    I had a $10 Groupon Now credit that I used to get $15 to this place. I feel bad complaining because I got all my food for free...

    But here I go. My chicken caesar wrap was waaaay too salty. Inedibly salty. The iceberg lettuce was fine, but it was ruined by too much salty dressing, soggy oversalted croutons, and oversalted halal-style chicken. I had a few bites and threw it away. I also had a make-your-own salad, which was fine (but how do you mess that up?).

    The people who made the food were nice enough, but the man behind the cash register was a total jerk. I had spoken to him on the phone earlier to ask about the coupon and he was rude and brusque and tried to tell me that I couldn't use the coupon. Then when I paid with it, he rolled his eyes at me, scrutinized the coupon as though he was looking for some way to reject it, and added up my total on a napkin. He glared at me when he told me that I owed 85 cents. I said, "Oh, for tax?" and he shouted "Tax is on everything!" Not sure what that means, but I don't like being shouted at for no reason. Rude, rude man.

    Don't put your business up on Groupon if you don't want people to buy it! All in all, this was a waste of free.

    It was okay. Great for a wrap on the run. I didn't expect much so what I got was considerably better.
    I got the chicken wrap with mayo lettuce tomato and american cheese. I added a ton of hot sauce since it basically didn't have much flavor but cest la vie on the upper east side.
    My friend got the philly cheese steak which looked MUCH more yummy. I will def get that next time.

    The people there are really nice and actually care what you feel. Their fries are great too.

    The food was okay but nothing special. It was also pretty expensive for the quality of food being served.

    OMG WHY ALL THE BAD REVIEWS?!?

    I love this place. I just ordered from seamless at 9:05 and my food got here at 9:17. pretty amazing.

    I got the greek salad with chicken wrap and fries.

    OKAY so this total was incredibly inexpensive ($13) INCLUDING tip.

    here I am expecting really soggy fries like the ones from dinners and a really gross wrap .

    my fries were so crispy and amazing.
    my wrap was so full of flavor

    yes the wrap is huge. I only ate half. So what?!

    anyways. I suggest getting delivery here. this is my first time and I plan to order from here ATLEAST 3x a week from now on.

    YAY!

    I dont know why people are giving this place negative reviews. The burgers are fantastic. I know some other reviews didn't like the chicken caesar wrap but when I got it I thought it was good. They have a nice outdoor area and frequently have on ESPN and soccer games on the TV inside. For a neighborhood with very few lunch places, I think this place is a gem

    Their wraps are fine for a quick meal. Nothing above average honestly. Their prices are a bit steep for the value as well.I mean $8 for a turkey panini without anything else not even a bag of chips is a bit much in my opinion. But overall it gets the job done.

    They make a competent broccoli & cheddar-stuffed baked potato, and I also was relatively pleased with my small made-to-order salad, although it could have included more lettuce.

    Service was fast and friendly.

    The food at this joint is A-OK. Not great, not awful. Just A-OK. I had the veggie burger. Like other veggie burgers I've had on the Upper East Side, it's this weird, really soft veggie patty. All these restaurants must buy from the same distributor. The burger here is massive, and the side of fries fills the entire plate. The burger literally sits on a plate of fries. There was nothing wrong with the veggie burger (i.e., it wasn't awful), but it wasn't great either.

    My boyfriend had the cheesesteak wrap. It came with an odd BBQ-like sauce. He wasn't impressed.

    All in all, this place is OK. Big servings for what you pay.

    Large Burgers.  Literally Flame Grilled!

    Big ol' flame you can see when they cook it, and then you can taste it.

    Love the new style screw-capped aluminum Cola bottles I discovered here...how so biodegradably earth-conscious, beautiful, and perfectly ice cold.

    The cook was hispanic and extremely friendly, even after I made him make me a burger near closing time when they'd just started cleaning up the grill.  Sweeeet!

    Total Price: $10.71 including tax for a deluxe burger with fixings, half fries / half onion rings, and soda.

    1 block away from Hunter College.

    Let's start with the good part:
    Amazing and unexpected little courtyard that ends this burger joint! Too bad the Burgers are only OK... Needs more investigation, though: the wraps might be also good.

    A great find on seamless web - cheap, fast, and a low minimum requirement! The veggie burgers here are great. I can't really speak for much else, and I've never actually been to the physical location. But this is easy one of my "go-to's" when I need a quick and easy dinner on a weekday night.

    Great burgers are found nowhere but here in the Upper East Side! I loved getting fat here, as I went almost every week when I lived in New York. Try their smoothies too, they're awesome. They also have a private seating area in a small outdoor courtyard in the back of the restaurant, where you can enjoy the outdoors with some great food.

    Food's okay. Convenient place to pick up a burger or a chicken gyro but the service is inconsistent. At best, they're civil. At worst, they're rude, nasty and gives customers a hard time. For this reason, I avoid this place and head up to Wrap and Run for better food at slightly better prices and way better servie.
