About Tallgrass Burger

Welcome to Tallgrass Burger. We served 100% grass-fed and grass-finished Black Angus and Kobe beef from New Zealand. Where cattle are free to roam acres of prairie land and aren't injected with hormones or antibiotics. the result is beef with less fat, less cholesterol, more vitamins and 25% more protein than the regular beef. And they're flavorful and tender.

A halal sign is visible and staff has confirmed the halal status. Great food and price is reasonable. I have been here a few times and have had good experience each time.

Got food delivered from here. I got the southwestern burger which was great. The sauce was a bit overpowering but the key was the burger. It was cooked perfectly. Will be frequenting this place from now on. One of the top burger spots in Manhattan. In my second visit I went to this location. Nice small place with seating for about 2 dozen. I had the regular burger. Tried to keep it no frills. Didn't disappoint the second time around either. Definitely one of the top burger locations in Manhattan.

I was at times square so took subway at 42nd St Port Authority train C that dropped at 14th St 8th Avenue and then took train L that dropped at 1st Avenue and restaurant is only a minute walk from there. I ordered Tallgrass (beef) burger with chicken wings and they were hot and superb in taste. The halal certificate of Alsalam Chicken from where they buy meat and chicken can be seen on the wall, however they need to post new certificate as it expired by 2015. The waiter repeatedly assured everything was halal and was friendly.

This is a nice place for NYU students living nearby and looking for halal food and even for people looking for halal burgers in Manhattan. Honestly, not the best or mind-blowing burgers you’ll ever have. But for pretty big portions, crunchy hot fries and onion rings, and pretty good burger, this place is awesome. I tried their wings, mac n cheese, buffalo fried chicken burger, and their meat burger. I also tried their garlic fries, sweet potato fries, and onion rings. Honestly all of them were really good but the man n cheese with the meat was not so much because the neat had a weird distinct flavor. Also, you should definitely try the sweet chili sauce with the fries and rings! Again, their portions are really big and it’s a great place for a nice filling lunch! The staff are very nice, patient, and fun to converse with! There are seating areas as well. It’s a place I went back to and would go to again.

Arrived to order lunch, first noticed it’s in need of some upgrades and looked run down. Service was attentive with taking my order quickly. Ordered The Half-Pounder Burger and The Classic Burger. Burgers were a little cold but cooked to the desired temperature. Overall I thought it tasted very average. They had a few different options for dipping sauces that tasted really good. I will not be back.

I’ve been coming to this establishment for the past two years, and while the service has always been hit or miss, the experience has recently gone downhill. The Hispanic gentleman at the front is always kind and welcoming, but the white gentleman working there has been consistently rude every single time. He clearly lacks basic customer service skills and makes the experience unpleasant. On top of that, the wait times have gotten ridiculously long, and the cleanliness of the restaurant is disappointing—ripped sofas everywhere and an overall lack of upkeep. It’s frustrating to see a place with potential being run so poorly. I hope management takes notice and makes some much-needed improvements, especially in training their staff on how to treat customers with respect.

? Best Burgers in NYC ? ? Tallgrass Burger 214 1st Ave., New York, NY 10009 ? Tallgrass Burger ? Fire Rock Burger ? Halal Double Burger ? Tallgrass Mac and cheese ? Garlic fries ? Sweet Potato fries ? Thai chili siracha 6pc wings ? Southwestern Chicken Salad ? Review: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ (5 out of 5 Stars) This simple American eatery serves grass-fed meat & veggie burgers, plus salads & chicken wings. The burgers are packed with flavor, quality, and everything is fresh. I really enjoyed the halal double burger. The customer service was exceptional. This is by far one of the best burger spots I have ever been to. Patrick was really friendly and made the experience amazing. He told me about how the restaurant started and why they choose Zabhiah halal. Definitely check this place out. As always don’t forget to say Bismillah and Alhamdulilah for everything.

We came here to eat on a Sunday night, the service was quick, we just waited 10 minutes for 3 different sandwiches. I got a chicken sandwich which was delicious and my fiancé got a Mac and cheese burger that was also very good. Highly recommend and we would definitely stop by again

Have been wanting to come here since forever. The cook on the wagyu/kobe beef burger was perfect. The crunch of the onion rings in the Tallgrass burger was crazy. The garlic fries were a flavor bomb. I normally can’t stand pickles so I was happy they put them on the side, but these were something else and really went well with the burgers. Easily some of the best halal burgers in the city. Did not disappoint. I actually want to come back and try some of their chicken sandwiches, like their chicken parmesan. I also appreciate they have alternative soda brands.

This was one of the best burger spots I’ve tried in the city. I got the wagyu beef burger and the patty was really thick and full of flavour. The garlic and masala fries are also very addicting. The meat is all halal and the people working there are very friendly. The one person who took our order helped us decide what to get based on our tastes. The fries were also I definitely want to come back soon and try it again.

Been coming here for 3 years now. Not once i had a bad experience. A truly local lovable place. Halal food Clean sitting and decent prices. EVERYTHING you can get is just perfect portions for a fun night out with family or friends. Tho not so big if you have more than 4 ppl but its doable due to the quality you get.
