Corner Bistro in New York

"We had the Bistro Burger (the bacon was on point very crispy), Cheese Burger, Fries & Tarter Tots (they were delicious!). The patty has a really good size & all the toppings are fresh. Love the old vibe atmosphere! They have indoor & outdoor seating. The place is Cash Only but there’s an ATM inside! All the staff were super nice & friendly!"

"If you want a top 5 LTO burger go here and pair it with a cold beer. If you want a French style burger go somewhere else and be quiet. Also sitting at the bar to watch sports is hard to beat."

"This corner bistro is often called “The Last of the Bohemian Bars,” and it’s easy to see why. With its well-worn dark wood counter and classic booth seating, it has a timeless old-school charm. In the dim lighting, locals chat over beers, creating the lively atmosphere of a classic New York dive bar. The must-order here is the signature "Bistro Burger", the undisputed favorite on the menu. The thick patty is cooked to a perfect medium-rare—beautifully seared on the outside and incredibly juicy inside. Rich beef flavor, melted sharp cheddar, and smoky, salty bacon come together in a bold, indulgent bite. A soft bun soaks up the juices, while fresh, crisp vegetables keep everything well balanced. This is a true, no-nonsense New York–style burger done right. To pair with the burger, they offer great options on tap, including their house "Bistro Bohemian Lager" and "McSorley’s Ale (Dark)", famously associated with New York’s oldest bar. With a solid selection of classic American beers, cocktails, and spirits, this place delivers just as much as a bar as it does a bistro."

"Certainly one of the iconic NYC burgers and it does deliver. The meat quality was solid and the cook was perfect. My only critique is slightly under seasoned for my liking but that’s personal preference. Fries and tots were standard but the burger is the star here. It’s not the best burger in the city but it’s probably the most accessible. You can walk in and grab a drink at the bar while waiting for your table. It’s way easier and way cheaper to eat this burger than say 4 Charles, minetta tavern, red hook tavern. So it definitely has a place on the burger lists. Note cash only. Verdict: will definitely return."

"Found this place in an article about best burgers in the city and I see why. The place is cozy with a local bar feel. Was lucky to get a seat by the window to people watch as I ate. I went with the Bistro burger and it was amazing, great beef and cooked just right. They have their own lager which pairs well with the burger. The bartender was very friendly and always new when we needed another beer. Need a quick drink or burger and in the area, this is your stop."

"Best burger in Manhattan. Change my mind. No frills, just a good juicy burger. It's an establishment of downtown for a reason. All these burger joints out there that put all kinds of stuff on their burger? Skip 'em. This is basic, bacon cheeseburger and a beer excellence."

"Best burger I have ever ever eaten. $30 for a CB, fries and a soda. Service also superb, waiter or owner asked me how I wanted the pad and it came perfect! Neighborhood also great, I walked there from Whitney Musem, small family shops, quiet streets, nice trees shadows. Only downsize is restroom without water in the faucet / in the flush."

"To whom it may concern and is reading this! I was there a couple of days ago, I grew up in that neighborhood for at least 20 years in the past, And my mom lives in that area, I want to visit my mom and I decided to go and visit and eat at the famous burger place here, I had always got wonderful service and wonderful food, About this incident that happened a couple of days ago with the waiter, that cannot speak English, and like to impose the burger he likes and he makes you hurry up and whatever you say that you want he says No! He rushes you and he tried to tell you what you should get and not what you want, I stand on my ground and I got up and I talked to the manager about it, then I proceeded to the chef, an informed to him what I want and how I want it, he was very professional and he listened and he delivered the burger the way I liked it, I tip him $50 for that! I did not tip the waiter. But I wish him good luck he will learn his lesson,. That place will lose business with him there. Other than that I highly recommend and the place if you on the area and you want to eat there."
