50 Best Burger Restaurants near Berkeley

“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.“

“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!!!“

“love the one in Carol stream great place great food friendly people plenty of parking easy to get in and out“

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

“Honestly one of the best airport fast food experiences I’ve ever had. Prices were okay, menu is large, everything is made to order, staff were friendly and seemed to be having a good time. Short line, food was ready about 10 min after I ordered at the kiosk. Kiosk allows for customization. As I was leaving one of the workers asked if I wanted a free order of onion rings since they made some that didn’t get picked up. So rings, dog, and drink for about $15? Hard to get that kind of deal at the airport!“

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

“Good food and great atmosphere“

“Placed a larger to go order and got busy at work and couldn’t leave right away to pick up food. After 40 minutes I arrived and was expecting cold soggy food . Instead they’re remade the food for me fresh and hot . Wow what an Amazing gesture . Drive thru girls are also always so polite and helpful. Amazing job and thank you“

“I had to try it today before going back to FL delicious 😋.“

“🔥 Highly Recommended! Flame On Peri Peri is hands down one of the best spots for flavorful, juicy peri peri chicken! The spice levels are just right, the portions are generous, and the service is fast and friendly. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or dining with family, this place never disappoints. Don’t miss the loaded fries and their signature sauces — 10/10!“

“Amazing, you got to try this place.“

“Mohammad at Burger Factory was amazing! He was very friendly, respectful, and made sure everything was taken care of. The service was quick, and he made the whole experience even better. Definitely deserves recognition for his great customer service. Highly recommend!“

“My girlfriend and I found this place 5 days ago and decided to come back for lunch. We really enjoyed the onion soup, onion rings and steak sandwich, and chili. Lynn was very friendly and shared some interesting ghost stories and the story about the 1961 plane crash in the cornfield. The food, service, and atmosphere were all great. It feels like visiting an old family place, and it’s definitely worth the drive! No-wait at all!“

“We had the best lunch. Our food was tasty and hot, not to mention generously delicious. No wait, great help. Open kitchen. I hope they open one further southwest.“

“stopped in from the rain and grabbed a mini beef and fries...7.95...great price. beef sandwich is exactly what you want from a local beef joint. great casual service. 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!“

“Tried this wonderful place for the first time today. The Italian beef is made in small batches in house and has that unique “made by grandma” flavor and savory character. The bread is @Turano so you can’t go wrong. The nice people at the counter are extra caring and friendly. Fries are crinkle and crispy.“

“Great food and even better people! Cajun fries are a family favorite! Ryan came to my rescue after a delivery driver made a mistake. He came to the hospital where I was staying with a sick kiddo and delivered my gluten free order himself. True customer service!! :) Will be back!!“

“We had a great experience at Bumper 2 Burger in Bridgeview! The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. It’s always nice to be greeted with kindness and great customer service. We appreciate the hospitality and look forward to coming back!“

“Erin was our server and was awesome. The chicken sandwich I had was amazing. The Mexican corn side was also amazing. My father had a burger which was huge and he said delicious. I will definitely come back again.“

“Great neighborhood locations. Definitely a favorite for sports teams and celebrations like first day of school. Good selection of premade frozen treats and cakes as well. Even if there is a line out the door (and there usually is) service is fast and friendly. Great ice cream And generous portions“

“We dined at Hillgrove Tap for a Moms day out event today. They were fantastic handling our group. Service was excellent. Food was fantastic. And they were so organized. Marc was one of the people who helped make our lunch so enjoyable, thank you Marc and team! We do not live in this town but will be bringing my family back soon! Thanks for the great experience!“

“the wings were so good absolutely delicious food and nice staff , good for hangouts and good beer“

“Buen ambiente y buen servicio.“

“I just recently started going there since last year. No negative reviews here. Every single experience has been great alongside with the food. When it’s your birthday, the staff sings to you. You pay what you get and it’s worth every penny. Keep up the great work Alexander’s!! As busy as it gets: even when people are standing room only: it goes by quickly and the staff greets you with their kindness and smiles.“

“Great food! Great people! Forget Raising Canes, Chubbies is better in every way. Location is great on a beautiful “Main Street” America type setting. Amazing chicken sandwiches and tenders with generous portions and great prices“

“If you want fancy tables/decor/atmos...go elsewhere. If you want perfectly cooked/seasoned/proportioned (meat to bun to toppings) burgers that righteously slap, come here. (Fyi...I ordered the cheeseburger and 1 slider(absolutely sufficient for smaller appetites)). 😋“

“Food exceeded my expectations! Best chicken sandwich I ever had!“

“Am recommending shan a han's food and spirit to everyone in the world amazing platform!“

“Amazing food! Delicious drinks! Beautiful views. Fantastic staff! Highly recommend!!“

“Food was great! I ordered the 20pc meal deal traditional wings with cajun fries for 2-3 ppl + a side of mac&cheese. Buffalo lemon pepper and sweet chili were delicious! Really great wing spot. Just very bummed that I did not receive my mac&cheese in my order…would’ve loved to try it and didn’t think I’d have to double check to make sure I got all that I ordered :/ Only reason I didn’t give this place 5 stars..“

“Another great lunch!
Usually i get the burger no cheese, definitely a good choice. Today i opted for the Italian beef (made in house) wow! So good. Got it slightly dipped so it still held together.
Flavors were delicious. Fries cruspy and fresh as always.“

“The food is so incredible even the ribs! Staff are very kind and Wood Dale is a great city! Prices are also reasonable.“

“The staff here really works so hard we didn’t know it was National cheeseburger day and when we got there, it was pretty slow, but it got slammed and they did such an amazing job. We really appreciate having Smashburger in our neighborhood.“

“Okay, my friend and I were in Elmwood Park and she was craving a burger. Quick Google search revealed Burger Moovement. We had no idea what to expect. Wow! We were very pleasantly surprised by how good the burger and the chicken sandwich were. DELICIOUS!!! The restaurant is clean. The staff are friendly and professional. Everything is fresh. It was the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. And they easily accommodated my request to customize my sandwich. We will be going back. Oh, and the thin fries were fabulous. You should check them out.“

“I recently tried the Chicken Chicago Shawarma at Krasa Craft Restaurant on Ashland Ave, and it completely blew me away. The chicken was juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the Ukrainian mayonnaise-based garlic sauce adds a rich, creamy flavor that makes this shawarma stand out from anything else in Chicago. The honey mustard, cheddar cheese, fresh tomatoes, pickles, and cabbage create the perfect balance of flavors and textures. Definitely one of the best shawarmas I’ve had!“

“I recommend the Vegetable and FuFu“

“Great food. Simple menu very well executed.“

“This used to be our absolute favorite spot. My friends and I would come here several times a week, and we loved the familiar faces on the staff. Sadly, things have drastically changed for the worse. ​We noticed the staff began turning over constantly, and after speaking with some of the remaining employees, we found out why: the owner is reportedly keeping 40% of the servers' tips. Under Illinois law, tips belong entirely to the staff, and an owner taking a cut is entirely illegal. ​It breaks our heart to walk away from a place we loved, but our group has decided to take our business to other local spots that actually respect and support their employees. We won't be back until management corrects this and treats their staff fairly.“

“I like going to Culver's Lyons, IL location with my SEASPAR Eagles Brookfield site group. Their burgers and fries are delicious. They are very friendly and kind staff too.“
