Mr Bartley’s Burger Cottage

Mr Bartley’s Burger Cottage in Harvard Square turns the burger menu into a roll call of public figures. Order by the toppings as much as the name: the Jayson Tatum comes with Swiss cheese, mushrooms, arugula and garlic aioli, while the Cottage D-Luxe keeps things familiar with cheddar, lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo. Milkshakes get their own substantial section, including Oreo and mint cookies-and-cream versions, alongside floats and rickeys. Beer, wine and cocktails are available, too. The Massachusetts Avenue restaurant is a straightforward lunch or early-dinner option when you want a burger and something cold to drink. Online ordering is available if you would rather take yours away.
