2009 Readers’ Poll: Best Fast Food Hamburger
It’s time for the 3rd Annual Midtown Lunch Readers’ Poll. Your nominations are in, and between now and the end of the year I’ll be asking all of you to vote for the best Midtown Lunches in a whole range of categories. You can only vote once per category (so choose wisely), and official results will be posted after the new year.
Let’s kick this thing off with a big one, shall we? Best burger. With a full year under its belt, did Five Guys do enough to overtake perennial favorite, the Burger Joint? Can the deep fried awesomeness of the schnitzel burger overcome the fact that you can only eat it once a month (at most.) Whichever spot wins, one thing is for sure… now that the Shake Shack is on its way, this could be the last year this award is up for grabs. The nominees are:
- Burger Joint at the Parker Meridien (on 56th btw. 6+7th)
- Carnegie John’s Cart (on 56th & 7th Ave.)
- Five Guys (Multiple Locations)
- Goodburger (Multiple Locations)
- Schnitzel & Things (Multiple Locations)
Vote for your favorite after the jump…

Odd. I’ve had all of them. The schnitz is the only one of them that left a lasting impression on me. The rest are slightly better than mcdonalds.

Correction, CJ’s also left a lasting impression, but I prefer schnitz over CJ.
That said, I think I should campaign to get some interest in the Kosher Oasis burger as well. I had one today. It may be a bit pricy ($6 for just a burger), but it was freakin tasty.

Agreed. The only lasting impression I had from burgerjoint or 5guys was “overrated”.

5 guys is underrated?!
I vote for Hillstone, which kicks all of their asses collectively!
