Master Critic Review

The Burger Hole 7.8
Morningside Heights
The Burger Hole is a delivery-focused burger counter on Amsterdam that runs a short menu of two-hand burgers, chicken sandwiches, and fries for the Morningside Heights crowd. It’s used more as a reliable delivery and takeout option than a hangout, but fills a niche between campus chains and dine-in spots.
Must-Try Dishes: Double Cheeseburger, Curly Fries, Sweet Fries

What makes it special: Small, delivery-oriented burger shop that quietly serves better patties than most third-party-app options.
Who should go: Locals wanting delivery burgers beyond familiar chain menus.
When to visit: Weeknights for dependable delivery when campus spots feel slammed.
What to order: Double Cheeseburger, Curly Fries, Sweet Fries.
Insider tip: Build your own combo with extra fries—delivery portions run generous for the price.
