BURGERHEAD

The burgers have a good size, very filling. Good buns, fresh lettuce and tomatoes. But the meat isn’t the best to be honest. It felt a little rubbery, lacking of flavor, and overcooked. I think for fries and a drink w the burger is a little overpriced. Good customer service! And convenient place to stop by for a burger.

Awesome to have a fresh alternative burger spot that can rival 7th Street Burger and other burger joints. The burger was juicy and had a great combination of toppings and sauce that made it mesh really well together. The location was also really clean, and I noticed as soon as someone left the dining area somebody would come wipe down the table immediately. Will be going back, fantastic spot.

Went to Burgerhead on a Sunday. It wasn't too packed. As with most smash burger places, the meny is pretty simple. The burgers are flame broiled. Got the double charburger and shoestring fries. Burger patties were cooked well. I did not add mustard or pickles. The special sauce is a mayo / ketchup mix that was pretty good. Service was fast. Had a vanilla shake (not pictured) which was good as well. Pricing wasn't bad for a double cheeseburger with bacon. Would recommend for a casual lunch or dinner.

Everything about this place is fantastic. The charburgers are amazing, the patties are actually charred and the taste is perfect. I ordered a double charbuger and fries. The patties were perfect, not greasy like they usually are at other fast food places, the smell of charred meat was hit the spot right. The fries were crisp and delicious. The atmosphere is awesome. Everything is really clean and neat, music was at the perfect volume level. The service was also exceptional. Both front and back of the house worked as one, so there was no delay during preparation. An absolute must!

The burgers were good, but the meat could be better—it lacked the flavor and quality I was expecting. That said, the other ingredients and overall presentation were great, and the service was friendly. With a little improvement in the meat, it could easily be a 5-star experience!

Fries are amazing, maybe some of the best I've had in the city. Cooked in beef fat and perfectly crispy. Burgers are decent, I like that they don't smash them like all the other faddy pop-up places so you get a little pink in the middle. But the beef quality maybe could be better, maybe a little dry-aging and more fat? Nice spot too. Prefer this to Hamburger America and 7th St to be honest.

I’m always in the look for a new burger place to try. BURGERHEAD did not disappoint! The double charburger was perfectly done, hot, juicy, just enough sauce and toppings. For a flame charred burger this was fantastic. Great mixture of different flavors. I enjoyed the house sauce a lot! Fries were also pretty good but could’ve used more salt, overall they were pretty standard. Clean restaurant, good service, delicious burger. I ordered a burger and fries and the wait was about 5min or so. I’d definitely go back for another burger, but maybe skip the fries next time. Adding fries raises the cost for lunch a little higher than I’d like to spend consistently.

Wild good. The flame cooked flavor is sort of like a Burger King whopper on steroids, and definitely feels like it sits as a counterpoint to the smash/flat top spots. Also reminds me of cookout for all you southerners. The sauce was really unique, I tasted some mustard in it but also a whole bunch of other unique things I can’t identify. It was almost like each bite tasted different. Loved it.

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 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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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