This place is an interesting restaurant. It is very crowded and there is a long table in the center that multiple party’s share. There is no bathroom. All of the burgers on the menu are named after famous people, and all of the sandwiches after schools. There are a lot of different choices, and you can have any hamburger substituted with a turkey or veggie burger. The food was great and came very quickly.

Mr. Bartley's has built a reputation on its burgers, and indeed you can smell 'em half a block away. This is not a great place for vegetarians unless they want the plate of three sides (i.e. pasta salad, fruit salad, etc). The burgers are very good though, large and cooked to order and given fun names based on current events. The menu is otherwise huge, and they have old timey drinks like raspberry lime rickeys and egg creams. The place gets crazy crowded but the line moves pretty fast. Be prepared to rub elbows with your neighbors. Where's Mrs. Bartley? She used to be on the sign back when....

Bartley's Burgers have been shown in research to forestall decisions by those contemplating a bout with to vegetarianism. Come at the height of lunch, and you will wait outside with the rest of the herd. You will want to squeeze isndie to read the menu -- it surrounds you on two sides with huge scale chalk letters. Every burger is dubbed with a celebrity name, and it seems people I go with always choose that way as by the ingredients -- always too numerous to list or even help one make one's decision. Don't overlook the lemonade. It is the perfect implement to the over-sdized Bartley's' chow down.

Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage can be good;if you can climb through the horde of tourists to find a seat. The menu contains pages and pages full of different kinds of burgers with tourist friendly catchy names. They also serve the traditional new england style fountain drinks such as the lime rickey and egg cream. In my opinion, the food here is not worth the effort-with the exception of the sweet potato fries. Caveat-there is no public restroom here.

What's better than a burger from Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage? Not much. It has the feel of dive diner and the authentic menu to boot. It's basically a huge list of creative burgers and assorted foods that are named after celebrities. The burgers have pithy comments and can be politically charged, so you really are what you order here. The most amazing thing to me is that a vegetarian can come away full with the good selection of vegetarian options.

Gets pretty crowded since it's right next to Harvard. The service is fast though since they need your seats. Definitely not a place to linger over the food. Kind of a "greasy spoon" type of restaurant. The menu's pretty extensive. They even have veggie burgers =) The food's filling, and it's reasonably priced. Can get quite loud though.

I love burgers, greasy juicy burgers. this place is cute and has lots of interesting stuff all around, and the food is great. it's just an old fashioned burger joint that really is still an old fashioned burger joint. they also have some interesting burgers on the menu. plus they have other things for people who don't want to eat a burger. one of my favorite places to eat when I go back to Cambridge to visit.
