Burgers & Beer - Burgers Near Me - Bradley, Illinois

We found this place after running a race in Champaign, IL....we were excited about the great burgers. Unfortunately, our experience here was poor to say the least....our server got us our first beer & order and then disappeared. Food was over 1:20 hours wait and they gave us the wrong order. Food was good but would not come back or recommend this place. read more

What a nice place to eat!!! They are so accommodating for our big party with Christmas gifts. Thanks!!! The place is so comfy. We always enjoy the burgers. Today I tried the egg sandwich and added jalapeno cream cheese to dip. It did not disappoint. The onions rings are my fav. Our daughter tried the Cajun chicken salad but added an egg on top. We love this place!!! read more

Food, service. Atmosphere. Great big burgers! I recommend this restaurant. Makes a really great burger your way!

When Burgers and Beer first opened and for years following you couldn't find a better burger anywhere else. I don't know what changed but around 2022-2023 the food was not good anymore. I stopped going. When they closed all the other locations and opened the new one in Bradley I decided I would try it again because maybe they realized something needed to change and brought back the original menu. I was sadly disappointed to find out that the burgers still aren't good and they took away the original steak fries that they had. Please, please, PLEASE bring back the original food that used to make this place so great. read more

We ate at the new location in Bradley. The place was packed so we thought we would have to wait for a table but nope got seated right away. There was plenty of seating. The hostess and waitress were very friendly. They asked how we wanted our burgers cooked one med rare and one well done. With the amount of customers and orders going in that kitchen I thought good luck on getting the order correct. Butttt the burgers were perfect cooked as ordered. Great job to the whole staff that took care of us. If I could suggest any improvements it would be for Bradley to work with them on more parking especially after people find out how good the food is. read more

We had an amazing experience and the food was fire! Huge shoutout to Anna and Cody for next-level service on 6/7/25. We showed up late (9:40 PM) with a crew of 20+ after a long day of dance recitals for a birthday celebration. They could've turned us away (closed at 10)--but instead, they welcomed us with smiles and absolutely crushed it. TVs stayed on, music was playing. You just don't see that kind of service very often anymore. Anna and Cody, you're rockstars--my family and friends will definitely be back read more

Overall, very satisfied with burgers and beer, restaurant is locally owned and offers a decent selection of burgers and chicken at reasonable pricing, will be visiting again! read more

Service was friendly and super fast. Nice selection of sandwiches and burgers. You can try something different (I had a burger with Applewood bacon and peanut butter) or go with a classic. The curly fries were a little salty, but I really enjoyed them anyway. It doesn't look much on the outside but the inside is pleasant. Oddly, they did not have any beer on tap. They did have a decent selection of bottle beer read more

Burger was decent but I think the burger itself was a little over cooked and coups have used a little more seasoning but onion rings were good and the mixed drinks are good as well . The ambiance is more like a sports bar ish kind of place . It's crazy a place named burgers and beer don't have beer on tap I found that to be unusual . But overall the restaurant is good and had a good experience . read more

My husband and I are regulars here! We always go for the giant pretzel with cheddar sauce and I always get the Lost Angel burger or the Cheesy Capreese burger, my husband loves the foul player burger! Service is usually quick read more

Realllyyy love this place!! Best burgers out there fr the onions and the cheese is just right it's so cheesy! And the fries are so crisp! I love the server Kennedy!! She was so considerate not like other servers!! Really love her! read more

Food is terrible. Taste is awful. Stop crossing chicken, fish and fries in same oil, change out oil more often. Season your beef, check your tots more often or research proper cooking time and temp. This place was ok 11 years ago, but has since fallen off the trail, for run over and smooshed into the ground. Do better or close up shop. My bill for 2 adults and 3 small children was not even close to worth the $91. My kids even disliked their basic foods. Only thing was the server, he was all over it, which I wish was the same as last few visits here. However my review stands and my family won't ever be returning to this establishment. Make your own judgement, but if you take it from me, just find a better place. read more

some of the best burgers you will find. Nothing fancy with the decor just good food and service. If the food is good you don't need all the fancy stuff decor. The menu has a burger for everyone to pick and enough variety to make you want a return trip read more

If you want a premade over cooked dry burger with little to no seasoning come here. Plenty of better choices that don't specialize in burgers. And they could have kept the 4 quarter sized onion rings. Again something they advertise. The waitress was very good. read more

Let me begin with, The service was excellent. Natalia was attentive with my Father and myself, and several Tables around us. I haven't been here in years and it's good to see the Wait staff as professional as they have been with an Ambiance to match. So, why the two star review? The food, I ordered the buffalo blue bird. It's a fried Chicken sandwich dressed with Buffalo sauce and gourmet blue cheese crumbles, with an order of steak fries. I've had this before and it was a pretty good classic. I started with the steak fries, first few were warm, followed by a scorcher. An absolute fire in my mouth. So, I stopped, and let everything cool down a bit before moving onto the sandwich, after a few moments I lift the sandwich up and take one bite, my teeth don't even cut through the chicken by the time my mouth is just covered in hot grease and left over fry oil. So I throw it down and make my way to the restroom to find a quiet spot to shoot off some expletives away from the Children around me. I make my way back, tongue burnt, skin of the roof of my mouth already peeling, lips tingling, with no more taste in my mouth. I couldn't eat it, I was served something that for the first time in my life felt unsafe and So, I was sending it back while notifying why. my server Natalia asked "If I'd like a box?" And replied "No" jokingly adding "I wouldn't likely be able to taste by the time it goes bad anyways". Natalia took away the Plate of napalm and returned quickly with Ice and water for my ailments, which I really appreciated. But then the bill came, and sure enough, the Molten core parading as a sandwich with just teeth marks on the bun. Was on the tab, so I took the bill thinking this was just a misunderstanding up to the bar, and what I can assume is the manager by the different colored red shirt pulled Natalia out to speak with me, and she informed me that Policy states that because I was asked and turned down the gracious offer of a Box, I paid for the sandwich to be thrown away. So I left it on the tab, And paid Graciously for the service, I'm not here to argue with a waitress about a policy she has no control over. Great service, best water and ice in town, two stars. Always Tip your waitstaff. read more

After reading lots of positive reviews, I might have gotten my hopes too high. It was good, but not worth a 2nd trip. Our group of 5 was happy enough, but we left feeling greasy. To their credit, there are lots of options, and it took awhile to decide as many sounded good. In the end, I went with the Hot Head, two others went with the Sweet Ringer and two others ordered custom. The burgers were a good size, but the other ingredients seemed to just miss it (apart from the bacon which was awesome). For example, the grilled pineapple seemed like it was just a ring of pineapple pulled out of a can and slapped on a grill. Ok, but not worth writing home about. Unfortunately, the curly fries and the buns were super greasy. The tots however, were crispy and well salted. This place is ok if you're looking for an ok burger with friends, especially if you're sticking to the Kankakee area, but there are better burgers out there. read more

Came here with my boss and the food was ok but the nacho is really amazing..its a small place that has a bar and its an ok place I think. The burgers was ok i didn't think it was all the that great having some of word off mouth recommendating this place, burger greasy and waiter and waitress wasn't pleasant and it wasn't a good service. This is from my experience coming for the first time. Not sure If I want to come back. read more

A hole in the wall bar serving good burgers. Parking is good. The place is clean. Prices are ok. They "nickel & dime" you for extras. $2.75 for gravy on the fries, 65 cents for extra garlic dressing for salad. Background music is not conducive to eating. Service is at par for this type of restaurant. They serve Pepsi products. You can't be number 1 if you don't serve number 1. I stayed with Adams ale. The burger was very good. Fries were also good. Had the garlic mushroom burger. Patty eas cooked to perfection. The meat has a unique flavor to it that makes it very tasty. It could've had more mushrooms on it, though. Our server needs to learn table etiquette. Every time I said thank you to her, she said "yeah". She should learn if someone says thank you, you should answer answer with "you're welcome", not "yeah". read more

Delicious place for burgers! Everybody loved there burgers. Each burger was prepared correctly to the temperature we requested. Tater tots, curly fries and Mac n cheese were really good too. Also the kids added cheese curds to the burger and just a heads up they were spicy. Will definitely be back. read more

Went in this morning for a burger since I was craving one since 4am. I had the Smackdown burger, house made curly fries with jalapeños and ghost pepper sauce. I must say that ghost pepper sauce was fire . The service was on their toes and they also had games for those who gamble. I definitely would go back since it is so close to the house. Great job! read more

These are excellent burgers. We also got the pretzel. It was huge. Plenty to fill us up and had leftovers. Our waitress was very attentive. Very clean establishment. Will be back again. read more

First time coming here, came with a party of 18 people as part of a wedding. The first couple things I was shocked by is how abysmal the parking situation here is especially on the weekend and these people will park worse than they do in Chicago. I'm surprised with a party our size and how busy they were they were nice enough to wait over an hour for tables to clear so we can all sit down and eat. The locals here are really nice and courteous. I was even chatting with one of the locals. During this time we we're waiting we were having drinks to kill time. They have sangrias here so I was happy with that. After being finally set down to our table I felt bad because we had only one waitress serving us just and everyone requested seperate checks. Usually in these scenarios they usually have multiple waitresses but our one waitress took on all 18 of us order by order absolutely no issues. We got our food and it took much quicker than anticipated, but the food got here that's where this place really started to shine. Their burgers were absolutely phenomenal and probably the best thing I've eaten all year. It was so good alot of my friends couldn't even finish it and they all had the same opinions as I did. We definitely left satisfied. On top of it all, not a single order was messed up either. Waitress deserves a raise! During this time waiting some of the guys won a couple hundred bucks at their gaming machine. Other aspects of the restaurant I wanted to point out was that this place is a great diner themed place. Lines are unfortunately long depending on when you come here but the food is so great its not hard to see why the people keep coming back for more. Everything about this place is just phenomenal... Except parking at peak hours read more

We visited Burgers & Beer and had a great experience. It was much busier than we expected for a midweek evening, which only reinforces how popular it is! The staff provided friendly service and the food was delicious. It was also very reasonably priced. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean and well kept also. Would highly recommend! read more

I learned an expensive lesson tonight. "Burgers & Beer has mediocre and overpriced wings." If you're in this area, I definitely suggest you get wings from 'Twins Chicken & Seafood' (to go only) or 'Paul's Place'. Price and flavor is worlds better at both spots. read more

This is our second time at Burgers and beer. Food was great. We all had different burgers and I love that they have unique choices. But I wanted to comment on an appetizer item. The giant soft pretzel. You have to try it. It is so good. Better then Aunt Annie's. It comes with your choice of cheese too. Go early because it gets quite busy on the weekends. read more

If you are looking for a good burger and cold beer, this is your place. Nothing fancy about the place, but nice and clean. Creative burgers, hot dogs and chix sandwiches. Portions are big, so come hungry. Wide selection of beer (no taps, though). Our service was great, but it wasn't busy either. We will for sure return. read more

Waited over an hour and still no food. Not once did anyone come to our table after taking our order and explain that they had a large party and the wait time for food would be longer. Instead we were ignored. When asked for status of food, we were told 5 more minutes. To-go orders were going out with no issues and tables that came after would get their food. Zero communication. Walked out after paying for drinks. read more

Came here for dinner and Cody was our server. It was his first night and he did amazing. The food came out quick and it was delicious. He refilled my drink before I even realized it was empty. Love coming to burgers and beer. read more

Solid local burger joint. After moving our daughter to U of I for her Junior year, we wanted dinner but not around campus. Kankakee, at an hour from school and Burgers & Beer seemed like the perfect fit. We were not disappointed. We took exit 308 and drove a few miles off route 57. We were grated by a crowded parking lot at 7:30 on a Thursday night, normally a good sign. We walked in and sat down at a bustling burger joint (hence the name). Being hungry from moving, we ordered 2 burgers - one with Mac n cheese on the side and the other GF with grilled jalapenos and baked beans on the side. Both came out perfectly cooked and definitely home made. My wife thought it was outstanding I was satisfied as I like mine with a little more char. The sides came out cold but our server Allison brought us fresh, hot sides in no time. Overall, we came away pleased. They have 4 locations in the area so next tine we might try the Gibson City location. read more

Unfortunately, my visit to that establishment on Saturday with my family left us with NO desire to ever return. Their menu had a great variety of burgers that sounded amazing. The service definitely showed that the fairer skinned customers receive better attention. Our group of 8 was seated promptly since we were the only ones there. It took 10 minutes before our drink order was taken. At this point there weren't any other customers in the establishment. This establishment wasn't understaffed as there were at least 3 individuals near the bar and another server. There were various patrons that were seated and served within 1/2 hour!!! My tolerance for such treatment took its toll when a group of 11 seated near us received their appetizers within 15 minutes of being seated. We were there for 45 minutes with no appetizers or ANY staff to update us on our meal or refill our beverages. This wasn't a situation of being understaffed it was clear our brown skin wasn't welcomed there at all!! read more

Burgers & Beer - Most of their silverware was filthy. - Burgers Near Me - Bradley, Illinois

When it's been a long day in K3, I need a beer. And this is a great place to go relax, listen to jukebox music and eat some good grub! They have a fine beer menu, especially for K3, except for one other joint I'll review soon! The service is always wonderful at the tables and the bartenders are kind and occasionally funny! We can't pass up the stuffed pretzel, as it's spicy and not huge, like the other pretzel, but it's large enough for 2. Sometimes we also order the fried pickles because being a Florida girl now, that just isn't something we see very often, surprisingly for Southerners, on our menus!? Then, we get varied burgers...my personal favorite is the green olive burger! It makes me so happy to be able to order a VERY RARE burger and actually receive it as such. This is one of the few places that have faith in their beef, I guess! I have seen other people at our table order the chicken sandwich and are very pleased, as well as the grilled cheese with bacon! Good choices, but I'm a burger girl! The parking lot can get pretty full on the weekend evenings, but otherwise it's plenty big. It's on the outskirts, so I'm so happy for Yelp or we never would've come down this street. Find your way here and enjoy one of the best places in town! read more

I am very sad and disappointed about this place. It used to be my favorite. The food still good but the waiter and his mom, the manager, were rude and dismissive. First silverware was not clean. We did not said anything, just clean it ourselves. Then, the waiter forgot some items and when I told him he got mad and tossed the plate in the table. Last, I found a potato with a bite on it in my curly fries. It is sad that people do not know how to treat their customers anymore. read more

This is a great place with great food! The Fry'd Fish is a non-burger favorite! They have great wings too. All the burgers are great! Can't go wrong here. read more
