Berkeley: Barney’s Gourmet Hamburgers; restaurant review

1591 Solano Ave., (510) 526-8185. 

This burger specialist offers a comfortable atmosphere with seating in booths and at tables with chairs, plus that in-between solution--comfortable banquettes.  And the menu at Barney’s Gourmet Hamburgers has something for everyone.  I prefer a very basic burger, without even cheese.  Here you can choose your type of flame-broiled patty--Niman Ranch ground beef, chicken, turkey, salmon, vegetarian--and you can make it simple or complex.  Among the more than 20 specialty versions is a Voodoo Burger stuffed with provolone and blue cheese, bacon, and mushrooms sautéed in spicy voodoo sauce.  And these burgers are BIG.  An assortment of fries includes a good-for-you sweet potato version, and you can order up a float or milkshake that let’s you have dessert with your meal--the blackberry-chocolate is superb, and the Turkish coffee is on my to-do list.   All this, plus hot dogs, salads and sandwiches, too.
