Bareburger

Wasn’t sure what to expect. The burgers were excellent but a bit unusual. You can choose some unusual burgers — I opted for their Bare Elk Burger — very good choice. Also enjoyed the onion rings and fries — dipping sauces were excellent. The salads are also good. Long wait but that is to be expected.

It’s really hard to find a good burger in Hoboken and although this isn’t my favorite burger joint, it is my go to when I’m craving a burger in Hoboken.
I love that this place has options. You can get a burger, sandwich, salad, and they even have a dessert menu with a variety of shakes and ice cream sandwiches.
For the burgers you can make your own or pick a specialty burgers. I love the variety of patties (beef, elk, bison, vegetarian) and variety of unique toppings (pineapple relish, tomato jam, chickpea onions)
Here is what we tried
–Wiki wiki with wild boar, Gouda, duck bacon, chick pea onion, and pineapple relish. Great combination of flavor a that compliment one another. The patties was juicy, the onions added a nice crunch, and the pineapple added a hint of sweetness. GET IT
–blue elk is topped with country bacon, stout onions and tomato fig jam. The elk was gamey and didn’t have much flavor. The blue cheese and bacon added a much needed kick but still wasn’t enough to make up for the lack of flavor of the elk. SKIP IT
–snicker doodle Sammie is amazing!!! Carmel ice cream between two snicker doodle cookies topped with caramel sauce. The cookies are soft, the ice cream is the perfect creamy consistency and the sauce has the perfect pinch of sea daily. GOTTA HAVE IT!

You can never go wrong when you order from this place. Every thing I ordered was great and very tasteful. I couldn’t be happier.

Bareburger food is so good! I love how you can pick various different types of meat, sauces, and condiments for your burger. Basically, bareburger is your specialty craft burger shop that can run you up to spending 15 – 20 dollars per burger, depending on what you order.
I had the elk meat and built my own burger. However, I love to get the preset burgers. The French fries here are good too, and the service is fast. Waiters take the order on ipads.
I feel that this place is for people that want to try healthy and specialty burgers. But the portions are kind of small for the price you pay, so… do not expect a huge portion.
Oh and it’s BYOB! Which is a plus!

Yum! We popped in here for take out after the gym to try it for the first time. They estimated 25 minutes but the food didn’t take that long and the people who work there are really nice.
I ordered the black bean burger and a ginger lime iced tea. The burger was great and the pickled onions were on point. I will probably ask for extra pickled onions next time. The iced tea was very yummy and refreshing
The man ordered the southern caviar burger and the onion rings. He said both were awesome-​especially the onion rings.

not as good as other bare burgers Ive been to. The one in astoria had me excited about it, but this one just missed the mark.

Bareburger toots its multiple chains across New York and now has a place in Hoboken! I came here by myself on a Sunday lunch after spending some time writing. I guess I had different expectations for what a burger joint was supposed to be like …
FOOD: Per Unilocal’s help, I got the bison burger + duck bacon + salad. The burger itself was smaller portion that I had expected, but itself was not bad! The duck bacon though, for that extra price, sadly, I found it not really that superior to justify the extra price charge. Maybe a mismatch of expectations, but I found myself wanting something else. The side salad was alright, nothing too special.
SERVICE: A little odd as I was moved from table to another table due to some lack of planning of seating arrangements right as I was going to order. I also found it a bit slow too, but alas, it beats being rushed out the door.
Line built up as I finished my meal, so come early to avoid the wait as usual!

Howdie yall! I came here after a 30 hour flu with no fixins in me and boy was I starvin! Everything on the menu from the bunz, to the sauces, to the bread is very clean and organic so that was nice. I must say the only thing I wasn’t fond of was the ketchup that stuff was not fingerlickin! We got he sweet potato fries and build ya own burger I would recommend the elmadador and it was yeehaw we good! (Couldn’t eat the wild boar because I am a boar, oink!)

Horrible experience and I went a couple times to only be let down once again. This is long winded but I have to explain how ridiculous this is and I wish it wasn’t because I love the concept of this restaurant.
First time I went — my fiancé and I each order a burger — we have been to the ones in the city so we know what to expect and really like the Nyc locations.
So we order food and wait and wait and realize everyone around has ordered and is done eating before we even get our food. We don’t see the waiter for really long because he is talking to a table for over ten minutes, finally we tell the waiter and right away comes the food except it’s ice cold– no exaggeration it was cold– the waiter apologizes and brings out two new hot burgers. He then comps the meal saying it was a mixup and won’t happen again– so we forgive the place because anyone can have a bad night
Now for the second experience– same thing we order our burgers except this time the waiter is being a little rude and seems very overwhelmed. But it’s a burger place u don’t go for the great service so we don’t really care– I order my burger medium — it comes out raw– not rare bc I eat rare — I mean totally raw in the middle — I took a couple bites on the outside of the burger keep in mind before I get to the middle and realize how raw– (side note both times fries sucked completely soggy) you would think a burger place can get temperature right — I show the waiter he seems really understanding and says he will fix this.
So I get my «new» burger — they took the partially bitten meat and threw it back on the grill and put that meat on a new bun. To me, that’s disgusting so the food I chewed is on the grill with other burgers. I refused to eat the burger from that point and asked for the check and once again the waiter comps my burger but at this point it’s over no amount of comps can make up for those mistakes
You pay a premium at this place so you expect better quality and higher standards then u would at a fast food restaurant but this location honestly is horrible — I really hope they can turn it around bc I would be a regular customer

Just ate a Southern Caviar burger… WOW!
Switched to duck bacon and it was amazing. Juicy and flavorful and I will eat here again.
Don’t second guess yourself… eat bison.

fresh, delicious, not greasy, great options, BYOB
Big fan of the wiki wiki

Okay considering we came here at almost closing time on Halloween this place gave us good service. I loved how the food was natural and organic. You could taste how clean and fresh it was even almost at closing time. They have a variety of different unique meat choices like elk and bison. I also saw duck bacon which was interesting. This place reminded me of this place called burgatory in Pittsburgh with the farm to table ingredients and the build your own burger style. However, all of the burgers are cooked at medium. Not usually how I liked to eat my burgers so I wish the waitress would have said this while we were ordering. Also the burgers to not come with a free side like other similar restaurants. This is why I did not give it 5 stars. This is also a BYOB restaurant which is cool. I would like to try it during normal hours so I don’t feel as rushed.

Worthy! The rustic homestead style décor of this hipster burger joint immediately conveys authenticity in its message of organic farm-​reared food and it certainly delivers faithfully on this front.
I ordered the ‘Southern Caviar’ bison burger, which with its country bacon worked well with the subtle kick of the horseradish remoulade. Together they reminded me of fresh breakfast farm food housed within the cosy confines of two soft and sweet layers of bread.
To complement the main event, I ordered half rings and half fries. The rings were absolutely on point and could even contend for the best I’ve ever had with their crispy casing dotted with herbs, along with the soft and warm onion slice waiting inside. The fries on the other hand, although lightly garnished in visible salt crystals, were soft to the bite which wasn’t incredibly satisfying for someone who prefers them crunchy. Paired with the Sir Kensington brand of ketchup and mustard, however, it was all very palatable: these sauces packed a punch with less sugar than the leading brands
Some small misses for me: having read others’ reviews here beforehand, I was originally tempted by the grilled chicken; however before ordering, the waiter informed me they’d run out which was somewhat disappointing knowing that their business day had just started.
The in-​house lemonade was not so enjoyable as its bitter pungency was closer in taste to fermented ginger ale than a summery sweet and sour drink.
Finally, even though I came for lunch at noon on a Thursday when there was plenty of seating available, and although polite and helpful with ordering, the waiting staff were laxed in their regularity of passing by the table.
Despite these minor shortcomings, this is a thoroughly recommendable lunch place if you’re looking for a healthier burger option in Hoboken.

This wasn’t my first visit to a Bareburger, but this was my first visit to a B-​Y-​O-​B Bareburger!!! Not that the beer/​wine at other Bareburger locations is expensive, in fact it’s quite reasonable, but every place wins points for being BYO. The staff here was extra friendly on a Saturday, for an early dinner and the whole experience was very enjoyable.
I’m normally a big burger fan, but the buffalo chicken sandwich was really calling my name. OH-​MY was it fantastic! I think everyone was jealous at my table. It was also huge! The chicken was friend perfectly, topped with all of the right ingredients!
As always, at Bareburger, the sides of fries with all the dipping sauces is a must. This location is just like any other Bareburger with wood tables/​booths and the wait staff ordering off iPods which always is really impressive to me.
I’d definitely recommend this place, especially this location. And remember, bring your own wine/​beer!

Hoboken can be a wasteland when it comes to restaurants. Corner after corner of doughy frat boy pizza, run of the mill Chinese, tasteless Mexican and lackluster bistros and sports bars. Downright depressing.
Then there’s Bareburger. Yes, it’s simple. Yes, it’s just a burger place. Yes, it’s on the small side. It’s also very cool, beautifully run, organic and absolutely delicious.
From the minute I walked in and was greeted by the very sweet hostess, I knew I’d come to the right place. The restaurant has a super relaxed vibe — including 80’s British pop playing in the background.
Our waitress, Melissa, arrived promptly was everything a server should be: charming, engaging, efficient and she knew the menu inside and out. Her recommendations (Bison, Gouda, brioche and sautéed onions) were perfect for my friend. After taking our order she slipped into a kind of invisible service where she was always around but never intrusive. Really great.
My burger itself was impeccable — really really great. I also had the rings and fries combo done to perfection and an Arnold Palmer that was fantastic (not too sweet) for such a hot day.
Simply fantastic!

First night in town and this is where er came! BYO place with great staff, good menu with great flavors and Gluten Free friendly.
They also have dedicated friers fro their french fries which is a big deal for people like me with celiacs.
We had Melissa as our server, i think, we went over a month ago. She was awesome. we are a sarcastic bunch and she rolled with the punches and dished it right back, but was super helpful with everything.
Backyard brisket on GF bun, 2 burgers, fire quacker.
got sides of pickles, fries, and friends had the onion rings.
Food was so good!
Will definintly come back when we are in town.

We went for dinner on a Thursday night around 730 and no wait for inside seating.
Immediately I loved the look and feel of the place! Very rustic, distressed wood, cool lamps made out of spoons and forks, and exposed brick. LOVED the look.
So, its BYOB which is amazing — there is a wine and liquor store right across the street.
We ordered the onion rings which were near perfect. The crispyness and stringyness of them was fantastic. It came with two sauces, one was like BBQ and the other was like campfire (ranch & BBQ mixed).
We also got the Pickles and slaw combo. The wasabi carrot slaw is not my style but the wasabi flavoring was very mild. The regular slaw fell flat on flavor. All 3 flavored pickles were unique and amazing.
I ordered the Fire Cracka — which was VERY HOT! My boyfriend had to finish it for me. He ordered the Wiki Wiki and we ended up splitting the two burgers (the cook cut them in half for us which was great!). The wiki wiki was AMAZING. If a log cabin had a «flavor» this was it. So comforting, down home flavors.
All in all we will DEFINITELY be back.

They had ostrich!!!
I like this location. There was a short wait on a Friday night, nothing too crazy long, and the staff was super attentive.
There were quite a large number of families with their kids but that didn’t bother me. Our server was great as was the food.
They have all their usual burger fixins and salads to choose from. Fries and rings are a la cart and you can get a personal size or trough sharing size. Did I mention this location had ostrich?!! So good!
This location is byob so I will definitely take advantage of that in the future!

Burgers are good, but I have been visiting the chain for a year and with every visit, prices seem to be higher (or I am being charged for things that were complimentary) and the quantity of food that actually makes it to my burger decreases.
They had these amazing hemp milk buns catering to the gluten free audience. The latest burger I had was good but different. They started using rice buns from a supermarket, but never changed it on the menu. That was nice to find out… Especially because I am supposed to be avoiding rice.
From the toppings — duck bacon is my favorite (expect one piece of it on a burger for $ 3) and I am also a fan of their vegetarian options.
The décor is fun. The walls are wood with a rustic look and the light pieces are made of spoons and forks. Really nice touch.
The service was using — We ordered a bottle of water and the waitress didn’t know if they served bottled water. She had to find out. I have to say that the burgers arrived quickly which was nice.
Overall, I love the concept of the place and the food actually tastes good. It’s just a shame to see the prices go up while quality suffers. The place has become a money making machine and seems to be cutting corners in a way that is disappointing.

We had to wait forever. No biggie. We got to shop for some wine to drink with our dinner. But the problem was that the wait was much longer than we were told it was going to be. Who knew?
Staff as always was nice and ready to explain the menu and offer up recommendations.
Instead of a burger, I went with a salad. After discussing with my date and our lovely server, I went for the large Sweet Grazin’ Salad topped with a healthy dose of buttermilk fried chicken. All the ingredients played nice together and felt fresh for the most part, but, nothing was cut into a manageable size. The apples were large wedges and the radishes, though thin, were big circles – not easy to bite. And the fried chicken might have been too spicy to go with the light salad.
The boyf got the El Matador (his usual?) and he tried out the wasabi carrot slaw. The burger looked consistent to previous visits, but the carrot slaw was lacking the heat and flavor he was looking for.
We ended our dinner with the Snickerdoodle Sammie. Once again, this was an excellent decision. I CRAVE this little ice cream sandwich. It is sweet and spicy and comes with caramel sauce, what could be better?
The burgers are always pretty good and the snickerdoodle sammie is out-​of-​control, but the a la carte style of the eatery makes it hard to decide how much food to actually get.
