3 /5 timothy c: I saw that this place regularly scored very highly in lists and often scored "the best burger in New York" so I really wanted to try it...
I guess my hopes were a bit too high. I thought it was OK, but Ive definitely had many better burgers. They had some creative designs, but overall I just wasnt impressed. I typically like a basic cheese burger, with onions, lettuce, and tomato (and sometimes bacon), that way the beef itself can shine. When you start adding lots of other things I feel that it masks the flavor of the burger itself and usually its too hide the quality of the beef. Not sure if that is the case here, but I did try a piece of the burger by itself and it wasnt "prime" quality.
I would say whatever organization that gives these ratings isnt very credible after what I had here. But that isnt the restaurants fault.
Overall, I wouldnt say it is worth going out of your way for, but you dont need to avoid it either. I dont regret coming here, but if Im ever back in Syracuse, I would try somewhere different.
