There are many places in New York City to get a burger.
From the cheap diner fix to the $40+ Kobe beef or sirloin burgers at restaurants, they are sure to fulfill any wants.
But I have found myself craving burgers from only two places:
Bareburger and Bobby’s Burger Palace.
It’s hard to write this without wanting one right now. The only negative thing I have to say is that my house is out of their delivery range.
Bareburger
Bareburger has grown into a franchise chain in various parts of New York City. When they first opened in Astoria, I couldn’t wait to try them out. Their business model focuses on organic products and they keep this consistent from their food to the tables to the containers they give take out in.
Their burgers are customizeable as well as suggested menu items. I always get the original, with either turkey or beef, because I like to keep my burgers simple. Too many toppings take away from the flavor for me.
Bobby’s Burger Palace
Bobby’s Burger Palace has been a recent discovery of mine. There are only two New York locations and both are in Long Island. It surprises me that they don’t have any in the New York City area. The owner of the chain is Iron Chef Bobby Flay.
I tried their location in the Roosevelt Field Mall. It’s spacious and simple American with friendly servers. The burger is to die for. It is very good meat, with the perfect amount of juicy and flavor in it. You can also “crunchify” it for free, which means they put potato chips inside the burger.
Out of all the popular and least popular places for a burger that I’ve tried, these are my favorite that I keep going back to and dream of when I can’t get them. They are delicious and well made and both have a great environment.
Now, excuse me while I plan tomorrow’s lunch!
