Tiny rustic lunch spot with claims of having invented the hamburger, which it still serves on toast.

I’ve been wanting to come here since I heard about it a few years ago. While in New Haven recently, I got the chance. Meter parking and a lot are available. There’s really not much to review. There’s a lot of fascinating history and nostalgia which makes it very cool. Very limited menu which makes ordering easy. Is it the best burger in the world? Clearly not, but it’s good and inexpensive. Cooked right in front of you. They have been around for over 100 years doing it their way. If you have an issue not being able to dictate how things should be done, you probably shouldn’t go. There’s a line of people waiting behind you that don’t care.

This is one of those “must see” places in New Haven, as it is the original hamburger sandwich. The burger itself was delicious, once we finally got them. I know they were busy, but it took almost an hour to get our two burgers. It may help if they took phone numbers and just texted when the burger was ready so we didn’t have to keep checking back. We ate pizzas across the street while we waited for our burgers, and were finished eating before the burgers were ready. But they were good, so I guess it was worth the wait to have the experience .

After exploring the Yale University.. we stopped by The oldest hamburgers restaurants in the United State . Love the idea of slice bread instead of buns. The burger tastes amazing!! Enjoy the every single bite.

Eating here is like being in a time machine! At over 120 years old, this restaurant has claim to the first ever documented hamburger in America! It was a marvelous experience, eating their famous hamburger exactly how it was over over a century ago. Beefy, juicy, simple… perfect. I’ll never forget this one.

The burger was simple and delicious. I was a bit skeptical to try it but seeing that it is highly popular (and admittedly, slightly deterred by the long lines) we gave it a go. We are so glad we tried it because the burger (with cheese, tomato and onions) was amazing – simple, well-cooked and a good portion size. The potato salad was another thing you cannot miss if you come here. Overall, amazing food/service/people/atmosphere. Would come here again in a heartbeat. We waited about 50 minutes for our burger for 2 in the middle of lunch hour.

I have to apologize to the owners for not believing the burgers would be good based on two things: the videos and pics of how the burgers are made and the comments from other people watching the same videos. I honestly thought the burgers would be dry, but to our pleasant surprise, they were very juicy! And they must use good quality meat because the taste of the beef was great. I enjoy a medium or medium rare burger, and this was great. They are right to not allow condiments, the taste of the seasoned burger is enough. Wait time at lunch time was understandably long, but the wait was worth it. The owners were very nice while taking our order. And we chatted a bit with one of the workers who seems to be a local legend! He had great stories about his days as a bouncer. Highly recommend this place for a unique burger experience.

Simple yet delicious! Get the cheeseburger with tomatoes and onion. No condiments available so don’t ask.
