Butcher & The Burger

Butcher & Burger: how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...This is my favorite burger in the city. Why, you ask, in a city with a zillion excellent options ? Because it's what a burger should be: hot, fresh, single large patty (I am SO OVER the smash burger trend ....). Cooked to your preference (medium rare - no problem!) served on a choice of buns, with condiments and a choice of several spices ( examples: Chicago Steakhouse, Umami, etc)The fries are a generous helping and arrive HOT. Bonuses are BYOB and a cute patio along the quiet side of Kenmore Street off Armitage. Service is always fast and friendly

We're always seeking and supporting eateries that offerVEGGIE, TURKEY, CHIX burgers & dogs. Otherwise, not interested! David, Johnny, Max...family & friends

It is pretty good if you are into burgers, they offer a build your own model where you can pick the type of bread, the spices, and add ones such as mushrooms, tomatoes, sweet onions. The ambiance is pretty chill, clean, there is street parking. Service seemed very friendly. I recommend the lunch special, is a burger with fries and drink.

Butcher & The Burger is a custom burger joint. They've got a wide range of ingredients to choose from, so you could probably go a hundred times and never get the same thing. With places like these, I always say if your food isn't good it's probably because you don't know what to throw on the burger or how to get it cooked. Also, the large fries are very large. It's more than enough for two people and could probably be good for 3-4.

The Good:-A solid burger made exactly the way you want it. Vegan and Vegetarian and No Gluten options too. -No seriously pretty much any burger permutation is possible. -Small amount of sidewalk outdoor seating. Yay summer in Chicago-Awesome and friendly staff. The Not as Good:-I can't believe for the price I paid I got a non-toasted bun. -Indecisive patrons in front you will potentially take forever to order based on the myriad of options.-Pricey depending on your tastesI will add a star to this review if they start toasting the buns.

It is a perfect place for a good quality burger. You can't go wrong with any combination or choice there. Perfect seasoning, good suggestions, high quality of meat, and Mexican Coca Cola. Vegetarians, Pescatarian maybe Vegans (check the menu to be sure) you have not been forgotten, there is something good and juicy for you too. Their cookies and shakes are to die for too. If you are still reading this, you are wasting time. Get going you can thank me later. Enjoy it

Burger: 9Fries: 8Service: 10Vibe: ChillGot the house blend prime beef burger with cheddar, onion seasoning, grilled onions, and bacon. The burger was well seasoned very juicy, the caramelized onions were a nice sweetness to balance the savory burger and the bacon was so smoky! The fries were crispy and well salted. Also got a local cream soda that helped wash it all down. The only thing keeping me from giving this place 5 stars might be a preference thing but I prefer when the buns have been toasted or warmed somehow. The burger came on cold buns and they had that distinct texture that cold buns do. Second thing really is all a preference thing and may not matter to you but I prefer shoe string fries to steak fries. Last thing I want to point out is the burger is pricy for my wife and I to have a burger and drink each and split a large order of fries came out to just over $60 after tip which is on the pricy side for a hamburger IMO.

This place serves a wonderful shrimp burger! The umami sauce was deliciously paired with it, but I'll get a more savory sauce next time. Service was friendly and super helpful.

I feel like this place has been here forever... going back to 2008 when I moved out of Lincoln Park. I could be wrong though.Either way, we came here for a quick lunch on my daughter's birthday before we went to CAMP. And it was so good! The kids' burgers would be fitting for a small adult... so much food and the fries were so good. Get all the sides! (We got the potato salad, slaw and fries to go with our burgers.) I had the turkey burger but I was secretly coveting the salmon burger so that's my next order whenever we go back. Everyone was so nice as well and the service was quick so... I'm not sure if there is anything else anyone could ask for.I do have to get a special shoutout to the frozen custard. That stuff is DELICIOUS.

Oh my god. This is delicious. I devoured my burger. It was fresh; it was crisp; it was so good. I highly recommend. A perfect "fresh off the grill" burger. I didn't add any flair, and it was still a great authentic cheeseburger. The steak fries are also delicious. A small serving goes a long way. About $15/person
