Burgers on B is a tiny counter-service spot in the East Village delivering big smash burger energy in one of the city’s most unique settings.
The Burger: Double Smash Burger (Tier 3). House sauce, pickles, and American cheese on a Martin’s potato roll. The patties are smashed but still meaty, delivering a strong sear without sacrificing juiciness. They’re well-seasoned, and the zesty, mustard-forward house sauce cuts through the richness of the beef and cheese. The buns are griddled (but not buttered), letting the core ingredients shine. It’s a straightforward build that nails balance without overcomplication.
Pro Tip: Getting extra sauce on the side is the move here - it’s just that good. Pair your burger with one of their many hand-spun milkshake options, and don’t skip the loaded fries made with fresh, hand-cut potatoes. The Oklahoma-style burger is another solid pick if you're looking to switch things up. And if you’re bringing your pup, they’ve got a special dog-friendly menu just for them.
The Occasion & Vibe: Quick / Casual. This cozy, no-frills spot bursts with personality thanks to vibrant neon murals and classic East Village grit. The space is narrow with limited seating, so while mostly grab-and-go, it’s worth sticking around if you snag a seat. It’s a lively, welcoming neighborhood gem.
The Location: East Village, Avenue B & 11th Street.
