Editorial Review for 5 Napkin Burger – by Joshua M. Bernstein
In Short
Hell's Kitchen hamburger aficionados should munch happily at this industrial-chic burger eatery outfitted with exposed lightbulbs, wraparound windows and dangling meat hooks. While the menu ranges from seared-tuna spinach salads to filet mignon to beer-steamed mussels, the star is the 5 Napkin Burger: a fat 10-ounce patty topped with caramelized onions, herbaceous rosemary aioli and gooey cheese, then served aside matchstick-style fries. Diners beware: The jaw-busting burger's juicy, so wear a napkin or you'll stain your clothes.

The burger was just okay and certainly not worth $15. Each entree was generally overpriced as were the drinks compared to similar restaurants. If you want, a good burger, go to your local coffee shop.
Pros: Nice, lively atmosphere.
Cons: Price, value, food
