JT's Special Burger is a true delight for burger enthusiasts. Featuring two griddled certified angus beef patties topped with caramelized onions, cheddar cheese, granny smith apple, applewood smoked bacon, and dijonaise, all nestled between a buttery bun, this burger is a flavor explosion. The addition of granny smith apple offers a surprisingly pleasant texture, and its tartness beautifully complements the smokiness of the bacon. Without a doubt, JT's serves up one of the best burgers in Chicago, making it a must-visit for burger aficionados.

J.T.’s breaded pork loin sandwich is really good. The french fries were very good as well. Great little spot and I’m looking forward to returning and trying one of the other sandwiches.

Things Better

Really good, super friendly staff, generous portions. This was my first time here but will definitely be back. Easy street parking. My only regret is not bringing my kids so Id have 2 more dishes to sample. Pork tenderloinan and beans & greens sandwiches DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Perfect fries with house aioli to match.Vegetarian options: Several veggie focused itemsKid-friendliness: Kids menu

I wanted to try someplace new and had a taste for a chicken sandwich. I got mine to go. Took my sandwich home and could not believe how good the chicken was. I also got the minestrone soup. I love vegetables and prefer them to have a little snap when used in cooking I was not disappointed with their soup. Best minestrone I have ever had. I can’t wait to go back

And be careful with this place you got to wonder what's in their mayonnaise also he may have feces on the fingers the lbgt people like to digitally insert their fingers when they don't belong there may be feces under their fingernails this is a stunning and brave lbgt establishment I included a picture for those of you who are thinking about ordering from here as you can see depicted in front they have a map flag if you don't know what that means it means a minor attracted person in other words an adult person that likes to do improper things to underage people

Listen, this place is a hidden Gem. Took a chance and tried it, as it is new to me... I absolutely love the food. Had a chicken sandwich and thr beer battered fries. The sandwiches are seasoned perfectly and sizeable. The fries are crispy and seasoned well, and the fry dip matches the taste profile well. Will definitely be patronizing them more often!! Well done JT!!!!!

Amazing local sandwich lunch spot. Fries are delicious don't forget to save room for their homeade cookie ice cream sandwich! My husband had the fried chicken and really liked it. I had the burger - very messy- but delicious. We'll go beck again for sure.

My husband and I have tried almost every sandwich on the menu and we've never had a bad sandwich. The owner also seems like a class act -- very involved in neighborhood philanthropy! Eat local! ?
