The Burger Bar is located in the back part of the same building that houses Gallo's Restaurant. There is a separate entrance in the back and there is access to the seafood restaurant from inside the burger bar.I stopped in for a lunch with a coworker and beat the crowd, so we had our choice of seating. The small patio facing the parking lot seemed nice and private, there is also table and bar seating. The server was very nice and kept tabs on us. He highly recommended the Smokehouse Burger - Smoked, Bacon, Crispy Onion Strings, House Barbecue Sauce and Cheddar at $15. I believe he mentioned they are 8 oz. burgers and the menu states they are "fresh house ground certified angus chuck, hand pressed" and are served with a side of sea spuds (house fries seasoned with old bay).The tap list featured around a dozen different beers. They had a couple of craft handles. The wait was brutal. 30 minutes to get two burgers out was beyond annoying. I'm not sure what the staffing situation was, but the bar was almost empty and the restaurant was about a quarter full. (you walk by the seafood restaurant if you make a pit stop to the bathroom). When the burgers arrived they were pretty darn tasty. The flavors went well together and the burger itself was cooked to my liking. Juicy but not greasy drippy meat, decent bun, legit crispy onion strings (the store bought ones repeat on me these did not!) and tasty bacon. The bun and toppings held together well and didn't slide around. The waffle fries aka sea spuds were ok, seasoned well and the cheese sauce was a great companion to them. Overall, I'd return hoping that the wait we encountered was an anomaly. The server was very apologetic. In this area of Philly I'm not sure you'll find a much better burger!

the first couple of time we ate here the burgers were delicious. Not so anymore. After waiting almost 45 minutes for 2 burgers cooked medium, we were served two overdone burgers, so overdone that the bottoms of them were so burnt we had to cut that portion of the burger off. When the waitress finally came to ask us how everything was we had already been sitting for over an hour and didn't feel like waiting another 45 minutes for new burgers. In addition to that it is freezing cold in that room. We will never make the mistake of going there again.

The combination of not wanting to go too far and the intense craving for a burger led us to the Burger Bar last night for an early dinner. Surprised to see that they were checking vaccination cards and IDs as we have yet to go somewhere in the city that is actually following this mandate.As always the burgers were hand formed, meaty, fresh, juicy and filling. A perfect burger to satisfy that beefy craving. Service was on point and the place was clean. As always a pleasant experience.

Came in with my mom and sister for dinner and we were seated right away. We had a taste for burgers and my sister another Yelp Elite was raving about the Burger Bar. The service was really friendly and helpful and they checked on us often making sure we had enough napkins, and refills on our drinks. When it came to the burgers, they were huge! and so juicy and flavorful. I had a burger with bbq sauce on top, fronions and bacon, my mom had a burger that had shredded roast pork on top with mushrooms, onions and bbq sauce. The burgers were dripping and cooked perfectly. I would be coming back again because the food and service was great.

Not a bad spot. I was craving a good burger and this met our expectations. The Waffle Parmesan fries wasn't bad either. The lemonade wasn't too sweet or tart. Our server was pleasant, and the food came out farely quick. I even tried the Adult Bourbon milkshake. Very good. Pricing is reasonable for a "gourmet burger". Even had the option of eliminating the bun and serving your burger on lettuce. My only disappointment was the cleanliness. We came mid day where there was no customers but still was greeted with dirty seats and tables. Crumbs on the seats and stained tables gave us an initial bad 1st impression. The service and food made up for the lack of cleanliness. Maybe as it gets nicer, we'll eat outside next time.

If you're looking for really good food and tasty drinks at a reasonable price in NE Philly, I definitely recommend checking out Burger Bar. The honey soy salmon and the crispy chicken sandwich are favorites of mine. It's a pretty casual spot. They have an indoor space that is connected to Gallo's as well as a small outdoor patio for dining. Since the pandemic, they've also added extra outside seating under a large tented area.

Definitely hard to find and easy to miss if you are not familiar with the area!Burger Bar is connected with Gallo Seafood but does also have a separate entrance. I went for lunch and sat in their outdoor patio which is nice. The burger was good and the serving size was full filling. The service was adequate, I wouldn't mind going back for seconds

I stopped here with my party of 4 for a quick bite to eat while doing some Christmas shopping. We were seated as soon as we walked it since there were plenty tables available. Service was just ok, it would have been a little better if our server wasn't doubling as a bartender. He seemed a bit over worked juggling both sides. Rather than wait for our drink refills we opted on walking up to the bar instead of waiting on the server.The food was pretty good! I ordered the classic burger and the table shared fries and onion rings. The onion rings were excellent but the zesty onion ring sauce had a kick to it. I think they may have gone a bit overboard on the horseradish. My burger was really under cooked which was a bit of a turn off but it was juicy and did have a nice flavor. I would like to visit again to try some of their other apps & burgers.

It's a shame but the Burger Bar isn't what it used to be! I've been there 4 times in the past 6-9 months and EVERY TIME I order the cheeseburger medium, but it comes out MEDIUM WELL! Today my daughter and I went there for lunch and we were the only ones in there, well we were there for a total of almost 90 minutes! The last time I was there I got the fish tacos, and the fish was one big dried out chunk and the taco was crumbling when I picked it up! Even the fries aren't the same!

Used to be really good. We hadn't been there in awhile and were disappointed when we finally got back there--less in both food and service for higher prices. Has sadly gone downhill since the pandemic.
