I came here because they call it the best old school burger place in New York. And it was pretty good - great meat, basic flavors to complement it together with disc fries. The restaurant is big and cozy. Pictures of my favorite fruit - melon - all around the restaurant is a plus! 🍉🍔 Jalapeño Margarita was also nice.
Good place to take a burger and some fries. The place is a little bit small and this creates a bit of noise. Not recommended if you want to be calmed. But apart from that, attention, hamburgers and fries are great.
My favorite burger in NYC, hands down! I love a burger where the beef is the star and that is ever present at J.G. Melon. Their beautiful burgers come dressed with gooey American cheese, house made pickles along with lettuce & red onion, the whole ensemble is simply perfect. As if this burger couldn’t get any better, you have the option to add bacon! Do yourself a favor and add the bacon. In addition, J.G also offers a dynamite homemade chili which nearly rivals the superiority of the burger. I’m a huge fan of their bar atmosphere, it’s usually lively with good people and you can easily bypass the wait during peak hours. For drinks I recommend ordering the J.G. exclusive cocktail called the Bloody Bull, which is essentially a Bloody Mary prepared with beef consommé, which is wonderful change of pace. Come to J.G. Melon on any occasion to enjoy the complete mastery of their burger, it’s so worth it.
