7th Street Burger in Hoboken
7th Street Burger is a burger joint that reminds me a bit of Corner Bistro with its minimalist menu that is composed of 4 options: cheeseburger, single or double, or Impossible burger, also single or double, except that Corner Bistro has more to offer when it comes to drinks. Still, this place that started in the East Village back in 2021 and has now more than 10 locations, decided to open one in the Mile Square City, just a few blocks from Shake Shack, that is quite courageous.

With a very minimalist decor to say the least, the place is not big with just a small counter near the entrance where you can stand to eat your burger. After you order, it takes approximately 7 minutes for your meal to be ready. I got their double cheeseburger with crispy fries. As I removed the food from the paper bag it came in, I definitely could feel that it was straight from the fryer (for the fries) and grill as it was very hot. The cheeseburger, made with American cheese, grilled onions, pickles and their secret sauce was wrapped in paper. Unwrapping it was a bit of a mess: the notion of smashed burger normally related to the patty, but, in this case, it was the entire burger, bun included, with the bottom of the bun being a bit soggy with all the sauce all over. Messy to eat, it was still good, the meat tasting really good and being perfectly cooked, but missing the char that I like to get at Shake Shack. For sure, I cannot complain about the amount of meat vs. bun as it was in favor of the latter and I loved the added crunch from the pickles that added a bit of acidity to it. The crispy fries were also good, and crispy as advertised, from the double frying.

Overall, it was good but I admit that if I wanted a smashed burger, I would go to Shake Shack as I prefer theirs and could also order a milkshake that is a must have for me with a cheeseburger. But this is my own preference…And by the way, do not try to find them on 7th and Washington: they are a bit lower, on 4th!
Enjoy (I still did)!
