Burger Restaurants near River Grove

“Not slacker employees but I've got to admit the fries were lukewarm that's the worst lukewarm fries! (Jim Gaffigan right lol) I know that's just the moment of one time, one visit, so you can ignore that. The staff is on the move that's refreshing! They actually have employees unlike so many other fast food chains! Lol“

“Food very good and customer service is great“

“Service and food is great. I found the place by accident“

“Choice of veggie hotdog or black bean burger, with lots of veggie toppings. Nice to have a traditional yet vegan Chicago dog. The fries were undercooked.  Nice to have a traditional yet vegan Chicago dog. Updated from previous review on 2026-01-02“

“Been coming here since I was a kid! I moved up north and haven’t been back in years and as God as my witness it tastes like I never left. Thank you for the nostalgia!“

“This place is awesome! From the Beer, food , the blues, the family running it is serious about providing a great experience to all . Best dam burger I’ve had in a while!“

“Ate at Big Sauce and they had some of the best wings I’ve ever eaten. Loved the “original” flavor the most.“

“Stopped here for a quick bite during my road trip and was impressed with the quality of their pizza. One of my favorite slices I tried was the Shawarma pizza. It’s very unique, different and packed with flavor . Def recommend giving them a try.“

“Great food and even better people! Cajun fries are a family favorite! Ryan came to my rescue after a delivery driver made a mistake. He came to the hospital where I was staying with a sick kiddo and delivered my gluten free order himself. True customer service!! :) Will be back!!“

“First , the smoke and aroma comin’ out the roof exhaust pipes . Lol 😛 Known for their hamburgers , dogs , apparently everything else on their menu is good . Being a member of Chicago Italian Beefs fB page , I just HAD to try theirs . 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 !!!“

“The concept for the menu is a unique trip along the Pan-American highway with stops at various Latin countries. Each dish and drink is thoughtful in its ingredients and presentation. The jicama salad was refreshing, but not at all plain. The pastel de choclo was a wonderful surprise of a warm dish. The frozen el arenal was seriously dangerous in how delicious it was, I can’t recommend it enough. The atmosphere was beautiful and the music was perfect. We are so thrilled to have this gem in the neighborhood and can’t wait to see what they do in the future!“

“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. .“

“Food was delicious, wish they would’ve offered a box for the rest of my fries though instead of tossing them. Would like to come back again to try more of their burgers“

“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!!!“

“Food is all homemade ... chilliques are so good with red sauce To die for... The burgers are HUGe.... so delicious.... the fries are like no others and I personally never order fries. So they have to be good.... I did substitute the salad for the fries and was blown away how tasty it was... I mean I'm talking salad right!! Please come visit this beautiful restaurant and tast the real homemade goodness.“

“The Food and the Chicago Cubs memorabilia!“

“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!“

“The Stop a Long did not disappoint. Amazing burgers and fun atmosphere. out server Jack was great. thank you for a great experience“

“I recommend the Vegetable and FuFu“

“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!“

“Made fresh to order. I’ve tried plenty of their menu items and enjoyed everything!“

“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.“

“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 got the combination plate, it was a lot of food and everything was 🔥 they also gave me a scoop of hummus to try which was also good“

“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.“

“Primetime Bar and Grill is an absolute gem. The burger is phenomenal—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection—and the wings are just as impressive, packed with bold flavor and cooked exactly right. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the atmosphere and the people. From the moment you walk in, they treat you like family, making you feel genuinely welcome and appreciated. Great food, great service, and a great vibe all around. Highly recommend Primetime Bar and Grill to anyone looking for an outstanding meal and an even better experience.“

“Great food! fast service for carryout!“

“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.“

“A pleasant neighborhood brewery, bar, and restaurant. We generally order burgers or fish and chips, and enjoy a local beer with our meal. We ordered soft pretzels for our ap, which came with two amazingly good dpping sauces - yum!
Great casual spot.“

“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.“

“Hey my Chicago peeps you all have to go by SMASHBUGER at 4709 west foster and say HI to two of the greatest managers in town Mrs Genesis. And Mrs Dee Dee. For the freshest and I mean the freshest Smashburger this side of town tell them the BIG O SENT YOU ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😎 Guy’s“
