    Crack Kale
    Ethan P.

    Whitman's!! It's just so... comfy. Most of the seating is in their basement downstairs, which is small but feels so warm and inviting with its fun assortment of throwback Americana/NYC decor and the stack of well-loved board games they keep in the corner. For what it lacks in vibrancy, it certainly makes up for in warmth. Walking in is easy, and the food is exactly what you'd expect. The juicy lucy is imperfect -- the pimento cheese is a fun concept, but kind of ends up being its own big blob instead of mixing in with the burger like it's supposed to -- but I mean, it tastes great. The fries are a good portion and solid, and the crack kale is honestly fantastic: light, airy, melt-in-your-mouth kale with plenty of Old Bay flavor. A great neighborhood spot for a perfectly respectable burger!

    Smash Burger

    Whitmans has propelled itself to the top of our smashburger list. This amazing smash deviated from the standard by lacking pickles, but we didn't even care. It's perfectly moist without being greasy, which is usually a con, but in this case, it was a major pro. The flavor was on point. The SIDES were AMAZING. The crust on the onion rings almost melted in my mouth, and the loaded tots were not only gorgeous but also delicious. They were giving gourmet with the smokey cheese and pieces of bacon. It is pretty expensive for a smash with a side, but it's worth it.

    After a show at UCB we came here for dinner. It was busy on a Friday night upstairs but downstairs was dead. I have been here a number of times but it has been a few years. I got the juicy Lucy which was excellent and the fried pickles which were also very good. The fries are amazing as well. It's like a rump room style downstairs which is fun. Definitely come here for burgers if you're in the area!

    Solid lunch spot in the neighborhood. The fries are far superior to the tater tots. Lamb burger was really tasty, but did think it was bizarre that the cheese came on the side. You can skip the fried pickles and just order some more fries.

    The ambiance was good and casual, great for friends. The service was not so good, took about 30 minutes to get the check. Food was decent, I would recommend getting a smash burger instead of the regular burger since the patty is very thick.

    Juicy Lucy

    Whitman's has a nice shack set up for outdoor seating with heat lamps for their three or so tables. It was a nice place for a cold Friday. We ordered a wedge salad and fried pickles to start. The pickles were very crispy and had a good sauce to go with it. The wedge salad was pretty good as well. I don't love blue cheese so I scraped a lot of the dressing off but the bacon bits went well with it. We shared the juicy Lucy burger between two of us. The burger was a bit smaller than I expected although it was quite heavy with all the cheese so we were still full at the end of the meal. Overall a cozy place to for outdoor dining. Service was a little slow although expected given COVID times.

    Bluicy and fries. $42.

    The Bluicy with soggy undercooked bacon and no drink $42. I usually go to the restaurant and have always liked their burgers. This time I tried delivery and this is what came.

    The smash burger and fries here are to die for. Pro tip: Come in on Tuesdays for free fries with every burger.

    Big fan of the cheesesteak. Seasoned well. Only opp would be that the fries are sometimes way over cooked when I order delivery.

    Amazing vibes and food! We got a lunch reservation and I was surprised at how busy the restaurant…read morestill was. Service was a bit slow but not an issue. The waiter was really nice. I ordered the non-alcoholic ginger drink, spicy rigatoni pasta and the truffles pasta and Monkey Bread. Everything was so light and fluffy. None of the food felt heavy or greasy. Would definitely come here again!

    Made a plan to reserve a table 21 days previous to when we would be in the city - and was able to…read morespike one. There is currently construction and scaffolding in front of the place, but you'll see signage where to go at the opening of the scaffolding. We walked in, past the bar and checked in. We were seated within 5 minutes. I ordered a bourbon old-fashioned and we ordered crab rangoon as a starter. There were a lot of them and the sweet chili sauce was great. For my entree, I ordered the vodka rigatoni and a side of buttered broccoli. The vodka rigatoni was really good - liked the flavor and a decent size of pasta. The broccoli was really good for some reason to me. Also tried the truffle mac and cheese which was incredibly rich and tasted great. As a dessert, we had the chocolate pie which was dense, rich, and topped with a huge dollop of whipped topping. I really liked the atmosphere of the place, loud roaring 20s style with jazz playing. Plus I kept finding myself checking out the mural on the wall. Try it for yourself - but worth the fight to get a table.
