Aroma Burger 8.3
Washington Heights (North)

Aroma Burger is a small smashburger-focused spot off 185th where beef is ground daily and cooked on a flat-top, with crinkle-cut fries and hot dogs rounding things out. Delivery-platform ratings sit high despite relatively modest review counts, and comments consistently call out juicy patties and well-seasoned fries. It reads more like a focused burger workshop than a hangout, built for takeout and quick counter orders.
Must-Try Dishes: Aroma Burger, Avocado Bacon Burger, Chimi Burger
