MeatballBurger – The burgers here are nearly round, so it's amazing that they're able to overcook them while preserving a mealy texture throughout. The meat is pretty much flavorless, but I guess that's better than its being actively bad. At least they're expensive. The place is crowded and dirty and the service is surly. When we complained, our waitress said "It's Harvard Square, what do you expect." Exactly. If one must be in Cambridge, and must eat burgers, don't eat them here. As for me, I prefer not to.
The Best Pizza Burger! – I still remeber the first time going to Bartleys, I was about 10 and my brother took me. I could not believe how many different kinds of burgers they had and how good every single one of them sounded. So original and oh, so good. Their Pizza burger is amazing but try any one and you'll know that this is the BEST burger place around.
decor -1,food +10 – Many restaurants have tried to make a hamburger somthing it is not and should not be but Bartley's knows all the weaknesses of your basic burger and it's strengths and plays up the latter. Eating a Bartley's burger has restorative powers both for the taste buds and the psyche. For a burger experience this pure, I will glady give up decor.
I BELIEVE!!!! – What can I say? I have been made a believer. I didn't think the burgers would be that great, but I was wrong. I had the "Russell Crowe" and it was amazing. I loved the excitement, and the service staff was both exciting and friendly. i will DEFINITELY go back. Seating was a bit cramped, but overall, VERY GOOD!! GO THERE!
C- to a D+ – The ambience here is great. However, the food is mediocre, and a little pricey. It was also, somewhat uninspiring. Although, I'd have to admit, the sweet potato french fries was a little creative. The burgers are fried, and not flame-broiled, like the best burgers should be.
The best! – Great burgers! Great frappes! Bartley's is the best. The sweet potato fries are good too.
best burgers in boston – Bartley's in Harvard Square is excellent burger dining - this one place converted me from a medium to a medium-rare type of guy. The onion rings are so good that they they almost taste sweet, and the lime rickeys are crisp and refreshing, even in the winter. I am 25 and have been a devoted burger-eating carnivore all my life. To give you perspective, my rankings of fast food burgers go Wendy's, BK, McDonalds - but that really is irrelevant, as Bartely's is burger-loving cuisine at it's finest.
It's sooooooooo good !! – It is simply the best burger I ever had. The Bearnise burger is to die for.
The wait is worth it! – If you haven't been to Bartley's then you obviously aren't a burger fan! This is by far the best burger joint in town and the wacked out scenery is throw in for free! A great place to get a bite if you don't mind waiting a few minutes and aren't dressed up as it is a super casual place. It wouldn't be a complete visit if you didn't have a Lime Rickey to go with your 'low-cal' (not even close to being good for you) burger. Roll the sleeves up and get ready to dig in. You'll probably pay more for a burg... read more
