Best Burger I’ve had in a minute!!! Definitely recommend the elk burger it’s very juicy and has a slightly sweet taste to it especially when cooked medium and bloody juicy as well. Amazing staff and fast service. Go get yourself a burger here!

What a great experience. Me and my sister came here after our broadway show to eat a small meal and it was exactly what we were looking for. She got a smash burger and fries and I got pastrami and fries. We also shared Brussels sprouts that were out of this world. The service was top notch. Our server was Lance but the other staff also made us feel welcomed and anticipated our needs. We will be back to this location and I recommend you visit too👌

Wow. Seriously… this place is incredible.<br><br>We were in NYC with a celiac in the family, so Bareburger was a must, and it absolutely delivered. Everything being organic is already a plus, but the gluten-free chicken? You genuinely couldn’t tell. Super flavorful and a great portion.<br><br>We had to try the onion rings (not gluten free), and they were so good they even got my daughter, who usually only eats fries and nuggets, to say they were good. That alone says a lot.<br><br>Service was just as impressive. Anthony was awesome, friendly, attentive to the allergy, and made great recommendations (you were right, the chicken sandwich is better with cheese). He even sang some Michael Jackson with us, which just made the whole experience that much better.<br><br>This place is a whole vibe. Gluten free or not, we’ll definitely be back.

Response from the owner

Hi Jason Dragon,<br>Woohoo! A 5-star review! You’re amazing, and we can’t wait to have you back for more tasty adventures! We are glad to hear Anthony made you all feel comfortable, safe, and at home!!<br>Best,<br>The Bareburger NY-Hells Kitchen Team

Off the bat, amazing service, conversations with the waiter and staff felt natural and fun, not forced. Extremely well organized wait time despite the fact that the restaurant was packed. Perfectly executed smash burger, some places season the burger, and all of the flavour gets squeezed out when they smash it down, but the smash burger here held incredible taste! Amazing place overall, would recommended if you’re a tourist looking for a place to eat.

Response from the owner

Hi Mila Cohen,<br>Your review warmed our hearts like a fresh-off-the-grill burger. Thank you for making our day! We hope you enjoy the rest of your trip! And come back for that well seasoned smash burger ;)<br>Best,<br>The Bareburger NY-Hell's Kitchen Team

One of the best burgers I’ve ever had. I went there specifically because they offer gluten-free options, and it turned out to be an incredible discovery. The gluten-free bun was great, and the patty was honestly the best I’ve had in my entire life. Absolutely incredible. Definitely coming back.

Response from the owner

Hi D! Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your burger and that our gluten-free options hit the mark for you. It means a lot to us that the gluten-free bun and the patty stood out and made such a great impression. Knowing that you consider it one of the best burgers you’ve ever had truly makes our day! We’re so glad you discovered us and we can’t wait to welcome you back again soon. Thanks again for sharing your experience!

Ordered four items and only two made it to my house (uber eats delivery). Two burgers, popcorn chicken and onion rings. The two burgers weren't in the bag. The bag was stapled, so I couldn't blame the driver. Oh and there was a hair in my onion rings.

Response from the owner

HI Kate, We’re really sorry about this experience. Missing items and the issue you mentioned with the food is absolutely not okay, and that’s not the standard we aim for. Please reach out to us through our website or email so we can look into this and make it right for you.

I ordered the standard burger at Bareburger NYC. The flavor was good, though it wasn’t as juicy as I was hoping for, and the bun was a bit drier than I would’ve liked. That said, the ingredients tasted fresh and the overall build was solid.<br><br>The atmosphere is casual with a rustic vibe, and the staff were friendly. Prices lean higher than your average burger joint. They have a pretty good lunch deal Monday through Friday only from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m.

Response from the owner

Hi Cyriac, thanks for sharing your thoughtful review! We're glad to hear the flavor and freshness of the ingredients stood out, and we appreciate your honest feedback about the burger and bun, we're always looking to improve. Happy you enjoyed the rustic vibe and friendly service, and it's great that our lunch deal caught your eye! Hope to welcome you back soon for another bite.

Very good range of options and very customisable burgers. Great gluten free range including fried pickles and fried chicken. All burgers are available with a gluten free bun.<br><br>Would recommend.

Absolutely loved our visit to Bareburger!<br><br>The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The food came out quickly and hot, and everything we ordered was of excellent quality. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is warm and inviting – a perfect spot to enjoy a great meal.<br><br>One of the highlights for me was the wide variety of delicious vegan options available – it's not always easy to find such a thoughtful and tasty plant-based selection. Payment in cash took a bit longer to process, but it was handled smoothly in the end.<br><br>Overall, a fantastic dining experience. Highly recommend!

The Burgers are made with love and quality ingredients. This no frills burger spot has lots of choices and there is lots of room though it may fell tight. Check it out on historic restaurant row.<br><br>Update - I tried the cheesesteak (made with Pat LaFreda meat) and it was OK. I wouldn’t recommend the cheesesteak unfortunately.

In a city where there are so many legendary burger joints, Bareburger is a standout. I really love their burger options, and every single thing I’ve ever had here has been excellent. On this occasion I had the Supreme, which is a double patty (organic), uncured bacon, chopped fries, etc. The combo of ingredients are superb.<br>The burger was juicy, flavorful, and very filling. The onion rings that came with it were also very good.<br><br>The space is nice and the vibe always good. Service is personal and professional. I live two blocks away and I dine on Restaurant Row every now and again, and Bareburger is one of my favorites. Strongly recommended!

Had a great experience at Bareburger on 46th St! Our server was absolutely fantastic — super polite, accommodating, and genuinely friendly to everyone, including my 5-year-old granddaughter. She even gave her crayons to keep her entertained, which was such a thoughtful touch. While the food itself was pretty forgettable and they surprisingly didn’t serve coffee during brunch, the warmth and professionalism of the service more than made up for it. It’s rare to feel so genuinely welcomed — I’d go back just for the outstanding hospitality!

They were a little understaffed so a took a star off for service, but the staff there were great. The food was amazing. Fresh and natural. The natural root beer tasted like a tootsie roll...in a good way!<br>The burgers were fresh and juicy.<br>The pastrami was insane!<br>Fresh lettuce and shaved parmesan on the Caesar salad. The grilled chicken on top...outstanding.
