Two Brooklyn Burger Joints Open Today
We’re kicking off the weekend with a double dose of burger openings in Downtown Brooklyn. First is Jake’s Wayback, the Connecticut-based chain covered here before. Fork in the Road writes, “[Jake’s] claims to serve ‘big, juicy hand-made burgers and real milkshakes,’ much like Shake Shack, which, according to Google Maps, is 0.1 miles from Jake’s.”…

The company is planning 12 more stores in Brooklyn over the next two years.
Yeah, but who’s eating just once slice of plain pizza? If you get two with toppings, that puts you at $6-7.
I wish there were more burrito joints in Brooklyn. The best ones are in Manhattan and tend to be horribly overpriced. Their cheap little brother, the taco seems to be more priced accordingly, often coming in at around 2 to 2.50.
Burgers are meh. They are fairly unhealthy, and often push up into the 8 and 9 dollar range of purchases. That’s well above the usual 2.75 slice of pizza. (often what I see as the standard price in Manahat and Brooklyn too)
chain burger = mediocre burger.
The burger is the burrito of New York. Too bad, since burritos are potentially so much healthier. But burgers are practically the only affordable food in NYC.
Gonna need a new hospital with the clogged arteries and all from all this greasy fries and road kill!
g man, agreed…. and Smash Burger not open yet
i was thinking just top six but should be an ‘open’ competition
Ha – Montrose, good thing you-know-who isn’t here to call you a you-know-what!
chris, looks like we’re gonna have to wait a bit for the burger smackdown. Shake Shack has only begun demo on its new space.
Wow, we live in wondrous time, indeed!
