HighLife Burger Introduce
Welcome to HighLife Burger, a unique hamburger restaurant that has brought the classic West Coast-style burger experience to the heart of New York City’s East Village. Located on First Avenue, we offer a refreshing change of pace from the typical New York burger joint. Our mission is to deliver a simple, delicious, and high-quality meal that is reminiscent of the best fast-food joints from California. We are a favorite among "Cali transplants" and locals alike who are seeking a familiar taste or a new, exciting burger experience.
Our menu is a tribute to the classic American hamburger. We focus on doing a few things exceptionally well, rather than overwhelming you with endless options. Our burgers feature a fresh, delicious patty, fresh veggies, and our signature secret sauce. The style is often compared to a famous West Coast chain, with many customers noting the similar "smash burger" style and fresh ingredients. However, we have our own distinct identity, and we are proud of our take on this American classic. Our commitment to using quality ingredients and providing fast, friendly service is what sets us apart in the city's crowded culinary scene.
At HighLife Burger, the atmosphere is casual and straightforward, designed for those who appreciate a no-fuss, delicious meal. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch on your own, meeting a friend for a fast dinner, or need a satisfying late-night bite, we are the perfect destination. Our efficient service model ensures that you get your food quickly without compromising on taste or quality. We're more than just a place to eat; we're a reliable pitstop for a truly great burger experience in NYC.

★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1If you want a West Coast Style Burger then you must stop by here. As a Cali transplant, this is a great welcome among the East Coast burgers. It is similar to In N Out but In N Out will always be the best in my eyes. If Highlife could are a similar option to the Animal Style then I will be happy to do another comparison.The fries are superior to In N Out.I cant wait to try their other shop - Electric Burrito. Luv breakfast burritos.
April 13 · Stephen ChenI love the chili cheese fries. The highlife double burger was okay. Nothing particularly good/bad stood out. Though I did let it sit out for a while before eating it.
June 09 · gunsboundThis place is so mid. The burger should have a wrap to keep it together while you're eating it. It has too much sauce and falls apart easily. Raw onions and big lettuce are at least different from most other newer spots, however I'm not a fan personally. Actual burger was nothing special.There is also zero seating. This isn't the type of burger you'd want to eat while standing on the street.The real sole positive to me is that it's open late.
April 11 · Michael RahmaniVery similar to in n out but way better and fresher. The meat has a great crust and is delicious. Really nice to have a new burger place that isn't just another smashed burger 10/10.
April 10 · Stefan PalylykWent to Highlife for a late night “snack.” Solid cheeseburger with really good sauce and composition. I recommend getting the grilled onions. One thing holding it back is that the patty could use a little more seasoning/flavor.
