Send

Burgers are a classic in American cuisine and burgers in New York, one of the bites you can't miss. And you can not leave the city without having tried it in several places. Although it may seem a lie, there are all kinds of burgers in New York for all kinds of audiences, from large fast food chains, to small charming places, to elegant and expensive restaurants, in which any hamburger is a delicacy.
After trying enough on our two trips to the city of skyscrapers, especially in the last one that we spent 40 days in an apartment in New York of Airbnb, we have made a list with those that are for us, the 5 best burgers in New York.
This selection we have made based on everything, in what has been for us a good value for money and the service of the place.
We have tried hamburgers that although they could be of a similar or superior quality, the price was too high and for that reason, they have remained discarded to enter the ranking.
The best burgers in New York This list is popular and with several stores in the city, which makes it easier to try them. We start!

1. Five Guys

When you enter Five Guys without knowing it and you see all its posters with covers of important newspapers that designate it as the best burger in New York, you start to think that you are right with the place.
Five Guys has about 20 fast food outlets throughout the city and is unmistakable for its red and white colors. Although there are Five Guys in other cities like Washington, where Obama was going with his family and where he said they were his favorites, being able to try them in New York is a luxury.
Its main ingredients such as meat and potatoes are not frozen and have a high quality, something that has made them for us, the first in the list of best burgers in New York. In addition, the service is very fast and attentive, also having the luck of, every time we went, find a table to sit inside.
We recommend choosing the full-size hamburger to which you can add about 15 free ingredients or toppings, whether sauces, vegetables or mushrooms. As a drink you can order milkshakes of various flavors or soft drinks, which you can fill for free as many times as you want in the machines and add ice.
Our favorite hamburger is the Bacon Cheeseburger and as an extra, we must say that their potatoes are the best french fries in New York We have tried. And as an extra, right next to the counter, you will find a barrel of peanuts that you can serve for free, to entertain the stomach while they serve you.

It must be said that they are not very photogenic burgers and neither the foil wrapper, the cardboard bag and the potatoes thrown inside, they help the presentation a lot, but this, we assure you that after trying it, it is the least important, in addition even, to end up being part of the brand and the pleasure of tasting a Five Guys.
Another of the incentives for these, are its price, which does not exceed $ 30 for 2 people eating hamburgers, potatoes and drink for both.

As a result we can say that after trying several Shake Shack and Five Guys, the two finalists, we finally opted for Five Guys, as the restaurant with the best hamburger in New York.

2. Shake Shack

If we talk about name or brand, we could say that Shake Shack are the New York's most famous hamburgers and you will not find practically any tourist who has left the city without trying them.
There are many Shake Shack stores on the streets of the city, we have found them even in shopping centers, in one of the best outlets in New York, in subway stations or even at JFK airport.
In many of its restaurants you will see a long queue on the outside, and we have to say that sometimes it is difficult to find a place inside, so if you are more than one it is best for someone to get out of the queue and dedicate themselves to waiting Somebody get up to occupy the table.
At the time of finishing the order at the counter and after paying, you will be given a small electronic device that vibrates and in which some lights come on when the order is ready to pick it up.
The shake shack burger It is delicious for its Angus meat, fresh, untreated, juicy and with an intense grilled flavor, which differentiate it from the other fast food. The ShackBurger burger and the Smoke Shack Burger are our favorites, accompanied by potatoes with bacon and melted cheese. Their milkshakes or milkshakes are also famous and we have to confess, they are very good. And if you still want to increase your menu calories a little more, you can always end up with one of its rich Frozen Custard ice cream.
As an extra we will tell you that they have a detail that is appreciated, especially in summer, and that is that in all their premises they have a free cold water dispenser with glasses.

For all this, we can say that Shake Shack you have one of the best burgers in New York And even if it's unusual, all hamburgers are just as beautiful as the ones in the photos.

3. Burger Joint, one of the best burgers in New York

Hidden on one side to the left of the reception of the luxury hotel Le Parker Meridien, is one of the New York burgers more good. Normally you will find people waiting, although the queue advances quickly and the waiting time is usually not excessive.
As advice we will tell you that in the queue you can take a piece of paper with the letter, there are them in Spanish and with a pencil mark everything you want to ask, so when you arrive at the counter you will only have to deliver the paper with the order, make the payment and wait for you to prepare it. The best way to pass the waiting time, don't you think?
The restaurant is very small and looks more like a music venue on the walls full of graffiti, signatures and posters of concerts and movies and there are also few tables, but people eat quite quickly and leave, so we recommend you do the same , doing the desktop in another place, and thus try not to leave people waiting, eating standing or outside.

After trying them we recommend the cheeseburger hamburger, with beef that they prepare daily, and order it with all the ingredients "The works".
We went on the trip to New York in 11 days and it was a great experience, leaving us with a memory that we still don't forget today.
Now they have opened one more place in the Midtown area, but we have to recognize that this place is the most special and if you can, this is the classic Burger Joint.
The price does not exceed $ 40 for two people, with two full menus.

4. Bareburger

For us, Bareburger has its place earned by hand in the list of best burgers in New York. There are about twenty Bareburgers throughout New York and it differs from the rest by making its entire menu with natural and organic products.
Most of its premises are quite large, so you will have no problem finding a table and the interior decoration has a special charm, with wooden tables and walls full of small details.
The menu is quite extensive and allows you to choose a hamburger with various types of meat, ingredients, sauces and types of bread, in addition to a selection proposed by them. We recommend the Supreme with bison meat and as an accompaniment onion rings and sweet fries to share. The price is around $ 40 for two people.

5. Five Napkin Burger

Five Napkin, not to confuse with Five Guys, as it happened to us the first time, is more a restaurant than a fast food place. We recommend ordering the Original Five Napkin Burger, with gruyere cheese, caramelized onions and rosemary aioli. Really delicious.
The ground and fresh meat of their burgers is spectacular and differs in taste from the rest of the burgers we tried. There are four Five Napkin in the Big Apple, although the original and most famous, which is what we went to, is Hell's Kitchen.
The price does not exceed 50 dollars per couple.
