7th Street Burger Upper West Side

Went to this small burger joint with my girlfriend, who lives a few blocks away. It’s a narrow little spot near Central Park definitely more of a takeout place than a dine-in one, so I’d suggest grabbing your food and heading to the park or home. That said, if you love burgers like I do, this place is exceptional. Easily one of the best burgers I’ve had in New York. I got the single patty cheeseburger, and everything was on point the bun, the meat, the sauce all absolutely delicious. The fries were also really good, not a 10/10, but close, and the dipping sauce was excellent. Surprisingly affordable for NYC: the cheeseburger was about $8, fries around $5, and we paid roughly $26 total for two. It was a bit crowded, so we waited a few minutes, but totally worth it. Highly recommend this place is going straight into my top burgers list. Five stars.

Great bang for buck smash burger spot. Chips were excellent, but the burgers a tad small. It's to be expected for the price you are paying though. Make sure to order the double patty when popping in.

Tried 7th Street Burger on the Upper West Side and I get the hype now. I ordered a double cheeseburger with regular fries and everything hit the spot. The burger was juicy with that old school griddle flavor and the house sauce pulled it all together perfectly. Fries were hot and crispy. The place is small but full of character with walls covered in bills from around the world and some cool photo decor. If you’re in the area and craving a solid burger this is the move.

Classic smash burger, the patties are small so suggest getting a double. It's done really well with a lot of flavor. The fries are crisp and just the right amount of salt. Great for a quick bite to eat.

The food was really delicious and I enjoyed it a lot. The portions weren’t as big as I expected and a little on the pricey side, and I personally found it a bit greasy — but overall it was very tasty and worth trying!

Not A bad price for NYC burgers. We all got cheeseburgers and loaded fries to share. Juicy and yummy but the loaded fries were the best! Loved the sauce and the taste of the Pattie on top. Overall, would recommend to give it a try here.

My favorite burger right now probably because I do love a soft bun and American cheese on occasion. I ordered the single cheeseburger with everything on it (I believe it was just onions, sauce and pickles). I surprisingly really like the fries and I especially love them with the house sauce on the side. Highly recommend if you want a delicious American burger and quick service.

Solid addition to the UWS neighborhood, which was in need of an OG, no-frills burger joint. The double cheeseburger is really good, and pretty reasonably priced at $11 given the quality. The loaded fries are really tasty, but honestly, they are way too heavy and are probably going to leave you uncomfortably full. Stick with the regular fries, which are better in my opinion. My only criticism of this place is the lack of seating. There's a small table that can sit four to five people and a standing bar area right on the wall, but it's tough to land a spot in a place that gets this busy.

A Burger Place Like Many Others, for Better or for Worse I strolled into 7th Street Burger on Labor Day after a heavy night of drinking and asked for a double jalapeño cheeseburger ($10), loaded fries ($11.50), and a Mexican Sprite ($3.50, all of which totaled out to around $28, post tax. The burger, with its greasy yet chewy potato bun, juicy patties, and assorted toppings of onions and pickles, blend together into an American classic. The loaded fries, raved about in many other reviews, seem to be your typical mix of meat, onions, sauce, and fries. I wish the sauce could permeate to the other fries underneath without making the top layer too soggy, but unfortunately that seems to be the way of the world rather than the fault of the cook. My main issue is with quantity and experience. Quite frankly, it's hard to mess up a burger and fries. It's even harder, in my opinion, to make it so good it justifies an elevated Manhattan price tag for not a lot of burger or fries. Yes, we could point to the COL, the rent, inflation, whatever. But regardless, in my opinion, it was disappointing. Especially in a place where the indoor seating is limited to 3-4 benches and tables and the outdoor seating consists of either two sad metal stools and a table (w/ no shade!) or an outdoor awning with 2 high tables and chairs that annoyingly do not go high enough to sit comfortably in and eat my food. And I had to open my own Sprite and ended up spilling some on my favorite pair of jeans, though admittedly that was probably a skill issue. For $28, I'd rather go to a place where I get served my burger and fries, where they're probably better proportioned, I get free water, there's ample indoor seating, and my Sprite is opened for me. All in all, I will say, the burger and fries tasted pretty good. But pretty good does not cut it. I have to have a reason to want to come back, whether convenience, quality, experience, quantity, X factor, etc., and 7th Street did not give me that reason.

Heard so much good things about this burger place so I decided to order through delivery. Can't comment on service or ambiance, but the double cheeseburger + extra grilled onions I got was very good. Perfectly greasy and cheesy.

This is one of their latest locations since 7th Street Burger has been expanding around the city. The place is pretty small and it's more of a take out place due to the small size. They do have 2 tables inside and outdoor seating. The lines of people ordering or waiting for their food make it feel very crowded. The menu is simple, they offer a regular cheeseburger, double cheeseburger, impossible burger, loaded fries, and regular fries. I was feeling very hungry and ordered the double cheeseburger. The double cheeseburger was actually not that big, 2 beef patties that are smashed on the grill, with pickles, onions on a soft potato bun. I opted out of the house sauce since I'm sure it contains mayonnaise, which I hate. The cheeseburger was good and just the right amount of greasy. I liked the simplicity of the burger, but my friend complained that it didn't have any flavor. We didn't try the French fries, but maybe next time, I will add them since I was not full after eating the double cheeseburger.

Sometimes you need a greasy burger and this place will hit the spot. A smashed burger with onions that and cheese with some fries makes for a classic meal. Opened relatively late so you could grab a bite after a few drinks. Small space inside with a few tables. Overall, one of those places for when you want something savory and quick.

It is what it is. You can't get five dollars to a takeout place but if you could, that place will deserve it. Unless you check all the boxes on ambience service, and food I don't believe in that there are five stars Since I focus on service, this is a takeout place so let's just say the person taking the order had a great personality very helpful and attentive The fries were hot and cooked to perfection and way too many for what I ordered so that's a plus The burger way too small for what I paid, but packed with flavor and delicious really great snack, burger and a short time Maybe it's just after drinking food, but I would get this burger anytime

Online ordering sends inaccurate order-ready messages. Their staff is sarcastic and unsympathetic. This place is a must to avoid because orders are reported ready when they're not. Their staff is sarcastic. I've ordered twice here and never again.

4.5 / 5.0 - 7th Street Burger is my favorite burger in the city and I was so thrilled when they opened one up in UWS. They have a simple menu and I generally order: - Double Cheeseburger ($9.50+) - Mexican Coke ($3.50+) - Fries ($4.50) to share The burgers aren't big, so I recommend the Double Cheeseburger over the Cheeseburger. This location has one table inside for dining in, so my friend and I went around noon when it opened to grab it. They do also have a small bar table for standing. When you go upon opening, I guess it takes some time for them to prepare. The wait is generally not long, but this time, we waited 20 minutes for our burgers. We had our table so it was ok, but the staff hadn't informed us of the wait and it would've been good to know. You may need to time your visit, but if you are looking for a tasty, greasy burger, this is the spot.

Awesome cheeseburger. IMO: a better Big Mac Prices fair. Location good. Staff okay. Little scary looking store but worth the beef !! Will return

The person at the cash register was very nice. The facility is nice too. Unfortunately, this was the worse burger i've ever had and it made me severely sick. I'm from chicago, so i'm no stranger to greasy foods, especially grilled onions. The moment I opened the burger it fell apart (it was only wrapped up for maybe 5 mins). It was giving taco burger? Anyway, after only being able to eat 1/4 of the burger I got really sick and spent the night in bed not feeling well. I don't think they drained the grease at all. honestly the burger tasted like someone dipped it in oil, and then wrapped it up. The fries are great. I'm only giving the 1 star because people should be warned about ordering here. Also my total was $20 after tip.

We were staying at a hotel down the street and decided to get a burger for lunch. We were so pleasantly surprised by how delicious this burger was, but especially how good the loaded fries were. The fries were so crispy with the perfect amount of sauce, cheese, grilled onions, and the beef patty obviously was super juicy. We're still thinking about the fries and would definitely come back for them. We'd probably get the spicy ones next time!

It's weird but I feel like this 7th street doesn't really belong on the upper west side it looks like a coffee shop inside. The food is okay because I ordered one burger it was really good then the next one messed up my stomach. The service was alright you can tell nobody wanted to be working there that night.

Solid burger but I wish it included lettuce and onions too. The patty is like a smash burger with some crispy edges. The house sauce is good. The service is fast and there are a couple of tables inside to sit at. The fries were also pretty good. Love a place that is simple, but does it well. Price was reasonable for NY as well.

We ordered the cheese burger, the price was too high for that much food, the service is so bad, they hadn't salt for food

Vibe: N/A - takeout only at this location Service: 10/10 - ordered online and it was ready right when I got there Value: 9/10 - hard to beat in NYC Cheeseburger: 9/10 - really enjoyed the juiciness of the burger and the house sauce! Wish it was a big larger so personally would go for the double next time Double cheeseburger (not pictured): 9/10 - the one thing we would've improved on it is that we just wish the meat was a little more crisp for a smashburger. House sauce, bun, and onion were great Loaded beef fries: 9.5/10 - delicious and a great price Overall: 9.3/10 (4.65/5)

I pulled up with friends after the bar and Wowwwwww. This was the best cheeseburger I've ever had. Single cheeseburger with grilled onions and pickles. I hate pickles on my burgers but this one gets a pass. No lettuce & tomato was needed !! The burger was tender and very tasty. The cheese was melted to perfection. I also got french fries with a side of the spicy sauce. That sauce is fire!!! I loved everything. Great food and service. We got to enjoy our food at the outdoor seating area.

3.5/5 So this is the 4th location that I have visited. Compared to my last visit in Chelsea, the ambience in terms of the music was better. This location at least didn't look like a hospital room like the Chelsea location and had a few paintings hung up. You could actually hear yourself amongst the music. It is a tight space, with limited seating. I waited approximately 20 minutes and had to stand since there was no seating available, which compared to the 45 minute wait on my last experience, at least was better. But, for such a limited menu and the simplicity of this menu it should take less than 10 minutes. From a burger perspective, compared to my first two experiences at different locations the patty was more well done and not as juicy, the cheese was not as gooey and melty, and the toppings more scarce. There are alot of smashburgers in nyc and burgers in general and this burger is definitely not the best. There is definitely a lot of social media hype around this chain and they are expanding too fast and losing consistency and quality in their product. They need to focus on timing, service, and consistency with all of these locations.

Sometimes you just want a greasy flavor-bomb of a burger. I'm fully onboard with the smash burger craze. This has its own unique twist, diced onions and a great burger sauce. I've got some other smash burger places to try before I can crown any the best, but 7th Street Burger is the best one so far. You might think the double cheeseburger is awfully small but it's heavier than it looks. I wasn't kidding about the delicious grease. It's a lot and you don't want to overdo it. One double and a Mexican Coke is plenty for me in one sitting. I always add the Loaded Beef Fries, but I end up eating those the next day. Fries, one burger patty, smothered in onions and the burger sauce... I like it as much as the burger. Plus it reheats real nice. Delivery is fast and the food travels well so it always comes still hot and in good condition. I've eaten in the store once. Be warned, there's not a lot of seating. The only seating is a bench in the front window with no table. The rest of the space consists of two standing table tops. I've seen all the tables and the bench full during a rush, so be prepared to take it to go. Even when it's busy, service is fast both in store and delivery. So far, 7th Street Burger is in my S-tier of burgers. I simply love these little grease bombs!

Not the warmest welcome awaits you at this super tiny location, where a small bench is all you have as a sitting option. Hence, come here for take out. No restrooms available. Burgers are average. I think what makes people come back is the amount of sauce they put, which can make an ok burger taste like a good one. Still, I think that $9.50 for a small double cheeseburger is a bit much for the quality you get. I wouldn't come back anytime soon.

Very nice burgers and good fries. Definitely an old style burger place aesthetic. We also ordered them for delivery and it was also really good. Not much more to say, if you want to eat an old style burger, give this place a chance.

This place is a must if you want a good burger and fries for an affordable price. Every other place we looked at was extremely expensive for a burger and fries, but this place was great. It's a very small establishment, but don't let that fool you, it's a great burger and I loved the fries so much. They have some of the best fried I've eaten. There's only one table to sit at and the other tables are standing tables only. The employees were friendly and the food was fresh and hot when it came out. They have a big bucket of ketchup at the tables.

bro what are these BIG backs on. like??? we literally just filled ourselves to the brim with pizza and now you want a burger?? but i shouldn't be saying anything because i played into it and got a burger too. my friend was like omg the impossible burger is sooooo good. and i'm not one to ignore a recommendation so i got that like a sucker. but not really a sucker cuz why was it actually good? lowkey i might start getting this now! fire impossible burger actually. honestly 7th street burger is a small burger but compared to the other small burger joints i've been to, this has been the best BY FAR. 4.5 stars!

Heard a lot about this place and decided to try. It definitely has a decidedly Gen-Z (and onward) demographic, since most of the clientele were high school and college students. On a Friday night, it was incredibly crowded, with a fairly long line and a 20-min wait. They also don't have much seating, consisting of a few small 2-seater outdoor tables, so be prepared to stand or share tables while you eat. As for the food, it's quite affordable ... for good reason. The burgers are tiny, barely larger than sliders. They're also no-frills - you're not getting arugula, truffle fries, and ciabatta buns here. A 4 inch beef patty, a pickle, a lettuce slice, sauce, and a flattened, sad-looking bun. That's what you're getting for $6-8. I'm really not a big eater, but I still felt pretty hungry after wolfing down my burger (in about 6 bites). That being said, the burger was quite pleasant and much better than expected. It's definitely a "SpongeBob" experience where quality reigns supreme over quantity, and looks aren't what they seem. If only it were double the size, I think I'd be more inclined to pay double the price for it. My favorite were the spicy loaded fries. They were delicious and absolutely worth the price. Overall, I'd definitely return again (maybe during a less busy time, and maybe when I'm not especially hungry).

There no room to seat and seat comfortably. It's definitely grab food and eat some where else kind place. The food was very good. I did not know the burgers are so small, I should have got two. The service was great, the food came out very quickly.

Kinda went here in accident, but it's a great burger. Classic smash Burger style, fries very crispy. Service was very nice. Place is a little tight.

Not my favorite location but a 7th street grease bomb through and through! The fries were drenched in salt which was a big upset but the burger sort of needed it, I just smothered everything in pickles from the fridge when I got home and wished I had more meat and cheese to put in my mouth. So, I suppose they're still pretty damn good, huh?

To start...the workers were nice and polite. I ordered the double cheeseburger and it was so juicy and tasty. The loaded fries were plentiful..they do not skimp out. I was so full after my meal and will be going back! I def recommend this place to everyone thinking about going here. The only "con" is that there is no indoor seating but you can take it to go or find a place nearby to sit.

7th Street Burger has been top on my list of places to try for a hot minute. I've seen people raving about it on Tiktok and noticed more and more of these popping up around the city. 7th street burger has a very simple meny similar to In-n-out making their service fast and delicious each time. When I arrived in the staff was friendly and helped me make a decision on if I wanted a single patty or a double. I'm glad that I went with the double because once smashed they burgers get tiny. The food came out quickly and as I took my first bite I was pleased with the burger mostly because of the house sauce and the bunnnn! So soft. So yummy. My only concern was the burger was very oily, so much that the wrapper was soaked when I went to eat it. I'm not sure if the burger still would've been good if I'd commuted with it and didn't eat it immediately. The fries were salted well and crispy... LOVED THEM! I could definitely see myself eating this after a night out... good thing they're open late.

Nice burger at a reasonable price. Quick service and a very fresh product. Service was on point and the order was 100% correct.

Ok, here's the deal, New Yorkers love it because it's the cheapest meal on the island. It's a no frills kinda place, the food is just fast food average. Low quality burger patty on basic bun traditional yellow American sliced cheese grilled onions and pickles. The 2oz burger is charred to the brink of being burnt. The bun was toasted. Honestly it was under whelming. The fries were also just cheap fast food. Overly salted yet crispy and hot. I can't fault the staff as they are just working for the man. the place was kept clean and tidy and they were very friendly.

The location was good! I had a regular cheeseburger and fries. The I really enjoyed the fries. They had a good consistency. Not too airy but not to dense or cakey. The kind you get sad when you run out of. I liked the burger. I think the double cheeseburger would be my go to next time. I think having that little extra will make a difference. LOVE that they had orange soda as a drink option. You know I had to cop that. It's a good spot for a little cheat day on your diet.

Finally the UWS gets what it has long needed, Manhattan's bestest burgers within walking distance, 7th Street Burger. The hippest of the hippest already know of the famed burger joint, which is a fan-fave in other parts of the city for awhile now. Named for its original location in the East Village that instantly gained a huge following before it became a TikTok sensation. 7th Street Burger it's a stand out on Amsterdam Ave and 80th Street where it is a refreshing treat among the bougie eateries, many of which can't hold a candle to the trendy and deliciousness that is 7SB. What sets 7SB apart from all the wannabe fast food places that serve burgers among its offerings is that 7SB focuses on one thing and one thing only which is making burgers. It doesn't try to do 100 different things okay. It simply stays the course (pun intended) and gives 100 percent to making absolutely the best tasting burger in the city. That's no small feat. There are many that try to do this, but only a few succeed; and none do it as good or as scrumptiously as the people here. Warning: Once you've put one of their double cheeseburgers to your lips, your lips will quivering from the taste of those bad boys; they are so packed with flavor. More often than not I find it better to order a couple because it's one of those things you can't get enough of. They are addicting in the best possible way. And for the late night crowd, OMFG, it's the thing you didn't know you needed but will be so glad you found to satisfy that craving. There's a reason why 7SB has become so popular and opening up new locations throughout the city. Welcome to the 'hood 7th Street!!

Was invited here as part of a Yelp Elite event. We ordered two of their double cheese burgers, fries, and Mexican cokes. The burgers and fries were delicious, and loved the decor and space as well. It's much more spacious from some of the other 7th Street Burger locations in the city. Staff were friendly and prompt, and would definitely come back here again!

They have just introduced the cheeseburger with jalapeño. It is the greatest thing you can eat in New York for $7. OMG it's so good. Bravo 7th Street. You keep getting better and better.

this may have been the best burger i've ever had (so far). the wait for the burger took a lot longer than expected (20ish minutes), but dare i say that it was worth it?! the patties were well seasoned, and the cheese perfectly melted! i loved the addition of the house sauce, i think it really added a nice element to the burger. they also gave us a sizeable amount of fried, which was great too. when im back in nyc, i will definitely be stopping by here again.

I continue to frequent this place as they have some of the best smash burgers in the city for the value. They always make fresh burgers and have absolutely excellent fries. Their burgers are super crispy and the cheese and sautéed onions. Aiko on top of it are excellent. I especially like that they include pickles on their burger as well for a nice vinegar crunch. Now, for the fries, those fries might be the best Fries I've ever had. They easily have to double fry them up or fry them in a special oil to get them that crispy, that well seasoned, and that amazing. Hospital always, they have Coke in a glass bottle. You cannot convince me that there is any better version of Coke then in a glass. Such a perfect meal as always. Every one of their locations are spot on accurate with their order and quality control is there.

Excellent service Super friendly staff Busy, but quick and efficient Delicious food!!!! Definitely try if you're in the area! Plus they're open til 3am.

This was my second time trying 7th Street burger (first was in the Greenwich Village Location on MacDougall), and I was still blown away (consistently delicious and filling smash burger). The value is a steal - with such a reasonable priced burger and fries (especially for NYC) that is also very tasty and will satisfy the largest smash burger craving. What I really liked about this location in particular, was that the operation seemed super efficient (we got there with a pretty long line, but ended up getting our food well within the 15 min estimated window) and the folks working at the counter were super friendly! They helped us with questions and gave us recommendations on how much / what we should order based on our hunger levels. Will definitely be back again next time I'm in the neighborhood!

Wow! Bomb burger for a bomb price. You can get 2 burgers, 2 fries and 2 drinks all for $25. For UWS prices, that's a deal. The burger itself was sublime. I simple, no fuss burger with a punch of flavor. Add a side of delicious Fries and you've got yourself the perfect weekend dinner. The service was fast, they were very crowded and cranking out orders. Highly recommended.

**scratches my head** Yeah, I don't get it. This place opened with a TON of hype, lines down the block. Literally everyone said the burgers were amazing, and we are so lucky to have one of these on the UWS. But...not only have I had better, it's underwhelming at best. And overrated at worst. So the burgers are pedestrian. Similar to Shake Shack, maybe they're also using Pat Lafrieda, but Shack is better quality IMO. Maybe it's the preparation? I dunno. So they promote the heck out of their fries, which you can get plain or with their special fry sauce. But they also have like these fully loaded fries, which has like onions, spread and chopped hamburger beef. So reminiscent of animal style fries by In N Out, which as you know, aren't on the east coast. But at $13 a pop...? You'd expect to be able to share. But nope. They're very small, and you end up fighting over it lol. So a double cheeseburger costs just as much as their fully loaded fries. And you're hungry afterwards. Save your money and go to shake shack where at least you'd know what you're getting.

I would visit here just for their fries and their IMPOSSIBLE burgers. They also have an IMPOSSIBLE loaded fries. I wish the place had more tables to put our food on but it gets pretty crowded and they just have two tables. Love it how they have bottle openers attached to the walls.

This spot is always good for a quick burger fix. The burgers are delicious and juicy . They are made quickly and made to order. Definitely a good spot. The fries are good and the price is good . You can't go wrong eating here . Staff is always cool too. The spot is small , so there might be a little line and a little wait but worth it .

Love the burgers here. small place. Not Many places to sit. The servera were a bit rude but, all i cared about was a burger.

These burgers are just sooo amazing. I got a double with everything on it, it was pure happiness! I also grabbed an order of fries which I love that they season with salt and pepper - most places don't put pepper. There are spots to eat inside, 2 small standing tables and some benches at the front. I like to eat my burgers while they are fresh so appreciate that they have space to do so!

In the last few years, 7th Street Burger has taken NYC by storm. New locations are popping up like smoke shops in the newly decriminalized haze. This location on the UWS is now the SEVENTH 7th Street Burger in the city. That's a location for each Harry Potter book, ancient wonder of the world, or deadly sin. Speaking of, let's talk about gluttony. These are beautiful, archetypal, NYC-style smash burgers. Like our apartments and savings accounts, NYC-style smash burgers tend to be smaller and thinner than those found elsewhere. The burgers are compromised of high quality beef with just the right amount of fat (and in the right place--your mouth). The grilled onions and pickle complement the juiciness of the meat, and the potato bun sponges up the drippings well. You might want to grab some extra napkins. The menu offers no distractions. You're here for a burger and fries with a coke. The simplicity is refreshing, though speaking of refreshments, I did run across the street to buy a diet soda from elsewhere. The glass bottle coke from here tastes better, but diet soda preserves my delusions that I am a healthy person. And makes it easier to justify coming back here again next week.

Asked to pay for a cheeseburger, but to hold the patty. Have had this from other 7th street locations and was never an issue. Guy at the register refused and was rude about it too. Yes, there's an impossible burger, but I don't know any vegetarians who want to eat something that is meant to taste like/imitate meat?? Only going to UES location from now on.

It's ya average burger spot. Ummmmm the smash patty was very thin so I see why you would order the double vs the single. The fries were freaking AMAZING hands down the best thing on the menu. I missed out on the chopped cheese fries but next time. The customer service is on point and energetic at this location.

Super simple menu, comes out quick, and one of the only places I know that charges under $10 for a burger.

I can't remember how many 7th street burger I've been to at this point. On a Friday night around 11pm. There's really not that many options around UWS. While we were wondering around on the street on this cold ass day. It's nice to see an Berger joint that still opens and have food Since this is a self service burger joint. I usually just like to get a burger, a drink, and eat on the side. honestly, you can't get any more New York than this

The service was fantastic! Chris and Natalia took my Peter Pan song request and had a blast! Food was 10 out of 10 and the people made it that much better! Will be back! - Abe and Jayna
