Kuma's waiting room. ...But actually just as good as endlessly overrated Kuma's. Great burgers, delicious chili, cheap bourbon, and great beers. Rad specials and excellent vegetarian options.
Shannon FitzgeraldJanuary 27, 2013Bar seating was pleasant and comfortable with plenty of space to eat a meal without mashing elbows with your neighbor. I would recommend the Kobe surf and turf burger. Great beer selection!!
Victor PassarellaDecember 29, 2011Best Burger, the bacon has a great maple flavor. The sweet potatoe fries have a hint of cinnamon. A must have. Service rocks and is quick. Kuma ain't got a prayer, square is way better.
American dream is fantastic! A great place to catch a Blackhawks game (nachos are great for games) and the range of beer is awesome
I don't know what Penny S is talking about. I've been here hundreds of times, TV's aren't obstructed, food is better than Kuma's without the wait, great beer list and reasonable prices!
carl MichaelJune 18, 2015Great specials. Friendly and comfortable especially compared to the Zooma across the street. Hard to get on their internet, though.
I don't like burgers but the kobe, proscuitto, brie & lobster burger's the best I've ever had. Great chips, sweet pot fries, grilled ginger teriaki chk skewer's-fab! I'm coming back!
ChristyOctober 2, 2011Tried pulled pork and it was decent - don't even try to eat with your hands, use a fork. Sweet potato fries good, guys I was with got the square and volcano burgers, both of which they loved.
Jon StoutDecember 31, 2010If Kuma's is too busy, Square is an excellent alternative. The Big Square is a tasty burger and the beer selection is excellent.
Just eat here instead of Kumas. In all honesty Square Bar is better than Kumas. The wait is shorter, the burgers are as good, and they have Strongbow.- The Kobe Surf N Turf is awesome as is the Grilled Skewers. Sweet potato fries rock as do the chips. Excellent food!!!
Michael VoglSeptember 1, 2013Burgers rival Kuma's across the street. Tuna was fabulous. This is our new "go to" place.
Michael LucasJanuary 24, 2013Want an 8oz Kobe beef burger topped with brie and a 4oz lobster tail for only $13? You can get that here.
Jesus GFebruary 25, 2012Wow. This is really good. Nachos are amazing. Great service and great music. I definitely recommend this place
Great relaxed atmostphere with amazing art,full bar and eclectic music....tastey food also. New favorite
Penny SSeptember 16, 2011Obstructed views at the bar, the televisions aren't huge but there's usually one in view. Good beer list, good food, kinda pricey.
Dorian GraduJuly 27, 2013Three Floyds Gumball Head draft and a Volcano burger is the only thing u need to order!
Great irish car bombs! Tara is the best! So is Marina! :)
Mr IzzoneNovember 6, 2011One on the best bloody marys in Chicago! Not to mention they are bottomless on sundays for $10!
nachos and burgers are great, also enjoy the tilipa sandwich. this place doesn't need kumas to be a great night out.
Jared KingApril 10, 2010The fried Snickers is crazy good. My heart doctor would be pissed if she knew I lived this close to greatness
- Try the Big Square with sweet potato fries and a Matilda in draft.
Penny PincherAugust 13, 2012Don't order the American Dream if you're lactose intolerant! Just sayin'.
Leah NicoleAugust 10, 2011The waitress was awesome. Eff kumas they so aren't worth it just come here!
