Burger Antics - PB&J burger - Burgers Near Me - Brookfield, Illinois

This is my FAVORITE place to eat and the place I take everyone to when they come to visit! The menu is always incredible with standard favorites and monthly specials. Not the fanciest place you'll eat at for sure but some of the best food and drinks you'll ever get! Perfect for everyone- one friend loves a good whiskey menu they've regularly got 2 pages of whiskey- another friend doesn't eat red meat and raves about the chicken burgers and me I'm in love with their ever changing cocktails menu. Best kept secret kinda place and always a crowd favorite amongst my friends and I. read more

Burger Antics - Burgers Near Me - Brookfield, Illinois

Very nice - not ur average hole in the wall! Went in on a Saturday 5:30pm had a 15 min wait for a table. Killed time at the very small -6-8 seats but very well stacked bar. I love bourbon- and they have a lot! Beer menu good but not as extensive. Got our table and out ninja waitress- Michelle! Was great. Very quick with service, great drink suggestions- old fashion was good- ask for it to be 1/2 sweetened - then its great! Plenty of booze without an over serve. Started with Mac n cheese - friggin awesome! Then on to burgers. Wife and I split one - very tasty and plenty to split! Had the cookie sundae for desert- split 2 ways. Plenty of sweet and a nice finish. Played speed racer on the TVs and had nice (classic rock) playing in the background. Not too loud! We will be back read more

If i can give 0 stars i would. Took one bite, 40 bucks for 2 burgers. so much onion on one burger and its like gamey? gross man never again. waste of damn life. mayo looks very globby and bread is burnt. brick patty. so sad read more

I'm a sucker for a good gastropub, and this place definitely qualifies. It's one small room, with a bar in the back corner that only sits about six people. I like that they were playing Wayne's world on the TV. I went with five friends before hitting up Galloping Ghost Arcade. We started with the mushrooms. Normally they give four, but since there were five of us at the table at that time, they gave us an extra shroom. The button mushroom caps are stuffed with goat cheese, roasted garlic, and grilled onion. They were a fine appetizer, though I'm not sure I would order it again. The pub chips are very solid. They're cut very thinly and dusted with a zesty BBQ seasoning. For my burger, I got the Midland, which is an English style burger. It had a hefty helping of Dijon mustard, along with some grilled onions, English cheddar, and plenty of sliced pickle chips. Nine ounces cooked to a perfect medium, served on a pretzel roll. It was one of those burgers that I couldn't put down, because if I did, I never would have been able to pick it back up again. It was so juicy though. I couldn't tell you what the blend of meats is or the meat to fat ratio, but I can guarantee it is top quality beef. Also, I loved the pickle spear. It actually has a little heat in it, it's not just a standard pickle spear. I had cole slaw as my side and it was just ok. It was chopped rather coarsely and the addition of white raw onion overwhelmed the rest of the slaw. Major props for featuring hand cut fries though. Major thumbs down to our waiter for wearing a 2016 World Series hat though. I almost didn't tip him just out of principle. That sin aside, despite living an hour away, I would definitely return when I am in the Brookfield area. read more

Ordered the BBQ bacon burger with a side of fries. They didn't put any ice in our water and the soda fountain was broken. When the food came the bacon was fatty and cold. They have their own signature ketchup and bbq sauce. Didn't care for the ketchup so used only the bbq for the fries. The waitress Christy B. was friendly. read more

Great burgers, good service, nice ambiance and works for kids. Everyone happy for dinner or lunch

The best tasting freshly made burgers. A must try for burger fanatics Never disappointed always perfect juicy burgers made your way read more

If you like juicy and messy burgers this is your place! A ton of topping options and every time I've been there they were playing cartoons to keep the kids occupied. It is fairly small so get there early to catch a table for dinner. Also dress warm as one wall is full of windows and can get pretty chilly in the winter. read more

This place has some great burgers! We got the standard issue burger to go (Note: apparently they don't take to-go orders after 5pm, we got our order in just in time) and it was fantastic. It was topped with bacon, egg, and cheese which seem like everyday toppings, but somehow they made it into one of the best burgers I've ever had. One thing to note is that I asked for medium well and the burger was still pretty pink on one side. It wasn't evenly cooked through as I prefer. It came with a side of fries (HUGE portion) which were great. At $13, this isn't cheap for a burger and fries but it's not a bad price either. If you go here, I would recommend trying the sliders. You can get three different types of burgers for around $10-11. They let me know it doesn't come with a side of fries but I think a side order is large and relatively cheap. That's what I saw everyone getting when I walked in to pick up my order! Lastly, go early. This place was packed at 5pm on Saturday! To summarize - this place has great burgers, go check it out! read more

I lived in Chicago for 15 years and have had many of the city's best burgers: Au Cheval, The Bad Apple, Owen & Engine, Kuma's, Table Donkey Stick, etc. The burgers at Burger Antics contend neck and neck with the best city burgers. I got the one with peanut butter, jelly, and bacon... and added jalapeños. It was truly decadent. I had a delicious smoked cocktail as well. Burger Antics is absolutely a destination across Chicagoland. read more

The ideal experience! Perfect burger, perfect hand cut fries and great staff made our first visit a memorable one. We'd come from a funeral visitation and this experience lifted our spirits as we were ecstatic to enjoy the ideal burger. PERFECTLY cooked and seasoned so well we all agreed we could eat the burger alone and be in heaven. We've told everyone about it since and will certainly stop in again when in town! read more

Everything is made from scratch......even the catsup. The flavor and quality of the burgers are fantastic. The fries are hand cut and delicious. Come hungry because there's a ton of food. Desserts are great as well. This is an all around win. The inside is decorated with local artists work but the place is totally down to earth and not pretentious. Love it! read more

Great gourmet burgers with excellent beef done to perfection every time!!! You won't be disappointed. Good whiskey choices also. read more

The food was great, the fries, the burger. It definitely hits the spot when craving a nice juicy burger. The service was outstanding, the waitress was very nice and always checked up on our table. The location was very good and also very close to Brookfield Zoo. i would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

small place but my son and I loved the ambiance. The music was spot one, we both like grunge rock music and they were playing some Japanese cartoons. I didn't drink but they have craft sodas for the non-drinkers, that was a nice touch. My son and I shared our first burger, it was cooked to perfection. I went with the chips because of the BBQ seasoning. We ended ordering another burger and this time with fries. Those were the best fries I have had in a long time. I for sure will be back with my wife for some cocktails and a burger. read more

Great place, great burger. The best part is they have limitless options to mix and match, but I went with their burger of the month, the bite my ass. It was a thick and juicy 9 oz patty topped with a huge portion of smoked pork butt and giardenera. It is a really unique mix that worked perfectly. It was even better after adding carmelized onion to the mix. Good stuff. All the burgers come on a toasted pretzel bun, as well as a side. The fries, served with house made ketchup, were top notch. Any burger can be made with chicken or black bean patty, too. No matter what kind of burger you like to eat, you'll find something to enjoy here. No reservations, but they had plenty of space at 7.30 on the Saturday before Christmas Eve. Speaking of Christmas, the beer list, which was full of great options, included a delicious Prairie Bomb Christmas stout. It was an explosion of Chriatmas flavor in my mouth, and 13% abv. They earn some bonus points right there. read more

Love the burgers at Burger Antics!! You have to try them all and the best way is the trio! And don't be intimidated by the PB&J burger it's a MUST!! read more

Yeeee I love this place. I first came here because my friend worked here. But I instantly found out they have the best brunch and great bloody marys. Except not a fan of the pickled asparagus in the drink. Anyway, they have a secret homemade ketchup that's to die for and they play movies (on silent) over the TVs while you can chat with the bartenders and fellow patrons. The other great thing is that they feature art all the time on the walls and help promote our local struggling artists. read more

Oh my god is this place cool or what? The burgers I had were the sliders and they were phenomenal. My mom had the wings which were absolutely huge. My cousin had a 9 oz. build your own and it was delish as were the fries. The server Staci was very knowledgeable about the menu and really helped create the experience. I will definitely return for my next visit. read more

4 1/2 stars for me! Honestly, the burgers speak for themselves. Absolutely outstandingly delicious. I'm talkin' the king of all burgers. With all the rave reviews I guess I was surprised that Burger Antics is a small place and nothin' fancy. We ended up sitting at the bar since it was just the two of us and the bartender was super friendly and helpful. I thought it was funny that they have three TVs all playing whatever DVD they choose... I believe it was the original Ghostbusters on when we were there :) They have a full bar with great craft beers, whiskeys, and more to choose from. I wasn't in the drinking mood though, so I decided to indulge in one of their craft sodas which I thought was unique. The leninade sparkling lemonade is what I had. It was really good, but surprisingly orange colored! To eat we started with the shrooms which included 4 very small white button mushroom caps stuffed with goat cheese, roasted garlic, and grilled onion. I was a bit surprised by the size of this app, but the shrooms were tasty none the less. For the main event I went with the BBQ cheddar burger which came with house made bbq sauce, applewood smoked bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, and grilled onions all layered between a pretzel bun. Holy drool-worthy! This burger was amazing. Sure, I felt like a bit of a fat kid and got full half way through, but it was too good not to finish. To top it off, this beauty came with a pickle spear that had a bit of a kick to it. I chose their pub chips as my side which are cut in house and tossed in their house made bbq seasoning. Yummy! I definitely suggest stopping by Burger Antics for a burger and a drink. If you want to make a night out of it like we did, head on over to the Galloping Ghost Arcade after! read more

Burger of the week and burger of the month. That takes a lot of dedication to change your menu that much as it shows the creativity and love for the job and that's a place I want to eat at. Slider Plate - I thought I would have to order a ton of other things but those three sliders will fill you up. All the burgers have been really juicy. From the sliders to the regular size burger. So never been disappointed with that. Season not to over powering...slightly wish it had more but still better than most that burn/dry out the meat to no flavor at all. I would recommend for most to get this the first time as it gives a chance to experiment with three different flavors. BBQ bacon cheddar - I first tried this treat in the slider size portion but it has won me over to get the lager version. When I first notice the dollop of BBQ sauce I was concern it wasn't going to be enough but it blended nicely. Meat was cooked exactly how I asked for the larger size (cooked medium). Dropped an egg on top and made the sandwich awesome. (my fav burger) Black 'N Blue - Blue cheese crumbles with blue cheese dressing and frizzled onions. Ingredients tasted really fresh of the block and not prepackaged. (2nd fav) 4 cheese burger - provolone, muenster, pepper jack and fried the mozzarella. the most visual but least fav for me...not in a bad way just for me I wish it had some kind of sauce that made it more unique (like mango aioli?--new burger of the week? You can call it Sweet L :D ) because the blend of those four cheese together was a little lost to me. I couldn't identify with what flavor cheese was prominent in the bite of the burger. Hotter Than Hell- Smoked gouda, avocado, grilled jalapenos, and house made chipotle mayo..the name makes it sound like you're going to be in the bathroom a long time but was tame to me. Will add the grilled habaneros to it next time. Pesto Burger - (weekly burger) heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella with pesto Good.. slightly wish I had some onions but I'm sure it was just cause I was craving the BBQ bacon cheddar that comes with grilled onions. Mushroom Swiss - Honestly I don't recall to much I smashed this kind of quick. It's not one that really stood out to me. Shrooms/Wings - to keep it short, I just didn't like it..can't win them all.. The mushrooms came down to not wanting to eat it as I only ate one to be polite to the person that ordered it. The wings I could eat but I just wouldn't order them again as I didn't find them to be special/upscale to be worth it. Pub Chips - At first I thought someone dropped some kind of liquid on my chips (slightly still do) as the outside was crunchy but the middle parts for some of them had like a moist feel on my tongue. The BBQ seasoning on them were great ...minus the wet feeling with some of the chips. Fries - Potatoes they actually chop up and cook so basically you know they are good. Maple Bacon Doughnut - FRESH! the only drawback was mine was a little overdone as the outside was a little hard/crispy but wasn't a big deal. I would get again. Drinks - I haven't ordered anything but the list is impressive to me. beer list although not massive. Everyone can find something. They also have a mix of craft soda and wine. So again everyone should be able to find SOMETHING! Although I didn't like my appetizers. I didn't come here for that. I came for a burger and been back because those Lil' Mijo's are good. read more

After our visit to Brookfield Zoo, we stopped at Burger Antics for lunch. It was a real mixed bag of reviews between me, my husband and adult son. What we liked: The burgers. The pretzel bread buns the burgers were on. The thick bacon The slice of cheddar cheese on the burger The sauted onions on the burger The generous serving of french fries and the french fries themselves. In other words, we liked the food. What we weren't too excited about: The homemade ketchup. None of us liked the flavor. Wish we could have asked for a nice bottled ketchup to go with those delicious fries. Pickle that comes with the burger - beware, it is a hot pickle. The noise problem. I know that the owners are addressing it but until they get it fixed, it is a real problem. We got there about 1 hr. before closing and the restaurant was 3/4 full. Noise level was too much for us. Not only the normal adult conversations but then when you add in a couple of toddlers who scream at different times.... It was enough to ask my family if they'd like to get our lunch to go. The others did not want to leave. After a little while the table of 12 left and the noise level came down to what we considered just 'loud' but acceptable. read more

Dan the owner, was definitely the reason why I gave them 4 stars.... Well actually no... I lied... It's the Maple Bacon Doughnut.... Unbelievable!!!! Soooo good!!! My BF and I have heard good things about this place... So before watching the Blackhawks in a sports bar (Sanctuary right across burger antics -- review is next ) We had to eat early dinner. The only flaw..... Had to take one star away because..... No one even greeted us... The servers were just looking but not welcoming We just decided to sit ourselves... A few minutes later.... Our server... Cameron introduced himself and gave us a lil spiel .... He was nice but everyone should be nice.... There must have been 4-5 servers total, including the bartender? I mean this is a very small place.... When you open the door.... You can see everyone .... Would it kill the bartender or other servers to say Hi? Or was it because I'm Asian and my BF is Black? Smh.... This was our first time here and THAT first impression wasn't good at all.... But hey .... Good food always make things better.... And that's what they have!!! We ordered the ff: Fried pickles 4/5 Hotter than Hell 5/5 -- juicy, moist and cooked to perfection accdg to my BF who wanted it medium rare. 3 Samplers ( bbq bacon cheddar, mushroom Swiss, 4cheese burger ) -- love this platter... Was able to try most of the burgers and they're all juicy and had their own flavor -- 5/5 Maple Bacon Doughnut -- 5/5 -- this is just heavenly... Not too sweet not to salty -- warm and doughy..... Love love it We spent less than $60... Wow... What a treat!!! Dan, spent some time with each table, saying hello to patrons and spent time with us as well. Great guy!!! We will be back!!! read more

I have been here a few times and their previous location and have never been disappointed!! Amazing Mac and cheese, to-die-for fried pickles (oh so juicy!), great beer selection, and the best veggie burger patty ever! So I actually never had a meat burger but I can only imagine because their bean veggie burgers are made to perfection! Sometimes I forget it is not a real burger. I usually build my own burger which is fun! Their homemade fries and ketchup are such a special treat. This burger joint is a MUST visit in the burbs! read more

Best burgers anywhere. The husband and wife team of Dan & Brenna, owners of Burger Antics have won the best burgers anywhere award. OMG what A burger experience I had tonight. The taste of the beef really comes through and thank goodness for the pretzel bun to soak up all the massive juice. I had muenster cheese, onion frizzles, dill pickle chips and chipotle mayo on my perfectly all pink "medium" burger with homemade bbq potato chips. The list of add ons and options for your burger is at least 25 options and they are all well thought out. There are several other options besides the burgers including Mac n cheese salads and even a black bean burger and a special burger of the month too. Washed it down with a Sioux City Berry Berry Soda. ( yep Berry Berry ). Dan prides himself for his selection of gourmet sodas and there are about twenty to choose from various specialty providers. Having used up all my alcoholic drink tickets long ago, a thoughtful selection of non alcohol beverages is rare and much appreciated. Note there is an extensive list of craft beers and a very special whiskey menu for your enjoyment. Now the dessert review.....i have not met Brenna yet.... She is the master chef here and resident pastry goddess of Brookfield and greater Chicago area.....I almost sent a marriage proposal to Brenna after eating half of a homemade , made to order , warm ,succulent and savory Honey Maple Bacon donut. I decided not to propose only because Dan seems like a great guy and my buddy & I had a great conversation with him about Burger Antics. My current wife also may.... may have an objection also. Dan and Brenna are the bomb! I'm already planning for my next Burger Antic attack! I can't wait to Go back! read more

I tried the BBQ cheeseburger and it was delicious. The service was extraordinary and the staff was extremely friendly. Our waiter took a slip and instead of getting upset or becoming angry - he was so attentive to my family and I. If you want a family friendly place with great food and service- I highly recommend this place. read more

We found this on Yelp, were intrigued, and had to stop by. The stars aligned and we made it here for lunch on a Sunday. We were seated right away (I don't think they take reservations), and we decided to order burgers. I decided to order the barbeque bacon cheddar burger with everything on it. My girlfriend, who doesn't eat meat, went with the black bean burger. I was thrilled to learn that all burgers come with pretzel buns, which are definitely the best kind of buns! I also got fries on the side, which were delicious. They make their own housemade ketchup, which is definitely different from your Heintz 57, but not necessarily in a bad way. It was all good! My only issue here was the service. Even though there weren't that many people dining in, the only waitress working seemed very flustered. She forgot to ever check in with us and she took so much time to bring us the check that we finally had to go up to the bar and inquire about it. My impression was that they somehow weren't properly staffed. Maybe more people dined in than they were expecting. It wasn't that big of a deal, but good service should be something easily changeable for management to make people feel more satisfied and well taken care of. I can say with sincerity that Burger Antics is an excellent burger option if you don't feel like trekking all the way to the city only to wait for a seat at Kuma's or Au Cheval. They also have a very decent craft beer selection there, which I will have to take advantage of the next time I come here. I have heard of a lot of other people from the neighboring suburbs talk about going to Burger Antics, and it's not surprise. It's a great place! read more

Omg. What can I say about this place other than I wish we had found it WAY sooner than we had. We ate here with friends on Saturday outside, then returned on Sunday and ate inside and ordered the same thing two days in a row because it was that good! We shared the slider trio - we ordered the black and bleu, the midland, and the bbq bacon cheddar. I should have taken photos but we were too eager to eat! All three were served on pretzel buns - really the only way to serve an awesome burger. The toppings were enormous - everything that fell off, we put on top of our fries - which were also incredible. I highly recommend the house-made ranch for the fries - it has dill in it and a very distinct flavor. The servers were great and attentive and they did a great job adhering time social distancing and wearing masks. This burger joint has literally ruined all other burger places for me from this point on. read more
