“A must place to visit while in Chicago the original! Fun place great burgers!!”

“It is what it is, chill & easy! Grabbed a burger and went back for a grilled cheese so simple but good!!”

“Great food and cool atmosphere. Their burgers were very tasty!”

“Sometimes you gotta hit up the classics! The original Billy 🐐 Tavern is across from our hotel, so we headed under to hit up the burgers 🍔! A couple of goat classic drinks and the "it's a Chicago handshake" that literally no one from Chicago could explain to me. It's Jeppson's Malört, lol. Not Chicago's best work. But the Billy Goat was a great experience!”

“Must see, must experience, and a great place to hang out.”

“If you are in search of a local Chicago burger at a great price/quality point the I highly recommend Billy Goat Tavern. This place lives up to its legacy! Very kind and fast service for a real burger”
