This restaurant is an absolute disgrace, and I hope that this is not how Five Napkin Burger operates because I went to another location a few years ago, and the experience was better. Locations have previously shut down, and it makes sense. Although the ambiance is nice at this location, I don’t know where to start with the quality food. Prices are literally the way they are because of the area the restaurant is in, nothing else. However, you could literally go to 7th Street Burger, a few minutes walk away, and have a much better experience for a fraction of what you would pay here. Compared to here, the food there would actually be flavorful and edible.

Please see the pictures of the pancakes on the Chicken and Pancakes platter below. I would not be surprised if they were actually Eggo pancakes because they were incredibly small and low-quality. The pancakes themselves had reminiscing tastes of eggs because they were not thoroughly cooked. Moreover, the fried chicken was just overly breaded; you could knock it on the table and see it contained no meat inside. The “sushi” (if you want to call it that) was of poor quality – the salmon did not taste fresh, and I would not be surprised if it had not been processed correctly before being served.

You also know they are not making money because they are falsely advertising the “house” tequila shots, which are supposed to be the most affordable liquor in a restaurant; however, they are served at $14.00 a piece at this establishment. I can’t even imagine how other people would react if they ordered more than what my party did. Absolutely shocked. I’ve never been to a restaurant where the house tequila was more than $10.00 and was served as a reposado instead of Blanco. The service staff had an attitude when questioned about this when receiving the bill. I wouldn't be surprised if maybe they thought because we were young that, we were naïve. For the chicken sandwich, sauces are obviously kept for more than a week because they taste very sour. They were also upset that no tip was left; however, this is earned, and the level of customer service and professionalism shows this is a job for everyone and not anything more.

This review will also be published on Yelp, and I will file a complaint with the NYC Health Department. 0/5 and not going back.
