CitySearch Tips

Where to Sit

If you're in the Square and flying solo, grab a seat at the long, communal table in the center of the restaurant.

When to Go

Avoid the restaurant during lunch hours, when every seat is taken and there's usually a wait to get in.

Know Before You Go

Looking to have a beer with your burger? Head elsewhere--no alcohol is served here.

FourSquare Tips

  • Harvard University
    An American landmark since 1960 & voted best burgers in America! Try "The American Idol" burger w/ bacon, cheese, mushrooms and onions.
  • Boston.com
    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.
  • Thrillist
    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.
  • Honey B.
    ;-) Great got my.Harvard Badge.
  • Calvin W.
    Cash Only!
  • Chris C.
    awesome burgers! cash only though
  • Boston Phoenix
    Voted "Best Burgers" by @BostonPhoenix readers in 2012. Bring cash and don't forget the onion rings.
  • Steve S.
    Mr. Bartley's is good. That's it.
  • travel42
    Try the Kevin Garnett: delicious, but messy (the way a burger should be!). And the onion rings are fantastic! Worth the wait.
