NYY Steak "Burger" : One of the best burgers in NY?

My boyfriend and I decided to try out NYY Steak at the Yankees stadium after we read online at AM New York that their burger was rated one of the top burgers in NYC.

It was a nice change of scenery to go to such a nice place on a game day at the Yankees Stadium instead eating at the concessions.

We started off with a round of drinks. I ordered a mojito which was tasty, but nothing special or unique about this drink. Nonetheless it was tasty.

While previewing the menu for lunch, we noticed there wasn't even a burger on the menu. We were very confused since we really wanted to try this burger! We said to the waitress that we wanted to order the burger, and she didn't hesitate or say anything about it not being on the menu. Could the burger be a secret dish that isn't on the menu?

The burger either came with french fries or coleslaw, and we chose coleslaw since fries just seemed too heavy. For the $17 cost, one would think that it would come with fries AND coleslaw! No such luck!

The burger came to our table, and at first glance it seemed great! We soon realized it was missing something. From the reviews we read, and the pictures we saw, it was supposed to include onion jam and aged gouda. The waitress never asked us about toppings and we just assumed we would receive the burger the way it is supposed to be prepared. The meat you could tell was great quality and cooked to perfection, but the missing toppings were a great disappointment. All that was included on ours was lettuce, tomato, and pickles. 

The coleslaw was very light and not overly creamy, just the way I like it!

The burger meat was quite delicious, but I am not sure I would rate it one of the top burgers in NYC, since it lacked excitement . I was hoping for the burger I saw in the picture from AM New York, but this didn't compare. It was like seeing a picture of a McDonald's burger in an ad, and then getting disappointed by the burger you receive. Hopefully next time they don't forget our toppings, if there is even a next time!
