THE GIANT STEP

While lettuce and tomato are standard burger toppings, THE GIANT STEP makes a case for broccoli with its signature Original Style. A coarse, meaty beef patty and melted cheese meet the crisp crunch of broccoli stalks, creating a textural rhythm rarely found between two buns. Diners begin by choosing their burger base before selecting one of 3 presentations: the signature broccoli build, the New York style that skips fresh vegetables to highlight the beef, or the Classic style layered with traditional lettuce, tomato, and pickles.

The burger selection itself is broad. The flagship Bacon Cheese Burger pairs griddled, fragrant bacon with melted cheddar for a hefty meal. Other inventive builds feature distinct cheese pairings, such as the Mushroom Cheese Burger with griddled mushrooms encased in Gruyère, the Spinach Cheese Burger layered with creamed spinach, and the Chipotle Cheese Burger driven by smoked chili and savory pork.

With an industrial interior warmed by vintage touches, the dining room has a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere well suited to taking your time. Weekday lunches can be rounded out with french fries and a soft drink, or upgraded with draft beer or Brooklyn Lager for a casual, hands-on meal.
