    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.

    Au mother Fugging Cheval -- A Burger That Actually Lives Up to the Hype…read more The Spot itself has major aura and swagger. Hard to describe but you just know you're at a very important place but that doesn't take itself too seriously. There are burgers that are good, burgers that are great, and then there's Au Cheval. I went in with pretty ridiculous expectations considering this place has been called one of the best burger spots in the world...and somehow, the burger still delivered. That's rare. The patties were insanely juicy and perfectly cooked, with that beautiful crispy, caramelized edge you want from a great griddle burger. The combination of the melted cheese, creamy sauce, onions, pickles and that ridiculously buttery brioche bun was borderline unfair. Rich, messy, salty, savory and completely indulgent in the best possible way. And that bun deserves its own mention. Soft enough to absorb all that glorious burger juice without completely falling apart. The whole thing is constructed like someone actually understands what makes a burger great. Is it the best burger I've ever had? I DONT FUCKING KNOW. but I completely understand why people put Au Cheval in the conversation for best burger in America, if not the world. The hype is real. This is a fucking burger. 9.7/10

There is outdoor seating under a pergola lined with semi-private planters, while the inside features a bar, high tops, low tops, and large booths. The music was upbeat, giving the space an elevated lounge vibe that pairs really well with the upholstered booths and vintage industrial design. I ordered the Wolf Burger, which is a whopping three-patty burger. That first bite was juicy and pure bliss--a total explosion of great flavors. It was a little messy (like all burgers with an egg), but the extra liquid was perfect for balancing the density of such a meaty burger. The soft bun soaked in a lot of those juices with each bite, intensifying the flavor as I ate more. The fries were thin and on the greasier side--not my personal favorite, but they worked alright as a vehicle for the sauce. Speaking of which, the chili aioli served with the fries was fantastic. We also got the mac and cheese, which hit a great balance between rich and creamy without feeling excessively wet. The boat it came in was a bit small, making it a little messy to scoop out with the serving spoon, but it was soooo good. Overall, it is absolutely a fantastic neighborhood place for comfort food and drinks with friends in a great space!

We popped in here for a quick bite before husband's show in Wrigleyville. It was pretty empty what we arrived and the overall ambiance feels sterile.

I got the veggie version of the Little DMK and the Lazy Refresher mocktail. *I ordered fries for us to split, which is when the waitress warned me about the fries. I really appreciated the call out, but was surprised it wasn't on the menu itself. Husband got the patty melt and noted that the beef tasted very peppered. Both burgers were fine. My drink was a little sweet, but overall good. Staff was friendly and attentive, but even if I were in the neighborhood, I don't see it as a place we'd frequent.
