on Citysearch Nov 01, 2009I was served a half cooked burger, a half eaten pickle, and the floors were filthy. When I complained, the owner told me to never come back and accused me of not being a good customer. I wouldn't recommend this place... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 16, 2009This place needs to get with the program and start accepting credit and debit cards. The prices for the burgers is entirely extravagant even though they are good. Our service was very good. The good service doesn't... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 27, 2009WORST of all is that every single time there I have been made to feel unwelcome and unliked. The incredibly brusque and ill-tempered wait staff are only outdone in pure rudeness by the cashier who was sullen and... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 15, 2009I can't believe that I never stumbled across this place in 20+ years of visiting Harvard Square. Ok, so it's not elegant or commodious or even very comfortable (we got a cold draft of air whenever anyone opened the door... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 29, 2008Bartley's Burgers is a fine example of genuinely great food. I have gone there so many times, and have always left full and happy. This is a true example of Boston at it's finest, and is quick also (as long as you don't go... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 06, 2008One of the few places in Boston where I've felt happy eating. Mr B took our order, and we were shoved into the crowded hole of a restaurant. They use proper beef patties that aren't pressed into perfect cow-patties. Got... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 26, 2008Bartleys has a huge menu of different burgers. There were so many amazing options it was hard to chose what I wanted. I'm not actually sure if they have anything else besides burgers, but even if you're not a burger fan I... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 28, 2007I have eaten here many times but in the last couple of years this place has really tanked!! The tables are now so close that you can't get comfortable, even if you could with the management breathing down the servers... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 23, 2007I've been a regular customer of Bartley's for 5 years, but yesterday's?and today's consequential?experience with their management has left me with a resolve never to go back. I was short-changed $10?mistakes... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 15, 2007I had never eaten at Mr. Barley's prior to today, but an old friend of mine suggested that we get together for lunch there. It was definitely worth going! We arrived around 12:30 and were seated immediately. As other... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 18, 2007I have very little of an idea as to why people think this place is so good. I have never been so disappointed. I have been hearing raves about this place for months, and finally tried it today. Mr. Bartley's is the most... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 08, 2007I had an outstanding burger. The flavor was fantastic! It was juicy and meaty. They cooked it really, really, rare - just the way I wanted it. The burger was amazing! The next time I go, I would skip the onion rings and... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 21, 2006My boyfriend and I had been wanting to try this place for a long time. I must say, it does live up to its reputation. The burgers are fantastic: juicy, not TOO big, and tasty. I love the fries, but was not crazy about the... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 02, 2006Big juicy burgers cooked to order, probably the world's greatest onion rings, real New England styled frappes and an unlimited supply of napkins to wipe your mouth after every bite. Bartley's is one of the great... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 03, 2006I had been wanting to go to Mr. Bartley's, but my husband isn't into the communal dining thing. I took my Aunt here when she was visiting, and we loved it. We forgot to order the "world famous onion rings" but the fries,... (more)

on Judys Book Jul 24, 2006This place is an interesting restaurant. It is very crowded and there is a long table in the center that multiple partys share. There is no bathroom. All of the burgers on the menu are named after famous people, and all... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 18, 2006I first saw this place on an episode of "This Old House" and though maybe some day I'd like to try it out. Well, my partner and I were in Boston for vacation this year and decided that we'd see what everyone was talking... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 19, 2006Bartley's is a tiny little burger stop on the outskirts of Harvard Square. Because Bartley's is so small it is usually pretty crowded and you'll have to wait to take a seat. While in line, the hostess will take your... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 12, 2006If you're looking for a place in the Square with "fine dining" and leisurely, long meals, this is NOT the place for you. But if you KNOW what you're going to Bartley's for: burgers in a diner atmosphere with a twist of... (more)

on Judys Book May 18, 2006Mr. Bartley's has built a reputation on its burgers, and indeed you can smell 'em half a block away. This is not a great place for vegetarians unless they want the plate of three sides (i.e. pasta salad, fruit salad,... (more)

on Judys Book Apr 15, 2006What's better than a burger from Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage? Not much. It has the feel of dive diner and the authentic menu to boot. It's basically a huge list of creative burgers and assorted foods that are named... (more)

on Judys Book Apr 15, 2006Gets pretty crowded since it's right next to Harvard. The service is fast though since they need your seats. Definitely not a place to linger over the food. Kind of a "greasy spoon" type of restaurant. The menu's... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 05, 2006Great turkey burger but the line is huge and inside there's no restroom. Ask the waitstaff about the bathroom, and you'll be the recipient of a bad attitude. I vow never to return.... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 28, 2006The creativity of the menu will definitely give you a chuckle. The burger is so tasty and you have to try their famous sweet potato fries. Remember to bring cash with you because they do not accept credit card. Burger... (more)
