This is my third time visiting. I love the hamburger here. Patties are good smoke flavor. Nice pretzel buns also. Sometimes fries were salty. Thus you might want to order fries without salt. I am moving out from Chicago. I wish I could come here again soon.

Always a good quality burger here. Too many choices sometimes but it always lives up to expectations.

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 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.
