Quite a bit of variety on the menu and decent sized burgers. I got the firehouse stacker, and loved that the chorizo added a tiny bit of spice. The brioche bun was super buttery and soft, although I do wish it could've been slightly thicker (the burger was very juicy). Wait time was a bit long, but it looked like there was only 1 server at the time. The restaurant was clean and not too loud. read more

Burger spot in the south loop which is a nice find. Sadly, it didn't meet my expectations. The drinks were absolutely terrible and the burger flavor left much to be desired. For the price, it was incredibly disappointing to have such a subpar meal, but such is life I suppose. read more

This place has the absolute worst service. I went in Friday night and the place was half empty. Bartender walks right by me - not really busy and just ignores me for over 5 minutes. Unacceptable. And not just me. A lady nearby had to wait 5 minutes for a water. It's like they don't want to make money. I just left. The food could be amazing and they have a great beer selection but crappy servers don't make the trip worthwhile. read more

So I was excited to try this place but it was a bust! Service was trash, my mac-n-cheese was cold but the bowl was hot. Asked for a new one and got the same thing, ribs weren't meaty. And when I asked what soda they had he said only coke, Diet Coke and sprite l. But they have root beer I wouldn't be back read more

We in Chicago for the Rams & Bears game. The Burger Bar was right down the street from our hotel. We walked down there when we got into town, we sat at the bar. The bartender that waited on us I believe was the manager, super friendly. We had an amazing time talking to him, talked about the history of the place. We actually came back a couple more times. read more

I oddly have been here a handful of times, but haven't tried their burgers... until tonight. I used to live around the corner from here and always walked by their Instagram worthy burgers so I had pretty high expectations coming in. A nice big selection of craft beers and plenty of TVs great to watch sports or Bears games. We started with their fried pickles as an appetizer which are worth the munch especially paired with a good beer. Here's where is starts going down.... We ordered our burgers - I ended up getting the Backyard Classic Burger but fries are al a cart... and sides are between $6-10. I find it hard to swallow that my $18 burger doesn't at least come with fries. The burger better be the best $18 burger I've ever had.... Which it wasn't. We waited over an hour for our food which was just odd. 2 burgers, wings, and Parmesan truffle fries (good choice) and waited over an hour. Our waitress was nice, I could tell she felt bad, a bit of a discount off the bill would have been nice, instead she just gave us shots... which we waited 15 minutes for. My burger finally came and when I took a bite, it was dry. A dry $18 burger. This place has been struggling for awhile it seems, but their service and food have got to be better. The theme of the evening (and jokingly seriously) at our table was... "order and wait long" for everything. Overpriced burgers for mediocre quality. Next time I'll go around the corner to Five Guys and get a juicier burger for half the cost. read more

Wings are great. The burgers are flavorful, what more can you ask for. Service was a bit slow, considering the number of tables, but it is what it is. read more

Generally when I go out to eat I don't get a burger because it's usually a disappointing experience, this was quite the opposite. The second the food got to our table it was gone with in 5 minutes. The fries were cooked and salted perfectly, the menu had an array of perfectly matched flavors. This made my burger expectations reach new levels. It makes me sad this place only has 3.5 stars because everything from the service to the food to the decorations was amazing. read more

I came here to try the poutine since coming by a good poutine is rare in the states. The bar itself was casual, the staff were very friendly, and the place was pretty busy! Good vibes all around. The poutine itself was average for what you can get in the states. The thick cut fries were the best part and the gravy had a nice kick to it, but it's nowhere near real Montreal poutine. 7/10 for trying though! read more

Burger Bar is open during COVID-19 for take-out and delivery. I missed National Burger Day by one day, but I wasn't going to have that stop me from having a bomb burger. I live right next to Burger Bar and saw many raving reviews about it, so I decided to order a burger from them. I went with their BYO Burger and got USDA Prime beef with lettuce, tomatoes, and onions with a side of fries. Order: - BYO Burger (4/5) Pros: - Tasty burgers - Can BYO or choose from one of their specials - Have veggie options too (the Impossible burger!) - Larger portions ~ the burger was huge and it came with a lot of fries Cons: - My burger was a little dry for a medium well Overall: - A solid burger that will have you feeling very full afterwards read more

Wanted a good burger and heard of this place after googling top GF burger places in Chicago. Calling in the order was easy and the guy over the phone was really nice and pleasant. Thankfully they were taking carryout orders only due to covid. My hubby and I both got bacon cheeseburgers with mayo (mines with a GF bun) and fries (fries are also GF). As soon as I opened the container I could smell the char on the burger. It looked and smelled delicious. All burgers are cooked with a half pound of beef but the burger didn't appear huge in size. Grade A quality beef cooked perfectly! Nice juicy burger that was simply delicious with delicious fries to match. The GF bun was very good, soft and held together nicely. Not that flaky crap that falls apart. The food is a bit pricey. Everything is a la carte and I mean everything!!! The bun, bacon, fries etc. $1.50 for each topping and $4 for fries. Our total was $40. I personally wouldn't mind coming here again on special occasions but it would be rare. My hubby loves burgers and said the burger was good but he would not come back based on the price. read more

Burgers done right!! I stopped by Burger Bar desperately craving a good burger and they did not disappoint. I came on a Friday night and was able to catch a table without a reservation. This place is set up like your typical pub/bar. The perfect place to grab a burger, beer, and the game. I personally appreciated how low-ley it was. The service was fast, and friendly which was an additional plus! Again, Burger Bar does burgers right!!-- Overwhelmed by all the tasty offerings on the menu, I settled on the Urban Melt Stacker but substituted the toast for a bun. THIS was amazing!!! The pairing of the goat cheese with the onion jam was seriously *chefs kiss.* It gave the burger a nice sweet and savory taste. The burger was cooked to my liking, and was nice a juicy patty. Also, I would like to note this was a big burger the portion size had me struggling to finish. I paired with the truffle fries which had good authentic truffle taste but wasn't over truffled. (happens often). Overall I highly recommend Burger Bar if you want a GOOD, quality, tasty burger. You wont be disappointed. read more

Amazing Staff, the bar manager runs a great place. The food is amazing. Besides the burgers the Tots and Badass Deviled Eggs are great.

I really enjoy Burger bar. Good variety of burgers and other sandwiches, and sides are solid too. If I had one "complaint", it's the seasoning/marinading of the burgers, but thats not because it's bad, it's because I'm a total salt and pepper only person. T and I love stopping in for a burger and fries, and have fun choosing from their really good selection of beers on tap and bottle. Staff is always really friendly and helpful, and happy to let you sample the tap beer before you order. TV's at the bar for sports, and the afternoon is made. Sides, Including fries, are à la carte. read more

I placed my order because it was national burger day. Due to dietary restrictions I don't eat a lot of red meat so I was looking for something a little different. I had seen pictures on Instagram of there food and I knew that I had to place an order. I ordered through Caviar and everything came in the time that it said it would and it arrived hot. I ordered the BYO Chicken Burger with American Cheese, BBQ Sauce, and Mayo. I got a side of Fresh Cut Fries with a side of Ranch. The Burger was so good I've never had a Chicken Burger before but this one was very good and moist. They got my burger right and there was no mistake of any sort. I will definitely be ordering again. read more

I loved my burger, I ordered an urban melt on brioche. My friend ordered a backyard classic. Both burgers were amazing. Our only complaint was the fries. The first order we had were like potato chips and not soft on the inside. We ordered another round of fries and they were the same way. Crispy and hard. So hard that we didn't want to eat them anymore. We'd come back for the burgers but we would order a different side. I had the truffle fries and he had the regular fries. read more

I ate here with several friends while at a conference in the nearby Hilton, and even though we were there right around their closing time we had phenomenal service and food/drinks! Our server had a great sense of humor, was very patient with our party having one person show up about 15 minutes later than the rest of us, and kept the drink recommendations coming. I had THE Bacon Cheeseburger with an added fried egg over hard, and it was a phenomenal burger. The queso guac chips appetizer was great to share at our table of 5 along with the burgers, and their beer selection was top-notch with several sour beers to choose from, which made me happy! read more

This place was super crowded with the swifties on the day that I went but the service was still great and that's a great sign. The burger was delicious, nice an juicy and the fries were good as well. Good beer selection. Will have to visit on another day when it's not a major event in town to see what the vibes are like on just a regular day but overall would definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

I went to burger bar last night for what was my third time visiting and this visit was the most disappointing. My previous visits were both during restaurant week and were both good but not stellar. Last night I visited on the recommendation that they had some of the best wings in the south loop. My friend and I ordered 3 orders of wings to share and another friend ordered a burger. Firstly, it took nearly 40 minutes for the food to come out. The restaurant was somewhat busy but definitely not packed. For a burger and wings I would expect a little bit faster service. For the wings, which is why we came here, they had about 7 different flavors on the menu but nearly each flavor, other than the special of the month, had another flavor that sounded extremely similar. 2 different BBQ wings, 2 different Asian style wings and 2 different dry rub wings. In my opinion a simple Buffalo would do wonders at a place like this. The wings themselves were just ok. The serving size was very large and the wings were a good size so credit there. None of the wings however were crispy. The Korean wings had a really nice flavor, they sort of tasted like hoisin which be as nice. The Smokey mop bbq wings were decent and the ranch that it came with was also tasty. The most disappointing wing of the night was the fire. This was a hot dry rub wing. Firstly there was really no heat to the run. The only heat on this wing came from the Fresno chilis that they were topped with. Additionally, as I mentioned before none do the infra we're crispy so a dry rubs on somewhat soggy wings was not a pleasant experience. The aioli that topped that wings was tasty but in all honesty I would've preferred them to be tossed in that than the dry rub. The sides we ordered to share we're the tobacco onions which were good, and the parmesan truffle fries which were also not crispy. I think being served in a paper cup left them to sit steaming while they sat there. My brother did enjoy his burger, and it looked good so maybe I need to stick to their namesake if I go back. read more

I've walked past this place for years and I am SO MAD AT MYSELF for not coming here sooner!! I had the spicy chili ginger wings and oh my god they are some of the best wings I've ever had in my life. The sauce is out of this world and the wings have the slightest char to them. Husband had the fried chicken sandwich and kept saying "oh wow" after every bite. He said "we have to come back here" about 10 times throughout the meal. Obviously, highly recommend!! read more

Fantastic burger cooked medium rare. Generous portions. This can easily be a go-to burger place among too many options in the city. It's certainly easier to get a table at than the famous Au Cheval. Milkshakes also recommended. I got Nutella banana and my friend strawberry shortcake. Not terribly thick nor sweet. read more

Pretty cool place for a burger after visiting any of the museums nearby. Not giving 5 stars because the food portions were so huge (some of us only wanted a smaller burger (1/4 lb would be fine)) and I wasn't wild about my wings. Bartender was inattentive. Table service was great. Super friendly and knowledgeable server. Overall a clean place. Food was good! Burgers are their thing. Most of our party of 11 got burgers and really enjoyed them. My wings were ok. Two teens got Mac and cheese and gave it a thumbs up. The chips and guac were fine but the seasoning on the chips was overpowering. Overall a good place. Go check it out. read more

The food was fresh and hot and came out quickly for a weekend night. Servers were also very attentive. I had the peach lemonade martini which was delicious. I also tried two of the appetizers and both were delicious. The burger was was a huge portion. I think fries (at this price point) should come with a burger. We shared an order. I did think it was tasty and I'd definitely go again. Grateful to celebrate a birthday at this trendy neighborhood spot. read more

Would not recommend. I had the chicken burger which has a strange texture. My server did not recommend, but I got it anyways. I picked our chicken burger which on the menu was $12. My friend had guacamole and chips $9. She said it was good. The service was good, but way overpriced. We had a chicken burger and guac and chips. All came out to be $32. Not worth it at all. read more

Just leaving The Field Museum and it started to rain. Yelp to the rescue! We found this to be close to the museum campus and a welcome shelter from the raindrops! It was a Monday afternoon, and I was surprised how many large groups were seated already and it was pretty steady. After a few moments, I noticed our server was the only one serving. Poor girl was running wild, but she was killing it on her own. There was a bartender and a manager looking guy there but the two seemed to offer little help. Our server didn't let it show that she was super busy. She was friendly and since we were dodging the rain, we didn't mind that things were taking a bit longer (but nothing crazy). I decided if I am in Chicago that I gotta try a Chicago style hot dog. I notice they had Chicago style mini corn dogs as an app. I figured it would be a fun way to try this staple. I added a side of fries to this. The corn dogs we not really mini. It was a big corn dog cut into 4 pieces. The batter wasn't very crispy or crunchy. The peppers on it were nice and zesty. Overall, it was alright. Nothing I need to have again, but like I said, it was a fun way to try this style of dog. The fries were nice and crisp, and fresh! My husband had a burger and fries and he enjoyed his meal. The beer menu was good, and all the beers were great. read more

After a long day of travel with an empty belly and an infant, this place was a lifesaver. They have an extensive beer list from local craft to more well-known. Their build-your-own burger menu has so many choices so good luck coming up with only one combination. I opted for a basic burger with their bacon bun. The bun is baked with bacon fat inside the dough. It's surprisingly not an overwhelming taste of bacon, but just enough to notice it. Their urban sauce is delicious but their chipotle aioli is where it's at. Dip in your burger and fries and you'll be good to go. Our burgers were cooked perfectly and we had 0 complaints. As a bonus, the waitstaff was great. Nothing like a cold beer and delicious burger after a long day. read more

I went here with my girlfriend. She found out tonight that I seem to rate burgers and have some standards to what is a good burger to me. Hopefully she does not hold this against me... here is my review: Ambiance We went to the burger bar during dinner time so it was a little darker than the pictures you see on yelp. It is lit up but does keep a slight darkness to the place. Not enough for me to use my phone as a light. The music was a little loud for me to have a nice conversation with my girlfriend. Service The service was pretty good. We did have pretty quick service but did not feel like they wanted us to leave. If I did have anything to complain about, I would stay that our waiter did only fill my glass of water just once in our whole time there. Food The burgers are pretty good. The burger to bun ratio is a pretty good ratio. I had a problem with the bun. It did not really hold it's shape while eating the burger. My girlfriend's burger just kind of disintegrated while she was eating it. I have had worse buns before, but this was kind of disappointing. I would compare it to a toasted bun vs a non toasted bun. The non-toasted bun seems to just break up while eating it. I thought the sweet potato tater tots were pretty decent. It did not have the same crunch as a regular tot but it was pretty good. Other than that, I had the firehouse burger. It was like a chili cheeseburger. It had a nice kick but the heat did not linger which was pretty nice. My girlfriend liked the burger she got, which was the back yard classic. Overall I could see myself going back. I would have to check other burger joints around the area to compare though. I could see the price being a slight deterrent to going back, because I have had better burgers at a cheaper price. All in all, it is a good place to try. read more

3 stars for our attentive waitress, she gave us some suggestions so we went with the fried pickles , devil eggs truffle fries and Memphis BBQ wings. Fried pickles were sliced so thin , but the batter was tasty. Devil eggs they were straight from hell, extremely cold and tasted old . No favor 2 little pieces of bacon and a baby blow up by water shrimp . Truffle fries were the only enjoyable thing they were freshly fried, Wings were dry and tough like they were pre grilled stored , rewarmed and covered in bbq sauce. Overall nice setting every table has a view of a massive tv it's plenty to watch . It's a bar with bar food read more

We love this South Loop spot! They have so many awesome and creative burger choices (and more), as well as a great selection of beers. The truffle parmesan fries are a must for whatever your order may be. My favorite burger here is the Smokehouse topped with 18 hr smoked brisket, fried pickles, colby cheddar, pickled red onions, chipotle slaw, and BBQ sauce. We also love that they offer the of Impossible Burger for those who do not eat meat. The only complaint I have is that it can be a little expensive, but every bite is worth it. read more
