Don't Just Wish Someone A Good Holiday, Give Them One With Chili's.
Went here for lunch a few days ago... was craving a burger and oh boy did I get one.
We went fairly early for lunch and had the place to ourselves. By the time we left at 1pm, it was starting to fill up and everyone was enjoying their gigantic burgers.
Their menu is great - you can pretty much find any burger combination under the sun. It's almost impossible to finish the platter (their steak fries are really great!), but it is such an impressive meal, you can't turn it down. I'm glad they don't put the calorie count on their menu, I'd be afraid to find out.
I thought it was a great idea to get the chili burger, and although it was the most intimidating meal I have ever encountered (it almost looks gross when you get it) it was absolutely delicious. The POURED on the chili to the point where I didn't know where my burger was. It was a knife and fork job, obviously, but a meal to kill the deadliest of burger cravings.
My friend ordered a burger with guac and raw onions, which she said was absolutely delicious. Looked it too - nice chunky homemade guac.
The service was great, attentive and courteous. We laughed at how ridiculous my burger was saying "it was the messiest on the menu, but I know you can do it!" Alas, I was conquered and full beyond comprehension before finishing.
I can't wait to go back here again and try another burger.
Everything from the crowd to the food was just no good. It wasn't inedible but the atmosphere made it unbearable.
The yelp reviews are misleading. From reading the reviews I guessed this place might not be my most favorite atmosphere but the food would be good. The burger did not hold together and it did not have any flavor. It's easy to tell they are not using high quality beef.
I live around the corner but will definitely not be coming back here.
Step 1) Go out for karaoke at a BYOB place and drink more than you should.
Step 2) Wander down the street a few blocks and go to Jackson Hole.
Step 3) End your night with a burger so large that it will take you several attempts at a couple of different angles to figure out how to lift it and bring it to your face for eating.
Step 4) Look back down at your plate a little while later and wonder how you managed to eat everything. Then look at the beer you ordered and try to figure out what made you think that you needed more alcohol in your system when you first sat down to eat.
Step 5) ~optional~ Drink the beer anyway and hope you get home.
Yup, that's Jackson Hole. Still my most enjoyable burger anywhere.
Lunch delivery was horrible today. Came quickly, and there is a discount on http://seamlessweb.com for all you folks out there.
Had the chicken sandwich that advertised that it came with cheese, mushrooms and onions. Sure, it came with cheese..for 50 cents extra. Do what? And so I decided to get the steak fries that were likely the worst, most flavorless and soggy attempt at a steak fry that I have ever had. I didn't enjoy my sandwich either; yes, true, the chicken was HUGE, but it was also dry to the bone. BORING lunch. Never again. WAY too expensive.
Burger #134: Jackson Hole, NY....?
After downing the cheese steak in my last review, I felt compelled to take advantage of my capacity for gluttony and insatiable desire for as many meals in NYC as I could fit in me. So I walked three doors down to grab a burger.
Once seated, a drink on the menu called to me, vanilla egg cream! A distant cousin to my all time favorite Vietnamese drink, soda sa ht gà, it lacks any egg or cream, but is something they just don't have on the west coast. So I ordered that and a bacon cheese burger, medium rare. While I waited for my food, they brought out some lightly pickled cucumber chips and my drink. Both were so good! While pickles and egg cream might not be the best pairing, I was happy. In about 5 minutes, my burger came out:
http://www.yelp.com/bi...
It was huge! They say the burger is only 7oz, but that must be the weight after they cook it. The pile of bacon atop my meat pile was equally impressive, yet slightly undercooked. Since I enjoy chewy bacon it was no big deal. The burger was cooked perfectly and the meat was fluffy and loosely packed. But this burger was not without a major failing, no salt! The meat was so bland! I was able to salvage the flavor by salting every bite, but I shouldn't have to do that.
If you're looking for a huge, lightly packed burger, this is your place! Just don't forget to bring some salt.
I just don't get this place. Everything is so overpriced and it comes with nothing. They charge for lettuce and tomatoes? Really, for an effin' burger? And, $5 for onion rings. Get a grip. That being said, the burgers are the size of my head and good for sharing.
Love this place, Great Burgers good drinks.... Had a party in there basement that sat around 30 of my friends...
This place is for great burgers! Burgers are HUGE. Prices are great, considering the neighborhood. You can feed a bunch of people at a reasonable cost and everyone leaves happy! I bring some of my office colleagues here all the time and no complaints so far, they all loved it!
I had the baldouni, texan, kaluba and those are really good. Some of my peeps had the soul, akaboura, western, pizza and they loved it. The turkey burger is unusual, the patty is probably homemade, so delicious and tasty! If you order nachos, the size is simply insane! It feeds 8 people!
I've Had Jackson Hole delivered three times. I'm more disappointed each time. The burgers are over an inch thick and are like something that your drunk uncle would grill at a barbecue - flavorless and served with a side of brown lettuce. The saguaro cacti on their website are what really offended me
Meh! Feh.
Yuppified pseudo-diner, beef-eatin' wannabes.
Sorry. I must be in a bad mood orsomthin' but I just was not blown away by Jackson Hole. My ex-boyfriend LOVED it here. (Hmmmn, maybe that's why he's an ex???)
There were burgers, and crowds, and strollers, and crowds.
Don't go on a weekend is all I can say. Perhaps the Queens Original is better? (Originals often are,) I though JG Melon had better burgers, but what do I know? Half the time I go for the turkey burger anyway.
I have driven passed the Queens one, but only eaten at this one (Manhattan).
Best burger EVER! Enormous 7oz burgers. Apparently, they grind the beef in house for a truly delicious, fluffy, un-processed hamburger. I had the goat cheese hamburger. Simple, but amazing. They didn't skimp on the goat cheese at all. They refilled our free half-sour pickles about 4 times, to which the server laughed about. Careful though! Refills on coke not free!! Don't expect jaw dropping service--just a local burger joint. YUM!!
A less than classy joint in a more than classy section of town. I was hoping this place might provide salvation in a section of Manhattan that I don't personally consider offers all that much except exhorbent rents.
It kind of reminds me of that joke that goes something like this...
"We went to this restaurant last night and the portions were so small..and the food was so bad!"
That would be true except actually the portions are enormous but the blah quantity is not offer redemption. While I didn't eat their burger for fear of having to get new pants for dessert it looked like a greasy, and I mean greasy, mess of ground chuck. Their chili and nachos were the same---loads and loads of unappealing heft. I can go to a good diner and plenty of food that actually looks/tastes enjoyable.
Clearly the produce isn't coming from an organic farm in Jersey. While many restaurants probably get their ingredients in large shipments from a wholesale company no wants to blatantly detect this and eat something that tastes of such cheap ingredients and involved such minimal actual on-site cooking.
Although I am late to the party, I wanted to try this burger spot myself solely on the ranting and raving. I would like to preface this with the ever dreaded 'Seamless Web" stamp.
Having ordered a pizza burger, california burger with bacon and a turkey burger on different occasions, I was very excited to sink my teeth into them. I will admit that I got a little excited by the sheer size of the meat. While I will not complain about the delivery times, I took bites into my burgers and asked myself, "Is that it?" Flavorless ground beef. Accompanied by soggy fries and onion rings, my expectations had been lowered yet fulfilled.
I call bullsh-t on you, Jackson Hole. I'm going to have to pass.
IFHTP 2
Jackson Hole is where my office ends up ordering delivery from quite often. It's got a vast enough assortment of food to satisfy whatever you might be craving and as a result makes for a good place to order when there's a number of different people wanting different things.
Not only are their famous burgers nice and greasy, even their salads can be a little over done with the olive oil. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, it tends to be the place that comes to mind when you're seeking that post hangover meal that's rich in grease to settle those cravings.
I'm not naming names, but I'm sure that's part of the reason why some people at the office order from here. That person might be me...or it might not.
Delivery is pretty darn speedy too!
It's a pretty cozy place with a lingering scent of good ol' grilled American ground beef. The burger is good but not great. It can definitely use a bit more flavor, but the huge portion and endless amount of homemade toppings(guacamole is amazing) make it quite tasty. The fries are so-so. They also make a grilled chicken sandwich which is just as good the burger but with less calories, I think. Remember, the portions are enormous. Conclusion: Good for the endless toppings and great for appetite satisfaction. They also make their own vanilla coke with vanilla syrup.
Great burgers, chicken sandwiches, and shakes. A little over priced, but always good. Never any problem, a little crowded in the seating,
and hectic in serving at times, but satisfying for the tummy.
I'm pretty familiar with Jackson Hole. I've never been to Wyoming, but they do have an outpost in Englewood, NJ that I've frequented since my H.S. days. Since I now frequent one near my humble abode in Murray Hill, and because I have been on a lifelong quest for all things burger, I figured it would be worthwhile to review.
The thing about Jackson Hole is- its pretty impressive to first time visitors and burger neophytes. First of all, the place has something like 15 different varieties of burgers and several different toppings, all of which sound really appetizing. And then there's the sheer size of the thing. It's billed as 7 ounces, but its seemingly the size of a bowling ball.
But then there's the reality. The toppings aren't the best quality. The barbecue sauce is some sort of hot pink/purple, overly sweet travesty of a sauce. The bacon isn't always cooked right. The bun just isn't anything special and just isn't close to being adequate enough to house the ridiculously large burger....
Ah the burger. It's steamed up to a gigantic size, but steamed so heavily that its moist to the point of being wet, the meat comes apart almost instantenously, and the flavor and texture is sometimes tossed outside the window depending on just how inflated the cook wants to make the burger that day. A novelty, yes. Impressive initially, sure. But once you've gone around trying the best burgers you'll immediately notice the lack of flavor, and be perturbed at having a burger eating experience which requires a knife and fork.
But there are a couple of reasons to eat here. First- amazing nachos! Loaded with chili, jalapenos and cheese and delicious- can be a meal in and of itself. And great onion rings! See, those two things even required exclamation marks.
3.5 stars
Ordered through seemless web delivery...if you order by there you get a 20% discount. came quick and just as described. juicy burger, perfect. with the discount, the platter was about $10 good price with delivery too. i'd order from there again.
The veggie burger is a bland and soggy mess, and the BBQ sauce tastes like ketchup with extra vinegar and water... ewww.
I came here fairly late (around 10-ish) on a Thursday night of drinking, so it wasn't that crowded. And I was starving because I hadn't eaten anything since 1pm (yeah, that was really smart). I was craving something greasy, something hearty, and some place where i can sit. Jackson Hole seemed to fit the bill. I ordered the balduni, which is the burger topped with onions, mushrooms, and cheese (swiss?). The fat was oozing out of the burger and running down my hand. But I ate the half pound burger and I really enjoyed every ounce of it. The fries weren't too bad, but I'm not really a huge fan of the steak fries. Overall, it's a pretty good burger, but I still feel I haven't had the best burger in town.
This place is synonomous with burgers. I used to frequent this joint more back in the college days. Recently got reacquainted with it via Seamlessweb (20% off first order).
- Bacon burger Regular ($7.40) [Beef, Medium] - loosely packed, huge patty, melt in your mouth goodness, always consistent.
- Chicken Topped w/ Bacon Sandwich ($7.65) [Garlic Semolina Roll] - bacon came a bit wilty, chicken was moist though.
I can't believe I wrote that last review... I've completely changed my mind about the burgers here... They're not good. I still like the atmosphere, but the burgers... The meat is completely flavorless and grainy. How could I have liked this before? Iduno, I guess I like big burgers. But really, if you're looking for a good tasting burger (and by burger, I mean the meat, not the egg or guacamole you can put on top of it), you might want to look elsewhere. There are MUCH better burgers in New York. I'd still come back, maybe for a baked potato or some other thing on the menu, but not for the burger.
This place is awesome. I've been ordering their guacamole burger from seamlessweb for a while now,… Read more »
Maybe it's just me, but the burgers taste like they've been in the freezer a while.
I don't really like beef, but my boyfriend does, so we went here for burgers because we were in the area and wanted to go out and celebrate our country's independence (hehe). I was unimpressed with the decor, I love kitsch, but the Wyoming- like feeling wasn't quite achieved and the focus of the place ended up being the giant tv on the wall. It felt like a bar with tables and chairs and even though it was only 12pm, that's what it was acting as with college (or HS?) students sitting in the table next to us gulping down beers and then fighting about whether or not $6 was an acceptable tip for a $70 tab.
I ordered a brie cheese-turkey burger and my boyfriend got a regular beef burger with a side of mayo. My turkey burger was cooked well, but over seasoned, there was so much garlic, onions and parsley in there that the meat couldn't have accounted for more than 6oz out of the 7. I love garlic by itself, so I nibbled a piece and it tasted horrible. I think the main problem with the burger was the garlic and onions didn't actually get cooked, so they were just crunchy and terrible... also, I'm just not a big fan of parsley.
When my boyfriend went to spread the mayo on his burger, we were both pretty surprised when it started to melt. "I think that's butter" I said and started giggling. The boyfriend wasn't amused, but managed to wipe the butter off and get mayo to replace it. I normally steal his fries, but they were steak fries which I'm not a fan of.
I would go back if my boyfriend had another Jackson Hole burger craving, but there's probably a place that has turkey burgers that are just as good as their beef burgers.
Also, one of the waitresses looked so much like Diana B. that my boyfriend said, "bye Diana" under his breath as we left to see if she would respond.
This place produces the best burger I have ever had the fortune of feasting on.
Their burgers are huge, juicy, and tastey.
The infinite topping combinations are awe-inspiring. Guacamole burger, chilli burger, pizza burger, fried egg, ham, etc...
I love you Jackson Hole Burger.
If there is such a thing as a Burger-Only Diner, then this is it. On the upside, they do the burgers extremely well.
This list of burgers they have is simply amazing - lots of different kinds, and the chefs must be creative geniuses to come up with some of those combinations. I almost want to copy some of them down next time I go there (note: or just get them off the website - http://www.jacksonhole...). 7 oz of beef is a good size, too, for most people. And if you want more, order two, or check out the Raccoon Saloon in Marlboro, NY, where you can get a fabulous 12 oz burger for $10.
Specialty sandwiches all looked pretty good, too, but remember, this is a Burger Diner. Get a burger, unless you are a vegetarian or (God help us!) a vegan (in which case you should not even be in this place, like my friend Rob's vegan sister-in-law who gets visibly nauseous just seeing red meat). If you are one of them, get water. Tap. Nothing else, as surely some animal fat from the tons of meat around will have made its way into your food.
Beer selection was passable - decent, even, but nothing to write home about.
Place was crowded - be prepared to wait a bit. Longer if you have a large group, but it's probably worth it.
The beef patty alone was the side of my head, dripping on my hands and weakening the bun with its oozing meaty goodness. Don't upgrade to fries: Revel in the meat, let it destroy napkin upon napkin and take no mercy.
(The fries aren't that good, anyway)
I heard they use one cow per burger.
Mine had bacon on it.
Not the cow, the burger.
There was stuff on the walls.
I had 2 heart attacks and 3 bypass after that.
But what a burger!! It's one of those places that even if you are not a huge burger fan, you have to try... Food culture, you know. The only downtime, at lunch when very busy, they tend to shoosh you out the door, well they had to roll me out.
Burp
as said earlier - truly massive. low quality meat, flavorless, spare your time/cal
Jackson Hole Burger + Fries = A Man's Meal = Manly Satisfaction
The burgers are consistently good here. Not great, but pretty good. The burger itself isn't all that flavorful. I think this has to do with the way they cook them. They put the burger on the griddle and then put a metal bowl on top of it. I think this is because the burgers are so large that they would never cook all the way through without the help of steam. But steam + burgers = lack of flavor. I think that's why there are so many topping options.
The draw seems to be the massive portion size and the endless selection of toppings. I usually opt for the Santa Fe, which has cheddar cheese, guacamole and onions (get them fried).
A solid option if you've got a burger craving and are very hungry.
The best burger in... the world !!!
Burgers, burgers, burgers. The non-burger items are tasty here as well, but their reputation is built on the quality of their burgers. Fresh, homemade burgers. Ordered a turkey burger platter (don't remember the name), but it came loaded with mushrooms and onions. The onion rings here are especially delicious. Expect to put down at least $9/burger and $12/burger platter (= burger + fries).
Non-burger dishes are very good and worth trying if you aren't in the mood for burgers but your friends are. I recommend the Greek omelet.
I can't believe I ate that burger.
If you come to Jackson Hole, the only thing you should concentrate on is the burgers. They have a handful of different types of burgers, so you'll find one that suits your style, but hopefully you have room to put that burger.
I've been here twice, the first time I couldn't even think of finishing the burger, the second time I finished the burger but with a fork, since it fell apart after the 3rd bite.
The quality of the burgers are really good, if I came here often it would rank high on my burger chart, to me it is a couple of notches below Paul's burgers, but pretty close.
The decor here wants me to go watch A Fistful Of Dollars or something to that extent. Very western and Route 66 one might say.
The prices are pretty good, I can't complain getting a meal for roughly $13, especially one that will probably hold you over for several hours.
I would give Jackson Hole more visits, if I was around more, but that shouldn't stop you. This seems like a great place after some brews and you need something to soak up all that liquid bread. When you come here have an empty stomach, burgers on the mind, and a John Wayne movie.
Um.. the guacamole burger is awesome. I actually finished the whole burger which attest to how good it was. Guacamole, sour cream, and salsa on a burger is genius. GO for it!
I can honestly say that Jackson Hole is the best burger in town. Shake Shack is a joke compared to… Read more »
Like most Jackson Hole establishments, its really all about the burger variations ... at least for me. The menu at most Jackson Hole places are just glamorized diner food with a midwestern flair, but their burgers are to die for.
I've ordered delivery from this location many times and have encountered some very friendly service during the afternoon. Delivery is as fast and the delivery boys have all been very amiable. I have nothing but good things to say about this place ...except the bathrooms. Guess why I only order delivery?
High marks for trying hard and thinking big, but the beef want very tasty.
Steaming meat may make it juicy, but if the meat isn't flavorful, its just a soso burger.
I LOVE their burgers! Onions, bacon, cheese, and avocado on about two pounds of meat! With a side of onion rings and a cold beer!!!!! I don't care if I just gained 10 lbs, those are some dayum good burgers!
i am not a size queen. this burger joint is my proof:
yes, many topping options, crispy steak fries, platter includes lettuce, tomato and the aforementioned fries.
the reason for 3-stars:
- size is not everything.
- while i was impressed by the fresh (not canned) mushrooms, they were piled on so high, it all slid off the burger.
- the meat was a tasteful as cardboard.
- the patty was 1 1/2" + bun + lettuce = 2", each bite necessitated 2 attempts to grasp the full width of the burger
- in comparison to the patty, the sesame bun was meager, and soggy from the grease by the 3rd bite. grease sliding off burger down hand = not attractive.
- bathrooms not wheelchair accessible, and doors do not lock
i will try to salvage this place by reporting that it was ultra clean. tableside jukebox greaseless, and i observed the staff polishing the dessert case and overhang above the grill til it was spotless.
i came, got conquered, need not come back for more.
Enter the Jackson Hole,time for a few drinks, time for a burger that's about the size of your head, time for a nap..
