REVIEWS:

Just when I thought burgers couldn’t get any better I find Island Burgers & Shakes. Located on 766 9th Ave (between 51st St & 52nd St) has one of the best burgers in NYC, not “the” best but up there with the Holy Grail that is known as Corner Bistro. These burgers are a little thicker than other; I think about a half pounder, I got the BBQ (spicy) for $6.95 comes with onions, pickles lettuce, and bbq sauce. The meat is good quality and grilled to perfection, pink and juicy in the center with nice grill mark on the outside. Furthermore got to give them props for finding the perfect size bun with the right density to withhold the 1/2 lbs patty, so many times have I been disappointed just b/c of the buns- hun. This is a list of just the Basic I think I can say they have the Biggest selection of topping options for a burger shop. 6.00 6.50 Cheese White Cheddar, Swiss, Monterey Jack, Mozzarella, Boursin, American, Bleu, Parmesan Spread 6.75 7.25 Acapulco Roasted Onions, Jalapenos, Garlic and Cilantro 6.75 7.25 Roma Thyme, Rosemary, Garlic, Oregano, Pepper Flake 6.75 7.25 Mike's Pool Hall Dark Rye, Jack, Onion 6.75 7.25 Bangkok Thai Chile, Curry, Peanut Sauce 6.75 7.25 Ranch 6.75 7.25 Pesto Ciabatta 6.75 7.25 Salsa 6.75 7.25 Horseradish, Sour Cream, Black Pepper 6.75 7.25
