Empty your bladders before coming – Good burgers, but I wouldn't say fantastic. No bathrooms here, so definately detracts from the dining experience. The wait staff aren't too friendly either.

Best Burger in town – It may be a little pricey, but they have the best selection and best tasting burgers in town. Not to mention, the best names for Burgers. Go see what I mean, you won't regret it.

yeah, baby – as a hungry harvard student, i practically lived on the yuppie burger at bartley's (bacon and boursin cheese). i loved crowding into this place with my buddies, chowing on the amazing onion rings, soaking up the atmosphere. definitely worth a pit-stop on any visit to harvard square.
