Island Burgers & Shakes
766 Ninth Ave
(Btwn 51st and 52nd Sts)
tel.: 212/307-7934
Location: Btwn 51st and 52nd Sts
Cuisine: Burgers
Price Category: Inexpensive

This aisle-size diner glows with the wild colors of a California surf shop. Service is minimal and tables are tiny, but the food is top-notch. A small selection of sandwiches and salads are on hand, but as the name implies, folks come here for the Goliath-size burgers -- either beef hamburgers or, the specialty of the house, churrascos (flattened grilled chicken breasts). Innovation strikes with the more than 40 topping combinations. Though Island Burgers also serves fries, you're meant to eat these fellows with their tasty dirty potato chips.

Sandwiches and salads $6.50-$9.Open: Sun-Thurs noon-10:30pm; Fri-Sat noon-11:30pm.Reservations not accepted.Credit Cards: Not accepted.Subway: C, E to 50th St.
