and changed my mind. Since we were there for several hours, we shared an order of zucchini and eggplant chips and happily snacked on them throughout the game. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, with a nice mix of ages and people enjoying the evening. We made sure to leave our bartender a generous tip since we occupied our seats for the entire game. Even though the Knicks didn't pull out a win that night, we certainly didn't leave defeated. I'd happily return for another game, cocktail, and fun evening out. And maybe even get dinner there. Little did I know there was another big room in the ack once you past the restrooms. They were having a thriving business there!

He was constantly busy zippin around but maintained a nice demeanor and made everyone feel welcome! Must orders of mine: the burger! Although small, it comes out piping hot and the fresh white onion between the bottom bun and burger is awesome because it doesn't make the bottom bun soggy and catches all the juices from the actual meat. Love subbing the fries for a Caesar salad! Standout appetizer is the fried zucchini and eggplant with tzatziki-- crispy, hot, juicy and I get it every time!
