As someone with several severe food allergies, it’s often difficult to have a safe dining experience. I’m happy to report Logan took incredible care of me, making sure my allergies were well communicated with the kitchen, even going out of his way to review the ingredients for different food items. I could not recommend Bareburger and Logan enough!

Hi Nathalia Tavares,<br>Your review is like extra cheese on a burger—it just makes everything better. Thanks for the support!<br>Best,<br>The Bareburger NY-UWS Broadway Team

This was our second time at Bareburger and once again it did not disappoint. The food was excellent, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere made for a great dining experience.<br><br>We started with the Brussels sprouts, which were absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. For our mains, we had their special burger and the Behind Burger, both cooked perfectly and incredibly satisfying. We paired everything with wine, which complemented the meal nicely.<br><br>It’s not often that a restaurant delivers such a consistently great experience on multiple visits, but Bareburger definitely has. We’ll absolutely be back again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great burgers and a welcoming atmosphere. 🍔🍷👏

Hi Joel Sanchez,<br>We’re SO excited to read this review! Thank you for spreading the love—come back soon for more!<br>Best,<br>The Bareburger NY-UWS Broadway Team

I had never been to Bareburger but Lucas’ service left a great first impression. He was attentive and went above and beyond throughout the meal. He greeted us in English but switched to speaking Spanish when he noticed my mother was more comfortable ordering in her language. I live far so I can’t say I would immediately return but if I’m in the area and need a meal that won’t let me down, I would stop by again because I know I can count on Lucas to make the meal enjoyable

Hi Keren Ortega,<br>Your review warmed our hearts like a fresh-off-the-grill burger. Thank you for making our day!<br>Best,<br>The Bareburger NY-UWS Broadway Team

Went for a late lunch before heading back to hotel. Tried the spicy pastrami junior sandwich and shared a triple lendy with my wife. I was hoping the sandwich would have been spicier. Dont get me wrong though the flavor was still really good. Its not too far away from the American Museum of Natural History and even closer to the 79th St station of the 1 train.

Response from the owner

Hi Mike Chavez,<br>Your 5-star review is so good, we might just frame it and put it on the wall! Thanks for making our day—can’t wait to serve you again!<br>Best,<br>The Bareburger NY-UWS Broadway Team

Fist time here, food was delicious. Our waitress was amazing. High energy, polite, attentive. Made for a great experience even while they were packed. 10/10 would come back

Response from the owner

Hi Connor Messmore,<br><br>We couldn’t agree more—Genesis really is the best, and we’re lucky to have her on our team! Next time you’re in, stop by for our weekday Lunch Special, Monday–Friday from 12–3 pm, where for just one extra dollar you can add French fries, sweet potato fries, onion rings, or a house salad and a draft soda to your meal. We’d love to have you back and have Genesis help you pick out your next favorite combo!<br><br>Best,<br>The Bareburger NY-UWS Broadway Team

Burgers were juicy and delicious. Fries were hot & crispy. Cherry Cola dirty soda was the sneaky sweetness that pulled the whole meal together.

Response from the owner

Hi Lucy! <br>Thank you so much for the awesome review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the juicy burgers and those hot, crispy fries — that’s exactly how we love serving them. We appreciate you stopping by and can’t wait to have you back for another round soon!<br><br>-broadway team

Delicious burgers with ways to customize and make it your own! Highly recommend going during their lunch special (before 3pm). Rob was incredibly kind and accommodating!

$3 happy (noon till 6) hour pints! I must have fallen though a rift in time. I know....I came to a burger place and had (an excellent) salad. But if their salads are this good, imagine their (organic or plant-based) burgers! Very comfortable both. Music not too loud and actually pretty groovy.

Response from the owner

Thank you so much for the awesome 5-star review! We love that you stumbled upon our $3 happy hour pints — sometimes it really does feel like finding a time warp 😄<br><br>We’re also really glad you enjoyed the salad (no shame in that at all!) and that the vibe, music, and comfort of the space hit the mark for you. And you’re absolutely right — if the salads are that good, the burgers are definitely worth a try next time 😉<br><br>Thanks again for stopping by and for the kind words. We hope to see you back again soon for another round (and maybe a burger this time)! 🍔🍻✨

This is a great burger place. The service was great as we wanted some extra burger sauce and got plenty. It was also quick and friendly. I got the supreme, and I found it exceptionally tasty. The patty is high quality beef, and the sauce, onion ring, and bacon all make a excellent combination. I would definitely revisit for lunch or dinner in the future.

Response from the owner

Hi Qiang,<br>Thanks a ton for the great review! We’re so glad you loved the Supreme and got all the extra sauce you wanted 😄 It means a lot to hear you enjoyed the flavors and the service. Can’t wait to see you back for lunch or dinner soon!<br><br>-Broadway Team

We visited Bar Burger this evening with our family. The area was very packed, and service was slow at first. Unfortunately, the hostess with blonde hair experience was disappointing, the booth section wasn’t offered to us until another customer arrived and there were no other seating options left, even though it seemed we could have had that choice earlier. The host also came across as a bit aloof and more focused on chatting with coworkers than engaging with guests.<br><br>That said, our server truly turned the experience around. She was attentive, kind, and thorough when taking our order. Honestly, she would have made a much stronger host than the one who greeted us.<br><br>The environment itself is small, intimate, and cozy, which we enjoyed. The food was delicious, filling, and satisfying — a great option when you want to step up from fast food without committing to an overly expensive night out. It felt like a solid middle ground for a family dinner for four.<br><br>Overall, great food and a wonderful server, but the front-of-house experience could definitely be improved.

Response from the owner

Hello Stephany,<br>Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re really sorry that your visit got off to a rough start—waiting for service and feeling overlooked at the door is frustrating, especially when you’re out with family. That’s not the first impression we want anyone to have. We’ll be addressing the seating and guest-interaction concerns with our front-of-house team. We’re also very glad to hear your server made such a positive impact. We’ll be sure she’s recognized for taking great care of you. Thank you for your honest feedback. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back and give you the experience you should have had from the start.<br><br>-Broadway Team

One of the best hamburgers I have ever eaten. Simple yet so delicious. Wide variety of choices for condiments and fillings. Friendly staff, reasonable prices.

Response from the owner

Hi Boris Vereš,<br><br>Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear our burger made your “best ever” list. 😊🍔 Glad the variety, flavors, and our team all hit the mark. Hope to welcome you back again soon!<br><br>Best,<br>The Bareburger NY-UWS Broadway Team

Bareburger was an impromptu lunch spot that was unexpectedly great! We got the standard burger, and it was only $15 for the burger, fries + a drink during lunch (usually $21).<br><br>All around solid burger. The fries were perfection - crispy and salty. Ranch was great. Our soda was very flat but that’s okay.<br><br>Service was beyond good, top notch. The menu was huge, so many options for different types of meat, buns, toppings, etc. A great find!

Response from the owner

Hi Ariana Lucidonio,<br>Love to hear an “unexpectedly great” lunch story! 😄🍔 So glad the burger, fries, ranch, and service all hit the mark. Appreciate the note about the soda too — we’ll check on that. Come back anytime for more crispy fry perfection!<br>Best,<br>The Bareburger NY-UWS Broadway Team

Excellent service! The burgers were delicious with great flavor, the meat was amazing, and the best part is that they have a very healthy kids’ menu. The service was outstanding—they were always attentive to everything we needed. I loved it and will definitely come back!

Response from the owner

Hi Judy Moreno,<br>Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback! 💛 We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the burgers and that our kids’ menu worked great for your family — that means a lot to us. And we’ll definitely share your shoutout with the team! Looking forward to welcoming you all back again soon 🍔✨<br>Best,<br>The Bareburger NY-UWS Broadway Team

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at BareBurger! The food was delicious, and I truly appreciated the variety of gluten-free options available. The burgers, fries, and popcorn chicken all tasted fantastic—light, flavorful, and never greasy or grainy. The milkshake was semi-sweet and organic, which was an added bonus, and I was excited to see they even offered gluten-free beer.<br><br>What really stood out to me was the attentive and knowledgeable staff. They were incredibly accommodating and made sure my gluten-free allergy was well taken care of. The overall atmosphere and service made this visit memorable, and I will definitely be coming back.<br><br>Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious, allergy-friendly food served with great hospitality!

Response from the owner

Hi Alexandra Martinez,<br>Your 5-star review just gave us an energy boost better than coffee! We’re so happy you had a great experience—see you soon!<br>Best,<br>The Bareburger NY-Upper West Side Team
