The staff was nice. The burger was great. I was very hungry, so I wasn't able to properly enjoy it, but I will be back to do a proper critique. The location was clean and inviting. The outside sitting was clean and well as the area. Nice work with the team for balancing everything. I will visit again, and I will have a more detailed review.

Clean ... friendly staff ... incredible burger. The perfect trifecta. Quarter Pounder w cheese and onion rings were the bestest. Chocolate Milk Shake was supreme.

I LOVE BURGER CITY My new go to burger spot. I used to think All American was reined supreme and no one could come close — but I’m starting to think this place is even better, which is saying a lot. My go to is the QP with Cheese. This is my second time going in the past week what I sadly didn’t get a picture of was their chocolate shake. Their chocolate shake was *chefs kiss* it was creamier than your typical chocolate shake. Sometimes I don’t like when they put chocolate syrup in shakes but theirs was perfect. Have to go back to try their strawberry or strawberry / vanilla shake. I also got a grilled cheese for my son, he is napping so I took a bite (mom tax). Also delicious. I was afraid by the looks of it I might have been a tad burnt- it wasn’t. Cooked to perfection. The other reason I’ll take it over All American- even when they are super busy I don’t feel like I wait as long. This is also closer to me than All American so a win in my book.

Places like this need to be coveted! My buddy Tom & I went to Burger City on our lunch break and instantly we knew everything about our experience would be good. From the moment you walk in you feel like you've been transported into a time machine (including the great prices). We had the Boss Burger with fries and a shake and everything was made to perfection. What's even better is that we got to chat with the owner Jim, his son, and his buddy Russ. The conversation was great and made our experience that much more enjoyable. The excitement they share about their craft radiates through the food and the overall experience. I would HIGHLY recommend going if you are in the area. But if not, check out their spot in Ridgewood as well.

Lovee the burger city experience, like a shorter drive version of all American with a little less hype but the burger was great, so was the grilled cheese with bacon! Bun was fresh, pickles and onions were crisp, perfect amount of ketchup and the packaging kept it hot, can't ask for more.

First time trying Burger City and we weren’t disappointed for a fast food joint. It’s a peer to Shake Shack, good grade of high quality beef on the burgers, the grilled cheese sandwich took me back to high school cafeteria lunches. If you’re taking the family, great spot with something for everyone. I ordered the fries no salt and they were deelish. The chicken sandwich was a bit dry and overdone. Not a fan. For the money, it’s a great one stop shop for familiar comfort food and a step above the typical fast food chain. Cheers to our next adventure.

Was on my way to cradle of aviation museum and stopped by here for lunch. Excellent spot. I ended up getting a boss burger, onion rings and a black and white milkshake. I did have to wait a bit but I was there at peak lunch hours. Collectively it wasn’t that bad of a wait though. Getting a table during peak hours might be hard especially when it’s nice out. The burger was excellent. They make all their burgers with martins potato rolls which makes the burger easy to eat. The onion rings were crispy and did not fall apart. The shake was great, not too thick. Cashiers were friendly and helpful. Gave me extra sauces when I asked for it. Will definitely be back if I’m in the area.
