This cash-only East Village eatery serves up giant, juicy burgers for cheap in a kitschy setting.

It's a burger joint. No frills. Basic burger joint. I've been wanting to try it cause I love burgers!!! The burger was hefty and satisfying. The steak fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. If you just crave a basic but hefty burger and fries. This place hits the spot.🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 Good fair prices. Cute friendly staff!!!!!
I liked this spot. It was chillin. I visited mainly because of HIMYM but I understand why it’s considered one of the best burger spots in the city. I ordered the veggie burger with mushrooms, peppers, pepper jack cheese, lettuce & tomatoes, no mayo. It was good. Only thing I suggest is to switch out the veggie burger for Beyond Meat. The burger they use to fall apart easily. But other than that, it was a good experience. I liked the ambience.
True and true, a solid very big burger is exactly what you’ll get at Paul’s, along with the best steak fries with just a hint of salt. It’s been here as long as I can remember. No frills, no big talk from the staff. They take your order, deliver it and let you enjoy. The place is truly authentic in decor, you would think it was a theme restaurant but it’s legit and original design. Take a fun photo outside with the bigger than life burgers.
