Butcher & The Burger - Burger and fries - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

NEVER ever disappoints! This place has been a family favorite since our 1st visit years back when they opened back some 10++ years. Choose your bun, protein, seasoning, and toppings and you're off to a feast for your tastebuds! Regardless of choice, you won't be disappointed! ** ABSOLUTELY ... order their fries. There have been several occasions that I have order these delicious potatoes to compliment a sandwich grabbed elsewhere, accompanied a meal at home, or merely wanted some flipping excellent chips. Today had the Shrimp burger and as always . . . . did NOT disappoint. After the wars of commercial burgers of late, wish i would have considered doing one. Authentically the best! Counter service - super friendly and energetic! read more

Butcher & The Burger - Unami SHRIMP Burger on brioche bun and Fries - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

First timer! Came across Butcher & the Burger via DoorDash and wanted to give it a try! I ordered the turkey burger w/ onion soup and salt/pepper seasoning and a vanilla milkshake. The turkey was cooked very well and appreciate the amount of veggies on top but the turkey wasn't seasoned. I had high expectations for a $9 milkshake; it tasted like powdered "ice cream", not creamy, and not thick at all. Overall, my tastebuds say it was basically ok...might try dine-in if ever in the area. read more

Had time to kill in this area after a date so I dropped in for a meal. I ordered the kids burger with cheddar, lettuce, and tomato as well as a small fry and cream soda. You get to choose your own seasoning and I had Gin (spelled like the drink per his introduction) surprise me. He went with the Italian seasoning and it was exactly what I needed. Burger was flavorful even though I got it well done since I can't have any pink/raw meat due to chemo. When I go back, I'll definitely skip the fries and get the regular sized burger. The seating area is small, street parking is free on Sunday, and the decor is very themed. read more

If Yelp permitted half-stars, it would be a 4.5. In all my years of burger-eating, I don't think I've ever been in a place quite like this. Sure, loads of places let you choose toppings and cheese, but Butcher & The Burger takes it to the next level. You're able to choose not only a type of meat, but even the blend of beef used. Not just that, one can even choose their spice blend (with all being made in-house). I had a little fun with it, at the suggestion of the server. I had house blend beef (cooked medium), umami seasoning, goat cheese, wasabi mayo, and lettuce/tomato/onion, pickle. I also got a half-order of fries with cheese sauce on the side. Despite being a little out there, the combination ended up being fantastic. It was both a great burger and my creation. The veggies were fresh, the meat was flavorful and juicy, and the umami seasoning and goat cheese were surprisingly good complements to one another. As for the fries, these were fresh out of the fryer, well seasoned, with a pleasant, light cheese sauce to boot. Now, since you all know I'm a not-so-secret curmudgeon, some quibbles. First, while it was juicy, the patty was a little overdone and closer to medium-well. Second, the wasabi mayo was lost on me. Finally, the homemade lemonade was over-sweetened. Especially since they have simple syrup at the beverage station, it seems there's no need. Finally, I want to award massive points for the service. The individual taking my order was friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. More than that, the food came out faster than coffee comes out at some coffee shops. Thus, while one might expect me to award four stars given the experience, the service, the unique nature, and the desire to return ASAP and try some more combinations, maybe with double wasabi mayo this time, bumps this review up to a five. read more

I was debating on going to the chicken place across the street or to the armitage Alehouse. I was happy I made the right choice and came here. It's BYOB my husband and I walked down the street to this spot where they sell alcohol, so we picked up a 4 pack. There are alot of options on the menu, from burgers, salads, sweets. I ordered the single beef burger on a croissant with the aioli sauce on the side and OMG it was so good! Also go the potato salad and the tomato soup with a side of half size fries. Everything we got was so good no complaints. The service was good very friendly workers! The ambiance was chill loved the music they were playing. We will deff come back to try other things on the menu! read more

This is one of the worst pictures I've taken but the burger was super tasty and fresh. I also got the regular small fries. The fries come with a healthy portion and could probably share for two tbh. The service was pretty quick. You just order at the counter and they bring ur food to you. Definitely a casual spot with limited seating read more

Extraordinary burger. I don't say that lightly, since 99% of burgers I eat are him-drum. This really stood out. Fries also excellent. Love the variety. read more

Butcher & The Burger is nestled into a cozy corner just a block or so away from Armitage and Halsted -- far enough to be quiet, and close enough to be convenient. The interior is adorned with low frills furnishings and some chalkboards with menu offerings. On a Friday night, the small dining area was suffused with friendly chatter with an empty table here and there. The menu at Butcher & The Burger is something of a create your own adventure. The staff is happy to offer suggestions and even has some pre-made burgers posted on their chalkboard, but otherwise the contents of your beefy creation are entirely up to you. The diverse set of offerings is almost daunting. The burger that I eventually landed on was a spicy and fiery creation, and I also indulged in fries and a shake because I truly cannot be helped. The food was all quite good, although perhaps this can serve as a warning that burgers, fries, and shake was far too much for me alone. read more

Love this spot! Great ambiance, fantastic burgers, delicious custard, and fresh fries. I had the shrimp burger with wasabi mayo, umami seasoning and avocado-- REAL good.

Please note that this review is about their location at O'Hare. I understand when buying food at an airport that it will likely be more expensive and not as good as if bought it at the actual location outside of the airport. O'Hare unfortunately lacks a lot of good places to eat, especially in Terminal 5, so I was excited to find a location of the Butcher and Burger. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. The process is that you order at the counter, you are give a buzzer, you wait for your order and then you go back to the counter to pick up your order when it the buzzer buzzes. The main issue I had is that they got my order wrong and food is mediocre, even by airport standards. Butcher and the Burger is well known for its burgers so I had high expectations. I ordered an All American Burger that came with fries and a medium Coke. I ordered my burger medium rare. However, I got my burger well done. The patty is super thin, it might as well have been a McDonalds burger patty, and it was tough and dry. To compensate for the small size of the burger, they add way too many veggie toppings. At one point, all I could taste was bun and onions. While the burger was eatable, it wasn't the burger that I order or expected. Also the French fries had much to be desired. They weren't God awful, but they weren't good. The French fries were not crispy, but soggy. The meal cost $25.42 after tax, which isn't bad for the airport, but what I was served wasn't worth it. Also, the seating is way too far from counter. They places a rather large bar between the counter and the food seating area. It was annoying have to lug my carry on further than was need to find a seat and then go back for my food. read more

3 stars bc our friends love this place. 0 stars based on my experience. Food had to be thrown away. DO NOT order Uber eats for this place. There is ZERO quality control. We ordered from here for delivery on a Saturday night 11/2/24. The grilled cheese my daughter ordered was burned and sent like that in our order. She couldn't eat it. My burger was not cooked how I specified and the bun also was burned. The food was inedible. Both were thrown out. read more

This place has delicious hamburgers and the service is great! Had brought my family here and everything about this place is so nice and welcoming. The food is excellent you can never go wrong with the amazing House Blend Prime Beef Burger, side of fries, and the perfect addicting lemonade to go with. Long story short my family and I will enjoyed everything! read more

Oh my god. This is delicious. I devoured my burger. It was fresh; it was crisp; it was so good. I highly recommend. A perfect "fresh off the grill" burger. I didn't add any flair, and it was still a great authentic cheeseburger. The steak fries are also delicious. A small serving goes a long way. About $15/person read more

A place where the burgers are fresh , the services is fast and the ambiance is tranquil.

First time visit to grab a few burgers in our group of 4. I had the Home on The Range bison burger w/out the bbq sauce. Very good but will ask for a little less seasoning next time. Seasoning overtook the natural bison meat taste for me. But an excellent choice regardless. Others had All American cheeseburgers. And we all wolfed down those delicious CHEESE FRIES in addition to a basket of regular fries! Topped off with unlimited drinks. This place is a tasty and fun spot to hang out for burgers!!! Good folks serving good food! read more

I have been on the search for a good burger for 2 years since moving here and I this was the best burger I have tried many in the city including fancy overpriced ones. The burger was excellent, good sized patty and very flavorful, I appreciate the addition of fresh vegetables which most places in this town seem to lack. The fries were also so good and a do not skip. Lastly the gentleman who took our order genuinely seemed to enjoy his job and provided excellent customer service to all patrons. I will be back. read more

Butcher & The Burger is a custom burger joint. They've got a wide range of ingredients to choose from, so you could probably go a hundred times and never get the same thing. With places like these, I always say if your food isn't good it's probably because you don't know what to throw on the burger or how to get it cooked. Also, the large fries are very large. It's more than enough for two people and could probably be good for 3-4. read more

Very friendly vibe! I particularly like the bison burger but it is less fatty than beef so probably not to everyone's liking. My wife says she is going with the beef next time but I'll stick with the bison. The potato salad is a creamy style and very tasty! Likewise the Cole slaw is really good. It's a good take out place with some seating for inside dining. I'll be going back for sure! read more

Kind of disappointed in the burgers here. It's not bad but on the same street you have Old Town Alehouse and a few blocks East Small Cheval that are both better if that's the mood you're in. read more

I am a frequent visitor to Butcher & The Burger! I love their freshness and ability to choose different meats and seasonings for your burger. I love that they offer a lettuce bun and their fries are so crunchy and flavorful. Fast casual so the servers bring your food to your table and then you take care of returning the cutting board which your food comes served on. I love there is an indoor and outdoor seating option too! read more

It is pretty good if you are into burgers, they offer a build your own model where you can pick the type of bread, the spices, and add ones such as mushrooms, tomatoes, sweet onions. The ambiance is pretty chill, clean, there is street parking. Service seemed very friendly. I recommend the lunch special, is a burger with fries and drink. read more

Burger: 9 Fries: 8 Service: 10 Vibe: Chill Got the house blend prime beef burger with cheddar, onion seasoning, grilled onions, and bacon. The burger was well seasoned very juicy, the caramelized onions were a nice sweetness to balance the savory burger and the bacon was so smoky! The fries were crispy and well salted. Also got a local cream soda that helped wash it all down. The only thing keeping me from giving this place 5 stars might be a preference thing but I prefer when the buns have been toasted or warmed somehow. The burger came on cold buns and they had that distinct texture that cold buns do. Second thing really is all a preference thing and may not matter to you but I prefer shoe string fries to steak fries. Last thing I want to point out is the burger is pricy for my wife and I to have a burger and drink each and split a large order of fries came out to just over $60 after tip which is on the pricy side for a hamburger IMO. read more

I was headed to Armitage to do shopping and I wanted to grab something quick to eat. It was pretty crowded but I ordered and found a table. I only got a burger because I wasn't too hungry and I was by myself. All of their burgers are build your own and they have a lot of options. I opted for the split bread, grass fed burger, lettuce, tomato, carmelized onions, and goat cheese. They offer seasonings to add to your meat- I did the steakhouse seasoning. It took quite awhile to get my burger but when it arrived it looked really good!! Once I took a bite I was disappointed. Literally no flavor, nothing- I couldn't taste any seasoning or even salt/pepper on the meat. It was so bland. Im not sure if this an off day or what. I ate it because it was ok, but in a city of amazing burger options I wouldnt come back unless I was in the area and there werent any other options. I gave it a 3 because its grass fed and all ingredients were fresh. Overall experience 3/5 read more

I feel like this place has been here forever... going back to 2008 when I moved out of Lincoln Park. I could be wrong though. Either way, we came here for a quick lunch on my daughter's birthday before we went to CAMP. And it was so good! The kids' burgers would be fitting for a small adult... so much food and the fries were so good. Get all the sides! (We got the potato salad, slaw and fries to go with our burgers.) I had the turkey burger but I was secretly coveting the salmon burger so that's my next order whenever we go back. Everyone was so nice as well and the service was quick so... I'm not sure if there is anything else anyone could ask for. I do have to get a special shoutout to the frozen custard. That stuff is DELICIOUS. read more

We got the American burger with truffle mayo and umami spice, a custom burger, a large fry, and the potato salad. The menu in person was a little confusing to me because I originally looked at the menu online and they had more options listed. The truffle mayo was so good that we got 3 sides of it. Also the potato salad was delicious! The vibe in the restaurant was very relaxed and fast casual. The employees will bring you your food and for how busy they were the service was really fast! I definitely recommend trying them out. read more

Wanted to try the food based off reviews and ordered DoorDash but must've gotten them at an off time. Fries were not fully cooked and the ones that were cooked were just fine. I was super excited about the burger but the bun was burnt so all I can taste is the char on it. Disappointed with it especially with spending $30 on it. Also the pickles are sweet, I personally don't like sweet ones but just so you know! Overall I sadly would not order again. read more

The Good: -A solid burger made exactly the way you want it. Vegan and Vegetarian and No Gluten options too. -No seriously pretty much any burger permutation is possible. -Small amount of sidewalk outdoor seating. Yay summer in Chicago -Awesome and friendly staff. The Not as Good: -I can't believe for the price I paid I got a non-toasted bun. -Indecisive patrons in front you will potentially take forever to order based on the myriad of options. -Pricey depending on your tastes I will add a star to this review if they start toasting the buns. read more

Came here last night for dinner with a friend, and though the place didn't look like much, our burgers were PHENOMENAL! Not only was the quality amazing, but I love how we were both able to customize our orders however we wanted, which made it a great place to go with a friend or a group who have dietary restrictions (though I gladly don't have any). I ordered a grass-fed burger with lettuce, tomato, and goat cheese and paid a little extra for caramelized onions and the black truffle aioli -- SO worth it. Almost went for the bacon too, but decided to take it easy since we were getting fries. That won't stop me next time though... The fries were decent, but the burger is where it's AT. I already can't wait to come back here. read more

I rarely go to burger places since I don't eat beef but I'd heard this place was good so today was the day to try. The person at the counter was happy to give recommendations on spices to pair with my bison burger which I really appreciated. I got the bison burger with their backwoods game spice which consists of cracked black pepper, minced onions and garlic... from what I remember. There's probably more. Added some cheddar, caramelized onion, lettuce, and tomato to complete. Also got a small order of fries and a couple of beignets. Don't judge me. I took it home to eat and was very happy with my lunch. The burger was flavorful and amazing. No complaints on the fries and beignets either. The beignets are different in that there's no breading inside. Just air. I still enjoyed them though- saved some carbs. Hahah This was completely worth the trip and looking forward to my next visit! read more
