BURGERHEAD

My friend has been talking about this burger spot and how they’re seed oil free for a while so I decided to check it out. The atmosphere is nice. There’s a modern/nostalgic burger spot vibe here. Plus they have a decent amount of seating. The menu is seed oil free. Meaning they use healthier oil options. With a good variety of options. I ordered the beef fat fries and double patty charburger. The fries were freshly made and not too much salt on top. You could add ketchup but they’re pretty good on its own. You get 2 decent sized patties on the char burger. They were cooked just right. With veggies, cheese, and sauce. This is a well put together burger I just wish it had more flavor to the patty personally. The burger pairs well with the fries too. The fries are amazing. Think McDonald’s but cleaner. Plus everything was light on the stomach surprisingly. Service here is good and wait wasn’t too long. I came back another time and brought a friend. Same feelings. The burgers don’t make you feel all sluggish and tired. I feel well fed and could go for another one lol.

If you have ever been to Amish country and had real beef burgers, you would enjoy these burgers. The beef tastes clean. The fries are fried in beef tallow. My single and fries felt clean and light unlike fast food or some other places that use a lot of grease. I enjoy the shredded lettuce on the burger as well. If you are looking for a change from pizza, Thai, vegan, and want an American burger, I would highly recommend coming here. The staff are friendly, professional and make great suggestions. Overall, I had a great experience.

This place is a fantastic burger joint! 🍔 BURGERHEAD offers a straightforward menu that includes delicious 🤤 burgers, fries 🍟, wings, and shakes! 🥤 Definitely get the Double Charburger (with house 🏠 sauce 🫙, cheese 🧀, tomatoes 🍅, onions 🧅 , pickles 🥒, and lettuce 🥬) and Beef 🐄 Fat Fries! The staff 👨‍🍳 is welcome and friendly, service is quick ⏲️, the place is nicely decorated 🛋️, and the ambience 🎶 is great! I wish I came here earlier!

This is currently my favorite burger spot in the city. It’s a simple burger with no bells and whistles, and I love that they do it so well. Cheese, bacon, and a well seasoned patty 👌🏾 I didn’t know shoestring fries were my favorite cut of fries until I had them here either. Perfect to go with their milkshakes. And for a burger joint, I’d come back for their wings too.

Great burger spot. I love how they cook the burger and the sauce it has. Definitely a place to stop in for a quick bite. The food came out real quick. I don’t really get the In & Out comparison. I’ve gone to In&Out probably too much and this is not the same. It’s its own thing and plenty good enough.

The atmosphere is clean and welcoming, with a clear focus on nutrition and high-quality ingredients. The menu is straightforward, and the chef’s charred burger, cooked over an open flame, really stands out. If you go for the lettuce wrap, I’d recommend opting for the double patty to keep the proportions in check. The wings, a special during my visit, were exceptional—Bell & Evans Organic, cooked in beef tallow, and tossed just right with a perfect balance of Buffalo sauce. I also appreciate the use of beef tallow and avoidance of seed oils which adds great flavor and keeps the meal clean. For dessert, the simple yet satisfying three-ingredient Häagen-Dazs milkshakes were the perfect finish. This place left me feeling both satisfied and energized.

this burger place is a 10/10. their impossible burger is so good and easy to make vegan by removing the cheese and house sauce. as for the regular burger, per my boyfriend, it is “a classic tasty cheeseburger.” the fries are also great and u can get them cooked without the beef fat to make them vegan! highly recommend this place! very worth visiting and trying out.

Finally a burger joint in NYC that isn’t a smash burger! The Burger was perfect, fresh toppings, and the Chicken Sandwich was great too. The underrated star was the onion rings. Highly recommend!

This place is like The Habit in California. For those who don't know the Habit is a burger place that competes with In N Out and flame grills their burgers instead of frying them. It's good. The fries here are delicious because they cook them in beef fat. It's like a Bougie Burger King that uses better quality ingredients. So yeah its expensive. The only downside is it's kind of pricey. But it's Manhattan so expect to pay big bucks to eat in this part of the city.

A friend and I grabbed some food at Burgerhead - it was overall a good experience! - Staff was helpful and friendly - Onion rings were among my favorite in the city - Burger was decent, though they have a lot of tough competition in the area - Fried chicken sandwich also decent, patty was roughly the size I assumed it would be - Fries were shoestring shaped, crispy and salty (in a good way) - A few tables in the front and then a larger table in the back if you're eating in store but seems they have a solid takeout operation too While not my favorite burger spot, I still enjoyed my meal here!

After a looong day walking in the city, these fries delivered us from hanger. They were fantastic. I think they were $4.75 pre-tax/tip per fry serving. Two servings shown in the photo.

Got this for delivery. Pretty solid burger. Wonder how good it'll be fresh. The beef fat fries and charburger is pretty good.

I tried their double charburger. It reminded me of Five Guys but not as good. It tasted like something I could've made myself, much like Five Guys to be honest. The burger didn't have much char if any. It was a fine burger but nothing special if you couldn't tell. I didn't think prices were bad though. I'd be open to coming back but I might skip the burger. I'd give this place a 3.5 but I'll settle for a 3. It was just a good burger, nothing more, nothing less.

Yum, some of the best burgers in New York. When I think of New York, burgers do not usually come to mind, but now, Burgerhead may have changed my mind.I ordered me the Double Char Burger with 2 beef patties, and the grilled onions on it made it even more delicious. Lots of good seasoning on the burgers. French fries are good too. Golden brown and cooked real well. This place is FIRE. I am a happy man.

INCREDIBLE place!! I got the double double and beef fat fries. The burger is not a Smashburger style so it comes very hefty. It is a classic sesame seed bun so if you don't like potato buns, this is the place for you. They do not skip out on the sauce and it was a perfect combination of melted cheese and sauce. The beef fat fries were delicious. They do a great job salting the fries so there is flavor, and you can taste the beef fat. My only complaint is all of the tables were running low on ketchup. Overall great vibe.

I wouldn't compare it to In n Out at all since there's none in NYC lol. There's so many 7th Street burgers that I'd compare it to that instead. I prefer this burger, it's a LOT less oily and had tomatoes and pickles and lettuce. It's a great classic burger! There was a huge group when I was there literally just screaming at each other from two feet away lol so it was loud but I think normally it would be a pretty chill place to eat. Good music! The service is pretty good - and fast! You can see them making your food right there.

came across this randomly and decided to just try because i was craving a burger. it was very good! great balance of meat and veggies and grease. its a cleaner taste which i like but it also tasted full and hearty.

My husband and I were walking by when we noticed Burgerhead, the concept of the business is similar to in and out, but it's not a smash burger. They serve chargrilled burgers, we ended up getting the cheeseburger with all the toppings. It reminded me of a whopper from BK, but a better version of it. The service was good, it took about ten minutes to get our cheeseburger. The restaurant itself was clean and employees were very nice. We would definitely return if we're in the area.

Heard this place is as close as NYC had to in-n-out burger and so of course I had to come. I went to LA the following week, and got in-n-out, so I had recent comparison experience. DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER So here's where I see that comparison to in-n-out making sense. The bun is actually nicely toasted and has a gentle softness, but the meat-facing side is nicely toasted and has a gentle crunch, which is so nice. This burger is also similar in size, and nice structure-wise. It's SO nice and cheesy. More than an in n out burger. The lettuce is not a whole piece of lettuce but rather shredded. The pickle flavor is nice and strong throughout. The onion as well. I actually really enjoyed this burger, and if given for free with an in n out burger, I might even choose this one tbh. The downside? It's more expensive than in n out (as most things in NYC will be) BEER BATTERED ONION RINGS * gotta get this over the fries. The fries aren't bad by any means, but the beef fat adds so much depth to the onion rings and also, its texture was GREAT. Great sturdiness to the crust of the onion ring, that you can crunch through although yes the onion will still herniate through the skin at times. But less than your typical onion rings FRIES - very solid, on the saltier side, and think in n out fries just saltier and with more crunch. Def would come back if I was craving a burger in the area.

3.5 Slightly improved In-n-Out style burgers. Cheese is a gooey umami improvement from Five Guys. Fries were mediocre. Most importantly, extra grill flavor wasn't there. Prices, like $12 for a double, mean that there's no deal here. Seating in the space is uncomfortable. Selection of hip-hop music is excellent.

I loved this burger -- maybe I'm just a little tired of the smash burger thing? Good onion rings. And the strawberry shake was delicious

Was delish even via delivery! I prefer plain cheeseburgers, so I ordered the double charburger with just meat & cheese and added grilled onions. However, even with just the simple ingredients, it was still really good! It was a bit greasy / the bottom bun was pretty soaked upon arrival, but it was super tasty nonetheless & loved the grilled flavor. Also appreciated that it wasn't over-cooked and was still pink in the middle! I got onion rings on the side, and they surprisingly stayed crispy, though they weren't my favorite onion rings ever (but no complaints)! Might try the fries next time I will definitely be ordering again :)

Charburger. OKAY. The Burger was fine enough but it still needed to be more flavorful. Lettuce and Tomato as Toppings didn't add much to the taste of the Burger. Having said that this Burger can easily compete with the overhyped HAMBURGER AMERICA but not with the Smash Burger establishments. WALK DON'T RUN.

My brother and I were just exploring the city. He had some time off between his clients and I was off for the day. Three hours wandering sounded perfect this afternoon! We were walking along the west side and randomly found this place he ordered the double bacon charburger and I got the single charburger. We shared the fries. All of the food was really good. This was a nice smashed burger with some crispy fries on the side. I ended up getting a vanilla shake. Super tasty and very smooth! Some times places have ice chucks but not here. The service was excellent. We were greeted at the door, order taken quickly. The guy at the register didn't realize we were ordering separately, but once he did he was very quick to get everything in. As far as ambiance? It's a normal quick service spot. Some music, most tables were open. There were some standing tables and some seated. Ac was really nice on that hot day. If you like a good smash burger and fries, I'd highly recommend! Not just anyone can do so well with the basics.

Note: Don't come in here expecting an In-N-Out style burger. Think more fancy better version of a Whopper or something instead though with a different secret sauce. This is a simple concept restaurant replacing Balkan StrEAT which was an excellent well Balkan spot. They didn't really change much here outside of making the menu looking plainer which has his pluses and minuses. It's nice in terms of it's simple look but they need to explain what's on the burger and they also have some extra toppings not listed outside of their online menu which are ketchup, mustard, grilled onions, and cherry peppers. I'm happy that this spot isn't doing the whole smash burger craze and instead is doing char-grilled burgers/charburgers similar to let's say In-N-Out or Habit Burger. The honesty should probably have that as the logo (Char Grilled Not Smashed as per someone on Insta would be excellent.) In terms of prices for food, they at this point don't have any type of combo menu which gets a bit pricey and they should probably add something like this as a lunch special at least maybe for the NYU students as otherwise it's pricey here. On a related note, they don't have tap water or at least they're alluding to that so you have to purchase one of their bottled waters or sparkling. It's $3.50 for seltzer which is a bit much and even more egregious for the bottles which are $1.90. Anyway, I went with the double Char Burger for $11.90 (or $7.90 for the single.) Said burger as per their menu online consists of two grilled-to-order 4 oz patties, toasted sesame seed bun, American cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, & house sauce. As I generally don't like raw onions on burgers, I substituted for grilled onions which wasn't extra which is good and I maybe would have added the cherry peppers if I knew of the option. The burger was the star of the show and the quality was decent with clear grill marks and it was nice and meaty and cooked properly. There wasn't much shredded lettuce which for me is a plus though I think they could have used a bit more grilled onions. There wasn't much tomato either and the pickles were standard. The sauce is different at least being a bit more mustard focused I think. Overall, it was definitely a pretty greasy burger and definitely focused more on the meat rather than any of the other toppings. The French Fries are simple; fried in beef tallow; and are $4.50 for what I would describe as a medium size option from the various fast food spots. They're $4.50 which is alright and the flavor was standard. There was a good crisp and the texture was pretty uniform. Otherwise, I definitely should have gone with the onion rings which other people were having which just looked better and were probably more worth it. I appreciate this place for what they're doing as they're grilling burgers instead of the usual smash but it's a bit greasy and a bit pricey. Luckily for me, the meal which essentially costed $22 was $14 as I had a $8 discount for some reason or another (I guess this was the machine used at the previous place or something) which made it a bit more reasonably priced. 3.4 lowered.

Rating: more like a 3.5 overall I'm from cali and have been craving an in n out burger so when I saw an ig post saying it's what they think in n out should taste like, I knew I had to come. I liked that there's seating available to be able to eat on the spot. Charburger: I added grilled onions and sweet peppers (which I appreciate is an available topping that is shown on the website but not the in store menu). I tried requesting whole grilled onions but I don't think the cashier understood English too well and only got the grilled onions but it wasn't a big deal cuz I mostly just wanted grilled onions. All the components were done properly and the overall burger was good but nothing remarkable in taste tbh, especially for almost $8. I did appreciate that they put a good amount of each component throughout the burger so you would get every one in every bite. As for how it compares to in n out, definitely incomparable. Main obvious differences are the totally different buns, lettuce cut, and sauce flavor profile. The buns are less buttery and flavorful and the house sauce is basically just a thick mustard and wasn't rly special in general imo. Only reason for the comparison is due to the post I saw that made it. If anything, it'd be more comparable to the habit I think. Onion rings: definitely more impressed by the rings than the burger. They were well seasoned, perfectly crispy, and loved that I could take a clean bite and not end up pulling out the entire onion inside. I am curious to try their chili so might come back for that but probably would pass on the burger. It's still an overall good burger but I think I can find better at this price point.

Don't get me wrong, this is a very good burger, a good amount of meat for the price, it's nice and cheesy, I didn't get a tomato slice, would've liked one and there wasn't that much lettuce. The reason for my three stars, I ordered this through Uber Eats and they put a wax type paper on their burger, the burger actually absorbed the wax paper and it made the burgers flavor change and in some spots of the burger like the center, you could taste the burger, but around the sides it was just a different taste. I didn't like the fries, they were really short, and hard. I'm willing to give this burger, another shot and go in and try it without ordering it on Uber eats. And there must've been something in the press saying this was like an In-n-Out, I'm from the Bay Area, this is nothing at all like an In-n-out burger. I would compare more to a WhataBurger or Carl's Jr.

Best fast-casual/fast food style burger around, and is a great change of pace from the current smash burger craze. Not a lot of in-store seating, but still a great atmosphere. Service also great, as you can typically expect your food in 5-7 minutes after ordering.

Burgerhead is okay. I wasn't too impressed with the burger, though it was decent overall. The bun was slightly crisp. The price is higher than the other notable burger chains in the city. Though if you're craving chili cheese fries, Burgerhead does offer them.

This spot is mean. I love a burger joint with good onion rings, and this foots the bill like crazy. Solid burgers, quick service and Mexican cokes, come on G's I couldn't be more excited.

Loved the impossible burger. It included cheese, onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles and the house sauce. Good price too.

This place seriously blew me away. The burger was phenomenal--perfectly charbroiled, super flavorful, and just done right. Everything was in perfect proportion: the lettuce, tomato, onion, bun--nothing slid around or fell apart, which never happens. It held together the whole time, didn't get soggy, just solid start to finish. You can tell the meat is legit good quality, and the place itself is really clean. The prices are so good for what you get at about $7ish for a single patty burger,but was quite big and filling, definitely not a smash burger which is such a welcomed change from all the hype. I see some reviews think Burgerhead is a bit overpriced but I personally kindly must disagree considering the smash burgers around town, for example, 7th street where a burger is half the size, is the same price and not nearly as quality / fulfilling. No way would I personally feel full off a single patty 7th street burger. A burgerhead burger is a meal. Truly there's none like this in the city. The co-owner was actually there when I went, and he was incredibly friendly and very grateful when I told him how much I enjoyed it. This spot gets it right.

Have been here twice, it is like if a big mac and whopper combined into one and were high quality. Fries and Onion rings also immaculate. No notes.

The double Charburger has excellent grilled flavor! Juicy, well seasoned. The beef fat fries were light and crispy with plenty of salt and good-fat-flavor. Can't wait to try the onion rings!

My second review. OMG. The best tasting burger. I found by accident on UBER eat . BUT omg. The BEST!!! I would share a photo, but it didn't make it that long before it was gone. But this is the best burger!!

Some of the best burgers I have had in the city. Service was fantastic. Everyone has always been very cool and super courteous. The beef fat fries are excellent as well.

Simple but DELICIOUS!! I had the charbroiled chicken sandwich with fries! Enjoyed it!!!

Best burger in the city. Imagine a luxury Carl's Jr on steroids. The char grill makes all the difference. Juicy, fresh and delicious. Make sure to get the double patty. Fries are great too. Good vibe, music and friendly staff. Highly recommended!!

Good but not extraordinary. Bit overpriced so tempted to give two stars but it is NYC so letting it go.

Five star burgers! French fries are crispy and burgers are really good. - Micah (age 10)

SO good!! Best burger we've had in awhile and amazing fries. Better than 7th street in my opinion. And my husband loved his milkshake which is saying something because he orders late night shake shack milkshakes at least twice a week!

Greta service and food. Very tasty and a cool vibe. I had the double burger. Service was quick.

I am not a frequent burger eater (for no particular reason) and I don't have In-and-Out as a reference. I had a sudden craving for a burger and the simple cheeseburger hit the spot 100% -- silent enjoyment. I like that they figured out the toppings and sauce and you don't have to make any choices.

the workers are very friendly and took my order even just before closing. the food was excellent, i was nit-picky with my order but they accommodated. big fan of the fries cooked in beef fat! no nasty seed oils. portion size is good.

the burger was truly amazing. the staff was extremely kind...don't get me started on the head i received
