Quiet and cold night, we stopped by for a bite before a meeting in the area, I love the big windows so I can watch people go by, service was to slow for a non busy evenings so we couldn't order appetizers because we were running short on time and you cant say much when you look at the plates but oh boy when you bite those burgers I can tell you how delicious they are , juicy and full of flavor , Next visit will be in the summer so I can sit at the patio.

This is my first time here! The restaurant is located at 160 Glastonbury Blvd, Glastonbury, CT. This place is clean and classy for a burger restaurant. I love the huge booth! I like the vegan options too! To start it out, I'm having a Saratoga sparkling water. I like this stuff! They serve popcorn as s complementary item. It's quite fresh! For my first drink, I'm having a Negroni. This is made with Uncleval's Botanical gin, Campari and sweet vermouth. They use a large ice cube to slow the dilution process. Look at the extra wide glass! Nice garnish. This tastes perfect! For my first item, I'm having the coleslaw made with Parmesan peppercorns. It is served on a cute heavy plastic checkered plate with a small, chilled metal bowl and is quite good! I hear Elvis in the background. For my next item, I'm having the Guacamole (spicy version) which comes with fresh tortilla chips. Guacamole is a popular Mexican dip, spread, or salad made from mashed avocado, lime juice, and salt, often mixed with cilantro, onions, and tomatoes. Will you look at that presentation! That's unbelievable! This spice has kick! Those chips are HUGE! They're crunchy and yummy! The guacamole is very fresh. For my entree (burger), I'm having the Impossible Classic Chix. I hear the Jackson Five. This burger is made with Impossible Chicken, oak milk cheddar, Roma tomato, dill pickle and spicy green goddess sauce. That's a lot of ingredients I've never had. I've never tried Impossible Chicken before. I'm also adding a side of xxx-reaper hot sauce. I love the huge wooden stake. The plate and food is nice and warm. I've also asked for a flaxseed keto bun. I love it! Great presentation too especially with the checkered white and yellow paper. The bathrooms are clean and smell nice! The sauce isn't extremely hot, but it's good enough to satisfy me. That's a fantastic burger! Wow! For my last drink, I'm having a Paper Plane. This is made with Buffalo Trace bourbon, Aperol, Amaro and lemon. It's nicely garnished, well balanced and tastes great! This is a fantastic place! read more

Bareburger - Glastonbury - Fast Food Near Me - Glastonbury, Connecticut

I stopped by Bareburger after my optometry appointment on a Friday for lunch. It wasn't busy, so ordering was quick and I was able to dine in comfortably and take a few meetings. Since it was my first time, the young lady at the register walked me through the menu and suggested the lunch special, which comes with a side and a drink. I went with the "My Sunshine" burger instead of the impossible to try something new. My food came out in about 6-7 minutes and the burger was decent overall. I did expect it to be at least a 8/10 but it was more so a 6/10, however, the service more than made up for it. The entire team, including management, was incredibly welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed throughout my meal. The diner itself is very clean and well maintained, with plenty of parking. Prices give old-school burger joint vibes, which is definitely appreciated in this economy. Overall, a solid lunch spot with standout service. read more

We recently tried bareburger and it was great. They have gluten free fryers, which is awesome, and most of the menu is gluten free. They're also attentive to other allergens. The staff is super friendly. We ordered the spicy chicken sandwich, a burger, some fries, and the pickle chips. I loved the chicken sandwich, the burger was great. Pickle chips were bread and butter, which I wasn't expecting, but they were good. Fries were delicious. I also enjoyed their sauces. Plenty of food, although it was on the pricier side for a burger and fries. All in all, I'd definitely return to bareburger! read more

Bareburger - Glastonbury - Fries and fried pickles - Fast Food Near Me - Glastonbury, Connecticut

Decided to try this burger place using our Groupon. The smash burger was delicious with added bacon , cheese and onion. Anthony was our friendly and helpful waiter. He suggested a single might not be enough but with the fries it was an ample size. My husband had the spicy steak sandwich .. he reported it was very spicy and big enough for him to take 1/2 home. For an extra dollar he could add fries and a soft drink. It was mid afternoon so the place was fairly empty. Hopefully it will do well as the food was freshly prepared and above average for a burger place. read more

Good quality, great service, funky vibes, very pricy. Came to this location for the fun of it, remember the burger place that use to be here and hoped these guys were as good. Coming in, it's very funky diner vibes. Checkered floors, bright wallpaper, big booths and random art on the walls. The servers were very friendly and attentive. No one person was assigned to a table, and everyone was helpful in their own way. It was almost overbearingly so, a type of "bury them in kindness" situation. We ordered pickle chips and a wagyu burger as the sweet bison blues . Got the combo, with a hibiscus refresher and truffle style fries. Food comes out at a reasonable pace. Took pics and dug in. The pickle chips were bread and butter chips. So they were oddly sweet. Normally one would expect a dill pickle, so the flavor combo was unexpected but still pretty good. Ranch dipping sauce was generic, didn't work with the chips. The burger was very well executed. Perfect med rare and very juicy. They seasoned it with an earthy seasoning blend, but was really lacking salt. The burger was advertised in having bacon jam and caramelized onions. They were on the burger but in very tiny quantities. This would be okay if the blue cheese didn't overpower the toppings and dominate the flavors. This was solved with an extra side of bacon jam, which helped mellow the cheese out. The truffle fries were also executed well. Good Parmesan, very crispy and golden brown. The truffle salt was added on top of the normal levels of salt, making for a very salty fry with very little to no truffle flavor. Good as Parmesan fries, not as truffle fries. Price wise, the meal was pricy. The chips and burger combo coming out to about 55 dollars. It's good quality, and the base cook of the items is good, but with the execution faults it does make the price a more glaring issue. An important note: make sure to pay using the scanner and avoid paying via the QR codes on the tables. The QR codes impose a service fee and the tip amounts include the service fee in that calculation. Fairly confident the owner is unaware of this and has yet to correct, but it's a flaw in their current payment system As a burger shop in that area, it caters to those looking for an upscale burger joint. It's good for where it is, but it's not great enough to trek to and not taking the throne of the other burger joints in driving distance. read more

"Bare trees, grey light Oh yeah, it was a cold night" (Fleetwood Mac) They have over 30 locations spread across the northeast in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and one lone wolf hunkered down in Ohio. We found them in the prestigious and highly coveted "Center of the Wheel" location in Glastonbury's fashionable Somerset Square complex. So if you can find a parking spot anywhere on the wheel's circumference, you are seconds away from one of Bareburger's two entrances. Bareburger took over the space formerly occupied by B. Goode among other predecessors. This is a sit-down restaurant with table service, and our first impression was that the interior of the space is gorgeous. Black and white checkerboard floor tiles, a black and white tiled bar, teal-colored booths and benches, two sleek rows of counterspace, funky pop art style spirally wallpaper, and the most bizarrely decorated bathroom (unisex, BTW) ceiling I ever saw - repeated oval portraits of the Mona Lisa. We were greeted and seated pretty fast with a bag of complimentary popcorn and a big bottle of water for our table. Their menu is deep, with beef, Wagyu, bison, elk, and vegan burgers, sandwiches, cheesesteaks, tacos, sides, shareable apps, salads, milkshakes and kiddie meals. We ordered an American Smash burger ($7.49) and I accepted their option to customize my very own burger ($12.95) by choosing a black bean poblano patty, steamed collard green wrap, habanero pepperjack cheese, lettuce, tomato, alfalfa sprouts and Nashville hot sauce. We split a side of fries that was great. A big portion of piping hot extra delicious fries. I really enjoyed my Vegan burger patty. It had a solid texture and had plenty of flavor. And I was surprised at how tender the steamed collard green wrap was. I want to give a shout out to Duane, the manager who was a real joy to chat with. He gave us a history of the restaurant and learned it's just been open for 20 days and just expanded their lunchtime hours to include evenings. With their outdoor patio space, and a bar, I think they'll be quite the destination when the weather warms up. We all know that new restaurants experience growing pains, and that exposed some improvement opportunities to us. When we were seated, we were the fourth table occupied. A fifth table was seated after us, and their order was taken before we even saw a server. At the 22-minute mark we still were waiting with menus on our table and flagged down Duane who took our order. Our bill was a very reasonable $28.28 for a great lunch. But there was some confusion when we declined to upgrade our burgers to a combo meal (we didn't want two orders of fries and drinks) and just ordered one side of fries. Well, that was added to the bill as a confusing single combo upgrade, which turned out to be great because it cost less than a single order of fries would have, and we ended up taking a drink to go. But it would have been better to have explained this at the beginning because we would have split that Diet Coke at the table instead of taking it on a ride home. Anyway, we really enjoyed the Bareburger Experience and hope to visit again when in Glastonbury. read more

I received some coupons in the mail for Bareburger, but unfortunately on my way there I forgot to bring them. Bareburger is located in Somerset Square in Glastonbury. They have a really nice outdoor patio which is where we sat when we arrived. We were given a complimentary bowl of popcorn when we arrived. Since this is primarily a burger place, they have a ton of burger options in the menu. I selected the Cali Bowl. There's no burger here, but it was still substantial with the ingredients. This bowl featured, avocado, cauliflower rice, beet hummus, tomato, black beans, baby kale and sunflower seeds. The others in my party ordered burgers. I also got a Paloma for my cocktail. Now, here's the big problem, after we placed our orders, the waitress was NEVER seen again. 40 minutes went by, no drinks, no water, no food, no word about what happened. Another server comes out, asking if we placed our orders. "Yes, a while ago" I told him. He says he'll check. He comes back with a bit of a story. He says, after we placed our orders, their system went off WiFi and our order was lost. Ok, things happen, but why did the waitress never say anything, and why did we wait for so long, for an update, yet alone any service? Eventually their WiFi was back on, and they could see the orders... I'll have to say my Paloma was very refreshing, grapefruity and tasty. My bowl was a bit too dry, even with the dressing, it was very heavy on the rice. No one was impressed with the burgers. We weren't offered any type of compensation at all. I will for sure never return here again. read more

I'm in some food chats. Earlier this week, my friend Dawn said Bareburger finally opened in Glastonbury. I'm rarely stumped in Hartford County, but Bareburger was completely off my radar. Bareburger seems to be a small national franchise with locations in states such as New York, New Jersey, Ohio and CT. The Glastonbury one is located in Somerset Square across from Munson's. There is table service and I also suspect that they'll do a robust takeout and delivery service business. The atmosphere is modern and nice. Bareburger's website uses buzzwords like sustainable, ethical and organic. They have burgers (including ones made with some alt meats like Bison and Elk); bowls with ingredients such as cauliflower rice; fries, Brussel sprouts and cauliflower tempura. We ordered each of things. My Single Elkasaurus burger was made with ground elk and topped with bacon, sautéed mushrooms and onions, cheddar and "smoke sauce". I chose brioche. I liked this burger. It was a bit chewier than beef. I liked the toppings especially the mushrooms and Smoke Sauce, which was like a BBQ sauce. The bread to burger ratio leaned to bread heavy, but you can get a double burger for an additional charge. Among our remaining orders, the skinless classic cut fries were about average, the cauliflower tempura was substantial and satisfying and the Brussel Sprouts were good. I also ordered an Agua Fresca that I think was orange cardamom. It was decent. Not my favorite this month. I'm not factoring this into my score since they're new. About 25 minutes passed from when I ordered in the store and received my takeout order. Some of the food finished early and sat while the other food was being prepared. Not ideal, but the temperature could have been worse. I would return to Bareburger, but I prefer other nearby options for most of what I might get at Bareburger. 3.5 Stars read more

I received a coupon for a free wagyu burger for signing up for their mailing list months ago. So when I received an email that they were now open I decided to head over! What I didn't realize was I arrived on opening day O_O All things considered, it seems like they had a really good flow going even for their first day open. Seemed to be owners/managers buzzing around but I would say everything appeared to be running very efficiently. Decor was really nice and fun. The space is on the small side but doesn't feel like everyone is sitting on top of each other with booths, tables, and high top seating available. Going into this I was expecting a fast food kind of vibe (think five guys, shake shack etc) but upon arrival I was actually shown to a seat for table service - caught me off guard! I had a few diff people help me but they were all super pleasant. They began by placing a water bottle and glass for me as well as complimentary popcorn. Great snack while I looked over the menu. The wagyu smash burger was really good!! The fries were average. I was expecting something unique for $7. I wish my waitress gave me the option to make it a meal since I would have received fries and drink for only a few dollars more but I guess that's what I get for using a coupon. So here's my take: with so many burger options out there, it's hard to find a market for this kind of restaurant. I realize there's more to the menu than just burgers but it feels like fast food, looks like fast food, but isn't fast food. So now on top of whatever your food costs you now have to consider the cost of adding a tip as well. In that case, why not just go somewhere else? I'm not sure how to feel - as nice as the place is and as good as my burger was it's a hard sell and I probably won't feel inclined to return. read more

We tried bareburger and thoroughly enjoyed it! Everything (including the fryers) are gluten free!!! The burger was flavorful and the chicken was juicy and the right kind of spicy!! We also got fried pickles that had great crunch and fries that were yum!! The staff were super kind and helpful and open about sharing their food protections! They also have their own version of a lemon lime soda that was very delicious!! read more

2.5 stars. We got the American wagyu smash burger, the classic wagyu smash burger, the classic fried chicken sandwich (classic chix), fries, and a root beer. The American smash burger was overloaded with sauce, but the sauce didn't have much flavor. Neither did the burger. Those are my opinions though. My partner thought this one was decent. The classic smash burger was my favorite of the sandwiches. I liked the sauce. I still feel like it was lacking in flavor though. The chicken sandwich was even more overloaded with sauce. And it wasn't crispy. To be fair, we got delivery, but we have gotten delivery from many other fried chicken sandwich places and it was still crispy when delivered. And the sauces were too sweet. It's possible the overloading of sauce added to the lack of crisp because the whole thing was kind of soggy. The fries and soda came as a combo with one of the burgers. Fries were fine, lacking in spice/salt. The soda was great, it was a cane sugar brand, "Maine Root". Tasted similar to stewarts or IBC. Overall, the food was edible, but we are not itching to return. read more

Food was mid at best. They have generic sodas and condiments which really make me question what other corners they cut. The burger was salty and had very little flavor even with their sauce. The steak sandwich was dry and flavorless. The service was slow even though the place was dead. That's a one and done. read more

Brand new place in Glastonbury CT. I was amazed by the many options for the Burgers, Sandwiches, Tacos, Cheese steaks appetizers and shakes, a ton of. Vegan choices as well. The place was very busy but we got in and seated pretty quickly. We have ordered the Two Wagyu Smash burgers with fries and a Vanilla milk shake. You get a bag of popcorn for the table to munch on while you wait for your meal. The Vanilla shake was delicious and perfectly made with pure vanilla ice cream. The wagyu smash burgers were made to perfection and tasted really good. There is a lot to try here and will definitely come back with a bigger appetite. Ordered the All natural popcorn chicken to go, and it is amazing as well. The place has plenty of seating, booths bar style tables and also serve drinks beer and wine. Decently priced for the area. Recommend this place for great and a variety of burgers in town. Will be back pretty soon, want to try more of their dishes. read more

I wasn't impressed at all. Over priced, blah food and horrible music. The only good point was the server.

Staff was nice but food was slow to come. My sweet potato fries were slightly burt and my husbands burger was cold. Probably won't return with so many other options near by read more

I generally only write reviews if: a) I've had more than 1 positive, repeated experience, and b) there are exceptional marks across the board. Bareburger has the best burger (Buckaroo) I've had in many years. I've also tried the fries, onion rings, pastrami, milkshake, and fried jalapeño cheese sticks. None of these things are considered health foods, but you don't feel like you've eaten a bunch of processed or greasy food afterwards. Service has been great with everyone I've interacted with and the atmosphere is great, whether that's indoor or outdoors. They're new to Glastonbury (just like me) and absolutely worth checking out - can't go wrong, especially with such a great menu, people, and setting. 11 out of 10 read more

First time here and the food was great. Quick service too! Had the bison blues burger and it was great. We'll be back for sure!

Brand New restaurant in Somerset Square Glastonbury Ct. My party of three arrived at 12:05pm. We were seated right away. I exclaimed loudly we have to be back at the office at 1:00PM. We sat down looked at menus. Someone brought over three glasses and water and disappeared. We waited 15 minutes for someone to take our orders. I said again we MUST be back at the office at 1PM. We placed our orders 1) Americana gluten free bun French fries & diet cola 2) Classic Chix spinach wrap sweet potatoes fries black tea 3) Standard Burger no bun sweet potatoes fries black unsweetened tea 12:45 our food arrives. We devoured it. Everyone said it was tasty. 1 pm I am waiting to pay our bill. The waitress big smile gives me the device and tells me how to use it and leaves. I tried several times and in frustration our party is headed to the door. I asked the manager how am I supposed to pay with a credit card and add 18% tip?? He shows me. It's done. I asked for a printed receipt. We were LATE for the 1pm meeting. Luckily the client was later than us. Food is good. UNFORTUNATELY we had to RUSH our food into our bellies and leave in 12 minutes. read more

I have gotten take out from here. They are friendly and nice inside. The food was really good. Will be going back soon

Great burgers, great atmosphere. Ask for Steve!! It's the old location for B. Good Burgers in Somerset Square. Great selection of food items, including burgers (obviously), but also other cool things like rice bowls and salads! 2 big screen TVs, large booths and a window bar for solo or couple diners completes the aviance. Check it out! read more

10/10 from service, to food, to ambiance. Love bareburger! Shakes are good. Love the fact that they have vegan and regular options

Great service and burger options! Plenty of vegetarian options. I enjoyed the ambiance.

Delicious both times I've been here. Servers are friendly and funny! I have had the wagyu smash and the buffalo chicken sandwich. I've also tried their popcorn chicken/chicken nuggets and they were good. fries are great, will be a regular! read more

I never write reviews unless my experiences are either incredible or horrendous, and I came to this app too quickly after my experience at the new Bareburger in Glastonbury. We went during the soft launch around noon on a Sunday. My party was sat and served waters immediately. The service was amazing and the staff were very helpful with learning the menu and offered genuine food suggestions. The food and drink menus are much larger than expected, and they have a full range of options covering all dietary needs, which was a pleasant surprise. Even their fried chicken is gluten free! We ordered the honey brussels sprouts to start and split an order of 4 smash burgers (which they labeled as slider size LOL). The brussels were some of the best we've had: very light, but still crispy and delicious. The Wagyu smash burgers were DELICIOUS and had a very unique taste compared to what we have around here and so flavorful. I'm very picky about my fries, but these were perfectly cooked and seasoned, and they paired perfectly with their house-made ranch. YUM! We will be coming back to try probably everything else on the menu. read more

Had the elkburger, so flavorful. Sauce on the side. It was a high quality gourmet burger well priced. The popcorn chicken was so fresh and moist. The truffle & parmesean fries to die for. The buffalo sauce was so beautifully seasoned. I had a combo that included a Mexican Cola made natural ingredients. Highly recommend! read more

We went to Bareburger for lunch . The waitress came over quickly and other people came in after us . She took our order and many of the people that came in after us were served and had eaten before we got our food .We waited almost an hour . We were told the kitchen was backed up yet others were served before we were . We will not go back .Poor service mediocre food . read more

Not bad. The hamburgers are quite messy to eat, so consider your attire. High quality ingredients. Fast service. Glad they have booze. Menu(s) are confusing and take a lot of time to figure out what is going on. I Got frustrated trying to figure the menu out and just took a swing at a menu item. They have Gluten Free, keto, vegan and all sorts of other special diet considerations, which is nice. It's basically a California-ized version of five guys. Will return if I'm in area again but won't seek it out. read more

The food from here was horrible and the customer service was horrible. Fake vegan products. They don't care about their customers. No stars for this place. I am so upset and disappointed as a vegan/ vegetarian . read more

I'll start by reviewing the food we received, which was quite delicious. No bad marks, honestly. Great beef, tasty brioche and well built in all ways. 2 stars because they forgot the bacon I paid an additional $2 or whatnot for as well as the fries, onion rings and drink on another. Unacceptable. Yes, we should have checked the bags as we left, but we slipped up. I'm a bit annoyed, but we will come back again and here's hoping it's just a one-time fluke. read more

The food was soooo good and hot when I got it home! I was greeted as I walked in and the staff/owner were very friendly!

The 'Going back to Cauli' was very good the Jalepeño BQ sau e was good but too rich?, dipping would have been better. The Waygu burger was awesome with mushrm onion and Swiss cheese. Great dipping sauce also mayo based with oinons pickles etc. read more

Staff was super friendly and helpful. Very accommodating and the restaurant had a warm glow.

I have been there three times since they've opened. I've enjoyed my meals each time. Twice for takeout, the burgers were still hot when I got to my office. Also, the food was ready on time for all visits. read more

First time going and here is what I have to say. Loved the friendliness of the staff and manager!!! Seems like a very dedicated bunch. I am assuming they are experiencing newbie pains as margaritas took a very long time and were too sweet oh and when you order Mezcal you expect to rate that smoky flavor, we didn't so not sure they even put an oz in there. The flavored shakes that are $10 each just tasted like vanilla, not strawberry or the salted caramel that was ordered. Chicken app to shared, loved. Wagyu smashed double was amazing? Just how I liked it!!! Onion rings huge, the breadcrumb kind.. on the bland side which was surprising with the seasoning on it but you do have saucy sides and salt helped. I thought we would order at counter but u sit and get waited on and everything took a very long time to come out and the bill was a lot higher than expected for the atmosphere and takeout-type vibe but I really did appreciate the food quality and next time maybe just get waters as drinks were a fail lol read more

received the wrong to go order. manager assured me I would get a refund. refund never came. I had to go into restaurant to demand refund.
