    Maybe the best kept secret in Greater Boston. It's a hot dog buffet in the parking lot of a…read moremotorcycle parts dealer. The staff speaks limited English but food is the language we all speak. They are so friendly and will F you up with anything you want. This isn't a toppings bar. It's thanksgiving dinner, super bowl Sunday, and forth of July all over your hot dog. Pressed, sliced, it don't matter. Worth going JUST for a dog, bun, and mustard. But you'd have to be insane to ask for anything less than "a little of everything" I was kinda iffy about paying $9 dollars for a hot dog but it's truly a steal.

    This was our first time visiting the brick and mortar location. We moved away from the area and…read morehaven't had Love Dog in a couple years. The space is really nice, clean, and very nostalgic, it gives old school 90s Brasil vibes, iykyk! There is limited parking right in front of the restaurant with their food truck taking up half the spots. There were no staff present when we walked in, they were in the back, so we went up and ordered using the tablets. While convenient, I find this set up super impersonal. The food, 1 burger, 2 pressed hotdogs, and fries, took longer than we expected 20-25 mins. Once we did interact with the staff, they were super friendly! Now for the food, fries were way over salted, we had to wipe them off using napkins. Burger meat and bun were dry, the patty was also really salty. The pressed hotdogs were fine but they changed the hot dog they use and it wasn't our preference. The homemade mayo was really nice. While the sandwiches are substantial, given the quality, they're expensive when compared with similar options in the area. Overall, not as good as we remembered though I would recommend for the close to what you'd find in Brasil, authentic experience. We hope they can get back to what made them so special when they first started!

    We went to meet a friend near a computer store I like to visit and he recommended this place…read morebecause he used to work near by and said it's really good. When I looked on the map I saw there were also lots of other places nearby so off this was packed we still had several good options so we agreed to meet there. Well he wasn't lying, this place was great with possibly one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I have ever had, granted it was they honey bacon, so it wasn't just a plain one, but it was really good. So much so that i want to go back just for that, but there are also so many other items on the menu that i want to try that I see myself having a tough decision next time. And the food isn't the only reason we want to go back, but also in the backside of the restaurant they have a whole section of old arcade games I grew up with. From reviews I read that after 8pm they have a cover charge, but that won't stop me. Nostalgia is strong with this one.

    Heard a lot about Roxy's Grilled Cheese and finally decided to give it a try. We went in the late…read moreafternoon after the lunch rush to avoid the crowd. Ordering is a cinch pretty much, done at the counter and they giv a number for dining in, pretty straightforward. We ordered the double fried chicken sandwich, hot honey bacon grilled cheese, and truffle fries. The counter staff were fine and courteous. No issues there. The ambience has a kind of edgy, cultural revolution vibe, which is interesting but nothing too memorable. I might be going against the grain here and my fellow reviewers but I think this place is a bit overhyped. The biggest disappointment was the double fried chicken sandwich. For something labeled double fried, it lacked crispiness and crunch. It was honestly pretty plain, and nothing about it stood out. I felt like I could get a better fried chicken sandwich from Popeyes or even KFC and that's saying something. What really sealed it for me though was finding some kind of fibrous material in the bun itself. I only noticed it because I was inspecting the sandwich more closely to see what parts were actually enjoyable. I've attached a photo. It did not look like food at all, which was somewhat concerning. I ate carefully afterwards but still had some lingering fear of earlier bites i had but itd probably just go through my systemx The hot honey bacon grilled cheese was also underwhelming. It felt like the hot honey was just lightly drizzled on top and not really incorporated, so you end up dipping parts of the sandwich into it instead. The grilled cheese itself was fine, but nothing special. The bacon was decent and nicely flavored , but that was about it. Surprisingly, the truffle fries were the best thing we ordered. They came out hot and piping, with a solid truffle flavor. Probably truffle salt, but still enjoyable. Overall, pretty disappointed and not a place I'd go out of my way to return to.

    Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage is a Harvard Square institution that opened in 1960 and has not needed…read moreto reinvent itself since, which is its own kind of statement. We walked into a room where the walls are covered in memorabilia and every table is labeled with the name of a famous person who has sat there, giving the space a personality that no amount of designed ambiance can replicate. It feels like a place with genuine history rather than a place performing one. The burgers are the reason to come and they hold up after more than six decades without apology. The patties are thick and cooked to order, with medium being the right call for maximum juiciness. The creative topping combinations across the named burgers give you a range of directions to go depending on your mood. The Masshole is a natural starting point for a first visit, and the build your own option is worth knowing about if you want to go a more specific route. The portions are large enough that leaving satisfied is essentially guaranteed. The onion rings are a great choice of side for good reason, crispy and well seasoned in a way that holds up alongside the burger rather than competing with it, and the sweet potato fries are a strong alternative if you want something slightly less heavy. The frappes and shakes are worth ordering if you want something to wash it all down, and the raspberry lime Rickey is a summer ready drink with a refreshing taste. Service is straightforward and efficient, fitting the no-nonsense energy of a busy burger joint that has been handling crowds for decades. The staff moves quickly and knows the menu inside out, helping first timers navigate the extensive list of named burgers without hesitation. For a classic burger experience in Harvard Square that delivers on history, flavor, and personality, Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage remains a landmark worth every bit of its reputation.

I was impressed upon arrival, seeing the cool menu and interior. Knowing that many celebrities had eaten here! But then the food came out and we were a little disappointed. I ordered the D-Luxe and my boyfriend got the Bill Burr. We also started with soups, clam chowder and chili. The soups were good. Fries were really good! The burgers looked good, but then we took a bite. We both got medium, but usually that means pink...not raw. I'm not even lying my burger felt like I was eating raw meat. The meat was still super soft and shredded like. I get pink, but not raw. I was nervous I'd be sick after to be honest. I hate seeing pictures of people's bitten into food online but I felt the need to post it for reference... It's too bad because the vibes were great and everything, and maybe next time it'll be better, but I'd definitely say medium or medium well...
