Best burger spot in town, hands down! Everything is made fresh — from the buns to the lettuce to the patties. You can really taste the quality. My personal favorite is the Green Line with avocado — absolutely the best! And even though it’s a burger place, their chicken wings are amazing. The waffle fries? Come on… so good! Keep up the great work 👏🔥

This place rocks! I make it a point to stop by everytime I get a chance. The Merkts Chedder burger and Merkts fries are amazing! The people that run the place are some of the nicest people I have met in the Chicago area!
It is a must stop for me when I am in town.
