I have seen mikes burgers recommended a few times on this site. I see it has a OU and also someone R' Naftoli Berger (haha).

Does anyone know about the Hashgacha and if the yeshivish oilam eats there? I'm not from the Monsey area but will be coming in.
Thanks!

"Chasidish" Is not "yeshivish" but yes, they eat there. They got a new hashgacha and took down the tvs.
You don't even have to "go into the mall" it's by "the eatery" entrance - target.

You either hold of the ou or u don’t… many yeshivish people do. Some don’t..
if ur so on the fence about a hechsher like the ou then you should probably consult ur own rav not imamother

I know a number of chassidim that eat at restaurants with an OU depending on what schita the meat is.

Yes, yeshivish people do eat there. It's a regular restaurant. Nothing different than others besides for it being at the mall. There's a mall entrance right at the restaurant.

The yeshivish oilam asks shailos when they want to know if something meets their individual standards.

This is true. Just no idea where to ask since I am not from the Monsey area.

If you live in the United States, I'm sure your local halachic authority has heard of the OU. It's not unique to Monsey. Give your authority a call and ask what they think of it.

I don’t think yeshivish eat ou meat. At least not in my circles.

I know how we hold on ou meat, but don't know about the other Hashgacha on it if that changes anything

The chassidish hechsher doesn't give hechsher on meat. There's a sign on the door stating that all meats are chabad and he doesn't give hechsher

How would having additional hashgacha affect the first one?

Are you concerned about Kashrus or fitting in?
From a kashrus standpoint, if you don't eat OU or chabad meat, you probably wouldn't eat there. Your Rov should be able to find out who Rav Berger is and if you can be somech on him.
If it's about fitting in, you have to describe your affiliation more clearly than yeshivish. Will your husband be wearing a hat and jacket in the restaurant? He might be the only one there, but not necessarily.

I doubt that. I was there a couple of times in the last year and both times there were a few people wearing litvish/ chassidish levush.

If you don’t know anything about r Berger why are you saying haha to his hechsher?
