20 Best Burger Restaurants in Champaign

“I cannot say enough good things about Smith Burgers. We have had over half the items on their menu and have never found something we didn't like. My favorite 2 items are the Swiss N Shroom and Bacon Mac Attack Ripper. If you haven't tried them yet, do it. You won't be disappointed.“

“I absolutely LOVE that you give the option for lettuce wraps on your burgers. I had the California Style Double as a lettuce wrap and I'm addicted now, it was SO good!!! Your burgers never disappoint ♡“

“Joshua was a fantastic server. The double frozen strawberry margaritas with salt, truffle fries and cheese curds were terrific. It was my first visit there and I look forward to going back. Our party of 7 had a blast.“

“I was there after what I assume is the busy time, so I had the dining room to myself. There was a steady stream of folks in the drive thru though. The "Deluxe Single Basket" was more than enough to fill me up. I had to buy a take-home pint, too full for dessert. The staff were friendly and at least one was always cleaning something.“

“Food was good, although messy. Friendly and fast service!“

“always cook how you asked them to be.“

“The food is delicious and the atmosphere is nice 😍“

“service was great! the staff friendly and helpful. The manager very welcoming and delightful. The place was very clean and nice. Food Bomb!! The Burger was cooked to Perfection! Juicy and absolutely delicious! Fries crispy and they make their own Ranch which is thick and creamy and tasty Price is high for Burgers but you gotta pay for quality. Overall great dining experience!“

“I know it sounds ridiculous, but it was worth the drive to make it to this location , I found out so much history to this Radical Illinois College Town and the railraod is amazing , there is a grab bag here, for those thirsty rail fanners . Fascinating history about famous actors and actresses that came here and involvements in Step N Wolf , I will be coming back because from where I come from I miss that taste so bad and was it so delicious I could seriously scarf down a Steak Burger in 110 percent delight whilst watching a train go by , a neat train ! A grab bag“

“Do not go through the drive through here! It's horrible! We eat here a lot inside but the drive through is horrible. Ex: today attempted it and there was only 1 car in line ordering. I guess they didn't know what they wanted at first so they took a really long time to figure out what they wanted. Then they pulled up and we are right behind them. I kid you not we waited about 20 minutes behind this 1 car! so I called the store letting them know they need to get this drive through going cuz there's a huge line behind us now. They could have easily had this car pull to the side in order to service the other vehicles. Well some one eventually came out to put up the other cars orders. It's just ridiculous really. Please get a better system going for the drive through. Food and inside service is great!“

“Food and service are the best“

“The ladies working the drive thru are amazing!“

“During our travels, we'll normally stop for a quick meal the impossible burger. During covid, Burger Kings were understaffed and not we'll cared for. One incident at a drive up, we were told the two employees were going on break. If we wanted to wait, they could service us in 20 minutes. Unfortunately, we couldn't. There's a reason it's called fast food. So we drove across town to another Burger King, where we were promptly served. Of course it affected our travel plans. In the last year, though, the stores we patronized had more staff and were much cleaner. Hope this continues?

Vegetarian options: They only have the impossible whooper.“

“i get the chicago style hot dog which is hard to come by downstate.“

“Very nice staff. Very helpful!“

“I went here with low expectations I've had bad experiences at several other five guys this one couldn't have been better food came out fast was good and everything was correct the staff was extremely nice and friendly definitely recommend this place.“

“Great food, great music, great owner, great staff, great bartenders. I love this place and I had some of my best memories here. I think the owner is a very nice and smart guy and that’s one of the reasons why this place has it all. If you wanna party, they have a huge space in the back with big mirrors (if anyone claims to have a dance bar and they don’t have mirrors there, they don’t know the business at all) and great DJs and light and music. OMG I’ve been to some of the fanciest bars in California but none of them can beat my experience from Joe’s. Totally worth the time (to stay in the line) and money (cover fee and drinks).“

“They mcflurry need more topping!“

“Thanks to the lady there I think she was the supervisor for noon today my handicap brother was short of money on his order she helped him and she put money on his order I went to pay her back she said not to worry about it I want to say thank you again your awesome and I think you deserve a a day off with pay“

“Easily the best bar food in Champaign, service is always ten times better than you'd expect for the area. Not so much of a cocktail selection, but if you're looking for a solid spot for sports and drinks, you're missing out if you aren't here. Make sure to check out their drink deals!“
