Recently returned to New York for a Sports weekend with friends,and as tradition has it we had to make our annual trek up Eighth Ave to soak up some of the beer we had drank with McHales terrific burgers and steaks. We almost walked past the joint as it was surrounded by scaffolding and fallen plaster. The green neon sign was in place still ...

A great city bar! This place is what NYC is about. Super food at some of the best prices anywhere. The Hamburger is a MUST! Super service and cold beer! Get there!

Truly an institution that unfortunatly will go the way of howard johnsons, horn & hardett and many other special nyc places that fall victim to condo developers. get your mitts around the best burger in nyc before it's too late. great, fun, friendly, staff....no buybacks at the bar though.

Although it looks like a total dive (they should really change the beat-up doors and the hand-lettered signage), they provide hamburgers as big as hubcaps, decent selection of tap beer and friendly waitresses. A nice place to unwind after Times Square or the theater or more upscale places.

the hamburgers here are as big as your head! and they are delicious.
if you go for an appetizer, try the nachos, but be forewarned: they are small. small but yummy.
also, if you order a soda, it comes in a tiny bottle, which means no refills.
but service was great, the burgers were phenomenal, the steak fries are perfect. i've been three times, and i'll go back.

This is a great place to go and just unwind after a busy day in New York City. Just sit, grab a drink and relax.
This place is a must.

They have the best bacon cheeseburger I have ever eaten in my life. It's honestly big enough to feed a whole family. If you have a big appetite, and don't mind risking a possible heart attack, you need to try this burger.

Local pub with great food.We go everytime we are in New York. Great burger's and steak fries.
