Pick a number, any number. All are delicious. Then add an egg and do the sweet potato fries.
Come here for breakfast the turkey burger is amazing and don't sub w a beef patty, there's lots of complementary flavors in that turkey patty. Oh and the shamrock shake is pretty bomb- Add me to the list of folks that love the Bison Burger with goat cheese, pickled red onion and blueberry bbq sauce.
Jeff EarlyNovember 24, 2015Nope. Good, creative and pricey but not in top 10. Fries are done correctly and exquisitely. Try the fish!
Chicago TribuneJanuary 10, 2017For a boost of flavor, each bite of mac and cheese was laced with the unmistakable, but never overpowering, funk of truffle oil. Read more
Yum yum yummyness #1 was savory and sweet... Just great. Our favorite side was the onion strings.
Derek DahmerMay 13, 2013So good you won't want ketchup. Get the #5 bison burger - it has (subtlety flavored) blueberry BBQ sauce
Best turkey burger I've ever had. EVER. Sweet potato fries we're fucking incredible. Pardon the curse words...but FUCK this place is amazing.
Back of the place is a bit easier to hear, if you're hoping to have good conversation. Peanut butter/chocolate milkshake = must.- Rachel HillisAugust 8, 2011Bison burger- great. Vanilla milkshake- great. Sweet potato fries & truffle fries- delicious. Bacon Mac n cheese- amazing. Service was awesome!
Not a huge fan of the burgers. Love the wedge salad & Parmesan truffle fries though! Also great bar with draft picks. :)
Jordhy LedesmaDecember 7, 2014The potato fries are super creative. Edgy place with a good taste for burger lovers!
Annie ChooApril 21, 2014Sweet potato fries with the lemon tabasco is off the chainnnnn. So good! You won't regret it!
Jacob GuerraApril 2, 2016Great burger and sides. No customizations allowed. Music in the restaurant was too loud to have any good conversation.
Jenna KowalczykSeptember 20, 2014The bun will melt in your mouth unlike any other bun you've had on a sandwich of the same sort.
Rosey FApril 16, 2011Went early on a Friday (5:45) and we were seated right away. The #4 with cheddar fries was amazing, although the fries were better than the burger.
HungrypauJuly 30, 2013Holy shit, the milkshake. I don't even like milkshakes. Get a milkshake. (Veggie burgers are alright- I wouldn't call it the best)
John AllenJanuary 30, 2013I'm sure you aren't coming here because you're a vegetarian, but if you do the fries are fried in beef fat. The fried onion thing is awesome though.
Michael CaputoSeptember 17, 2011The #4 is a grass-fed patty with roasted hate green chile , sonoma jack cheese, and a fried egg. It's awesomeness on a pretzel bun
Veggie burger #12 is by far the best I've ever had - Cheddar fries are to die for. Staff is lovely, and almost always hooks us up with a freebie or some *love* Can't get enough!
Arash AnsariJune 11, 2015It's hard to find a really great bison burger, but DMK does an excellent job!
Louie LouieJuly 21, 2017All I can say there is a war in Chicago for the 🍔 This place is good. Try it.
Laura FrenchJune 2, 2011Last time I was here I had the bison burger with blueberry bbq sauce and goat cheese, amish blue cheese and bacon fries. I highly recommend. Read more
Always order the wasbi coleslaw and add it to your burger for a cold kick!!!
Emily S.November 6, 2016Good veggie burgers - made with a black bean base. Don't skip out on the fries or onion strings!
Lauren MeekAugust 12, 2014Grass fed burgers and really good fries! They don't take reservations though
Michelle TarrJune 13, 2010The best veggie burger and truffle fries. Try the Madame Geneva's Rhubard Delight. Delish (and I feel like I'm in NY). Great place.
Rich SegalineSeptember 14, 2013Ask for Kelly to be your server. Very nice and informative. Also has a great personality!- Make sure you come here for breakfast turkey burger is amazing - don't sub w a beef patty, lots of additional flavoring w the turkey
Barrett LaneAugust 10, 2013The burgers come out super fast but they are oh so delicious. Get the #5.
Burgers! Best stop for a triple B (beer, burger and bourbon.)

Food & WineMay 12, 2011Chef Michael Kormick offers eight different types of grass-fed beef burgers. The house-made sodas come in cherry, lime and blood orange.
KristaSeptember 17, 2011Weirdly small plates used for the burgers. I kinda dig the music and I really liked the lemon alioli used for the sweet potato fries. Wish burger bun was more toasted.
Miljan VukovicJuly 3, 2013Must try the #5 Buffalo Burger. Awesomeness! Service wqs top drawer as well.
Nicholas PittsMay 8, 2017With this spot being rated #3 burger in Chicago I was definitely expecting more. Very thin patty, twice as much bread. The bacon they put on after they forgot was quite cold & crispy.
The crispy portabella is surprisingly delicious. Try it! Don't forget the sweet potato or parmasean/truffle fries!
Tara RAugust 5, 2012try the deep fried portobello burger! when I was here they had old school on the tvs, awesome.
Wasabi slaw is crisp and delicious. Best side on the menu.
Time Out ChicagoNovember 2, 2011The fries (fried in beef fat), shakes or sides, like anchovy-draped Caesar salad, steal the show from the burger. Patties are cooked only “medium plus,” leaving them juiceless and disappointing.
