From popup sensation to permanent staple, GBSC has cemented its reputation as an award-winning burger destination. This beloved spot delivers bold flavors and infectious energy.
The Burger: Gotham Smash (Tier 1). Grilled onions, melted American cheese, housemade pickles, jalapenos, club sauce, ketchup, and mustard on a Martin's potato roll that’s toasted to perfection on both sides. Every topping is artfully applied, creating a harmonious flavor profile. The jalapenos, in particular, add a surprising depth - even non-fans will be converted. The thoughtful considerations and attention to detail are clear, elevating it to an exceptional burger experience.
Pro Tip: Get the double as-is for the full experience. All sides are great; don't miss the hand-crafted frickles and crispy fries. Wash everything down with a classic egg cream or explore their drink options. The menus are slightly different at their two locations, but both have the staples. Be prepared for lines, but the efficient team makes the wait worthwhile.
The Occasion & Vibe: Groups. This “social club” embodies its name with an inviting and laid-back atmosphere. Modern meets rustic in the stylish decor, featuring steer skulls and beautiful finishes, while the bright exterior sign sets the tone for a fun, welcoming experience.
The Location: Multiple Locations. Lower East Side, Greenpoint.
