Mikey's Burger on Ludlow

[Scott_R]

After a show at the Living Room, I was walking down Ludlow, when I passed by this place, a little pocket of a place on the east side of the street. On an impulse, I stopped in.

The menu is as small as the place:

(I didn't find an official site).

I bought "The Mikey" burger and ate it as I walked to the subway.

And a pretty splendid burger it was, plenty juicy and tasty; I made full use of the napkins I had.

Finally made it back there last month (yes, it's been that long) and had a duck burger, with a sort of plum sauce on it (or so my flaky memory recalls). Not sweet, which (to me) is a GOOD thing; very good, overall. Wish I could get here more often.

Also not a burger connoisseur but I thought the burger was tasty. Fries were good too (ate in the restaurant).

I am by no means a burger connoisseur, but I tried Mikey's tonight and really enjoyed it.

I ordered the BLT burger with cheese, which is a hamburger with chinese bacon, kewpie mayo, lettuce and tomato. The burger itself was juicy and flavorful on its own. But the bacon and kewpie made it a little different than just your average burger. The flavors all worked together very nicely - and the lettuce and tomato were crisp and bright and fresh.

The fires are thin cut with the skin on, and in my opinion, salted to perfection. They were a little soggy, but I did take out - so I'm thinking they make have gotten a little soggy on during the walk home.

Is this is the space that was Rush Hour Burgers, or a competitor?

it was the place that rush hour was at

been meaning to try it since its super close to where i live, but its another michael hyunh restaurant, so my expectations are low and ive been lagging

Thanks! Can you compare it to other burgers around town (burger joint, Shake Shack, etc)?

Mikey's Burger is owned by the same guy who does all the Baoguettes, Bia Garden, O BAO, etc.

Sorry, I'm a Long Islander who hasn't made it into the city much in the last few years. It was good enough that I wish I could have sat down and better enjoyed it.
