Blue Collar - Brooklyn

Just a good old fashioned American burger and shake shop.Food: 5/5

It's a Saturday. Dark out. A misty rain sprinkles on your windshield. All this scene dressing is making you hungry, and Google Maps has you covered. You're feeling particularly American today, so a burger joint is sure to satisfy.Minutes later, you pull up in front of Blue Collar and park your car.You're not too sure if this is the right spot.The exterior screams auto shop more than it does restaurant, but a small sign above the door confirms that this is indeed the place you're looking for.The inside of the establishment is somehow even more confusing than the outside. There are chairs and tables but also a broken closet and a high ceiling. This place feels part bedroom, part abandoned storage unit. The familiar menu, front counter, and food iconography are the only things keeping you from running far away.Sticking around is the right choice, as you'll soon find out, but the guy at the front counter isn't helping matters much. He's doing all the normal cashier stuff but somehow can't get out of this uncanny valley of customer service. It's weird. Feels like he's a robot doing his best impression of a McDonald's employee.You definitely don't plan on dining in, so you practically sprint out the door with your order when it's ready. Didn't have to wait too long and the price was pretty reasonable. So far, so good.The meal turns out to be a winner as well. With how good this double cheeseburger tastes, it's easy for you to forgive this place for forgetting the bacon. They went overkill on the pickles but that's a quick fix. The fries are icing on the cake; the portion is huge and the seasoning they put on is perfect, even if you think they went a little light on it.After wrapping up your meal, you can't help feeling pleasantly surprised. In spite of its weird looks, Blue Collar is an instant candidate for your go-to spots for late night grub. Hopefully they remember the bacon next time.

Food was alright. Service was good. Way way overpriced. Purchased a double cheese burger, fries, and a milkshake and it came down to 26 dollars. Sheesh. For food comparable to any fast food chain it really shouldn't cost this much. The burger was relatively small for being a 15 dollar burger... I would've felt differently if the entire meal was 15 but 26 is just too much money for something that's alright.

Loved the chili cheese fries!!! They were so flavorful! The burger was also great ...gave shake shack a run for their money!

No way this place is real. If you eat here and love this place, I seriously question your taste in food.Everything is comes from frozen, there is no effort, love or taste put into this food. Workers are a bit pretentious here for food that is meant for dogs.I've cooked better food at a bowling alley when I was 15, seriously.
