Island serves a SERIOUSLY GREAT hamburger. I've had take out from there 4 times now since I first stopped by two weeks ago (always the ""people's choice"" burger) and it's been better than perfect each time. The service is attentive and friendly and the burgers are swoon worthy. I've always ordered medium rare and they come just as they should - fat, slightly charred on the outside and very pink and juicy at the center. A co-worker of mine has had a couple of burgers from Island ordered well done and thought they were TOO done, so you should probably keep that in mind. As for me, I've never had a better burger in NYC at any price.
Pros: The food, Crazy inexpensive, THE FOOD!
Cons: can be crowded, occ long takeout wait, no fries
