“Excellent excellent excellent burger. Great fries to accompany that. It was Memorial Day weekend. I was passing by the smell of people grilling outside. The burger craving was irresistible. Slims hit the spot, and they hit it well.

It’s a not a fancy place, but the food is more than worth it“

“I got 2 farmhouse beef burgers and 1 chicken burger that had spicy honey in it. I loved the food. There was some misunderstanding in the packing of order. I came back and they corrected it right away. Also gave me $5 coupon for future. And when I mentioned i was fasting, they offered me a cookie too.“

“Butcher & the Bear is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels welcoming, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. It strikes the perfect balance between elevated and comfortable.

The food is outstanding. Every dish is beautifully presented and full of flavor, clearly made with care and high quality ingredients. You can tell a lot of intention goes into the menu, and it truly shows. The cocktails are just as impressive and are creative, well balanced, and memorable.

What really sets this place apart is the service. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and warm without ever feeling overbearing. They make you feel genuinely taken care of and excited to be there.

Whether you are going for a date night or a relaxed dinner with friends, Butcher and the Bear delivers on every level. Easily one of my favorite spots in Chicago and I will absolutely be back.“

“Nice spot to have a quick bite to eat. They have decent menu offering. The items we tasted so far have been great, good flavor and decent portions. Some items seem to have smaller portions for the price. Last time I had a spicy chicken sandwich wich is one of their new menu offerings, chicken portion was tiny. They only allow one refill on fountain drinks.“

“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.“

“It was our first time coming here my fiancé and I live around the corner and always seen it today we stopped by and the food was so good ! I got the bbq burger my fiancé the Philly cheesesteak and shakes. Everything came out so good , the fries were nice and crispy the cheese sauce for the fries amazing ! The shakes also good. Service was great ! He addressed my fiancé by them which we loved because we never have that happen and it was just a beautiful moment that he knew the pronouns without us even saying anything. We definitely will come back we found our new spot.“

“This place is great. They’re seed oil free and their fried chicken is also gluten free. I love it. I feel like I am indulging in some fun foods but without the terrible tummy ache after. Highly recommend the fried chicken and the golden fries!“

“Came in during a work shift, gentlemen was very nice and respectful. Atmospheres was amazing, especially with the painted designs inside. If you’re looking for a quick pizza or even a schwarma pizza, smash burger, and more you should check this place out ☝️💯“

“I recommend the Vegetable and FuFu“

“🔥 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!“

“Best gyros ever“

“Very delicious lagman! The broth is rich and flavorful, the meat is tender, and the noodles taste homemade. You can truly feel the authentic taste of Central Asian cuisine — everything is fresh and satisfying. The portion size is generous, and the spices are perfectly balanced. One of the best lagman dishes I’ve tried in the area!“

“You can’t go wrong with the classic Chicago dogs here—perfectly prepared and served alongside a generous portion of crisp, hot French fries.

​While I haven't had a chance to try their cheeseburger yet, it seems to be a major crowd favorite based on what everyone else was ordering. I'll definitely be back to give it a shot. Clean, fast, and exactly what you want from a great local spot!“

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

“Love the food and there open late!!“

“Great first experience. Love the smash style burger and toppings. A+.“

“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 👏🔥“

“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!“

“Stopped in to the old Meatheads location to find Epic Burger. I haven't enjoyed an Epic Burger since my carnivore days pre 2016 at the original location in Downtown Evanston. I was happy to find a plant based option on the menu and also happy to see the Garlic Parmesan Fries were still an option on the menu. Overall a good meal.“

“I came for a drink but left impressed with the food.“

“My FAVORITE grilled chicken sandwich! Everything is amazing! Highly recommend!“

“Cluck’N Wings is a fantastic spot to satisfy those chicken cravings! I had “The Box” (fried chicken sandwich, chicken tender, and fries) with Maple Gold sauce and it was insanely delicious…perfect blend of a slightly sweet chicken’n’waffles vibe. It was so much food you best be hungry. The chicken tenders are a full chicken breast and were huge compared to other chicken spots. The owner made my food and we got to chatting. He uses all fresh ingredients, homemade sauces, and is culinary trained. Super nice guy and I’ll be supporting this local business again. Cheers!“

“I had to try it today before going back to FL 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“

“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 Best! The best fries, the best steak sandwich, the best hamburgers, the best everything!“

“I came here today on my lunch break to grab a burger. Let’s start off by saying the gentleman behind the bar was so kind as soon as walked in the door. The vibe was great! I’ll definitely be back soon when I’m not working to grab a bite and a drink inside.

So the food was great!!!!“

“This chicken tenders are fire, and the whole chicken wings, and fries. I just was walking pass, on my way to work and walked in the young lady greeted me with a smile and said welcome and she helped me pick out my 3rd shift deliciousness. I got tenders with fries and the flavor and crispy on the outside and juicy on the insides amazing. Now lastnight I had the whole chicken wings, when u tell yall fire, that what they were. This time a man greeted me and said the same thing. The customer service and the food itself keeps me coming back. Sorry no picture I ate it all up. And a big shout out to the cooks back there that knows what they are doing. Whomever you are thank you. Ooh I come now every Saturday before 3rd shift starts. Now this location closes at 10p yall so get there before that time for your experience.“

“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“
