For lunch the other day, a friend and I decided to test out the newly opened HB Burger on 43rd St, between Broadway and 6th ave. Surprisingly bigger than it seems, this is a great lunch spot. Owned by Heartland Brewery, they not only serve those delicious lagers, they serve their own homemade sodas as well. And the best part, nothing on the menu is over $9!
Now, I've only eaten burgers for a little over a year, so as a late-comer in the burger game, I do not believe I know what the BEST burger is. But I know I've had some DAMN GOOD ones. I also know I've had some OK ones. I've had dry turkey burgers before and I did not like it. I prefer a nice, juicy burger. So when I ordered the Taco Turkey Burger from HB, I was a bit nervous that I might be let down. Well, I was not! It was absolutely delicious. The turkey burger was cooked wonderfully, still juicy! Topped with jalapeno jack cheese and homemade salsa, it wasn't too much in between the bun. Now, I'm used to a burger and fries, but to keep their plate prices down, HB sides have to be ordered separately. My friend and I ordered fries and tater tots. Once again, we were not disappointed. It was easy to see the fries were from freshly cut potatoes and fried. Meanwhile, the tater tots had bits of bacon and jalapeno jack cheese blended in, but the flavors did not take over. Ordering both sides was a bit much for lunch, we didn't come close to finishing them, but who knows how hungry you are!
Overall, HB Burger was a great lunch, and we were in & out within 45 minutes. Their menu is mainly burgers (obvi), but they do have a few other items. One other item is the World's Smallest Sundae. We didn't try this (we were busy with the tater tots) but saw it being served at another table. It looks as if it is your basic hot fudge sundae, served in a shot glass. Just the right amount of sweetness after a meal!
I recommend this spot for a good burger (turkey burger too). Also, I'd like to add that I love Five Guys for a burger too. Doug should be blogging about that soon, and he'll have a pic from when we went last week.
