Turkey Burger w/ avacado
Tracy K.

Industrial Vibe standalone store in the lot of a busy Plainview shopping center. Good all around stop for a quick Veggie, Turkey or Regular burger, Salad or Fries. Menu is condensed to variations of those items. Onion rings may be their best claim to fame. A few good sandwich bun options also. Place is clean, staff cool and efficient. No nonsense easy fast bite in a pleasant place to sit for a quick meal. Nothing super wowing but all good.

Ordered Bareburger for my wife and I. My foods decent. My wife's food was not. If you want a moldy multigrain bun or whatever this is in the picture, this place is for you!

Build own burger & sweet potato fries

I always liked this place! I havent been in a long time and recently went to pick up some lunch and ordered the 4oz organic grass fed beef burger on a brioche bun with alfalfa sprouts, lettuce, tomato, and red onion. I opted for farm style cheddar cheese on my burger. My side over consisted of delicious cooked to perfection sweet potato fries & a side of organic catchup. Overall, easy ordering online for pickup and great food.

Okay, I have been wanting to try this place since I first saw them open and just never had the chance because I'm not always in Plainview. Today was that day.. I went there just shortly after 1 PM on a Thursday for lunch. There were two of us I ordered a standard burger which comes with Colby cheese and caramelized onions and my husband ordered a bison burger which he customized with his toppings. We ordered onion rings and french fries and garlic aioli and two drinks. The server was friendly although I could see she was clearly very inexperienced, if not, then not good at her job. Our table was really dirty I cleaned it with the water that they put down and whatever napkins I could get from around me the floors around us and under all of the tables was very dirty with food debris. That was a turn off which I only noticed after we had ordered or I would've walked out. They were only two customers in the restaurant there was no reason that they were cleaning the stations. That said I cleaned off my table assumed it was an off day for the staff and looked forward to the meal. When the food came. The garlic aïoli and the onion rings were not present. She did bring me the sauce but then informed us that they had no onion rings so that was kind of a disappointment since we should've been told before the meal was served that something we ordered was out of stock. Maybe we would we like to change it to something else then, but not once the food was already served. Into the meal the burger I had was bland and well done (I ordered Medium) and it turns out that I got the bison patty with all my toppings and my husband got the beef burger that I ordered for with his customized toppings. My soda also had barely any syrup in it so it tasted like seltzer with just a slight hint of flavoring. All in all I love the concept of this place we just weren't blown away today and maybe it's an off day. I don't know if we would go back we're not in the area that often and it wasn't anything memorable. If we ever were to try it again it would be a different location I think.

Ranchero
Vanessa H.

Pretty decent burgers, very average service. Nothing to write home about. The interior/exterior design was unique and had a fun vibe though. They started us off with popcorn in a bag? Interesting but ok! I ordered the single ranchero and a large side order of fries. The wait for the food was abnormally long, especially since there was barely anyone else eating lunch inside. When I got the burger, it looked plain and a little sad. But after I tried it I was surprised that it had a lot of flavor! The patty was juicy, the bun was soft, and the light sauce they used was a great touch. Not too heavy or creamy. The fries looked plain as well, but yet again, they were pretty good. Overall, the experience was alright!

It was my first time here and I will definitely be back, the Resturant ambiance is so lovely and comforting. My server Kaitlyn was such a pleasure with guiding me what to order .With Pavan behind the bar my martinis came out phenomenal, i had to have a 2nd round . The night was busy for take out and the new guy Evan was giving outstanding customer service to the delivery guys. Working in a restaurant as well you tend to listen in on everyone's service to see what it's like from a customer's perspective. 10/10 I will be back for that Spicy Paul Bunyan . Food was so goodddd I forgot I had a phone to take photos of my food . Thank you Bareburger Fam.

The food was just ok and the service was horrible and before we came into the restaurant we saw two huge rats just going in and out of the restaurants . They really didn't care about us they cared about other people who where dining and only cared for a tip or Cheque. Not what I expected from a local place

BL Turkey Burger
Jessica A.

Decided to try somewhere new to me, because I had never eaten here before. Always heard great things about here but always kept forgetting to go. Yesterday I ordered the BL Turkey Burger with a double patty and my boyfriend got the El Rancho burger. We decided to split a little thing of fries between us. The Turkey burger was tender, juicy, the bacon was smoky and had avocado which was so fresh and delicious. It did have a light honey mustard on it which I did enjoy very much! My only complaint was that the burger was very messy and hard to keep together on the bun. Otherwise this was a very scrumptious burger and I'll definitely be coming back here again!

The Standard
Gail B.

Today was my second visit to Bareburger's Plainview location when I came here for lunch and sat at the bar. The first visit was last month when I ate at a table with some co-workers. Like I did last month, I had the lunch special. It is a bargain: burger,soft drink and fries. For $13.95, I custom-ordered a Standard: organic grass-fed beef, organic Colby cheese, caramelized onions, dill pickle, special sauce on the side, brioche bun. There was a $1 up charge for the sweet potato fries. The fries were lukewarm and slightly soggy. I like them hot and crisp. Maybe the cook was having a "bad potato day" because the fries were excellent last time. The Standard is the best cheeseburger that I have ever tasted in New York. It rivals the one that I had at The Bull and Finch Pub (Cheers), years ago when I was a college student in Boston. Bareburger is a national franchise, which originated over a decade ago in Queens. Every ingredient in The Standard brought out the flavor of one another. However, it was the caramelized onions that I enjoyed the most. I will definitely return to this restaurant. Every State needs an excellent burger place. Massachusetts has Cheers. New York has Bareburger.

Honey Brussels with classic margarita

This is my favorite neighborhood joint for a quick drink or bite. The people are super friendly especially Davon, Catalina and Katelyn. Their apps and burgers taste great. My favorite app is the Honey Brussels which I pair with a classic marg. I love their happy hours every day till 7pm. Never had a single bad experience so far. They do get crazy busy during the peak hours so I always make it a point to go a little after 6:45 so I can still order happy hour drinks and the environment is a bit calmer. I would highly recommend this place.

Since we were dining in, they gave us a table number and we placed it in the holder so staff know where to bring the food. Our order didn't take very long to arrive to our table, just about 10 minutes. After finishing your meal, you bus your own table. The menu has options for burgers, hot dogs, fries, salads, shakes, floats, and desserts. I ordered a Yellow Label Burger ($13.45) and a Strawberry shake ($6.75). My husband and I shared a Farm Salad ($9.75). The Yellow Label Burger comprises of USDA Prime Beef, homemade fried mac n cheese patty, lettuce, tomato on a potato bun. This was delicious! I liked how after biting into the crispy, breaded exterior it gives way to a hot, molten cheese center that oozes perfectly over beef. The Farm Salad which consisted of spring mix, tomato, blue cheese crumbles, sliced almonds, dried cranberries, and raspberry vinaigrette on the side was also very very very tasty, fresh, and a good portion. The strawberry shake was also very good and had pieces of strawberries. Black Label Burgers pride on only using USDA Prime Angus beef that comes from a single source, Double R Ranch, located in Washington State, a family-owned farm known for its responsible practices and superior beef. You can definitely taste the richness and juiciness of the beef. My husband had the Red Label Burger ($13.25) and the PB&J shake ($7.75). He really enjoyed his meal as well. I really liked the inside decor and the laid back vibes. Black Label Burgers is great for a quick lunch, a night out with friends, or a family dinner. I am looking forward to my next visit.

I liked the local (Long Island) themed decor, friendly service, spacious parking lot, wide variety of self-serve beverages (tangy lemonade - yay!) and nicely padded booths. Definitely a cut above competitors like Shake Shack in that regard. I chose the signature black label burger made with dry aged beef and regular fries. While the hand cut fries were wonderfully crispy and flavorful, the burger was kind of disappointing - not terrible, but the bun tasted stale and the meat was very bland. Also I ordered the burger cooked medium but it came out pink in the center, not my preference for chopped meat. Maybe I ordered the wrong item? I plan to try other menu items in the future to see if they hit my taste buds differently.

We ordered: - Spring Salad (5/5) this tasted so good with the fresh mango, the snap peas, and the carrot ginger dressing. - Faroe Islands Salmon (5/5) I only tasted the rice, and not the salmon itself, but the rice was so good, and I just kept on stealing more from the plate. - Roasted-Half Chicken (4/5) This was my own entrée, and I loved how the chicken was crispy, and I also really liked the garlic mashed potatoes, but the only thing that I did not think worked well with the dish was the swiss chard. I think it would've tasted better with spinach. - Strawberry Cheesecake (4/5) this was surprisingly very light for a cheesecake, we ended up finishing all of it, and the whipped cream was really good. The strawberries were not my favorite, I kind of wish that they were just fresh slices of strawberries, but to each their own.

When I asked Reet about it she just rolled her eyes, walked away, never brought sauce for my son. She then brought us the check. Lol. We never had a manager approach us or anything of that sort, I guess I should've asked myself for the manager but I was trying to be nice and give her a chance to rectify everything but she never did. Nor did she apologize for our experience. Nothing was deducted as a courtesy on the bill either. We didn't bother to say anything, clearly they don't care about their customers or pick and choose who they want to be nice to. We still paid and tipped her 18%. However, customer service is everything. We left feeling so disrespected and ignored. Deplorable service sorry to say. No courtesy whatsoever. A smile goes a long way.

I thought I'd throw some protein on there so added the steak. The steak was not very good so I ended up eating very little of it. Not quite sure what the taste was that the steak was giving off but not something to my liking. Otherwise, this is a terrific salad. The vegetables refresh, they gave you a ton of variety of berries, and the overall size was terrific.

"There's no good BBQ on Long Island," as quoted by Lou of his son, Josh, Founder of Blowin'…read moreSmoke... Until Now. As I craved BBQ for the umpteenth time, I was saddened by my past visits to those Long Island places that claimed bbq but were just neon lights or chain stores or just pure disappointments... and then saw a new place opened just a few months ago that was within striking distance. I couldn't resist - I had to try again... As you drive in, stay vigilant and make the correct turn - you might miss it if you go too fast on Jericho Turnpike. Drive straight down - your reward awaits you on the left. I was greeted by Lou, who runs Prime Time Butcher; he is Father to Josh of Blowin' Smoke. This is a family that knows quality meat - we are talking Generations of Butchers. As I waited for my order, Lou greeted customers that came in by name - they've been there before and he knew exactly what they wanted. (That's always a good sign.) Josh came out to greet me and apologized for the slight delay in my order. I came in on a Tuesday evening, missing the Pastrami days on Wed and Thurs, the Brisket of Fri, Sat, & Sun. So, I did what every other aficionado of BBQ would do - I ordered almost everything else to sample the range of the menu. As I left with my order, Lou asked for my honest appraisal and I promised him I would: Long Island has Good BBQ - and it can be found at Blowin' Smoke. Ask the toughest critics: my teenagers. They DEVOURED everything: pulled pork, St Louis ribs (both sauces), baby back ribs, chicken sandwiches, hamburgers, wings. They looked up and declared this was the best BBQ they've had in NY. And then they asked if we can go back again in the future - oh, yes, we will... My greatest compliment would be this: would I wear a tshirt and hat with the Blowin' Smoke logo on it? The answer is a resounding YES. (I just hope they don't do the stereotypical black color - this place is unlike any other and shouldn't look like everybody else...) Go get yourself some good BBQ at Blowin' Smoke - and make yourself happy that you did.

Rumor has it that they will open a sit down restaurant in December...MAYBE I'll fry again, but there as to be better BBQ around
