Big D’s Burger Shack

Must have hit this place on an off day, it is by far the worst burger I have ever had

When I want to treat myself to a good burger, this is the first place I think of. It is a little more expensive, but well worth the money. Fast and friendly on top of it!

This place is great if you want a real burger. Huge meat patties, great tasting milkshakes, and fast service. And it’s family owned let’s support our local businesses.

Definitely the best burger in Manhattan. I always stop here when I’m in town and craving a burger. Only downside is the price for the meal will set you back about 10 $ for a burger/​fry combo, (no drink) but I think it’s worth it.

It was good. Like hole-​in-​the-​wall good. But not really worth the price. For the price, I could make it myself at home with top quality ingredients and still save a couple bucks. I doubt I’ll be returning anytime soon.

I love this place. Great burgers, great rings, great service. I don’t get to Manhattan too often but I will make it point to ear here every time I do.

Shack is definetly the right word to describe this restaurant. Although don’t let the outside scare you away.
Number 1 reason to go here is local restaurant with local beef. Not the best burger I’ve ever had, but definitely a great burger. Also enjoyed the fries, onion rings, and corn bites. Why go to Smashburger or some chain when you have this right up the road?
Very limited seating inside, just enough space room for people to wait on their orders. (about a 10 minute wait). The size and not having good seating to sit down and eat is the only thing that keeps this from 5 stars.

Visiting MHK from NYC. Relative Told me that this place has one if the best burgers they ever tasted. Got the Big D’s burger, it was okay the meat was more on the dry side. The onion ring came out dark which means they used old oil. Overall an okay place.

Nothing spectacular I’ve had better burgers. It’s not bad but it’s not 5 star worthy.
Pros
Service is great and they’re really friendly.
Beer batter fries are good and they give you a large order
Cons
To me for what you get the burger is overpriced
They charge for mayo? And charge for a lot of items you would think would be included taking a $ 6 burger up to $ 9 or $ 10

Not many people know Big D’s served breakfast on Fri and Sat but they had the best Biscuits and Gravy I have ever eaten. Yes, I am using the past tense. Unfortunately it was such a well kept secret, he will stop serving breakfast at the end of this month (May, 2015) due to lack of interest. RIP B&G! I vote to add it to the regular menu.

Love this place. Used to live right behind it and stop in at least once a week. Not anymore, but I still make time to get me some Big D’s. Best burger in town. Juicy and cooked to perfection. The beer-​battered fries are amazing and the corn bites are to die for.
Not cheap, but you’re paying for some serious quality here.

The price is far too high. Paying $ 10+ for a 2/​3lb burger and not getting fries is bad enough, but when there wasn’t even the option of purchasing fries. The burger was good, but I can get «good» anywhere.

I just discovered Big D’s several months ago after continually seeking opinions from locals on the best burger in town over the past two years of living in Manhattan. It’s not Vista Burger, that’s for sure! :-(Went there once and never returned.
Someone mentioned this place to me and though I used to live nearby, I never thought of stopping by as it didn’t appear open. I finally tried it on their recommendation and was not disappointed. Burgers here are made fresh to order and are large with tasty beef.
First time out, I got the regular burger and it was too much for this shorty. Second time around, I got the slider and was satisfied. The fries are battered and extra crispy shoestring style, which is unique. One order easily covers two people, if not more. Each time my husband and I leave a bunch in the basket despite sharing.
The staff are very accommodating and friendly. My only issue with this place is that during the winter months, it’s really a take out joint. There ‘s only two tables inside so if anyone is in there, it’s too crowded. One table straddles the bathroom. During warmer months, there’s seating outdoors, so much more pleasant even if it’s on a busy road.
When you’re craving a nice juicy burger ‘n fries that goes beyond typical fast food, this is the place to eat it in Manhattan.

Hands down best place EVER. If I didn’t live in junction city i’d probably eat here everyday ! The owner is down to earth and knows how to cook up some of the best burgers and fries. It’s super fresh and sooo yummy ! Before I move I’m doing the Big D’s Challenge.

FREAKING expensive! But freaking good!!! 2 burgers, 2 fries, and 2 large cherry limeades was $ 37!!! Outrageous, but yummy

Very delicious, but pricey…

LOVE THE FOOD! Big D is an awesome guy! We always get two burgers and one order of beer battered fries! Just enough for two. I will go back until it no longer is open. Fantastic food!

Finally had the chance to stop in for a meal today, and a meal it was. I ordered the Cowboy burger was three patties and 4 alarm toppings with beer battered fries enough for two, and a blueberry cheesecake malt! The place has a cool little theme. The young man that took my order was very professional and made a great meal for me! Would definitely return. I agree the food is a little expensive, but for quality and quantity it’s on par where it should be. Price is no issue.

Probably the best burger I’ve had in Manhattan thus far. The whole thing just tastes fresh.

I’ve lived about 5 blocks from this place for 3 years and I only was recently introduced to their burgers. They are by far the best burger in town. Pricing is a little higher than what you might expect but for the amount of food you get it’s worth it! The staff is very nice as well. If you order in person they make it there on the spot so expect to wait about 10 minutes, however you can call in and order and it’s usually ready within 10 to 15 minutes so you can pick it up right at the counter. Highly recommended!
