It was our first trip to NYC from the UK and we found this place online not far from our hotel. We didn't have a reservation but didn't have to wait long.

We are on holiday from the UK and this is first time we had eaten at Black Iron Burger. We are very happy with the quality of burger and the service from JC was excellent. He went out his way to be friendly, helpful and cheerful.
