A classic tavern: During the day, delivery people on lunch break share space at the bar with smartly dressed neighborhood professionals. To avoid an overcrowded back room packed with baseball hat-wearing Village rovers, come early, while the sun is still streaming through the dusty windows. Besides cold beer and a full bar, the Bistro keeps its options simple. The burger--small, juicy and incredibly messy--is the best in the neighborhood and certainly among the very best in the city. Other options on the Spartan menu include chili, a BLT and a wonderfully marinated, jaw-stretching grilled chicken sandwich. Fries are always crisp and tasty.

I have eaten at the top 5
By Jrivers2911 on 07/02/2008
Corner Bistro is number 1 on my list. I am a Burger lover from Omaha steak burgers to the local diner. Island Burgers should be 2nd on the list with Corner Bistro's first. I could do without the fries at Corner bistros Mcdonalds still has the best fries. But there Corner Bistros burgers are second to none. I also want to add that I have eaten a burger at everyone of the top 5 on this list.
