Top 10 Grilled Burgers in NYC?
I think by not paying homage to JG Melons is just a crime these days.. I must also say a great under the radar burger is Jimbos Hamburger Place... 53rd and 54th and 1st avenue. its been there from my understanding since the late 70s

I don't know it they are griddled or grilled, but Pipers Kilt up in Inwood (one of three locations) has my gold standard for pub burgers. I just cant believe they haven't been written up here yet?

I don't know if they are grilled or griddled, but Pipers' Kilt in Inwood has by gold standardurger I have ever had.
And PFY PJ Clark's burgers are definately griddled, cause while I was eating oysters with my Guiness last week I peeked in the kitchen and saw a bunch of burgers lined-up and staying warm on the griddle. I just hope they don't sit there too long. 5 guys are griddled too.

I have hesitated for a very long time to mention my favorite burger in the city, but finally i realize, why not share the love? The burger at Cafe Loup on 13th street is phenomenal. It's huge, fantastic meat quality, and perfectly cooked. It's a classic burger, no fancy shit: subtle spice (just salt, I reckon); nothing but bloody, juicy meaty goodness. (And chedder if you're into that sort of thing.) Absolutely delicious. It is arguably "better" than all of these burgers, with the exception of Spotted Pig's. I mean, that's just the no-competition antichrist of burgers.

Thanks, Nick - It's about time Wollensky's Grill got involved in the top tier. It was always pretty good meat, but when they re-worked it a year or two ago it skyrocketed up on my list. The true test of a top burger is one that needs no ketchup - and, though I love ketchup, it would take away from WG's superior product.

I can't believe noone said PJ Clarkes yet. I think they are great, always perfectly cooked, nice roll, and fast.

No doubt: Burger Joint is tasty, but Dumont Burger is yums in my TUMS. totes worth it.

Good call on 67 Burger. I should have mentioned it considering I reviewed it last year. I have not had Market Table yet or Little Owl, both of which are in the running for best burger in NYC, not just best grilled burger.
@THE_ZARO I love Melon, it is one of my all time favs, but they griddle cook their beef:

Luger's are grilled and while many consider it excellent there are serious problems with the execution. Over and under cooking are a bit of a problem. (love the steaks however)

Really, really liked the burger at Union Square Cafe. Not sure it's grilled, though.
