50 Best Burger Restaurants near Northlake

“Sooo good. Served quickly and fresh liked it wet but bun not falling all apart, perfect!“

“So I go inside to get a chance to stretch my legs and pick up my online order that had been placed 5 minutes prior. I'm inside and show the CSR my mobile order confirmation. She looks like a deer lost in the headlights. She runs to the rear and drops a order of onion rings in the grease. A few minutes later I have my order in the bag and in my hand and walking out the door. I resume my driving only a mile away only to discover the onion rings are half cooked. I was too far away to return. I hope the establishment will take better precautions, what if this was a beef burger, or a chicken breast, etc. Accuracy is far better than efficiency.“

“If you're looking for a bite on lunch from work - especially if you're in the trades - this is the spot. Reasonable prices. 10/10 on-the-nose chicago style food. 10/10 service.10/10 speed. Not busy, came in at noon. No frills, nothing fancy. Great food, great prices, great service. Hidden gem for sure. OH and the fries are great“

Huge thanks to Mohsin for making it — you could tell he put real effort into it. Honestly one of the best steak sandwiches I’ve ever had. Definitely coming back for more! 🍔🔥“

“I’ve been coming to this place since it was Billy’s, still continue coming and I frequent more now actually, the place has been remodeled, clean, the owner is extremely friendly as well as the whole entire staff. You get a friendly welcome everytime you come in, now let’s get to the food! Always a 10/10 food is ALWAYS fresh, hot and full of flavor, a gyro under 15 bucks with a salad? You can’t beat that in this economy, a great variety of food from American to Greek.“

Pretty darn good ! 9.0/10 Sweet n hot , dipped , nice crinkly fries 🍟 comin’ for da ride , and a tamale 🫔 to wash it down . Nice job guys at the PP in Des Plaines !!!“

“really good burger, and so fun seeing the train! this place is as classic as it gets, seemingly unchanged since it's opened. it's kinda small in there, so my adult bf and I ate quickly to free up room for actual families with kids 😆 but definitely recommend if you just love burgers and trains, plus it's in a cute walkable downtown area with free parking“

“I come here one to two times a month and it never disappoints. My go-to is the merkts cheddar burger which I think is the best burger in the area. The staff is always super friendly and the restaurant is clean. I highly recommend Blaze N Grill. Everything on the menu is freshly made and delicious. .“

“I had to try it today before going back to FL delicious 😋.“

“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 👏🔥“

“5 stars for HECTOR in Western Springs!!! Hands down this was the absolute best dining experience I’ve ever had! While the food was delicious and the overall ambiance and decor of the restaurant was cozy, it was our server that made this dining experience over the top, great! HECTOR, you are a gem, a diamond! You have an absolutely charming personality and made my mother in law’s birthday dinner an experience to remember! From your spot on suggestions, to your lovely rendition of “Happy Birthday”, to the funny banter, our whole family left talking about how wonderful you were! We will be back and we will be sure to come when you are serving! Thank you Hector!!!“

“This happened to be the closest food place next to the vets office. We really enjoyed it. Food, games, seating, and even the music. We watched some Friends, had a milkshake, good fries and burgers. Zane was fun and helpful with our order.“

“🔥 Highly Recommended! Flame On Peri Peri is hands down one of the best spots for flavorful, juicy peri peri chicken! The spice levels are just right, the portions are generous, and the service is fast and friendly. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or dining with family, this place never disappoints. Don’t miss the loaded fries and their signature sauces — 10/10!“

“Get the burger. Never had a bad one.“

“I like to say “good food makes a soul happy”. When I'm having a tough day, nothing satisfies like good food. I ordered a double smashburger through Uber Eats, and it arrived warm with crispy fries. Everything was packed neatly, which made me excited to dig in. The burger was fantastic!! soft, perfectly seasoned, and the smash sauce was great! Unlike other places that over-salt their burgers, this one was spot on. I’ve found my new go-to spot. The fries were also a good portion. I’ll definitely order from there again, as long as they keep the seasoning consistent bc too much salt can ruin a meal!“

“I recommend the Vegetable and FuFu“

“Great food. Simple menu very well executed.“

“We had the best lunch. Our food was tasty and hot, not to mention generously delicious. No wait, great help. Open kitchen. I hope they open one further southwest.“

“stopped in from the rain and grabbed a mini beef and fries...7.95...great price. beef sandwich is exactly what you want from a local beef joint. great casual service. Sox game on....(rain delay lol) I just got into town from Florida and after you leave midway it's about a 15 minute drive...awesome location in a great area! 👍 👌 Thanks for the great experience Beefys!“

“1st time trying this place in Des Plaines and I must say that the bumper fries, bumper chicago style hotdog, chicken tenders with the honey mustard sauce which was great paired together and the bumper burger was all amazing 😋 👌 Definitely a must try🙌 I also like that it's all Halal meat so it's never frozen always fresh ❤️“

“Astonishing that it's still around. I was 10 when it opened in 1948 and to get a double decker at HH was close to heaven. Across the street was Prince Castle, long gone, where you could get a slider for much less money. HH was a splurge and it's wonderful to see it live today.“

“Amazing, you got to try this place.“

“Really nice place for real good food. My family and I stopped in after a trip into town for an escape room. We had the foghorn chicken sandwich, burger, mashed pot and gravy, tenders, nuggets, and fries. The burger and mashed we're recommended by staff and were terrific.
Everything was delicious, hot, and fresh. Recommend if you're looking for awesome food at a great price too.“

“Amazing food! Delicious drinks! Beautiful views. Fantastic staff! Highly recommend!!“

“i retract my previous statement. please remove negative comment. thank you,“

“I dont know how this place doesn't have 5 stars. The food was fresh and amazing. I got their signature Kick'n Burger which was juicy and the meat was tender and the ingredients were fresh. I also ordered their mozzarella sticks and fries which were fresh, crispy and delicious. Would definitely recommend and would go again in the future.“

“Good food and great atmosphere“

“I would like to say this place is 💯 approved and approved by HAFSA

But unfortunately with the food itself it was very mid. (See reviews on bottom)

We got 2 sliders each (1 beef and 1 chicken) and the portions were very small compared to what was expected.

Review:
Beef slider 6.2/10
Chicken slider (spicy and juicy) 7.3/10“

“I've been a regular at the Country House for years now, and I have to say, their burgers are my absolute favorite! They're simply delicious. And you can't go wrong with their onion rings either. I also really enjoy having the roasted veggies as a side dish instead of fries, especially when the weather is nice. And of course, the cheese curd appetizer is always a great option.“

“This is my first time at this restaurant, and I was told it's good. So far, the Chicken Tender Lunch Special I ordered is great.“

“It has a very simple menu that packs a lot of flavor to the meal... Mmmmmmmm😋👍🏼 This was our first time, but not to be our last. We traveled about 1 hour and 40 minutes to discover I want this in my life. The buns were so good, & that cheese sauce...Mmmmmm😋👍🏼“
