Despite the lovely people and the nice atmosphere and the good food, after years and years and years and years of wrong orders, I finally have to say something. Every. Single. Time. the order is wrong. It's a family joke now. If you order a combo, they forget to put the soda in the bag. The veggie burger arrives with un-asked for bacon. The nice people here--specifically, the manager--has got to come up with a system to make sure that the orders are correct. Would have been five stars, but this has been going on for almost 7 years.

Quality is clearly their top priority here and it absolutely shows. Fresh, organic ingredients done right with a creative, delicious menu that never disappoints.<br><br>The onion rings are perfectly crispy, the macho fries are next-level, and the fried chicken sandwich? Unreal. And don’t even get me started on the milkshakes — cookies & cream blended with NewmanOs (iykyk) to end my meal on an even sweeter note.<br><br>Everything tastes fresh, intentional, and made with care. I only wish this place was down south so I could have it all the time! HIGHLY recommend!

I’m not sure what the hype is on the food but I had ordered the chicken and it was simply dry. No seasoning whatsoever. The water they give is sink water as you can clearly taste it. The atmosphere was fine. Service was fine. I don’t think I’ll return back there. I can’t speak on the burgers. Maybe they have better quality than the chicken.

I could eat the fries and the onion rings so day. I had the shrooming burger(vegan option)The burger was good, I should've added cheese tho. My only complaint was how cold it was inside. I hate when I can't enjoy my food because it gets cold because of the air conditioner.

My wife and I walked in on a VERY busy Friday night. And it was packed. So we assumed that if it’s a full house and about a25 minute wait it must be worth it….. and it was. I will recommend making reservations especially when there’s a concert.

The pictures speak for themselves, there is nothing left of our Sweet Bison Blues and Elkasaurus Burgers and my favorite Vanilla Peanut Butter Milkshake to go.<br>I love coming to this location in Forest Hills.

Good beer on tap selection. Nice little back patio for when the weather gets warmer. The burger....whut! Couldn't wait to dig in so I did so before taking the pic. Sorry. Delicious! Pretty good vegan selection too.

Tried this restaurant out before beginning my errands, and I was not disappointed at all. I had their Chipotle chicken sandwich, which was great. The way that it was presented really caught me off guard because it was stacked on top of each other. Before all of that, I was given free seasoned popcorn, which I thought was new and cool. Usually, I am only a fan of movie theater popcorn, but this was really good also. I'm not sure what seasoning they used, but it definitely worked. I ordered the regular fries because I'm not much of a sweet potato fry type of guy. Next, I ordered their lemon and honey Sundae. It was really, really good. I feel like you usually can't go wrong with things that have lemon or honey in it, and I was right in this instance. Last and certainly not least, I had their carrot cake. I'm not really sure why a lot of places, in my opinion, can not make a decent carrot cake, but that's how I feel. This place, however, does not fit into this stigma. Their carrot was so soft, moist, and delicious. I was very impressed how good it tasted. I forgot to ask for no whip cream, so that's on me. Still, that didn't stop me from enjoying it one bit. They also have some pretty good deals on certain items, which is also giving me another reason to come back. All in all, I strongly recommend it. One last thing... the food came out super fast and fresh which is a plus because as I said, I did have things to do after eating so the fact my food was taken care of so quickly really worked out for me.

Went there today to celebrate my son’s birthday. My first time here. His first time at this location. I was not disappointed. There for lunch and my burger was delicious. Couldn’t eat it all. The onion rings were delicious. Will I be returning yes indeed.

Great place for lunch! If you come Monday to Friday (I think 3-7?) the drinks are half off...beer..wine...even bottles. If you don’t finish it you can take it to go.<br><br>Burgers are great. Personally I stick to organic beef but they have fun options like bison.<br><br>Blazin’ bacon is probably my favorite burger. It’s a little spicy, just a kick.<br><br>The large mixed greens salad is also great for 2 people to share.

Response from the owner

Hey Danny,<br><br>Thanks for taking the time to reach out to us! We are thrilled that Bareburger Austin Street was able to provide a great dine-in experience. We love compliments and we will be sure to pass them on to the restaurant.<br><br>Best,<br><br>The Bareburger Team"

I have enjoyed the food from here many many times. I always have it delivered. In my opinion, the best-tasting burger is the FORAGER. The french fries are perfect and so are the onion rings. The food is worth the price. They even have their own brand of organic ketchup packs. Delivery is always prompt. I have never had any problems.
