Classic smash burgers, fries, and Impossible burgers.
"Debuting Friday, July 25, as the chef Gordon Ramsay’s burger chain’s first U.S. location, this lower-level spot at the Street Pizza site serves American-style smash burgers that differ from the U.K. outposts. The five-ounce double smash patties come in variations like the In-N-Out–style “Next Level” with caramelized onions, pickles, and spicy aioli, and a Hell’s Kitchen–inspired burger with spicy tomato chutney, crispy onions, and jalapeños. The menu also features fried chicken sandwiches, vegan burgers made with harissa-spiced vegetables, buckets of chicken wings, $5 draft beers, and loaded fries." - Tierney Plumb
"This New York-based burger shop opened this summer to long lines, and if you were wondering if it lives up to the hype, the answer is yes. The casual laid-back spot with white tables, metal stools, and a simple serving counter does indeed make great burgers, and they’re as simple as they are delicious—just tender meat, grilled onions, a tangy mayo sauce, pickles, and maybe a slice of cheese." - joe brantlinger, tristiana hinton, omnia saed, madeline weinfield, allison robicelli
"This New York-based burger shop opened in Georgetown last summer to long lines, and if you were wondering if it lives up to the hype, the answer is yes. The, casual laid-back spot, with white tables, metal stools, and a simple serving counter does indeed make a great burger, and they’re as simple as they are delicious—just tender meat, grilled onions, a tangy mayo sauce, and pickles for $6.50. No offense, but Five Guys can take a seat." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed
"I think it's the best burger. I love smash burgers. I don't like burgers that are too thick because then I'm just tasting meat. I like the smash burgers because you get the fat cooking and caramelizing itself on the actual patty and that's the flavor that I'm going for. They're just straightforward. You walk in, it looks like a prison, and they make you a perfect smash burger. The cheese is just American cheese. It's good. You're in you're out. Bye. I think having a limited menu helps to make a place better. When the menu really gets expanding, I always see that as like a warning sign. Just do two things well." - brennan carley
"Despite having only a few ingredients, the cheeseburger from 7th Street keeps digging its way into our brains Inception-style. Roughly-chopped sweet onions are pressed into a 75/25 Schweid & Sons beef patty as it’s smashed with a spatula, resulting in something that’ll remind you of a White Castle slider. The whole thing, with its gooey yellow american cheese, is an unapologetic salute to salt and fat. When you stop by the original East Village location, you’ll probably see a big crowd, and you should join it. But 7th Street has quickly expanded, and now has outposts all over the city." - will hartman, bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, kenny yang
