A Thoughtfully Crafted Burger Experience in the Heart of Forest Hills Bareburger in Forest Hills is far more than your average burger joint—it’s a place where quality, care, and creativity come together beautifully. The menu is impressively versatile, offering everything from classic grass-fed beef to bison, elk, and plant-based patties that don’t feel like afterthoughts. Each ingredient feels intentionally chosen, and it shows in every bite. What sets this place apart is its ability to cater to nearly every diet without sacrificing flavor. Whether you’re gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, or simply a lover of a well-made burger, Bareburger ensures you feel included—and well fed. The sweet potato fries deserve their own round of applause, and the shakes (whether dairy or plant-based) are thick, nostalgic, and satisfying. The ambiance is inviting—rustic yet modern, family-friendly yet grown-up enough for a casual date night. Staff are attentive and genuinely helpful, which goes a long way in today’s fast-casual dining scene. Yes, it’s priced a bit above your typical burger spot, but the difference in quality and experience more than justifies it. Bareburger is a Forest Hills gem—one that honors the art of the burger while embracing the values of thoughtful, sustainable dining

Good simple food. I have celiac disease and other allergies so my options are limited, but they will customize dishes for me. I love their chicken soup, fried chicken, pad Thai,

My husband is gluten free. We decided to check and see if they made a gluten free pizza. We ordered a regular plain cheese, gluten free. We got 6 Sicilian slices. The cost was $23.00, a little pricey, but 100% worth it. The crust was excellent and the sauce was very good. One of the best slices of pizza we have had in a long time. We will definitely go again.

Good gluten free pie, but made from cauliflower. Tiny, disappointing, and sad regular large cheese pie. Good knots, decent buffalo slice.

Food is delicious and many gluten free options, including the fries. But everything is overpriced. $5 for a small side of white rice???

I love their casual setting and the bar! We wanted something different and found it! Their food is amazing! From their appetizers to their dishes, the wait is worthwhile! I loved the fish cake appetizer! We ordered potstickers, beef bulgogi and gluten-free mackerel! WoW.. what deliciousness! The space is simple, clean and welcoming! Their staff is super friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating! I highly recommend them!

I had a great experience with this restaurant. They have several vegetarian options. I ordered the avocado roll and an asparagus, cucumber, and avocado combo roll. When I ordered over the phone, the staff confirmed the rolls could be made gluten free (aside from the wasabi). When I got home and opened the bag, I saw that they had given me gluten free soy sauce packets as well! To top it all off, the food was delicious. I’ll definitely eat here again.

Good traditional style burger and gluten free buns make the difference

All the tacos and a few other menu items here are gluten free (I have Celiac and felt fine after eating here). I wish they marked which options were GF on their menu so I could feel confident there would be something I could order ahead of time. It's a great place to stop for dinner and drinks before a concert at Forest Hills.

Great addition to the neighborhood. The wasn’t really any good coffee places in the area until they opened up. Super friendly team and lots of different options including vegan and gluten-free. They also roast their own coffee here in Queens NYC. Their espresso is always on point!!
