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.

Fries and fried pickles

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!

Menu - taco/cheesesteak

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.

"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.

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.

Inside

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

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.

Burger and Chicken Sandwich

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!!

There's no Happy Hour here and the mixed drink menu has no prices. For my first drink, I'm trying the Mine Hill Manhattan made with Mine Hill bourbon, Mine Hill Amaro, cherry (garnish?) and Angostura bitters. This tastes great! Nice Amarena cherry garnish too. We are trying the Nacho Platter made with tortilla chips, melted cheese, pinto beans, tomatoes, black olives, scallions, sour cream and fresh salsa. This is a big plate! These are really good! I am having the Thai Lettuce Wraps with chicken). You can also have panko fried avocado. It is also made with carrots, charred chickpea quinoa salad (red bee honey from Weston, CT), sesame noodles, cucumbers, bibb lettuce and crushed peanuts. They use a house made Thai peanut Asian ginger and orange ginger sauces. This is real good! It's light and easy to eat. For my last drink, I'm having the Peach Mint Whiskey made with Ole Whiskey Peach Whiskey, ginger beer, fresh mint, lime juice, agave nectar and a lime garnish. The mug is nice and cold.

Their kitchen is built fresh, from scratch, and all homemade. Their appetizers, pasta, entrees and desserts combine old-world traditional Italian flavor with a modern flair for presentation, and the freshest ingredients around. Menu staples like calamari, chicken milanese, fettucine carbonara and ravioli are paired with unique recipes like pappardelle with sausage and tenderloin steaks. They have staffed our kitchen with a dream team of local chefs that ensure our quality does not waiver and our kitchen is always OPEN! You just can't go wrong. For my drink, I'm having the Prickly and Sparkly made with Quince Fruit Spirit, fruitful Prickly Pear, lemon juice and Prosecco. This is very original. I have no idea what this will taste like! It's nicely garnished and chilled. I love the unique taste. It's like a sweet Cosmo with Prosecco. It's real good! For my appetizer, I'm having a cup of chili. I can't each much chili so just a little will do me fine! I like the crackers for a little filler. I like the sour cream topping with a little chives garnish. It's nice and hot too. This is good!

She certainly knows how to make a drink let me tell you that! For my entree, I'm having the Chicken Aka Vodka made with grilled chicken breast served with traditional vodka sauce, peas, sun-dried potatoes and rigatoni topped with a crispy prosciutto and Parmesan (light for me). You can also get this gluten-free. Carmines tries to accommodate everyone! For me? EXTRA EXTRA spicy! Let's see how this goes. This is a MASSIVE dish! I mean o! It's piping hot too! It's very tasty! The grilled chicken is sliced up into smaller, bite-sized pieces. Very light Parmesan (as requested). It's not "hot" (as in spicy), but they can only work with they have!
