I could never had thought it would be that special as people wrote about this place. But I took a trip to burger heaven and I wish I could’ve stayed forever. Tried two different burgers from the menu, not because I needed more food. I needed another KO.

Amazing for the price. The KO burger (4/5) was juicy, flavorful, and full of meat - would absolutely get again. Excellent value for the price. There isn't seating except some stand up tables outside.

The taste factor is amazing! The team delivered exceptional customer service and the meals were outstanding. K.O. Burger's position is ideal, though its welcoming staff truly stands out. They present dishes typical of their style. This spot is genuinely impressive and I can't wait to go back!

Literal hole in the wall (no indoor seating, just 2 standing tables outside) but the food is damn good so if you're getting take out it's great. I got the meaty boy double and cheese fries to go and the burger was still hot (not just warm, but hot like it was fresh off the grill) and juicy when I finally got home an hour later so that's pretty efficient packaging. The cheese fries cooled down but what can you do. The burger was juicy, well seasoned, and flavorful. Very greasy but I don't know how much of that is from the burger and how much is from the bacon (I'd assume mostly from the later but I'd had to go again and get a different burger to confirm). Fries are crinkle cut which aren't my favorite but they were still well cooked, closer to the crispy end of the spectrum without being hard. The cheese fries comes with cheese sauce (typical nacho cheese type sauce), fried shallots, grilled onions, and chipotle mayo. Messy but tasty. Prices are pretty fair, competitive for the area. Service was very fast too, my order took less than 10 minutes on a Saturday evening. Might be my new favorite smash burger place on the lower east side. I'd definitely go back and try their other menu items some other time. A double is good for me but I'm a huge fat ass so a single might be enough for most regular people

This is my first time coming here and they have a nice list of burgers to eat. I got the double patty knockout burger to try out since that’s like the first burger on the menu. I also got cross-cut fries, which are crinkle fries so they’re crunchy and crispy! For $9 a double patty burger is truly incredible and affordable compared to a lot of burger joints you see in NYC. Going to try out their other signature burgers next time. They have just 2 tall yellow tables to stand and eat your burger.

Good burger place if in China town. I’d try the other fries and burger I come next time. Came during Memorial Day. Just finished seeing the intrepid. Kinda tastes like shake shack if you wanna have an idea how it tastes. It was pretty good. Fries are better. Crunchier and a little more flavor. Greasy but in a good way. It’s a guilty pleasure.

Smash burger spots have been opening up so fast and furiously in recent months, it’s hard to keep up. But I finally made it to K.O. and I have to say it’s a serious contender. Good sized with good quality ingredients, my burger was full of beefy flavor and your could really taste the bacon. I love that they serve crinkle cut fries too - super crispy! I look forward to returning and trying their truffle mayo burger and limited edition hatch chile burger. Just make sure it’s a nice day when you go - they don’t have indoor seating.

I was really very pleasantly surprised at how good my KO burger was. I got the double knockout burger. Warning... This burger is huge! You can tell how good a burger is by how sloppy it is. This burger was a mess, a good mess. It was really tasty. We ordered both the KI cheese fries and regular fries... Both were really good. I'll be back.

Amazing little burger shop! It’s so unassuming! The staff were nice and prompt. The food didn’t take long at all. It came out piping hot and fresh. It is just the store front, but there are standing tables in which you can eat outside. The burger was juicy and delicious. The fries were crispy and salty. It was everything you want in a smash burger and it’s not too expensive! Awesome place! You have to try it!

Knockout burger was 11/10 and the fries were FIRE with the jalapeño ranch was sooooo good. You order from a window and there are a few tables to put your food on and eat while standing. That should give you a good enough vibe check on the spot. If you’re around, would highly recommend

Finally made a stop to check out KO Burger. Glad I did. I ordered a Thrilla in Manila double and a Ring Side w/jalapeño ranch dressing (under $20 in total) at the little window. Dude gave me a ticket. 12 minutes later I grabbed my loot & I Citibiked myself to eat it hot at home. True to the plan, I plated my double smash burger on a potato roll with American cheese, jalapeños, green chili yuzu mayo & a side of onion rings. I loved the burger. Good flavor and surprisingly moist. Far better than Shake Shack and a better price point ($11!) The onion rings featured REAL onions and a crispy bite. However, they were not sufficiently seasoned. Disappointing but the jalapeño ranch was a nice patch and paired well with the rings. I’ll definitely return.
