Across from hallowed Harvard Yard, this famed burgermeister has been grilling burgers and whipping up thick frappes for decades. Freshly ground, hand-formed and cooked as ordered, the burgers---most named for stars and politicians---are… Read Full Editorial
Best burger in New England by CSMobileUser via Citysearch on 10/21/2010
My girl friend and I had terrific burgers, a noisey, fun place. But, they have no rest rooms.

One of the best burgers I have had. by Kurtious via Citysearch on 5/28/2010
One day I was walking about in Cleveland Circle getting some grub at Pino's pizzeria, when I was confronted by a homeless guy perched in front of Eagle's Deli. He asked for some change so I gave it to him and we started talking about…
Bartley's can't be beat! by brett t via Insider Pages on 4/6/2010
Mr. Bartley's is the best burger that I've ever had in New England. They have a ton of different varieties, all of which are incredible. Highly recommended for a great burger and make sure to try a lime rickey as well.
HATED IT! by pitbullstew via Citysearch on 4/6/2010
The yelling of orders are from a saturday night live sketch with people yelling at the top of thier lungs to one another in a rat a tat manner that just isnt neccessary at all in order to run a burger joint.\r
The cola was more soda than…
good, not worth the long lines by BostonBurgerBlog via Citysearch on 2/26/2010
Some places are hyped up and can't live up to it, other places are praised and have stood the test of time for good reason; Mr. Bartley's is certainly that of the latter. Right in the middle-of-it-all on Mass. Ave in Harvard Square, this…
Excellent Burger Experience by BeaconBart via Citysearch on 1/16/2010
There is a reason these burgers are considered some of the best in the Boston area. The taste is superb and the variety of toppings offers something for everyone. The onion rings are lightly battered and a perfect compliment to any…
Demeaning Service, Disgusting Food by pdewan5 via Citysearch on 11/2/2009
I was served a half cooked burger, a half eaten pickle, and the floors were filthy.\r
\r
When I complained, the owner told me to never come back and accused me of not being a good customer.\r
\r
I wouldn't recommend this place because…
Good Food very high priced by doveland66 via Citysearch on 8/17/2009
This 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 seem to be a common…
OK place, if you like the WORST SERVICE IN THE WORLD by Geoffpp via Citysearch on 4/28/2009
WORST 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 seemingly disgusted with my…
Great Burger Joint! by IslandPark via Citysearch on 1/16/2009
I 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 and had to keep…
Bartley's Burgers, Harvard Square, Only good for takeout, TERRIBLE Service! by norgeerbest via Citysearch on 10/9/2008
We were 4 going to dinner, my husband was parking our car and us three ladies walked in ahead of him. We told them we needed a table for 4 and that the fourth person was parking the car but we would place his order for him. We were told to…
Mr. Bartley's is the best!! by momoirise via Citysearch on 8/30/2008
Bartley'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 on a…
Good for out of towners by BostonFoodSucks via Citysearch on 2/7/2008
One 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 a couple of…
Great Burgers by Kyra T via Insider Pages on 1/27/2008
Bartleys 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 bet you would…
Must go... by Benjamin S via Insider Pages on 1/22/2008
this is one of those places that you just have to go to. It is in cambridge (harvard) ma. it is a special one-of-a-kind type of burger places that has any type of burger imaginable. The menu is histerical as they use real-life characters…
I would give a thumbs down if I could move my arms inside of Bartley's!!! by terriertrimmer1 via Citysearch on 12/29/2007
I 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\r
servers necks to get that…
Appalling Customer Service by laurel_mackenzie via Citysearch on 8/24/2007
I'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. \r
\r
I was short-changed $10?mistakes happen, no harm done?and…

This Harvard Square landmark has been synonymous with burgers for more than 40 years. by Eric Grossman via Citysearch on 7/25/2007
The Scene
For one of the Boston area's most unique--and beloved--dining experiences, visitors must cross the Charles and head toward the edge of Harvard Square, where Mr. Bartley has lured people to his "cottage" for more than…
