Welcome to Pop Burger
About Pop Burger
When you are exploring the Meatpacking District and craving a satisfying American meal, Pop Burger offers a lively alternative to the typical New York City burger restaurant. Located at 60 9th Avenue, New York, NY 10011, this casual dining spot combines creative comfort food, an energetic atmosphere, and a convenient location near the neighborhood’s nightlife, shopping, and entertainment venues.
The burgers are the main attraction, especially when you prefer bold flavors and generous toppings. A juicy beef patty paired with melted gouda, sweet caramelized onions, and a soft brioche bun delivers a rich balance of savory, smoky, and slightly sweet notes. For the best experience, you should order your burger with the sweet potato fries. They arrive crisp on the outside and tender inside, making them a flavorful upgrade from standard fries. A serving of tangy house-made slaw can also help cut through the richness of the meat and cheese.
If you enjoy sampling several flavors instead of committing to one large entrée, the sliders are worth considering. You may find options ranging from spicy jalapeño combinations to milder herb-forward creations, making a slider selection ideal for sharing with friends. This is also a practical choice when you visit for drinks or want a lighter meal before exploring nearby bars and clubs.
The interior gives you an urban, upbeat setting without feeling overly formal. Neon lighting, comfortable seating, and energetic music create a relaxed environment that works well for casual dates, group dinners, or a late meal after sightseeing. The atmosphere can become busy during peak evening hours, so arriving earlier may help you secure a table and enjoy quicker service.
Drinks complement the food rather than feeling like an afterthought. You can choose from handcrafted milkshakes, including both non-alcoholic and adults-only versions, as well as a curated selection of craft beers. A thick shake pairs particularly well with a classic burger, while a crisp beer can balance heavier toppings and fried sides.
Service is generally described as friendly and attentive, which adds to the approachable dining experience. Prices are best suited to a casual-to-moderate New York City meal, especially when you add sides, drinks, or dessert. To finish on an indulgent note, consider the chocolate lava cake. Its warm exterior and rich molten center make it a satisfying dessert to share—or keep entirely for yourself.
Pop Burger is a strong choice when you want burgers in the Meatpacking District without the formality of an upscale restaurant. You get inventive flavors, shareable dishes, vibrant surroundings, and a menu that works equally well for a quick bite or a relaxed evening out.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — R.
I like this place! The chicken sandwich is excellently goopy, and I find myself craving it. The fries are excellent. Place has a nice high-tech design, and I like the hip-hop they blast. There's a pinball machine by the bathroom, downstairs! Only warnings are (1) they charge New York prices, which means a chicken sandwich is $9, and (2) unless you get there when they open, the place will be a pigsty.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Tammy Wu
This place serves tasty mini burgers-- two to an order, which is a reasonable quantity of food, but feels less glutinous than a 'normal' burger. It's a little gimmicky (aka 'hip') and overpriced, but it's a really good place for a late night snack. (Open to 2am Su-T, 4am W-R, 5am F-Sa) The fries are mediocre. They're thick and crispy, but have an outer shell of sorts. I like the onion rings, and I had an obsession with the strawberry shakes for awhile. As for atmosphere, there is also a bar area in the back that I have never been to, but this also means it's usually very LOUD.

Pop Burger in the Meatpacking District is perfect for a quick casual bite or a pre-drink lounge. They are known for their burgers which are quite tasty and a nice size. I find their Gobble Gobble (turkey) burger to be yummy as well. If you are not a meat fan, they offer an Invisible Burger, which is made of a gigantic portabella mushroom. Be careful because this is not the healthy option as it is totally fried. They also offer a few fried sides like onion rings and fries (fries are better). They are also popular for their thick shakes. Dine in in the front or head on back to the darker, trendier lounge. There you can sip cocktails of play a game of pool before the rest of your night out.

This popping place is always poppin on the weekends with locals and folks that take a bridge and a tunnel to get here in meatpacking! The burgers went up in price along with everything else a little bit but the food is tasty! Check it out on a late night.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Linda Nguyen
Sliders were decent, but $9 for two sliders? I guess that's NYC. The atmosphere in the backroom is great, not so much in the front area.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Jean Tamayo
This place was open late night and you are able to grab some food and drinks. The burgers and fries are more than Ok. The have a cool lounge/club inside.
