Burger Heaven – New York, New York

While wandering aimlessly around New York I ran into Burger Heaven not realizing it was a chain of 6. I figured I would give it a shot. After being seated I looked at the paper placemat in front of me. It was all about the Celebrity Apprentice episode featuring Burger Heaven. After having watched the episode and having the Donald refer to Burger Heaven as a diner; I’m in agreement with that statement. It doesn’t have a burger joint feel but more of a diner with all the counter stools and booths. Although it was a much more sleek looking diner than what you normally get.

Stairway to Burger Heaven

 This particular location has a second floor. There is breakfast on the menu (served til 11am) and homemade chili that was calling my name, but I ordered the Classic Beef Burger, cooked Medium with American cheese and a side of fries of course. It took about 10 minutes from when I placed the order to when I received the burger.

Onions, Pickle Spears and Mayo on the side

 I had asked for mayo on the burger but I was served a plate with a couple of pickle spears, red onion and a packet of mayo. The burger was cooked perfectly and the taste was reminiscent of what you might get served at a diner.

Classic Beef Burger w/ Cheese

 There was nothing special here just a solid diner burger. The fries on the other hand, now that was something different. They were definitely fried twice as that’s the only way to really get that particular crispy texture on the outside. They were delicious. While the burger didn’t really break new ground for me, the fries left me longing for more.
