    Special smash burger with fries
    Eric P.

    Walking into this tavern that open the mornings to pop up restaurants and it was a cool atmosphere with folks working on their laptops. We stepped up and saw the perfect combo of lunch and breakfast. I wanted the smash burger and the brother who took my order mentioned they have a special smash burger that is topped with their thick bacon, cheese, red onions and special BBQ sauce. It was one of the best burgers I've had. Crispy beef patties and flavors all perfectly balanced! Wife has their bacon egg and cheese McMuffin and the McMuffin was insanely fresh and fluffy. It was the highlight oddly! Fries were delicious! Skip the potatoes wasn't impressed. Don't hesitate and go!

    A fabulous atmosphere contained in the Long Room bar. The Nice Guy (Brad) uses fresh spices, herbs and ingredients and bakes his own brioche and English muffins. It's all great, but his Smashburger is the best you'll get anywhere.

    I work around the corner from here and come by for lunch almost every week. I typically get the Mushroom Melt but I've never been disappointed by something on their menu! You can tell the ingredients are high quality and everything I've tried has been fresh and flavorful. The staff is also very friendly and provides great customer service. I would highly recommend trying it out!

    Nice Guy Food Co. has one of my favorite smash burgers in Chicago. It is fantastic and the chefs are extremely friendly. They also happen to be serving up this delicious burg in the kitchen at one of my favorite bars - The Long Room. The ambiance is always a good time and the bartenders are friendly. If you're looking for one of the best burgers that's also a little under the radar, this is the one that you should try!

    Hearty made to order food. Choices of chicken, beef, fish dishes. Breakfast is great, too. Have a drink while you wait at the bar.

    Absolutely insane experience. Make sure you get a reservation because this place gets booked up…read morequickly and rightfully so. My wife and I ordered the bone marrow to start and shared a single cheeseburger with the bacon and egg add on. The bone marrow with the marmalade on the side was amazing. I loved the thick toast they gave on the side. It was the perfect balance for such a rich dish. The burger is probably one of the best burgers I've had in my life. The bun was nice and fluffy, the burger was juicy, the bacon was thick and flavorful, and the egg was cooked to perfection. For a couple of bites, we threw a little bone marrow and the marmalade on the burger and it took it to a whole new level. The restaurant was small and comfortable. A tad loud with the music, but I didn't mind too much. I would gladly trade that for the delicious meal we had. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great burger. Just make sure you get a reservation early.

    Arrived just as they opened at 10AM on a Friday and were the first customers in the door, but by…read morethe time we left at 11:30 there was a good sized line. Vibes inside are excellent and drinks are (very) boozy with a variety of booths, tables, and bar seating available. Burger with Egg and Bacon (4.25/5): Look, this is a great burger. Bacon is melt in your mouth and the egg adds a bit of creamy richness on top of the fatty, salty beef and cheese combo. The bread bun is pillowy, but I wouldn't wait in a line for hours for this. Bone Marrow (10/5): Now I would wait in line for hours for this bone marrow dish that absolutely changed my life. This comes with 4 HUGE pieces of bone marrow that you spread over fluffy, perfectly toasted Texas toast and pair with a beef cheek marmalade that exactly rides the line between sweet and savory. If you come here without ordering this, you're missing out big time. Green Salad (4/5): Nice, fresh and I needed some fiber. Nothing mind blowing, but a good change of pace. Crispy Fries (4/5): Very lightly crispy fries (reminiscent of light well for the west coasters), but the sauces are where this shines. Garlic aioli and mornay sauce (think white gravy) were rich, thick, and excellent! Key Lime Pie (4.25/5): Whipped cream on this INCREDIBLE, wish you could just order a bowl of that. I think they serve it slightly warmer than fridge temp (cool not cold) and it just melts on the tongue with really strong vanilla flavor. Pie itself is also good; nice strong tartness with the buttery and salty crust. Mille-Feuille (4.5/5): Chocolate sauce has a nice depth of flavor with the shattering crisp of the pastry. Pastry cream was a lot thicker than I expected, but super rich and delicious. Definitely a dessert to share.
