No Good Burger Joint, born in Baldwin, NY, has fast become a must-visit for burger lovers across Long Island. Founded by local brothers Marcello and Anthony Erickson, the small but mighty Baldwin location draws acclaim for its house-ground prime beef that’s smashed to order on a well-seasoned griddle.

Their menu features crave-worthy smash burgers—single, double, or triple—with classic toppings: onions, bread-and-butter pickles, and a signature smash sauce on a potato roll. Monthly specials get creative, including indulgent items like a PB&J-topped burger on cinnamon-raisin toast and even a donut-bun burger. Veggie lovers aren’t left out—a hearty plant-based patty made from quinoa, sweet potato, mushrooms, and chickpeas gets top marks.

With a cozy, rustic interior and vibrant chalkboard menu, the joint exudes neighborhood charm. Beyond Baldwin, they serve via a second Rockville Centre location and fleet of food trucks at spots like Southgate in Massapequa and Farmingdale Airport Plaza.
