We went at 7pm on a Friday night. Plenty of tables available, yet still seemed understaffed. I watched lots of people stand at the front door waiting a full three or four minutes to be seated, and the bar was taking ten minutes for our drinks each time. Need to hire some more people! Food was OK. They were out of the two fries I wanted which was half the point of going.

We had a reservation. There were very few tables filled with people. We waited for 10 minutes for someone to acknowledge us and then seat us. There were dirty glasses all over the bar. We did not get good service. It just seemed very poorly run.

a great place to sit down with friends and enjoy burgers, shakes, and loaded truffle fries dipped in truffle butter.

This place is a great spot to get some awesome twists on an American classic! I really love the variety of burgers that they have and the full bar was a nice surprise as well.

I went to DMK Burger Bar for the first time recently and everything was delicious!
They have a full bar and their drinks are great and the beer selection was spot on.
This is great for a group dining option since they have generous sized shareable dishes that are also amazing! Service was fast.
I definitely will be back! the Brussels sprouts were my favorite!

Very cool! Clean, good seating. Saw the Billy Joel / Stevie Nicks concert!!

The food was AMAZING, service was ok, ambience sparse, noise level high. Go for the food! Will not disappoint.

Trying grass fed beef burger for the first time and it was so good! Went on a Friday evening and it was full house. I went on a rainy night so wasn't expecting it to be so busy, but loved the ambiance for a Friday evening. Despite how packed it was, service was great and food didn't take long.
Here's what we ordered:
-sunrise burger: perfect combination of jalapeño, runny egg, and bacon. It was so delicious.
-big DMK: my dining mate who typically order medium rare (not sure if he did this time) said it was a bit dry. Would opt for a single patty next time
-fries: Parmesan cheese & truffle cream. Need I say more? It was addicting with the burger. The cream dip made it fun to eat fries and I couldn't stop going for it.
-wings & drums: blueberry bbq & buffalo. Honestly, the color of blueberry bbq was intimidating but once I got past the colors, it was sweet bbq and was tasty. I preferred blueberry bbq over buffalo, but I liked the onion strings that came with it.
-Brussels sprouts: I always order Brussels sprouts whenever I can and this was crispy, yet sweet. Some places make it soggy and I hate it but this was warm in the center, crispy on the outside. It was a perfect mix w bacon, cheese, and glaze. One of my favorite.
Drinks:
-hibiscus refresher: so pretty in color. Not to sweet. I liked the touch of tea and lemon flavor, that wasn't too strong in tea flavor
Buzzin: I like gin so I ordered. Not as sweet as hibiscus drink but it was a good one to finish off my meal.

Their burgers were by far one of the best burgers I've had in Chicago. Not to mention their Bachelorette night was so cute. I'll definitely be coming back!

Great food and service was excellent. We had a bison burger and chrispy chicken sandwich. Bison burger was excellent and chicken sandwich was huge and very tasty. We will definitely go back.
Absolutely delicious experience! The 'Put a Ring on It' burger was a standout, with juicy grass-fed beef, creamy avocado, and a crispy onion ring adding a delightful crunch. Their chicken tenders were perfectly crispy yet tender, and the variety of dipping sauces was a nice touch. Don't skip the sweet potato fries with lemon Tabasco aioli – they're a must-try! And the hand-dipped shakes, with real chunks of red velvet cake, were creamy and rich. A definite highlight. 5 stars!

Just wasn't a great experience - servers were not very attentive and the restaurant wasn't full. I've had great experiences at DMK before and this one just was not up to par. Looking forward to it being better service next time.

The walking beer vendors' beer is actually a little cheaper than where you gotta wait in line

Good location for lunch. It would be helpful to have more than one person managing the bar patrons and those in the regular dining area.
