I miss this place I loved the fries here. A friend of mine introduced this place to me and I loved it ever since. :(

If there was an option for zero stars, I’d be first in line. However, there isn’t such an option, but it’s CLOSED now, so nuff said. Never did I ever feel so disrespected & valued less as a customer than I did at this place. Seriously, I asked the girl at the bar for any recommendations, & she told me to read the menu. Any guesses as to why this place is no longer in service? Good riddance to you, your horrible, disrespectful, disgusting attitude, sub-par service, abhorrent wait times, bland burgers, overpriced food & bar, pretentious hosts & servers, & undercooked meat. Don’t come back.

Pop Burger is not your ordinary burger spot !! The mini burgers pack a lot of flavor . The fries are amazing ! The strawberry milkshakes are tasty and fulfilling. I love visiting Pop Burger on the weekend because the atmosphere is always loving. The music is great, people are friendly ! You wouldn’t want to leave. CON The bathroom could be a little more cleanly, and someone needs to always check for toilet tissue, paper towels etc. Great food is a big deal but Cleanliness is very important as well. People want to be comfortable.

I was introduced to Pop Burger by a colleague of mine and decided to let an intern tag along. I was really impressed with the ambiance, but more importantly the music was absolutely BANGING. Playing R&B, light Hip Hop and some eclectic music, Pop Burger had the music on lock, not far behind the music was an ambiance that would not quit either. It was dark, it was mellow, and it was kinda sexy. The food was absolutely amazing. I had a burger that was fantastic and among one of my favorites in NYC. I definitely will be back.

Made the poorest choice imaginable to attempt to get a delivery from here. Absolutely have someone answer phone who doesn’t speak English — great idea. Have them hang up on me because I told her I didn’t understand what she was asking me. Take 55 minutes to deliver down ONE Avenue(same block). Get order wrong. All which would have been merely annoying if the burgers were good but they were full of gristle. On last visit there — unfriendly terrible service. Good fries. Good shakes. But not good enough to go back. A thousand better places to go then here.

The pop burgers are crack! The fries are even better. This is my 1st time at the 14th st location and it’s under construction. We had to sit at the counter(we really wanted the lounge since it is my Bear’s birthday). Oh well. Good thing we came for lunch and NOT dinner. It was his first time eating at Popburger and he thought it was delish. So 3Stars!

«Mouth Watering Warm Buns». «Firm Fries» «Cool and Frosty Soda.» The wall promised these things and did not deliver. D’oh! On a sunny Sunday afternoon near the High Line, I was weary about competing for limited sitting space in any of Chelsea Market’s restaurants and eating areas, and The Diner on 14th and 9th looked a little too crowded still at 3 p.m. About to just take our chances at Chelsea Market, we walked past Pop Burger and noticed only two patrons inside. Lucky us! We walked in to lively club music, but an otherwise oddly sterile environment. The wall, lit up with the aforementioned descriptions in bright, shiny lights, seemed like too much. I understand how this is some hybrid burger joint /lounge, but with a sign stating how the lounge was closed until further notice… this entire establishment seemed like a flashy yet empty nightclub on its last legs. Our cashier seemed to hate life, the cheery music not matching his monotone speech patterns to us. For $ 26.50, we got four Pop Burger sliders(two sliders come with each order), an order of fries, and two cans of soda. The sliders were satiating only because we were so hungry. They were cold and hastily made. The fries were decent. My can of 7-Up was room temperature. As I said, upon our arrival, there were two other patrons in Pop Burger. They were already eating. We placed our order at 3:10 p.m. We didn’t get our food until approximately 3:35 p.m. I really think I’m giving this place two stars only because the music was so good. Step your game up, Pop Burger. If your walls makes brightly-lit claims, live up to them, please.

Service was minimal and really just not good. Pop Burger is drastically overpriced also. And I’m used to overpriced — I live in Hawaii! Hubby and I split the sliders. They were good but nothing special about them. Buns were the best part of them. Atmosphere was interesting. Lounge in back which was neat with a quick a sit down upscale fast-food sitting area. I did enjoy the atmosphere. We sat up front though as we were just here for the sliders and fries and didn’t plan on staying all too long. Wouldn’t come back here again if I’m ever back in New York City.

Try a turkey burger here. I got offered one when I came in to use my birthday voucher. Actually, when you get a burger here it’s 2 separate ones but they’re a decent size. I thought it was going to cost me more but I got my meal for free. The price is definitely on the higher end but the turkey burger was VERY good. I’d asked for mustard, ketchup & pickle but got lettuce & tomato. After taking off the tomato, I tried the burger & was very happy with it. Great seasoning and it didn’t taste greasy or like health food at all. The fries are also good as well as more textured than at many places. It’s funny that I’ve still never had a burger at Pop Burger but the one I went to years back had a respectable chicken caesar salad. I appreciate a place that can do other items that taste good as well as their«specialty» item. I was here on a weekday afternoon, when it was fairly quiet so I can’t speak on how it is in the evenings.

The burgers here are pretty horrible. They were lukewarm with pretty dry meat. One redeeming factor was that the fries are pretty damn good here. Very crispy. Definitely overpriced for how bad the burgers are.

Meh– i did not think that their burgers were worth it here. After sitting down in the back area, my group was told that the burgers were more expensive if we wanted to sit in the back room and get served. Um… no thanks. We went to the front to wait in line for the burger instead and by the time we finally got our burgers, I didn’t really want it anymore. Though the burger was cute, the patty itself wasn’t very seasoned and I thought that overall, it was just very basic and not worth the price tag. The fries were also not very impressive. Overall, the burgers were just not worth the wait or price. Food: 2.5 Value: 1 Service: 0 Overall: 1

When I first tried this place I would have given it 4 stars. Now that I’ve been back several times, I have to say it’s not as good as I thought. First of all, the burgers themselves are pretty great. I love their cute size and how perfectly portioned all the ingredients are on the little burgers. Just the right amount of cheese, sauce, lettuce, and tomato on the patty. I’m not a huge eater so I find a set of pop burgers and fries is more than enough for me. They tend to be overgenerous with the amount of fries you get, which is nice. What really brings down the rating however, is that the restaurant area is always FILTHY whenever I go. I do tend to hit up this place late night, but still. The tables and chairs are greasy and in disarray, and the condiment/trash can area is always disgusting with overflowing trash and spilled ketchup everywhere. Plus, the last couple times I’ve visited, my burgers have been overcooked and dried out. Pretty gross. It makes me wonder if this place is declining. Seeing that it’s not that cheap for what you’re getting, I’m just not feeling the place as much as I used to. It’s a shame because when the burgers are cooked well, they are very tasty.

Yes, it takes 15 minutes to get your pop burgers and fries/tater tots/onion rings but it sure is worth the wait! It would be nice if they state that somewhere on their menu or if they personally told you. I went there thinking I could get a fast lunch during my break but I was wrong — and I’m sure I was not the only one that automatically assumed this is a somewhat fast food restaurant. The pop burgers are grilled just about right and as you bite into it, you’ll taste the off the grill flavor as it is very tasty and juicy. The mini burgers are just about the right size and surprisingly fill you up in a good way and you do not feel awfully full or like you gained an extra 5 lbs. There is plenty of seating in the front during lunchtime and it’s nice that they open up all the doors so you get some fresh air. In terms of deals, Pop burger offers excellent lunch specials — any burger option with a side, your choice(french fries, tater tots, or onion rings). Burger options include the standard 2 pop burgers, invisible burger(i.e. vegetarian option which is a mushroom burger) and a turkey burger. It would be nice and more complete if they added grilled chicken to their menu so I don’t have to feel guilty each time I have a beef burger.

Ok, if you read my reviews regularly, you probably think I’m addicted to burgers… well, maybe just a little bit =) So, take it from me, NYC, Pop Burger is the real deal. When you go there, you’ll see lots of folks ordering up sliders, but, for me, I always feel like I get too much bread with sliders. Therefore, I got their regular-sized burger they call the«Superman» burger. And, I must say, it was utterly amazing. First off, although, when given a choice, I typically order my burgers medium rare, the«Superman» patty was cooked about medium and was still tasty, tender, and succulent. The bun was good as well, but the other most notable feature was that the burger was donned with fried pickles! Yep, you heard right! Now, I’m not a «pickle on my burger» type of guy, but I do like pickles by themselves. So, I took mine off and ate them on the side. Finally, I must also give props for the size of this burger. It was huge – just the way I like ‘em! In other words, I didn’t go away hungry =) So you probably want to know about sides. We tried both the fries and the onion rings. Both were delicious, but the onion rings were the better of the two. They were beer battered, and the flavor was amazing. During the day, this location of Pop Burger only has counter service – more like an upper-scale fast food joint. They have a spacious lounge area in the back, however, which is open at night and features the same burger-joint style fare plus some nuevo American dishes. I believe they offer table service for this area at night.

I finally found this place after walking right by it about three times. They can really use a better sign outside. The burgers are made to order and grilled which gives them a great taste. The fries were good but nothing memorable and the onion rings were really good. The onions were sweet and the beer batter had great flavor. I’ll be back if I’m in the area and can actually find the place again.

Really blah… not even my during my drunk-unselective state was the food tolerable. maybe it was NYEve. but the burgers came out cold and burnt… fries weren’t remarkable. onion rings decent. but overall the price tag seems to cater drunk meatpacking crowds cuz I wont even pay half the price for what they offer. the only redeeming factor of the night were watching these drunk girls stumbling around with a bottle of Belvedere offering us shots.

This was the last stop of a night out. Who would’ve thought a burger spot could be loungey w/great music & ambiance. The décor was very nice and laid back… my only issue were the chairs and big round table… they were so low & had to much space between you and whoever you were conversing with. I unfortunately didn’t get the sliders that I heard so much about… I snacked on a friends chicken wraps & mozzarella sticks. YAY to the Strawberry Mojito! It was so good… I can still taste it! A lil pricey but it is the meatpacking district. Will definitely go back again… for that mojito… LOL!

The only downside to this place are the prices … other than that it’s great! First walking in you’ll find yourself in their«restaurant» area. Keep walking back and you’ll be in the lounge; where you can eat, drink, and listen to some great hip-hop/top songs. They’ve always been great at accommodating my group and the servers have been very attentive. Their lobster nachos are SOAMAZING! I can eat those for the rest of my life and die happy =X. My next favorite are their burgers and fries. Not-to-mention that their specialty drinks are always perfectly made. **I started off by giving this place 4 stars. But after I started thinking about those lobster nachos I had to give it that last star =X.**

Is it a burger joint or a lounge? How about both. The front of the restaurant is where you can grab a quick bite to eat. It’s open from 11 am-4 am. The back of the restaurant is a lounge. They check your ID before you enter. The lounge opens from 5 pm– 4am. Pop Burger serves up mini burgers, fries, and shakes. They also offer salads, lobster rolls, filet mignon, cupcakes, chicken wings, spring rolls, lamb chops, etc. The mini burger is simply prepared(lettuce, cheese, a mini meat patty, and secret dressing in between a brioche bun). The meat patty was a bit too salty for my liking, but it was juicy. The secret sauce tasted like a mix of ketchup and mayo. It’s about $ 8.25 for 2 pop burgers. The lounge is modern and there are loads of speakers lining the walls. There is a pool room in the back, which was a lot of fun. The DJ is also really cool. I like the concept of this place, but I rather go somewhere else to get my burger fix. Overall, Pop Burger is a good restaurant to visit for drinks and snacks after hours.

Love it! Awesomely delicious extra EXTRA crispy fries(I know it can’t be good for you, but yum!), juicy, thick meat patties in between cheese, tomato, shredded lettuce, and fluffy burger buns, shake was okay, but man… I’m so back for more!
