50 Best Burger Restaurants near Stickney

“I just recently started going there since last year. No negative reviews here. Every single experience has been great alongside with the food. When it’s your birthday, the staff sings to you. You pay what you get and it’s worth every penny. Keep up the great work Alexander’s!! As busy as it gets: even when people are standing room only: it goes by quickly and the staff greets you with their kindness and smiles.“

“Food very good and customer service is great“

“Great service. Perfect for an easy dinner on their patio.“

“Hands down, got to be one of the best burgers locally. The joint is right by Tree House Records and I finally stopped by. Definitely recommend the Charly’s Fries. This is loaded!“

“The quarter lb. chubby Vienna dog done on the grill is great, the fries are great and the service is great. My second experience and they are above par. So worth the vist. A quaint place with charm and good food.“

“Although I hear they have good smashburgers had a taste for wings. It's rare to find places that will give you the whole wing. Only downside, I wish they were a little bigger and on the online menu it pictured it came with coleslaw. It did come with fries that were nice and crispy. Overall, the meal was good and hot by the time I made it back home.“

“excellent food and service! great vegetarian and vegan selection as well“

“💯 it’s the best place I recommended“

“Had a large group of 8 and everything was absolutely delicious!!! First time there and we will definitely be back. Get the horchata slushy!“

“Дуже атмосферно, багато зелені, наче відпочинок на природі, а не в центрі мегаполісу. Чудова кухня, найсмачніші бургери та шаурма . Персонал привітний, багато молоді! Щира рекомендація 🫶🏻“

“Red Hot Ranch
Holy Mecca of Hood Burgers


I ate here drunk so IDK how accurate it is, but this is beyond a solid cheap burger spot. It’s the usual fair of cheap buns and meat with uninteresting accoutrements but the execution is spot on, bringing it on par with burger shops double or triple the price range flavor wise. The free inclusion of fries is a whole hearted indicator of the kind of experience you’ll have, but even in its utter simplistic lack of elegance (the potatoes are barely even soaked), these are weaponized for the better (the fries are crisp succulent starch bombs) elevates it from schlock to dam good eating. Even the out of the box cod sandwich is hilariously divine. And the price, again, the price is absurd for the flavor.


It’s the kind of place that only takes cash and has an ATM in the corner. It’s the usual order up and grab and go. Place is decently clean if mayhaps a little unorderly.

Atmosphere 4/5:
Like a vivid memory of a hot dog shop, in all its glory and antiquated ways. I am a heart throb for a spot that had no frills about the kind of place that it is but YMMV depending on if you want to stay for a while.

Final
Recommend almost all items and going a bit out of your way for a visit.

It’s a no frills well executed cheap burger spot in Southport, it kinda blows my mind how much I liked this vs Lucy’s. It’s right next to the equally beloved Schubas bar so go there afterwards to enjoy a beer and a show.
Not much to say, but that’s the point with Red Hot Ranch, it needs not much.“

“I’ve been having a major cheese fry craving lately so I decided to stop by Redhot’s to satisfy my taste buds. I ordered some cheddar fries and they were slamming, I wish I bought two.

My gf got the double cheese burger and she loved it!

One thing to keep in mind is that they are cash only but the prices are super reasonable and well worth it. I can’t wait to come to back, because there’s nothing like supporting local businesses with great food.“

“Everything was amazing! So happy we picked this spot for lunch!“

“If you are looking for a good burger, this is your place! The food and staff are incredible, highly recommend!!!“

“The best food !!!Thank you guy.“

“Ended up at Don’s Grill for lunch on a random Tuesday and man, it hit different. Got the chopped steak & eggs with hashbrowns and a refillable coffee—classic diner vibes. Food was hearty and real, staff were friendly but not in a biz-card way. Kinda tight inside, but that’s part of the charm. Just wish it had a lil’ more seasoning. Total felt like under twenty bucks, which is solid.“

“Oh my my.....definitely an excellent Smashie burger....massive double burgers.....oh dear, so fresh and mouthwatering rockin backyard burger....to say I recommend this GEM OF A FIND is an understatement 👌 😀
huge recommendation off EAT LOCAL CHICAGO FOOD REVIEW CHANNEL....Sean Ely and Corey Wagner host this incredible channel reviewing local Chicago fast food spots and restaurants.....“

“The best beef polishes ever. I'm looking for the new location. I'm not satisfied and i wont settle for any other.“

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

“Love the Manzo’s Burgers!!“

“Our first visit here, and it was fantastic!
The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff member on duty was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, and the self-service ordering station made the process quick and easy. We’ll definitely be returning!“

“Great Food.kid friendly very clean place.“

“Small Cheval, a spinoff of the renowned Au Cheval, offers a streamlined yet satisfying burger experience. With multiple locations across Chicago, including Wicker Park and Old Town, it has become a go-to spot for burger enthusiasts seeking quality without the wait.“

“Absolutely amazing place for a burger!“

“I got lucky the first time I went it was a very short line! The Italian beef was good but I got hot & sweet peppers & the heat was a little too much for me lol other than that it was good, greasy & flavorful. Oh & that Italian Ice is nothing to play with its soooo good! Finished that first“

“🔥 simply amazing, too fresh“

“I ordered the gluten free deep dish stuffed pizza and let me tell you, BEST GLUTEN FREE PIZZA I HAVE EVER HAD. CRIED TEARS OF JOY BECAUSE IT WAS THAT GOOD. 10/10, CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH.“

“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!“

“OMG where do I start . The beautiful service started from the moment we walked in the door . The hostess was very nice warm and inviting . While we waited for our table we went to the bar for a drink the bar tender was just as sweet as the hostess. It was like the further we made it into the restaurant the quality of service kept going up a notch. And the manager we even got to meet him and he was also super sweet. . Ok now on to the food because that's why you're here ... We started with the chard octopus and meet ball it was so good chefs kiss . We had the New York strip and the prime ribeye. Accompany by the Mac and Brussel sprouts Whew so mouth watering and delicious . This was such an amazing experience they gave . For anyone reading if you're have to option between this place and any other steakhouse choose HERE. You WONT be disappointed. .“

“That Ribeye Steak Sandwich is absolutely amazing! 🔥🔥🔥“

“New to the neighborhood, I was excited to try this place, and MAN OH MAN. It was so good. Classic comfort with a delicious twist. We got the Tahini Ranch Fried Chicken Sandwich, the Kefta Burger, and the Stuffed Falafel; not a dud in the bunch. The toppings and condiments that some on the burger and sandwich made basic diner food such a delight without feeling over the top. The real stand out was the stuffed falafel. I never thought of having a filling in a falafel, and the sweetness of the caramelized onions was such a delicious complexity to a classic Middle Eastern dish. Now I want to eat through the whole menu to find my favorites.“

“I went here to celebrate a birthday and I absolutely loved it. I got the chicken sandwich and my partner got the 8am burger with fries. They give you a mountain of fries. Both sandwiches were big and left me feeling full. The chicken is fried like a fish and I love the breading. I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for varieties of burgers and a pretty chill restaurant environment. Parking was easy to find (street parking) and they have some games in the back while you wait for your food which is nice.“

“I have enjoyed my experience at Slim’s. The food was jaw-droppingly delicious. I had one of my favorite Chicago style hotdogs EVER! My uncle completely ADORDED his Chili Dog. The food was five a out of five! The service was as good our food came quickly which showed us that the chefs really cared about their loyal customers. Our server was ok but she was a little monotone. Like, would it kill her to be a little more cheerful? Overall the service was ok. The atmosphere was what I really didn’t like. First of all it smelled like gasoline or something was burning. Plus, the video game was broken. Even though there was a few mishaps here and there it was ok and I would probably go again. Thank you!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Awesome place for a great Burger 🍔“

“The Food and the Chicago Cubs memorabilia!“

“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!!!“

“One of the Best !!!! Those Milk shakes and italian beefs .“

“Just stopped by Smash Jibaritos in Humboldt Park and it was amazing! My first time trying a smash jibarito and the flavor was legit — so good. Pro tip: grab the cheese sauce with your chips, you won’t regret it. The team was super friendly and welcoming, and the whole vibe was great. Shoutout to Josean and his crew for the awesome food and experience — I’ll definitely be back!“

“Great food, friendly staff, great service.“

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

“Finally got to try an Italian beef sandwich, and it didn't disappoint.
Huge sandwich at a decent price. I barely had time to put my credit card back in my wallet that my order was ready 🤪.
The beef is juicy and delicious. I also liked the hot peppers. I had mine with extra american cheese but it didn't really add much, the beef speaks for itself.“

“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!“
