The Scene – This single-room, mustard-colored joint plays host to pick-up customers nursing their beers at the bar, as well as a diverse group of old and young chowing down at wooden tables. A chandelier of cattle branding irons hangs overhead, ready to stamp out "Rare" on unsuspecting rumps. – – The Food – The menu lists items other than burgers (salads, quesadillas, ahi tuna and lump crab "burgers"), but they are all distractions. The Rare burger is best unadulterated, either as the classic eight-ounce, or dwarfed as a trio of mini burgers. Both versions are…

try the t bone burger to experience heaven
by colleen817
if there is anything you do before you die, try the T Bone burger at rare bar and grill! my waitress explained how its ground sirloin and strip which had me sold immediately. its wrapped in bacon and smothered with cheddar and crispy fried onions. aaamazing.
this place has some cool beers by the bottle as well and in the spirit of the holidays -- sam adams winter lager. you just cant go wrong!
if the food hasnt sold you -- their staff is friendly and know the menu in and out, as if they have tried everything on it (if i worked here, i definitly would) and theyve got a TV by the bar to keep up on the game
- Pros: food, service, beer selection
- Cons: decor, ambiance

Cool spot.
by msdecember
Went there on my husband's birthday and we made reservations that we couldn't make and still received very quick seating when we finally made it to the restaurant. The drink menu is extremely limited so no excitement there but I fell in love with the choices of toppings and sauces for the GREAT onion rings and the burgers.. Next time, I will get a turkey burger because me and beef don't really work well together. LOL.
The only weird thing was that our bill came to $59 and I left a 20% tip and the waiter sort of frowned at me?? Was I wrong... when in NYC am I supposed to leave more? Anyways, I will definitely go back. Right in the heart of the West Village which is our fave spot in the city.
- Pros: Great location, fast seating, great toppings, sauces
- Cons: Limited drink menu

RARE is great!
by brooklynbaby07
Went the other night with my wife and daughter. We loved everything. Those fries are fantastic. My daughter doesn't eat much big people food. She is 1! She had her first sweet potatoe frie and then her second and so on. We had to order another plate. My wife and I both enjoyed our burgers and really had a great time.
