We went to this place after the bears game because it was the closest place & also started raining. The hostess was the most pleasant part of the experience, as she was very kind & accommodating. The burger however, so overcooked. My fiancé & I both ordered medium & they were burnt. The server didn't seem to care. For a place with burger in their name....so disappointed. read more

Yummy burgers, Great wings, kind of expensive cool atmosphere! To build your own burger it can easily run you $25!! And thats just for the burgers! Fries and anything extra is an additional charge. Ive had better parmesan fries but the server was helpful! read more

Bad experience this evening. Spent $75.00, including tip, on a beer, a glass of house wine, a Cobb salad, & an order of wings. The wings were actually drumsticks, & were tough (!). Why call them wings? This used to be a good place, before COVID. Now, don't bother. read more

We were able to get right in at 6:45 on a Friday night, which was great. They have a wide variety of beer selections that were reasonably priced. I had the backyard classic with bacon, lettuce, red onion, and tomatoes. The bacon was just one thick piece and it was candied, I think, but I wasn't a fan and you couldn't have the bacon in every bite of burger. I ended up taking the bacon off the burger, and I'm usually not one to reject bacon. The truffle fries were really delicious but the urban sauce (some mixture of ketchup and mayo) was meh. My boyfriend had the firehouse with sweet potato fries. He reports that it was pretty good and seemed to really like the chipotle sauce. I snagged a sweet potato fry with lime crema and it was delicious. The service was decent, but they didn't refill water the whole time we were there, which wasn't great. All in all, pretty good burgers and it's going to be pretty hard to live above this burger place and not consume my body weight in burgers. read more

Bar is neat and has a good atmosphere and good music selection. Now for the experience.. the best part about it was the deviled eggs. We got a margarita and a vodka lemonade. Both drinks were so strong we couldn't even take more than two drinks. Next we got burgers and fries. Ordered both medium and one came out correct the other was burnt. They messed up our order of fries. Server was rushing around and when we told our issues basically blew us off. Definitely do not recommend. I wasted $100 on this place read more

First time ever on a Saturday (January) around 2ish in the afternoon for lunch, my boyfriend and i stopped in. It wasn't very crowded (im sure due to the weather that day). Service was fairly quick, however not the best. By this i mean our server was polite and somewhat attentive, my thing was i like to be asked if we had ever been there and get some suggestions. Maybe this wasn't the case because it's a burger "bar". All in all my experience was good and the food tasted great! FOOD: We started off with appetizers (bratwurst corn dogs) tasted great along with dipping sauce. My boyfriend ordered their burger of the month. I took a bite and it was very yummy and spicy. I ordered a grass fed burger with provolone cheese and lettuce, tomatoes & red onion. I like to keep things simple. Along with their sweet potatoes fries. Very good and filling. I stuck with water because i don't drink. However my boyfriend ordered one of their beer's (don't remember which one) but he had no complaints. DECOR/ATMOSPHERE - Nice decor and atmosphere. Feels like a bar low key & chill. Seemed clean from what i saw. $$$ - It's about average pricing for a good steak burger. STAFF/SERVICE - i pretty much explained this above. I dislike judging from a first experience from one person because everyone is different. People have off day's, people have different attitudes and personality's etc. I don't judge harshly so i overlook this type of things most of the time unless it is a really bad experience. That is why i still rated this 5 stars. I like to look at the overall picture of my experience and if positive outweighs the negatives then I'm sold. read more

I was really excited to try this plate out after my sister raved about how good it was.. honestly, it was okay . I don't eat red meat and liked that they had turkey and shrimp burgers as an option. I had the shrimp burger, but it literally tasted like the ocean. I also had their chips, which comes with cheese & guacamole, the cheese was gross. read more

My brother found this place while visiting some of his old friends and as soon as he got home he told. We headed to Burger Bar. After picking up his car from the parking, we decided to go grab early dinner. I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly everyone was at this bar. They really take time to discuss menu and bar items with you. We sat at the bar and had great service. I got the 3 Floyds Gumball Head which is American wheat ale brewed with white wheat and dry-hopped with hand-selected hops from the Yakima Valley. It had a bright and refreshing with a lemony finish. 5.6% ABV. For food, we enjoyed a burger. The burger was so good. It had onion rings, beef brisket, and horseradish sauce. It was so delicious. I would definitely come back just for the burger. Check this place out if you want a good meal and great service read more

Cool little hangout within walking distance of local hotels. Near Lake Michigan just across from Grant Park. Variety of local taps and fast refills read more

Had a great dining experience here. Waitress was extremely kind and friendly! Ordered the Barbacoa Stacker. Tasty! Definitely could have been more tender but nonetheless, a stuffing burger. Paired it with the parmesan truffle fries and those are a MUST get. Food: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 read more

We happened to stumble across this place while we were searching for another restaurant, and im so glad we chose this place! We had a few deaf people in our group which can be daunting and/or irritating for some waiters. Gary did an awesome job of handling all of questions and making incredible recommendations on what to drink. The place was packed out, but our service was still fast and friendly. They didn't have really any vegan options expect one salad, but that one salad was one of the best I've had in a looong time. Also it may look like a bar from the outside but it is a family friendly restaurant which i thought was awesome. This was a 5 star experience all the way around and i would love to come back! read more

Promise I'll be back. GREAT SERVICE Rudencio a/k/a Rudy. More detailed review to follow. Angela, we appreciate the specialty drink.

I've only been here once, but I know enough to know that I'll be back! I love a good juicy burger, quality meat, and great customer service. The Burger Bar has all of the above, and I am here for it! I like that they offer grass-fed and a house-ground prime, in addition to Angus burgers. Outside of the box, they also offer boar, bison, chicken, chorizo, and turkey burger options. Variety is the spice of life, right? The burgers are served with fresh-cut french fries (regular or sweet potato), chips, or a side salad (so you can balance out the 10-oz. hunk of deliciousness you consume alongside it!), so as to make it a meal. If you are a burger lover, you owe it to yourself to at least try them out. I'm pretty sure you'll be glad you did. read more

I would have to say dealing with Isabella is probably the worst service I've ever had. I ordered online and had to call as grub hub canceled two drivers but she basically told me I could pick it up and the food was could. When I asked if they could at least remake the fries she said everything was turned off and they were ready to be out the door. read more

The service was amazing and the food was good. Our waiter was in it and so polite. The food is great but sooooo expensive to out of towners like us. read more

I'm not sure what went wrong here, but for all I've heard and as excited as I was to try Burger Bar, I left feeling really disappointed. First, I got to the restaurant around 10pm. My friends and I were starving and although the restaurant wasn't very busy, the hostess told us there was a 20 minute wait. So we waited while table after table opened up. We asked the hostess if we could just be seated at a table we didn't mind waiting, since the windows near the door were open and it was cool out. We were told that they were understaffed so she isn't able to seat those tables. Rule #1, don't tell the guest you are understaffed. Then about 2 seconds after that a table walked right in and was seated, obviously they knew the hostess. Rule #2, if you are going to serve your friends as VIPs at least be slick about it. So we were seated and our server was very nice and took our drink orders, bringing them out quickly. We put in an order for fried pickles and the chorizo chips. The housemade chips themselves were delicious. My friends found the chorizo on top weird. I liked the flavors, but it was rather difficult to eat and the oil from the chorizo became a pool for the chips, causing them to be rather soggy. We then ordered our burgers. I had the one with pulled pork and Andouille. It was good, but it definitely didn't knock my socks off like I had been told it would. I will say though that their fries were pretty spectacular. Another strange sidenote was that right after we placed our order for dinner, our server informed us that the kitchen would be closing in 10 minutes (it was 10:30 on a Saturday night) and did we want to order anything else. Since we came in with the mindset of getting boozy milkshakes, we assumed those came from the bar, not the kitchen. Long story short, we were wrong....now we know. read more

Love the ambience here! It was so windy, so my boyfriend & I stopped in. We sat at the bar to chill before we head to our next destination. He got two beers & he loved it, while I got a delicious milk shake. I got to try the sassy chicken wings & they were good too. I'd recommend you to stop by after visiting the Agora Sculptures in South Loop! read more

During holiday weekend they were completely empty but were not taking walk-ins. Way understaff and unreasonable service (2 waiters only) in high peak. Avoid it and save time read more

The food was just ok for how expensive it was. We were very underwhelmed. The wait was long. The drinks were good and the staff were nice.

I would love to have the ghost kitchen menu apart of what they sale everyday. It gives you more options on wing flavors and different style of wings. All thanks to Emma the Host I was able to find out about this menu and hopefully teach more ppl about it. She has great customer service as well. Sat with me and made sure I left with the right decision. read more

JUDYYYYYYY!!!! She's a 1 man band these days due to COVID-19! She is literally running around like a chicken with her head cut off, trying not to stress and being as pleasant as ever while serving, bar tending, hosting, answering calls, doing to go orders, and checking the restroom! I am in awe of how she is getting all of this done with a smile and sweat dripping down her face!!! She is a rare breed and deserves to be acknowledged!! read more

Throughout the pandemic, I have been trying to support locally-owned businesses (not backed by large hospitality groups). This is one of those businesses I chose to support Labor Day weekend. My family was in town and we had a planned trip to Shedd. I wanted to treat them to lunch beforehand and somewhere within walking distance to the aquarium. We arrived during the lunch hour and were kindly asked to give the team 10-15 minutes before they could seat us. We happily obliged. When seated, the owner and staff were overwhelmingly gracious and enthusiastic to tell us about the menu highlights. I'll be the first to admit, I'm not a *huge* burger fan so I wasn't going in with extreme hunger pains for a burger. I. Will. Be. Back! The burger was DELICIOUS! And every single one of us were overwhelmed with how good the burgers were! So juicy. Great flavors. And the ingredients were so incredibly fresh. So while you should go in for the food, do me AND this business a huge favor: spread empathy. Be patient. Be gracious. EAT UP and take care of the staff. This business deserves your support! *Just a small suggestion for prospective customers: if you're on a tight schedule, perhaps give them a call so they can seat you when it works for you, and you can get a sense of how to time your visit to help them out! Now, go get that burger! *Another side note: CLEAN BATHROOMS FOR THE WIN! read more

Shout out to our server Andres! He was friendly and accommodating. The food wait time took a little long but they let you know they are understaffed on the digital menu. And we completely understand We will return! Thanks again Andres read more

Came to Burger Bar Chicago, while dropping kiddo off at College. Ordered the the Urban Diner Stacker was offered to replace the egg for Bacon.. OMG no words!!! We also order The Bacon Cheeseburger... so delicious along with Crispy Onions and basic Fries... don't forget to order the Chocolate 3 way and the Oreo Blitz shakes... the chocolate mouse whip cream (I mean vomon what is that?) Carmen our server not only knew the menu inside and out but made sure we had the burgers we wanted. Side note we even got to talk with the owner. Definetly coming back everytime we come into town! read more

Great food i definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good burger. Also very clean and they have an amazing staff. 10 out of 10 for sure

My bf and I tried a bunch of snacks. The ribs and chicken tinga tacos were some of our favorites. We wanted to be healthy-ish and got a fried chicken Cesar salad too; but I'd skip on it next time because it was pricey for what it was. It was just lettuce and the chicken for $14! Stick to the snacks and burgers next time! read more

Food: boyfriend and I ordered the firehouse burger with Parmesan truffle fries. The fries and burger were really good. No complaints in regards to food. Service: could have been better. Young tall Long blonde haired waitress was extremely rude. It was just my boyfriend and I dining and there was another table with 3 guys she was all over, failed to bring my drink over even though I asked repeatedly - never apologized and continued to walk past us as if nothing happened. read more

Honestly so freaking good. 10/10 burger, such a good drink, I was so full and happy I can't even explain. Definitely go here

This place was so bomb!! I was shocked at how amazing the food was! Came here during a bears game and it wasn't packed at all surprisingly. The bar is right by the stadium so folks had already left by then to head to the game!! I ordered a burger without the bun since I'm on keto and the server was so nice and let me modify everything. Please make sure if you go order chips queso and guacamole. The chips aren't your average chip. It has a kick to it with flavor and made every bite taste so much better! My cousin got the brisket and my husband got a burger. The meat quality was on point! They also had delicious Parmesan tater tots. I will def be going back for round 2 after keto to try more yummy stuff from the menu. Overall good clean place with very friendly staff! read more

Food: IT IS AMAZING!!!! I had a chicken burger because I don't eat red meat and it was simply amazing. My girlfriend had a USDA approved burger. They give you an option to pick between grass feed, USDA approved, and grass feed bison option for the burger. They give you an option to build your burger with the type of bun, cheese, condiments. Drinks: The beer selection is great. I tried Stella for the first time and it amazed me how great it taste. They have a fairly decent wine selection. Scenery: It looks great compared to other burger spots. Service: We were able to get a table within 2 minutes. The waiter continued to check in with us and made us feel welcomed. Our food came out within 20 minutes. Overall: I would recommend this restaurant to meat lovers, vegans, and vegetarians if you have a taste for a burger. This is amazing and everyone should experience it. read more

Food overall was good - burgers were overcooked, wings were delicious, fries undercooked. Service was very slow, and they add a $2.50 fee per person for ppe - for putting out two hand sanitizer stations? read more

The food is good when it shows up and the order is correct. Today is an example of when we placed an order at 5:53pm, and almost an hour later got a text indicating that the food was being prepped, followed by a text indicating that they were closed. Again, the food is good, but delivery is a real challenge and no longer worth the effort and loss of time. read more

This place was cool. When the weather's nice they open the garage doors.The food was excellent. It had a excellent beer selection a variety from MI, IL, and InDy a lot of local mid western brewers. I had the 3 Floyd's alpha king. It had a bitter IPA with a piney taste. The fried pickles w/ urban sauce is good, pickles are fried just right there food with ketchup too. The urban sauce spicy too , I had the chicken burger withers sweet potato tots. The chicken was seasoned well a 5 of 5 on the scale of chicken burgers I've had. It's a must try. The sweet potato tots are good with a swee flavor that's good. The service was fine too. The food was good I'd go back. read more

Really, really overpriced. We walked out spending over $100 for 2 burgers and fries, 2 beers, and 1 order of wings. My fault for not checking in advance but never would've gone had I known that. For that amount, you can do so much better than a loud sports bar and just ok food. read more

Great burgers! Not average. Although I would not travel an hour to go eat here. I frequent in the area so this is my go to burger spot. The service is excellent. Staff is always attentive and friendly. I've been here over a dozen times and never had a bad issue. In fact the only bad thing about here is which burger I should order. Today, I ordered the burger of the month which features an egg and fried pickles(September). I always get the sweet potato fries DELISHHH. I normally order the firehouse burger though today I switched it up. They also have a rotating beer selection on tap. Plus a wide variety of other beers in cans and bottles. Plus mixed drinks. I ll definitely save room next time for the build your own sundae that they have. Big ups to burger bar for consistency on service and food. read more

Very good spot to crave your burger hunger. The location isn't ideal for finding parking if you are driving here. But inside give it a bar vibe with tv around and a bar area. The service was good. They were nice and helpful when asked questions. If they don't know something they will go find the answer right away. The burger was amazing. It was huge and juicy one of the best burger I ever had. Also there are very different type of burgers from bison, lamb, and the tradition beef. There fries are also great. Normal fries will be good enough. I didn't really think paying extra for truffle fries made a difference. read more
