    With the restrictions with COVID-19 we have been searching out different options. A co-worker suggested this place. What a great experience. Old fashioned drive in, so they take your order and bring it to your car. My husband had the chili which he enjoyed and I had their specialty burger which was delicious. I had the opportunity to meet the owner who was a really nice guy. Thanks for being there for us Chicagoans!

    My son suggested this after I turned down White Castle. I'm glad that I stuck to my guns. The burger was pretty thick, about a 1/4 lb in size. They use brioche buns. The malt was thick, creamy, with a bit of an ice crunch - just the way I like it. I think that the patties are frozen, though. The shape was just too perfect, and it was kind of dry, like frozen patties tend to be. I spent $25 for two meals, including a large basket of fries. Just a little pricey, but ok for once in a while.

    Eggnog shake

    Had a taste for a burger so we Decided to go to Blue Top drive in. Was greeted by a very friendly waitress. She asked where we liked to sit. She gave us the specials of the day, which happened to be holiday flavored shakes. We tried the eggnog shake. It was amazing, would highly recommend if you like eggnog. Burger was good.

    Lots of counter stools open tonight

    Unless you are coming to gawk at classic cars, do yourself a favor and don't come at all. After years of waiting for someone to buy the Blue Top and turn it around -- what a disappointment. Blue Top is a refurbished Diner/Drive-In. Guy Fieri would call it a dive, too, if he tasted the food. Fries are frozen, burgers probably are too. And if you order a Fried Egg Burger like I did, you might get a scrambled egg burger. Good lord. I can go to another new burger place (named after Michael Stivic, hint hint) and get a burger made with fresh meat and a FRIED egg for less. Other family members got mayo, mustard and ketchup on their sponges -- err, buns -- and they got SOGGY. Yuck. When the best part of a burger joint's meal is the fried zucchini stick, watch out. Like I said, go to gawk at cars but bring your own food. Ain't that a shame? My tears fall like rain. Blue Top's the one to blame.

I tried the burnt ends and the turkey, and both were incredible. Perfectly cooked and full of flavor. It's about an hour away for me, so not somewhere I'd go out of my way for, but definitely worth stopping if you're in the area.

    It had been years since my last visit to Bombers, but they absolutely came through for us with a…read moreMother's Day pickup order. We ordered the Black Bullet party pack which comes with two pounds of brisket and two large sides. We went with fries and beans, and also added ribs, mac and cheese, and buns to the order. The brisket is still the star of the show. The spice rub on it is perfect, and it's so tender that it's unreal. The fries are exactly the kind of battered fries I like which was a pleasant surprise because I feel like not many places do them that way. The beans were okay... a little sweeter than I personally prefer, but they had huge chunks of pork in them that I definitely appreciated. We also added two slabs of ribs, and they fell right off the bone. I'm usually not a huge ribs person, but these were well cooked and flavorful. Mom loved them, and that's what really matters. We did have a few small issues with the order. We realized that our mac and cheese was unfortunately missing when we got home. They also ran out of pretzel buns midway through packing things up, so we ended up with a mix of pretzel and brioche buns instead. Honestly, we didn't mind that one too much because it gave us a chance to try both (I'd pick pretzel if I were you). When we picked up the order the place was absolutely packed, so it was hard to be upset over an honest mistake. They were clearly incredibly busy. I still don't really care for the sweeter sauce that tastes heavily like peppers to me, but their vinegar-based sauce (which I think is their original?) was much better than I remember. I'm glad to see this place is still around and still holds up after all this time. More importantly, the brisket is every bit as good as I remembered.
