We hit up Mr. Bartley's Burgers one night when I had to run some errands in Harvard Square. The printer wasn't working at school and I only had a few days left in the year to get my kids' National Parks projects printed. I was feeling pretty frustrated so when JO asked me where we should eat I didn't have a good answer. I was kind of disappointed when JO picked Mr. Bartley's Burgers but my disappointment quickly went away once we got a table. I forgot how fun this place is. There are typed up signs letting you know what famous person sat at your table and if you don't chuckle reading their menu than there's something wrong with you. Plus, I'm not really a burger person, but these burgers are fantastic! I kind of already want to go back!
That weekend, I was having major Summer Fever and I felt liked steamers were the only cure. We decided to head to The Barking Crab because really, it's always summer there. We were lucky to get one of the last spots in the covered dock, ordered some drinks and steamers, and did some fabulous people watching. We decided to extend our visit by ordering lunch, as well. I went with the fish tacos and they were the best I have ever had. The fish was perfectly fried, and the aioli was creamy with a kick. Just like Mr. Bartley's, there is nothing fancy here, I mean you grab your own silverware from the communal container on the picnic table, but the atmosphere is fabulous. Even if you aren't on vacation you feel like you are.
