The idea behind Better Burger (178 Eighth Avenue at 19th Street and 565 Third Avenue at 37th Street) is burgers that are better for you and better tasting. Meat and poultry burgers are antibiotic, hormone, nitrate, and filler free; lower and fat than what they refer to as "the big boys."
On our visit we had a beef burger and a turkey burger. The beef burger was seemingly greasier than a "big boy" burger and otherwise a pretty average burger. The turkey burger was better than a typical turkey burger, which can sometimes have a not quite natural texture. We also sampled some of the organic condiments -- our favorites were the spicy wasabi sauce and karma ketchup. Better Burger's french fries have 2/3 less fat than regular fries thanks to air-baking -- if that's true, no complaints. We washed it all down with a very tasty and refreshing mango lemonade.
