So happy this establishment has come back home!!! So many memories came back as soon as we got there. The old pictures and sign. The food was just as I remembered. Service was great especially considering it was opening weekend. Curly fries were delicious. Love the expanded beer menu. The atmosphere was very enjoyable. Love the decor. Can't wait to come back!! read more

Place was almost empty at noon on a Monday. Got a bacon cheeseburger, fries, and a pop. $15 w/ tip. Burger was very basic, but ok. Nothing special. Fries need a lot of help. No salt, no seasoning. Extremely bland. Not worth a second trip. read more

Wonderburger Grill - Bacon cheeseburger and fries. - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Really good hamburgers. I loved Super Burgers on Stony Ave and these are very close to them. Also their curly Q fries are the best around. Service was great also. read more

The best burger ever and the dumpling soup is to die for. I have been going to wonder burger since I was 12 when they were behind a corner restaurant on Kedzie and 111th. Then they moved across the street and from there to where they are now. I was so happy they reopened after 3 years closed or maybe it was a little longer. The burgers are even bigger and better than before, if that is possible. Love, love, love their food!!! read more

Love wonderburger. I go there a lot since I work in the area and my favorite is the Rueben Sandwich. The staff greets you as soon as you walk in and the food is always good. I love them read more

So clean and very very beautiful interior! The food is great and the service was great! Very polite staff and it was very quick and easy! Definitely recommend if you haven't tried or are visiting the area, it's a classic! read more

My fiancé grew up eating at the old location on Kedzie and has fond memories of the old man/owner who always came out to check on customers in the early 70s. We just ate there today....my first time and his first time since then!!! He said the burger was better than he remembers and was "near perfect". Awesome burger and delicious fries!!! We both loved it!!!! read more

This place has been our family's favorite for 50 years! We were heart broken when they closed on Kedzie but over joyed when they reopened on 111th! Great Burgers and especially the Curley fries read more

I have been going to wonderburger for years. I have always loved the food. Since the remodel they have added more food and they have yet to disappoint. We recently went with a large cheerleading group and they were so accommodating to us and the waitress really worked her butt off. The burgers were delicious and the curly fries were fresh and so good. I ordered the Really Good Chicken sandwich and it was really good! The girls loved the shakes too. The place is so welcoming and the staff is always nice too. Stop in for a beer too! read more

I am rating it 4/5 this restaurant has simple burger options that I can see are based on tradition of the original restaurant that opened in the 50s. But I hate to say it But I am wondering where the WOW factor is? Food is good prices are decent but I am looking for the something special that sets this apart from other burger joints. read more

The burgers and shakes were good. However... the fries were horrible. They were just way to dry.

Great food, try the Reuben! Casual bar/restaurant atmosphere, good drinks, reasonably priced, servers were attentive. Need to put napkins and silverware out and put a sign up, read more

Re-opened for over a week now. Not taking to go orders? Bad business! Grew up in Mt. Greenwood and two of my Aunts were servers at the original. Just wanted a burger and fries. Guess you won't miss the $15. I won't be returning. read more

The Food was at best edible. The atmosphere and decor, really nice. Very cool. But, the burgers looked and tasted no where near what the picture and my memory defines. The fries were OK according to my 13 & 15 year olds. I agree. 6 dried out wings as an appetizer for $7.00. Nope. Most of the staff only spoke Spanish on one visit. So I gave it another go. Wont be going.back. Save the Nostalgia trip. I wish I had my $70 back. For 2 burgers, 1 hot dog, 1 order of wings, and 3 fries. Sorry!!! Wish I could say better. B.T.W. "Where's The Beef?" read more

First time visiting Wonderburger! I realize you just reopened but waiting 50 minutes for our order ! Charging for a lemonade refill and Arnold Palmer refill REALLY !! Charging extra for the "special" sauce!! Warn your guest about the "extras" REALLY . Not sure I would return ! read more

I was told it would be a 20 to 30 minute wait for a carry out order because it "was so busy". I left. I'll give them some time to get their act together before I go back. read more

This restaurant is a re-opening of the old Wonderburger from back in the day. They were known for their hamburgers and special sauce. I had not been to the original but my husband has. This was only their second day so they need some time to work out the kinks. Even at 1:30 on a weekday there was a wait for lunch. We sat in the bar area which are community tables. That part was awesome. Chatting with neighbors about the old place and neighborhood things was fun. The burgers were good. Very tasty. I would come back. The only burger that comes with the special sauce is the "wonderburger." They also do not list what they can put on a burger so make sure you tell them. The fries need to get better. They are curly but taste rather plain and not cooked. They are mushy. The shakes were not very flavorful. We got a chocolate shake and it wasn't very "chocolate" tasting. The chicken and dumpling soup was too runny and not creamy enough. Also the chicken/ veggies were not cooked enough as they were still hard. The broth was ok but just not as good as I expected. I will come back in a few months to hope they improved. Still no take-out. The burgers were good though. Service was slow but to be expected for day 2. Happy to have them back. read more

I wanted to love this this. The food unfortunately is plain, unseasoned, and not hot. We attempted to eat here twice it was very crowded. Finally went in during lunch the food was not even hot. We order the burger and fries. Fries we not salted and the burger was boring . The decor of the place is beautiful and staff friendly. The food was no different than a hot dog stand . Sorry guys I really wanted to like you. I think a little pricey for burgers & fries. The fries are under cooked and soggy. Two people I think it was $30. It's a pretty restaurant. read more

We were excited that this legendary business was back so we finally went to try it out. We had a young very friendly waitress. Ordered the chili burger. It came in a bowl with a bun on a separate plate. Shame they use canned chili. Expected that to be home made. Curly fries lacked anything special. Should have been cooked longer. I ordered the Wonder Burger with the sauce on the side. Was glad I did that strange sauce tasted like ketchup and sweet pickle. The coleslaw was very good. For this business to come back we do wish them well. They should invest in their signature hamburger and make it special. read more

Had to check it out to see if it brought back memories....but it's better than before. The open dining area with a retractable roof is bright and airy. We sat at the bar and had excellent service. The cheeseburger did not disappoint, and the fries are delicious! Very nice draft beer selection. We will return read more

Tried Wonderburger for the 1st time 3 15th The pattymelt was awesome and still warm when we got it home ( about 5 minutes away) The fries were a big disappointment though they were over done and cold . I will go back for a burger but unless I am eating in I won't get fries again read more

The food is exactly as it was when I was growing up, but the inside is a LOT cleaner and nice! Good, solid burger, great curly fries, and you cannot beat the prices! read more

The food is great come out nice and fresh and the bus boy Michael stays on top of everything with great service.

Had lunch there yesterday with my wife, our 3 year old and our newborn. Great experience, great service and great food. Draft beer could be a little colder, but it was still delicious. We'll be regulars for sure. read more

Classic and superb! Arrived around 12:00 and got seated right away, food arrived about 15 minutes later - fresh & hot. Looking forward to visiting again. read more

This place is extremely understaffed. I feel bad for these poor workers. Food is great tho!

First time here since reopening, loved the atmosphere, very nice beer selection and the best Patty Melt I ever had. American and swiss cheese on it together gave it an incredible taste. Loved the curly fries too. We will definitely be back. read more

A long five year wait, but everything is back to better than normal. Ah the Wonder basket !! read more

Came for lunch and sat at the bar since it was a 20 minute wait for a table. Nice bar area that was very bright on a gloomy day. We waited for at least 5 minutes before someone gave us menus. After we placed our order we just waited and waited and waited!!! After at least 20 minutes I asked our waitress if the food was coming. I mean it was just 2 burgers and fries. She said I don't know why your wait is so long and then came back and said it will be 1 minute. Well at least 5 more minutes and it arrived, yes the food is good but my burger was not just off the grill it felt like it had sitting under a hot light for awhile. At this point I was just done with Wonderburger!! I won't come back, the service is terrible. read more

The food was horrible and so was the service. I ordered a chili cheese burger and they gave me a bowl of chili with a burger floating in it and a bun on the side. We ordered refills on drinks and they came 8 minutes later and we were already done with our food. You had to pay for your refills too. Just not a place I would go again. read more

Miss the old basket deal that included soup fries slaw. The building is done very nicely. Like others stated had to ask for napkins also. Burgers were close to the original but the fries need some work. I'm glad they returned but a bit pricey. read more

Really nice atmosphere! Food is good, reasonable prices. Nice casual place to grab a basic burger or sandwich and fries. Nice bar too. Gluten free bun as option too if needed. We'll be back! read more

Looked forward to the reopening - but was unimpressed. Cold food, French fry crumbs and a lack of attention to service. Won't be returning.

One extra star because I support the local effort as well as its history. That being said, it's not the same burger as it once before. Not the same sauce. If Top Notch was Coca Cola, the new Wonderburger is Diet Pepsi. Great new look, very average burger. Fries underwhelmed and canned cheese sauce product. If that's your thing, you're probably dating Guy Fieri. read more

Was going here every Friday for lunch with my mom. We didn't make it one day and waited until dinner and brought the whole family. We ordered, the waiter came by 20 minutes later and said the kitchen had over looked our order and it would be out soon. We all got burgers and my sister got a chicken sandwich. She was hit with food poisoning that morning. It was baaaaaad. read more

Met a friend for lunch here a couple of days ago. Let me start by saying that they did a beautiful job with the building.. inside is clean and new and actually larger than it looks outside. From what I could see it looked like a full bar.. which is always nice. Now for the food. With all of the hype that surrounds Wonderburger I was expecting something amazing.. maybe it's my fault for going in with such high expectations. My friend and I shared a Wonderburger, fries and a chicken salad. The burger was blah.. the special sauce looked like salsa but I think it was actually mayo with relish. It wasn't juicy at all and it was on a thin Kaiser roll which made it more dry. The chicken salad was nothing to brag about and the fries... ugh, those fries!!! They were greasy tasteless limp little shoelaces!! My toddler wasn't even interested :( I hate writing bad reviews and always try to add something positive, so, the beer was delicious. read more

Came here hungry and left hungry. I also wonder if my wonderburger was actually ground beef or not? You can tell these burgers are not freshly made. If you're going to pride yourself in the burger then do it right. Since the food was still edible, my drink was cold, and the atmosphere was cute, I graciously gave 3 stars. read more

This place used to be the best. It is not the same. Service is terrible and food came cold. Also, the chicken dumpling soup is not good at all anymore. I used to love it. I really wish this place could be better. This is my second time at the new location and I will not be coming back. read more

Wonder burger has a special place in any south sides heart. So, myself like anyone else probably was very happy to hear it was reopening. The inside is very nicely done and the decor is awesome. I have to say tho they definitely have a lot of kinks to work out. Our orders were messed up and the bill didn't come out correct. But that's to expect with any new restaurant. But, the best part about wonderburger- they have a veggie burger (beyond burger) for us vegetarians. It's definitely worth a try! read more

We went there a few times recently, so it is basically the same, just a few tips, the chili wonder was delicious as it was before, but it was served with a large spoon, knife & fork, it's hard to eat chili without a spoon so that should be included without having to ask for a spoon. The fries were almost as delicious as in the past but I think the oil might have been more flavorful before. The fries were definitely not as hot & fresh as they used to be, I think they were made to order in the past. The Wonderburger was just a little off, the raw onions use to be cut thinner making them easier to eat & I believe the buns were toasted a little & after it was all assembled it was steamed in the paper making it hot & delicious! Maybe ask a cook from the past how it was done. Hope this was helpful. We will definitely be back. read more
