Best burgers. Go for it

I am actually surprised & disappointed that Dewey/Gayle have bought into this ""hype"".The burgers can be described simply as:Ground Beef Lettuce Tomato Onion Bun Self-inflicted ...

Best Burger Ever! 9/23/2002

Wow, what a great burger! It's so good and tastes even better with a beer. The lines may be a bit long, but once you sit down, service is quick and friendly. more

why do they have a website? 9/22/2002

I had the bistro burger and would rather have made the same thing at home. Plus, I wouldn't had to wait for a table in the dark, stuffy, overweight-hipster filled bar. more

It's true - it is the best burger in tow 9/21/2002

Went last night to check out what people claimed to be the best burger and loved it. I am not a big burger eater (never order them actually), but they must do something to the meat to make it taste like that. It isn't tough at all and totally homemade (I think?)....not to mention cheap - as are the beers. Go early so you don't have to stand on line for an hour. Pros: cheap Cons: long line if late more

The best, the cheapest...the Bistro. 9/12/2002

It's an institution, and it ROCKS. Two-dollar beers, killer burgers, and a perfect jukebox. Life is good when you're at the Bistro. Pros: cheap, yummy Cons: crowded, smoky more

Everything You Heard It Would Be 9/10/2002

The burgers were greasy, the beers were cold, the atmosphere was dark and dingy. A good place to go for burgers and beer and nothing else. more

The Best, period. 9/9/2002

There's no specifying well, medium or rare here.. they cook them just right all the time. Don't forget to order a decently-priced beer, too. Pros: delicous, fun crowd, cheap beer Cons: sometimes a wait more

good burgers, but.... 9/3/2002

Sure, the burgers are good, but not good enough to make up for the abominable service and disgusting, filthy atmosphere. This is an ideal place to go at 1 am when you're drunk, but a place to avoid at 7 pm when you're sober. more

In the name of the law 8/30/2002

dumb luck??? 8/29/2002

These burgers are terrific and a good price but the place, esp. the bathroom is filthy...I've trailed off on going there, don't peek in the kitchen, you won't stay. Pros: cheap, quick Cons: smelly, divey more

Reliably Great Burgers 8/27/2002

Time after time the burgers are juicey, messy, and wonderful. A McSorley's is perfect to wash one down, especially at $2, and it really hits the spot after a long night of drinking; they serve till 3:30am. You also see the same familiar aged faces behind the bar; a bit uninterested in serving you, but friendly nonetheless. Pros: Inexpensive Cons: Service can be slow more

Throw another patty on the barbie! 8/27/2002

What do you like more, completely addictive patties of greasy beef, or glasses of cheap refreshing beer to wash it down? Well, Corner Bistro asks, ""Why choose?"" You can have both in this lovely, quaint n' cozy dive of a restaurant - the waiters aren't nice, but they know their burgers. And you will too after one visit - definitely an invitation to return! Pros: Easy to make a friend Cons: Long Wait for Table more

Well Worth the Fight 8/22/2002

On the average night, you're probably going to have to elbow your way in - but there's a reason for that. The burger is simply the best - any way you take it - melting down your throat with a pint to wash it back. Go as late or as early as you can or you could find yourself in a line straight out the door. more

Wet Chin 8/21/2002

Your chin will drip with the luscious juices from this delectible burger. Not only the best burger around town but also the best eats for 5 bucks that you can find. There is no other way to order but bistro style... one word... deepfriedbacon! Pros: taste, taste, price Cons: cholesterol, fat more

When it's good, it's good... 8/20/2002

and when it's bad it stinks! Overcrowding damages the quality, as my last two visits have yielded overdone burger and underdone fries. I was in love... by I have found another burger and moved on. more

The Best Burger Hands Down 8/14/2002

This is THE place in NY to get a burger. The system of waiting on line in the middle of the bar area to get a table takes a while to get used to but really adds to the place. Waiting for a table is all part of the fun, enjoy a couple of $2 beers and strike up a conversation with the great people that are always waiting for a Burger any time of night at the Corner Bistro! more

OHMYGODTHEBEST! 8/13/2002

The Bistro Burgers are thick, cheezy, greasy and loaded with bacon. I have lived in Manhattan for 5 years and this is the best. There's only second after this place. Pros: Burgers Come Quickly, Many Beer Choices, Nice Staff Cons: Meat Eaters Only!, Hard to find more

Owner Message

  • Corner Bistro, the last of the bohemian bars in West Greenwich Village, has been serving customers since the earlier part of this century. The original ambience is pretty much unchanged, and we like to keep it that way.

Editorial

  • A classic tavern: During the day, delivery people on lunch break share space at the bar with smartly dressed neighborhood professionals. To avoid an overcrowded back room packed with baseball...
