Unfortunately this place is kind of falling apart. -Service is confused and doesn't know or care about their jobs, and it shows. -Food was sloppily thrown together and not very good. -Seating is uncomfortably disorganized. Maybe this place has seen better days, maybe the management is in the process of changing, but after hearing great things from others about Bareburger I felt I needed to try it and was completely let down from beginning to end. I'll stick to Shakeshack a few blocks away. read more

You wouldn't think a place with "burger" in the name would be as vegetarian friendly as it is, but they have three different veggie burger options: portabello mushroom, black bean patty and quinoa veggie. I got what sounded like the most hippie thing ever, a quinoa patty wrapped in collard green leaves, and it turned out to be so delicious, so satisfying, great texture. Maybe one of my favorite veggie burgers ever. Several reviewers have complained about the service, and we've had the slow and disinterested table service experience, too. But when we've sat at the bar, it's totally different. Attentive, friendly, welcoming. I'd love to sit outside and enjoy their cafe vibe but the bar seems where it's at, maybe because that's where you find their excellent manager David working. And don't miss the Kelvin slushy drinks. Frozen dark and stormy? Oh yes! read more

Good fries!!! I love the shakes and fries at this place! Eat here all the time, absolutely reccomend!

Big Bleu, Bacon Burger!!! I need to tell you first that this needs to be had with lamb meat. The Bacon was cut thick and and cooked perfectly, the bleu cheese was not overwhelming and the lamb was just mouthwatering. I also had a 12 oz. milk shake with banana and I wash I had ordered the 16 oz. I can't wait to order again from here. also we ordered through Seamless and it came in less time than we expected. read more

***** Note: Below is my original review. A day later I am raising it to four stars because all my friends told me that removing a star for the style of lettuce they use is persnickety. Well, they used other words, but they convinced me I was wrong. The original, persnickety review is below. ***** This is why Yelp simply must allow 1/2 star reviews. Barebuger is better than three stars, but not quite four stars. I had a basic burger (tomato, lettuce, fried onions, cheese, sauce on a brioche bun), fries and lemonade. The burger was perfectly cooked (medium rare) the bun was the perfect size and density and the toppings (except for one, explanation below) were first rate. The fries were excellent: Fresh, crispy and not over-salted. There are salt and pepper grinders on each table, and a nice grainy mustard, as well. All of which I like with my fries. And it was a perfect side portion, as well. The lemonade a nice combination of sweet and tart and very refreshing. The service, taking into account the crowds, was very good. So why only three (3.5 if I could) stars? The burgers are a little small for the price. The most very basic burger is $8.45, and almost any burger a New York Burger Eater is going to order will be well above ten bucks. I know that all the meats and toppings are highly curated, and the cows are read to at night and told how special they are before being slaughtered, but another one or one-and-a-half ounces of beef would make the burger better. So yea, not accounting for value, they are four stars. But they lost their fourth star for the following reason: They use corner deli style shredded lettuce on their burgers, not leaf lettuce. I cannot remember the last time I was served such cafeteria worthy fare at a sit down restaurant, especially one so proud of its ingredients. Yea, yea, it's organic and ethically grown and all, but shredding it ruins it. Period. You lose a star. read more

Good for a local chain. Nice atmosphere. Had decent black bean burger (better for the bread and presentation; patty nothing overly special), and shared a basket of onion rings and sweet fries with various sauces, plus diet soda (natural soda, which was delicious). read more

If it weren't for Mooburger, this would be the best burger in the neighborhood. They're expensive, and don't include fries or anything, but the ingredients are top-quality and the end product is delicious. The service was a little wobbly - excellent waiter, but everyone else seemed confused and slow. Considering they JUST opened, this is forgivable and will probably improve. I'm dinging them 2 stars because their beer menu is idiotic, and in a burger joint, beer is critical. The selection is uninspired and odd, but the main issue is that they simply provide a list of breweries and the brewers' regions. They don't actually say WHICH beer from each brewery is on tap, requiring you to ask the server to laboriously go over the whole list. When pressed, the bartender simply handed over the "cheat sheet" provided by management, which had a one-sentence description of each beer with some adjectives and bizarre recommendations (ie, if the double IPA is too hoppy, go with the apricot beer). To sum up: there's really no reason to go to this place over Mooburger, unless you're unwilling to walk a few blocks. read more

This place has the WORST SERVICE. Every time I go here, no one serves me and they are really rude. I also caught one of the waiters adjusting to the tip (STEALING). I kept my receipt and then got the bill in the mail and they had added more than I wrote (which was 20%). Make sure you save your receipt and write the tip on it! They are a bunch of crooks!!! But the food is good. UPDATE: As for the credit card receipt and tip. This was a different time. We had the WORST waiter ever. I was with my family. He was so rude. We left a decent dip, but accidentally walked out with the signed tip receipt instead of the copy. The waiter decided he would add his own tip and evened it up to an even $100. This is not a mistake and it was the customer copy. EVEN if we had not left any tip, which is what he deserved for being such a dick, he has no right to steal from his customers. THIS IS WHY WE ORDER and I still keep every receipt and have to worry about checking the bill. read more

My date and I came here on a Tuesday afternoon, delighted to find that it was relatively empty, and everyone who was there - server or customer - seemed happy to be there. The servers here are warm and friendly, checking on you throughout the meal to see if you need anything else but not in a way that seems obtrusive to the table conversation. It's a good thing our server, Matt, wasn't a salesperson - he was so helpful and likable that I probably would have purchased anything he was selling. I don't think anyone is not well-served by the menu here - the tummies of vegans, vegetarians, meat-lovers, and folks with food allergies will rejoice alike. As a vegan, I'm used to finding a lone veggie burger on the menu at most joints and whether I want it or not, I'm just happy to have found SOMEthing. Here, I was happily surprised with choices - bean burger or farmers quinoa burger? Vegan cheese? Which toppings? That's the build-your-own-burger side of the menu, but if you're an indecisive type, they have plenty of already-made burger combos to which you would just add the patty that you'd like. If you decide to make your own, just bear in mind that all of the toppings can quickly ring up your burger's price tag. Most will be in the $9-10 range, but piling add-ons can push it into the $15 mark, which makes for a pretty expensive burger in my opinion. That's what happened to me when I chose the quinoa patty with vegan cheddar and avocado and a few other (free) toppings. Was it worth it? Price aside, it was a damn good burger. The tastes were there and I don't know if their vegan cheese is housemade or bought, but it hit all of the cheesy notes I remember from my pre-gan days. I only wished my sandwich stayed together a little better. The quinoa patty - while delicious - had the texture of oatmeal that has barely gelled together, and it started falling apart after my first bite, requiring me to fork and knife it for the rest of the meal. It's not a huge deal and I wouldn't have minded it nearly as much had it not been priced like a luxury burger. Other menu items - the fries made this carb queen's heart SING, with plenty of crunch and perfect seasoning. We ordered a small sweet potato and a small fresh cut, and portion-wise, it was enough to last us from the appetizer round to the post-meal wind down. We didn't get to try the curry ketchup that everyone's been raving about, but I'm looking forward to it for the next time around. My date ordered a blackberry vodka drink called the Rachel Carson. It was bland and the sprig of rosemary that they stuck in there was really overpowering, but we loved my bellini (peach and bubbly), which was sweet and refreshing. She loved her ice cream sandwich, swimming in a little puddle of chocolate sauce, but I found my vegan carrot cake to be stiff (like it'd been sitting in the fridge for a long time) and the caramel topping made it much too sweet. The restaurant looks like a cleverly renovated garage, with plenty of wood accents and bar seating if you'd rather sit up higher. It looks rustic but comfortable and (tonight anyway), it felt like a place that invited lingering after a meal, and we did precisely that last night, chatting for at least half an hour after we signed the check with nary a stink eye from the workers. read more

Best gluten free chicken nuggets! This was my first time trying it and I got it delivered through Door Dash. Great experience!

Went there on a Wednesday evening and here is what I liked! Service: We did not have to wait for a table so it was great. Our waitress was extra friendly and took the time going over the menu and making suggestions on what we might want to order. Food: We ordered the fried pickles which were amazing ! As well as the Maui Wowie with ostrich and the Big Blue Bacon with elk; we also ordered a side of fries. The Maui Wowie was delicious; it was suggested by our waitress, and although I was reluctant at first, I am sooo glad I took her suggestion. I had the ostrich medium rare and it was juicy and tasty. I wasn't crazy about the elk, it was too gamey for me but my date liked it. I love the fact all the meat comes from cage-free animals and many of the ingredients are organic. They also have vegan and gluten free options. My one complaint is they only have one bathroom for the whole place and I found myself waiting 10 mins to use it. Over all I would go back but would love to try another location. read more

My boyfriend and I have been to 3 other Bareburger locations, so we were surprised when we found one right near Trader Joe's. I have to say right off the bat that the food was great, as usual - my 3 star review has nothing to do with that. We came here on a Saturday and we knew it would be busy - and it was. That being said, we were seated at the bar right away, though the service from there on was just OK. Also, be forewarned if you come here on a weekend, you will be subjected to screaming children. Just when one would quiet down, another would start wailing. Not once did we have a child NOT crying about something during our meal. I know that Bareburger themselves can't control this, but its something worth noting if you do plan to come on a weekend. read more

This used to be my go to spot but every since they've went on doordash I rarely receive my meal. I wish restaurants would stop using DoorDash and only work with their own delivery people or Uber Eats only. My last 3 meals have all been charged then after over an hour cancelled. You guys they are killing your business get smart and stop working with them. read more

I've tried to dine here a few times, but it seemed to always be at a time when everybody else is also wanting to test out the newest addition to the nabe. I just can't justify waiting 30+ min for a burger joint. Therefore, I figured this past Sunday afternoon around 2 pm would be perfect. We still waited about 10 min for a table, but we were able to get space at the bar for a drink while we waited. They serve 25 oz draft beers. You need to know this. When we sat down, we had to wait about 5 min before our server came over to take our order. No explanation of the menu or recommendations on whether we needed more than one order of fries to accompany our meal. Normally, I wouldn't expect this but both newly seated tables next to us received this sort of treatment, so I was a bit perplexed. Anyways, since it was a Sunday afternoon and I was trying to be all healthy I ordered the large Asian salad. It was delicious! It was broccoli slaw, watercrest, cucumbers and these crispy edamame pods. I couldn't get enough of it, and I really don't say that about salads much. We also ordered 1/2 rings + 1/2 fries as a side order but we received a fully order of fries. Frankly, I didn't want the rings (the fiancee wanted them), so I didn't say anything. The fries were banging delicious. Crispy, piping hot, soft on the inside. The dipping sauces were ok. Only one of them really stood out to me, but I can't remember which. It wasn't the curried ketchup. That was too sweet for me. Anyways, my fiancee had the habanero express. He thought it was very good and finished every last bite. End of the day, I would definitely come back. Also, there were a lot of kids there. Not a bad thing, just something I noticed. Also, they serve breakfast type items until 2 pm on the weekends. The menu looked pretty awesome. read more

I have a simple but stable love for this place. This is the only location of theirs that Ive been to... But after my first try, about two months ago, Ive been back about five times. Its one of my regular go-to places, which surprised me since its a chain. I have found the food to be delicious. They're putting out simple and reliable products - a variety of burgers, salads, and sides. Im not normally a salad person but the salad they have with kale, quinoa, watermelon radish, and chickpea, is unique, unlike any other salad Ive had. Its very fairly priced - i believe 9bucks, for the small... and that small is definitely enough for a meal. In my first visits, i ordered a simple beef burger, playing around with the add-ons. It was a gamble but once I tried the Amish blue cheese, and it was delicious. The size of their burgers, I find to be perfect. Unlike most burgers, the ones here are generally on buns that dont get soggy with grease, and are not so tall that they're a challenge to take a bite of without making a mess. I always get the brioche bun which is perfect in size - soft but sturdy. During my last two visits, I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and was pleasantly surprised. The chicken was entirely white meat, free of any fatty pieces. The amount of chicken you're given is more than Ive found in any other grilled chix sandwiches. Basically, these simple dishes are what one would expect, only they're at the top of their game. Im not any kind of organic guru, but here, the quality of their ingredients is noticeably high. Everything is flavorful and fresh. Whatever burger or sandwich I get, is about 11 bucks. Paying the dollar or two more than I would at the nearby Moo Burger, is a no brainer - Its an upgraded burger, so it makes sense to pay a small upgrade fee. The price can vary every visit though, because they have a make your own style option... you pick your bun, your cheese, and what toppings you want, as well as sauces. Naturally each add on tacks on something like 75cents. I will be continuing to happily be a regular. read more

Bareburger has become my go to spot before shopping at Trader Joe's on Sundays. (Pro Tip: Never go to Trader Joe's hungry!) Since I've been going for a long time I remember the original menu that was so much better than this condensed menu they have now. Don't get me wrong, the food is still good but my favorites have been taken off the menu and every-time I go there I shed a little tear. Please bring back the sweet potato croquettes! Please! This rating is really based of the newer menu. The selection could be so much better! read more

I love Bareburger. The portabello mushroom option with quinoa patty is my favorite vegan option. Savory, juicy, and feels good to chew one. The fries and onion rings combo with the different sauces is also another favorite. I really like the curry ketchup. This restaurant seems spacious and I like the decor. It has a nice cozy feeling. For non-vegan burgers, I think the roadhouse is the best option. read more

My husband and I used to go to Bareburger a lot and we've become hooked again! I got the matador with the Gf bun which as far as GF buns go, not terrible and the burger itself was really good. Hubs got a vegan hotdog (the penn station) and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was and impressed by how much it tasted like real bratwurst. Needless to say we'll be back. We really enjoy this location and our server Sam was a delight! Thanks again for your patience with me as I navigated the new app read more

While usually good (although slow and overpriced), the staff has always been nice. I went in the restaurant on a Thursday night with my boyfriend and most of the tables were filled. The hostess told me there were no tables available and I had to wait 10 mins outside in the cold and rain. There were two empty tables right in front of me! It was two small tables pushed together to make a four top. I asked if we could have one empty table and push them apart (there was plenty of room) and was told no, because they were saving them for a "large group." I can't believe I was told to wait outside in the rain for 10 minutes, as I was staring at two empty tables! Guess who didn't wait and won't be going back there again..... read more

So the food was great. I chose to "build my own burger"- Turkey patty, green hummus, pickled tomatoes, wild mushrooms with lettuce. It was amazing. However, I didn't know that it was table service (it was my first time), so I placed my order then went to sit. When my order came it was in a to-go bag. The server informed me and corrected the situation. Even brought my bag and drink from my table to the bar! Awesome. My complaint is with the guy behind the register. I own a restaurant and I believe he is the night manager. His attitude was very unpleasant. He had an attitude because I was unaware that it was table service. When I finished my meal I brought my food to the counter (after being told it was fine to leave it), I told them that I enjoyed the food and "it was great." The manager did not chime in nor say thank you. He just gave a stare. However, everybody that I saw come in to pick up their order or make an order he exchanged pleasantries. I was planning on returning to this restaurant after my workout, but I rather not have that experience again. Hopefully, I change my mind because the food was so darn good and fresh. Stay tuned, I guess... read more

Stayed with the basics: Beef (med rare), lettuce, ketchup, onions, pickles, brioche bun, fries. Beef was luke warm and flavorless (as is often the case with grass-fed beef, tho). Pickles were missing. Fries limp and cold. Two burgers and fries came to $23. Not worth it. MooBurger down the street does a much better overpriced pretentious burger, but you kind of get what you pay for. To keep it real, go to Two Eight Two on Atlantic two blocks away for an excellent pub burger, or just go to the Shake Shack on Fulton for the best of the best. read more

Food was good, but options were pretty limited (only had colby jack, pepper jack, or vegan cheese options for burger but maybe they ran out). Three stars because the entire experience was pretty impersonal. You had to go up to a machine to place your order and it came out when it was ready. I'd understand more if they offered that as an additional option to table service or if they were very obviously a fast food place, but it isn't advertised as such and very much presents as a restaurant. read more

Well something new on this wonderful day. The place is very warm and homely and it's always full so it must be good. read more

I've been to a handful of Bareburgers, including one at a music festival, and this one is the best. It's the most spacious, has the most attentive staff, and has the liquor menu the others are missing. The location helps all those details along, too -- urrbody know DT BK is where it's at. A strange note about Bareburger's lettuce beds in general: Bareburger, why the bleep do you put the lettuce on TOP of the burger? When you serve it, it looks like you're giving me a plate of lettuce. It's embarrassing. Just because I order lettuce doesn't mean dat beautiful, luscious burger shouldn't show ;))) read more

Tired of that stuck-up suburban mommy treating you like the anti-Christ because you suggested a 'common burger joint' and you were shockingly ignorant that she insists on her family only eating kosher, halal, all-natural, gluten-free, organic food? Ready to shove that "it's a pity NYC can't provide ethical food" 'tude down her throat? Well, folks, the answer may be Bareburger. Pretty much everything on and OFF the menu - down to the napkins, tables, and cutlery... is natural, organic, or recycled. It is a ridiculous level of ethical eating that is guaranteed to slap the smugness right off your frenemy's face. And there is nothing quite so enjoyable as savoring a tasty burger while forcing someone else to eat crow. :) And the food is actually pretty good, too. They have a wide array of burger (and more exotic) options to suit most tastes. The only problem is Bareburger is very popular... so you can expect a crowd and a bit of a wait whenever you go. read more

They should really get 3.5 stars, but yelp hasn't caught on to half stars yet. On our 1st visit, the bison burger was horrible. It was terribly undercooked, and maybe I just don't like bison, not sure. This is our 2nd visit, bc she really likes the salads. I got a sesame ginger beef burger this time and it was delicious! The chocolate and strawberry shake was also delicious. She says her guapo chop with chicken salad was yumalicious(her word, not mine). I'd give them 4 stars except for the service. They kept trying to take our drinks and food while we were still eating. Will go again, but keep a tighter reign on my plate. read more

My friend and I had dinner here about 6:30 on a Tuesday night. We had our pick of seats (both inside and outside) but the place filled up pretty quickly after that. We sat outside on the side walk to enjoy the beautiful summer night. The service was good, the food was good...all around solid meal, but I am just not giving it 5-stars because I don't think anything was life-changingly amazing Some of the highlights: ~onion rings--definitely the best I've ever had! ~we got the onion/fry basket and it came with FOUR different types of dipping sauces. All delicious. We had to experiment a little bit though, it would have been nice if the server had explained what each one was. ~I had the Mauie Wowie burger, with the recommended "wild boar burger" and it was fabulous. It comes with turkey bacon, which I think is gross, so in retrospect I should have probably had them hold that or switch for the real stuff ~all of their meats are from hippie-friendly, pasture-raised, etc. etc. animals, so I think that makes it worth the slightly high price for their burgers read more

I went to bareburger a few nights ago. While I enjoyed my meal very much, I was very disappointed to see a server using disposable wipes to wipe down tables. For a chain that calls itself sustainable, how could this be happening? I thought about how many wipes they must go through in a day, and then thinking about the whole chain...that's a mountain of wipes produced daily that is totally unnecessary and unacceptable. Why not use towels and a sani bucket like most restaurants? I feel this disposable wipes usage is in direct conflict with their message, and made me wonder what other unsustainable practices must be going on behind the scenes. Our planet is in crisis right now. There is no excuse for blatant excessive wastefulness. Especially if you want to call yourself a sustainable business. read more

Not sure this chain deserves the love that it often gets. Yes it's all locally grown blah blah blah.The burgers and fries are averagely good at above average prices. When building your own burger you easily get into the $15+ prices. I do like the location and convenience of the restaurant itself. It's pretty kid friendly and they usually have stroller space. Somehow they manage to be busy any time of day including weekdays around lunchtime. I guess everyone else discovered the ease and convenience too. read more

Wait wasn't bad on sat night because their service was quick and active (unlike the 2nd ave Manhattan location). I'm not in this neighborhood a ton, so this rating is really based on how it stacks up to other Bareburger locations. They did a very good job cooking to medium and not overcooking as is the norm nowadays. The jerk chicken sandwich wasn't very flavorful, and it came out so hot the chicken cooked/softened the raw onions, which kind of defeats the purpose. I know part of the appeal is all the crazy meats, but it's ok to ignore them and just get beef. I was told by a friend that works at a different Bareburger that the beef is the best anyway. read more

Visiting Bareburger is the one place where you can order your burger to your liking in every way. You don't need to be that awkward, weird person asking for substitutes or omitting toppings. How many places will let you have an ostrich patty on a tapioca rice bun with grilled pineapple, fried egg, sharp cheddar, brisket bacon and curry ketchup*? Think about it people. If you're not in a booze mood, go with their milkshakes. I usually go with chocolate but one of these days, going to go a little crazy and mix some flavors up. Chocolate & raspberry perhaps? The place itself is lovely and welcoming. Plenty of tables for groups big and small. The tvs show cartoons, which I find highly entertaining and distracting. If Scooby Doo is on the screens, I ain't talking to no one. Convenient location, right on the corner of Court and Atlantic. Given what a fat ass Iam when I eat here, I often do the 15mn walk to Atlantic Terminal. But if that's not your thing, it's a short jaunt to the various nearby subway stations. *Disclaimer: I have not tried ordering this. Just go simple with your burgers. read more
