Best Burgers Restaurants in Manhattan Valley
4 hand-picked restaurants, critic-reviewed and ranked
Last Updated: February 2026
Our Top Pick
The Ellington
A modern Broadway dining room where brunch and burgers lead the wins.
Notable Picks
8.1
A polished Broadway New American room that’s strongest when you treat it as a burger-and-brunch-plus-cocktails spot rather than a ‘try everything’ restaurant. The menu leans crowd-pleasing—eggs, sandwiches, and a signature burger—so your best experience comes from ordering clean and letting the room do the rest.
Must-Try Dishes:
Ellington Burger, Southern fried chicken sandwich, Breakfast wrap
What Makes it Special: A modern Broadway dining room where brunch and burgers lead the wins.
8
A cocktail-forward room where the cheeseburger is the most reliable anchor when you want something satisfying without turning the night into a full dinner crawl. The move is to pair the burger with one snacky plate, then let the bar program carry the rest.
Must-Try Dishes:
Cheeseburger, Jerk Chicken Wings, Fried Chicken Sliders
What Makes it Special: A drinks-first spot where the cheeseburger is the clutch order.
Worthy Picks
7.8
A lived-in neighborhood tavern built for pints, pub staples, and late-night reliability—more “repeat hang” than destination dining. Go for the burger-and-beer lane (or classic bar food) and you’ll get exactly what you came for: comfort, noise, and a room that feels like it’s always in session.
Must-Try Dishes:
Burger, Wings, Mac & cheese
What Makes it Special: A true local tavern that stays open-late and keeps the pub lane steady.

A no-frills neighborhood dive that’s useful when you want a late bite without leaving the block. The best way to use it is simple: one burger-style order, one side, and you’re back to your night—fast, direct, and low ceremony.
Must-Try Dishes:
House burger, Fries, Mozzarella sticks
What Makes it Special: A late-night dive where you can still get food fast.
