I am a skeptic, always have been and always will be. But this is the best burger in town. The place, admittedly, looks like a hole...it's smoky, dirty, and loud. The locals seem hostile (rightfully so...this place is the worst kept secret in town), and the lines get long. But once you sit down, things are OK. A surly waiter takes your order, which unless you're clueless, is a Bistro Burger and fries. You'll barely have time to check out the amazing jukebox (full of jazz classics befitting an old Village bar, which this is) before your burger arrives.
And what a burger...thick, amazingly juicy, and never burnt on the outside, with just a little seasoning. Piled so high with cheese, thick crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, and onions that you'll have to squish it before attempting to eat it. Perfectly complimented by the shoestring fries, it simply gets no better.
Pros: Best burger. Ever., Cheap., Cool vibe.
Cons: Always packed., Hostile locals.
