No Good Burger Joint — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

No Good Burger is freaking awesome...a small business crafting unique burgers packed with delicious flavor combinations and portions that almost guarantee a second meal. I came here with my husband and close friend on a Wednesday evening. The location has a small indoor dining area, but luckily there were still two tables available and we were seated promptly. The main menu is on their website, which is easily accessed via a QR code included on the "specials" menu on each table. We ordered a round of drinks first and then burger entrees. I decided to try the Dogfish Head Mandarin & Mango Crush and was warned it is very juicy by our server. I sometimes drink sour ales; so I was ready for a fruit forward beer when he brought me a glass. Dogfish Head has many really good brews and I would add that one to the list. It was juicy in a fresh, crisp sort of way, but complemented the ale well. My friend ordered a white wine that she said was perfect and my husband decided to go dessert first that night by ordering a strawberry milkshake, which was really creamy and packed with strawberry flavor. We also ordered onion rings for a side and they were crispy, just the way we like them. For our burgers we ordered The Atlantic, That Winzie, and The Honcho (special). All three burgers were works of art and thoroughly hit our burger hankering spot. The Atlantic is well balanced in meat, cheese and veggies. That Winzie is unbelievably good....I wasn't sure how the pineapple would integrate with the avocado, egg, bacon, and beef, but it was perfect. The Honcho was a massive combination of beef, onion rings, chopped onions, cheese, chili and jalapenos. It was delicious and a ton of food. All the burgers came with fries or you could upgrade your side for $2. I upgraded to the mac and cheese side and that was really good too. We ended up needing boxes to take our leftovers home. The staff/management were very approachable and we had a great conversation with one of the gentlemen. We were surprised with a bowl of ice cream before we left and though we were stuffed we managed to find room for the ice cream... LOL. If you are on Long Island and craving a burger, this is where you should go. Thank you for a great...

Let me tell you about a neighborhood gem of a burger joint. I was out on a Friday eve and just looking around for something to eat. It was after 9pm and the 10pm restaurant curfew was fast approaching. I found this place in Baldwin on Atlantic Ave. It is not a large place but their food is big on flavor.

The big thing with this place is the peanut butter and jelly burger on cinnamon raising toast. I would have never imagined you could add that to a burger. The meat itself is of high quality steak they grind up and put 8oz of this tender beef into their burger. I was really impressed with the flavor. I was warned the burger would be sweet. It had a tinge of sweet but it was really good. The quality of the meat was amazing. When we entered the establishment, they are very cautious to people they do not know. It was getting closer to 930 so they did not have us sit, but they explained the 10pm closing. They have 4 beers on tap, including the hard berry seltzer. I took a lager which was refreshing and waited for out burgers to come out. I substituted mac and cheese for fries, and I did not know there was an upcharge which was not alot, but they should have mentioned it. Thats why I gave them 4 instead of 5. The people working there are very friendly and the young lady was sassy which I liked actually. She was really quite nice and I saw her checking on the last table to make sure they were ok. I believe they have close to 20 different types of burgers which I would not hesitate to try all of them. I was going to order the Brussels sprouts salad but they guy advised too much food and he was correct. My friend ordered the Atlantic burger which has a sunny side egg in it and quite spicy. For me, it was quite spicy but it was so delicious. I ate half of my burger and warmed up the other half they next day. It stood up in flavor and juicy the next day. I would most definitely return here to try more of their...

Hate when a business lives up to their name in a bad way. Legit NO GOOD BURGER JOINT. Sad. I had this burger years ago, and had the same reaction, figured we would try again years later, and the same initial NAH BRO reaction. Just a NO from me, dawg.

Sad. Has such potential. The menu concoctions are terrific, but when it comes time to chow, it’s really just a NO.

Sad to say.

Specifically, the order was taken truly incorrectly. Maybe a function of the software, but also maybe my own fault, but I ordered nothing out of the ordinary.

The basics, like floppy sloppy bacon, a burger that tastes like griddle scrapings, sautéed onions that look and taste like work boot scrapings after a muddy day on the job site, garden accompaniment that are dried out, old, and soggy (soggy lettuce and tomatoes, dried and old red onion). The brioche bun is restaurant depots unremarkable, coleslaw is gristly and the fries ain’t good enough for redemption.

Simple simple things that could take this place from a 1 to a 5. Less is usually more and the brilliant basic simply allude this kitchen.

I ate the ultra well done burger only, as to not go hungry tonight, but that simply was true to its name, NO GOOD.

Bummed....
