“It was super delicious & service was fantastic! Thank you to my sister from another mister for treating me to a nice dinner here! 🙂“

“My Lamb Burger was good! Nice indoor seating and very clean. The Beginning Burger & Nashville Hot Chicken, onion rings and fries all good! Friendly staff. We even received complimentary Birthday Desserts. Great Place Downtown! Will be back🥳💜“

“Good burgers, great fries! I love their Ranch which is always a plus for me. Excellent server in a calm chill environment. Come check it out!“

“while people seem to be review bombing over support in the Isreal v Palestine conflict which seems to be the hottest button in the world right now, my review is about the food, service, staff and atmosphere. The service is top notch, drinks on the tables in less than a minute and food out in less than 10 minutes, mind you we sat at a bar table that the bartenders take care of on top of serving the entire bar rail, they still got drinks out lighting fast and checked on us several times. the burgers were HUGE and delicious, and the fries were perfect. The selection of beers on tap were great and uncommon to find at other bars. the atmosphere was great, loved the music and it was just loud enough to vibe to while still being able to have an audible conversation. The staff was very accommodating and the hostess had a table cleaned off for us immediately, she and the bar staff were great! They have an open kitchen and it looks like the cooks enjoy what they do and have fun with it, which is nice to see and not very common. We will definitely be back next time we're in town.“

“Our first time eating here. Sat outside with the pups. Service was AMAZING! The burger was one of the best I’ve had in a long time! And the sweet potato fries were to die for! Highly recommend!“

“Excellent experience! Recommended for atmosphere and sophisticated design in a very approachable setting for all types of casual business engagements!“

“yummy burgers, great beer selection, great staff!“

“Stopped by Chicago Beef And Dog Company last weekend while strolling through Irvington. I got the Italian beef loaded with peppers and my partner tried their classic dog. Both were fantastic — juicy, well-seasoned, and honestly better than anything else we’ve found around Indy. The folks at the counter were super friendly too, made us feel right at home. We’ll definitely be back to try their burgers next.“

“Outstanding customer service and amazing food!“

“Food was delicious! Love the Big Dan Burger!!“

“My family was driving through yesterday and wanted to check out something local to try out. This place exceeded our expectations. We walked in, immediately greeted, and the server gave a rundown of the menu being our first time. The food came our pretty quick and the food was incredible. The server brought out shake samples for us to decide which we wanted. All tasted great as well. Overall, terrific experience! We will definitely be back next time in town!“

“Best Food!! Great Service!!!“

“I had dinner recently at Burger Theory after a flight from Houston. The staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean & welcoming. I ordered a Farm Fresh burger and fries. It was delicious. The service was excellent and I didn’t wait long for my to-go order. I would definitely recommend stopping in for lunch or dinner.“

“You always know exactly what you’re getting when you come here — and that’s what makes it one of my go-to spots! The food is consistently great no matter which location you visit, and this one is no exception. The cheesy fries are hands-down my favorite, perfectly crispy and loaded with flavor, and the shakes are always a treat.

What really stood out to me this time was the service — it was phenomenal! The staff here is friendly, attentive, and truly goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. This location is also very clean and well-kept, which makes the dining experience even better.

Honestly, this is the best service I’ve ever had at any of their locations. It makes a huge difference and is the reason we’ll definitely keep coming back. Keep up the amazing work!“

The service was outstanding—fast, friendly, and genuinely upbeat. The person who took my order had such a cheerful voice, it made the whole experience feel welcoming.

And the Beef Tallow Fries™? Absolutely delicious. They were fresh, hot, crispy, and perfectly salted—everything you want in a fry. From ordering to receiving my food, the whole process was much quicker than I expected. A great stop for quality service and crave-worthy fries!“

“Greeted friendly and warmly music wasn't cranked too much could still hear myself think bartender was great took my order fast food came out prompt best burger I've had in ages mushroom swiss heavy Mayo heavy pickle medium rare fantastic loved every bite freeze came out hot crispy ready to go but not overly cooked wash it down with a strawberry blonde that was light and fruity would definitely go back again also has an area that separates kids from the main bar area so adults can be adults and families can be families“

“One of the best individual fast food restaurants I’ve ever been to. Their drive through is fast, accurate, & the food that comes out of it is well made & handed to you by polite employees. I’ve also biked to it & gone inside to pick up my food & it’s no different there: clean place with fast, good food.“

“Visiting our old stomping ground for our Forum reunion.“

“The food was good but my boyfriends tea was cross contaminated with fruit from another customers drink the concern was brushed off as if it was no big deal. So if you have any allergies pay attention to your drinks or food.“

“Literally the best breakfast food ever!!! Never disappointed. Best part of having to make trips to Riley is eating here.“

“I don’t know who answers the phone at the Downtown location. But she is so nice and so professional. She helped me with the situation and was as kind as I would ever want to expect from somebody. Thank you so much. Also, we found this place by accident recently and we have fallen in love with Pizza so we really do enjoy going here.“

“food was yummy, not over priced . friendly atmosphere. fast service“

“2nd time here, 1st time was ok, today was better. I did learn that it's under new management starting January '26. The menu has changed a lot since it 1st opened and it's way clearer. Tried the Cajun fries this time, definitely worth it!
To those who tried it in the past and didn't like it, give it another chance and be patient, it's all fresh made to order, not premade fast food.“

“Hands down the best food in Johnson County with the best staff and more than affordable prices. We are regulars every weekend.“

“I just enjoy their food. Good taste, ample portions, great onion rings. Just great food.“

“good service Robert corrected our issues couldn't be happier“

“Great food. Enjoyed the cucumbers.“

“Came here this afternoon and our server, Justin, and the other boys working did an amazing job. They were very attentive, constantly bussed the table so it was clean, and just overall so sweet and friendly. The food was cooked well and it was just overall a pleasant experience. Bonus: They had a fun playlist playing. :)“

“Best food and the very best people!!!😁😋😍“

“Best Burger King in Indy! They deserve a recognition for amazing food and customer service! The managers there know us by now and they never disappoint! The food is so fresh and I even change my mind sometimes and they are so polite about it! We go out of our way to go here because we refuse to go to the one by the mall on 31 where they treat you terrible and the food is cold. This is worth going a little out of the way! 👏🏻🏆“

“Excellent food, excellent value, nice delivery people, one of the few great places like this left these days. 10/10 recommend. The Fettuccine Alfredo w Mushrooms, Beef Nachos, even the pickle pizza is delicious! Tip your driver good, they don't charge like door dash!! 🫶“

“Jesse and Deann Are the absolute best.“

“Burgers are good but you forgot my fries 😡“

“There were three of us in our party and two of us got great food. I ordered fish and chips and the fish was very hot but was in a puddle of oil which made the coating very soggy and falling off the fish. It wasn't crunchy and crisp, very soggy. The fish was a white fish and it had good flavor.“

“I’m huge fan of five guys. I try to never write negative reviews. This is not a condemnation of five guys in general. I’ve never had a bad meal in store. I just spent 31.00 on a DoorDash order. Huge mistake. I’ll never make again. The fries were over cooked and soggy. Not even hyperbole when I say my dog didn’t even want them. The burger bowl was cold. Clearly remade and not edible. The order got to me faster than most In store orders I’ve made. Seriously. I’ll eat at five guys but ONLy in store. Worst DoorDash order. Ever. Have to say though the food quality lies completely at your place. Do better.“

“great food . food was nice hot. very delicious.“

“We met with Chilly Water staff and management to discuss an upcoming event partnership. I had not been to this spot before. Very clean, comfortable, and friendly. I tried a couple of beers and took some home. Very good! We went ahead and grabbed lunch before leaving and was not disappointed!“
