What people say, in short
Brindle Room in the East Village earns strong recommendations for a juicy, thicker tavern-style burger, with caramelized onions praised by one diner. Commenters also call it underrated or overlooked. There is dissent: one visitor found the burger too rare and small, while another thought it was less good after the restaurant reopened. That decline is one diner's assessment, not an established trend.
