Burger shack with tiki drinks & homemade soft-serve
"Hidden behind Deep Eddy Cabaret in Tarrytown, Pool Burger feels like a breezy beach shack that’s pineapple-scented and rum-soaked. The Blue Hawaiian burger adds a thick grilled pineapple slice to a beef patty and Thousand Island dressing, which pairs well with the crinkle-cut fries for $14. It’s playful and well-executed. The spot also has two vegetarian-friendly burgers, a $13 patty melt, and a classic double cheeseburger, among other options. The thatched-roof patio only adds to the charm. Best for: Having a burger with a side of pool therapy. Take a dip in the neighboring Deep Eddy Pool and get a tiki drink, like a classic Mai Tai." - Darcie Duttweiler
"Pool Burger is not somewhere you want to go on a Saturday afternoon, unless you’re really into crowds and battling for real estate at the bar. During the week, though, this tiki bar and burger truck next to Deep Eddy is way less packed, and you shouldn’t have any trouble finding somewhere to sit once you get a burger. You might want to avoid ordering one of their frozen Hurricanes on a weeknight, but just get a mai tai or Singapore sling instead and save yourself the inevitable headache." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, max bonem
