Review from Melissa L.

3.5 stars.
I have been there 3 times now cause we bought a few vouchers.
Each time I had a burger with Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo/ketchup as well as fries on the side.
Once I also had a coffee.
The burger is not bad - if you tell them to grill the patty until well done.
The first 2 times I got their default version which is medium-rare and it was just lacking a lot of flavor.
Finally the last time I ordered it well done and it was so much better!
They get a few points for the variety of their toppings.
I prefer the standard cheeseburger, but for those who like it a bit special this will be a plus for sure.
The fries are great. They are New York Fries.. Do I need to say more?
Their coffee on the other hand totally sucks.
I got stomach cramps half way through the cup. Definitely not recommended. Stick with water.Listed in: Deal or No Deal?, Meat!

If I was stranded somewhere and there was no other burger joint nearby then I would force myself to go into South St Burger and get one.
The only thing South Burger has that's exciting are the Numerous Toppings that you can put on your burger
Chicken Burger was very Blah.................
Beef Burger was So So........
Side Salad was stale at the bottom
New York Fries were nothing to rave about
I will not be going back to this joint anytime soon -

Love, love, love South St.! Their burgers are great, made with beef that is hormone & antibiotic free. They have a great selection of toppings that you won't find at any other burger joint - zesty ketchup, cajun onions, mango chutney, wasabi mayo...
The fries, of course, are great considering South St. is part of the New York Fries group. The onion rings are made with red onions, which give them a different flavour from the norm. -

Three & a half stars.
What a delight to meet up with fellow Yelper Carolyn "Don't touch my chocolate or I'm gonna have to kill you" B. and her lovely daughters. We met for lunch at the South St. Burger Co. Check another one off the My Decemburger list.
Basically SSB. is an expansion of NY Fries. My first impression is that it is like an upscale version of Harvey's. Their claim to what sets them apart from everyone else is a really wide range of toppings that is included in the cost of the burger. Ok, this morning I struggled trying to pick out a pair of socks to wear let alone chose between 4 different kinds of mustard/mayonnaise or three different type of ketchup for a hamburger. Even the bun is a choice, white or whole wheat.
Add on costs are the usual suspects, cheese, bacon, sauteed mushrooms etc. I opted for goat's cheese. I ordered up the combo and had the side of fries and this set me back about $11 bucks. The burger itself was pretty tasty. Note to self; when you load up on the condiments the bun gets super soggy.
For a place that is based on fries these spuds in a cup are average. I like my fries dry, not oily or shiny, which these were. They do not offer up sweet potato fries on the menu. I did try the rings and they were fairly decent. SSB uses red onions and these rings are not those pre-battered, pre-cooked type. While I like rings my arteries can handle about two of them and I'm done.
In the end, I'd say that SSB is in the middle of the patty pack. Way better than Hero, Acme and especially Lick's (bleech) but not quite up to the standard of Gourmet Burger or the Burger Bar.
It's another notch on my Decemburger list. Someone pass me the tums please.Listed in: My Decemburger!

Burgers a just okay but love the unique toppings. I come for the fries and gravy - takes me back to high school and hanging out at the mall. Don't forget to order your gravy.

New York Fries has opened up a great burger place - the story goes they searched high and low for all the things that make a great burger - and I'd say they did a great job. The buns and burgers are really good, but its the condiments that really make it for me - my favorite is the spicy ketchup and honey mustard. Its a little expensive, but probably no more so than any of the competitors in this space. Yummy, and the fries are of course pretty good!
