Best of Boston
2008 Best Burger
Mr. Bartley’s Burger Cottage
As a country, we take our hamburgers seriously; they are, after all, our native food. Luckily, the fine citizens at Mr. Bartley’s offer more than 20 top-notch variations, each reasonably priced, awesomely juicy, and served with a free side of snark: The George Bush Jr. (‘not bad for a C student’) combines tangy cheddar and Texas barbecue sauce, while the Ted Kennedy comes with a ‘liberal’ pile of mushrooms and cheddar. It’s enough to make a satisfied patron stand up and sing ‘God Bless America.’
