So it’s not the most affordable burger joint in town, but it’s good and the portions are huge! I should’ve opted for the single serving of curly fries to share, they were great though. Ranch was homemade and delicious, lots of dill. The Chinese chicken salad was huge! Lots of chicken and fresh Napa cabbage finely chopped which I love. Could’ve used a little more flavor in the dressing, the one they used was on the sweeter side. Aside from that, really good! The Turkish coffee milkshake was incredible, not too sweet but really creamy and a lot of it. My husband had the gastro burger which he enjoyed but thought the chips were a little weird on top. Overall, we enjoyed it! Service was great and super fast. Food wasn’t anything life changing but it was good for the amount that as provided.

If you’re into variety and combinations you might not have considered this is definitely a good pick. Solid burger. Huge selection size. And even more importantly the curly fries were some of the best I’ve had in the bay

Yeah, $20+ for a burger is a bit steep, but overall I was happy with the flavor, quality, and service for Barney’s.
This place is a cute local joint (now with several Bay locations) on the charming College Ave in Rockridge. They advertise as gourmet burgers, and they definitely are — but with all the possible toppings, be prepared to pay quite a bit for each add-on you’re interested in.
I ordered the Moroccan Burger (with sprouts) and the skinny fries, to-go. They prepped my food quickly and it gave me a few minutes to walk around the area and check out the cute cafes. It’s a short walk from the BART station, but there’s also plenty of parking on College Ave (I had no problem parking).
I’d definitely recommend the pretzel bun, as the soft and salty flavor added a unique twist to the burgers. The meat was tasty and you can specify if you want medium rare, medium, or well-done. I also liked how the toppings were overflowing — you might have to pay $3.50 to add something like crispy onions to your burger, but for that price they’ll make sure you get more than enough to fill your burger (and plate!).
Overall, it’s a nice choice for a casual burger in Rockridge.

My friend had the Voodoo burger and gave me a bite, it was delicious! My Moroccan turkey burger was a little dry and spicy for me, but flavorful. Fries and black cherry soda were great! We were outside so not as much service as inside, but still friendly.

Not a bad spot, but the burgers for the cost and being advertised as ‘gourmet’ have been pretty lackluster. The maui burger just tasted like they slapped on a canned pineapple slice and covered it in teriyaki sauce. The curly fries were minimally seasoned. The spicy chicken burger wasn’t very spice nor flavorful. The online menu has now increased in person and the cost for the food quality seems unreasonable.
The location itself is nice, clean and staff was good!

Good sizes for the price. The fries are strong while the lemonade definitely has some flavor, Decided to have a sandwich to see toasting and was good crisp.

Very good Barney Burger, $13. Bun was substantial, meat good. Fried vegetables were fabulous because they use fresh vegetables and they were crispy fried. A lot of portobello mushrooms. We asked for crispy french fries and they were.
All selections are generous portions.

Wow, these are huge burgers! My Maui Waui burger was sloppy and so delicious. My date had a Bacon Cheeseburger, and we shared a half order of onion rings. I did add an onion ring to my burger- recommend! We sat inside at a booth, they also serve in the garden patio out back. It was a bit pricey, but I did take home leftovers for lunch the next day.
