Our Top Pick
Black Iron Burger
Signature burger builds with a fry game that holds up.
Notable Picks
8.5
A chef-built burger shop that treats the basics seriously: seared patties, sturdy buns, and a lineup that rewards people who like their burgers a little engineered. It’s one of the more consistent crowd-pleasers in the area for a sit-down-but-fast burger meal, especially when you lean into their signature builds and fry program.
Must-Try Dishes:
The Masterpiece Burger, The Black Iron Burger, Truffle Cheese Fries
What makes it special: Signature burger builds with a fry game that holds up.
8.2
A Bryant Park-adjacent fast-casual counter built around smash-style Certified Angus Beef patties, tots, and a tight “burger + beer” lane. The move is simple: go double if you want real beef-to-bun balance, add tots or fries, and keep toppings focused so the char and salt stay in front.
Must-Try Dishes:
Double smash cheeseburger, Tater tots, Burger of the Month
What makes it special: Smash burgers plus fries/tots in a quick-service, beer-friendly setup.
Worthy Picks

Burger Mania
7.8
A Times Square-area smash-burger shop that leans bold and customizable, with combo-friendly ordering and a casual dining-room setup. It works best as a “one burger, one side” stop—pick a signature build, keep the add-ons tight, and treat wings/shakes as optional extras.
Must-Try Dishes:
Atomic Burger, Big Boy Burger, Hand-cut fries
What makes it special: Smash-burger menu built around signature house combos and easy ordering.
7.6
A newer, polished neighborhood pub that happens to take burgers seriously, with a dedicated smash-burger build alongside pub classics and drinks. Best as a late-night or game-day stop: order the smash burger (or sliders), add one side, and treat the rest of the menu as supporting cast.
Must-Try Dishes:
The Yard's Smash Burger, The Yard's Sliders, Sweet potato fries
What makes it special: An elevated pub with a legit smash burger and strong late hours.
