I love this place. I don't eat much meat but I have to order the burger when I go here so I can be "in on it". There are burgers flying everywhere! It is very good.
Try to avoid the bathroom if at all possible. -

DELICIOUS burger.
just started on my best burger in nyc venture, so i can not say much about that, but i had to take a star away because of the sketchiness of the place and honestly, didn't seem that clean either... but either way an A on the window is enough for me and it was definitely a damn good burger. -

The best burger in NYC? That statement is a lot to live up to!
After an hour and a half wait, we were seated in a tiny booth and our server hurriedly (and a little rudely) scribbled down our order.
15 minutes later, my medium rare burger arrived. My eyes bugged out of my head. I started to panic. I didn't quite know how I was going to tackle this monster. A soft bun, a thick slice of raw onion, tomato, iceburg lettuce, pickle slices, cheese, two slices of bacon and last but not least, a PHATTY patty....this baby was a good 6 inches tall. I had my work cut out for me. And I took care of business.
At the end, I had a little pile of burger fat congealing on my tiny plastic plate. I was tempted to mop it up with the fries...and couldn't resist. I managed to get a few fat covered fries in without anyone at the table noticing.
So clearly Corner Bistro won't win any points for the service or the wait, but what they lack in hospitality, they make up for in their tasty treats.
Was the burger worth an hour and a half wait of being pushed and shoved by waitstaff and hungry patrons alike? Was this the best burger I've had in NYC? Fo' shoooore!
P.S. Don't waste precious stomach space on the grilled cheese (even with the bacon and tomato). Come here for one thing and one thing only: the burgers! -

I'm one of those people who just loves the place. Great jukebox, good prices on McSorley's ales, and some awesome burgers. That's it.
Don't analyze it too must--just enjoy it! -

WALL STREET, NY
I've been told to come here on my quest of the best burger in NYC. What better day than after the Giants Ticker Tape Parade?!? The place is really cool inside, hasn't changed in decades. If you look at the woodwork behind the bar long enough it will look like its leaning. In any case, get the Bistro Burger medium rare with fries and chili and of course a McSorley's Dark ale. Any place that serves McSorley's = automatic extra star. However, I am still on my quest for best burger in NYC.

So everyone is always talking about how legendary this place is and that it's a MUST New York thing. Decided to have a quick bite before meeting up with a friend the other day. The interior of the store is simple with a bit of history. The servers are all Hispanic but the Bartender wasn't which was good to add onto the American authenticity of the place. I ordered the signature Bistro Burger with Fries. I always get my meat done Medium Rare. The food came out in less than 10 minutes. The Burger was good but nothing super memorable and Fries were rather small but tasty. Basically it's a large beef patty with Bacon and American Cheese with onions, lettuce, and tomatoes with 2-3 sliced pickles. Service here is OK but understandable since this isn't a fancy place or anything like that. It's quite touristy since I saw many European and Japanese tourists while I was here.
Downside probably is that the prices have gone waayyy up. For people waiting to try this place out, as of 2012 these are the prices (I'm breaking it down to make it easier):
Bistro Burger: $7.75
Fries: $2.50
Diet Coke: $2.50
_______________
Total: $12.75+ Tax: $1.25 +Tip $2 = GRAND TOTAL: $16
I don't really think the price for the food I got was worth it. For $16, I would eat brunch at a nice restaurant down in Lower East Side with Table Service. Still think Shake Shack is MUCH MUCH Better. -

Stopped in with my boyfriend for a late night burger since we were in the area and it's rumored to have one of the best burgers in the city. The place was pretty empty. We ordered a Bistro burger, medium rare with fries and two small beers. The beers here are quite inexpensive.
The burger was juicy. Came with onion, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and bacon. Overall a good burger.
Would come again if in the area. -

WORST BARTENDING STAFF EVER!! My party waited for over 20 minutes to get served, then when we finally got the bartender's attention he just walked away. Took our business across the street and were served right away. DO NOT GO HERE. It is full of 25 year old guys and no women.

Y-u-m-m-y!
It's a small tight knit place and I went on a day where the Giants was playing. The server was kind of... "annoyed" would be the only word I can describe it. I'm not used to staring up at a wall to see a tiny frame of what the menu should be.
For all it is worth, the fact that the burger was juicy and big - made it worth awhile finding this place! Beers were a decent price, and the environment was not so bad either.
I would like to come here again if I was nearby and I was looking for a cheap burger joint -

The burgers are solid, but nothing to write home about. Restaurant is small, cramped and loud (which I don't mind, but when the burgers aren't great, these things bother me).
If someone asked me to go again, I would. However, I feel Corner Bistro is a bit over-rated. -

This place gets on nearly every list for best burger in the city. In my mind, I imagined some kind of bohemian upscale pretentious place. It was none of those. It is a friendly neighborhood bar that happens to sell amazing burgers!
Burgers are about all they sell for your dining pleasure. The only other food items on the menu nailed to the wall is a grilled chicken sandwich, and a grilled cheese sandwich, and I don't think too many people are ordering those. So the burger is king at this place.
And what a great burger it is. My two sons and I each ate the Bistro Burger. It is a large, broiled (not fried) burger fully dressed with cheese, tomato, pickles, lettuce and a slice of onion, and with bacon on top. Have I mentioned that this is an amazing burger?
Here's a tip for the savvy traveler: If it's busy, eat at the bar. Apparently alot of other people have read the same lists as me and there was a line of about 15 people. We noticed that there were seats open at the bar and I asked the bartender if we could eat there. He said "sure you can!" When we were done, the people standing in front of us were still in line!Listed in: NYC Travelog

No need to spazz out, New Yorker's are getting their pants wet for wrong kind of burgers these days it seems (yea im looking at you Shake Shack)..
their beef was yummy and a thick cut for a burger but, bread to burger ratio, and finesse of other topping are not all that great.
it's like the school canteen sandwich you'd get anywhere in the Mediterranean. -

Considering this is Manhattan, it doesn't really get too much cheaper than this for the quality. Sure, you can run to papaya dog and get a grade-z burger or mystery hot dog for cheap (not saying it's a bad thing, but if you want quality, Papaya Dog is not the place), but the corner bistro has amazing burgers that definitely hit the spot at 3am. Most things here are inexpensive ($4 for a glass of stella in manhattan is a bargain) and it definitely should be a destination during your night on the town!

Get the bistro burger. It has bacon in it, which makes all the difference. The meat is thick, but cooked medium and it's amazingly juicy. Fries were kind of too crispy for me, but the cute old man who seemed like the owner made up for it. He's so sweet! It's a small, quaint, and friendly little joint. Quiet, with a bar, kind of a chill place. Somewhere you can even eat alone and not feel judged. And we got fries, cheeseburger, and the bistro burger..for less than $20! Worth a try, definitely. Just nothing super memorable.

1) Line up along wall
2) send friend to get beers
3) try not to spill beers as you stand shoulder to shoulder with other burger seekers
4) sit down (finally)
5) order bacon cheeseburger
6) ENJOY THE DELICIOUSNESS
7) get your ass up so other people can sit down
Simple, solid burger that has remained pretty consistent over the years. Not exactly a relaxing dining experience - especially if you go in the evenings. -

When you're starving in the West Village at 2AM on a rainy night, this is a great place to go. A bit loud but it has a really casual, almost rustic feel and reminded my friend and I of a British pub.
The menu is tiny, but the burgers are heavenly. The bacon on the Bistro Burger (which is just what they call their bacon cheeseburger) was of the perfect crunchiness and they gave you two or three strips, not just one. The burger was big, juicy, and delicious. I can't wait to try a BLT or a grilled chicken sandwich here!
And one strange aspect, though not necessarily a downside: I SWEAR their fries are from McDonald's. -

I didn't want to believe the hype, but damn, nothing hits the spot like a burger from Corner Bistro. Make sure you dress it up with bacon and get a McSorley's on the side.
I'm a CA kid, so In N Out is my measuring stick for burgers. But comparing the two here is like apples and oranges. This burger is thick and a whole lot of cow. But such delicious, delicious cow. This is also coming from someone who enjoys periods of pescaterianism quite frequently.
Despite my aversions to fat, juicy burgers jam-packed with bovine, I love this joint and fantasize about it from time to time. I am excitedly entertaining daydreams of me wandering through the Village late at night, entering the dark hallows of Corner Bistro and spending the wee hours of the evening with a girl's best friends: a burger and beer. -
Review from nancy y.

Sorry in advance to all my friends who have rated this as the "best burger they've ever eaten", but I thought Corner Bistro was just A-OK. Given, it's very hard to properly review a burger place since there's only 1 "dish" you base your entire rating on, and in my opinion, rating burgers is a rather binary task. It's either a delicious burger or its a disgusting burger. I mean, rarely have I eaten a burger that I didn't immensely enjoy, and on those singular occasions, the burger was most often a) burnt to a crisp b) stepped on or c) veggie.
I'll admit that the Bistro burger I had (a cheeseburger with bacon) was very good, and given it wasn't a burger that was trying too hard or overly embellished with "gourmet" toppings, it was indeed good. Bun, lettuce leaf, tomato slice, cheese slice, juicy fat patty, onion, ketchup, bun. Yum. Very solid for sure, but...I mean, burgers are like girls. A little makeup or a lot of makeup, depending on the girl, can go a long way. Pair that with a "dress to impress" outfit then a saucy attitude (or saucy name), and you've got more or less a hot biddy. Now my approach to judging a burger is quite similar. I prefer my burgers to look good, smell good, to be accessorized with whatever complements them well - avocado, caramelized onions, gruyere, goat cheese, chipotle mayo sauce, kobe beef, the like. Plain Janes are modest and sweet, but no one spots a nice personality from across the restaurant, especially not one in New York. I suppose I'll give Corner Bistro some credit for making a patty of the perfect consistency, slightly crisp on the outside, with tender, juicy, loose ground beef on the inside that crumbles off, no rubbery chewiness nor skimpy thinness, but overall, it was one of those "not bad for what she's working with" situations.
Other than the burgers, the cheap beer selection was not bad, the bar wasn't completely divey (jazz was playing from the speakers, after all) and service was fast. Probably won't be coming back though. I think enjoyed shake shack more, which says something. -

It's an institution and should be visited at least once if you enjoy burgers so you can have your own opinion.
Mine is this: It's not a very good burger.
They broil the burgers and each of the 3 times i have gone mine has been overcooked. I just think that at the end of the day they are churing out waaaay to many burgers in such a tiny kitchen to be able to cook everyone's burger to perfection. And if my burger is not cooked to med-rare perfection it is a waste of my time.
The bun is an afterthought and so are the fries. It's really no where even near the top 10 burgers you can get in the city.
At the same time, you almost just HAVE to go once. Be the judge yourself.
As an aside it is a cool spot to chill for a cheap beer... and i do enjoy the surly oldschool vibe. -

Sad to say over-hyped.
I should have seen this coming. In most reviews about this place, words like "bohemian", "no frills" and "value" always come up but what about the burger itself?!?!?
I get it. The whole nostalgia of coming here during your college years and getting a decent burger for cheap while having the option of getting a McSorley's is cool. However, does that really constitute it as one of NYC's best burgers???
I ordered a medium-rare bistro burger (BLT and cheese) that was cooked right but it lacked flavor. The bacon was overcooked to the point where it cracks and falls out of your burger. The rest of the toppings and bun was ok but nothing special.
In the end, there are much better burgers out there that are made with better quality meat and flavor. Its a burger that you can easily duplicate in your own kitchen. Its not bad but not great as well. -

Not like I remember at all, definitely a let down!!
I live near by and have watched the Corner Bistro try to get a NYC Food Service Grading multiple times. I remember walking by and it was a B or maybe even a C. A week or so later, the Grade Pending Sign was up. Eventually it was replaced with a B and it stayed that way for quite a while. Today we walked by and it was an A! I expected the place had cleaned up a little bit to have improved the grading score. I was really looking forward to the burger I remembered having a few years ago.
What a let down!! Today it was extremely dirty and the food was not good at all. We were served unseasoned beef on stale buns with very cold french fries. The beer also tasted a bit strange and not how Yuengling should be. Was it a dirty tap or something? I tried to add some flavor using the condiments on the table but all the bottles were coated in a thick layer of grease.
It is super cheap but I would pay more if they added some seasoning to the burger and hired someone to actually clean.
I will not be going back! -

I was very disappointed with this burger.
I think it is a cool spot but this review is based solely on the burger, and it left much to be desired in my opinion. It was big, cheesy, relatively juicy but more than anything it was tasteless.
I felt like I was munching on a bland meatloaf on a burger bun.
Did not live up to the hype. -

Great burger, cooked to temp, well seasoned. Fries were awesome too.
I was a little unimpressed with the buns, but, whatever...
While not the best I've had, it's still wonderful... I dig it, a lot.
It's a no bullshit burger joint. Meat, cheese, veg, few other accoutrements are offered ( think like, like... Chilli, and Bacon)... I just like mine with meat, cheese and veg, and bacon though, personally. Oh! and the bacon was fried crisp-crisp like I like... The fat had the texture of the fries that accompanied my meal... I *heart* that. -

It really is THE burger in the city for one reason. It's really good quality cow, churned up, exposed to heat for a suitable amount of time, some cheese, maybe bacon, stuck in bread and put on a plate.... That makes it the real deal.
None of that poncey pinky out, fine dining crap.
Or hiding the meat is turning bad, over seasoned and over greasy nonsense available in 99% of NYC.
This is the benchmark, maybe not best ( not that I've had better).
It is Burger done right every time.
If I'm in the tri state and need a great burger, I'm driving here! -

The best burger in Manhattan - I've had the other contenders and Corner Bistro wins. I've had better burgers, but not in New York. Just get the Bistro Burger medium or med rare and enjoy. Fries are good, so is the chili. Their cheap house beer (can't remember the name) is pretty good as well.
A real dive bar - my kind of place. Go at an off time, otherwise you could be in line forever. -

This is one of these places that I have been wanting to go to for years. I finally did a few months ago and loved it. This is a place that food speaks for itself.
I ordered a Bistro Burger. It was delicious and juicy. The burger was about 7 or 8 Oz's of perfectly cooked medium beef. It had melted American with a couple of strips of crispy bacon. The burger was a perfect explosion of flavors and crispiness. Outstanding.
I sat at the bar and service was fast, efficient and friendly. Beers were $3 for Bud Light.
This is not a gourmet burger place with exotic meats. This is a burger place were the Burgers speaks for itself. It is tasty and did I say juicy, very juicy. The menu is simple with 5 or 6 items.
I love this place with the cheap beer, burgers and well place TVs. I only have the Bistro Burger and a few beers. There has been a couple times that I had a second one. They are so good. Yummy............. -

The place is rather small, can get a little packed. No TV's in the back room to watch a game. The waitstaff are very rude and impatient/non-accomodating. The menu is simple, but that is what one should expect. They're obviously known for their simple choice of burgers, which happen to be very good actually.

Very good no-frills burger.
***Short Review
Came here for lunch in Oct'11
This is my favorite 'no frills' burger as of 10/2011.
Everything is simple but just works.
The Bistro Burger (a bacon cheeseburger) has your basic elements right.
Good patty with a nice sear & lots of juices.
Great generous balance of greens & onions.
Don't forget to add a bit of ketchup to tie all the flavors together.
A good honest bun that holds everything together and isn't too starchy.
Price is about right @ $7.75
(website prices need to be updated).
Portion size is moderate.
I suggest ordering a side of fries @ $2.25
Service is about average.
Ambiance is a pretty cool rustic pub.
Visiting in the afternoon on a weekday it wasn't too crowded.
Cash only policy sucks.
***Detailed Review
The moment I entered Corner Bistro, I felt a bit let down. I generally prefer more gourmet burgers, so I wasn't so sure I was going to enjoy this. Furthermore, it was horrifying that the waiter did not ask how I would like the burger prepared, as I'm particular about having my red meat bloody most of the time. Nonetheless, it doesn't hurt to keep an open mind and see what Corner Bistro had to offer. I ordered the 'Bistro Burger', which is essentially a bacon cheeseburger with a slice of yellow cheddar, raw onion, some lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a resilient bun. I was in for welcome surprise!

My first impression was that the beef patty was visually astounding, but everything else was crude, if not boring. The beef patty was very thick and almost resembles a great meat ball with a distinct charring on the surface. Biting into the burger, the juice levels are very high, especially for a burger that's cooked close to medium well. The ability to do this, imo, speaks well of the preparation. The first bite sent the juices dripping to my plate, and formed a glorious 'pool of blood'. Flavor from the beef patty comes predominantly the juices and the char.
Otherwise, the meat itself isn't particularly complex. Texture of meat is conventionally chewy, coarser grind of meat. I feel this also allows the beef patty to tie in more seamlessly with the bacon, as they both share a somewhat similar texture. The bacon gives the beef some additional complexity, and isn't distracting in a negative way unlike some of the lesser bacon burgers. I feel it wouldn't work any other way. Focus of this burger remains the meat, but it isn't overbearingly so. I felt there was a good balance between condiments and meat.
As good as the beef patty is, I feel it needed the condiments in order to work well. I think I might be a bit bored if I just ate the beef patty by itself. In this regard, I feel that the beef patty while very good, has it limits. In some of my favorite burger, the beef patty would hold it's own even without any condiments.
Condiments here is simple and classic, but really well balanced. There's a good amount of raw onion and greens, which give the burger a nice lighter textural contrast with the crunch and crisp of the greens. A good slice of tomato gives the burger some sweet flavor, although I felt it was not enough to tie everything together. A dollop of ketchup brought things together nicely.
Bun isn't too much of an interesting choice, not unlike other classic 'no frills' burgers, and I feel it's entirely appropriate. It is supportive, and keeps the burger together without being too messy despite the excess juices. There's also a great ratio of bread to meat & greens. The burger is so balanced and seamless, it's easy to take it for granted.
I'm not sure if cooking the meat closer to medium rare, or even rare would work. You would get more juices, but compromise the nice texture and char. It might be worth experimenting if the establishment is okay with it.
Portion size was pretty moderate. This was actually my second lunch of the day after having a prix fixe lunch at 'Kin Shop' nearby. As a heavier eater, I would probably be more comfortable eating two burgers to satisfy my appetite.
Fries are alright. They're probably not essential, but more of an appetite filler or additional condiment. They're almost exactly like a McDonald's fry, but with thankfully much lower seasoning. I felt them to be a tad greasy, but not bad nonetheless. I don't feel that the quality of the fries match that of the burger.
Overall very good burger joint!Listed in: Favorite burgers, ranked in…

Corner Bistro... burgers and fries that are a cut above fast food joints, at fast food prices... What more could you want?
However, I recommend getting your food to go since it has a tendency to get taken over by obnoxious wannabe "hipster" types. -

I was never a big fan of burgers until I had the Corner Bistro Burger in NYC! The first time I had the Corner Bistro Burger was about 6 years ago at 2 am with my gal pal. Was I glad to meet up with her & her then bf that night! We shared the $7.95 bistro burger which comes with cheese, bacon, lettuce, etc. I took a few bites, and I was like "oh my god, this is such a tasty burger! I think it's the best I ever had!" Why? The meat was so tender & juicy, seasoning is dead on, cooked to medium perfectly, each bite had the same consistency, perfect amount of meat; the bacon had just the right amount of smokiness & thickness to them; the bun plays a perfect partner to the meat.
Like I said, I converted to liking burgers because of this place, and to this date, it is still the best burger I ever had! I took my husband (who loves burgers) to this place last month when we visited... to quote my hubby, "this is a superior burger", and he has eaten a lot of burgers in his life! Sometimes, I find myself craving for a Bistro Burger, but I can only dream about it since I live in SF. I am not sure where I can find a comparable burger in the bay area, if anyone has any suggestions, pls let me know!
Until then, bistro burger - you are 'da bomb!
ps. this is a no-frills place that has an irish pub feel to it. it gets very crowded late night; it's better to go during the day if you don't want to deal with crowds. -

Corner Bistro is a NY staple. The burgers are solid and the beer is cheap. If you haven't eaten here, you definitely should go at least once.
I don't think this is the best burger in NY but it is definitely worth a trip to experience. The fries are also pretty good. And you can wash it all down with a mug or 5 of McSorley's Light and/or Dark.
The biggest problem here is the space. If you don't come here at a good time, you will wait for a table and it could be awhile. So if you hate people or waiting, come early on a Tuesday or Wednesday evening. Otherwise, the line will probably be out the door. -

I thought the bistro burger was ok. Honestly, I was underwhelmed.
The medium, is a true medium, though. Juicy and slightly pink. The beef was of good quality. I got through it, but was honestly bored before the halfway point. I guess bland is the word that comes to mind. The fries are a joke.
