"On a day off, my top craving is undeniable: a greasy, cheesy, perfect hamburger. I love this spot for its simple ingredients. Try the fried onion burger, because even though I know some people might not go for onions at first, it’s truly delicious." - team infatuation
"Considered a seminal presence in the burger world, it was featured as a ‘legendary’ business in a profile series that highlights classic and notable burger-focused operations and their contributions to American burger culture." - Eater Staff
"Smashburgers are as common as everything bagels in New York, but none are as pleasant to eat than the ones at Hamburger America in Soho. The spot comes from a hamburger historian, and eating at the counter here feels like you’re sitting in a luncheonette from the 1950s—only everyone in here knows what the words “Maillard reaction” mean, and they’re reaping its benefits. Grab a fried onion burger, some fries, and a chocolate milk if you’re feeling frisky." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
"On a convenient corner in Soho, Hamburger America does affordable smashburgers with a heap of doo-wop era nostalgia. Try the Oklahoma-style fried onion burger, which is grilled on top of paper-thin onions that impregnate the beef with their vapors." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, sonal shah, ciera velarde
