7th Street Burger started as a tiny walk-up counter on East 7th Street serving smash-style cheeseburgers and an Impossible burger option, with no seating in the traditional restaurant sense and no reservations — it's order-at-the-window, first-come-first-served. That format has clearly resonated: the same search turned up 7th Street Burger locations now open across Manhattan (West Village, Upper East Side, Times Square, Financial District, Lower East Side, SoHo), which points to sustained demand well beyond a single-block novelty.
Because it's counter service with no reservation system, any wait comes down to walking up and getting in line, and the shop's late-night hours (open past midnight most nights, until around 1-3am Tuesday through Sunday) suggest it pulls a late crowd on top of the regular lunch/dinner rush. We didn't find specific reported wait-time numbers in this search, so treat any estimate with caution — but for a faster order, an early lunch shortly after the noon opening is a reasonable bet to beat both the dinner rush and the late-night crowd.

Damnlines doesn't have a live camera at this location yet, so we can't give you a real-time line count. It's a small walk-up, counter-service spot with no reservations, and demand has been strong enough that this original East Village shop expanded into a multi-location NYC chain — so some wait during peak dinner and late-night hours is typical for this kind of format. It's worth checking hours before heading over, especially late at night.
No. It's a walk-up counter-service burger spot, so it runs first-come, first-served rather than by reservation.
Per its listed hours, the 91 E 7th St location serves roughly noon to just before midnight daily, with extended late-night service on top of that (until about 1am Tuesday-Thursday and up to 3am Friday-Sunday). Hours can change, so confirm before a late-night trip.
It's known for smash-style cheeseburgers, plus an Impossible (plant-based) burger option and fries.
