Tried this place for the first time today during the Grand opening weekend. Got the Firefly combo and everything about the burger and fries were so good. Fries are seasoned well. Burger flavor is great with a really good sauce. The owner asked how everything was before we left and was truly so sweet. Had a wonderful experience overall and looking forward to more visits here. read more

Firefly Burger - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Without exaggerating, possibly the best burgers I've ever had in my life. Moved to Chicago in June, we discovered this little hidden gym in July and we've been coming here every Friday if not every other Friday. The food is fresh, good quality, clean and YUMMY! The service is excellent. read more

Firefly Burger - The Firefly burger and a cheese burger - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Firefly burger - a very disgusting piece of bacon with a giant piece of hard cartilage (gristle) throughout and undercooked fat. WTF. Why would you serve this? I gagged eating this burger. read more

Overall, the burgers were 6.5 /10. The meat was good, but the ingredients were overwhelming. The bun was to much. Service was horrible. They took forever to take our orders although the place wasn't busy and the food took a little longer. Additionally, they forgot to put in the order for our mozzarella sticks. read more

We were very excited to try the burgers after seeing them on Instagram, but DONT believe the hype!! We waited for drinks as the food was prepared which was not a big deal. Then I got my burger and he had to wait for his because the cook forgot to add something. Fries came after the burger and the jalapeño popper breading was horrible and overcooked. The cheese wasn't melted which was concerning. The fries were soft and undercooked. On our way home we both had stomach pains and intense cramping. Something was definitely off about the food. In addition, the cook was sitting in the diner area with his cooking gloves on his phone. Then I went to the bathroom to wash my hands. Omg, the bathroom was gross and disgusting!!! Tiger strips left in the toilet bowl, and disgusting walls. Then as I walked back to the table I couldn't help but notice the disgusting meal prep area. The floor was gross and the cooking area look unhygienic. I HIGHLY do NOT recommend it. If the health department would have been there they would have been fined heavily or shut down. Overpriced and not worth the hype. Beware!! I hope we don't have food poisoning FYI I have no agenda. I just stated facts and roll the camera! Take this as an opportunity to do better! *UPDATE He vomited and was on the toilet all night. eat at your own risk. https://donteatherechicago.com/view/firefly_burger_chicago_25770 read more

Firefly Burger - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

The food was incredible ! My friends and I have been traveling a lot and few places have great burgers like the one we tried at this spot . I highly recommend it . The cheese fries were great and so the salad . The service was great ! read more

Truly one of the best burgers I've tried in Chicago. Amazing flavor and fun presentation with the smoke machine and cheese injection. Staff is polite and helpful, paying attention and giving useful recommendations. More of a casual place, relaxed ambiance. Must-try in Chicago. read more

Service was bad. You walk in and no one greets you or explains if you can seat yourself or wait. All male staff just kept talking to each other loudly. Very unprofessional. Took 11 minutes for "waiter" to come take the order and the place was empty. read more

I am happy to see a burger place in the former CVS spot right next to Allende, one of my fav places for a quick tostada! I was hopeful that we would see juicy burgers and fresh flavors but was disappointed, although the fries were good. My companions had a cheeseburger and a the Smokey and I had a Caesar salad which was really flavorless. It could have had better tomatoes and romaine lettuce instead of iceberg lettuce. Cherry tomatoes offer more flavor than the larger tomatoes which are generally tasteless and mushy this time of year. The dressing was dull as was the whole salad. My advice would be that if you can't make the Caesar salad delicious then just offer a house salad with a house balsamic that you make from your own ingredients. And skip the storebought croutons - they are never good. As to the cheeseburger - the only cheese offered was the runny kind. The server used the word "melted". We got it on the side and it's Cheese Wiz. I happen to enjoy Cheese Wiz on fries occasionally so I did like the fries dipped in it, but on a gourmet cheeseburger, Cheese Wiz has absolutely no place. If you are going to offer cheeseburgers, a basic selection containing cheddar, Swiss and American is essential. If you can't offer this most basic selection of cheeses, then I would leave cheeseburger off the menu. As to the Smokeburger - it came with an unmelted slice of what looked like smoked Gouda. Should have been melted. My companion said the best part of the burger was the bun. They brought us some complimentary donuts after dinner which was a nice touch. The bathroom needs extra attention since it serves all customers. Water was everywhere and the mirror should be back on the wall. I liked the server and he was trying. The fact that they attempt to answer almost every review on Yelp is proof that they are trying. Just need to tweak some things as mentioned above. read more

Front service was rude. Need to train their staff in hosting and customer service. I intended to order my own burger from apart from my party and they refused to take it unless I ordered with my table. My intention was to pay separately but they refused. read more

EXCEPTIONAL. Very crowded and long wait, but the burger is the best you'll ever have and I'm not kidding.

To say I annihilated this food is an understatement. This is definitely been one of the best burgers I have ever had. I got the firefly burger with fries and an oreo shake, I would highly recommend. The customer service here is absolutely amazing, as soon as we entered the restaurant we were greeted kindly and I felt at home. It's very comfortable inside and the seating is great. Overall I am definitely coming back and I would highly recommend if you're in the area to check it out! Thanks Firefly Burgers!! read more

It's my first time coming to this place so customer service was great. The food however was a bit mid. Cheese fries were good, the firefly burger was not great. The burger meat was dry and had a weird taste to it, no seasoning. My friend ordered a crispy chicken breast sandwich but in reality it was chicken tenders slapped together on a piece of bread and called a crispy chicken breast sandwich, which also tasted weird and not good. Mozzarella sticks had no seasoning, but the fries were decent because of the seasoning. The price does not match the quality of the food and that's why I was a bit dissatisfied. read more

The burger itself was good but definitely not worth the price. The bacon was floppy and despite their appearance, the fries lacked flavor. One of the chefs was vaping in the kitchen and the music stopped playing for 10 minutes. I did like that they had gloves to wear when eating! read more

Great new burger place in Lincoln Park. The owner is very kind and hospitable. Definitely worth a try!

Great service. Super nice. Good burgers. Had the egg bacon. Fries were well seasoned too.

Best burger ever had and the owner is a very nice guy. MUST TRY. I had the wall-street burger totally recommended

I really enjoy a Great burger with a nice sauce, Lincoln park area. Awesome service. Owners are very friendly . I'll definitely come back with family and friends read more

My husband has been begging me to go here and we finally got to go today. He ordered a Egg Bacon burger and added a chicken breast (only the sandwich no fries or a drink) About 15 minutes after we ordered the server came over and told him he didn't have anymore chicken breasts and my husband decided to just get an extra beef patty, then the server came back and said he found a chicken breast so all was well, we waited a while which is understandable when ordering chicken. When our order came my husband took a bite of his food and immediately spit it out as his chicken was completely raw on the inside, he got the server to come back over and notified him and the server said to give him a second as he took the tray of food away he came back over and asked if he wanted him to take the chicken off or remake the burger again and my husband said he wanted a new burger with an extra beef patty instead of the chicken. I finished my burger well before his new burger came out and it was only one beef patty so he was disappointed but was hungry so he ate. The server assured him he would be offering him a discount at the end of our meal. What I will say is the burger was not very good at all. The bun is really nice & soft but really large for such a small beef patty. I ordered the regular cheeseburger meal and substituted regular fries with curly fries & a Pepsi (the menu said this was around $20). It comes with grilled onions which really didn't have a good flavor so I ended up taking them off my burger. The photos on Facebook as well and instagram are nothing compared to the burger you receive which of course is the same at all restaurants but another couple in the restaurant were comparing the instagram photos to their burgers and were also disappointed. We go to pay and our total with the discount is $41. Obviously I understand that times are hard and the prices of everything has increased & it's a new business but we were pretty disappointed leaving. read more

Honestly, I think this place may be underrated. I got a simple cheeseburger meal with no onion. It took a minute to get out but the atmosphere and service are very nice. Plus, the burgers are HUGE! The fries have good spices on them and mine came with ketchup and mayo as a condiment. Definitely get what you pay for. Even with that, my meal was only $20. Super nice people. Plus, free refills on drinks! read more

Food was great! I had the firefly burger and it was cooked to perfection and had a great sauce. The fries were crispy and not oversalted. The mozzarella sticks were good but they didn't have a marinara sauce with it, which was slightly disappointing. Food was halal, which I wasn't expecting but was a nice surprise!! read more

Unexpectedly the fries were the best part. They're fried to a good crisp. Service was very good although there was a wait since it was Friday night. read more

We ordered take out - burgers were great but sides were very small, disappointed in that

Showed up today at 11 am to try a burger. Website, Google and the sign on the door all said open at 11 but no one was inside and no lights on. I waited until 11:30 but nobody showed up. Hard pass, don't waste your time on another one of these new burger chains that will be closed within a year. read more

I really want this place to succeed so please take this feedback the right way. The bun is high quality, the beef is top notch, fries hot & crispy and sauces are imaginative. Staff is friendly. However the meal is inedible. Delicious but inedible. Burger is drenched in sauce to the extent that it soaks the bun and hides the beef. You can't pick up the burger without wearing it. It's a disgusting mess. Lunch break during work? Not an option. Date night? No way. Dinner before a show? Only if you're planning to change your clothes. Providing vinyl gloves is not the solution - toning down the sauce is - maybe put it on the side. There are too many dining options to have a flaw this considerable. read more

Seriously the best burger we've ever had! We had the mini Kamikaze burgers with cheese injection. So cool!! Fried jalapeños were also so so good. The restaurant staff all were very sweet and nice. Everything: amazing! 10/10 come to this restaurant, you really won't regret it! read more

I am stunned at all the reviews about bad service , the place is small and understaffed you kind of expect that these days especially from a small business . Therefore what's important to me is the value I'm getting for what I'm paying so quality is Paramount . Considering the plethora of burger options out there this place isn't even close . 17 to $20 for a burger and frozen commercial fries. The menu is so complicated with detail I suppose because they want you to buy into the specialty aspect especially considering their steep pricing. I passed on reading through it and asked for a cheesebuger with Chicago style condiments. What I got was a miniscule party buried beneath a bun the size of a frisbee. I pointed out to the owner what a bad look it was. To his credit he was a nice man but his reasoning made zero sense. Couldn't get smalller buns??? I guess if you dont opt for one of their specialty burgers and go simple then there just isnt any effort being applied. With a bottle of water & a tip my bill was almost $24. Again let me make this clear. A tiny dramatically undersized patty & NOT fresh fries. On a last note the owner told me rather proudly his competition is Au Cheval... What kind of hubris is that when you're quality doesnt match Res Hot Ranch whom actually have several high profile food critic recommendations. For 1/3 the price! This is vienna stand quality up priced for survival not a desire to raise the bar or compete with the big boys. Dont waste your time. read more

Food, awesome! One of the largest, juiciest burgers you'll ever get in Lincoln Park. Instead of one sauce for my fries they game me a shot rack of sauces to choose from! Oh and the friendliness of the host was just the icing on the cake. Definitely coming here again! read more

There's no communication. We waited in line for an hour before they even told us we have to come to the front of the line to order which was impossible since there was no room to even get to the front. For 2 burger meals it was $66. The food wasn't spectacular enough to pay that much. All the hype for this place is most likely from TikTok. read more

Came here for a late dinner and was pleased with service and food. Burger was tasty and bun was a good size ratio. Chicken fingers were very crispy. Need to try and injected burger still tho read more

Incredible burgers and service--they even gave us a free cinnamon roll! The burgers are also very large, and I'd highly recommend the Smokey. read more

Great casual neighborhood burger spot! So delicious and the service is AMAZING. Will definitely be back.

Tasty burgers! I recommend dipping the fries in their homemade mayo or Bucharest sauce. The student meal is a good deal as well and the bowls are tasty! Great location right by Lincoln hall so we just grabbed a quick bite before the show! read more

Awesome burger spot in Lincoln park. Had two of their burgers Smokey and firefly and both were excellent. Portion size justifies the price bc I was STUFFED after eating one burger. Smokey burger was delicious and had a good Smokey flavor in the beef bacon.firefly burger had a bit more spicy kick to it and was also very good. EXCELLENT customer service. The host (said was his name I believe) was very kind and gave some good recs. I truly hope this burger place prospers and I'll be back to try some elf their other items! read more

The burgers here are simply delicious- it's one of the best burgers I've had in Chicago. Super juicy, with original firefly sauce that brings all of the flavors together. The tomatoes and pickles are super fresh and do not overwhelm the flavor of the burger patty itself. The staff was very friendly and accommodating with our personalization of the order -- he double checked to make sure that my request of no bacon was honored! I'm so glad an amazing new burger place has opened up in our neighborhood, I will definitely be back! Stop in if you pass by!! read more

Absolutely amazing experience at Firefly tonight! The owner is very sweet and was committed to making our dinner great. We got the Firefly burger and the Backfire burger and both were huge and very flavorful. The fries are great as well. 10/10 experience; we will be back for the grand opening! read more

amazing went tonight best burger ever going there again
