Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage

Two reasonably hungry people could split one of the huge burgers with sweet potato fries and leave happy. The #hashtag with Boursin cheese , grilled onions and mushrooms was great.

The Harvard Double Burger : One of Guy's biggest bites ever. Two beef patties topped with grilled onions and peppers , bacon , mushrooms , and a load of bbq sauce . Read more

Took home burger ! Not a super surprise, but was good as well , and full of calories as well ;) Didn't try the one Harvard Uni recommend (mushroom onion burger ), maybe next time ;)

This Harvard mainstay is only getting better with age. Their constant inventiveness with topping combos (along with hilarious names!) for their burgers is unmatched by any other joint in the area. A+!

Do yourself a favour and grab a Taylor Made burger or a Fiscal Cliff. Both excellent choices... I also recommend their chocolate shake and onion rings .

The thick, juicy 7-ounce rounded burger doesn't seem like it's too big. Co-owner Bill Bartley prefers a round patty to a flat patty. He also says that beef chuck makes the best grind. Read more

Amazing burgers ! The Michelle Obama is delicious. The pink lemonade is a bit sweet but if you let the ice melt a little, it's perfect. They also REALLY cook the meat the way you request it.

I eat here every time I'm in Boston. Be prepared to wait and make friends (or stare at your delicious food to avoid eye contact/interacting with strangers) at the community tables.

Loved to burger and the fries I ordered (Kamala Harris). Small place but has a feeling, fast and nice service.

If you love burgers you gotta visit Mr. Bartleys close to Harvard. Get the 'Tom Brady' and a Raspberry Lime Rickey . Best in town .

Some of the best burgers in the Boston area!! So delicious. Loved the Tom Brady burger . Just a heads up - it's CASH ONLY !

If you like burgers this is your spot. Be sure to check the board because new burger combinations are always popping up. Hungry? Go for the "Triple D".

If you love burgers and are in Cambridge, you can't pass-up this legendary burger shop. The rounded burgers are cleverly named and stuffed with toppings.

Try the Mitt Romney (Swiss cheese burger with grilled onions and onion rings ) or the Michelle Obama (Cajun blue cheese burger with fries ). Add a frappe or malt to complete the experience. Read more

Mr. Bartley's in Harvard Square, established in 1960, offers a thick, juicy 7-ounce rounded burger . Bill Bartley prefers a round patty to a flat patty and says that beef chuck makes the best grind. Read more

The veggie burgers are just frozen "Original" Gardenburgers from the box, but they have such delicious toppings and sides that you won't care. Get a frappe and onion rings .

Awesome burger joint ! Cheap but excellent food! Trump Tower burger was delicious.

The service, cleanness and ambience of the place is bad, though. Don't come here if you want a comfortable meal as you sit along with strangers to ..optimize seating arrangement!

Amazing burgers - which are names after celebrities that have been there! Healthy options such as no bun and vegetarian options too. Love this place

This is one of the best burger I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is amazing too. However onion rings were dry and tasteless. Service is so-so.

The Cajun Burger is incredible. But be prepared for long lines . Although this place harbors a huge crowd, they have some of the best burgers I've ever tasted!

Always read the menu for the latest satire. Orange creamsicle frappe FTW.

Mmm delicious burgers . I got the John Kennedy, mom and dad got the Mit Romney and brother got the Sarah Palin, friend got the iPhone. Good names haha :)

Read the menu for a laugh or to find inspiration, but you can just describe anything you want on a burger and they can do it.

This place has been slinging burgers for 50+ years. A local institution and a solid menu. Cash only .

Beyonce burger is awesome!! I really enjoy eating at here. <3

I've been coming here for years and have never had a bad meal. Very no-nonsense place. Burgers are sublime - but also not to be missed are the sweet potato fries , Raspberry Lime Rickeys and Frappes .

Try The Ocho Cinco, a cajun burger topped w/ bacon/pineapple jalepeno relish , and pounded from ground prime, unlike its namesake, who's probably just past his. Read more

Excellent burger bar - can't go wrong with any of the burger choices. Love the names they've got and also the frappes (milkshakes ) are worth a go

Sweet potato fries are thick and delicious. Best in the country !

They have a s'mores milkshake (or frappe as the locals call it) and it's delicious.

Huge menu full of uniquely topped burgers . Walls are full of signs of which famous person sat where.

I love their Tom Brady. It's a standard cheeseburger but the guacamole addition does the effect.

"The Gay Marriage" + onion rings ! Personally, I prefer their onion rings over fries !

There are no public restrooms at Mr. Barkley’s.

Fast and good service , many types of burgers

Pretty good Burgers and exceptional onion rings !

Burgers were amazing, fries were perfect, and the service was next level.

One of our Favourite places to bring visitors. Classic. Fun. Tasty

This is the best place I've ever been in my life. Thankfully, despite all the posters, they do not serve beer .

Burger . Just pick any burger . (The frappes are delicious, too.)

Try the Michelle Obama, Cajun blue cheese burger . SO GOOD!

Best burger in town , dont forget to try specialty shakes

Best specialty burgers in Boston

So good. Tiny place but the food is worth it

Good veggie burgers . Awesome onion rings . And frappe ? Delicious.

Fantastic burgers cooked just right. Amusing names for them as well .

Quite disappointing. The burguers have just the meat and the toppings you add, not even a bit of tomato , onion , lettuce, or what regular burguers usually have. 35$ for two burguers with chips ??!!

Do not miss this burger place , try the sweet potato fries . Remember to bring cash and no bathroom !
