“Good but not #1 worthy”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed July 26, 2012 via mobile

We had to see what all the hype about this place was.

I have no qualms about eating at a hole in the wall place but this IN FACT is a hole in the wall. It is tucked away in a corner next to a motorcycle repair shop. You might even miss it if it weren't for the giant Coca-Cola tent.

My husband and I both ordered burgers and fries. The burgers were cooked to order along with frozen type French fries. I'm not saying it was awful. It was a burger. Nothing special. Nothing that I'd really remember other than it cured my hunger pains. Our meal including drinks set us back about $17 usd.

The owner was nice but not overly friendly. She was too busy taking care of her screaming, bratty little boy. Not the warm cozy atmosphere I'd read about.

In a nutshell, not impressed, not awful, don't eat hamburgers in Costa Rica. Expand your palate and try something new.

“Don't get the hype”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 19, 2012 via mobile

My wife and I are bewildered how this place could be rated #1 restaraunt in La Fortuna. We ordered two chicken burgers and a plate of nachos. Neither of which were that good and were small in size. The place wasn't cheap either and we didn't get what we paid for as far as value goes. Many better options out there. Avoid.

“Nearly Perfect.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 18, 2012

You MUST eat here. Period. Unbelievable burger. Incredible nachos, and no word of a lie: Perfect fries. The last fry I ate was as crispy and delicious as the first.

John, the owner has a grin the whole time. As I sat down to wait for my food in the quaint parking lot, John rolled up in his truck with two giant bags of burger buns.

If you're lucky you'll meet John and his wife's lady killer of a 6 year old. This kid can steal your girlfriend. He also likes to push his dirty hair into your face and body. Be careful, way too cute.

I don't care what other places you want to eat at, make sure you eat here.

“Disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 15, 2012

The place is just as described by other reviewers: small, pick-nick tables, hard to find, etc. But the food is not even close to be a #1. I'm not sure if our selection was not the most appropriate, we had nachos, that didn't taste well and were a little bit cold, and a chilli hamburger that was so so. The drinks were fine and the service very friendly, but definitely there are better restaurants in the area.

“Best in La Fortuna!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 14, 2012

Simply the BEST in the area. Not much good eating in town. But we found the NY Grill and we were so happy to find this place. Great food, great people, great service! Such nice folks that took so good care of us we felt like family. Visited them 2 times in our 3 days in town since we found tasty treats at fair prices. A must stop while in town. Enjoy!
