Terrific Burgers, Great Fries

The problem with many of New York’s best burger joints (Shake Shack excepted) is the lackluster fries that accompany the pièce de resistance. JG Melon avoids this quandary by turning out incredibly crisp and moist cottage fries alongside their burgers. The burgers themselves are on the small side, so it’s good that the fries are so stellar or most customers would leave without feeling full. A cup of delicious chili is also an option here, in case you’re not in the mood for fries (though who’s ever not?).

I’ve only ever frequented JG’s in the wee hours, before heading home after a night of carousing. The place is still lively even toward closing time, and the old-school pub ambience is easy to negotiate even when you don’t have all your wits about you. And the perfectly done burgers and unique fries will definitely restore you for whatever comes next.

What I ate:
  • *****

    One of the best burgers in New York. Sure, it’s not Shake Shack, but it’s open year-round, and it’s indoors!

  • *****

    Oh, these are delicious. Can you find these anywhere else? I haven’t…

  • ***

    Pretty good, but personally I’d rather attempt another burger than settle for some chili.
