Chicity82December 2, 2016Tuesday Date Night Ambiance: dope! Burgers:Perfect.Music:Great. As a connoisseur of Chix Nachos, this place is #1. Not ur traditional "pile it on, carefully & artfully placed on each tortilla, yum!
The burgers are of course delicious, as that is their namesake fair. The salads are, to my surprise amazing (sad they got rid of the beet salad). I could eat a whole plate of their french fries.
Yummy brunch! I usually get the breakfast sandwich. Burgers are also a staple. Cheap prices and bottomless mimosas! Staff is friendly. Small front patio in summer. TVs inside
Chicago TribuneJuly 2, 2015This $10 drink is a surprisingly harmonic combination of Guinness Irish stout, vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce, all topped with a swirl of whipped cream. Read more
Chefs FeedMay 5, 2016"Whatever you order, it's always perfectly cooked. Build your own burger with customized, quality toppings like tarragon remoulade and Point Reyes blue cheese."- Mike Sheerin Read more
Kae BayAugust 17, 2013The fried egg sandwich is fabulous! It's on the dinner menu so don't feel weird about ordering it at nightalso hear amazing burgers & milkshakes! <3 that they have "adult" milkshakes great drink menu
Mark BrouchJuly 26, 2013Everything was very good, especially the spicy tuna appetizer and the spiked shake (mine had SoCo). The burger was on the better side, although I'm not a huge fan of the melt-in-your-mouth variety.
Lenora CravensJuly 6, 2015The bartender Russell was amazing and accommodating to us. I could not ask for better service. I think the manager was helping out and very friendly too. He really cared about our experience.
RubenFebruary 7, 2014Best burgers to date ... Had burger #3 and the fries were just right. We'll def be back. The bar is pretty low key too, so a good bar for drinks and to just chill out.
John HankusMarch 24, 2015Hipster central in river north. Good burgers and tasty cold beer. Not much seating available so be prepared to stand for a while if there is no room at the bar or at a booth.
Time Out ChicagoApril 17, 2012Scoops of ice cream are blended to become dessert and after-dinner drink in one. Butter pecan gets SoCo and praline liqueur and butterscotch-vanilla are doused with Maker’s and spun to smoothness. Read more
Lilly NMay 9, 2016Very awesome burger. It was fresh and also fast. They have a lunch menu for 10 bucks. Enjoy it!
Cosette EliasonMarch 16, 2017Amazing brunch. The pulled pork benedict is perfectly cooked, and the $10 bottles of champagne (plus mixers!) make for a prime boozy brunch.
Pat OleFebruary 10, 2013Get the Number One (Caramelized onion, vella toma, aderkasse reserve, bacon, arugula & thousand island). You will not be disappointed... Guaranteed happiness :)
Heather FolsomMay 29, 2013Must try: bacon wrapped dates, spiked shakes (drunken berry was amaz), & burgers with jalapeño bacon &/or cardona goat cheese. Fyi, the BBQ sauce has a serious kick.- Time Out ChicagoFebruary 17, 2012Chef-owner Tim Goodell has a Food & Wine Best New Chef nod, but keeps it simple at this minichain with those beefy burgers and straightforward sides like sweet potato fries and onion rings.

Sarah FalkenthalFebruary 26, 2015Super kind staff. Came in on a night they were catering an event and they made sure to take care of us before the kitchen got busy. Spiked milkshakes are totally worth it!- Time Out ChicagoFebruary 28, 2012The prix-fixe menus highlight this spot's specialty burgers with interesting combinations like yellow fin tuna and spicy aioli or tomato, burrata and crispy prosciutto.

Cristian LöfvallJuly 11, 2016The adult-shakes are incredible... the bestseller is the Salty Caramel Shake (gotta try it!). It's a very pretty place with great staff.
Alex RandowApril 4, 2014Went for lunch. Great burgers and they change their monthly craft beer draft. Comfort food restaurant, Modern looking with nice ambiance.
David GreenfieldMay 22, 2013A great hamburger spot with really good spiked shakes. If you go try the Salty Caramel.
Crain's Chicago BusinessDecember 23, 2011Balance and contrast make the "number one" burger worth repeating, with smoky bacon, sharp Aderkasse reserve, creamy Toma cheese, caramelized onion and faintly sweet, Thousand Island dressing. Read more
Serious EatsMay 14, 2013The well executed Grilled Three Cheese features Monterey Jack, cheddar, and emmi gruyere. It comes with a sharp arugula salad.
Kenny UgelJanuary 6, 2016Very cool atmosphere with great burgers and milkshakes! Whip some avocado on that burger and you'll be sitting pretty.
Arslaan ArshedSeptember 25, 2014Literally the best casual brunch place. $10 champagne bottles and awesome burgers? Sign me up
- Time Out ChicagoDecember 6, 2011Try the El Pirata from our 100 Best list: The spiked shakes at this L.A. import are so thick, so boozy and so frickin’ delicious that even the burger-bored should get in here for these alone.
Great burgers; good topping choices, huge patty, perfectly cooked. Decent beer list to go along with.
Erik GravesMay 24, 2014May Burger of the Month, BBQ Brisket Burger...awesome! As a bonus, 1/2 of the sales go to the Greater Chicago Food Depository!
Kristin WicksMay 6, 2012The most exciting drink menu I've ever seen, beautiful decor. The spiked shakes? To die for. Especially the Night Owl Milkshake. One sip = backwards swoon.
ashish rastogiFebruary 24, 2020Chicken burger was really bad - overcooked! But the veggie burger was very good! Fries are extra and a huge portion for the $!
Burgers are top notch. I love the Kale Salad and the Bacon Wrapped Dates. This place is awesome for drunch.
MathewMarch 19, 2017Ordered a couple of burgers, fries, onion rings and shakes from here. Burger was raw so we only had a bite or two. Onion rings and fries were nothing special. Shakes were good, though.
Chicago magazineMay 15, 2012Best Shake: Maker’s Mark–laced salty caramel, featuring a speckling of Hawaiian red sea salt and a streak of housemade butterscotch. Read more
All the salads are amazing!!! Ok, everything is outstanding you cannot go wrong. Great food, booze and service!!!
Currently digging the number one with jalapeno bacon, a margarita, veggie beet salad, and a salted caramel milkshake. Yes.
Jason LeeSeptember 6, 2014Try the Kentucky Barrel Ale. It's beer infused with the sweetness and taste of whiskey.- Time Out ChicagoMarch 20, 2013The ground sirloin melts in your mouth no matter which of the 13 sauces, 14 cheeses and 14 extras you choose.
This place was amazing! Great burgers, fries and drinks. Very nice bartenders and quick service.
