Smash Burgers

7th Street Burger

East Village, Manhattan, NY 📍 Maps

7th Street Burger began in June 2021 when co-founder Kevin Rezvani, fresh off a previous restaurant venture and an Amazon delivery stint, maxed out his credit card to secure the East Village space during the pandemic. The brand's Lucky Cat logo is a nod to Rezvani's childhood, working in his grandfather's bakery in Japan, symbolizing good fortune and hustle. It's a no-frills, fast-casual spot that has become a go-to for a consistently delicious, simple burger experience.

★ The Legend
Double Cheeseburger
This is the quintessential smash burger that put 7th Street on the map, featuring two 100% fresh beef patties aggressively smashed onto a hot griddle to create a deeply caramelized, crispy crust while retaining a juicy interior. It's served simply with melted American cheese, sweet grilled onions, thick-cut pickles, and their signature house sauce on a perfectly toasted Martin's potato bun.
◆ Fan Favorite
Loaded Fries
These aren't just regular fries; they're a full experience, generously topped with chopped 100% all-beef burger, gooey melted American cheese, grilled onions, and a liberal drizzle of their addictive house sauce. Many regulars consider them an elevated, craveable take on classic cheese fries, often drawing comparisons to In-N-Out's Animal Style Fries.
● Chef's Pick
House Sauce
Co-founder Kevin Rezvani has explicitly cited this 'secret sauce' as a key ingredient in the brand's viral success and the reason people keep coming back. It's a creamy, tangy blend of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, garlic powder, and paprika that ties all the burger's elements together and makes the Loaded Fries so addictive.
Insider Tip

Don't make the mistake of waiting until peak dinner rush or late-night to order, especially at the original East Village location, as lines can be long and seating is limited. Instead, consider ordering ahead for pickup or visiting during off-peak hours to enjoy your burger fresh and hot. The 'wrap and hold' method they use helps the burger steam in its own juices, making it travel surprisingly well if you do opt for takeout.
