On a downward trajectory
Burger is good, no doubt. But the entire experience has eroded over time. Itโs resting on its laurels and it shows. Read Pete Wellsโ review of Peter Lugers - itโs a similar situation happening here.
Be the first to Replyunbelievably arrogant table service
This experience was a lesson to me in the perils of going to so-called 'top' places in a city you don't know. We arrived around 9.30 and within a few minutes, the host got us a seat towards the back. Nice buzzy place, great food coming out to tables. My husband saw immediately that our waitress had an issue with the fact we had been seated in her area, so straight away the scene was set: sit down quickly, be grateful you even have a table. The same lady came over to take our order, no sign of a menu so we asked for one. Her response was a lazy wave to the QR code, and with an unmistakable look of boredom/ disdain, she wandered away. She didn't say one word: no welcome, no explanation (sorry we don't do menus, whatever). At that point I noticed a chalkboard over our head (the phone/QR route is just too time consuming when you're from overseas) so I stood up to take a look; we agreed on what we wanted., and there we sat for 15 solid minutes while she wandered around the place completely ignoring us, but making it really obvious at the same time. So now it's coming close to 10pm, we're starving, don't know the area, have no plan B, and even if we do end up getting served, we just don't want to be around such negativity and we really don't want the hassle that will surely follow when we leave zero tip. So we walked out, went back towards our hotel and picked up a pizza slice on the way (served with a smile). We did run into the host on the way out, but he appeared powerless to make it better. One customer who I gather was local suggested to me the waitress must be 'having a bad day'...this lady clearly has form. Places like JG Melon may not need tourists, but is it too much to ask that if we take the time to plan for a visit (bring cash, get directions, queue outside), then when we finally sit down, you might do that thing they do in restaurants!! This place felt like hard word from start to finish, and I don't care how fabled or sensational your burgers are; dining out is so much more than the food on the plate.

Stopped in for some early evening eats and wasn't disappointed. Excellent chili and cottage fried potatoes made a meal. Omelette is also very good. Excellent service.

Great visit here for dinner. We turned up without a reservation, were told that we would be seated in 30 minutes, and chose to spend the time sitting a people-watching! A New York experience the food, service and busy, noisy athmosphere were delightful. Our choices were a beef burger, turkey burger and a vegetarian omelette.
Be the first to ReplyOriginal quality burger
Simple and qualitative burgers with focus on the juicy beef patty and delicious bun. No dressing required! Old fashioned burger place and an inspiration for burger restaurants around the world. Worth a visit!
Be the first to ReplyBest burger in NYC
The best burgers in NYCโฆOK I only had this one but it was so good I donโt think anywhere else would better it. And the fried potatoes were awesome. Friendly people, cold beer, prompt service.
Be the first to ReplyDelicious burger and fries in a cool old bar with friendly old fashioned sevice
Have the Cheeeseburger, medium rare, with golden brown fries (cut so thin they border on potato chips). Toppings were sliced raw red onion (I love onions cooked or raw on burgers). For desert the Chocolate Chip cake was delcious and is probaly big enough for two people to share. CASH ONLY.
Be the first to ReplyClassic UES burger
Love this place, always. Sit inside, feed the jukebox, get a burger. With fries. Or the club sandwich. You'll probably want a drink too. Bloody mary, bullshot, or martini are good choices. Get another maybe? Nothing wrong with some key lime pie either. Bring enough cash.
Be the first to ReplyBest burger i've ever had
I first come across this place thanks to Adam Richman and first we feast. I am a huge burger fan and this was the first burger I was to have in NYC. So had a little bit of trepidation thatt i'd be let down. I simply was not. Best burger I've ever had, simple, tasty and amazing. The UK has some catching up to do! I can't recall the name of the server, the front of house chap or the barman. But the service was absolutely top notch. Thank you!
Be the first to ReplyVery good
Iโm crazy for hamburgers and honestly this one was awesome. Very very good, ingredients were high quality and the staff was pretty kind. If you are visiting the city totally worth it and if you are not near you take the subway which stops 100meters before the restaurant What a pleasant experience
Be the first to ReplyGreat atmosphere but food below expectations
My friends highly recommended JG as the best hamburger in town. Great atmosphere, lots of people there waiting for a table, courtesy from the staff โฆ but the food has been below expectations. โNormalโ burger and sides as you might find in many other restaurants. Perhaps the expectation was too high, however great staff and location
Be the first to ReplyGreat find!
We stumbled across this place looking for some good food after a long days travelling. I would 100% recommend. The burger was honestly one of the best Iโve had, we had a gorgeous little cubby to ourselves outside and the service was so friendly, genuine and helpful. Will be back again when in New York next!
Be the first to ReplyNot what it used to be...
This joint is supposed to be a classic, yet at my last visit the whole thing seemed different...The burger was mediocre, not what is described as " one of the best burgers in town".
The ambiance was null and service iffy, also we were told the credit card reader was not working and that its easy for me to go across the street to the ATM... and yes, it is indeed easy but not what I want to do at 10pm, leaving my brother at the bar to go get cash. Wake up guys, this is how places go down the drain.
Donโt go here.
Horrible customer service! Plus, they only take cash because of some oddball excuse that since Covid their credit card machines donโt work. They โblink on and off outdoorsโ where most of the seating is.
No one else seems to have that problem. How about processing the cards inside? Just another Covid excuse to get cash.
Possibly the best burger in NYC! Chili is outstanding as well.
If there's a better burger in NYC, II have not yet found it. Melon's burgers are out of this world and their Chili is not far behind. I've been coming to JG Melon since the early 80's and I have never been disappointed. In the past, we typically waited for a table but not this time (a sign of the times). We chose to sit inside but they offered outdoor seating as well. Nothing has changed at this NYC landmark.

We should have just ordered drinks, something we never do. We went in for lunch. The famed cheeseburger at least allowed cheddar in place of American cheese, so it was pretty good, but so small, and came with only a slice of raw onion and a few pickle slices. The Cornish game hen is supposed to be small, but it was rather dry. The cottage fries, a small portion, were good and the salad was fine.
The room had charm with wood paneling, pictures of melons, green checked cloths, and customers enjoying their drinks.
Good neighborhood bar with food
At first I was annoyed that they weren't gluten friendly but I had a delicious piece of salmon with rice and a salad. Service was super fast and the waiter was funny. Drinks were appropriately strong.
Be the first to ReplyChili and burgers!
Great chili, burgers, and cottage fries at this Upper East Side bar and grill. Friendly and professional service too. We sat outside in the rain and stayed dry.
Be the first to ReplyPretty Damn Good
Went on a Saturday before noon, walked right in. Not as crazy as it usually is. Everyone at our table gad a burger; temp and toppings were all correct. Service was a little slow which surprised me because they they are usually turning tables like crazy. Don't mess around- Bloody Mary, cheeseburger, cottage fries.

The burger, the grilled cheese and the fries are all a thing of legend. FYI it's cash only. One of the best OG spots in the city.
