    Let's talk about good eats. The hubs said he wanted a good burger and Black Iron Burger was rated high on the list. We arrived during the beginning of happy hour on a Friday, so it wasn't busy yet. I had the Patty Melt, small fries, and a Jamaican Breeze. Let me say very tasty! I didn't add any special sauces to my sandwich, but the option is there. We're also not big on fries, so we actually split the small basket of fries between us. Service is top notch. We were seated quickly and our waiter was prompt. I gotta imagine this is a hopping place in the evening. Hands down a must visit.

    A very good burger with high quality ingredients. Something I really liked about it was how tender all the ingredients were, making the burguer very light to eat, even though burguers had 2 patties of meat. Sweet potatoes and onions rings very good as well.

    These burgers were awesome! Their loaded sweet potato fries were also fantastic! The service was fast and non-intrusive. Ambience was fine, in a "keep it simple" no bs approach. I rather liked it. Totally recommend!

    Black Iron Burger is a really cool restaurant to eat at. The waiters and workers were super friendly. I couldn’t tell if they were Scottish or Irish but they were the loveliest set of people to talk to. Everyone made my experience super welcoming and warm. Definitely will visit again. There are many trains around the area, buses, cabs, and even Port Authority nearby. There’s hard any parking in the block. I don’t think there’s any parking around at all, to be honest because of the fashion district’s loading zones.

    Juicy burgers, even cooked well done and the loaded sweet potatoes were amazing. Got our food pretty fast. They have shakes and some dessert too but we were full and content by the burgers.

    Don't miss this great burger spot in Garment/Theatre area. Delicious handheld delights are pretty affordable too. You can't find $12-15 hamburgers in many places. BiB has a cool vibe and excellent food. Chicken tenders were great and the fries were too. Highly recommend. Great service.

    Simply Delicious!! We found this place on Google maps and chose it because of the reviews. It was so delicious and the service was excellent! The milkshakes were amazing, the French fries and sweet potato fries were perfect. Both, the meat and the veggie burger were def worth it! Highly recommended!!

    OMG! 💯 Recommend the burgers, fries and definitely the onion rings!!! I can't say enough about how friendly & helpful the staff is and how amazing the food was! Quaint place! Their slogan, "Nobody beats our meat." is so true and yet shows their humor. Highly recommend! I should have taken a picture of the food before we ate everything. Perfectly cooked Bison burger was the best! 💜 We will be back!

    A great burger joint to grab an excellent burger before a game, night out, or a show! The burger was the perfect size, served open and ready to be grabbed and devoured! The bun is not overwhelming and has a great ratio of burger to buns! The ai-oli fries are defintely a must to share! If you are wondering about price for two burgers and side of fries ran us about ~$50.. There's a little bar in the back that has the games on, the service was quick, and the atmosphere was perfect for this burger spot!

    One of the best burgers 🍔 that I’ve eaten in a long time…I enjoyed the Iberico Burger and the Grilled Cheese with bacon 🥓 My server was attentive and helpful. The location is narrow but the turnover is quick. Great place, great burgers… keep up the great work.! I highly recommend Black Iron Burger. 💯 🔥 ✊🏽

    I ordered the Black Iron burger. The patties taste so good, medium well just like how I ordered it. The bun can be improved. The food came fairly fast. The stuff is so friendly. The fries taste really good and the amount is big. This sauce is fairly expensive and came is a small amount. The atmosphere and music is good.

    The food was delicious, the issue was we ordered one mushroom truffle burger without bacon, after we ate we found that there was bacon underneath the meat, we told the host about it and she came back to apologize and told us our bill which was nearly 90 dollars is off and we don’t have to pay anything ! I really want to appreciate them for their kindness, that was something we’ll never forget and we’ll definitely come back for their amazing burgers.

    Excellent burger and drinks spot, walking distance from Madison Square Garden and Times Square. Unique flavorful burgers, good portions and attentive service. Great spot to go ahead of an event in the area.

  • 5/5 Diego C. 2 months ago on Google • 12 reviews New
    Great food!, the American burger with the thick bacon is a must try, the meat was right at the medium point where you ask, not under not overcooked. Also, service was great, we asked for jalapeño peppers and my guy got me enough to not bother him again for the same thing. Really a great place 🤌

  • 5/5 Angela B. 6 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    The service was outstanding!! Friendly and crazy fast. They made great recommendations. We really enjoyed the Blue Point Lager. We stopped in per the suggestion from an employee at the Mission Escape Room around the corner. We were celebrating my son’s 18th Birthday and they did not dissapoint. 😁👍 We had Truffle Mayo Fries, Onion Rings, Cajun Fries, Blue Cheese Bacon Burger on a gluten free bun, The Iberico Burger, and we built two additional burgers with the works. We left nothing to waste. It was a bit more expensive than we anticipated, but we absolutely enjoyed every bite!! Check out this spot for your next burger 🍔 in NYC

    Okay place. We went for happy hour but when we closed out, they didn't honor the happy hour prices. Unfortunately we didn't notice until after we all left. Burger 3.5/5 (personally prefer smash burgers, nothing too out of the ordinary with this one imo) Fries 4/5 (Liked the thin fries and sauce, wished the bacon was crispier.)

  • 4/5 Tobias H. 6 months ago on Google
    Great variety of burgers and sides. Also the atmosphere is really cozy and good to watch sports. The service is very friendly and fast. We also had no problem getting a table with a party of eight without reservation

  • 5/5 Luke M. 6 months ago on Google
    Great burger. Had the Black Iron Burger medium rare. Juicy and great taste. Quite saucy but not overpoweringly so. Super quick service - would definitely go back. The fries were on point as well.

    First night in New York and we had a hankering for a cheeseburger. As reviews looked good and it was close to our hotel, we gave it a shot! Now I apologise in advance for my photos. The bar was dim and couldn’t get a clear photo of the food, drinks or seating. This small burger joint has a capacity of around 70 and was almost totally full, so clearly popular. You can choose to dine indoors or out but with such warm weather, dining indoors with air conditioning was a must. We ordered The Little Italy burger and The Patty Melt burger. We added a serve of fries, coleslaw plus two margaritas and a sangria. The Little Italy Burger meat was 5oz which seemed a little small. It was cooked as requested. The Patty Melt which is served on rye bread was tasty and a nice portion size but nothing to rave about. My sangria was just okay. I’d come from Phoenixville where the sangrias were some of the best I’ve had travelling my around the globe. This one was a little “watered down” with no real cinnamon or brandy flavour. My only other criticism is that it is a visual and audible overload. Music and chatter of 60 people, along with multiple tv screens showing sport and lifestyle programs. All in a dimly lit space. We literally couldn’t hear each other across the table and taking any photos was challenging. However, a big shout out to the staff, in particular Adrianna who was fast, efficient and very attentive. The total bill was $112 which seemed rather steep. $17 for a margarita! They are less than half that during happy hour from 4-6pm. I hope you have a better experience than we did. We’re off to find another cheeseburger place.

    Beautifully packaged meal! I stood on line for less than a minute before I and a few others were served by the kindest host ever! He took my order, let me know my wait time (which was short, 10 minutes for a turkey burger with onion rings) It took less than 10 Minutes which was great and everything tastes amazing! I’ll definitely be back again and again! Thank you, BIB! You guys made my day

  • 5/5 María Belén R. 1 year ago on Google
    The masterpiece is a must try! The black iron too. But the loaded fries are the best we ever taste. Good beer, great food. Impossible not to visit every time we are NYC.

  • 4/5 Raymond C. 2 years ago on Google
    Got the mushroom truffle burger and truffle cheese fries… and honesty they didn’t disappoint. Juicy patty with a nice toasted brioche bun. Wish there was more cooked onions on my burger… it was looking a little sad. But overall it’s a very tasty burger. Fries were crispy and truffle flavored but a little too much spring onions for garnish? Big selection of burgers at an affordable price. Would definitely come back or order take out. They also have happy hour from 2-7pm

  • 5/5 Jon J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food in a great atmosphere where the staff spreads happy vibes. Most excellent service! Great attitudes from the whole staff! In the post covid world where there is a shortage of happy servers, this was such a great experience! Just a few people doing all the jobs that needed to be done whenever they needed to be done. The hostess greeted us, told us it would be a few minutes til a table would be ready for us and invited us to sit at the bar while we waited. Next thing we knew, she was bar tending for us. We noticed some tables opened up so she went over and bussed them without hesitation and with a smile the whole time. She then seated us and became our waitress adding great menu suggestions which were spot on! The place isn't the best looking but the atmosphere and food were the absolute best!!

  • 5/5 Erin H. 2 years ago on Google
    The service was great! Good quality ingredients as well. HUGE portion sizes so just be aware of that. The fries could feed 2 people!

  • 5/5 Ana M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service. The fries are delicious!!! The burgers are also great. Súper recommended.

  • 3/5 Natalie N. 2 years ago on Google
    When I walked in here I was so confused 😕 I asked if the place was open? I asked that because as I was walking in it felt that way... there was one person sitting down but I wasn't sure if they were staff...The guy proceeds to tell me that the door is open, so yeah they're open 🙄 I'm like ok... The rest of the experience was fine but I already felt awkward after that first interaction! I stood because it was a weekly date night that I have with my daughter to catch up on whats going on in her life and also to feel some kind of normalcy after being inside for eighteen months. The food was 👍🏻 The fries were 😵 so so good they were the star of the show! If I had a word of advise it would be to be a little more welcoming 🙂

  • 5/5 Meghana S. 2 years ago on Google
    Fun little place! Service was excellent and it’s walking distance from Times Square. Ambience was great. Their burgers were exceptional! Very juicy and flavorful! And we also enjoyed some drinks and loaded fries. Overall a fun experience! Highly recommended!

  • 4/5 Marena S. 2 years ago on Google
    Overall worth going there. Food was delicious but half way through eating my breaded chicken, my bun got so mushy and the whole thing was falling apart. I am glad we got a lot of napkins. The aioli french fries were really good. The service was good, although I asked for a water with lemon and got only water.

    Was this was a great place for burger and only 10 mins walk from the Empire State Building we thought this was a perfect place to refuel before heading to times square at night. The service was great, the food was spot on, burgers all round were amazing. This was exactly what we needed and I highly recommend
