Cocktail menu, one side of 2
Judy F.

1ST time customer. All the staff members were polite and pleasant. There's a hostess near the front door and a bartender behind the bar. The waiters and waitresses and even the kitchen stuff were nice and accommodating. It doesn't have all the liquors available though. And the cocktail we selected, they didn't have or couldn't make. There's a dining area and separate bar area. Different ambience in each room, less lighting in the bar area vs more lighting in the dining area. We ordered the fried chicken burger, popcorn chicken and french fries. Each food item came out piping hot and fresh. The prices are comparable to other places in the area.

Ordered a custom burger with organic grass-fed beef with oat milk cheddar, caramelized onion, wild mushroom, sweet pickle and garlic aioli. It's not bad, but it's not mind blowing. The meat quality is decent for the price and I was really surprised they offered dairy free cheese options. The mushroom and onion gave it a nice flavor. But could do without the garlic aioli sauce. Overall the menu was really large and similar so it made it difficult to choose one. Prices are really high but I guess you're paying for the quality of the protein.

Salad that had dressing left out, but old lettuces at the bottom.

I've been craving a smashburger for a minute, and since Forest Hills is still waiting for the greatly anticipated 7TH STREET!!, I searched smash burgers, and Bareburger came up. They have a whole section of their menu dedicated to smash burgers and various options, so I figured this would be a good choice to hold me over. It was not. I'm not sure how you can sell smash burgers while demonstrating you don't even know what a smash is. Should be thin, crispy around the edges, which leads to a cooked through burger. What I received was basically raw, no caramelized edges, and zero taste anywhere. I tried the regular and the truffle. The truffle wasn't even in the room with me, but it did have about 50 huge mushrooms. Just call it a mushroom burger at that point, because truffles and mushrooms are NOT even remotely the same, and are they are not interchangable, so basically false advertising to use the word "truffle" as your burger's name. I had to take all of them off because there were just so many, they were so big, and didn't taste great. There was not even one pepper flake or one salt crystal added to season the beef. Literally tasteless. I upgraded one burger to a meal and got a side salad and water, the salad stating on the menu that it came with green goddess dressing. For almost $30, I got: a tasteless burger, a raw burger, a salad with not dressing, but rotting lettuce pieces instead. Huge disappointment to have given almost $30 to this place. What is even the point of serving people food like this? It only ensures a lost customer.

Two Wagyu Smash burger combo with milk Milkshake
Betty C.

Decided to have a weeknight dinner. Shared a Wagyu Smash burger combo with hubby. Mine was a single while he had an extra patty ($4). He also ordered a coconut milk shake. The server explained that they were 3 oz patties. We had more than enough fries to share and even left some. Oh -- he gave us water and a small serving of popcorn soon after we sat. Happy with the service and the food. Would go back to try the pastrami!

Triple Lindy - Pickle Chips - Wagyu Smash Sliders - popcorn chicken
David J.

Went to Bareburger in Forest Hills and shared a Triple Lindy which included Smash burger sliders, pickle chips, and popcorn chicken. Great value at 18.99. Definitely enough to share with two ppl. Our server was nice, but failed to mention the promotions for Sunday. The restaurant very clean overall with a causal feel.

Went to Bareburger in Forest Hills for an early Sunday night dinner. It's a fairly large spot along Austin Street, when you walk there's a big bar area (where you can also eat), and the dining room with tables and booths is on the other side, separated by a wall. I ordered the smash burger combo ($23 for the burger, fries, and a drink) with a gluten-free bun (+$2) and the special sauce on the side. To my surprise, it came as a double patty, which made it a lot of food. I finished the burger but only managed a couple of fries. The burger was tasty, though not as crispy as a typical smash burger, but still enjoyable. The restaurant was pretty busy, and service was a bit slow, but my server was helpful whenever he came by. The space has an eclectic, fun décor, and although there was music playing, it wasn't loud which I appreciated. Overall, the meal felt well-priced for what you get, and it's a good spot for a casual burger or a healthy and tasty dinner in the neighborhood.

Came here with my husband after work and had a delightful time! Was served by a wonderful waiter who deserves a raise (Erick M) for the hospitality and being awesome at his job. My husband ordered the Wagyu Smash burger and I got the Cali bowl of course because I wanted to be healthy. It was good as I expected and was interested the way the beets were basically puréed. Loved that there were potatoes and everything just works well together. Wagyu burger was so juicy and a bit salty but to be expected with burgers. Was definitely really good and cooked just bite so you're able to savour every bite. Would def return next time! We were full this time but def want to try the milkshake.

Ranchero burger

Had been craving parmesan fries and expected to satisfy it by ordering bareburger, but I was so disappointed by how little parmesan and garlic aioli there was. I could probably count the number of fries that had any sort of sauce on it :( unsure whether this was just a one time miss but for an add-on of 1.95 (in this economy!) for so-called loading my fries with additional toppings... rip

Cheeseburger

My daughter and I had dinner there on a cold and windy night. The place has plenty of seating and there wasn't a lot of people on a Wednesday night. We were told to sit anywhere and a friendly waiter handed us some menus and brought us water and some popcorn. The menu has changed a little since last week came. There is now an option to get the burger on a bed of lettuce. I got the elk burger with blue cheese, kale, and an egg. My daughter got the standard burger medium well done without the pickles. Her burger was simple but full of flavor. It was a solid burger. My elk burger was done medium and it was very juicy. If you had told me it was a hamburger instead of an elk burger I would have never thought it was elk. There was a slight gaminess but the blue cheese hid it well. The lettuce, kale , and tomatoes were very fresh. The food is still good after all these years.

Came here for dinner a few times. The service is always REALLY spotty. I feel like it takes forever for someone to take your order and they never come back and check on you. My brother ordered a burger and it had a hair in it and the server replaced it, but didn't seem apologetic or fazed by it at all. The food here is standard, nothing special but nothing bad either. The happy hour seems amazing. I might check that out and sit at the bar and perhaps there is going to be better service there, but I don't think I would recommend eating here. Station house has way better burgers and service so would definitely recommend getting your food there instead.

I did a delivery of 2 sandwiches recently, and both arrived fresh and packed well. I got the "Aged…read moreto perfection" which was prosciutto, and the "US open fan favorite" which was roasted chicken breast. Both came with generous amounts of meat, not too saucy either which sometimes makes sandwiches soggy. I got the regular sub size which I ate half of. It can easier feed 2 people! I could have done without sundried tomatoes in the prosciutto sandwich but overall it was very delicious. I would get it again, or try a hot sandwich variant next time.

At one time this place was a force...now it's left somewhat of a lackluster feeling all the way…read moredown Austin St. I was in the area for an event and I needed food stat! I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to get a sandwich from Stacked since I haven't had one in a while. I I walked in and waited to be greeted while the staff chatted and gazed at me for about 5ish minutes or so. Finally, I'm acknowledged and asked "what can I get for you". I saw they had a Thanksgiving sandwich called the "Gobbler". I asked how long they would have it as even though it's the November special, sometimes places might make it last through the holidays. When asked I was told "it will be available until whenever November ends". This whole interaction made me feel so unwelcome. It didn't look like there was much going on there in the relm of orders, but it still took them a while to make my sandwich. Finally they bring it to the front counter. Pack it in paper and a paper bag and I'm off. I didn't have much time to eat so I scarfed it down in my car before heading down Queens Blvd. It was very good. Not my favorite, but def has potential. I also feel like, though this is a nice sized sandwich, they were a bit stingy this time around. I would say the star was the stuffing. It just tied everything together. As you all know, I love a good sandwich shop. I wish this was as good as it once was to me. Not sure if I'll give it one more shot just yet.

Queens Blvd with parking!…read more This small mom and pop rocks with the noodles dishes they offer. So far I really dig the garlic flavor vermicelli with chicken. Sticky garlicky smooth is how I'd classify these noodles with spring onion. I also tried the biryani special on weekends which has great umami but the rice was a bit hard for my taste. It may take a while during peak times but the food is great. If you are in a rush, they do take orders over the phone. It's also not often if at all that a restaurant on Queens Blvd has free onsite parking so bring your car too!

I have been meaning to try this place. It's relatively new and I find myself in the area fairly…read moreoften. I finally got the perfect opportunity to stop in yesterday and I wish I had done so sooner. The space is small, but clean and comfortable. I ordered the ginger salad and the rice pancake balls with quail egg and both items were prepared quickly. The ginger salad is incredible. It's like the most perfect salad I've ever eaten. Not exaggerating at all, this is one of the most delicious things I've had this year. I am a ginger lover, but I still wasn't sure what it would be like to eat this much ginger. This dish almost treats ginger like a vegetable and not just a seasoning. The textures of this dishes really make it stand out. There are so many different textures in here that create a complex and fascinating bite. The crisp, finely shredded cabbage and ginger make up the base, which is mixed with various crunchy nuts and seeds and soft juicy pops of diced tomato. The flavors in this dish are intense. This quantity of sinus clearing ginger would be inedible without being held in balance by a good deal of salt and seasoning in the dressing and the rich, earthy savoriness of the nuts and seeds. I was really amazed by this dish. It was outstanding. After the extreme bright salty flavor of the salad, the rice pancake balls don't pack quite the same punch. However, the quail egg in here is cooked beautifully. It came out warm, with a soft jammy center and the white was a soft silky jelly. The whole thing is surrounded by a slightly chewy layer of rice based pancake. The flavor of the rice comes through, and the exterior is slightly crispy. These had so much richness from that egg yolk. It was so savory and comforting even though I've never eaten anything like this before. Really looking forward to my next visit here as I found the two items I tried to be remarkable and outstanding.

This was my second time dining here, and I thoroughly enjoyed it once again…read more After enjoying a delicious meal paired with a fantastic all-jazz performance, I'm already looking forward to coming back. I ordered the short ribs and the five-onion soup again, and both were excellent. The service was spot-on and impressively quick--my food arrived in under 15 minutes. The owner is also really cool; he personally greets guests and makes a point of chatting with the performers to ensure they're comfortable. This is a wonderfully romantic spot. The beautiful flowers add such a nice touch (as I mentioned in my previous review). While it's not fully upscale, it has an elevated, sophisticated vibe that makes you want to dress up for the occasion. Highly recommended!

I had been meaning to try Bloom Botanical Bistro for a while, since it seems to be a neighborhood…read morestaple, and finally stopped in for brunch with a guest from out of town. The floral displays are fun and are probably the highlight of the visit. The space is clearly designed for photos, and I can see why it would be popular for birthdays, showers, or other special occasions. They seem to go the extra mile when it comes to creating a celebratory atmosphere. Service was excellent from start to finish. The staff at reception and at the table were attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Food-wise, we tried the Kung Pao calamari and wagyu meatballs after seeing other reviewers rave about them, but both felt a little gimmicky to me. Our group mostly stuck with more traditional brunch items, including breakfast burritos and omelettes, and those were fine. Overall, I would not necessarily come here just for the food, but I would recommend it for the atmosphere, service, and special-occasion vibe. It is a great spot if you want a pretty setting, good hospitality, and plenty of photo-friendly areas.
