50 Best Burger Restaurants near Berkeley

“New management. The fries are now fresh cut instead of crinkled. I ordered a double cheese burger. It was delicious and huge. I actually had to eat it with a knife and fork. You are now advised, chili was good but very SPICY. Tamale is the normal american kind. Very happy with my take out.“

“This McDonald's has become my go-to in the area, and for good reason! While no place is perfect, the very few mistakes I've encountered here over numerous visits have been corrected quickly and with a smile. That's a testament to their truly kind and efficient staff.
Their positive attitude is infectious; it's easy to be kind in return when you're met with such consistently good vibes. It makes the whole experience, whether I'm using the drive-thru or opting for curbside pickup, genuinely pleasant.
The food is reliably good, hitting that classic McDonald's spot every time. Coupled with the great employees, it’s a winning combination that sets this location apart. I can't speak to the interior since I haven't been inside, but the exterior is always kept impressively clean, which I appreciate. If you're looking for a dependable and friendly McDonald's experience, I highly recommend this particular restaurant. They definitely know how to treat their customers right.“

“excellent food and service! great vegetarian and vegan selection as well“

“Passing through ORD, of course I'm going to get a Chicago dog. But even the best laid plans get sidetracked!

There are terminals you can order from, and while I was putting in my order, a staffer suggested their Maxwell Street hot dog (prepped by the amazing Oumar) - their only grilled offering! - and I couldn't resist. She was friendly and I went along with it.

Worth a visit if you're craving a hot dog and have a layover.

“Burger and fries were great. Boba master makes awesome boba!“

“I took my two boys here for dinner and food was excellent!!! I felt that we got plenty of food for the price, especially when the boys got ice cream shakes. We wanted to try the funnel cake and they ended up not making us pay(which was around $15). They said it was on them, nothing wrong with it, they just wanted to do it for my boys. I haven’t had a place do this for me for a while, especially since times are hard for businesses these days. I would highly recommend this place.“

“5 stars for HECTOR in Western Springs!!! Hands down this was the absolute best dining experience I’ve ever had! While the food was delicious and the overall ambiance and decor of the restaurant was cozy, it was our server that made this dining experience over the top, great! HECTOR, you are a gem, a diamond! You have an absolutely charming personality and made my mother in law’s birthday dinner an experience to remember! From your spot on suggestions, to your lovely rendition of “Happy Birthday”, to the funny banter, our whole family left talking about how wonderful you were! We will be back and we will be sure to come when you are serving! Thank you Hector!!!“

Sox game on....(rain delay lol) I just got into town from Florida and after you leave midway it's about a 15 minute drive...awesome location in a great area! 👍 👌 Thanks for the great experience Beefys!“

“1st time trying this place in Des Plaines and I must say that the bumper fries, bumper chicago style hotdog, chicken tenders with the honey mustard sauce which was great paired together and the bumper burger was all amazing 😋 👌 Definitely a must try🙌 I also like that it's all Halal meat so it's never frozen always fresh ❤️“

“Astonishing that it's still around. I was 10 when it opened in 1948 and to get a double decker at HH was close to heaven. Across the street was Prince Castle, long gone, where you could get a slider for much less money. HH was a splurge and it's wonderful to see it live today.“

“Amazing, you got to try this place.“

“Really nice place for real good food. My family and I stopped in after a trip into town for an escape room. We had the foghorn chicken sandwich, burger, mashed pot and gravy, tenders, nuggets, and fries. The burger and mashed we're recommended by staff and were terrific.
Everything was delicious, hot, and fresh. Recommend if you're looking for awesome food at a great price too.“

“i retract my previous statement. please remove negative comment. thank you,“

“Ordered the double cheeseburger and was impressed right away by the portion—generous patties, plenty of cheese, and a solid spread of Centro’s special sauce. The patty was juicy and flavorful, especially after asking for less salt (worth doing). Soft, slightly sweet potato bun, crisp fresh lettuce, and everything came together cleanly.

You can watch the cooks make it through the open window, which adds to the experience. Overall, a really solid burger and easily the best I’ve had in Lombard so far. Definitely recommended if you’re in the area and craving a good burger.“

“Good food and great atmosphere“

“Fast and delicious as always 💯“

“I've been a regular at the Country House for years now, and I have to say, their burgers are my absolute favorite! They're simply delicious. And you can't go wrong with their onion rings either. I also really enjoy having the roasted veggies as a side dish instead of fries, especially when the weather is nice. And of course, the cheese curd appetizer is always a great option.“

“Food is fantastic with great portions. Get you some good food here.“

“The place is spotless, the burgers are consistently excellent with fresh ingredients, and the fries are always hot and made to order. You can tell the team takes pride in their work, and that starts at the top. The manager here is a 10, she’s warm, professional, and keeps everything running like clockwork.… if you’re reading this, dreamy Latina in the pink top, you know who you are. I don’t know if you’re single, but I think I might be catching feelings. Give me a shot? Por favorsito 🙏“
