replying to u/kpteasdale: Yes, Brindle Room is the answer.
“Brindle room was fine. Not a burger to go out of your way for. Mine was under cooked and too mushy raw in the middle. Seemed a bit small for a $21 burger.”

replying to u/Neat_Panda9617: The Minetta burger is fantastic! Maybe the funky taste described was due to it's being such good quality beef? Grass-fed and aged beef has a richer taste than regular old grocery store meat.
“Brindle Room in East Village is similar but smaller burger - there's an old video of them describing how they use deckle fat - the uncooked patty is almost white. ...but its delicious.”

in:Lord’s vs Red Hook Tavern10 pts
replying to u/officerfarvasrevenge: I just had Red Hook for the first time, funny enough these are my top 2 burgers in the city. I definitely still have Lords as my #1 though. The combo of their cheese and whatever they do with their onions is unbeatable. However, I do put Red Hook as a restaurant above Lords and could honestly be my favorite restaurant in the city.
“I’d recommend brindle room and white horse tavern - both „tavern style“ burgers, executed pretty well”

replying to u/themooseexperience: They closed and reopened with a totally new vibe a few years ago FYI. The burger is still on the menu, but isn’t nearly as good imo. Such a bummer.
“Ehh burger is nearly as good and the vibe is almost the same lol. Looks almost identical in there actually besides the extra room now. Still worth a visit”

replying to u/jrdz: Brindle Room should be included. Rolo's is also mentioned here a lot, but I went recently and thought it was very lackluster for the limited availability.

replying to u/Red__dead: Brindle Room, Hawksmoor, Raoul's, Cozy Royale, and Nowon are also great for this type of burger - medium rare naturally! I will always go for these over the smashburger style currently sweeping TikTok...

replying to u/danram207: Brindle room fell off
“Not just fell off but completely "reimagined" after the owner got into business with a new partner. The burger is clearly an homage, but not something they're passionate about serving anymore. Such a bummer.”

in:Solo diner review of Minetta Tavern2 pts
replying to u/personaljournal325: I went to minetta tavern today as well and the burger was definitely off. Super overcooked and very underseasoned. Rough day for the kitchen I guess, but I can't just keep pissing away 38 dollars + tax/tip for the chance at a good burger. I am currently ride or die for cozy royale's dry aged burger

replying to u/gsbound: What do you think is fairly priced? I actually think Minetta Tavern is very cheap. They currently have squab pithivier for $42 and Dover sole $46. I’ve gone three times already for the squab pithivier. Le Gratin had one in November for like $65. It was slightly better but also more than $20 more.
“JG Melon and Brindle Room have better burgers that are like 50% of the cost of Minetta Tavern’s.”
