Outstanding double cheeseburger and onion ring tower! My husband said he's had better gyros; he'll get a cheeseburger next time. Check the specials first. They're by the bar/pop. read more

Good, local burger place if you're in the area. We came here on a Tuesday night and the place was basically empty so our food came out quickly. The burgers here are huge! I would say the serving portion you get, with the side of fries is worth the price. The have specialty burgers that are worth trying. A few critics about the other things we got. We ordered the beef nachos, but it was obvious that the said beef was really just cut up burger patties, which yes is beef, but the chucks of it threw me off a bit. However, the portion size of this was also ginormous so it was perfect for sharing with friends. The cookies n creme milkshake was good but for $10 I definitely feel like we could've made our own at home. It wasn't anything outstanding. The onion ring tower came with three sauces, a tangy chipotle (i think), a bbq, and a garlic aioli. The sauces were good and the onion rings were chunky, these were also perfect for sharing! Overall this is a solid spot to check out for the burgers! I believe they are also on door dash / Uber eats. read more

Tried Big League Burger in Chicago and it did not disappoint! I got the PB & JIARD burger, corn roasted cheese nuggets, and the baklava milkshake -- and everything was delicious. The burger was such a creative combo -- the peanut butter and giardiniera came together way better than I expected, giving it this perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savory. The corn roasted cheese nuggets were crispy, cheesy, and super addicting -- definitely a must-order side. And the baklava milkshake? Sweet, creamy, and packed with nutty flavor -- easily one of the best milkshakes I've had in a while. Big League Burger really knows how to make fun, bold flavors work. I'll definitely be back to try more! read more

Our Favorite Neighborhood Gem! This place is truly a staple for our family. It's everything you want in a neighborhood spot--family owned, welcoming, and consistently delicious. Whether we're craving a fresh salad, a juicy burger, or something authentic from their Greek menu (the GreekSadila, Greek Chicken & Gyros are must-haves!), they always hit the mark! The staff treats you like family, and the casual vibe makes it easy to relax and enjoy. Plus, the patio is dog-friendly, so our furry family member never gets left out. We feel lucky to have this place just around the corner--can't recommend it enough! read more

Food is good however, one thing I hate is you pre-order online but you have to stand in the ordering line for your pick up. They should have a pick up line or pick up area because why wait to pick up your food while people try to decide what they want to order. Got home opened food and order online is wrong Did not ask for onions, onions came on both burgers. read more

Ambience: The place is easily accessible from either the side street or Irving with an ample parking lot and great signage so you can't miss it. The baseball theme is used for the decor throughout the exterior and interior with grand wallpaper to the smallest details. There was only one family there when we arrived on a Sunday at lunch time. During our meal, a few people did come to order at the counter, but I was surprised how quiet the place was. Maybe when there's a big game, more people come since there are several nice TV screens showing sports. Service: It's order at the counter, but the service is excellent. We started staring at the menu overhead and right away, a cheerful employee offered us paper menus which was so much easier. We went away a free paces to review the extensive menu and found ourselves in the bar area so I took a pic of the bar specials. When another employee saw us there, she came over right away to serve us drinks. We weren't getting alcohol but I was impressed at how helpful everyone was. When we ordered , the employee let me know right away that my meal would take 20 mins. We weren't in a rush but were happy to be forewarned. She offered to bring out the salads right away to stave off some hunger. And although it was order at the counter, they brought the food to our table on beautiful bowls with reusable flatware. Food: neither of us were in the mood for a sandwich unfortunately. I suspect their burgers are the main star. But my sister ordered the kebabs and I got the half chicken. Both came with salads and I was quite impressed with them. My Caesar had homemade large bread crumbs that were crunchy and good if not overly seasoned with lots of freshly shaved Parmesan. The Greek salad was loaded with veggies including bell pepper, onions, olives, and even an anchovy! Unfortunately, neither of us were as impressed with our meals. Good but not 100%. The garlic bread was the best part which was flavorful with a lovely crunch and chew. Not overly garlicky but just a good flavor overall. Not too dry nor greasy at all. The coleslaw was also good in a standard sort of way. Creamy and crunchy. A refreshing contrast. However, I found my half chicken a bit dry. Not terrible just nothing to rave about. The bbq was poured on top not baked with it and was quite sweet without any depth or interest. So while it might have added some moistness, I pushed it off the chicken because it was too sweet for me. The rice was slightly firm and I would have preferred it cooked a bit more. It reminded me of Spanish rice which I happen to not enjoy. My sister's chicken kebabs were delightfully spiced but also far too oily so her bread was soggy from sitting on the oil. I dipped my dry chicken in the oil pooling on her plate which definitely enhanced my meal! Her potato wedges were drowning in oil which wasn't flavorful like that of the kebabs. I'd come again to try the sandwiches but wouldn't get the kebabs or the half chicken again. read more

I would have them 0 out of 5 stars if I could , they told me they're closed and online it showing 10pm (currently 8:30pm) and they're not serving me but they're people inside eating makes no sense what so ever.

What a fun place! We came here for dinner before we left out of town last week. The location is decorated with Cubs stuff inside and out. I also appreciated the Cubs Jerseys lined up on the walls on the way to the bathroom. Whoever got them done knows what's up as they are either Beckett or JSA'd authenticated which means its the real deal. It was a Friday night around 6p and the restaurant was about more than half full as the staff were buzzing around taking care of everyone about their food or delivering their drinks. The place is 1/2 bar and 1/2 restaurant and while the menu may be a bit overwhelming, the variety is appreciated. Given I was going to be a on plane for 4 hours, I didn't want to go too heavy so I just did a Natural Single Burger and had an Old Irving Park beer to go along with it as it was a keep your pint night. Next time, I would go with a double as that patty is small maybe 6oz? The fries were good and seasoned well. I know it was a Friday night and all but the House and Freestyle felt like it was at a volume 11. It was hard to have a conversation during dinner but again maybe it was because it was a Friday night? The parking lot can fit about 15 cars or so but you can find parking along Irving Park if necessary. I'd come back here but maybe do carry out next time. read more

Honestly, they could compete with any local burger bar. Food is outstanding. I shall try them again but hot damn. The scene and setting strikes like a local charbroiled grill except that they also offer a full bar. For the money you get quality and knocked to sleep if you can finish your meal. If you can portion, two meals are likely from that burger and fries. read more

Food was pretty good, sadly the experience as a whole was underwhelming. We went on the home opener hoping to enjoy the game as it is a Cubs burger spot/bar unfortunately the game was not on & the server Brenda was very unhelpful and clueless as to what we were asking when we asked if we could watch the Cubs game, never communicating that she'd try or what was going on- food was delicious but if you're looking for a place where the service is great and employees are actually happy to work I wouldn't suggest this place, the fact that it is decorated so nicely with Cubs from top to bottom and we were watching a Cardinals vs Red Sox game was extremely disappointing. read more

We live in the neighborhood and walked by so many times before the grand opening. It was popping, the place is very nice inside and the patio area has heat which is really nice! The staff was very friendly and we really love the way you can see the food cooking. We were excited to try the pull pork sandwich, hotdog, north side burger, and their signature BLB burger. We waited 25 min for our order and got home to eat. They mistakenly gave us the curveball instead of the BLB burger:( my husband was very sad but the curveball was ok. The burgers themselves were decent size for the price. Overall really good atmosphere, nice staff, and everyone wearing masks. We will give BLB 4 stars for that. Just make sure you check your orders before leaving the place if you order to go. read more

I haven't actually eaten the food. That's because on Saturday, November 23rd I tried to eat here. Their website says they're open until 10, however, it's 9:15, the doors are locked and the people working wouldn't even make eye contact when we tried to go in. read more

We tried a new place today called Big League Burgers and glad we did, their food was sooo good. Had the freshest burger and fries today along with nachos.

Came in for a quick dinner! Food is good - nice sports bar with indoor & outdoor seating. Graham central milkshake was amazing - I'm not a sweets person but it was delicious. Then I had the chicken pita sandwich which was mediocre. My partner had the burger and it was good. There seemed to be a lot of space open for a Saturday night so good place to come with a group. Would come back for ice cream etc. read more

We have passed this place so many times and never stopped until yesterday. REALLY impressed... awesome patio and atmosphere, very clean, large menu with decent prices, woman working counter on 10/19 night was extremely nice and helpful with a first time order (and she was really busy) and the best part...the food was OUTSTANDING! Thr fries here are 5 star alone, portions generous and items packed with flavor. Partner ordered the BLB burger (hands down best burger I've had in the city) and I had the american gyro. We will definitely be back soon! read more

Terrible service, the guy who owns it is very mean and disrespectful. The ambiance is not great and it's very loud.

Suchhhh good burgers and fries! Love that this place is in our neighborhood and is always playing the Cubs game. They also have a full bar and is a chill place to hang out. My wife also really likes their wings and the BLB sauce is super good read more

I truly enjoyed this place. Very nice staff, clean & modern, relaxed atmosphere, fancy drinks without being a fancy place :) PARKING There's a little parking lot, so no need to worry about street parking VALUE Overall, I thought the prices at this place were very reasonable! $5 for a dog and fries? Perfect. SERVICE The waitstaff was incredibly nice and polite. FOOD Tried the corn nuggets, which were awesome! They were like fried elote poppers. Delicious and so unique!! I will definitely get those again. Two members of our party got the hamburgers, which were very tasty and cooked to order. One of us got the steak sandwich, which was also good. The fries were good! They are natural fries, which I prefer. DRINKS I really enjoyed the meal, but one of my favorite components was the BOOZY SHAKE! It was DELICIOUS. The key lime pie shake tasted exactly like key lime pie. It had a good amount of alcohol and real crumbles of graham cracker. The boozy shakes will keep me coming back, for sure. There were also some fun cocktails, but I did not try one. Sangria float? So curious about this one- it sounds delicious and I will certainly try it when I return. THE CROWD While there are places to sit, many people were coming in to grab food to go. There was a descent amount of people but nothing too crowded. Mostly people from the neighborhood. Perfect to me! FINAL VERDICT I definitely look forward to returning to this place. I'm really happy to have found it and it's a great addition to the neighborhood. read more

Extremely disappointed in my order. I've gone here multiple times and the food was good, however the quality has gone down. I ordered two grilled cheese with bacon crispy, however there was really no cheese in the sandwiches and no bacon. I don't think I'll be going back. And I forgot to mention that its $15.00 for a grilled cheese. read more

We had been anticipating the opening of this burger spot ever since we saw the sign with their logo. Anything baseball related is a must check out for us! We were definitely pleasantly surprised the minute we walked in. My husband and I ordered the Gyro plate with the fries and the Chicken Cesar salad with a side of the onion ring tower. The portions were more than plenty for the both us and full of flavor. The chicken was charbroiled to perfection. The gyro meat was tender and flavorful and the onion ring tower had a side of a cilantro lime dip, which was delicious!! Overall we were very satisfied with our options and with the customer service. This place is a gem and we will definitely be back to try their burgers!! read more

I've had so many burgers in my life. I won't sit here and tell you that this was the best burger I've ever had, because it wasn't. However, the burger and Sweet Potato Fries was definitely delicious!! I also ordered the American Gyros, they were very nice to let me sample the Greek Gyros to see which one I would like better. I prefered the American Gyros it was really good. I also ordered the Grand Slam Nacho. They were really good and you get a enormous amount too. Food came out pretty quickly and was super delicious! read more

BLB is good, very good. Is it the "best burger in Chicago", as another reviewer touted? Absolutely not (Au Cheval and Mini Mott are two locations that can actually lay claim to that distinction) -- that claim is laughable. Burger needed a little more sear, though it was well seasoned and juicy. Topping proportions were a little out of whack as well -- I had the world's thickest tomato slice on my Northsider and three tiny pickles. Regardless of the faults, it's definitely one of the best "classic" burgers in the immediate area. If you're looking for a solid burger and fries in a fun, very heavy Cubs-themed environment, this is the place for you. Just don't expect to reach burger nirvana -- otherwise, you'll be disappointed. read more

Environment was super cute! They really stuck with a theme while not forcing it. The fries were amazing!! I got the Greeksadilla and wasn't happy with the meat to cheese ratio but the gyro meat was really well seasoned. read more

Let me begin by making it very clear; this place is a fast casual burger stand. However, they do it well. I went in for the BLB I saw advertised on Chicago's best. It was good. It was inventive. It was a little non-standard for the typical burger stand burger. At $15, a little spend he but frankly, not for what you get in its location. This is a very greasy, sloppy burger and you need to be prepared for that. I ate my last few bites with a fork! My wife had their take on the patty melt which she also described as a little on the greasy side, but again, we knew what we were in for and that's what we got. I don't eat a lot of fast casual, greasy cheeseburger's but when I do, I want a good one. I would say this place qualifies. read more

Lots of hype no substance. I promised myself during this freakin' pandemic I'd lay off bad rapping these smaller places but dammit I feel a little taken advantage of. I got a turkey burger (curveball burger indeed)! The thing that appealed to me was that this particular burger was made from "fresh turkey breast" I've eaten enough turkey burgers to know this was merely a claim without merit! The burger was substandard. cooked enough to encourage Patrick Kane to take a shot with it. Your fries got you the extra star guys. Step your game up! I'll continue buying to keep your doors open but once this mess is over I'll return to my highly critical self. read more

I've been waiting for this place to open ever since I saw the coming soon sign, so far I've tried their onion rings, "The Northsider" burger and a chocolate shake.

I can't wait to head back and try more items off their menu! read more

Loved, Loved the fact I can bring my kids and have a beer at the same time to catch a game. Came opening day for the cubs, they had a special going on the pitchers and wings. Great customer service, they gave my kids Cracker Jacks upon arrival, the sister's owner was so friendly also gave the kids each a ball. They had a guy doing cartoon portrait for the kids as well. The food was great too many options available, I had the Korean chicken wings they were tasty. Overall great experience definitely will be coming back. read more

Just decided to come here with some friends on a Saturday night. My new favorite place to go to for good food, a very friendly staff, and a comfortable setting both inside and out. Also, to find a dog safe and friendly space, I was more then pleased. The build your own burger was great. So many items to choose from and toppings, all made to order. True, there are plenty of places to go to for a hot dog or a hamburger in Chicago. But for a hamburger, this place takes the place, Move over Kuma's Corner, and over priced Au Cheval the touristy over crowded wait for ever joint. This burger beat yours, and their home made sliced pickles are fantastic. read more

Batter up my Foodzies, tonight we visited Big League Burgers at 3734 w Irving Park rd in Chicago. This is a vibrant Chicago Cubs theme restaurant. The crowd was friendly and receptive. The staff was very pleasant and knowledgeable. The menu was quite extensive packed with interesting items. I was a little disappointed that they were out of the cheeseburger rolls though. We have a vast array of other treats. First we had the Onion ring tower, a nice stack of large tasty rings accompanied by BBQ sauce and sriracha aioli. The sriracha was nice with a slight heat. Then we tried the boneless wings with sweet chili sauce. That could have been a little hotter, but nonetheless flavorful. We also had the steak sandwich, chicken kabob pita, the Northsider and the beef and sausage combo with mozzarella cheese and sweet peppers. The steak sandwich was grilled perfectly just could use a little flavoring. The Northsider was good size and had a great deal of flavor. The chicken kabob pita had a nice char, juicy but could use a little more pita so you can enjoy both skewers with some pita. Lastly the beef and sausage combo with mozzarella and sweet peppers. The sandwich was good size very filling. The sweet peppers were just green peppers sliced up. Sautéing them with garlic butter and onions would elevate them completely. All of the sandwiches came with fresh cut fries which were done well. We sat in the enclosure which was softly lit, heated and had an expertly done cartoon mural. Painted by Glenda's brother Ludwig. All in all we had a great experience. I give this restaurant 4 stars. Try it out and let me know what you think. Ciao Ciao for now. read more

Burgers are my all time favorite! So when I heard about this place opening I had to give them a try.... walking in I was impressed! The place is clean and the ambiance is very cool, especially if you're a baseball fan! The staff were very professional and friendly too. They went out of their way to help me understand the different burgers and even accommodated my friend's request of a "bun less burger". Now let's get to the good part... the burgers! I ordered the BLB Burger and my friend ordered the Northsider. It smelled so good that we decided we couldn't wait until we got home and ate them in the car... wowwwwww were they good! The BLB burger was juicy and full of flavor! I would definitely recommend it! I will be back! read more

I stopped by yesterday to try out this new spot for a burger and fries. Everything was terrific and cooked to order and served hot. Burgers do not taste like fast food burgers - they're quite good with fresh buns. Fries were really good too! I didn't eat inside (because, well, COVID) but my food was still hot when I got home. The decor is great inside and can't wait for the outdoor patio to open! I like that fries are included with burgers and not ala carte like other places. Definitely worth a visit! read more
