Burger Box - Village of New Paltz

New Paltz life time localBeen here 4 times since they've opened. The reviews on the food quality are all on point the food is amazing but every time we have ever been here we have been left with an hour or more wait whether we order ahead for pick up or not. It is excusable in a business to be running behind during high traffic hours and in their first year or so of business but after several years there is no reason that I call ahead get told 20 min show up 5 min late to a building with almost no customers in it and have to wait for another 30-40 min. I highly recommend the food but don't go there if your hungry

Food: delicious, well worth the wait. Don't come too hungry because it may take an hour+ from sitting down to eating your food. We were chomping at the bit by the time it all came out. Really fantastic burgers and fries, and a nice selection of cold drinks. A few hot drink options but it's certainly no café.Service: the waitstaff is always moving around and busy and they do come check on you when they can. They were really pleasant regardless of the crazy running around and I felt taken care of.Atmosphere: Place is cozy, small, and comfortable. Dark (black) and wood are the main colors in the restaurant so it makes all the colorful things like people's clothes really pop. Noise level is about average town diner to loud. It does have a sit down bar with sports on a screen. It's probably best that you don't come with more than a group of 4 people. Solo is fine too if you're coming through alone.Oh also this picture is one of the bathroom toilet roll holders and it's great so I gotta share.Vegetarian options: So at the top of the burger section, it shows that you can pick your protein. Beef, impossible burger, beans, veggies, chicken, turkey.Otherwise, they do serve salad and fries and fried cauliflower (which are like chicken nuggets but veggie) and some other stuff that's non-meat. Basically, you'll not go hungry if you're vegetarian.Parking: Paid street or free lot behind the building, or the paid lot down behind the Starbucks nearby. It's main street in New Paltz, so it's always a little tricky to park if you're not from the area.

Not open Mondays hours wrong on yelp. Drove out of our way here. Disappointed heard good things locally.

We decided to walk-in at this place as we see that it was half empty. The moment we were settled in, lots of people were started coming in. We were wrong on what we thought, we probably came on the right time.It's a cute burger place in town. The decoration is pretty neat. I noticed that it is college students favorite joint. We felt old and the same time felt young at heart. My burger is pretty good. I had the garlic rosemary and loved how they did my meat. Though I told how I want it seemed like they have set way of doing it because my friends did not tell the server how they wanted it. The brioche bread was grilled, a plus for that. My smoked salad was a perfect match to my burger. pOne of my friends ordered the frachos out of curiosity. Potato is wider and bigger over the regular fries , all tasted good. We did not imagine a variety of choices for beer and drinks. The place is small but offered huge happiness . I got a root beer float and never been happier on how it was made. Pricing is modest and reasonable. This a good spot to be whenever you are in the area.

We've only been here a twice, but just love it. The food is so good! I get excited to eat here, especially after hiking. Great flavors, portions and prices! There are places way more expensive with burgers that don't have much to them. Whats really nice is that here they offer substitutions for the protein, cheese, can make items vegan, and have gluten free buns. Although I'm not a vegan and can have gluten, I can imagine how hard it is to find a place that tries to include food restrictions. There was a good atmosphere, casual and cozy with the fairy/string lights and the industrial lighting. I would say this is a great date spot. Now there definitely is a wait for the food, they are very upfront about it, sometimes it might take even longer. The wait is perfect for conversation, if usually convo is harder and a bit awkward, maybe hold off on coming here until after the first date.There are maybe around 12(? tables and a couple bar seats. Service is great, the servers are very polite and friendly!Onto the food:The flavors and combinations for some of the burger are just so perfect. For appetizers we got hot honey sage fries, garlic fries, and cauliflower sliders. We were almost full just from the sliders, great sauce (it is sticky so be careful with getting it on your clothes had the perfect sweet and spicy balance. The coleslaw although honestly was just normal coleslaw, still impressed me. Not too mayo-y or soggy like most places. Hot honey sage fries are my favorite fries now, usually sage overpowers other flavors but it went so well with the hot honey. The garlic and dill were also good but a tiny bit underwhelming to me, however my boyfriend loved them. For burgers we tried the horseradish, peanut butter, conca d'oro, garlic rosemary. The burgers are huge and juicy. I was a bit hesitant on the horseradish but it was just amazing. The horseradish crema went great with the arugula, swiss, and mushrooms. Perfect combination! The conca d'oro was also delicious, you cant go wrong with pizza flavored anything really. The basil aioli really tied it together, I really wanted more of it to dip the garlic fries in. My boyfriend had the garlic rosemary and peanut butter burger. I had a bite of both and again just great food. The garlic rosemary burger made me wish I had a bigger stomach. I wanted to take more bites but i had my own burger to finish. I have had a peanut butter burger at different restaurant and it was okay. Exactly what you'd expect, however it was very heavy and had too thick of a peanut butter. Here, they do it better, the peanut butter had a better texture for burgers and there was just the right amount.
