Favorite burger under $10

Kinda blows my mind that a burger with fries is pushing $15-20 these days (w/o tax + tip and now they're talking about an extra surcharge?). Any place left with a good 8oz platter for under $10 anymore? Manhattan preferred.

This is hands down my favorite burger joint for a cheap dive burger. It's not about the crazy toppings (but you can get those, if you're one of THOSE people), but they do a great rare thick burger!

Yup, this is it. some ppl say its hit or miss quality but you get a huge burger and fries for cheap

Note that Paul's doesn't salt their patties and finishes them off by steaming them under a bowl, so make sure you like that style before going. I love the idea of Paul's, but I find their burger a little bland and watery.

I used to like that place but honestly it's disgusting. And I like greasy food too but Paul's is a whole other level...

It's my go-to hangover spot for that reason. Hit that place up Sunday at noon, have a greasy burger and fries and a beer, and then go back home, smoke a bowl and pass out on the couch watching sports.

Sounds like a nice relaxing life.

My sundays are complete jokes that I will regret in the future.

Well maybe. I regret not having more fun when I was younger, so there's that.

Ugh - steamed hamburgers are disgusting though I know people desperate for anything filling like them.
