I can’t make that judgment if this is “the best burger in Chicago” as this is a personal decision. it was perfectly executed and tasteful. you have to try it yourself. it is worth stopping. or many.

Walk-Ins are limited to the barroom, but it is worth making a reservation for a table. the drink list is extensive, with great beating on both the design and the can/bottle as well as a creative cocktail list. eating is amazing. almost everything is done in the house. the Scotch egg bursts with taste and doesn't feel like a fat bomb in her stomach. the burger is delicious to create everything from the patty to the melt in the mouths to the bungalow compliment one another a wonderful arrangement of aromen. the cherry top is the personal is so funny and pleasant, with that they feel like a more regular there, even if it is their first time.

After waiting for 40 minutes without our burger order, I inquired about it and was met with a rude suggestion that we could pay our bill now to leave sooner.

Period. Bonus: We had one of the most congenial and knowledgeable servers. She understands that their burger is something very special and her description of the chef's process in developing the recipe had sold us immediately. This place is a bit tucked away and is an absolute gem.

Their food was so good and worth the wait. You can tell they are working through some of the challenges that come with being closed for nearly two years, but overall the staff was nice and the ambiance was great. We sat at the bar and tried the Mission Trip cocktail, a draft beer, the soft pretzel (the cheese with it was AMAZING), and the vegetable korma so good! It would be helpful to have a reservation as we walked in (around 9:40pm) and they had a 15+ minute wait and suggested we go to Maplewood Brewing (5 minute walk away) to wait, which we did.

The fish and chips were some of the best I've had and the short ribs were so flavorful. Great selection of draft beers and the garden party cocktail was fresh and light perfect for a summer sunday afternoon!

The meal ordered was the Pastrami Smoke Salmon; first day on the menu and was a delightful reimagining of a smoked pastrami. Definitely recommend a stop for a solo date or group date. Expect to spend depending on the drink and food.

The drink list is extensive, with great beers both on draft and in the can/bottle as well as a creative cocktail list. The food is amazing. Almost everything is made in house. The scotch egg is bursting with flavor and doesn't feel like a grease bomb in your stomach. The burger is delicious, everything from the patty to the melt in your mouth onions to the bun compliment one another to create a wonderful arrangement of flavors. The cherry on top is the staff is so fun and pleasant to interact with that you feel like you are a regular there, even when it's your first time.

It has a sunny egg, aged cheddar, smoked ham, maple syrup, blueberry jam and salad. The combination of it was totally lit. Blueberry jam made this dish more tasty and flavorful. I can't get enough of it. The salad also tasted fresh. It's a little bit bitter but it's good for me. You can eat this dish. I also like their English breakfast. It comes with a lot of dishes including egg, toast bread, fried pork, some potatoes, sausage and a cup of beans. This dish was too dry since it was fried but when I pour the beans it comes with a great flavor. Overall I really enjoy their food as well as their service since they have quick and friendly service. Good job to the staff and to the owner. I highly recommend this restaurant.

At the price point, I'm not sure I would get it again, but i don't regret trying it one bit and we enjoyed it a lot. We also shared a medium rare burger and the bone marrow, both of which I would not hesitate to order again. When the burger first came out it seemed a bit empty at first glance, but after my first bite I was sold; it was cooked perfectly. We happily cleared everything that we ordered off our plates and I'm sure we'll be back sooner rather than later
