5 Napkin Burger

The food was pretty good. We ordered from the happy hour menu. The shrimp tacos were not the best. It was a tempura shrimp with a soft tortilla shell but that tortilla was hard and kinda stale. The taco is meant to be spicy but I got the spicy sauce on the side due to my battle with acid reflux. The taco left much to desired for $10 for 2 so I would try something different next time. The staff here has always been courteous and accommodating. The wings are my favorite. I wish you could order 2 portion sizes because I wanted more after these were done because they are so tasty. We also got an onion tower not pictured here but it was delicious nonetheless just make sure you eat it while it’s hot.

We were booked in as a group and loved the food and efficient, friendly service. It’s loud and crowded but worth it! Their signature burger was so delicious I do recommend it. Everything our group ate from vegetarian burgers to salads were raved about.

Hit on their Happy Hour 3-6pm and after 9pm so the menu is limited. The $4 Brooklyn Pilsner was perfect for a summer afternoon. The cheeseburger sliders were a bit on the too well done side. The spinach artichoke dip was just ok; the chips were not fresh (not stale, just not fresh). For value, I would return again but would try different items or try their lunch menu. Service was great.

Edit: Greg reached out to me and invited my brother and I to visit again. It was a wonderful experience, great improvement from the last. The shrimp tacos were of course great, my brother and I had some drinks (him with a Shirley and me with the 5N X'SPREESSOTINI). The martini was delicious and I will definitely be back to try more drinks. Mianna (Mia) provided my brother and I with great service, she was attentive and friendly. Definitely a great waitress. Original: My brother and I had the crispy shrimp tacos and they were so good. Definitely a favorite. Service Definitely needs some improvement. My waitress wasn't the best but luckily the other servers were able to help me. Would Definitely come again though to try their drinks.

Everything was good, but the cauliflower bites are so spicy. Also, hell's kitchen chicken wings with Korean spice is tasty. Baja burrito is tasty. Try the 5n expressnitit; it's a coffee martini with vanilla liquor, and it's good.

I was debating between the truffle burger and the chicken and pancakes, when my waiter recommended the latter and it was a very very sad dish, to say the least. You can even tell by the picture. The skin was soft and mealie, and lacked any sort of flavor. However, the kale salad was delicious and the service was great! I’m guessing the issue was likely with this one dish, I’ll come back and try their burgers.

A few branch located in Manhattan island, and we went this one. First I have to say that the staff was polite and shown to us their hospitalities. Everything was good. We ordered "Truffle Burger" and the other meals. All thing that we tasted was really good. Only I can criticize the price of small milk shake. The price for the small milkshake was too much.

This is a pretty standard American place. Their food selection is fair, but their happy hour deals and creative cocktails are better. There is a relatively spacious dining room and it seemed family-friendly. No stairs, so this place seemed generally wheelchair accessible. Overall, will likely bring friends here for the happy hour again!

The wait staff is absolutely amazing. ask for Alberto! He's such an amazing individual and was so helpful. This was my first time here along with my friend and we LOVED it here! The food is BEYOND AMAZING. It is a little on the $$ end as you buy multiple items however everything is fresh and you can taste the quality. The restaurant is perfectly lit and has outdoor seating as well.

So I was in the mood for a burger and a nice mimosa so I strolled over to 5 Napkin to satisfy this craving. They have 2 for 1 mimosas all week until 4pm! So that was great. And I went for a Cheeseburger with an over easy egg to give it some juice and it was good as were the crinkle cut fries. My friend enjoyed the Chocolate layered cake too. Overall it was a cool meal. Bartender was cool and accommodating. There was some decent music playing lightly in the background. Glad it wasn't blasting. So if you're in the mood for a burger try this spot out. If you're in the mood for a mimosa this is definitely a great spot for it. Enjoy your day!

It wouldn't be a standard, warm autumn New York evening without al fresco dining at a 5 Napkin Burger. If you're not in the mood for booze, their Patty Melt matched perfectly with their lemonade. Be as nostalgic for summer as you can in this weather

I went here for dinner date with my boyfriend. The restaurant was quite packed for a random Wednesday night, but I get the hype. We started off with the Parmesan artichoke dip with chips. It was so creamy and delicious. For dinner, I had the classic cheeseburger with pepper jack cheese. I ordered it well done and they managed to cook it that way, but also managed to make sure it had a bit of that juice in the burger..it was quite delicious. The crinkle cut fries were fresh and tasty, with the perfect amount of salt. My boyfriend had their five napkin burger, which he thoroughly enjoyed. You have to order fries as a separate side of 5 dollars for the small, which I think is a bit overpriced when one of the burgers alone cost 21 bucks. When I used the restroom, it was a bit untidy. Nevertheless, it's a calm spot for dinner. This order with a seltzer and an angry orchid beer costed us $68 before tip.

In my honest opinion this is my first time eating there . The French fries were overdone and salty the chicken wings was also a bit on the salty side . The grilled cheese was ok and the vanilla milk shake was ok . I had the blueberry mint lemonade and it was ok . The service was not bad but not excellent. Would I give them another try ? Maybe not . And I went there at 3:00 on a Thursday. So it was not busy at all . The waiter checked on us a few times just to make sure we were ok .

I visited "5 Napkin Burger" restaurant located in the Upper West Side, Manhattan, with my two grand children and sister on Tuesday, 09/03/2024, for lunch. We had just spent the morning at a playground in Riverside Park...and wanted to sit down and have a nice lunch. When we arrived, there was no customers in the restaurant. They showed us the table, near the front window, and ordered. The children's menu is something else...NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY...what restaurant does not have chicken fingers. On the menu, it is called chicken something, and when I asked the waiter do you have chicken fingers or nuggets, he explained, that this restaurant does not do that...they just cut up a chicken breast into strips...so...it is NOT chicken fingers and the kids disliked it very much. However, after waiting about 20-minutes...i stopped and asked the waiter who was standing with the other waiters chatting, do you have crayons/paper/something to keep the young children occupied? The answer, "NO, we used to, but no more." I said, for a restaurant that has a children's menu - this establishment is not "children friendly". Finally, the food arrived after about 30-minutes (by the way...ordered a cheeseburger and chicken strips (?) for the grand children, my sister ordered a salad, and I ordered a turkey burger), and some orders came with French fries...which were the WORST! Yes..hot...however, they were so salty - like they dumped salt on the fries...impossible to eat. When I mentioned it to the waiter, he just nodded...no comment like - "let me replace the fries for you" or "you will not have to pay for the salty fries" - nothing. We left the restaurant and will never be back. I do not know how the other restaurant with the same name in the other location is...but DO NOT GO to this restaurant with children and do NOT order the fries. NOT RECOMMENDED...too many other restaurant choices on Broadway that are much more accommodating for young children.

Good restaurant for family. Burgers, sandwiches, fries and milkshakes. Everyone can have something. Nice setup. Lots tables (indoor and outdoor). Overall the food is good. Only Pancake is on the dry side. Waitress is very nice. They all help each other out for tables.

Gorgeous restaurant in Upper East side neighborhood. During Sunday lunch hours, we were able to get a table without waiting. There are both indoor and outdoor seating, and a very beautiful large bar area. We got pancakes, wings and Patty melt. Pancakes were little dry, wouldn't have nice if they were moist and softer. The wings were on the decent, would have liked that to me moist as well, but the salad and garlic parmesan sauce were good. The Patty melt was the best item. Really nice toast, with lots of paddy and cheese. We ordered the blueberry mint lemonade and strawberry milkshake as well. Both were excellent. Throughout the dining, we had a tough time finding our server, but thankfully other servers were around to help us.

I was really hopeful about this place. A restaurant that's called five napkin burger sounds like it's going to be messy, greasy and absolutely delicious. The staff there is super nice. It's a small restaurant but we were able to get our entire party seated. I got the bacon burger and it was okay. It seemed to be missing a basic sauce to bring it all together. We also ordered their holiday St. Patrick's Day burger which is not bad. The shakes are amazing. The onion rings are awesome!!. And they have a kale salad. That's pretty good. That being said it wasn't bad but it wasn't what I was expecting for a burger joint.

A solid place for burgers! I wasn't too blown away by the food, if you're craving a burger, you'll be able to satisfy your craving here. The service was good, and the overall vibe of the restaurant is pretty nice. I found the burgers to be pretty normal and nothing special, but I liked how they gave a pickle on the side to cut the oil. A good spot for a burger if you're craving it!

I was in a rush so I was looking for something quick. I ended up going to this place. I ordered the five guys burger and I asked for medium cooked. It was great. Bad part it doesn't come with fries. So I had to place a side order of sweet fries. Also a little pricey for an order of burgers/fries and a beer.

I didn't enjoy the food at all. The server didn't share the specials and when we noticed it on the menu and wanted to change our order he said it was too late and the kitchen started making our food. The food was also not served hot.

Delicious veggie burger. Relaxed atmosphere and great service. Highly recommend this place.

Went in for a Sunday brunch around noon with friends. The brunch menu was good and 4 of us ordered the pancake breakfast that included hash browns, meat and two eggs in addition to plain or blueberry pancakes. Wish I had snapped a picture of the food but I did not. The 5th person in our group had a burger with egg on top which he really enjoyed. All of us thought the food was great and all around $20 or a little more per person including yummy coffee. There is ample room in the restaurant with comfortable seating. The service was amazing. Best service I've had in a while I must say. Our waiter Andres was the nicest guy and very attentive.

I had been craving an above average burger for a few months, and NYC Restaurant Week was coming to a close, so I figured I'd hit up a place I'd been wanting to try for a few months: 5 Napkin Burger. The place was packed on a Saturday at noon, and I was thankful I'd placed a reservation the night prior. We were seated nearly immediately and despite the nearly-full restaurant, our server was communicative, regularly around and efficient. She made our experience even better than it was. Both me and my partner ended up not ordering off of the Restaurant Week menu. I didn't want to eat the dessert that came with it, and my partner wanted to try the Tuna Burger that they had. The food was delicious. We started out with an order of the truffle parmesan fries, which were better than I'd expected them to be and a pretty decent portion given the price tag. My 5 Napkin Burger was cooked medium and was very delicious and presented well. They also had gluten-free buns, some delicious-looking fried chicken, and some high-quality-looking veggie burgers. I would recommend to anyone looking for upscale New American classics on the Upper West Side.

Horrible service. Kept asking how long until the food was ready, kept hearing two minutes, two minutes. Til ten minutes had passed. Asked again, 5 more minutes. This is after waiting endlessly and patiently. Got up, walked to the bar saw the cooks talking among themselves, no food on the grill. Left. Do not waste your time. They will also try to get your review removed through moderators. The only upside to this place is the way it looks. Out of all the 5 napkin stores I've been this is hands down the worst.

The food was 5 star!! We ordered the vegan chili fries and the grilled salmon. The chili fries were not over topped with chili and the chili wasn't too saucy. For us, this is perfect because we don't like soggy fries. The salmon was cooked to perfection. I requested to not have the chimichurri sauce because I prefer a naked salmon. It was divine. Then, there was the broccoli. The charred broccoli was the BEST broccoli I have ever had. Ever. It was so good I ordered a second side of it. The only reason I did not give a 5 star review was because of the lack of friendliness with the staff. The hostess appeared put out by us. The server was totally disengaged no matter how hard we tried to dialogue with him. Despite the service, the food is worth going for. You will also love the ambiance whether you chose to sit inside or out.

burgers consistently delicious! Love the vibe and great service too. Our go to in the neighborhood!

The food is great as usual, it travels well and the delivery is fast. Whenever there is any "problem" customer service is great. am a regular customer.

This is a pretty cute burger place. They have some nice veggie burger options and they also serve sushi! The overall ambiance is super nice and their service is also quite good

The food there is excellent!!! I loved the Avocado Ranch Burger and the fries are very delicious!!! I would definitely recommend it!!! I also loved the Chianti!!!

Food is always great and service is solid. Tuna burger is amazing if you haven't tried it, you must!

My meal was delivered still hot and cooked to perfection. They clearly take care which is incredibly rare from other restaurants these days.

This place is a joke. The food is so mediocre for the price and the portion size is SO small. The so called "jumbo wings" on the appetizer menu are the smallest most shriveled up wings I've ever ordered. It actually hurt my soul to think that 1 of these wings were $2 each... we got the Nashville hot sauce which was super bleh and not flavorful either. I got the Cali Reuben which again was soo tiny and comes with nothing in addition. The best thing I had was the sweet potato fries which also was not worth... All in all there's literally no reason why you'd come here bc the food is nothing special, the prices are high, and there's literally a maison's pickles next door that's significantly better.

Came here on a Sunday and was lucky to be treated by Michelle the bartender - she was so lovely and warm, welcoming, etc. Truly a fantastic person and should be recognized for that. I'll be trying to contact them separately to let them know bc she genuinely deserves praise. Michelle's drinks (I got martinis) were fantastic. She was an excellent bartender. Exactly as I wanted them prepared - and I'm picky when it comes to my martinis!! The food was unfortunately just okay - the fries were good but the boneless chicken wings were bland and I found both of the sauces to be too spicy without much flavor to back them up. With that said, I ordered everything off the happy hour menu so it was like half price. Would I come back? Def not during regular hours but happy hour sure.

Review based on delivery- 5 Napkin Burger and Onion Ring Tower are excellent. Easy to order and quick delivery.

We were seated upon arrival without reservations at a booth for a table of 4. The milkshake came out first so I was done with it by the time the food came out. It seemed that tables that arrived after us received their meals before we did. The patty melt was good but the Parmesan + truffle fries were my favorite part of the meal.

Love the cheeseburgers and crinkle cut fries! The poke nachos are also great--so tasty!

Decent spot for burgers. I had the 5N veggie burger, fries, and a black and white malted shake. The veggie burger had good flavor, I enjoyed the sauce they used on it. The fries had nice texture, and I loved the malt flavor in the shake.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team for the incredible lunch you all provided us. It couldn't have been easy to get 28 meals to us during lunchtime rush but it was SO good and appreciated.Everyone involved commented about how amazing the meals were and how all the accommodations were perfect! You have been requested for next year so guess we will talk again next February. Best wishes and greatest appreciation. Nicole L. Ridgewood Montessori School

Came for happy hour and had a great time! The menu is huge and the restaurant curiously has a pretty fancy looking sushi counter inside (???) but we just ordered off the HH menu this time. My friend and I got $8 frozen watermelon margs, which come with choice of salted or sugared rum. Nothing out of this world (kinda artificially sweet as frozen margs can me), would've loved a mint element to this drink, but this isn't some artisanal organic smoothie shop. The margs were great for a hot summer day and tbh I only had one and was probably a little dehydrated at baseline because I FELT it. We also got an onion ring tower, which came out very quickly and piping hot. It's served with two sauces - blue cheese (ew) and five napkin sauce (my preferred). The onion tower evoked something very nostalgic for me, as I used to indulge in them at Red Robin as a high school orchestra kid in the midwest. These onion rings are battered, not breaded, which is not my preferred, but they're still pretty good. Also service was extremely timely! We got our food and drinks within 5-10 min of ordering. Would come back to try more food off the menu, and maybe milkshakes! Apparently their veggie burger is one of the best in the city.

Picked up some takeout the other day and was pleasantly surprised. The reviews are all of the place for this location, but it's so convenient being located right on 84th and Broadway, it's right in between my sons apt and my hotel. Tuna Poke nachos came packed with lots of fresh Tuna, tomatoes, avocado, Hints of fresh lime, ginger and soy sauce it comes in a separate container so the fresh chips don't get soggy. This dish was surprisingly good. Roasted Brussel Sprouts take the prize! These were to die for! Sautéed in a Thai vinaigrette, with peanuts and sprinkled with red chili flakes. These are totally worth a try. Everything was packed nicely including silverware and napkins. The menus pretty extensive for s burger place. A nice choice of good salads, and creative burgers. I heard the impossible burger is amazing. I'll be back and the have nice outdoor seating with heaters.

Not fancy, but reliably good. I usually get the salmon grains and greens salad, and the fish is not fishy. Spacious and clean.

Exceptional food at reasonable prices. Salads, sushi, and of course burgers. Something for everyone.

We order takeout from 5 Napkin at least 2x/month. Delivery is fast and the food from burgers to salads to milkshakes is always great!

Their impossible burger is the best one I've had. I crave it all the time, and travel all the way across town for it now that the one on the upper east side has closed. Their house cocktails are also very good, albeit not very boozy but that is sort of typical for restaurants like this that want to cater to every palate. French fries are also good, especially with cheese sauce hehe. If you're a vegetarian and craving a meaty burger I highly recommend the one from 5 napkin!

This is my second time at a 5 Napkin Burger location... I do not know what it is, but I feel like the burgers are missing a little something! The burgers are just bland. The service was not there. Guest who arrived after us were greeted and attended to immediately... not us! After I brought it to someone's attention, I was getting better service.... Awkward!!! The only thing good about this visit was the rum punch... It came in a nice cup. Good job bartender!

No matter how often we go, or the season, or the time - 5 Napkin never fails to please! Went last Sunday with a 3 generation family group - from 9 to 79 years old. That's the kind of place it is. Welcoming, attentive service and the happiest vibe! We'd been to a matinee, so we arrived at the odd hour of 4PM. It is a perfect menu for that time. They even serve a large all-day brunch selection. Highlights: Tuna Poke Bowl over homemade potato chips (amazing), Pattymelt (unctuous), Bacon Cheeseburger (the bacon is actually inside the beef!), fresh, delish Greens & Grains salad, classic Fried Chicken & waffles, yummy Artichoke Spinach and Guacamole dips...and the perfectly crispy Tower of Onion Rings. Festive cocktails, juices and wine. The dessert menu looked great, but we were so full - a Carrot Cake was shared and loved by all!

I come here a lot for lunch in the summer because the salads are so filling and refreshing. I'm sure the burgers are great too, but in these temps, the hamburger salad with the grilled salmon on top will fill you to the brim without giving you any meat sweats. Great outdoor seating, very friendly waiters, perfectly cooked fish.

delicious impossible patty melt with sweet potato fries. Fast friendly delivery. I will definitely order again

This place always hits - service is fantastic, food is always on point (and so excited to see sushi back a la old school Five Napkin), and atmosphere is so welcoming. Get the Five Napkin Burger, the Truffle Burger, Tuna Poke, or Buffalo Cauliflower. You won't be disappointed!

Not all sushi is made the same here. It really depends on who is making it. If you're lucky the person who made this plate a few weeks ago, is outstanding! But most of the time, they don't care too much! This day was an exception!

I'd love to like this place more than I do, as we live right around the corner. The service is nice and the selection of draft beer and other drinks is great. But the food can be summed up in one word: Applebee's.

Every time I'm in the area I eat here!! Constantly good Impossible Burger fan!! Truffle-fries to die for

Delicious food, expensive, terrible service. I sat by myself at an outside table. The burger was delicious, and they have gluten free buns. The burger came with a pickle. The side of fries was good but expensive for the portion size. I ordered a club soda with lemon or lime and it came without either. What really surprised me was how little attention my server paid to me. Maybe it was because I was only one person and they were busy with more lucrative tables, but I sat for quite a while before anyone noticed I had finished and I had to ask multiple people to help me get my check. I'm certainly aware that everyone has a bad night so I would try this or another location again, but maybe not by myself next time.

Good Margaritas and delicious tacos .. Shrimp tacos are loaded with guacamole and mix of veggies A bit spicy .. very full filling !! Great food

My son and I came here for his birthday in June of last year. I wish I remembered our servers name, (she's a dancer) but she was great! So friendly, attentive and hospitable, with great conversation. I think we both got truffle burgers and the drinks were delicious as well. My only disappointment was the brownie sundae. I was expecting way more brownie. Otherwise everything was perfect. I think it's time for another visit

Great, thick, juicy burgers.. happy to eat here when I'm in the neighborhood. They will accommodate those on a keto diet.

What happened to this place? The buffalo wings were saturated and soggy. The garlic parmesan wings were so disgusting. The wings are not good quality and hamburger was nothing to write home about. They are taking shortcuts and it's best to take your business elsewhere.
