This place is so close to us and now I know it's a great spot for all delicious burger and fries! We didn't have the highest expectations bc we've tried all the "best burgers" in Chicago and this hasn't made the list but I'm here to say... it should!! Gets in my top five. I could do without the lettuce but otherwise my husband and I both thought the OG burger was delicious! Good portion and not tooo greasy. The fries were soggy bc we did takeout but after a quick air fry, they were delicious too. We also got a "all the right moves" pizza. It was good, not great. I wouldn't come back solely for the pizza but I did enjoy it. Good amount of pepperoni, loved the honey. Just better pizza options in the area. Still tasty though!

Long overdue Review. My original dinner plans fell through so I noticed that Stop Along wasn't to far so me and my sister headed here. I like how SA is set up with outdoor seating right in front and on the sides and it looks a little divey on the inside, cute neighborhood spot. We were told to sit wherever and immediately handed menus. I knew that I wanted pizza, so I ordered a small Major Payne pizza which comes with pepperoni, jalapeños, garlic and cilantro and sis got the Stop-In burger. Our food came out looking so good and everything tasted on point! My pizza was so good, the pepp had great flavor, the jalapenos were actually spicy and I appreciated the flavor the cilantro added. My sister and I's plan to split our food was immediately thwarted--she took one bite of her burger and suddenly forgot I existed lol but I was able to get a bit and it was delicious. We had a great time, delicious food, customer service was really good. I'll definitely return when visiting Chicago again

Maybe the best burger I've ever eaten and trust me I've had my fair share. Brought guests here and they were blown away. The vibe is fun and casual. Perfection across the board

The pizza was delicious and the staff was very friendly. I really enjoyed the way the place was decorated. The artwork is great! Check it out if you're in the area.

Read about StopAlong having one of the top burgers in Chicago and knew I had to stop by - it was delicious! Meat cooked perfectly, all the fixings paired well, too. Fries were a little overdone for my preference, but burger was definitely the star of the show. Atmosphere is really cute - had a true diner/local joint feel.

Unwelcoming service, I was overlooked and wasn't greeted even while standing at the counter. It gave racism and/or sexism. Especially when she/cashier attended to all the men first before speaking to me. Not sure if someone called off and she was overwhelmed however, first impression last. The pizza look and taste rushed as though they threw it together. It had too much pepperoni which was salty & of low quality plus the dough wasn't fully cooked. Pizza sauce has good flavor. Won't be returning

We met some friends for dinner and it was the best time! My husband and I had never been here before and we absolutely loved the set up! All the art was beautiful and really tied everything together, brought us right back to our childhood. We each got a burger and it was one of the best burgers I have ever had! We got three Stop-In burgers with fries and one That Other Burger with cheese fries. The smash burgers were cooked perfectly, cooked through, but not burnt. The burgers had the right amount of sauce to cheese to meat ratio...it was perfection! We also split a 10" All the Right Moves pizza and it was so tasty, the crust had the right amount of crunch to it, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. This place definitely lived up to the hype and we will for sure be back.

Takeout review: Deliciously greasy cup pepperoni, perfect crust and sauce was not overtly sweet. Loved it!

With the desire in ordering from somewhere I had not eaten before, the interest in The StopAlong came after a search of 'Beyond Burger' via yelp. At the time, The StopAlong was one of the places that captured my interest, and it just so happened to be ranked number seven during my search. On an evening where I just wanted to take it easy without driving anywhere in my vehicle around Chicago, I ordered online via yelp. Other than the beyond burger, there were not many other items that caught my interest on the menu other than the different variations of pizza which I may or may not try on a different date. It took thirty-nine minutes from the time my order was acknowledged by Grubhub to the arrival of it at my residence. A shout out to the Grubhub delivery driver for making that happen in that astonishing time. I was not expecting the beyond burger to have a side of fries along with it being that it was not advertised online. Now the beyond burger itself looked very delicious! It is a beyond meat patty topped with American cheese, caramelized onions, pickles, lettuce, tomato, special sauce, on a brioche bun! As I took each bite of it, I had a smirk on my face in enjoyment. At one point, I could not help but shake my head and moan because it was that delicious, * chef's kiss *. With all aforementioned, I would gladly order from The StopAlong again whether it be in-restaurant order, or online via yelp with Grubhub delivery. Service: 5 | Atmosphere: N/A | Food: 5 Recommendations: beyond burger, side of fries, sm & lg garlic knots, cheesy garlic bread, or sm (10"): truffle, elle woods, corey corey, white pie, wild honey pie. ~ You're one in a million. ~ Thomas G

This place is a super cute casual restaurant. They serve pizza as well as burgers. The food was subpar but good for "fast" food. The service was decent and its video game themed! Recommend for a quick stop if you're in the area.

This place has one of the top 5 burgers I've had in the city! We've enjoyed it at Burger Fest two years in a row and finally decided to visit the brick-and-mortar location. Every ingredient was fresh, crispy, and perfectly balanced with each part of the burger. The ambiance was cool, retro, and bright, with TVs to catch the Bears game. The service was fantastic--kind and super chill. I was pleasantly surprised that even the cocktails were amazing. The Old Fashioned I had was on par with any top-tier downtown spot. And the animal-style fries? A perfect blend of cheese, 1000 island, and onions--tasty, not too messy, and balanced just right. Definitely worth the hype, and well deserved.

Spontaneously decided to go on a walk one night and have an outdoor meal at the Stop Along. We anticipated there might not be enough outdoor seating as we walked over but we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. In the warm weather months there are at least 4 tables along their dress up alleyway and another four tables out front between the establishment and bike lanes. We were seated/greeted right away. There were plenty of families with young kiddos and diners sitting outside their pups. We came early enough that their industrious string lights weren't on yet, but I imagine it's such a nice casual ambiance in the later evenings! We ordered their famous stop-in burger and large truffle shuffle to share parked with some limonata and lemonade. Our server was friendly and attentive, and we got a small box to take home our leftover truffle shuffle. The pizza dough was SO TASTY and perfectly baked, and there's a lot of sauce/flavors in their burger. The only thing to make the burger perfection would be more tomatoes (imo!). Next time, I'd love to come back to try their pizzas with hot honey. We couldn't have asked for a better impromptu casual Friday night out. One of my fave burger spots in the Wicker/Bucktwon area

Recently, my husband and I came here with some friends per their suggestion, and we all had a great experience. Upon walking in, I noticed the dining room was smaller than anticipated. Because of this, our group of 6 adults + a baby was difficult since families already took the longer tables. As a result, our party ended up sitting in two different adjoined booths, which kind of sucked, but we made it work. The decor of the dining room is retro and cool. They also apparently have arcade games in the backroom, but our group did not go into the backroom, so I can't comment on that. They also have a cute little patio on the side of their building, which we were planning on sitting at if it wasn't as chilly the day we went. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. She already knew our two friends and their baby because our friends had been there before. She consistently checked in on us and ensured we were content with our food and drinks. She also was helpful because the chef made one of our pizzas too small (which no one in our group noticed), but they ended up giving us an entire small pizza on the house to make up for the mistake. For my drink, I ordered a Bloody Mary. It was okay. I love spicy Bloodys, and this one was a bit more on the tomato sauce side. It wasn't bad by any means, but it was a little bland compared to some I've had. The drink also wasn't garnished with anything but a lemon... most places at least give some bacon, or a celery stick, cheese, or something! Nothing was even seasoned on the rim. Definitely room for improvement. As for food, our group ordered a couple of orders of garlic knots ($13 for each order). These were pretty good, but honestly, they weren't as garlicky as I was expecting. The dough was fresh and soft, but I do wish they were a bit more seasoned. When it comes to pizza, we ordered a large White pizza ($26) and a large All the Right Moves ($29). Both pizzas were great, and I LOVED the doughy risen crust, but if I was going to pick a favorite of the day, it would have to be the White pizza. The White pizza was made with garlic oil, fresh mozzarella, house mozzarella, ricotta, garlic, and pecorino romano. The pizza was flavorful, and the ricotta cheese dollops were heavenly. The All the Right Moves pizza had fresh mozzarella, Ezzo pepperoni, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, basil, hot honey, and spicy tomato sauce. Although this pizza was good, as well, it was a bit wet and messy. The hot honey was admittedly my favorite part of the pizza. I think I would have liked this pizza more if it had all of the same toppings but was a white pizza instead of having red sauce. I think the spicy tomato sauce clashed too much with the flavors of the hot honey and the pepperoni. My husband and our friend ordered the Cluck-Stop Sandwich ($16), which is a citrus-brined grilled chicken breast, mozzarella cheese, lettuce, tomato, pesto, garlic aioli, and a pretzel bun. Both men enjoyed the sandwich, and my husband said it was flavorful and fresh. He would get it again in the future. Overall, I truly enjoyed my first visit here, and I would recommend it to anyone. They have many specialty pizza options, and I can't wait to come back and try more. It was hard for us to pick the two we wanted to order just because there are so many delicious-sounding options on the menu.
