For some reason the summer always puts me in the mood for a good burger.

---

So this week I started my summer burger tour checking out some of the best burger joints in New York City.

---

---

The first stop on my burger tour is Harlem’s own Harlem Burger Co.

---

---

Located on the bustling West Side of Harlem,the owners of this establishment saw a need for a burger place on this side of town.

---

“Alper “Uyanik said the neighborhood wasn’t only in need of good burgers, but of restaurants that weren’t full-service.”

---

INDOOR DECOR

---

INDOOR/OUTDOOR SEATING AREAS

---

“Especially on Frederick Douglas [Boulevard], you didn’t have a walk in, walk out restaurant,”

---

---

“To give the restaurant some Harlem flare, they hired local graffiti artist Rammer Martínez Sánchez to add urban design elements to the space, including its logo.”

---

---

Now let’s talk Food & Drinks

---

---

First I started off with one of their fountain sodas.I went with the Root Beer flavor.

Boylan Cane Sugar Hand-Crafted Fountain Sodas
16 oz.

---

---

I must say my Root Beer soda was actual really really good.I had never heard of this Boylan brand before but needless to say I am now a fan for sure!

---

Everything on the menu just looked so good I was having trouble deciding.

---

---

So I ordered a few dishes, some to have while I was there for lunch.

While the others dishes I took home to have for my dinner.

---

For lunch I had the El Barrio Burger and Hand Cut Fries.

---

El Barrio-Oaxaca, guacamole, tortilla, lettuce, jalapeño. All natural beef and turkey. All beef burgers are cooked at medium, unless specified to well done.

---

---

Indeed I made the right burger choice, it was absolutely delicious.Juicy full of flavor and spicy just how I like it!

---

Hand Cut Fries–

---

---

Conversely my fries were made to perfection and the Truffle Mayo was a nice addition.

---

---

Meanwhile for dinner I went with their Wings & Spicy Portabella Mac & Cheese.

---

Wings-Sniper (Hot)

---

---

---

Later that evening I popped my dinner into the toaster oven using my trusty pan.

---

Absolutely delicious the chicken wings were crispy and well done and well seasoned. But the Spicy Portabella Truffle Mac & Cheese is next level good!

---

Last but not least I had the Ricotta Zeppoli for my dessert.

---

Again the dessert was another hit for me,sweet and creamy simply delicious.

---

Without a doubt I would recommend Harlem Burger Co.

---

They obviously take serving good quality food very serious.

And I am here for it!
