    About the Business

    Whitmans Restaurant serves burgers and seasonal fare with a focus on fresh, local ingredients. Opened by native New Yorkers, the concept was born by friends whose vision was to provide the neighborhood with delicious comfort food in a cozy, intimate setting. The main attraction, modeled after the Minneapolis-originated phenomenon, the "Juicy Lucy," features two thin beef short rib blend patties pinched together encasing a scoop of pimento cheese, the result: a molten core of cheese oozing from the patty. Whitmans introduced their take on the cult burger in 2010 to rave reviews. In addition, Whitmans offers a vast array of specialty crafted burgers including The Hound, Spicy Patty, and The Mangold just to name a few. While we are known for our burgers, some of our other most popular items include our East Villi Cheesesteak, Veggie Burger, and Kale Salad.

      Solid lunch spot in the neighborhood. The fries are far superior to the tater tots. Lamb burger was really tasty, but did think it was bizarre that the cheese came on the side.

      You can skip the fried pickles and just order some more fries.

      The Bluicy with soggy undercooked bacon and no drink $42.
      I usually go to the restaurant and have always liked their burgers. This time I tried delivery and this is what came.

      Bluicy and fries. $42.

      I've got nothing but positive vibes for this joint! We've eaten inside and had delivery and I can promise you, they food is always great and consistent. Staff is friendly and chill!

      I get the Juicy Lucy (my fav) and their fries....oh their fries! You can add blue cheese "dressing" that is to DIE for!!!! Ask for extra ketchup if you do delivery!

      The food is legit and they do offer up some tasty beer/cider too!

      Four stars feels just about right for this spot. They have a lot of burger options and a really nice variety of sides (tots, fries, onion rings, sushito peppers, sweet potato fries). The burger felt like something I would eat in my house growing up, it isn't fancy but it gets the job done and hits the spot. Probably better for taking out than dining in. The dining room downstairs is a bit gloomy and overly quiet. I kind of felt like I was eating in someone's bomb shelter.

      Pretty solid burger. Not what i remember it being but itll suffice in a pinch. Calm no frills vibe, dont bring to impress, just for a low key dinner.

      Stopped in at Whitmans for lunch on a whim. We sat outside on a beautiful, sunny fall afternoon. Water was brought over right away and after spotting fried pickles on the menu, we knew we made a good choice.
      We started with the fried pickles and ordered 2 Diet Cokes. The Diet Cokes are served in a can at $3 a pop. We each ordered a burger, the veggie and the classic, and split an order of spicy brussel sprouts and fries. Everything was fantastic! The brussel sprouts had a nice kick and the fries were crunchy but soft. The burgers had a great sauce and were grilled to perfection. Definitely will be back to try the onion rings and some of their other burgers; there's a bunch to choose from. If you're in the area and looking for a quick bite to eat, stop and check out Whitmans!

      Heinous delivery. Unbelievable. How do you let the beef from the cheesesteak come outside the sandwich to the fries?
