Yaqoob AlobaidliNovember 13, 2014Burgers are super freaking awesome , one of the best ever on this planet
Chicago TribuneJanuary 10, 2017The order here is the chorizo chili mac and cheese, which is a steal. The molten cheese sauce coats each corkscrew noodle perfectly, with grape-sized hunks of chorizo lodged in every bite. Read more
Dana JensenFebruary 21, 2015The truffle fries are great, and the mug club can get you more generous servings of beer. Buns are softer than I'd like, but the regular burgers are otherwise all very solid. Specials can be weird.
Ashley SullivanJanuary 29, 2015Absolutely amazing burgers! The craft beer list is extensive. You have to try the truffle fries!
Vuk NikolicNovember 17, 2014Burgers, local beer and pearl jam in the background. Love this place. The stuff is really friendly.
Redeye ChicagoAugust 3, 2014Meat-on-meat burgers called stackers—with short ribs, pulled pork or prosciutto piled on top of the beef patty—are the ultimate indulgence for carnivores at this eatery. Read more- L KAugust 7, 2014Fantastic beer selection. The burgers and location are both good for dinner. Don't forget to get a milkshake or malt for dessert!
Looking forward to trying another burger here. Hey Shortay & Les Urbain were both winners! The fries with bacon & blue cheese were very good & they have an excellent beer selection & make very good
Jacob FordJune 29, 2019If they have the Spicy Shrimp Stacker, get it. If they don’t, beg prostrate on your knees for it back next month.
Joshua WhitakerOctober 15, 2015Phenomenal burgers of every variety, piled with meats and gourmet toppings. Beer deals. And milkshakes guys. Milkshakes.- DAWN FAIRLEYMarch 5, 2017I had the Hometown Burger and Sweet Potato fries. At $15, it was delicious!
The wings are incredible... Burgers to die for... And as for the root beer float, words can't explain how good. COME EXTREMELY HUNGRY!!!!
Rafael FerrerAugust 9, 2014Try the beer flight. From the right to left: Bruce, Rosa and Lagunitas. Sounds good! ;)
Great beer list, the burgers are as good as Kuma's, and the chorizo mac and cheese is incredible.
Scott KleinbergApril 14, 2013Burgers are great, fries are great, shakes are great. You know what? It's great.
Chelsea GrintMay 11, 2013Ballast point pale ale is amaze balls. I don't even like pale ales. Incredible after taste.
- Scott KleinbergApril 14, 2013Oh, the milkshakes! Try the malted milk ball madness (pictured) or the banana Nutella.
Good burger and beer options. Reasonably priced (for the city) and enough character to invite a friend next time.
Shannon JeropkeOctober 14, 2021It’s over priced but the food is very good. The beer list is great too.
Care with that name! This is a fast service casual restaurant with a spectrum of craft beer selections. Watch out for daily beer specials. Food is above-average.
e.g.October 2, 2010Great burgers (Les Urbain is a good choice). But the fries were disappointing--both truffle & sweet potato fries were under-cooked, and bleu cheese fries were bad (just dressing poured over them).
Without hesitation one of the best burger of my life. Period.
Ross GuthrieApril 26, 2012Great selection I draft beer. Sit at the bar & chat with the bartender: they will take great care of you!
Brent GatewoodAugust 11, 2014Well, the burgers are the best thing about the burger bar. Great beer selection too!
Truffle fries are amazing! Be sure to try the fried pickles.
Chicago Sun-TimesSeptember 10, 20102 stars for a joint that makes a good burger, turns out tons of tasty toppings and creativity. But the service can leave you flat on your buns. Read more
Joe KieferNovember 6, 2010Arrogant Bastard. First time I've seen this beer since 2003, and haven't had a better beer since. Expensive, but if you like dark beer you won't regret it. Trust me!
Kate LeeNovember 14, 2011Les Urbain and the High Hog burgers are the best. Make sure to ask about the monthly special.
Kap LangDecember 9, 2010Wild Bill w/ white cheddar was phenomenal. Service was great along w/ the specials and beer selection. Will definitely come back.
I hope they bring the chorizo burger back. It was one of the best I've had.
- Chicago Food LordNovember 26, 2013You won't regret getting the fried zucchini fries..well calorie wise you may.
- Sit outside and wait for a car to drive into the Apple Store! (Seriously happened)
Annie EricksonNovember 24, 2010Amazing burgers. Cooked perfectly. Try the horseradish cheddar!! I will be back despite the service being less than stellar.
Must try the Tur-Duck-En Burger!!!!!! Arugula, cranberry chutney, brie, butternut squash, relish and rosemary aioli. HOLY GOODNESS!!!!!
y0lorenzo !November 27, 2011Eat a burger, buy an iPad! Good for the the pre-line-wait at the Apple Store across the street.
Brenda WinttersFebruary 15, 2012Ask for Mike he is the best! $4 crafts today. Lamb burger, fried pickles are amazing!
Celine SwicegoodSeptember 22, 2012Ask for pretzel bun for any burger. Its sweetness ads great finish.
MarcoSeptember 20, 2010So far the best cheese burger place in the gold coast; half pound burgers plus home made chips delicious!!!!
