Zagat's says: “Yes, you can find” “succulent BBQ” near Times Square at this “barnlike” joint brimming with “tourists and locals” “pigging out” on “affordable” eats and using “towels as napkins”; all in all, it’s a “fun, fast, messy” time, even if service blows “hot and cold.”
I lived in that block years ago and had their burgers once a week - one of the best burgers in Manhattan. Never had the bbq! The flat dogs they have are also amazing. Burger: medium rare, lettuce tomato and raw onion, with mayo on the side. MY MOUTH IS WATERING JUST TYPING THIS!
