The 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

Burgers are super freaking awesome , one of the best ever on this planet

BB's the latest entrant in the over-the-top burger game, with half pounders like the Hey Shortay (braised short rib patty w/ fennel) and the High Hog (pork burger topped with BBQ pork/bacon/ham). Read more

The 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, 2015
Absolutely amazing burgers! The craft beer list is extensive. You have to try the truffle fries!

Burgers, local beer and pearl jam in the background. Love this place. The stuff is really friendly.

Meat-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

Fantastic 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

Phenomenal burgers of every variety, piled with meats and gourmet toppings. Beer deals. And milkshakes guys. Milkshakes.

If they have the Spicy Shrimp Stacker, get it. If they don’t, beg prostrate on your knees for it back next month.

I 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!!!!

Great beer list, the burgers are as good as Kuma's, and the chorizo mac and cheese is incredible.

Burgers are great, fries are great, shakes are great. You know what? It's great.
Chelsea GrintMay 11, 2013
Ballast point pale ale is amaze balls. I don't even like pale ales. Incredible after taste.

Oh, 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, 2021
It’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.

Great 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.

Cider, gluten free burgers & buns - a celiac's heaven.

Great selection I draft beer. Sit at the bar & chat with the bartender: they will take great care of you!
Diane WittDecember 15, 2015
Love the lemon pear cocktail. The sweet potato tots are the best!
Tristal HunterJuly 2, 2013

This burger changed my life. By far the best thing I've ever put in my mouth. Also there's a photo booth. A PHOTO BOOTH!! Read more

2 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

Arrogant 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, 2011
Les Urbain and the High Hog burgers are the best. Make sure to ask about the monthly special.
Chicago Food LordNovember 26, 2013
You won't regret getting the fried zucchini fries..well calorie wise you may.

I hope they bring the chorizo burger back. It was one of the best I've had.
Kap LangDecember 9, 2010
Wild Bill w/ white cheddar was phenomenal. Service was great along w/ the specials and beer selection. Will definitely come back.
Ryan ComerfordDecember 29, 2013
Try the Fo-ghed-da-bout-it burger. And sweet potato tots.
Annie EricksonNovember 24, 2010

Ask for pretzel bun for any burger. Its sweetness ads great finish.

Chef John was a doll and the les urbain burger with Brie and onion jam marmalade with dijonnaise to die for.
