50 Best Burger Restaurants near Winnetka

“Great Managers and employees, friendly service����“

“My daughter is not a burger person , Boba Burger is one of her favorite places to eat!!! #Makayla from Chicago PD“

“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!“

“Small and mighty. Had a fantastic bacon cheese burger and fries! Much needed in our neighborhood. My new spot.“

“Delicious Food and awesome service !!! We have now been enjoying this Dengeos Location for 4 awesome years !!!

Kid-friendliness: There are highchairs and large tables to accommodate.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ample parking and ease of entrance.“

“The service was fine. Our server was polite and responsive. The atmosphere is casual. As there are lots of hard surfaces, the noise level is somewhat high. The food was good. The "black truffle" barrata is a ball of cheese on top of some stewed green vegetables. I detected no evidence of any truffles in the dish. No truffle aroma or flavor. Seafood pasta primavera was tasty with fresh seafood.“

“We stopped in today for lunch. I had the Classic burger with fries, it was larger than I expected and really good, fries have a light coating that was nice and there were plenty of them. My lunch partner had the Quesabirra and it was super good. Flavorful, not too greasy, he liked the house hot sauce they offered on the side.
Their lemonade was good too. We will be back to try other things.“

“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 !!!“

“Came in on a night in which I was way too exhausted to cook. My online order for a couple plant based burgers got lost in cyberspace, and I only found out when I went to pick them up.

Matthew and his team made it happen even though they were about to close.

I appreciate the post-close help, gents!“

“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. .“

“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“

“Love the food and there open late!!“

“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.“

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

“Best gyros ever“

“Budacki's is a classic neighborhood stop for fast eats. It boasts a broad menu of comfort food, from Polish dogs Chicago-style to gyros and Korean fare. It's not a large or contemporary space, but around rush hour, you'll find it full of regulars from blue and white collar workers to young families and school kids. If you're visiting, there are other spots that do something similar. But if you're new to the neighborhood, be sure to make the trip, and you'll easily find yourself a regular too.“

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

“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.“

“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 👏🔥“

“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 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 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!!!!“

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

“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“

“🔥 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!“

“been here a few times, each is better experience that the last, attempt to try most of their items on menu. So far, my favorite is their Mango smoothies with cloud cheese, as drink. Their cloud cheese is really good and a balance of salty taste with the sweetness of the mango, the tapioca in the drinks is plentiful but not overpowering the water content. I had it in other Chinatown restaurants, some had too many tapiocas that my teeth were tired chewing them. Cuckoo is not. Their Don (Japanese rice bowls) and their bibimbap (Korean rice bowls) are excellent. Have not decide which is better because each have their own uniqueness and tastes; I had 2 types of their bibimbap before and only 1 type of their Don. So far, I am leaning towards the Don but there is excellent amount of veggie in their Bibimbap, which is ideal for weigh concise person. Wish they have a loyal customer rewards style of drinks incentives, much like some restaurants, for example, buy 9 and get 1 free drink, or some % off after 5 drink purchases, and give customers an advertisable nice pocket size reward card to keep track of their purchases. That may also work with food item purchases as well. Crossing my fingers that this may happen soon. With summer in Chicago, cool refreshing drinks is ideal and as loyal customers, return for more drink purchases with rewards will be even better.“

“My family of four loved our meals! My Thai bowl was super tasty! Fast and friendly service too.“

“Amazing food - for real
Great atmosphere and I am - extremely sad, that I paced myself so well and there was a red head behind the bar with an issue / that wasn’t me…

I’m sad I didn’t get to sing karaoke / that’s why I stayed, afterall. 🌻“

“Good clean burgers that don’t leave you feeling dirty after eating them, with a great selection and great prices it’s satisfaction guaranteed.“

“Fast and delicious as always 💯“

“Great food! fast service for carryout!“

“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“

“Best burgers in the area!“

“This is my second visit to Mix Mex Cue and it is now becoming where I will frequent on a more daily and/or weekly basis ESPECIALLY WITH THEIR HOMEMADE TORTILLAS ON SUNDAYS!!!... THE PASTOR TACOS ON HOMEMADE TORTILLAS WAS WHAT MY LIFE HAS BEEN MISSING!!!... I haven't had homemade tortillas since I was a kid and my Mom made it for Sunday breakfast...

THE ENTIRE STAFF WAS BEYOND AMAZING AND SUPER ACCOMMODATING....
THANK YOU TO FAVIOLA, EMILY, AND CARLOS...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!.....
A picture of my family and I enjoying...
THEY SAY THANK YOU!!!“

“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 ❤️“

“What a great lunch after a trip to the Botanic Garden! The double brisket burger was everything a previous review raved about. The mango habanero wings and sweet potato fries were also delightful. We sat outside to eat. Not sure where you would go on less nice days. This is a carry out place with self order on the Ipad.“

“Love this place! Such a great addition to Edgewater!“

“Room for improvement. The food is pretty good. Service is friendly. I’ve stopped here a few times and have had pitas, kebabs, and a few other items. Here’s what can get better and what will get me to stop more often. Let me add some hummus to my chicken pita. Maybe a couple tablespoons? Maybe for a small up charge? They don’t offer that option. I had to buy a side of hummus for $8 to enjoy a little hummus with my chicken pita. And then the side came with only ONE piece of bread. The hummus is REALLY good, but now I have a big bowl of hummus with no more bread to enjoy it with. Also, I prefer my hummus without pools of oil in it. A little drizzle, okay. But why drown the hummus flavor with so much oil? Anyway. Good place. Could be better. I’ll give them a try again and update my review if they’re able to raise the bar a little bit.“

“This restaurant is really outstanding and really great for the image of Evanston's southern end. The food is fantastic and I very much enjoy everything from the Bacon Temptation Omelette to the Spicy Poblano Omelette to the Crispy Chicken Sandwich to the Cowboy Burger. All of the food is fabulous and very well prepared, the variety is wonderful, and the coffee is always fresh. And above all, Ivan and the waitstaff provide customer service that's 'above and beyond' in every way. They're very kind, compassionate, efficient, and accomodating to everybody who comes into the establishment. Keep up the great work!“

“It has the absolute best food! In the 30+ years we’ve been going for dinner, we’ve never had a bad meal! The Athenian chicken and kabobs are outstanding, along with the Greek fries. Maria, the owner is wonderful! And very accommodating! Definitely need to go here more often! A family favorite for sure!“

“My friends and I, had breakfast here today and the service was awesome. I was seated quickly, and had many items, to choose from on their menu. The waiter was super nice and friendly and checked on us a few times to see if we needed anything. The ambiance was great, the food was fresh and a lot of it. I took my leftovers home. Thank you Dem and staff for a GREAT service. Take care“

“One of my favorite restaurants. I LOVE the salad with fried goat cheese & beets. Also the croque monsieur was really good 😊“

“Assalamualaikum everyone I must say they have best pizza in chicago. Every week I visit here with my friend and order dil khol pepperoni pizza.. The staff is very kind and friendly especially the long beard brother on front desk and the cheff. Now they know me and as a regular customer they make special one for me with extra cheese and bunch of extra pepperonis. And we eat in the parking lot while enjoying weather and fighting for that last piece.. thank you brothers for making us a best pizza and lot of memories too..“

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

“delivery order alittle later but more importantly both pizzas were cold.Tasted ok but if hot would have been better. they should use pizza hot bags to keep food hot.“

“My burger was fantastic and the onion rings are phenomenal“
