Great burgers loved the onion rings the local is a great burger they cook it to your specks and have a half dozen items you can add. Wait staff could not have been nicer. read more

Was there there last week - needed a great burger fix. My new fav in the local burger with the bleu/gargonzola (can't remember which stinky cheese it was) cheese topping also love the Tinga wrap. Great place great good great beer and great service. You never disappoiny read more

Very good burgers. Shrimp burger is really good and beer list is typically very good too. Only drawback is it is hard to get in here on a weekend for dinner. Lunch or weeknights are much easier. read more

Maybe I wasn't in the mood for burgers the time we went here. I should probably go again to give a fair review. But just based on that first time, I'd say I wasn't very impressed. It was just okay burgers. I added an egg for an extra dollar but the egg was all brown on one side and obviously overcooked, i didn't bother eating it. The fries are good. Serving size is huge so that's a good thing. I'll update review after a second attempt in the future. read more

Great place, great food. Would highly recommend them for a great place to grab some grubs. Burgers and wraps are good.

The food is great! The burgers are delicious and cooked how ordered. The milk shakes are huge and decadent, it's one of my son's favorite treats. The draft selection on occasion leaves something to be desired, lots of stouts and IPA's, but the lighter beers I've seen sold out a few times. Overall highly recommend. read more

We followed our nose while we were finishing up or Christmas shopping. The burgers were delicious. Big harty burgers like you would make at home. $12 for a burger that not only filled me up but I didn't even need dinner I was still full, to top it off you have your choice of cheese and dozens of cheese choices, a bacon topper and I chose to have it all on a pretzel bun. The fries were yummy and crispy and the only negative about the place is the fries were a little too salty for is. The food came out on cutting boards and the decor was so unique. read more

The Burger Local - Burgers Near Me - Geneva, Illinois

Overall, the burgers are GREAT! Fries are good, too. Lots of great options. And a good beer selection. The service is so-so, not quite bad, but kind of indifferent... The biggest downer here for old dudes like me is the noise level. It's overwhelmingly echoey in here, and forget listening to your friend/buddy unless they're sitting right next to you at the bar. read more

My daughter and I visited the burger local. I like the ambience and décor of this place. I had the French dip burger and my daughter had grilled chicken tacos. My burger was cooked medium with grilled onions along with onion straws. They also gave me aside of Aju to dip my burger. It was tender and flavorful and fun to eat for my taste buds! They have a nice selection of craft beers as well. The service was good and we didn't wait to eat long. I will be back soon! read more

Food was great and came out quick. Service was sub-par. Our server did not get our order right and stated that the soup of the day was something different than what was received. Our server did not offer any dessert as I planned on having one of their milkshakes. Food was great but I will not be coming back or recommending to anyone any time soon. read more

This place has great juicy burgers and the fries are the best. Nothing beats those crispy golden fries. They have a good selection of brews and drinks to choose from. Service time was reasonable. It was an interesting bar as far as design goes. The crowd there is rather large and doesn't really match the atmosphere of the bar; however, if you have good food and beer then you attract all walks of life. The crowd appeared to be middle-aged and older. Probably because it's a little more expensive than the average bar, but it does make up for that in quality. If you have an affinity for red flannel, beards, and cuffed jeans then you will probably be pleased with the trendy fashion choices of the staff. read more

I really can't understand all the five star reviews. Stopped in to give it a try and first impressions were good. It's a nice place although a little noisy. My daughter and I both ordered the double diner burger and it was just barely ok. The meat really had no flavor so if not for the pork belly and egg and pretzel bun and sauce it was a tasteless piece of meat. The only forgiving thing was the fresh cut fries...they were pretty good. But, at $12 a pop, just not worth it. Sorry. read more

Another burger joint? Whaaaa? I know but this place is really good. We ordered the burger with short rib. It was amazing! All flavor. All substance. It somehow stayed together nicely and didn't fall apart as we ate it. How crazy is that? We upgraded to the onion rings...they were good but not our favorites. We'll stick with the fries next time. Next time? For sure. Between the food and cocktails, this place is on our return list. Plus we had great service at the bar. That seals the deal for us! read more

This burgers rock, they have great combos for anyone's tastebuds. Can get a little crowded, I always all ahead to see how long the wait is. Fried as prime time. Best burgers around. Wait staff is okay, last time I was there they were al sitting around the bar gossiping while I was waiting for refills, napkins and ketchup. Had to go tap waitress at the bar to get service. Overall great place. read more

One of the best burger places I've ever been to! All the burgers sound and taste so good. I was recommended to try the shrimp burger last time and let me tell you, it doesn't sound as good as the other burgers when you read the menu,but it is probably the best!! And light so you don't feel too heavy when you scarf it all down. The service is also always so nice, Last time they had accidentally spilled ketchup on my boyfriend(wasn't a big deal though) but they insisted we be comped even when we kept saying we didn't mind at all!! I crave burger local all the time. It's a must try for anyone who hasn't. read more

The burgers were very unique and well put together. We had the short rib burger and the bbq burger. The short rib on the burger was very tender, and the onion rings on the bbq burger were awesome. I usually don't care for onion rings much but ate them up quickly. Definitely reccomend checking this place out. Will go again. read more

Burger tasted good! But the one I got was the cheese stuffed one and could not tell that it was undercooked in the middle with all the liquid cheese around that area. My family got the same and mine was the only one under cooked. They took a small amount off my bill since I had eaten half of it but a coupon to come back again would have been nice as well. It was disappointing since the other burgers were so good that mine wasn't as good. read more

Excellent BBQ burgers in a fun setting. They text you when your table is ready which allows you to mill around the shops while waiting. Service was fantastic! We will definitely return even though we live about 90 minutes away. read more

Food served that was warm was great, but it missed on temperature .... unfortunately the seating process left much to be desired, they are actually so poorly managed they are probably losing money, too many open tables and too much of an attitude....as for the food tasted great but sides came out cold and not appetizing, lot's of other options in the area read more

Best burgers, best Mac and cheese and great weekly taco specials! If you like buffalo, try the Mac and cheese with chicken and buffalo sauce! To die for... read more

Amazing! The burger was so good and I got the Mac n cheese as side with Italian beef and giardiniera, seriously so good! And our server was great too. First time there, will definitely be back read more

Great mac and cheese and awesome burgers and salad. Delicious! Fun atmosphere and good service. Been multiple times, enjoyed every meal.

Best wait staff, best burgers! Seriously folks, you have GOT to go! Been here about 3 times and my burger was cooked to perfection each and everytime. Juicy, cheesy, 5-napkin deliciousness. Nuff said read more

I don't give many, if any 5 stars but this place is all that. The burgers are up there with the best I've ever had, maybe they are the best I've ever had. Ate here for about the 5th time in the last year and decided to veer from my usual order of the local with cambinzola cheese, amazing. Tonight I went with their special and really glad I did. It was a Jalapeño burger, the flavor was off the charts, just the right amount of spiciness. Really hope they make that one a permanent choice. We started with the tots appetizer which was amazing, brisket, gravy, cheese, all I can say is wow, everything was on point. Service was great. As always, can't wait to return. read more

My whole family came here for my sister's birthday meal- and it was one of the best I have had in a very long time. The service was perfection all night long- drinks never empty, questions answered, and pleasant & fun employees. I started with the Mexican Sunset cocktail to drink- it was refreshing and delicious. We started our meal with the Portobello Croquets, and should have gotten 3 orders because we inhaled the first two :) Highly recommend as a starter. When we come back, there are several others I want to try like the tots & deviled eggs. When it came to the entree, I wanted to get what I always get when I try a burger joint for the first time, and that was the BBQ burger. The onion rings on it were crispy and delicious, cooked perfectly, and heaven in a burger. For me, the burger was enough. I did try a bite of my dad's mac & cheese side though- and it was also delicious! I can't wait to come back and try the 20 other things on the menu that I want to eat! read more

Good beer selection, Love their Burgers and Mac and Cheese.

Interesting little spot at the west end of downtown. They have mostly community style seating so expect to be placed near others. This is probably a new concept for the suburbs. We tried the deviled eggs with their homemade hot sauce. I thought they were great but my husband pointed out the hot sauce was more like a syrup in sweetness. We both ordered burgers; my husband got the hangover and he was unimpressed. I got the French dip which has a unique flavor. Our server seemed a bit dazed; like she wasn't fully present. The decor is pretty cool and a mix of rustic and faux vintage. They also have an arcade of the side for the kids. Overall a fine experience. read more

Only place in the west suburbs with a burger on par with the specialty burger shops in chicago. They always have different specialty burgers when I go. Never disappointed. All their sides are solid too! read more

Just visited The Burger Local for lunch. Absolutely outstanding!! We had the Short Rib Burger with fries and the Black and Bleu Burger with Gruyere instead of Gorgonzola and a side of Mac and Cheese. Both were 10 Oz. patties cooked to perfection. The decor is very comfortable and the service was wonderful. My wife and I agreed they were the best burgers we've had. We will definitely be returning frequently. read more

The Burger Local - Short Rib Burger and fries. - Burgers Near Me - Geneva, Illinois

Excellent food, ambience and service. All the burgers are fantastic! I think they are better than most of the burger places in the city. Highly recommend for a satisfying and delicious meal. The outdoor patio is very nice too. read more

Cute place. One of the best burgers I ever had. Only draw back, It's very noisy, difficult to have a conversation.

Sooo good. Great salads and love the chicken sandwich + fries + atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Amazing burgers in downtown Geneva! The Burger Local is right across from the train station and replaced a Mexican place I didn't like much. After hearing the raves a few friends, my boyfriend and I just had to try! We started with some oxtail tostadas... Absolutely amazing. Then I had the four pepper burger while my boyfriend tried the pimento burger. I wasn't even that hungry but devoured the whole thing. It was just spicy enough, with bacon, pepper jack cheese, and with crunchy fried onions dusted with habenero sauce. Amazing! I only had one bite of my boyfriends pimento burger, but it was a unique olive flavor. My boyfriend polished off his burger too! Both of the burgers were juicy and cooked to perfection. Oh, and the hand cut fries are amazing too! Great service also. The perfect place for that "burger splurge!" read more

Burgers are delicious! My husband and I really enjoyed the food. There is a good craft beer selections. A nice addition to Geneva!

Meh. It's pretty typical Geneva food. It's mediocre and overpriced. They try to bring something new to the table but end up with more of the same. The fries were too salty to eat, the mac and cheese just didn't taste very good and the greasy burger came out wrong. The staff was nice enough but they need to get some new teenagers at the hostess stand. The girls there today were full of judgement and eye rolls as they glared at every single person that came in the door. Typical teenager thing, I'm pretty sure they have no idea how to keep a straight face yet. Wait staff was ok but with only half of the tables full, I still had to flag the waitress down for refills, etc. I stopped in after the lunch rush so I'm sure everyone was just tired out. read more

My new fav burger place. I got the 4 pepper burger - which most burgers claim to be "spicy", this one definitely was. Loved every bite of it. The restaurant was accommodating with all the infants and toddlers we had with us and gave us the private room in back to let them run around and spread out. Will definitely be back! read more

Massively chaotic check in process of late. Friday night, prime time, homecoming weekend, multiple empty tables and a 45 Minute wait. Front of house staff needs some training. read more

Drove by the other day to see if they were open and they were. Great atmosphere and decor compared to the last restaurant located there. Burgers were delicious and massive. Great value and friendly staff. Would definitely go back! read more

Flavor flavor flavor. 4 of us all ordered different drinks and different meals. All are outstanding. Try the alternative protein burgers ! Will be back a lot! read more

Been a couple times and they have really good burgers and food in general. First 2 times service was great and the waitress was very attentive. The 3rd time service was possibly the worst I've ever had. Waitress came by maybe a total of twice the whole hour we were there. Seemed to forget about us. We repeatedly asked for drink, but she never complied and we also didn't receive forks or knives until we asked her twice and even then, she still took 10 minutes to get them to us. read more
