The Burgary — Restaurant in New York

This spot is pretty much laid back and a bit small, but has a good amount of seating. I really liked the cartoon wall murals here, very cute, kind of funny and fitting with the very famous tenants of this spots from way back when; felonious Marcus Garfunkel and Max Tauster.

We ordered one shake to share. We chose Vanilla S'mores Milk Shake, and when it came out, we were completely stunned, it came with a fireworks!!! OMG!!! How fun! The size of the glass was not too big, which was nice. Just the right size for us to share, without getting too full so that we can still enjoy the food. And yes, it was delicious!

Now, for food, we decided to order one appetizer and one burger to share. We picked Tator Totchos. It was HUGE! Loved all the ingredients on it. Comfort food made with high quality ingredients.

It was not easy to choose which burger to order, as they all sounded really interesting. We decided to go with The Lower Eastsider. I say this burger was like a work of art. It was big, standing tall and strong, just asking us eat it up! The burger was great, super juicy and packed with flavor.

The staffs here were really nice and friendly, polite and helpful. We had a super awesome brunch here, delicious, comforting, and relaxing. We loved everything we had, we would definitely go...

UPDATED REVIEW: I went back with some friends and the vibe was very different from what I was used to. And the food we all ordered wasn't very good. Pretty disappointing. The server seemed like he didn't want to deal with us. It's unfortunate that I was drawn to this place due to an Instagram post but lost what made the place special. Maybe it was an off day or a different chef. Nonetheless, I wasn't a fan.

ORIGINAL REVIEW: I found this place while scrolling through Instagram and a specific picture of a menu item (El Chapo Burger) inspired me to check the Burgary out.

The location is great and they have a very nice outdoor dining area. The service was amazing. It may sound cliche but it's a nice feeling when your server is knowledgeable about the food and excited about what they are serving.

Now for the food, the reason I went in the first place. Everything was delicious. Every single thing. We were a party of 4 and had our own appetizers and burgers and they looked just as good as they did online. The El Chapo Burger was everything I had hoped for. I can't wait to go back and try other things from the menu.

I wish I remembered my server's name because he...

Fantastic burger joint! Aside from the amazing food this place comes with a bit of cool history that you may never know without investigating...

All of the burgers are designed/named after famous criminals. I my self had the "el chapo" with a side of "coke". Also ordered the tater tatchos which were amazing.

As far as the history to this place and how I started the investigation started after my visit to the restroom. I took notice of the very cool wallpaper of very old currency. Upon leaving the restroom I notice a genuine bank vault door with a thin staircase behind it. I'm thinking this combined with the name..something is going on here. A quick google search leads me to the surprise of a speakeasy upstairs by the name of Garfunkel's.

This bar is fantastic and one of the best semi secret spots around. Named after a couple private bankers turned criminals Garfunkel and Tauster who used the place as a corrupt bank way back in the 1920's.

So from gangsters and money to burgers and graffiti. The story of New...
