It's worth noting that Salt Bae's little empire comes with a lengthy list of accusations and lawsuits against Gökçe for everything fromShould you still want to go, here's what to expect. When you enter, you enter a Salt Bae theme park—unsurprisingly, there are images everywhere of Gökçe doing his Salt Bae thing , and if he's around, he'll be more than happy to pose for however many pictures you want to take.
The restaurant is large, with seating for about 60 at stools, various tables, and banquettes, and the location is on a prime Union Square/Gramercy corner, at Park Avenue South and 18th Street. There's a bar with an undulating wooden base dividing the room, and each table has a numbered coat-check glued to its surface, but these are the only bits of decor that are not Gökçe-centric.The food is terrible here.
Worse, though, was the Wet Burger, which is apparently a popular snack in Turkey and I had seen described elsewhere as being like a "sloppy joe," but this version is actually just a meager disc of meat sitting within a soggy, unpleasantly sweet bun. It's also tiny, but you can't eat more than a single bite anyway. And then there's the signature Salt Bae Burger, featuring a mound of flavorless "Waygu meat" with oozy toppings designed for Instagram.
I tried one of Salt Bae's shakes, as well, called the Puf Puf, which involved zero ice cream and way too much marshmallow. Given all of that, the fries are shockingly good, so if you do get dragged here just order those.Salt Bae Burger is located at 220 Park Avenue South, at the corner of 18th Street, and is open daily from 11:30 a.m. to midnight
