7th Street Burger Chelsea — Restaurant in New York

Initially this was gonna be a 4 star but I will gradually get to why I ultimately give this spot a 5 star review but starting off with a few grievances.

First coming to the spot, it is small and condensed, there's no seating anywhere inside the place so not gonna lie, I was disappointed that I won't have the comfort of eating in, especially with the weather because it was COLD outside. Inside, the menu is rather limited. Think of In & Out where the staple food is a burger, fries and a drink. That's literally all that's available there so I settled on a double Cheeseburger, fries and I got a drink elsewhere because the place doesn't have zero sugar soda, another disappointment but I digress. Pricing of the food isn't too bad. It was only $16 and in NYC that isn't bad. The fries, were alright, passable but not amazing. Now we get to the burger itself and my goodness this burger, even slightly small in stature was BIG in taste. It literally saved this review. The beef was tender, the potato bun that covered it was firm to the touch, the cheese, grilled onions and the house sauce...I don't know what's in that sauce but I want some more of it. Heck, THIS IS WHAT WENDY'S LOUSY EXCUSE OF A "KRABBY PATTY" SHOULD'VE TASTED LIKE! Forget what they were marketing, the 7th Street Burger is the REAL Krabby Patty! You could come to the spot just for the burger and you won't leave here disappointed. They may have a few things on their menu but the burgers are definitely done well. The burger through sheer will and determination, brought what would've been a 3 or 4 star into a 5. That...

Seriously! The best burger in town? Burger was very greasy and soagy. I overheard my table neighbors say the same thing. The fries were horrible: dry, white inside and broken into pieces. I was given a bag with the food inside. It was uncomfortable to pull everything out from the bag between the grease and half of the fries thrown in the bag. I had to dig the burger and the sauce out. No napkins included in the bag. I wished they had the loaded fries on the menu, i would have ordered them instead as I saw pictures of them. I guess that by covering the fries with the sauce it makes them better. Lastly the decor is depressing and there is no space to eat apart from two stand up tables outside. Only 2 positives: the staff was really nice and their sauce is good. They obviously want to copy the « in and out» concept (hidden menu items, sauce) but they are far from delivering on quality. In NYC, Shake Shack is more tasteful, as...

Walked 30 min in 30 degree weather to get burgers here, having had a great experience at their downtown (FiDi) location a few weeks ago. Upon arriving, there were no other customers and no tables inside (weren’t expecting much, just a counter to lean on as they have downtown and on the UWS). We asked the employee at the register if we could temporarily bring one of their two high top tables from the curb inside for 15 minutes to eat because again, it’s 30 degrees. We were going to carry this table in and back out ourselves. He refused (and frankly clearly did not care in the least), so we left. Who designs a restaurant in a cold climate with zero places to enjoy the food you pay for? Avoid...
