    This looks like an old school burger stand, easy to miss when driving down Cicero. My mom was getting an infusion across the street so I was looking for lunch in the area. The burgers are amazing! Huge fresh made to order smash burgers with unlimited free toppings. I ate the whole burger and needed a nap afterwards but it was too good to save for later. I will say they are a little pricier than I expected. For a cheeseburger, fries, and Pepsi it was almost $15. In the future, I will only get the burger with unlimited toppings and skip the fries and drink, save myself $5.

    Nothing fancy, but sometimes you don't need fancy. Just good burgers, hotdogs & sausages at a good price. The fries were a bit salty, but I'm not a heavy salt person so probably good with everyone else. The staff was amazingly friendly, and the service was quick. Everything was fresh and hot. Great meals - sandwich & fries.

    Nice little joint with food made fresh to order. My wife had the burger and is well above the average fast food burger. I had the 2 Hot dog special made with fresh quality ingredients. The guy that runs this operation is super nice and checked on us to make sure we were satisfied with our food. Highly recommend!!

    I was happily surprised by Retro Burger. The name implies that it comes from the past, however their high quality ingredients and simple, clean aesthetic imply that they are well versed in executing the modern, fast-casual experience. The customer service experience was friendly and efficient. I ordered their burger and fries. They started making my burger as soon as it was ordered. I think my whole order took less than 3 minutes. Everything was super fresh. I loved the warm brioche bun and the fatty, salty patty. The fries were perfectly cooked, their flavor and texture reminded me of a non-crinkle version served by a popular Chicago chain whose name rhymes with "pillows". Everything about my experience was top notch, and I look forward to my next visit to experiment with toppings including avocado, feta, and fried egg.

    Food is very good and fresh. Just a tad pricey. Good place to eat at once in a while. A little too expensive to do it frequently.

    This review is a long time coming but necessary! My wife and…read moreI got married in December having a small courthouse gathering. We waited until March then looked for a venue to renew vows and have a celebratory meal with family and friends. As we both had been to Bella Mia several times together it was a short search. We originally planned the event with a former employee who left the restaurant as the date, (March 21st), was approaching. Randy the owner then took over. He made several suggestions different from what we'd originally planned, including changing the area of the renewal of vows and where our wedding officiate would be in front of the guests, but they turned out to be perfect!! The event was nothing short of fantastic! My wife had tears in her eyes much of the service! The food was spectacular, and everyone raved about it! Randy and his staff gave us a wedding to remember, and we are eternally grateful for what Bella Mia did for us and couldn't be happier that was the venue we chose!!!

    We came in looking forward to dinner and unfortunately left disappointed…read more The positives first: my wife's espresso martini was excellent -- easily the highlight of the evening. Her Chicken Vesuvio was very good, and the Shrimp DeJonghe appetizer was enjoyable, especially with the bread. Unfortunately, everything declined once the entrées arrived. My porterhouse steak was placed on the table rather abruptly, and the cut looked more like a T-bone, with the filet portion nearly nonexistent. The quality of the meat was poor and extremely tough -- barely edible. I rarely ask for A1 sauce with a steak, but it was the only way I could get through it. The baked potato was dry, and while the side salad was fresh, it felt more like cafeteria-quality than something from a restaurant at this price point. Shortly after dropping off the entrées, the waitress quickly asked how the food was. I responded, "just okay," but she immediately walked away, not giving the impression that she was interested in hearing anything further. That set the tone for the rest of the service. What made the situation more disappointing was seeing the table next to us receive the same porterhouse. Their steak appeared nearly twice the size of mine, had a clearly defined filet portion, and they were able to cut into it effortlessly. The inconsistency was very noticeable. After that, service was largely absent. We waited about 20 minutes trying to locate our waitress Dee with no success. The owner did stop by and was very friendly when we asked for A1 sauce, but overall the service remained slow. It took roughly 30 minutes to get a water refill and another 30 minutes to receive our check. The explanation given was that she had been in the back handling a difficult order. For the price and expectations that come with ordering a porterhouse, this experience did not meet the standard. While there were a few bright spots, the inconsistency in food quality and service makes this a 2-star experience at best.

    This place has really taken a downhill spiral…read more The last several time we've ordered from here the food has been terrible. From from the overcooked BBQ Chicken that has been sitting to long to the tasteless burger meat that's gives the flavor of what a Taco Bell meat patty would taste like without being seasoned. Last night will be our last visit. We ordered a gyro sandwich with tomatoes only. After arriving home we found all of the gyro pieces to be cut chunky as if the were the last pieces left clinging to the metal rod of the rotisserie. The meat tasted old and unseasoned and none had the outer char that is so appealing with gyros. To top things off the drive through service is no longer customer focused. They spend more time talking to each other instead of attending to the customers. I'm not sure if there was an ownership change or loss of great staff due to attrition. Not a hello, how are you or any thank you when you pay. I apologize for the low quality of the close up shots of the gyro pieces. You can see though how it is chopped into large pieces instead of slices along the cone for crispy longer thin pieces.

    Their food is always good fresh and hot. I ordered the half bbq chicken with baked potato. I added…read moretossed salad as well to complete my meal.the total was $11 and change for all of this.

Once you get past that though they do almost everything well. I have never been disappointed by the food. I love the skin on french fries! The gyro plate is huge. And the hotdog special can't be beat. Often there is a wait to order. It doesn't really matter usually because they put the food out so fast. A quick note: I have been seeing the same faces at this place for years. It's a good feeling to know that I am supporting a local establishment with local roots. If you are looking for a quick bite, that may not necessarily meet strict dietary guidelines, you should really give this place a try. Hopefully you'll like it every bit as much as I do.
