Review of Cheeburger Cheeburger (46 Great Neck Road)

Cheeburger Cheeburger Great Neck They’d better clean their act up if they want to survive Cheeburger Cheeburger is one of the best hamburger chains out there, but you wouldn’t be able to tell by its Great Neck location. Rating by steve: 2.0 stars I really, really, really wanted to like Cheeburger Cheeburger. I’d eaten before at their location in Plainview and I loved it. I also try to stop by their location at JFK Terminal 5 whenever I fly JetBlue. And so I was excited to hear that they’d taken over the old location at the Waldbaum’s shopping center that once housed Cosi (which I also liked and was sad to see go).

Daruma is also notable for one of the popular vendors at Citi Field (there’s a giant banner signed by the 2000 NL Champion Mets by the front door), as well as having been a caterer to the UN. Daruma has been in Great Neck for 27 years. Back in the mid-80′s when it started, raw fish was still an oddity. Today, it’s not uncommon to see Daruma filled with families, high school kids, and middle school kids munching away. I was always a little perplexed looking at reviews on Yelp and Yahoo, where the reviews seems to be either five-stars or one-star. So I decided to try it for myself.
