Duffy's - Forest Avenue

I've heard from quite a few people that Duffy's on Forest Avenue has the best hamburgers on Staten Island. Tonight, husband and I finally made the trip to Duffy's and had dinner.

The awning outside their building proudly states that they have the best burgers on Staten Island. That's a pretty confident statement to make, so we were very hopeful that we would find this to be true. Duffy's is a tiny bar with several tables, and the place was jammed. We took a bar table, so didn't need to wait very long.

I knew I was going to have a burger, so I didn't really spend any time looking at the menu. It took a while for the waitress to come take our order. They have Franziskaner Beer so I ordered that, along with a cheeseburger, medium, with fried onions and mushrooms. They didn't have mushrooms, so I just got the onions. Husband ordered a cheeseburger, rare.

It took a little while to get our food, but not too bad considering the crowd inside. The burgers were served on an english muffin. The fried onions were fantastic - nice and caramelized; an excellent flavor. The burgers were perfectly cooked to order - mine a barely noticeable hint of pink, my husband's a beautiful bright pink center. A great, juicy and flavorful burger.

I didn't need to ask for mustard; they keep a bottle right on the table with the ketchup. I liked that!

Overall, these burgers were terrific. I give this a 4 burger rating - Top of the Line!
