    Mmmmmmk, I absolutely LOVE me some Bareburger. The menu has countless vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free options that make dining a breeze for dietary restrictions. They offer Impossible burgers, which can easily be substituted on their specialty burger items or your own custom selection. They offer many sides that are gluten-free, something I appreciate, especially when it comes to fries. One of my favorite options is their fried pickles, yum! Dining out ain't cheap, but I think the portion sizes are excellent for the value. One thing I've learned to appreciate from restaurants is consistency in quality, Bareburger definitely meets those expectations. I also love that they offer gluten-free beer on tap, shout out to my Departed Soles drinkers! Every time I visit this location, it's clean and the service is great. I'd also recommend treating yourself to some truffle fries, they can't always be spotted on the menu.

    Very good burgers, fries (and, dare I say, even salad), but a bit on the pricier side for the cost-conscious. Our family swung by on a cold, winter late Sunday morning at around 11:45am ahead of the lunch rush and, since we were so early, we had our pick of tables insides. The restaurant isn't huge, but has plenty of tables and seats still, including a full size bar. In the spring, summer, fall, on those nice, warm days, they can open their garage-style doors to let the breeze flow in .... but not on this freezing day. We were greeted by Zach, as he was our server throughout, and we were immediately presented with their menus, which happened to be on a tablet. We had done our research waayyyyyy ahead of time and one thing that we noticed as we were researching what to eat was how pricey all of the burgers were - granted they do serve grass-fed beef, elk, bison and wagyu - which are rare to come to by, but, nevertheless every burger was anywhere from $9-$24. And, this was JUST the burger without any sides/fries/onion rings. Luckily, we noticed that they had a 4 Wagyu Smashes with Fries deal for $30 listed on their website menu and, for our family of 4, it was pretty much the most economical thing we could order. For our kids, it really didn't matter if they were eating beef, elk or bison, in fact, it probably was more preferable to eat beef, due to the flavor of the meat, so we went with that. Oddly, neither the 4 Wagyu Smashes with Fries deal nor the other Wagyu Smash deal for 2 burgers was not listed on the tablet we were given when we sat down, but we asked if the 4 Wagyu Smash deal was available and they said it was. Can't imagine how many people actually just order 4 Wagyu Smashes and Fries for the full price, which would probably run about $49!!! So, we saved almost $20 just because we knew there was such a burger deal on the menu. However, it did seem like we didn't have a whole lot of fries despite it supposedly being 4 orders. Anyhowwwww, we asked for just 2 of the burgers to be cooked well done, but they ended up making all 4 well done. A bit of a boo boo there. Luckily, the burgers were still VERY, VERY good, despite being overcooked. Can't imagine how much more juicier they would have been if just cooked at medium. The fries were also solid as well. Besides the burgers, my better half also ordered the Jersey Shrimp Salad - small. Once again, the small size wasn't listed on the tablet menu, but we were aware of it because of our research of their online menu. Salad was shockingly really tasty and there were 6 shrimps in the salad. We loved that we had plenty of space with our kids at the time we went. In fact, from the start to the end of our meal, the entire restaurant was just patronized by families with young children. If it did get crowded, which I can imagine it does on Fridays, Saturdays and during the nicer weather months, it could feel a bit tighter. The burgers were very good and so were the fries, but it would absolutely make sense if the restaurant listed the 2 or 4 Wagyu Smashes and Fries deals on the tablet menu instead of just on their website menu. In this day and age, with inflation impacting everyone, it's a bit challenging for every family, even us, to eat at Bareburger considering there are so many more cost-effective options for burgers, but if you don't mind the costs, Bareburger's got your burger craving covered!

    A great family spot for lunch on the less busy side of the street. Like the open, airy interior along with the spacious seating. It was super quick to get seating for lunch at 2pm on a Saturday (basically empty aside from a few tables). The servers were attentive and very accommodating (we had two 3 year olds in our company of 4 adults). Paper, crayons, and lidded water cups immediately disbursed. Menus are iPads. Our food arrived at our table under 7-10 minutes, perfect for very hungry adults. Enjoyed the cheesesteak sandwich and American smash burger with an order of shareable French fries served and a side of ranch. I'm a big fan of smash burgers and glad to try their version of it. It was the perfect portion for me but for others may be a tad on the small side. Cheesesteak was a big portion and perfect amount for my hubby. His drink was also immediately refilled which was quite nice. The regular and sweet potato fries were really tasty. It was too easy to keep going back for more! Didn't partake in the dessert as we already had our eyes set on the Haagen Daz across the street.

    Great service with great food! I haven't been here in years and was happy to see a great lunch special. It includes a sandwich/burger and only & $1 extra for fries and a fountain drink. We stopped coming here as often due to the high prices but these specials have been so reasonable lately. It has become a perfect lunch spot especially on a nice day being able to sit outside and enjoy the Main Street in Ridgewood! I hope the continue to implement these summer promotions!

    Came in on a Saturday, we were seated upon entering. ANGELO was our server. He was friendly and attentive. I ordered the standard burger and the peach bum cocktail. Angelo brought us waters as we waited for our drinks. Once drinks were out our food came shortly thereafter. The drink was okay, I did not taste much peach but it was refreshing nonetheless. The burger was tender, cooked medium, and the grilled onions were flavorful. They have large TVs, a big bar area and outdoor seating. Thanks Angelo!

    My husband and I came here and we decided to sit at the bar. What I really enjoyed about this spot was everything was very fresh it seemed like far to table which we both really love alot. We really don't care too much about the commercialized places. We both decided to get burgers and they were really delicious. The bartender was really nice too and let us order off the happy hour with only 10 mins of it being over , that was really nice of her. We made it just I time before the crowd came in. I definitely recommend coming here and checking this spot out.

    Came in for a super quick bite and the picture of their turkey burger looked sooo appetizing on the menu. I was a bit disappointed after receiving it though. The avocado wasn't even sliced but rather thrown in the middle as a whole chunk - I ended up just slicing it up myself. There was barely any sauce, which I was looking forward to, and made the whole burger very dry. It didn't taste bad but it also didn't taste that great either. Fries were pretty good though!

I think that Mac & Cheese isn't exactly a sophisticated dish to get it wrong. Service is great. There were 2 guys running the tables inside and outside and they were doing an excellent job.

I think I finally found a spot where I can confidently get good pasta AND dessert. My partner and I stopped in this week, and we were immediately met with cool, industrial-style decor and a BOMB playlist. The staff was super friendly and helped a lot with specials and recommendations, as it was our first time. For drinks, we started with a Fig & Melon cocktail and their Old Fashioned. Both were great, but I think the old-fashioned wins over the Fig & Melon. It's smoky and sweet, while the F&M was citrusy and refreshing. To start, we ordered the Mozzarella Sticks Di Bar Mutz with Mutz Hot Honey & Sour Milk. Personally, I am tired of hot honey on everything, haha, so this wasn't for me. If they served it on the side first vs drizzled on top, I probably would have enjoyed it more, as the mozz sticks alone were delicious. The breading was more like a garlic bread than the traditional coating. It also comes with extra hot honey on the side. For our mains, we shared the Spicy Rig and Trottole. Again, both are really good, but the Trottole was the CLEAR winner. The short rib was rich, and the overall dish was perfect for the savory lover like me. The Spicy Rig was lighter, and the bite of pasta with basil was excellent. For dessert, we ordered the mile high espresso martini, affogato martini, which had ice cream they make in-house, and the Samoas cheesecake. Every single thing was delicious! It's a good problem to have when you're dining somewhere, and you're battling it out for who has the best dish. Can't wait to come back and bring friends!

Overall, the food was enjoyable. That said, the pricing felt more in line with a fine dining experience, while the atmosphere and service were closer to an upscale casual restaurant. Some small details, such as the whipped potatoes being served without a serving spoon, stood out. While minor, these details can make a difference, especially at this price point.
