The pictures and video say more about this place than I could in a review. It's a great neighborhood burger joint, and I'm happy it's a short walk from home. Everything I've had here is solid for a fast food joint. Once, around the holidays, I ordered their 10 slider deal, and ate them all myself. It was delicious but I hated myself a little after. Trust me when I say two or three are enough for one person. The chicago style dog is my standard here, they get everything right down to the steamed poppy seed bun, the fries that come with it are just average though. I also really enjoy the avocado burger, the grilled onions take it from good to great. I always like the mix of people that go to this place. Feels like the burger joint in the town I grew up in. Last time there was a teenage couple on a date, three elderly gals out for a meal, a married couple with a kid who I might have been annoyed with if he didn't have the cutest little biker jacket with a skull on it, and some guys watching a game on the TVs. read more

Yes! Yesterday I decided to eat whatever I wanted and what do I go do?? Of course I go to a place with Chicago in its name! Being one of those many people in Phoenix from the Chi, I can definitely say that this place has the right stuff! If it were a little more compact and there wasn't a mountain to look at outside, I would almost think that I was back home! But enough about that. Let's get to the food! I had a slider, a 1/3 lb cheddar and some fries. All this was under $10 so the prices get a thumbs up! Flavor-wise, the food kicked my mouth's ass... The slider had me saying, "White Castle, what??" The fries were crispy on the outside and soft/hot on the inside (which is pretty much perfect). Lastly, the burger...oh the burger. Yeah, if you're craving a juicy, cheesy, greasy and all around mouthwatering burger, look no further. Every bite made me take a look at the burger and think of how good it was. It is safe to assume that I'll be back to this place to try more of their food. Next time I'm definitely getting a Chi-town dog! =) read more

I have heard great things about this place and I had purchased one of those online deals to try it out. I was not disappointed. The only reason, I didn't give it 5 stars was because I was freezing. But I had a small chocolate milkshake and the special of the day, philly cheesesteak. My husband had a cheeseburger slider, chili cheese dog, and french fries. We really liked the food. If you want the sliders, make sure you order at least 3, I would say, because they're kind of small. My husband is from Illinois, so walking into Chicago Hamburger Co, was amazing. There is so much chicago decor, it's ridiculous, but since I've only been to chicago once, I liked reading all the signs and seeing pictures of former Bears players. We will most defiinitely return. read more

This place reminds me of every neighborhood wiener joint and Chicagie Dinerette I have ever been to in Chicago. The Chicago street signs, team schwag, and general Chicago schwag, the old school arcade games, simple booths - this could be anyone's Uncle Stanley's joint in Chicago! The food is as expected - real Vienna Hotdogs, on the right buns, with seasoning, and the loud green relish. Deep fried, tasty veggies like mushrooms and zucchini, and damn good, old school sliders that would slap the towers off of white castle. It is quite the place for anyone missing the divey wiener huts of Chicago or trying to recapture some childhood memories for those aged 25-45. The ambiance just makes the food so much better. read more

This place has great burgers. However, last weekend I wanted to try to eat healthier and ordered a side salad along with my sliders and halfway through I found a dead fly in my salad. Disgusting. It will be a while before we return here. Sad because the burgers were quite good, sliders were so-so. But if dead bugs are present in the kitchen, I'm not so eager to eat here again... read more

Chicago Hamburger - Dead fly in my salad!!!! - Burgers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

My favorite thing to do is grab a bunch of sliders that fit perfectly into my over-sized purse to sneak 'em into the movies. You might not make any friends if you do this b/c somehow in a dark theatre all you can smell is the onions, which I never notice when I eat them there or at home. Ha! Oh well, it's a fun little treat. Super yummy comfort food! read more

Freakin' Awesome! I was treated to dinner here as a reward for trying to deal with a friend's Qwest DSL... I know, I know... You'd think that dealing with Qwest would deserve a greater payback, but I'd been wanting to try this place since the Weekly Yelp that mentioned their peanut butter milkshakes. It turned out that I couldn't have asked for more. 1st - I love the CHC for being honest. It's a straight-up, no frills, burger and hot dog stand. It totally reminded me of the roadside burger joints that my family stopped at as a kid, and 30 years later, their prices aren't even that far off. A 1/3 lb. charbroiled burger for under 4 bucks? that's a solid value! #2 - The sliders. Everybody seems to like the doubles, but I think that the single cheese burger slider is just the right slider-ific proportion of bread, meat, and cheese. They have some options to tart them up a bit, but I just went with the onions and a bit of ketchup. I wouldn't say that they are a one-for-one with the White Castle sliders, but pretty close, and quite possibly better. Order two for just over $2... C. - Chicago and hot dogs, a culinary dynasty. You can argue about which city has the best pizza, but those kids up near Lake Michigan have got the hot dog market covered. CHC has the all beef Vienna dogs, the poppy seed buns, and all the right fixins (scary green relish, sport peppers, tomatoes, and celery salt...) to throw down with a nearly perfect "Chicago Dog". Comes with Fries for $4... Eat one and smile while you think about enjoying the taste of Chicago without the January weather. Lastly, I did make it around to one of those peanut butter milkshakes. It was great. Thick enough to stand a spoon in, and plenty of real peanut butter. It's not so sweet that one can't enjoy it as an accompaniment to to the sliders and dog, instead of dessert. It's not too often that a place lives up to its own hype, but the Chicago Hamburger Co. was everything that I was craving and more. read more

Put your eatin' britches on. You know it's going to be good when the parking lot is full at what appears on the outside to be a food-related illness waiting to happen. I tried the Windy City Slider with cheese. Comes with chopped onion, pickles, and what I thought was standard ketchup. Upon further taste investigation, I think it's actually a blend of ketchup and Dijon mustard. Whatever it was, can't wait to see it again. The buns are perfect. I ordered two and was more than satisfied. Also tried the fries. A little thick for my taste, but hot, crispy, and perfectly salted. And last, but certainly not least, a vanilla milkshake. Oh so good, especially considering it's a hundred fifty freakin' degrees out today. My only wee little complaint. The place was a little less than clean, but it was still very busy at what appeared to be the tail end of the lunch rush. Don't look at the walls or under the tables and you'll be fine. read more

This place really made me laugh, but mostly because of the weiner hanging from the ceiling. He has a big happy face along with arms and legs. How cool is that? To say this place is bustling would be a serious understatement. Every single time we have driven by here, there wasn't a parking spot in sight. When we finally decided to eat here I spotted the parking paydirt right up front. Inside is all sorts of kitschy and fun and it will suffocate you with Chicago-ness. I love the sign that says when a Chicago team wins the world series, free sliders for everyone! Anyway, the menu is about as simple as it gets, burgers, hot dogs, and some bigger weiners as well. I got a cheese burger with bacon but only mayo and ketchup. Despite all the craziness that goes on inside, they are wicked efficient in clearing the ordering line and then they pump through the orders like nobody's business. My burger was delicious and soooooo juicy. The cheese was all gooey and melty and the bacon was thick and crunchy. Perfect! To top things off, they actual put a decent amount of mayo on it instead of the usual scrape that you get most other places. I was a happy hamburger eatin girl indeed. If you want a good no-nonsense burger, stop by here and you won't be sorry. read more

You guys, this was better than In-N-Out Burger. I had two cheese burgers sliders and a super-thick vanilla shake. We split some fries. It may have been my favorite meal in Arizona! The quality of it all was fantastic. We stayed until closing (it's only open until 8pm, closed on Sundays) devouring it. This place may not look like much on the outside, but inside you're transported to Chicago. If I come back, I'll try a hot dog! They have beef franks that look awesome. read more

Solid house to get lunch. All the memorabilia of Chicago posted on the walls is kinda cool. I ordered 3 sliders with cheese, fries and a coke $9. The food was good. read more

This place has been around forever. I remember going here as a kid. I usually get a Chicago Dog or sliders with cheese. Bob is great! Drawbacks..... Parking is a pain, very small parking lot. The place is also a bit small & run down. But don't let that stop you from enjoying the best sliders in town! I drive in from Goodyear to eat here, that's how good they are. read more

East coaster who misses White Castle in total heaven! This place is great! Definitely worth a trip! I had the cheeseburger sliders, minus the mustard. SO great!!! read more

The moderately priced, tasty, charbroiled burgers are offset by the ridiculously priced, modest in size, sides and sodas that are packed with ice and watered down. Atmosphere is cozy, maybe even divey. If you're in a hurry don't expect the counter service to equate to fast food. read more

All the credit goes to Graham C. for schooling my arse in this particular foodie rodeo. You see, there is a group of 4-5 of us who have pretty much scoured the Valley for hidden gems and blatant dumps so that we can report back at their respective grandness or offensiveness. One day, Graham asks if I'd ever been to Chicago Hamburger Co and I had to embarrassingly admit that I hadn't. That fucker. So, leads the way to the counter and orders an unholy amount of sliders, which we each put down without any sorts of problems because mother of God, they were delicious. I'm pretty sure that we would have gone back up to the order counter to request more, but the place was very busy at lunchtime on a Saturday and we also had to rush to pick up others on the way to the FBR. Apologies for more of an anecdote rather than a review, but you can pull three things out of this review: 1) Their sliders are perfect, particularly the Double Burger 2) Its crazy busy on Saturdays at lunch 3) Graham C is a cocky wanker read more

Drove past this place a bazillion times, and never stopped in. When I finally decided to go in, I wasn't alone. This place had a packed parking lot and a line reaching the door. It qualifies as a "hole-in-the-wall" place. Tons of Chicago memorabilia scattered all over the walls. I had the cheese sliders and fries. The sliders were good. Decent size, came with cheese, onions, and ketchup. Nothing special, but it's a good, family owned place, that obviously has fans. read more

When I miss my sweet home Chicago, I make a bolt for Chicago Hamburger Co. Sure the hell beats dropping a G on round-trip tickets! Sliders are a buck. Same idea as White Castle, butt this joint is easier on the butt. Chicagoans or anyone who has tried whiteys will know what I mean. They're served on soft fresh buns with fresh onion and pickle. The fries are damn good and don't taste like they were just pulled out of a freezer. Don't leave without trying a Chicago style Italian Beef with sweet and hot peppers. The bread so super soft and fresh and all of the peppers taste like they were made right there in this dive... in fact, I think I could see a bowl of fresh peppers from the counter. Service is good and the environment and decor can't be beat! All Chicago, everywhere! Stuff you don't normally find in AZ, these guys know Chicago. read more

Sliders. I need say no more. But I will :) That is the only thing I've ever had at this restaurant. Now, if you're a transplant from the Midwest and a fan of White Castle they are not exactly like that. They are bigger but a good percentage of the slider goodness you're used to. I still go to the Castle when I go back home for Christmas, really you either love 'em or you hate 'em. I'm enamored!! read more

I have been going past this place wanting to try it for a while but never made it in until last night. I ordered the sliders because it's called Chicago Hamburger Co for a reason. I got two double's with cheese. They were really good and just hit the spot. I got an order of onion rings and a chocolate malt to go with them. I love how this place has malts not too many places make them anymore. This place is what it is a great burger place that is not for the health conscious people but hey they aren't trying to be. read more

My sister lives in Arizona and every time I come for a visit, we have to stop by this place. This place has THE best sliders. Better than White Castle!!! Not only are their sliders AMAZING, everything else is also. Their fries, veggie burgers, and milkshakes are all great and their onion rings are straight up TO DIE FOR. I prefer a chocolate shake with my savory food. They have outdoor seating which is nice if you want to take a pet, which I happened to bring a few visits ago. Their seating inside is pretty comfortable as well. The tables aren't crowding each other and the memorabilia all over the walls is interesting to look at. read more

Ah, the little things I miss about living in Arizona. For instance, the Chicago Hamburger Co. What a gem. You'd drive right past this place without blinking an eye, just another dive place branding itself "Chicago" or "New York". NOT! This is the best slider I've ever had. Holy crap they are good. Reminders of White Castle and Krystal burgers, except these are better. In other words, it doesn't have to be 4am while trashed to make them taste great. The fries??? PERFECTION. That right combo of crispy on the outside, yet nice and soft on the inside, not overcooked, not undercooked. The perfect fry. It's beautiful. It's art. Where is Dorothy's slippers??? There's no place like home...there's no place like home... read more

At around 3:45pm on a Saturday, my bf and I wanted to have a snack before dinner and he suggested this place. Never been before this but I love sliders. I love anything mini, really. haha. The Chicago paraphernilia is a bit much, but if you love Chicago, then yay. There were I think 2 or 3 people in line before us and right before it was our turn, I noticed a sign. 10 sliders for some ridiculously cheap amount after 4pm. I can't remember the exact price. I think it was like 10-20cents off their regular pricing. So thanks to the people in line, we were able to place our order at 4:01pm. Perfect. I'm poor so I like deals. Sliders was all we got. They were DELICIOUS! I thought I'd only be wanting 2 since they're a pretty big size, but I ate three! The bread was soft and the ratio of meat to bun was perfect! I'm all about good ratios, not too much meat, not too much bread. The beef tasted good with the mustard and onions and pickles and ketchup? I think that's what they put in there. Whatever it is, get it. It makes it yummy! If you're in the mood for some good sliders, check this place out. I would probably never have actually WANTED to go here since it is a lil dive with nothing around it, but Im glad I did. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in Phoenix. PROS: Good Sliders. Great price after 4pm. Fun atmosphere. CONS: Can't really think of anything. read more

Went for the Brat 'n' Fries special today, and it was okay. Who thinks frozen fries, fried in hot grease is okay...well, the ketchup helped. I'm trying the onion rings next time, and maybe go with the burgers, but then no, I came for a Chicago Dog. The "Special" sign swayed me to go with the brat, and since I live down the street, I'll go again, but if it wasn't for that fact, I'd go somewhere else. There's a lot to choose from on the menu, and the Chicago memorabilia is fun to check out, but how many times can you be interested in the wall deco...once, I'll wager a side of greasy fries on. A note on the men's restroom. It was built for a tall dude, and there are now codes that dictate how high to mount a urinal and soap dispensers...just sayin'. read more

After 4pm $9 for 10 regular sliders, and $10 for sliders with chz. Pretty decent place with good food. I had 3 sliders with the all the basic toppings (onions/pickles) and fries, they were all yummy. I will go back to try the other items. read more

Been coming here since I was a little kid and have never been disappointed. I've spent countless quarters on the Pac-Man machine and the crane grab machine. Sliders are top notch, hot dogs are great, and probably the best milkshake I've ever had. Easily one of my favorite restaurants in town. read more

Been going for a few years now. Haven't tried much of the menu yet as every time I go I simply MUST get sliders or a Firedog. The fries are great, especially buried in cajun spice but the onion rings hold their own as well. Also, I guess I'll throw in that the soda tastes like it's supposed to (some places manage to have awful tasting soda. I don't know how that happens). The place is small and can get busy during lunch but it also has a very comfy home feeling. read more

Never been here before most likely because I rarely get to this end of town. Had a chicago dog and a couple of sliders. Dog was good albeit the celery salt was a little salty for my tastes...and I like salt. Sliders were good...somewhat reminiscent of white castle. Fries were fries. Soda was soda. Overall pretty good. Would eat there again, just gotta get to that end of town. read more

If you want unhealthy, greasy food this is your place! I hadn't been here in over 7 years. Was excited to go back after getting a coupon for 1/2 off on Deal Chicken. We ordered cheese sliders, veggie burger, cheese fries, iced tea and a vanilla milkshake. The sliders have to be the best thing they offer. The veggie burger was dry and a bit yucky. The cheese fries are so gross they are GOOD, covered in a fake cheese. How can you go wrong with a milkshake? And they have fresh brewed iced tea!! Very important in my book! read more

I have been coming here for over ten years on and off. It is a typical independent burger joint with a theme (in this case Chicago). The burgers are tasty with gently fried buns, sauce, tomato, onion, etc. The hamburger meat is cooked medium well which blends with the fixings. Overall the hamburgers are made just right. The fries are delicious and tasty. The parking can be tricky. The parking lot surrounds half of the restaurant and is difficult to navigate. It is too easy to get locked in to a space by another car. The atmosphere has not changed in over ten year with the kitschy Chicago theme (newspaper clippings, photos, memorabilia, etc.) and will likely not change for another ten year. A nice treat for under $10.00. read more

Great Hot dogs, amazing chocolate banana peanut butter shake, and garlic fries are awesome. You would think I'd weigh a lot by the sound of it. lol This place is a Dive that is a best kept secret. The owner is a down to earth hippie kind of guy. He's always accommodating and friendly. :-) We frequent this place often and have always enjoyed the food. read more

This place has Chicago Flair written all over it!!! The inside was filled with sports memorabilia galore from the famous Windy City. Arcadia for me has become an area of Chicago transplants and the food followed. I had the cheeseburger sliders, root beer float and onion rings. All delicious and left me wanting more. The quality was really good and everything tasted fresh. I also had their thick shake on my second trip here. I tried the chocolate peanut butter banana milkshake. It was creamy, dense and smooth. The shake was one of the best shakes I've ever had. read more

I am new to Yelp but have been coming here for over 20 years. Always lived in the neighborhood, and this is the place to be. The 2/3 cheddar is the only way for me, but no matter what you order you will be happy. Hands down the BEST burger joint in town!!!!! I can't stop eating here!!!! Every time I go it feels like home. Bob, the owner is one of the nicest people and treats all of his customers like family even if it is their first time there. read more

Super friendly staff. I got the philly steak and it wasn't up to pare. The burger was just like a traditional Chicago burger. The chilli fries were superb. Will continue to this place but will not get the philly. read more

I hate to leave a less-than-stellar review for a place that has such positive reviews, but I'm just being real. I came here about a month ago. The interior looks aesthetically busy but like it hasn't been refurbished since it was built. The dining chairs and tables are cheap. The menu is one of those old stencil menus they had back in the 70s/80s and probably hasn't been updated since then, either. I don't find this cute. I had to take off another star. The place isn't dirty but it looks dirty-old and not in a southwest grunge kind of way, more like in a trailer trash kind of way. I ordered a cheeseburger w/ bacon and fries. The burger tasted fine except .. what is going on with the cheese? There was plenty of it, which I love, but I'm not sure what kind of cheddar they were using but it seemed powdery or artificial or something. Just that alone made me take off another star. Even so, I enjoyed the food, and I more or less enjoyed the simple ambiance as I sat there watching people cycle through. read more

This place is an institution. Burgers, sliders, dogs, hot Italian Beef, Cheese Steaks and great fries too. Owner is a grsat guy who is connected to the community. I'm here at least once a month and lately I've been trying to get there more to help keep this gem alive and well during the Pandemic. read more

Yummy!!!! I had my first Chicago style hotdog here and W O W! Mouth watering!!!! My family loves this place specially their sliders, which by the way huge score in my book! They are perfection. You can order them with cheese or without and you absolutely cannot beat the price! As much as I enjoyed the Chicago style hotdog next time I will ask for light onions (I personally don't like raw onions). I've never been to Chicago (one day I will and I will EAT ALL DAY!) but this place felt as if I was in Chicago lol. I wouldn't know the difference of a good Chicago slider or hotdog and a bad one but this surely had my tastebuds dancing their happy dance! This place gets quite busy but they are FAST! A must try while in the area. read more

Ehh! It's ok! The decor in the place is awesome! The walls are covered with anything and everything Chicago, obviously. The food wasn't that great :/ heard good reviews about the place and just wasn't "wowed". I ordered the sliders which the lady at the counter recommended as a favorite. She also told me to order more than one since there was just a 1 ounce hamburger patty on each. Didn't taste any better than McDonald's, to be honest. The friend I was with ordered some type of polish dog, I think, which he said was good. The fries looked good but I can't say I've ever complained about a fried potato. read more

Chicago Hamburger - The "famous" sliders! - Burgers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I love this place! I came here for a birthday lunch with the in-laws and I was very excited. One word: Sliders. Scratch that, make it two words: cheap sliders! I didn't realize there was a place in the Valley you could get a super cheap, really good burger. The sliders were very filling. We ordered by the dozen, so it was also a little cheaper than buying them individually. So good. The fries, onion rings were also very good. I think this place should have a challenge. Eat 20 in 20 minutes and it's free! Or something like that. I liked the atmosphere. The walls are completely covered with random stuff and it adds to the charm. Is there something else here on the menu I should definitely try? I need some recs! I'd reccomend this place if you're ever in the area. read more

Just moved to the area & have been making my rounds trying all of the local restaurants around. I'm in the service industry myself, so I really appreciate great local eats. This was my first experience at Chicago Hamburger Co & I was extremely impressed with the customer service!! I got my food to go, & while I was waiting I noticed that the cashier (possibly the owner) knew many customers by name! He even offered to top off my pop before I left on my way, this really wowed me! I loved the hometown feel of the establishment, it's nothing fancy, but has a nostalgic feel. I tried their burger, definitely more than I could eat, but that isn't a bad thing. I got the "spreadable" cheese on my burger, thinking it meant that it was grated to melt more easily on the burger but it was more like nacho cheese, which was the only think I would change about what I ordered. They do have other cheese to offer. I will definitely visit again & maybe try a chili dog next time. Great service!! read more

Went here for the first time yesterday and really liked it. It reminds me of the mom and pop shops I used to go to on the East Coast (except with burgers instead of slices. The guy at the counter suggested 4 sliders so I got 4 cheese sliders (should've gone for 8). Those are some tasty little bastards. The only problem I could find with them is the same problem I have with In and Out burgers. The problem being that by the time you get to the last slider (or that second double-double) the bread just isn't as good as the first. Next time I will employ my secret double-double method which is.....eat one then order another, repeat step one again; but I would do this 4 at a time at this place... Or I suppose I could just try something else the next time, which also sounds good to me read more
