    Our go-to burger place in the city. Never disappoints. I have the 5NB Salad with an impossible burger on top - delish! Service is incredible by gluten-free, dairy free allergic daughter can always find something yummy to eat. Also they are incredibly good about allergies - last night they came back and said the Turkey Burger actually included a gluten ingredient and she was able to order something else. Very professional and much appreciated by us. We've eaten at the 9th Ave and Upper West Side location both are awesome. Highly recommend!

    I went out with my husband, and we had a craving for a Sunday roast. We arrived and were not seated for quite some time, and the server we ended up having, Farek, was not the best. Then we tried to order our entrees and everything was virtually sold out. Ended up eating a burger and hubby ate a fish sandwich. Food was great, what they had not sold out of, and the service needs improvement.

    It was St. Patrick’s Day parade day in NYC and we went to the restaurant with a party of 14 people for dinner. The hostess Marissa and waitress Theresa were excellent! They helped us make our St. Patrick’s Day family reunion an awesome time! Thanks Blackwells!
