    Ahhh Lovely’s burger. I could genuinely rave about this smash burger. I’ve tried just about every smash burger in NYC, and I can confidently say Lovely’s Old Fashioned is number one. Both the double burger and the signature jalapeño burger are flawless. The meat is perfectly seasoned and juicy, and the sauce hits every time without making the bun soggy or falling apart. Everything is balanced exactly how a smash burger should be. The service deserves just as much praise. I’ve been here no joke about 15 times in the past year, and every single visit comes with a smile and great energy. Even when I ordered the wrong burger like an idiot at 3 a.m., they still took care of me with patience and kindness. Shout out to Tye. Absolute legend.

    Stopped by this place one night during our vacation because we were hungry, and it turned out to be amazing. The food was fresh, flavorful, and just all-around really satisfying. We liked it so much that we came back a second time during our five-day stay and even grabbed some takeout. Friendly staffand consistently tasty, definitely a spot I’d recommend if you’re looking for a great late night snack

    Sinceramente non capisco tutte queste recensioni positive. ​Ok, l'hamburger non era male, ma era talmente piccolo che siamo dovuti andare a mangiare nel locale di fronte perché non ci ha lasciato neanche il gusto in bocca. Per non parlare del fatto che due hamburger striminziti, una Coca-Cola e un'acqua ci sono costati 30 dollari! ​Per quanto riguarda il locale: probabilmente chi dà recensioni positive è ubriaco. È un posto alla stregua di un paninaro di strada.

    I’ve never seen sauerkraut brown. Finally made it to this local spot but can’t say I enjoyed it-( the onions rings taste burned and hot dog overcooked w brown sauerkraut- what is that????? And average burger. I hate to leave a bad review but it seriously sucked. I’ve had a lot better from Lucky’s and 5 Guys at the same price.

    Tiny place with maybe 10 stools inside. Fast and excellent service and food. I highly recommend the Charlotte’s special (if you like onions & pickles)! Unique and delicious Sidewinder French Fries are a must try (if you like steak fries). The fresh, hot food hits the spot, especially on a cold night. Open til 1am. I stopped by around 6pm and was lucky there were a handful of available seats on a Thursday. 5 stars!
