Met up the Cardinal and we were in the mood to have some brews outside, so the Cardinal mentioned Mother Burger is a good place for cheap brews outside.




Our Menu

Double Burger *
Two double patties served with the "mother sauce" - basically like a thousand island with a bit more kick. These were pretty good. Beef flavor was decent and meat was juicy.

Overall Restaurant Experience
  • Food –Burger is pretty good - not great by any means, but pretty good.
  • Service – We sat outside and they were relatively attentive. Food came out right away and the server was trying to be funny, but he was pretty good.
  • Atmosphere – Something about sitting outside drinking beers in NYC makes me a happy camper. There's a bunch of tables in this square area near the theater district. There's a bunch of people just sitting near by just chilling out and some other people in the same square eating at Blockheads.
  • Price – $9 for a burger, which seems a bit pricey for the quality. However, this is counteracted with the crazy cheap beers - $2 per. Sick!
Closing Comments
So where does this sit in the NYC burger universe. This is similar in style to Blue 9 and Shake Shack. Blue 9 crushes this place, but Mother Burger is much better than Shake Shack. The ultimate question though is would I go back...if I'm in the area, heck yes. Cheap brews sitting outside is always a winner in my book.
