- Quatorze8.1 · #47 citywide
Scored by Brotherly Burgers. Updated September 2026.
The Upper East Side is quietly solid with 5 ranked burgers. Quatorze (8.1) leads as a French bistro sleeper pick that most burger lists overlook. Hoexters (7.6) knows its way around beef, and J.G. Melon (7.5) remains an UES institution. Sin City Burger (6.4) and San Matteo (6.4) round out the lineup. The UES won't wow you with volume, but Quatorze and Hoexters together make a compelling case for heading uptown.
