Corner Bistro, the last of the bohemian bars in West Greenwich Village, has been serving customers since the earlier part of this century. The original ambience is pretty much unchanged, and we like to keep it that way.

THE BEST BURGER.  5 Star Rating - World class

The best burger in NYC. And its cheap. The best fries. The best beer (McSorelys Ale for 3 bucks a mug.) And the best bartenders. You wait in line for a table here, no lists allowed. But beware, it gets super crazy from 7pm-11pm. Its so worth the wait. And on line you could probably meet someone to date. I recommend the bistro burger.

Great burger  4 Star Rating - Very good

Great place to eat. Old place, they must be doing something right. Great burger, good price, and cheap beer. Cant beat that right. Avoid lunch and dinner times, as you will surely have to wait in line.

Amazing burgers  5 Star Rating - World class

Tucked away in a corner of the West Village is one of the best burger places in New York. Huge burgers, great fries, ridiculously cheap beer, and it's open until very late at night for those post-party munchies. Gets crowded most nights, but it's worth it, and you can always eat at the bar

PROS: amazingly cheap, great food
CONS: crowded, long waits for a table

great burger, get there early 4 Star Rating - Very good

As long as you don't have to wait for it, you won't be disappointed by the Corner Bistro burger. To avoid waiting, show up before 6pm. There's just something about the simple white-bread bun, the airy patty and the messy toppings that makes you sink into burger bliss.

Good but not the Best Burger 4 Star Rating - Very good

I'll echo most sentiments here - nice, thick burger that comes out quickly - mine was medium well although I asked for medium rare...could have used more salt, cheap buns, and it's a little smelly (like urinal/stale beer smell). The place looks/is more like a bar than a burger joint. Good burger but not going out of my way again- better burgers in order are:

(1) Chelsea Grill (bigger more seasoned burger, cooked to perfection with better fries and better atmosphere)
(2) Island Burgers - smaller but thicker -again, cooked to perfection and 1,000 topping suggestions - no fries though.
(3) Le Parker Meridian - secret hotel burger - lines and not a great value (thin burger).
(4) Burger place in Madison Sq Park - lines are ridiculous - thin but flavorful patty

I haven't tried Paul's in East Village but it's next on my list.

Pros: Good but not great burger
Cons: Mild seasoning (salt), lack of consistency, cheap buns, smelly place

Great Burgers 5 Star Rating - World class

Great burgers, cold beer, weekdays are better for quick seating. The later you get there the longer you wil be standing staring jealously at everyone eating their burgers.

Best Burger in NYC! 5 Star Rating - World class

Been to Corner Bistro about a dozen times and every time it is the best burger experience I've ever had. I've brought many different people and the all come away with the same comment - that's the best burger I've ever had... The lines are long if you get there after 6 PM but the wait is worth it, especially with a nice McSorely's to pass the time.

Pros: Simple menu
Cons: Long waits

Best burger joint around in NYC!!! 5 Star Rating - World class

Although a small and crowded dive, the burgers are to DIE for. The bacon cheeseburger has some generous strips of thick bacon, and the fries are awesome! Nice thick burger...you are sure to leave FULL after only spending a couple of bucks. They don't take credit cards though, but there's an ATM machine in there.

Pros: Cheap eats, hugely filling...but best of all...GOOD!!!
Cons: None really comes to mind.
