"The chef at this hot Brooklyn spot previously worked for the group behind 4 Charles Prime Rib, and the two restaurant’s burgers have a lot in common: a pair of nicely seared patties smothered in creamy cheese, with absurdly thin mandolined pickles. The Snail’s version is great. But it's not great enough to justify the two-hour wait for a table, especially given how inconsistent the rest of the paint-by-numbers trendy menu (steak frites, shrimp cocktail, house martini) tends to be. Verdict: Good burger, but not worth the hassle till the hype dies down." - bryan kim, team infatuation, molly fitzpatrick, garrett snyder, candis mclean, john ringor, bryan kim, aimee rizzo, juli horsford, julia chen 1
