Delivery Showdown: Goodburger Versus Stand

I tried blue9 burger too. I found it to be greasy, sloppy, and nasty, and the patty had what felt like a piece of gray bone in it. Not sure how our experiences could vary so widely, maybe it significantly deteriorates with delivery to the west-ish village.

I also live in greenwich village and get burgers delivered quite often. I'm not a fan of either stand or goodburger. Stand is tasty but overpriced and goodburger is simply not memorable in any way.

My favorite burger delivery is burger creations on eighth street. Very reasonably priced, and I like to get them topped with fresh jalapeno peppers. Decent fries.

My second favorite is the new york burger company on 21st street. A bit north for the village, but they deliver to me on seamlessweb. I don't actually buy their burgers, instead I get three miniburgers. Great beefy flavor and a nice choice of toppings. Skip the fries.

And of course I live closeby to Joe Jr on 6th ave, which as you know offers a fantastic diner-style flat top cheeseburger and great fries. You just need to be ready to order when you call, the phone guy is rude as hell.

I love the SBS Smackdown.

I have a question though - I get Goodburgers fairly regularly and at the one by me (43rd & 3rd), the cooked burgers are considerably smaller than what one would get from 7oz of raw meat. Does the one by you offer a choice of sizes? Because that would be awesome if they'd start doing it by me.

I did a side to side between GB and Zipps about a year ago. GB won that also.

@HeartofGlass: You know me well. I would totally be all over the rings. I suppose we could stretch AHT's mission to include a sides-only smackdown.

As far as Burger Creations goes, I've had it only once, with the intention of going back for follow-up visits for an eventual review. And the I dropped the ball. I did like what I tried when I went, though. I think we need to reopen the investigation.

I've noticed that many of the burger places you praise have mediocre fries with the exception of Five Guys. At some point, AHT should do a 'sides smack-down' of different types of fries and other hamburger accompaniments. I'm sure you could twist Adam's arm to do the onion rings ;)

I find if you are ordering a burger and fries from a place close to you (let's say 5-7 blocks, no farther) and you ask for the fries in a paper bag (not in something else and then in a bag, but JUST in a paper bag) the fries arrive still relatively warm and as crisp as they could be. For me, being crisp is more important than piping hot.

Is this going to be a regular feature? Or was this a one time thing? I think it would be neat to compare the delivery of different items.

Nice review, although you did yourself a disservice by getting not getting the toasted marshmallow shake from Stand.

Nick,

I'm thinking Blue 9 Burger has the best delivery burger in the neighborhood. Of course my clinical addiction to In n Out spawns a great bias in this case.

The shoestring fries from Stand remain decent after delivery, since they're thinner and crispier to begin with I think the packaging has less of a detrimental steaming effect on them. I prefer regular belgian-type fries to shoestring in general, but the shoestring may be a better bet for delivery.

I've eaten at/ got delivery from Stand a bunch of times (only the veggie burger or the salmon burger though). You are right - the fries suffer from delivery, but fresh are super delish.

They are pretty much equidistant to me, too (we must live around the corner from each other), so I've passed Goodburger a bunch of times but have never gotten food from them.

Bagel Barn on the corner of 12th Avenue and 65th Street in Brooklyn. It's a walk in or drive through place and the guys who work here make a perfect cup every time!

Abraco, for sure. I was there to sample some sweets, and the owner surprised me with a complimentary iced coffee--it was divine!

I go to Porto Rico Importing Co, 201 Bleecker Street. It's a great place for whole beans, of course, but they will also brew-up a cup of anything you want at the small cafe in back. Best, freshest selection around.

Cafe Zaiya at 69 Cooper Square. So many afternoon snack/cafe options.

I am awaiting the arrival of Joe on the UWS. In the meantime, I enjoy Jack's when we wander down to the Southport.
