LOVE the ROQUEFORT BURGER at Burger Heaven: Any other places make a great blue-cheese burger??

I think the roquefort burger at Burger Heaven is awesome!

Unfortunately, Burger Heaven (the Eastside chain) raised their prices significantly.

Anyplace else do a butt-kicking blue-cheese (though preferably roquefort) burger??

THANKS!

    Cedar Bar's standard burger is fantastic with bleu and bacon. Goes great with pitchers.

      If you're a blue-cheese maven you might like what Island Burgers and Shakes on 9th Ave. (bet 50 and 51st) does with them. Many reccommend it, but I found my Black & Blue too intensely blackened and blue'd. Definitely butt-kicking.

        Blue Smoke does a nice one.

          try the Blue Max burger at the Silver Swan (20th btwn Park & Bwy)

          it's hand formed burger with a slab of blue cheese, topped with crispy bacon on an english muffin. It usually comes with a side of roasted potatoes but i think ya kind get any side ya want

            Second this one, with an imported Black Lager on draft. Yum.

            The Spotted Pig has an terrific roquefort burger. You'll have to wait for a table - but it is good!!

              SMAN2: Is that the pub-like restaurant in the West Village? Wow, that place gets crowded!

                yes it is and yes it does. You will have a wait unless you go well off hours. But imo that's because it's one of the best new places in the City -- and they only serve one burger and it is reoquefort all the way!

                  Hint: Go on Sunday and plan to arrive at 2:00PM - not a bad wait, if at all, at that time. At least that's my experience over 4-5 trips.

                I'm with you sman2, their roquefort burger is stellar. I usually don't wait for a table, though--they offer the full menu at the bar. You'll get your beers much faster that way, too!

                It'll set you back at ~$16 a pop, though ...
