Best new fast food
Five Guys Burgers and Fries
Other nominees: Go! Go! Curry, Maoz, Zen Burger
New York foodies typically treat fast-food eateries with a revulsion reserved for the Red Sox. But upon the arrival of this Washington, D.C., chain, burger maniacs lined up like it was the second coming of Shake Shack. Understandably so. Heat-lamp-hating Five Guys griddle-cooks its prime-beef patties to order and trumps Burger King’s your-way boast with 15 customizable toppings, such as jalapeños, mushrooms and fried onions. Even better, zippy Cajun fries are hand-cut and fried crisp in peanut oil—a treat as tasty as the free peanuts available by the fistful. Multiple locations; go to fiveguys.com for more info.

At first, this cramped little place seemed to invite with its charmingly rustic decor. Shame all that had to be ruined by the cattiness of the wait staff. we asked for the option of ordering our food as if we were at a table but we'd agree to eat at the bar if no tables cleared out for us by the time the food came. This idea was considered APPALLING by the hostess and the bartender.You should have seen their catty little faces all scrunched up as they crabbed to each other about our audacity!
At first, this cramped little place seemed to invite with its charmingly rustic decor. Shame all that had to be ruined by the cattiness of the wait staff. When my girl and I walked in around 1pm, we noticed that two tables were on their ways to be opening up and even a moron knows that it's a lot more intimate for a couple to be sitting together at a booth or a table than to be elbow to elbow at a bar. With that in mind, and being as hungry as we were, we asked for the option of ordering our foo
definately a place that many locals go. outside seating can be nice if you can get one. tab is always reasonable. everything else like service and food is EH. i have left with my party before ordering because the host/waiter was just plain rude and obnoxious. frankly, they need to get over themselves... but i guess as long as ppl keep coming.
apparently readers haven't eaten at alchemy in a while. this is the worst restaurant in brooklyn.
Go Peter Daversa!!!!!!!!!The best cook in NY, Hill Country is lucky to have him
Apparently the readers of this magazine have no BBQ experience whatsoever if they think hill country is the best! I know there is a shortage of good BBQ in NYC, but even Dallas BBQ is better than this overpriced garbage chain! Daisy Mae's, RUB, hell, the mcRib is better than hill country! If you like paying 10 bucks for a mexican coke that tastes like every other coke in the world, and carrying a bunch of subpar smoked meats all over a buffet restaurant then by all means, enjoy!
I am a HUGE fan of the TREATS TRUCK and LOVE the MEXICAN BROWNIES!! I was surprised to see the TREATS TRUCK didn't win as everyone I know LOVES LOVES LOVES IT! HURRAY FOR THE TREATS TRUCK!!!! IT'S THE BEST IN NEW YORK!!!
Treats Truck has the best mobile food in NYC! Give me the world's best chocolate chip cookie over bacon creme anglaise any day!
