Best Burgers in Bushwick
Master Critic Review
Blue Collar
8.0
A neighborhood bar-and-kitchen that treats burgers like the main event: griddled, salt-forward, and built to pair with a pint without getting fussy. Come hungry, keep the order simple, and let the kitchen’s consistency do the work—especially if you’re here for a burger-and-fries night rather than a full menu crawl.

Cheeseburger, Double smash burger, Onion rings
