Bareburger — Restaurant in New York

I went to Bareburger a couple of weeks ago for lunch on a random work day. On the recommendation of the waitress I ordered the Impossible burger and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. The cheese was melty, the burger was hot, flavorful, and cooked to my specifications, the onions were not put on the burger (can't stand onions). All in all, I was happy with my meal. That being said, I went to Bareburger again last night and my experience was totally different than the first. I, once again, ordered the impossible burger with no onions, but received a burger full of onions. No big deal, I could send it back. However, before I realized there were onions, I did bite into the burger and noticed that the cheese was basically thrown on the burger as an afterthought. It was just a cold slice of cheese thrown on top of the patty, looked a little hard, and the burger was not cooked to the temperature I requested. (Neither were the burgers the rest of my party ordered. I went with my husband and a friend, both asked for medium rare burgers, my husband's burger was more well done, our friend's burger was practically still alive.) The waiter took my burger back to be remade but, while the next time around it had no onions, this burger was sloppier than the first. The cheese was cold again, the pieces of lettuce were barely in the burger, and the patty, once again, was not cooked to the temperature I requested. The patty was also flavorless until I got to the middle of it. Not sure how that even happens. The only good thing I can say was that the cocktails were good. Kudos to the bartender last night, but the Sunday night chef really leaves a lot to be desired. I'm giving three stars for the first Impossible burger I had. If I were basing this solely off last night's meal this would be a one...

Tried this restaurant out before beginning my errands, and I was not disappointed at all. I had their Chipotle chicken sandwich, which was great. The way that it was presented really caught me off guard because it was stacked on top of each other. Before all of that, I was given free seasoned popcorn, which I thought was new and cool. Usually, I am only a fan of movie theater popcorn, but this was really good also. I'm not sure what seasoning they used, but it definitely worked. I ordered the regular fries because I'm not much of a sweet potato fry type of guy. Next, I ordered their lemon and honey Sundae. It was really, really good. I feel like you usually can't go wrong with things that have lemon or honey in it, and I was right in this instance. Last and certainly not least, I had their carrot cake. I'm not really sure why a lot of places, in my opinion, can not make a decent carrot cake, but that's how I feel. This place, however, does not fit into this stigma. Their carrot was so soft, moist, and delicious. I was very impressed how good it tasted. I forgot to ask for no whip cream, so that's on me. Still, that didn't stop me from enjoying it one bit. They also have some pretty good deals on certain items, which is also giving me another reason to come back. All in all, I strongly recommend it. One last thing... the food came out super fast and fresh which is a plus because as I said, I did have things to do after eating so the fact my food was taken care of so quickly really...

Went around 20:00, Sunday, and the place had enough seats to sit two people at a booth.

The booth table is a bit high, even for a tall person.

They were out of the Jawea Coconut Cream. (Sadness. Wanted to try the Cococado).

'Ordered a custom burger. Supposedly, you're able to add as much of the included veggies and sauce, and/or have it on the side (free) (I only had a few two side sauces and there veggies).

'Ordered Duck and Bison burger. Both, alone, would have been a bit over salted and, either, old-grill-taste (not burnt) or too over peppered (but, i doubt it, due to the bison person not tasting pepper).

The duck wasn't that special, but, most likely due to the other toppings I added :/ ...(so, if you're trying something new, order as little as possible per burger or everything served separately).

Great selection of meats and add-ons.
