Eat Out Awards 2009: Readers’ choice
Best new burger: 5 Napkin Burger
OTHER NOMINEES: Black Iron Burger, City Burger, Petey’s
If you had told us a year ago of the burger revolution we were about to witness, we may not have believed you. Yet today we find ourselves in a city where laypeople speak of fat ratios, and proprietary beef blends have reached It status. Your favorite? The aptly named 5 Napkin Burger. Take one bite and pink juices cascade onto the plate, while melted Gruyére cheese oozes in concert with an herb-infused aioli and a pile of caramelized onions. Ask for all the napkins you need. 5 Napkin Burger 630 Ninth Ave at 45th St (212-757-2277)PREVIOUS: Best new neighborhood joint in Manhattan | NEXT: Best new restaurant

I wanted to go to 5 Napkin Burger because of the Time-Out review; so I and 2 friends had lunch there on the 4th of July. The burger was awesome - tender, juicy and full of flavor. And though the place was packed, the service never faultered. I especially liked the desserts - yes, even though we had amazing burger with cheddar and cheese, we had to make room for the desserts. My friend had the key lime cheesecake (he loved it.) My Smores milkshake was heavenly. I can hardly wait to go back.
I never understood why people write such harsh reviews about standard places. You people write as if the topic (restaurant) ran over your puppy. Lighten up, it's just a restaurant.
Nothing to write home about, except the pretentiousness. It's run by the same team as Marseille, but unlike Marseille (excellent food + criminally bad service) this place has so-so food and so-so service. Ho-hum, who cares?
I thought the burgers were just ok, way, way too messy for me. Nothing to compare to BLT Burger, but considering that Time Out NY only writes about the restaurants that their staff visit, you can't really take their word for it...
comte is a type of gruyere you dipwad...
this burger sucks. ... it's also pretentious.
Petey's is delicious...5 napkin must be good in order to edge out Petey's. See you soon, 5 napkin!
It's not gruyere; it's comte. It's also not exactly new, because it's been at Marseille and Nice Matin for a while.
