ChicagoistSeptember 22, 2014Truffles are one of the most prized of all umami giving ingredients. It can be found here in the Truffle Burger, which is topped generously with house-made truffle glaze and truffle cheese. Read more
Luiz EduardoOctober 3, 2014Great service, excellent quality of the ingredients. Recommend the Greenbird (turkey burger and avocado) and sweet potato fries. Or to keep it simple go for the B.U.B. Very decent craft beer selection
Redeye ChicagoDecember 4, 2014Sometimes all you need is a good old fashioned burger and this spot provides some delicious ones. Try the Manly Burger if you've got what it takes. Read more
Sarah WallerDecember 31, 2015Different than your typical burger but good. I love the manly! My friend loves the sunny side too. The maple bacon fries are too sweet. I would get without the sugar.
Elena Jacobs LopezFebruary 13, 2016So delicious, so different, so satisfying! We did the K-bbq, ahi tuna burger, and the throw back! My Oh Henry was awesome. And truffle fries shared. Must try these!
Ale Bustos OrtegaNovember 14, 2015Super good, one of the best burgers ever because it's a different taste, not the typical burger A little bit expensive (14dlrs each) but its worth it.
Andy SwindlerJuly 31, 2016Manly burger, truffle burger, onion rings, good service, good beer. No wait on a Saturday night. What's not to like?
Anamaria HernandezNovember 19, 2015Truffle fries are delicious! Manly burger is amazing with all the fried onions and beer-cheddar cheese.
Josh SciannaOctober 9, 2017This is my favorite burger place in Chicago. Order the fries with the dipping sauce medley, and follow it up with the K-BBQ burger.
Brooke KruegerApril 25, 2015We sat at the bar. Place was packed. Blair at the bar was fantastic, everything she suggested was on point. Amazing service and food
Javier LorenzoApril 7, 2016K-bbq burger is anamazing experience. Truffled beets and fries very good too.
Toni Rene LeslieApril 23, 2015Truffle fries! & they have amazing ice cream sandwiches, I had salted Carmel ice cream in between two snicker doodle cookies.
Jeff EarlyMarch 17, 2016I may come back, the quality of each ingredient is outstanding but it just does not come together, there must be four balanced flavors before you can achieve the fifth. Umami.
Nick CampionNovember 6, 2014Great burgers and fries but misleading on the draft beers which were all 12oz evens basic lager. They should put that on the menu. Really trying to make a profit.
MikeFebruary 17, 2017This place is hot garbage. Burgers are topped with contrasting flavors. Everything is WAY over-salted including the tots and fries. (Just because you add fish sauce to Heinz doesn't make it Umami)
CarolOctober 7, 2014The service was great, but the food was subpar. I really enjoyed the fries but the burger was soggy and really didn't taste great. I got the original umami burger and expected it to be a lot better.
Faithe MasonFebruary 28, 2015Wonderful atmosphere. Amazing ingredients on their burgers. Full bar. Record player with tons of records.
Danny WirtzSeptember 3, 2015Good non meat options for burger place. Good with the kids. You can also drink well here.
Melissa EFebruary 21, 2015The skinny fries are great with the different sauces. The burger with the egg on top was great
Manoj AmbalavananOctober 18, 2020Incredible impossible burger with great truffle flavors and sides. Would go back
Abhishek PillaiJuly 27, 2015Manly burger was not bad. Truffle fries were amazing! Great ambiance and service
Yura LeeOctober 18, 2014Working in industry, I expect good service in return. However, this was not the case. Workers there looked miserable, and was unfriendly. Was clearing my plate wo asking if I was even done. Food meh.
Melissa AuMarch 28, 2015Decent burger (I tried the manly) but for $12 I expected a little more. it won't be a regular spot I frequent.
KariOctober 5, 2014Place wasn't that great. The burgers were super small for the price you pay. The one I got did not taste any different than a regular burger at any other joint. Maybe I just got the wrong 1 this time
Benjamin BurgisFebruary 20, 2016Dylan is the best server I've had since I've been in Chicago!!!! Go see him at Unami!!!
Monika McMahonMay 10, 2021My advice? LEAVE! Go to Small Cheval instead. These burgers never come out as requested, and my last one had bits of plastic in it.
Maike PlotnikApril 17, 2016It's not worth the wait ! Tasteless burgers, cold sides.only good thing is the drinks .. Won't go here again.staff is unfriendly, You can't understand a single word as it's way too noisy in there.👎🏻
James CreganJanuary 2, 2015Definitely one of the most disappointing dining experiences I have had in a while. Service was truly horrible and the burgers and fries were all far below average.- Monika McMahonMay 10, 2021Nothing. Every order comes our wrong. Tots burnt, burgers missing items, plastic in the meals.
