I went their and watched the older owner (father i think) take coleslaw off a plate that someone didnt eat and reuse it. he put it onto someone elses plate as if it was a natural thing to do. The tables are always dirty with spilled condiments, hamburg grease and dirty napkins. The wait staff is horrible. I watched a blonde haired waitress tell a young woman to eat the burger and stop complaining.

Without a doubt, Definitely the best burgers in the Boston area. The meat is always fresh and tasty, and so are the veggies and assorted accoutrements. Onion rings can't be beat, and Their milkshakes/Frappes are thick and delicious, just as the great god of comfort food intended. About the only downside is that it is always loud and always crowded, but the high quality of the food more than makes up for that. FIVE STARS.

fat fest
greasy food, greasy staff, intestinal issues
enjoy

Easily the best burger place in the Boston area. Bartley's grinds their beef fresh every day, cooks every burger to order, and has dozens of amazing choices for toppings. The burgers are big and juicy, the onion rings are as good as anywhere I've eaten, and the atmosphere is fun. During normal lunch hours, expect a line out the door...but ...

bit greasy...the restaurant, not the burgers. overated

Do they flame broil or fry the burgers??????????????? If you want an incredible flame broiled burger, check out Wild Willys in Watertown

You know any good burger starts with the meat and fat to properly "juice" up the burger. After that its all choice as to the condiments for the individual. SO, a burger can ONLY be judged "OFF THE BUN"..again after that its all a matter of condo choices for tatse. The meat here is regular and acceptable ONLY... NOT FABULOUS. MIx ...

When you walk in to Bartlys Burgers on Mass Ave, you see a plethora of memorabilia (sp) That will draw your attention. You get greeted by many people willing to serve you. You sit down and you are amazed at the amount of good food that is listed on the menue.

When i personaly go their i go for the sheperds pie, yummmy! when im not in the mood ...

They are good, but for the best burgers... go to Tim's. Its on the corner of Dartmouth and Tremont, around the corner from Cleary's. Its a bit of a dive, but the burgers are delicious, enourmous and cheap.
