Grass-fed beef burgers, smashburgers, and unique hot dogs
"Your Order: The smashburger ($8), but also the cheeseburger ($13), for comparison’s sake. If you dream of special sauce, you should go to Mighties. The casual spot in The Market Line is from the teams behind Wildair and Ends Meat, and serves a variety of smashburger that is so smashed, and so crispy, that it hangs lazily off the sides of its bun, as if it knows the importance of that first, bunless, meaty bite. They also do regular cheeseburgers topped with lettuce, onions, tomato, something called “the mightiest sauce”, and some very delicious pickles. This is the place to get one of each, and then decide once and for all whether you’re more of a burger person, or smashburger person. " - Willa Moore, Neha Talreja, Will Hartman
"A collab between the teams behind Wildair and Ends Meat, Mighties’ burgers are outrageously beefy in all the right ways. There are a few different varieties to choose from at this counter-service spot, but you should go with the double-patty Mighties burger with chopped onions, special sauce, and cheese to best appreciate the excellent quality of the meat. There aren’t too many toppings to distract from the big, charred disks of beef, which come cooked a perfect medium. Despite being run by people behind some of our favorite restaurants in NYC, Mighties is never too busy—which means you can stop by on a whim, grab a burger and crispy fries, and set up shop next door at The Grand Delancey to wash everything down with a beer." - Carlo Mantuano
"Though diminutive in size, Mighties in the Market Line food hall, under Essex Market, comes from chefs Jeremiah Stone and Fabián von Hauske Valtierra, who run the restaurants Contra and Wildair. Its connection with the Ends Meat butcher counter a few steps away guarantees the freshest beef. The little Mighties burger consists of a skinny patty, or two, with onions, pickles, cheddar cheese, and a burger sauce that tastes like the one at McDonald’s, across the street." - Luke Fortney, Robert Sietsema
"This Lower East Side grab-a-burger, snarf-a-burger, carry-on-with-life spot from the Wildair and Contra team is collaborating with Dhamaka on a special this week. Stop by Mighties in the Market Line on Thursday, November 11th, and Friday, November 12th starting at noon to try their masala-spiced beef patty with mango chutney and yogurt mint sauce - plus some masala fries while you’re at it." - hannah albertine
