I came here with a large groups, seeking the juicy lucy. It did not dissappoint! It was generously filled with cheese and the beef quality was good. The bun stood up to the burger as well. The onions on it, delicious! The fries were okay and the shake while okay, below the expectations I would have had for it. The decor is nice, and service was okay. More...

Burgers? sure why not. I mean next to Pizza, isn't there always an appetite for a good old mix of seared ground beef-a few toppings like lettuce, onions, and tomato-pressed gently (or not so gently) against two warm buns. Straight delicious! Let's cut to the chase! Burger? GoodBeer? GoodBartender? Very friendly and attentive.Would I come back? ProbablyWhen i came here with my friend from sophmore year of high school, we were only looking to grab a drink. Beers were priced reasonably ($7) and the draft selection was modest (3 beers) but it was good enough. There's a decent bottle selection as well just in case. However, while i was browsing the menu, i couldn't help but notice that they had a PB burger. What's that? Yes! A peanut butter burger. A peanut butter burger topped with applewood smoked bacon.....i had to try it. Turns out, it's good. Mind blowing? probably not as much as I anticipated it to be, but it was good. The burger patty itself was really juicy and was combo'd with a nice sear on the outside, and the peanut butter from what I could tell was not your average skippy peanut butter but more of a natural, not overly sweet, peanut butter. The marriage in itself just didn't stand out, it was almost too much of one note without anything to cut the peanut butter or the richness of the burger. As crazy as it sounds, I could have probably tried throwing jam on it in an attempt to change the flavor profile just a touch, but who knows. Anyway, come here to try some fancy burgers! About $13-$14 for a burger with no sides. It's a tad pricey but I think it's worth it if you're craving something classic with a sprinkle of fancy. More...

Great spot and great food! Had the Juicy Lucy with fries and an Arnold Palmer. Juicy Lucy was a great burger. Stuffed with pimiento cheese, it sure hit the spot. Meat was flavorful and burger is a good size. Fries were nice and crispy just how I like. Would definitely come back to try some of their other burgers. More...

Tried and tested last year - we liked it so much, we came back for another birthday this November as well.Reservations made in advance - no problem. Bartender and staff - on task and very personable. Place is on the small-ish side, but if you have a party of 8 (maybe even 10) a long table will fit you all just fine. The play list was awesome last year, and didn't disappoint last weekend either: great mix of 70s + 80s.This is a burger place - at a great price: $10-15/plate. Add some fries and (the best!) fried pickles to share for the table - and you have a phenomenal all-American feast with your friends and family. Yes - a definite "must-stop" place when you are starved, parched, and need a break after the Highline, the Vessel, the mall... and all the people and hoopla in Hudson Yards.Two thumbs up!! Rock on.

We were in the area and had just finished with a work related event and were starving. On our way to find pizza we stumbled over Whitmans. We loved it. Great menu, very shareable, nice beer and wine menus too. Great service and very cool decor, but very small restaurant. We ordered a few different items and the four of us all dug in and shared. I would come back for sure. A nice reasonably priced place in the heart of Hudson Yards. Don't miss it. More...

Whitman's is a cool burger spot in the east village, right next Tompkins and other good places. The inside area has a upstairs and downstairs area, it's small upstairs but has enough seating for multiple people. This place does get busy, it always has constant orders and the kitchen could get occupied, it took roughly about 30 minutes to receive, I ordered the juicy Lucy burger with fries. It was absolutely delicious and entirely worth it, the burger was cooked perfectly, the cheese is infused inside the meat and it tastes so good. The fries were seasoned well, everything was good.Our Server was nice and friendly, in terms of prices you're looking at around $20, great selection of beer, overall a pleasant experience. More...

Whitman's is a place of comfort. It's intimate, cozy and dim lit. A perfect setting for deep conversations and amazing specialty crafted burgers. I had the Juicy Lucy and boy is it JUICY! It is literally the opposite of dry. It's smothered and bathed in flavor and onions, which are my absolute favorite. Pair this burger with a Brooklyn Brewery beer and it's a match made in heaven. I've never had a craving for a burger before but now I will. The onion rings are also crispy and are a great accompaniment to the meal.The staff is also friendly and accomadating with seating. Highly recommend this spot! More...

Few weeks ago, stopped by for a quick bite with a friend. The place is small and cozy, and the people are nice. Kept the order NYC classic and ordered the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese. It was very good and a beer on the side makes it a warm, hearty meal. Prices! This spot has an affordable burger and it's something that makes this place a hit. This could've been a 5 star review, but my burger was very well done when I ordered it to be medium rare. Nevertheless, still good flavor and price. I'd def give this place a shot. More...

My friends and I stumbled upon this burger spot while heading to Thursday kitchen. Maybe it was destined for us to go to Whitman's because Thursday kitchen was packed, we were hungry and was not willing to join that wait list. I told my friends we should just get burgers. Walking in it is small, a bar seating, 2 tables for 2. We thought we might have to sit at the bar but the server directed us a downstairs section. Downstairs there are more seatings and tables. It's still small but I'm sure if you come at the right time, you can seat a party of 8-10 when they combine the tables.We ordered the local beer sausage as starters, it came with a side of spicy brown mustard and caramelized onions. This dish is limited on availability so it's until they sell out for the day. The sausage was good, it had a nice snap to it, not too salty. Pair it with the sweet caramelized onions and mustard and that can be addicting.We ordered the classic burger, Juicy Lucy, and Bluicy burgers. For sides we shared; tater tots, blue cheese fried and onion rings. My friends that had the classic and Juicy Lucy said the burgers were really good. The Juicy Lucy is filled with pimiento cheese! My Bluicy was cooked medium, the way I like it. The Bluicy is filled with blue cheese. My Bluicy burger was really good. The food was good but portion is small. More...

Solid burger spot, not much more than a glorified diner, but with lots of fun burger options (try the burger with peanut butter! ). A couple revolving beers on tap (and other drinks), good salads, and the fried pickles are excellent. Servers have always been friendly and helpful. One TV over the bar, and it is usually tuned to a game. And close to the High Line so you can walk off all the food! More...

Mmmmm...YUM! If you're craving a burger, or a good sandwich, this is a great place to go. I usually get the same things when I come here. ...The patty melt or the philly cheese steak. The reason for this? Consistency. It always taste like the same delicious sandwiches I always have, and that's super important. It's also the perfect ratio of meat, cheese and bread. Never too much of either ingredient. Harmonious, and delicious! (Okay okay I'll stop now haha) The staff is lovely, the prices are fair, the food comes out quickly. What's not to love? (Oh yeah...the calorie count lol) In all seriousness, this place is super yummy. The beer is pretty cheap too More...

Close to Penn Station, Chelsea Market, and the Vessel- this location is on point. Menu was basic diner food- lots of sandwiches and a few salads and apps. Full bar service and even a kids menu...all while not breaking the bank. We had the cheesesteak and 2 burgers. All really good! The crack kale is so good- get some to share with the table, you won't regret it. Highly suggest making reservations- on a Friday at noon- this place went from empty to full in a matter of 30 minutes. More...

Fun hidden burger joint in EV. Looks small when u first walk up, but they have basement seating. The service is SO spectacular, I would go again simply for the waitresses who were welcoming, accommodating, and sweet. We got the classic juicy Lucy and the mama's boy. The burger was good, but be careful on the first bite. The cheese is extremely hot and can spill out everywhere (it burned my friend when it squirted onto his arm). The Mama's Boy was forgettable, I didn't care for the bbq sauce used. Highly recommend the Brussels!!! More...

Juicy Lucy! What a explosion of flavor! I tend to like my burgers simple and not overly done with toppings. However, cheese is a must for me, and Whitman's did that in a uniquely delicious way. If you read all the other reviews, you'll know that the creamy center of this burger is filled with gooey goodness. The meat was cooked very well, which was surprising since the patty didn't have a normal center. The soft pillowy bread and fresh condiments made this a real treat. More...

I chose this place because of its proximity to the Vessel and I actually smelled the burgers before I even saw the storefront. I liked the vibe here. My only regret is that I didn't order a burger. Since I'm trying to eat more healthful (tough for someone who loves to eat), I ordered the shaved Brussels sprout salad and a side of grilled chicken. It was OK. The vinegarette could have been tangier and and the feta should have been crumbled instead of cubed. And the chicken was a hockey puck but I have nobody to blame but myself for ordering grilled chicken at a burger joint. In spite of MY bad experience, I am still giving Whitman's a 4 star rating because everyone else in my party were smart and ordered burgers and sweet potato fries and tater tots, local pickles and sausage. And they loved their food. So, I would be willing to go back and am basing my recommendation on how everyone else's food looked and smelled. Decent service. Nice bar and reasonable prices. More...

tldr: ok burgers, but good flavor combinationsThe burgers here are good. I got the hound burger, which has a rich cheese on top of a lightly seasoned patty. It was a great mix of texture and flavor. My one issue with this burger is that the top of the burger was grilled, but the inside of the burger was soft. I prefer my buns toasted on the inside. The fries were the best I've had, nice and crispy and fluffy on the inside. The chips here are unique too, they're similar to very thin cut waffle fries. The inside is pretty nice and quirky, and the people nice. More...

Came here for happy hour right before stopping at the Vessel and shops at the yard. We were able to find street parking a block away too. The happy hour menu was pretty good. If you order a drink at you get a free slider! Despite being free, it was very tastey. I ordered the green chili burger and my boyfriend ordered the spicy burger (forgot the actual names). We both loved our burgers and the local sausage appetizer. The prices were reasonable and the service was amazing. The decor was very interesting and I loved the Walt Whitman touches. I would definitely consider going here again. More...

Two words: JUICY LUCY!That is the very first thing that comes to mind when I think about Whitman's! I went here for a team lunch and was NOT disappointed. The Juicy Lucy burger was super popular at the time so I figured I give it a try. It was packed with flavor and definitely lived up to its name in the moisture department! The cheese filling was great addition! I definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the Hudson Yards area of NYC. The only caveat is that the restaurant is a little pricey so be ready to SPEND! More...

In a up an coming area of NYC...Whitmans has three or four different locations around the city. The East Village and SOHO to name a few. Haven't tried them yet, but this one was pretty darn good. What caught my eye right off the bat was the Juicy Lucy Burger only $14.00. Two burgers albeit a little small put together with pimento cheese in the middle. Just adding a little heat for your meal. This is a midwestern thing that has worked its way to the Big Apple. By no means is this as big like those that I've had in Saint Paul awhile back. My dining partner went for another popular item called the Hound also $14.00. That one was accompanied with shoe string fries and bacon. We shared an order of onion rings which were very good. Very large and cooked to order. Save room for the warm chocolate chip cookies and milk at the end. Yes I split them in half and dunked them in my glass. Just make sure you have plenty of napkins for your meal. Prices are reasonable for this area of the city. Easy access by the 7 train that stops only a few blocks away at Hudson & 34th Street station.

Went with a few friends. We chose Whitman's due to its close proximity to the theater we were going to and based on the good Yelp reviews. When we arrived, it looked so small and was empty so we actually thought twice about going in. One of the (very nice) waitresses came out and spoke with us and we decided to try it. We were all glad that we did! Two of us shared the brussel sprout salad (pretty good) and The Hound burger, the other two shared a turkey burger. The burgers were absolutely delicious; juicy and very flavorful. The sweet potato fries were also delicious. The chef was so accommodating that he cooked half of the Hound burger to "well done " and the other half to "medium". The quality of the meat used for the Hound burger was well above par. Ashley, our waitress, was patient and kind, kept our glasses full and checked in with us several times throughout the meal. I would recommend Whitman's and plan on going back again myself!! Yummy!

Although there were not many great food choices, I got a chicken sandwich with a side of potato chips. The chips are unsalted so make sure to add salt, the chicken sandwich was so good.

Came here for a late lunch on Saturday, was pleasantly surprised to find no wait and a pretty relaxed atmosphere given how hectic the Hudson yards area can be on weekends. Not a huge menu, but plenty of out there burger and sandwich options along with a nice selection of craft beers and other drinks. I had the Mama's boy which had pulled chicken, "coffee" bbq sauce, jalapeño slaw and came with the crack kale. The sandwich was solid, chicken was juicy and had a good ratio of meat to slaw so you noticed the jalapeño but it wasn't overwhelming. The bbq sauce was very sweet, if coffee was an ingredient it must not have been used to add any flavor, I certainly didn't notice any hints of coffee flavor. I'm not sure what type of bread was used, but it was very thick and dry, I think the sandwich lends itself much better to a lighter bread. The crack kale was surprisingly the star of the meal. They're flash fried and covered in old bay seasoning. They taste like super light potato chips I can't recommend them enough. Overall, definitely worth checking out. Given the variety of options I'm sure most people can find something they like here. More...
