“Solid build your own burger with a few pre-made selections.”
Solid build your own burger with a few pre-made selections. Place is decorated with a lot of antiques making it look like an old butcher shop. Service was very quick and the burgers were fantastic. Seating is a bit limited and there is no alcoholic drinks on offer, but it's great for a place to drop in, get a burger, and then head somewhere else for drinks.

The bugers were fresh, highly recommend the 100% US beef burger with lettuce, onion, tomato, cheese and ghost pepper spice. Fries were crisp and the cookie was scrumptious. Added bonus they were playing my favourite artists music. Staff was fantastic and super welcoming. Cant ask for anything more ❤️❤️❤️ Hands down the best place I've eaten a burger yet.

“I haven’t eaten here since before the pandemic, but I was craving a burger.”
I haven’t eaten here since before the pandemic, but I was craving a burger. I have always thought this was the best burger place in Lincoln Park, so I thought I would try and see if it still held the crown. IT DOES. I was looking for the classic burger and potato salad side. It did not disappoint. Everything about this meal was perfection. The burger, the way it was cooked, the bun, and the toppings. And the potato salad was a special treat! Anyhow, I’m glad I came, and I am glad to report back that it is still outstanding.

“My family and I enjoyed this Saturday night find.”
My family and I enjoyed this Saturday night find. After reading the reviews we expected it to be expensive. We spent $80 for three burgers, large cheese fries and a few beverages. The meat is good quality as are all their ingredients. Some cautioned against ordering fries. They were oh-kay. It’s definitely an experience and worth checking out if you want to try something different.

“It is a lovely place with lovely food.”
It is a lovely place with lovely food. If you like to build your burger from scratch, you have lots of options. Try this place. One feedback: do not try sirloin with Dijon mustard; the Dijon taste dominates the meat taste.

“Was a serious vegetarian for 25 years.”
Was a serious vegetarian for 25 years. Got hit by undeniable craving for meat in pregnancy. Decided on Butcher & the Burger because they advertise grass fed beef; if I’m gonna do meat, it’s gotta be quality! First burger since 3rd grade was so insanely good, we went back the next night for a repeat. This is going to be the weekend move for the foreseeable future

“This is one of my favorite burgers in Chicago..”
This is one of my favorite burgers in Chicago... maybe anywhere. We have been several times and it is consistently amazing. My wife and I split one this time and they cut it in half for us and put it on separate plates. It was really juicy and the flavor was spot on.

“SUCH a good burger.”
SUCH a good burger! They have so many choices to customize your burger and have a ton of options for the patty, including salmon, shrimp and buffalo. Everything had a great flavor to it, especially the truffle mayo. Really loved how they serve your burger on a cutting board too! Looking forward to coming back here again. Servers were really nice and all of our food came out quickly.

“Great neighborhood spot for lunch or dinner.”
Great neighborhood spot for lunch or dinner. Prices are a bit high for it being a burger place, but definitely worth it. Highly recommend the fries and any one of the fun dipping sauces. The burgers are so fun to customize and it’s nice to have healthier options like turkey or salmon burgers seasoned however you like with a lettuce bun.
