Dear Burger Boy,

Some claim JG Melons to be an Upper East Side institution while
others claim that it is place where UES preppies gather to discuss
stocks, New England lacrosse, or to simply talk about their favorite
subject: themselves. I’ll say it’s a combination of both. And nothing
against stocks, New England lacrosse or talking about yourself…
In any case, one thing is for sure; the burgers (and fries) are
incredible. As the burger boy mentioned, fries must be added with a
burger (or two if you’re shameless like me). If you don’t get an order
of fries you’re stupid. Sorry. It’s not like your trying to cut
calories. I mean you’re at a burger joint for crying out loud.
Service is mediocre, and I’m not knocking the wait staff here. The
place just gets crowded especially after work. If you decide to go for
lunch or dinner during the weekend, good luck. Just hope you’re with
the Burger Boy so you get seated before the place closes.

I don’t know that there is much to add here Shingo.  You pretty much hit the nail right on the head.  The burgers are classic, simple but delicious.  The fries are unique but unreal at the same time and a side not to be passed up (unless you are stupid, like you said).  The only thing that would be foolish is to not check this place out for yourself.  Certainly one of the best places going on the UES and one of the top joints in  Manhattan.

PS- Don’t mess with Shingo…the dude sounds like he knows his burgers.
