    The Curse Burger and Obama Burger with Kaiser bun.
    Donna M.

    Our concert at Wrigley was delayed due to weather so we stopped here for a bite. It was BUSY and LOUD but nothing a bad way. We both had burgers my the curse burger was awesome just the right amount of jalapeños and a bun that held up. My husband's Obama burger was just as good. I think it would be a fun place to stop before a Cubs game.

    We were in town with friends for a Wrigleyville experience and we enjoyed a night of local food and great company! The restaurant was open and airy, lots of dining areas, bar stools, and tv monitors to catchup and or watch the games. It had a legendary feel with some good history. A place where Cubs fans enjoy a recap or night cap. Located close to the Wrigley Stadium and serves fans with purpose and pride. Our host was friendly and accommodating, made recommendations, and checked in on us regularly. It was an awesome time well spent in wonderful places while exploring Chicago's wrigleyvil

    My favorite Billy goat location. The deluxe burger is the only thing that comes close to filling the hole in my heart from not having access to Runza's cheeseburger here in Chicago. Love that this location has fries. Mag mile is gritty, whereas this is luxury. Could pass on the Billy balls. Server was fantastic and gave us plenty of attention on a slower Wednesday night.

    Came in before the cubs game. A double cheeseburger is only $8 bucks! No price gouging here. Good to see an honest business still exist. Ordered the double cheeseburger burger and my wife had the grilled. Cheese, no sides included but again prices are reasonable. Good drink selection, great service if you're in the area either for a game or even just in the area I would strongly recommend stopping in here. Food was very tasty..

    Welp, I have been to the Original location and the one at the airport and this one wins. Why you may ask? 1 - "Cheezborger" 2 - Bubbles 3 - French Fries Man I love me some Billy Goat "Cheezborger" but always wished they have some hot fries to go with them. This location has them and I love that. They also have other burgers beyond the "Cheezborger" that has become iconic and sandwiches as well, so you have a selection of items to chose from. If you are a person who loves breakfast at night, you have the option of ordering breakfast sandwiches. The bar was pretty chilled as we were there on a non Cubs night and I loved it. There are two sides to the bar, so we sat at the bar. There was a small sitting area at the front of the bar that allows you to sit facing the street and potentially interacting with folks on the street when the front door/window is open. The bartender was nice and was attentive and that burger was good, so good that I wanted to order a second one before hitting the Alamo for a movie, but didn't. And I was happy that they had prosecco as you know I love my bubbles. I can see this becoming a regular hangout for me and The Queen when we hit The Alamo, provided it is not a home game for the Cubs.

    Don't judge this photo by the way it looks. This sandwich was awesome. Service was great and the food was even better. Give us place a ride. It looks like a little hole in the wall dive bar and that's pretty much what it is, but they've got somebody in the back that can really throw down on this beef sandwich.

    We stopped by to grab some food after one of the cub games. I was surprised it wasn't as busy as I anticipated, and we were able to sit down at one of the tables in the corner. I opted for a grilled chicken salad while my family ordered wings and burgers. The salad was decent size with a small chicken breast, grilled and blackened. Everything tasted pretty good, but it was somewhat lacking something on the salad because all I had on it was lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese, and chicken. The others enjoyed their food and drinks.

    Great place. Open all day for food! The staff are all amazing and make you feel like home. If you're looking for a chill place near Wrigley. This is the place.

    I haven't been to the original, but this one is quite great! I love the decor inside and all their drinks are named after goats (I.e, angry goat, horny goat, jazzy goat). Our server explained the history of a few of the history on the wall, which I thought was interesting. The burger itself was just how I remembered it, maybe even better. A slight buttery flavor, but the patty was great! Love the taste, and their ranch is fantastic. The dill flavor is incomparable to any other ranch I've had. Fries were good, and this time of year it's decorated for Christmas too! Check this spot out :)

    Legendary place!! Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger! Coke no Pepsi!! The burger was good, nothing to it. Taste very homemade and maybe I was expecting a little more pizzazz. The fries were delicious added to texture to the burger. The beer is cold and the service is perfect. I like all the nostalgia that comes with this place, and it's a Cubs spot for sure. It must visit spot.

    My Church!! Just a hop and a skip from the Billy Goat!!

    Cheezborger! Cheezborger! No Coke! The Goat is in Wrigleyville!! Just north of the Friendly Confines on Clark by the Metro Theater, use to be Trace. Good priced beers (Old Style) on draft, good double Cheezborger, the original for under $9, solid Chicago sports bar, open windows to Clark and solid service for pregamming or post....Go Cubbies!!

    Great atmosphere with a great group of employees to talk with. We stopped by after games and we grabbed seats immediately. We grabbed ice, cold, beers, and ordered food. I went with the Philly cheesesteak and it did not disappoint. I'm definitely trying the cheeseburger next time. I can't wait to come back to this bar next time we were in the area.

    Amazing Tito's Blue Raspberry Lemonade drink. Would not get a frozen drink ever. Except for this one. Get here before this place is truly found out. Friendly staff, great spot.

The place is on a beautiful corner spot and the interior is great, with an excellent music taste as well. Our party of 10 was celebrating a birthday, and our time was well spent. Server Liv was amazing, she matched our energy, made jokes, and was super helpful with our needs. I got the burger, and it was delicious. No complaints heard from any of the other orders, though. Overall, it was a very fun experience for a fun occasion. Thank you!

Being the area I made reservations which I can tell you is HIGHLY recommended, if on a game day. I cannot speak for things on a day that's not one but this was and they were booming with a line out the door. We were sat promptly upon arrival and greeted quickly by our server. She was incredibly kind and even seeked information for us regarding parking in the area, thank you! We started with a cocktail and a draft beer, I had the Dovetail on draft and they are very good and local! Appetizer was a bit of a let down, we ordered pretzel bites, which seemed like the ones you buy from Walmart, not fresh at all, queso wasn't bad tho Entrees were on point tho! My rigatoni was cooked perfectly and the bolognese was full of flavor, my wife got her burger and had no complaints on her end. Overall not a bad experience, I would like to try them again on a day that's not a game day in the future and maybe ask for a suggestion on appetizers next time as I feel that one was a complete skip. Til next time!

    Sheffield's management or bouncer was beyond rude and broke the ada law upon my 5 minute…read moreinteraction with him today. *I have a service + therapy dog with me. He's been certified for 3 yrs* Upon walking up to the establishment with my fiancé and service dog, there was an officer there wearing a badge. He acknowledged how cute Rory (my service dog) was and stated he was a service dog. He then asked if he could pet Rory, I said yes that would be fine with me. Another gentleman, not sure what role he played at the establishment, approached us while the officer was still there. He began questioning me and Rory's legitimacy on being a service dog since he just saw the officer pet him. I informed him that the officer had asked and I said it was ok. He then said "we have a lot of people that pretend their dogs are service dogs to get them in"; I replied I have his badge and the dog trainer's(dog training elite) number to contact her. He allowed us in. Less than a minute latter when my finance, Rory, and I were walking to a table, the bouncer/manager re-approaches us and says we have to leave predicated on the notion I let an officer say hi and pet Rory after the officer had asked. The law allows establishments to only ask 2 questions when it comes to service animals; 1) Is it a legitimate service animal? 2) What service is the service animal providing? I was only asked #1, if Rory was a service animal, I am allowed to give my service animal a break on occasion and I decide who can and can't say hi to him. Have never been discriminated like this in my life. And will never be returning to the facility.
