Emma Jade K.

Weirdest experience of my life. I've been in the service industry for years at this point, and never been treated like such an inconvenience. My friend and I get seated and he asks for a dirty soda, the woman who sat us said she doesn't take orders and our server would be over in a second, but she'd put it in. She sure doesn't. Oh well, whatever. We start looking at the menus and our server is explaining how the menu works to both tables on either side of us. He doesn't come to us for another 5 minutes at least. My friend orders a hefeweizen beer from the beer list. 10 minutes go by and the beer isn't there. Come to find out, after trying to make eye contact and flag our waiter down for that whole 10 minutes that they don't even have that beer anymore. Ok. Sure. We order. He gets the bison blues and I get the two smash burger deal, I ask how big they are, he says oh they're not. Just a potato bun. Ok I'm thinking 2 will be fine. I get them med well. Food comes out, I have 2 McDonald's quarter pounder looking burgers. They're huge and I don't even think there's salt on them. They're also like 1/4 inch thick (which isn't a smash burger btw) and completely pink in the center. Idk how you even do that with a burger like that, likely frozen. After trying to eat around the pink but being generally disgusted by how soft and unflavorful it is I just give it back to our server, I tell him I just can't eat it and he takes it back. We do not see him again. We pay on the QR code and are on our merry way. He did take off my burgers which was nice (albeit expected at this point) but honestly I can't see myself returning. It was busy inside but we counted 3 (probably) servers and a bartender in the tiny place. It was also like 2/3pm on a Sunday.

Impossible smash burger

My burger felt super small! Or is that just me?? It was delicious and my truffles fries were too. I ordered a skinny margarita to wash it all down. My server was great even though it was super busy. The staff treated me well and the restaurant was well maintained. Maybe next time I'll grab a milkshake.

Sweet Potato Fries

I haven't had a burger at a sit-down restaurant in awhile so I was interested in coming to Bareburger. Originally I thought Bareburger would be more of a fast-casual place like 7th Street Burger so it surprised me quite a bit as I realized it was an actual restaurant. We had to wait a bit in the beginning as the 2 waiters were pretty busy clearing up all the tables, but despite the lack of personnel, they were very efficient which I was very impressed with. - The National - This was a pretty typical burger with bacon. I did appreciate the slightly warmed-up pickles that helped balance out the hefty meaty flavors. I can't say this burger was very memorable however, it tasted like a less greasy version of 7th Street Burgers. - Sweet Potato Fries - Surprisingly there was a huge quantity of these fries. Their fries are top-notch as they are all crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I didn't need any additional sauces as the flavors were very evident throughout. Overall, okay place for burgers. I felt like it was a little expensive as 2 burgers, 1 milkshake, and 1 side came out to be $50+ at the end.

Truffle fries

Wanted to check out this place since they're partners with one of our CC companies (Bilt), which gives 10x points here on the weekdays. Speaking of which, I'd strongly recommend coming here on the weekdays since it's packed with families and kids on the weekends. Btw, don't use the the QR code for paying if you can help it. It costs an extra 89 cents. They're abysmally slow and definitely need to increase staffing (there were only 4 staff members in the entire restaurant). We waited simply to get our order in for about 20 minutes and it took another 20 to get our food; probably could've gone elsewhere. They didn't even give us napkins or utensils; we had to grab them ourselves. Food-wise, it's fine. I don't think the food here is overpriced but it's not exactly cheap either. The Paul Bunyan was tasty, albeit a bit small. I'd say the Truffle Fries aren't worth the price; save the $10 and make it yourself. I do like that they provided free popcorn, and the napkins were thick. Overall, I would only come back because this place is nearby.

bacon ranch fries

i ordered spicy bacon ranch style fries and theres one bacon and no ranch?? as shown in the photo it is so dry tears. dont order that but maybe their burgers are good !

Spicy Paul Bunyan well done

I saw this place based on google reviews and they were really good, so I'm shocked the reviews are so low here. We came here with a group of 4. We spent a long time looking at the menu, and it did take quite a bit of time for them to take our order, about 15 to 20 minutes. This was my only complaint, but I didn't mind too much because our server was very helpful and sweet, and did apologize for the wait. I ordered the Spicy Paul Banyan, and it had the perfect kick. It was my first time having a bison burger and I liked it. I really couldn't tell that it wasn't beef though. The patty was a bit bland compared to other burgers I've had, but the sauce and the jalapeños really brought it all together. The brioche bun was a nice addition. I got the truffle fries and they were delicious. My husband had the sweet bison wagyu sliders. Those were bomb, the blue cheese added a great salty flavor, and the wagyu was delicious. He also had a PB caramel shake that was so good. It was so thick and creamy and I could taste all the flavors. I recommend this place if you want a good solid burger and a variety of options. I wish I could have tried them all.

I ordered a veggie black bean burger, fries, and a margarita. It was a bit busy so it took a while for drinks to come out (they came after the food). Regardless, the food was fairly good and the server was friendly. The margarita was a tad too sweet, but the variety (including mezcal options) that they had was pleasantly surprising for a non-Mexican restaurant

bro look at this it genuinely looks sad asf- wagyu cheeseburger idgaf
Caitlynn Y.

NOOOOO not the millennial burger joint that my friend is scared of. so if they were so scared why did they recommend it for us to get for dinner. it was literally a mile away so we ran there. like bro i was wearing my converse why did you want to run. oh well. we ran and i wasn't that tired which is awesome cuz that means my training is working and my friend was in cross country and out of breath i wonder what that means. anywaysssss we got there and ordered. i got this wagyu thing for like $12 and my friend got like fried chicken and then my other friend didn't want to come with us and ordered online. we ended up waiting like 30 mins for the food which was long and the vibes were lowkey weird. like they seemed mean. once we got our food we ran all the way back and it was cold af so by the time we ate the food it was cold af. but then my wagyu came with fries and bro it just looked so sad. and honestly it tasted bad too. i will never go again cuz why was that mid af and i ran all the way there for THAT. 2 stars bro bffr.

Great burger place to dine in or take out! I usually go to the location at FiDi but this was my first time at upper west side! Usually order the bison or elk burgers! What's good about these burgers is that they're all natural and organic! A bit pricey but with the try!! They have many sauces too!!

Emma M.

I loved the experience but was a little disappointed that they didn't have the Wagyu burger anymore though it might have just been a temporary promotional thing. I ended up ordering a cheeseburger with veggies in a collared green wrap. It was delicious though they forgot the cheese and I had to add in my own mozzarella. I always love ordering from Bareburger, and it was nice to try something new for a change. I usually order the gluten-free bun which is also nice, but I'm glad that I went with the collared greens this time around. The burger was pretty good, and I'm happy with my order, as are my parents who ordered the elk and the impossible patty. They also gave so many pickle slices when we asked for extra pickles on the side which was generous.

The Supreme! I take some home these days. Posted with review for 02/13/21.

First, the name - I was wondering if this was a chain since I know one in Fort Lee, and a new one sprang up on 9W/Sylvan Ave. in Englewood Cliffs... and the lady told me they're all independently owned under same "theme/name." Ok, now that we got that out of the way... (asked nobody ever but still) THEY ARE BACK after closing for a month due to Coronavirus, now for a week. The owner lady told me people still think they're closed, so I wanna get the word out there to come SUPPORT your local business! PLACE - Bright and meticulously clean with well laid out menu items. Poke isn't on their circulated menu so took a picture with updated pricing. FOOD - I ordered Tuna poke and Spicy Salmon poke ($14 ea.) and I was not disappointed. There was a sushi chef on premise working with chunks of sashimi fish preparing orders. When I got home to eat, I noticed the fish was really fresh, with sensible usual poke toppings, and I love the fact that they actually use fresh chunks of salmon for their "Spicy Salmon" unlike many joints that cut corner by using the mashed up stuff with less fresh fish and fillers. They also veered towards light in terms of sriracha mayo and shoyu which preserved the taste just right, and I poured a bit of ponzu to suit my own taste. Portion was generous and came with a bowl of hot miso soup which was just perfect. Only minor feedback would be that rice was a bit blocky-cooler than I'd have liked so took wee bit more effort to eat together with the toppings... but not a big deal. With recent rise in delivery apps you might be tempted to (not even sure if they participate), but you know how they kill the restaurant's margin... So get off your butt and just go pick it up yourself... you need fresh air / groceries anyway right? :) Thank you for a delicious dinner and we'll be back.

The restaurant has an interesting history. Even though the original opened in Cresskill, NJ, it unfortunately has permanently closed. However, not only is the Edgewater location amazing, but it had the guts to open during COVID (2022), survived, and is succeeding. The restaurant is beautiful inside and outside. Their decorations are tasteful, the presentation of the food is award winning, and the service is stellar. I started with a Mocha Cappuccino and it was so good. Served in a large mug, an airy/creamy top, and had the perfect amount of mocha happiness throughout. Before the meal even started, we were graciously given Za'atar (a popular Middle Eastern spice blend with an earthy, tangy, and nutty flavor, toasted sesame seeds, and sumac, with salt). It was crunchy, drizzled with oil, and I enjoyed how each thin pita bite made the spices explode all over the table. The entrees were: Strawberry French Toast. The next was the Falafel Platter (chickpeas and fava bean balls, served with tahini sauce, pickles, turnips, tomato, and mint). The last selection was the Avocado Toast (Citrus cured salmon over multigrain bread, tomatoes, onions, capers & citrus vinaigrette). Not only were all of these dishes beautifully presented, but all were filling, as well. My Avocado Toast kept me full for the rest of the day and the salmon was enjoyably salty, thin, and delicious. I noticed a dessert in their display case and ordered it. The dessert was the Riz Bil Ashta (Lebanese rice cream, infused with orange blossom water, blended with milk and cheese, and topped with crushed pistachios). This dessert tasted like a regal custard and the pistachios added an enjoyable texture that makes it recommended. Of course, I had to cap the meal with a Mocchiato. This amazing beverage followed the rest of the meal..... delicious, eyes closed good, and every sip was full-flavored. Thank you, Madison Café and Grill, for presenting a memorable meal and I wish you continued success.

We had high expectations but when the salad and the half of a deviled egg arrived I was honestly surprised. The presentation felt cheap and the portion was super small. The salad barely had any dressing. The main dish I got was lobster - good flavor but overcooked and rubbery. Tiny portion that left me wanting more food. Hubby had the steak, they did not give option how you would like it and it arrived medium/well done. The portions were so tiny I was still hungry, for the price I honestly wish we went to omakase instead. Oh. And they automatically add 25% service. Owner is very friendly and service was polite but for the price it felt like we got robbed. Not sure we'll be back, really wanted to like it but the only memorable thing was the music and ambience. I felt compelled to review because I really wanted the owners to see this and make changes. The potential is there but with many restaurants around, there simply wasn't anything special. Pls be transparent to your guests and include info about prix fixe menu on reservation next time, and perhaps give your guests more value for the money. $150 should at least be 4-5 course for the size that was provided.. I'm so sad that we didn't like it bc we live so close :(

We all tasted the strawberry and thought it was strange. My gf's sister agreed the chocolate shake just tasted like ice cream blended with milk. The shakes could be better. I am a big burger and shake fan so that's a little disappointing. Overall, this place is great and definitely worth coming back to. I'll probably skip the shakes next time, but I'm looking forward to trying more of their desserts.
