Cluttered with memorabilia dating back to the 1960s, when it was first established, Mr. Bartley's Gourmet Burgers is a Harvard Square institution and a student favorite that serves thick, juicy burgers, chunky fries, and gourmet milkshakes. Boasting kitschy décor in a small and cozy space, Mr. Bartley's serves over 30 different kinds of burgers named after local and national celebrities.
Burgers include the “hot” Beyoncé Burger with bacon, grilled onion, jalapeño, hot sauce, and fries, and the Next President “God Help Us” Burger with cheddar cheese, guacamole, red onions, and tomato. The Hashtag (don't tweet it just eat it) has bacon, Boursin cheese, and sweet potato fries.
