    Live music is back tonight! Don't listen to that other guy! Didn't eat food but several people near me are eating and it smells so good! They have $1 or $8 burger deals too. Very great price

    Atmosphere: Weekday not too noisy. Dive Bar/Bar food Food: I ordered a Brudder Grabber which had Fried Egg, Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, Onion Straws (which I declined), Chipotle and Mayo. By it being Wednesday it was $6.00! It also came with Fries. Everything was good. Server/Bartender: Yahna? Drinks: I ordered a Strawberry Margarita which wasn't on the menu and Yahna made it so well! I'd return to try other specials on other days or to grab a drink.

    Amazing live music venue that embodies CHICAGO at its finest. Great prices, good music, cheap bar food. Great time!

    It's a shame to see the live music is coming to an end. Just when I started to like the place too. The only redeeming quality of this establishment was the live music. It's not like the food stood out, the service was mediocre at best. As a lifetime Chicagoan this is what the neighborhood needed. A place to come unwind and listen to some great musicians do what they do best. I truly wish I could say I would be back, but as mentioned. Nothing special about this place without the music.

    Love going here on Wednesdays when I lived nearby. Now we're about an hour way and try to visit here there just for their great hospitality and burgers are much better each time. A Hump day special of $6 for a burger w fries/tots, plus other drink specials! You can't beat that!

    Yet another update. 5 stars because what was I thinking the first time, the food here is delicious. Love the wings, the burgers, the chipotle chicken wrap, the poppers, the tots, all of it!

    I'm going to keep it 100 when it comes to Brudder's - I only recommend coming to this place on Hump day. Every Wednesday they have $5 burgers that comes with tots or fries. The burgers are bomb!! If it's your first time I would definitely get the brudder grabber. Other then that the rest of the menu is okay. The place does have a nice little scene on the wked's and in regards to wing Monday - those are NOT jumbo wings but at $5, who's complaining? I would also like to say to stay away from the pizza - It's not good, period. NOW, if you are hungover like shit, I would recommend their nachos. The nachos are a hot mess, filled with all kind of delicious ingredients (guac, sour cream, cheese, etc) and the portion can feed a family of four (I'm not joking). Overall: If your in the area on a Wednesday night, why not? Would you make a 10+ minute trip to this place - NO. ******Major key: Sit where the waitress or waiter can see you. There are only two of them (need to hire at least one more person) and this place gets bumping on Wednesday's - so be prepared to wait 10-15 minutes in between check-in's from the waiters. Brudder's as a whole 2/5. The burgers though 4/5.

I got sat at the bar area where you can see all the action of the kitchen. The place is busy and full and I think it's awesome that it's an open kitchen cause you can see the magic happening. My waitress was super friendly and seems like she's used to everyone coming in to try the burger lol I heard her repeat the spiel many times. A single patty is 2 and a double is 3z I went with a double but honestly should have done a single. Food came out quick and the burger is super juicy. Fries were hot and delicious and even though it was the simplest burger I've ever had in my life I would say it's one of my top three favorite burgers I've ever had. Can't wait to come back.

    The Chronicles of Ragebaiting My Brother continue…read more My brother is a die hard Chicago fan. He visited once during a college internship in 08 and decided he would move to this city. Shout out to him for doing the damn thing. Although I would like to mention it was I who named it and claimed it for myself way back in 2001 after a visit to the city for a college conference. However me and my bestie couldn't figure out how to make it happen on a 20,000 labor organizer salary lmao. So we remain on the east coast while my swagger jacking little brother paints the Windy City red. Anyway because he's so in love with this city and knows its in and outs, I often send him dubious "influencer content" of recent transplants that act like just because THEY just Columbus'd a new spot it must be new to EVERYONE. And the recommendations are often awful and likely paid for (extorted). It sends him into a rage which again - we love. My fave kind of terrible content to send him is Top 10 burger spots in Chicago. The lists are often wrong, outdated, and criminally under seasoned. Every once in a while though there is a fleeting moment of alignment and Little Bad Wolf is it. This truly may be the best burger in Chicago. Food: -Wolf burger - egg fried HARD for me -Bad burger - add egg for my brother -Bad burger - as is for my mom -crab cakes - for SIL -mashed potato- for the toddler -Brussels sprouts for the table The patties were well seasoned and melted in my mouth. I adore crispy onion straws. Beer was crisp and refreshing. Service was outstanding Perfect vibe on a midday Monday Bench and chair seating for all bodies. 100% worth the hype! The menu description is also a good way to annoy your loved ones. See pics for my friend's visceral reaction lmaooo
