I had one of the best service and food experiences. The waiter and the manager were excellent in addressing all requests. The burgers were exceptional. Definitely coming back 😊

Celebrated our bro last night at Prime Bgr, near the New Haven green. The restaurant has become our go to place instead of Pepe's, when we are in New Haven! Great angus beef burgers with sauces that are beyond compare! Super Tuscan wine and custom made drinks! Many thanks to Laura for her event planning and Carmen for taking care of us. #primebgr

Just had an amazing burger here, had the bad guys smash burger. First time in a long time I’ve been happy to pay $30 for a burger. Incredibly juicy and greasy (in all the right ways). Fries were a little salty to my liking but I also don’t care for a lot of salt on my fries. If I’m in the area again I’m 100% stopping by

An amazing experience start to finish! Chef and owner Joseph Hamboussi is a consummate professional who welcomes patrons to his restaurant as if inviting them to his home. The Belgium Bierhaus Burger stands out as one of the most memorable burgers I’ve ever had, cooked to juicy perfection. The Belgian Waffle and Fried Chicken starter could have been a whole meal in itself. I was initially skeptical of the taste pairing for that dish but was won over bite after delicious bite. Our only regret: No room for dessert! But we’ll be back.

We stopped by for lunch and had the best hamburgers that we have ever eaten. The french fries were unbelievable and were perfectly cooked. The hamburgers were very flavorful. The atmosphere was incredible and the wait staff did an amazing job. Joseph, the owner, came out and spoke with us, and we told him that these were the best hamburgers we ever had. If you love hamburgers, then this is a destination location for you. The food is that good! You will not be disappointed!!!

Brisket burger was fantastic. Service was excellent. I met the owner and made sure I told him how good the burger was. I may even go back again today to eat while I'm in New Haven!
