I’d say 4.5 stars! Was a great wholesome bar. I feel like a lot of people stop by here on their way to go see a Chicago Bulls game. And I was no exception. We walked in and it was busy busy. Lots of people all around family style dining tables where people just sat in open seats. The bar was friendly. Drinks were reasonably priced. Although the didn’t try any of the food seemed like a lot of people where enjoying themselves with the burgers hot dogs and fries. Bathrooms were clean and have multiple stalls. Overall a great stop for us right before we headed to the arena for the game. It’s also family friendly. Saw lots of kids playing at the arcade games along the back wall and eating with their families. Had a fun time and would definitely go back!

Parking: We didn’t park as we covered in but there was a small parking lot adjacent to the building.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly. Lots of families were eating and kids we playing on the arcade games along the wall.

Unbeatable burger with unbeatable price within walking distance of United Centre.

Burgers are pre prepared ready for order so no waiting around.

Can't fault it!

We decided to go here cause it had great reviews, and it was walking distance to and from the United Center. We were going to see Fluffy (Great Show) by the way 👍🏿👍🏿... It is fast food literally it reminded of the movie "THE FOUNDER" because of how quick the food was being ordered and cooked. This is a good place to for a meet up or a quick lunch break, but other than that 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️... My burger was ok could of been much better, double cheese burger was where it was at for me.

You know, I genuinely love this place and the entire real Chicagoan point behind all of them. Chicago wouldn’t be the same without them.
BUT 6 bucks for an Old Style is egregiously bad!! Jesus wept.
Too pricey for what it’s meant to be ($15.50+ for a burger and fries) but I hope it doesn’t change all the same. Just eeesh the pockets…

The hamburgers are frozen patties that are mostly fat. They shrink to kid size and taste like cardboard. McDonalds would have been a better choice.
