#Best burger shop mac#
The menu has a great variety of options, but I was there for the Nobody’s Burger: “double patties, cheddar, hawaiian roll, special sauce, pickles, fries” And if that sounds somewhat familiar, it’s because it is a Big Mac for grown-ups! I have plenty of nostalgia and feelings attached to the Big Mac–I even wrote a comedic piece about it. Nobody Told Me opened this past summer and started offering brunch service 7 days a week in September. I went on a Saturday brunch expecting a hopping crowd and it was quite the opposite. The ambiance is definitely a little hipper than most spots on this list, but it’s really comfortable and the prices are pretty good considering the sleek look and feel. A fellow food tour guide suggested this spot to me, somewhat reluctantly, as he said: “a little yuppie for my taste, but they make a good burger.” But I am so grateful that he put me on because I’ll definitely be back. Just as the All State was reliable for my friends and family during the darker dining days of the UWS, The Emerald Inn remains a reliable burger spot in a sea of high end, high priced options and chain restaurants.ĩ51 Amsterdam Avenue (between 106th and 107th Streets) It usually gets cooked closer to medium and thus hits my sweet spot. I generally like my burger between a medium and medium rare, and for a pub burger I tend to order mid-rare. The $14.95 platter comes with thick (but not steak) fries, slaw, and a pickle, which is a pretty good price in this area which is pretty packed with burger spots. The cheeseburger topped with cheddar cheese is served on a classic sesame seed bun, which I think is too often overlooked these days.
There are no fancy combos here just the classics. And it’s been a reliable burger and a beer spot for just as long. But this fourth generation family-owned Irish pub has been a neighborhood stalwart for over 70 years. I also have a love of the space (RIP All State) that the Emerald Inn now resides in since its move from 69th and Columbus Ave. Perhaps it’s because my dad’s a Brit, but I have an affinity for a good pub burger.

The places on this list have been judged by their most basic or signature burger – with cheese, because burgers love cheese. There are also many places that have OK burgers that become great when you add a lot of toppings and sauces to them. There is only one place on this list that has locations outside of NYC, but I feel the burger is just too good and iconic to ignore.
So the difficulty is really in picking only a handful. We are fortunate to have many good Upper West Side restaurants with burgers to choose from.
But several burgers later, I feel confident in my choices. And then JG Melon closed and I had ANOTHER spot to fill. When I was initially asked to write about the best burgers on the Upper West Side, I was pretty sure I had my list mostly locked down with maybe one spot I was still debating.
