    This restaurant is located in the Flatiron District near the famous triangular building. It was the first time here and everything was perfect. Extraordinary burger and amazing Original Lobster Roll!!! Spacious, clean and the staff very attentive, also the price is reasonable . I recommend it 👌

    The place was enormous and very lively. Seems like a great spot to grab some food and drinks after work, have a family gathering, or have a date (if you don't mind the noise). We shared each others dishes so we could try various items they had to offer. For appetizers, we order the Butternut Squash Soup and Burrata. Cannot go wrong with either choices. The soup is more filling if you're super hungry. For entrees, we ordered the B&L Steak Sandwich and the Truffle Lobster Roll (extra $5). You get a choice between B&L fries or a salad with your entree. I personally don't think the Truffle Lobster Roll is worth the extra $5. Didn't really taste any truffle flavor and it wasn't as filling one would hope. The B&L Steak Sandwich will definitely fill you up a lot better than the Lobster Roll. Did I mention the B&L Steak Sandwich also tastes amazing? Must be that caramelized onion and roasted garlic mayo. For dessert we got the Cheesecake Mousse and Chocolate Mousse. We ended up having them packed to take with us as we were both already stuffed after finishing our entree. I personally enjoyed the Cheesecake Mousse more.

    This place had a great atmosphere inside, it was also very spacious which is helpful in the times of COVID. Food was very delicious as well, we sat at the bar and our bartender was super nice and helpful. Overall great experience!!

    Incredible burger at an incredible outdoor dining spot. I really liked their outdoor seating - they had a big platform with many tables, subway-tiled walls, and lobster traps for decorations. I ate the Original Burger, which had many toppings that complimented the exceptionally juicy burger. The fries and salad were also great! Coming back for sure!

    This place was highly recommended to us by a friend so we had to check it out. We visited on a Friday night and we did not have to wait for a table, we were seated immediately. They had a high chair for my toddler daughter which I mention because a couple of NYC restaurants we visited did not have highchairs. I ordered the lobster pasta. I can't remember the menu name but it was good! It was a smaller portion than I expected but in reality, it was just the right amount, I didn't get too full. We also ordered the calamari for an appetizer. I wasn't blown away, it didn't have much flavor to me. I wish I would have gotten the lobster Mac n Cheese. My fiance ordered the burger and lobster and he enjoyed his meal. He said he's glad he got the whole instead of the half because it wouldn't have been enough. Our waiter was very friendly, she made sure we had everything we didn't and the establishment was very clean from what I saw.

    First time at this restaurant, would go again! The apps were delicious! Came in on a Saturday evening at the start of dinner rush. What was weird, was that we were told we had to wait a few minutes (completely fine) but we were not asked to give our name. That did make it a hassle when the time came to start seating parties. But after about 20 minutes, were we able to get seated. The fried calamari was some of the best I’ve had. The crab bites had a kick, but were still flavorful. There were three in my party and we all had the same entree. The only difference was that I got a boiled lobster with the lemon garlic butter. The butter had a weird texture, but also, I’m not sure if I am a lobster fan. Still a great dish, but personally, I would just get the burger and fries. I would have preferred a brioche bun instead of the seeded. But the homemade pickles and the fries were amazing! Also, the La Paloma margarita were delicious and definitely worth a second round.

    Walk in for lunch with my friend on a weekday. The place wasn’t pack, lots of empty tables. I order a burger and asked for medium rare & my friend got the lobster roll. Half of my burger was still raw. I informed the waiter about it, he right away said that’s medium rare without inspecting the burger. He left and went to get a manger who tells me that the burger is medium rare. I don’t appreciate being gaslighting like that. I didn’t finished it my food.

    Never had a bad experience here. I came here 7 years ago, 6 years ago, and finally, once again, today. Their food quality is always consistent. The waiters are great and check up on ya. Burger was cooked perfectly. Lobster was fire. I think they make their pickles in house cuz they are unique and full of flavor. Well priced, great ambiance, love everything about this place.

    Very nice restaurant. We had the lobster roll and the bread was soft and it complimented the lobster meat inside. They have happy hour, but only at the bar. We went on a Wednesday and it was that busy. The server was very attentive and socialable

  • 4/5 Mony K. 2 years ago on Google
    A massive restaurant that focuses on its namesake. If you like lobsters, you’ll like it here. If you like burgers, you’ll be content. The star of the show are definitely the lobsters so if you’re not wanting any, I’d say there are plenty of better burger joints in the area. This restaurant is massive and they did a good job decorating their outdoor seatings too. Service was top notch, enough to get the job done without overwhelming you. It’s a nice spot to grab some lobsters but if you want anything, this won’t be the place for you. Margaritas were legit, try one.

    First time at this location. Food was amazing. We skipped the appetizers and went straight to our entrée. Drinks were reasonable. We visited on a Sunday for dinner. Parking was good because it was 7.00pm on a Sunday. Our server was amazing and paid close attention to our needs. All in all it was a really good experience. Will definitely revisit.

    This place was amazing. We did a walk in for two people and had no wait. The waiter was very nice and welcoming. The food was great too. We both had cocktails and shared a calamari for appetizer. This was honestly some of the best calamari that I’ve had especially with their sauce(it’s a bit spicy which I liked). We both had burgers for our mains it was delicious.

    Delicious food, fantastic service, reasonable price (lunch menu), couldn't ask for more! I tried "the decider" lobster roll in the lunch menu, and the lemon garlic butter that came with it was magical. The roll was already pretty filling so I would choose "salad" instead of "fries" as an accompaniment next time. The london burger - also on the lunch menu - was amazing as well.

    This place is a gem. Ordered the lobster roll with fries and the crab bites. Everything was fresh as can be. The lobster roll was seasoned perfectly and the fries were crunchy and salted just right. The greens in my salad did not have a single brown spot on them. The crab bite appetizers were soft and crunchy and the sauce served alongside them was like a spicy garlic sauce. The waitress was also the bartender and did an excellent job attending to my table. Will be back again in the future.

    I’m a frequent customer of Burger and Lobster! Their food is always delicious, has great portions, and wonderful presentation. The service is top notch and some of the best service I receive when dining at a restaurant so I always make sure I come in with extra cash to tip my servers. And the atmosphere is absolutely wonderful for any ane everybody, whether you’re dining solo, on a date, or with friends and family. B&L has a lifelong customer in me as long as they’re open, which I hope is for a very long time. 😊🍔🦞❤️

    Went here for lunch with a coworker and we were both very pleasantly surprised with how good everything we had was! I ordered the lunch version of the lobster roll and could not believe just how much lobster was actually in the roll despite it only being $25. We also both ordered margheritas and were very happy with those as well. It was very empty when we went but the restaurant is quite large and looks very nice!

    This restaurant is a great place to enjoy surf and turf in the flatiron district. The lobster is tender and the garlic butter is decadent. The fries are crunchy and perfect. The house salad is just the right size. The dessert menu is a must try!

    I used to go often in London to Burger and Lobster and when I saw it's in New York as well I rushed to eat here: it's always the best lobster roll! I love this place so much! Waiters very kind and place very cozy.

    Definitely enjoyed my dinner at B + L! Had a burger and a lobster combo and it was so tasty! The meat was high quality beef and the pickle, surprisingly, had some sweetness to it…..a good burger, but not great. I, personally, would’ve had a brioche bun instead of the sesame bun. I was craving some seafood so the lobster hit the spot. The real star of the show was the garlic butter…..I dipped everything in it. I gave this place 5 stars because the combo comes with fries and a side salad. A lot of tasty food for your buck!

    I was able to get table without reservations. I really wanted to try lobster bisque but they ran out. I was fortunate to get last lobster roll. Burger & lobster roll were very delicious. Drinks were good. I really love the idea of burger & lobster!!

    The food and drinks were great. We went for restaurant week but ended up ordering from the regular menu. We had Oysters, lobster bites, calamari and Kale to start. The best drink was their side car. We all had the B&L combo with the most delicious butter sauce. The only thing better than the food, drinks and company was the service. Our waiter Malachi was awesome.

    I am so glad that this place is now on my radar. Anytime I need to go to the city for work, with friends, or family I will always recommend this place for dinner. The options are very limited (to lobster and burgers of course) but if you vet out who you’re bringing to make sure that’s alright I guarantee they’ll have an amazing time. Brought my boyfriend who had the wagyu burger and said it was the best burger he has ever had. All around a great spot!

    We were there on Valentine's Day, arrived too late and missed our slot, but the welcome was very nice and they still tried to seat us quickly: Sorry and thank you for that! Our waitress at the table tried hard, but wasn't quite as good as the one at the next table. The ice cubes we ordered only arrived when the drink was already empty and the fries were unfortunately only warm. The lobster tongs were missing. We would have liked to have said something, but the waiter simply didn't come for a long time, which we thought was a shame. It was really busy, but we would have appreciated a little more attention. All in all, 4 stars and a little room for improvement!

    Burger & Lobster have remained consistent through the years of its inception. I mean every table had the Combo meal. Why come to Burger & Lobster and not have a Burger & a Lobster. The music, the decor the service all fits together well. There perfect balance allows me to feel and taste the wonderful flavors of the juicy burger as I dip my lobster in the garlic butter for a very smooth taste., And there is no hesitation refilling my table of 3 glasses of coke & water.

  • 5/5 Missy M. 4 months ago on Google • 20 reviews
    We hit this place at happy hour. Being from Texas a good margarita is a must and they were good. We ate mostly off the appetizer menu. Had the BLLT lobster roll, fried calamari and two dozen raw oysters on the half shell since they were $1 each! Highly recommend, the service was great and the food was delicious. But we ended with the lobster bisque and the London burger.

  • 5/5 Dwayne S. 9 months ago on Google
    Great spot to visit. Burgers are juicy and delicious!! I had the wagyu beef burger, medium well, w sweet potato fries, roasted and seasoned corn chunks and to drink a Mango shrub margarita. My wife had the BEAST burger, which was lobster meat and a beef patty. Her side was truffle fires and she had a strawberry margarita as well. Fun times, delicious food!! Make sure to visit!!!

    First time here and received nothing less than amazing service from Eddie and Kevin. Thank you so much for your great customer service! Oh and the food was AMAZING btw

  • 5/5 Dee Y. 2 years ago on Google
    The service, atmosphere, food and presentation were excellent. The price is reasonable too. I guess you can use this place as a casual date restaurant.

  • 3/5 Nancy B. 2 years ago on Google
    This is my first time here... Service was great the food was OK I only had the B and L combo... The burger was OK I wasn't a fan of the bun... The fries were really good... As for the lobster it was ok but it had a smell... they didn't get that ocean smell out right they didn't clean it thoroughly... but the meat was actually cooked well... I ordered lemon garlic butter dipping sauce to go with it which was really good also... Unfortunately because of the smell of the lobster it turned me off and I couldn't finish the meal

    It was a pleasure eating here and catching up with a dear friend. We had excellent service from Tyrone G! He was on point with his friendliness to the food recommendations and making sure we were good at all times. I enjoyed our visit here. We will definitely be back and request him as our waiter. Get the Shrimp Tacos and Calamari 😍 and Bread pudding for dessert !

  • 4/5 Camila Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Came with a friend and we both loved the oyster, lobster roll, and the sweet potato fries!!! I didn’t like the salad, because it had blue cheese, other than that, the food was great. Only thing was we waited for the food for a long time and we were really starving…

  • 4/5 Hisham A. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly stuff, the waiter asked all our questions and provided everything we asked. I had lobster roll, original burger and truffle fries. the lobster roll and truffle fries was delicious the original burger was just okay.

  • 5/5 S C. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a cool place that was great for a family meal, solo dinner, or date. I went there on a date. The atmosphere was so cool and inviting. They also have a bunch of events they do weekly like trivia and special brunches so check them out! They food was delicious. The shrimp appetizer is absolutely my favorite. So flavorful and perfectly cooked. The lobster was delicious and tender. The burger was beefy and delicious. I would come here everyday and get that if I didn't care about my health lol.

  • 4/5 Eye H. 1 year ago on Google
    Good dining experience. Food was really good, had the Lobster PoBoy. It was nice and hot. I did order a salad before and asked for no goat cheese. Salad to a while to come and when it arrived, goat cheese everywhere. Send it back of course. Now the highlight of the meal were the drinks! The bartender was amazing I was just watching him make various drinks throughout the night and this guy was good. I forget his name but short Latin descendant guy. If he making your drinks you going be straight. No question.

  • 2/5 allminenyc 6 months ago on Google
    It’s average all around. Lester our serve was super nice. Food too very long to come and both appetizers and entrees came out about the same time. Fries were soggy.

  • 4/5 Leon L. 1 year ago on Google
    Average portions for NYC (large), good price of you come during trivia nights, ok service, good taste. Came here for Tuesday trivia night, had the standard burger cooked medium rare. Burger was tasty, flavorful, and the typical upscale restaurant burger size. Fries had good texture too. Took a while to get my burger but worked out in the end, think they take longer during trivia nights. Prices do seem high if coming during a normal time.

  • 4/5 Shanaye H. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool atmosphere- upstairs is dark and lively like a bar but big but downstairs was more sit and talk. We had a party of about 12 and more than enough seating. Got the waiter to even take some pictures for us and he was very, willing even got different angles. I don't actually like seafood so I got macaroni without the lobster and a burger and fries. The regular fries weren't too good everyone on the table agreed but the sweet potato fries and burger were great!

  • 5/5 Kevin D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place. The burgers here are out of this world, so good. The beast burger has lobster on top of it, so good. Also the colossal whole lobster you can pick which one you want. So fresh.

  • 5/5 T.R. D. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food and chill environment. They really allow the lobster to stand on its own, with the additional flavors being subtle. The pear necessity (the drink) was lovely, the flavors enhancing the gin, and the madison park punch (not pictured) was minty and sublime. Amazing service, we had an 18mo with us and they traded out her chair when we needed it and even conversed with her to get her "order". Super cute.

  • 5/5 Mac M. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a pleasant surprise for dinner! Bustling just like the city, the atmosphere is fun and seemed family friendly. The Connecticut lobster roll = Amazing!! The serving portions are huge and filling. The Roll Combo dish is a feast for a king! Yum😋 We also had the crab cakes, which were were made from such sweet, plump crab meat. I would have dinner here daily if I could! Definite recommend!
