Salena C. "This is such a classic. You see the iconic dawgs on top of the building and you know you're in for a treat. I always order a hot dog, and I'm not really a hot dog girlie other than superdawg! My husband swears by the superdawg, my kiddos love the chicken midgies, and you cannot skip a side order of onion crispies. If we're going late at night (because it's open super late if you have a craving!), the pineapple shake is always a 10/10. I love that they do drive up if you want to have a car date, but that they also have plenty of picnic tables for a nice day! Service is quick and kind no matter which way you order. It's a staple in the neighborhood. There's no competing with it! :)"

Ben N. "We were staying two blocks from the Bad Apple this time in Chicago, and it seemed like it might be a toned-down, more family-friendly version of Kuma's, a place we've somehow never checked out despite many visits to the city: "gourmet" burgers, heavy rock and roll, etc., but with the volume turned down a bit. My developmentally-disabled brother-in-law joined us on this trip, and for some mysterious reason we acceded to his request to dine indoors on a beautiful 72-degree evening. (This was a couple of months back.) Inside, the decor is mostly a deep red with a strong, cartoonish dragon motif. And for early evening on a Monday, the music was pretty loud, although not overwhelmingly so--mostly guitar-heavy indie and "alternative" rock, much of which I recognized and most of which I liked. (Yeah, I'm old.)The titles of the burgers here don't really reveal much about what's on them---you'll need to peruse the menu closely if you're a first-timer--but the "Figs Is In" was a little more self-explanatory than the rest. It came with a fig & bacon relish, goat cheese, and smoked onion, a combination that clicked nicely and was less messy than I had feared. The burger itself had good flavor, although it leaned more toward medium-well than the medium I ordered. Handcut fries were excellent.Relatively extensive draft beer list with plenty of variety.Not at all inexpensive, but I guess nothing is anymore, least of all in larger cities."

This street side stand had all the hallmarks of a genuine hole in wall culinary site - wow great hot dog - hot crunchy salty fries and lots of other tasty food cart meals.

Stephanie G. "Very classy restaurant, and it's fun to tell people you're eating at Michael Jordan's. The dining is upstairs with a cool walkway over the foyer downstairs. It is located in the Intercontinental Hotel and a good choice if you are within walking or Uber distance. Parking is not plentiful.There is no free bread though, which was disappointing. We got the filet which was just smothered in butter so much it had to be scraped off. The NY Strip comes with pickled red onion which I found unnecessary. Both were tender and juicy.For sides, the roasted baby carrots were really tasty as was the mac and cheese. They were pretty expensive for sides but were big enough for sharing.There weren't a lot of dessert options, so we passed on getting any. The service was good. For a nice occasion, this is a good option."

Clay G. "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."

"Cheezborger. Cheezborger. Cheeps. Cheeps. No Coke. Pepsi." Even though over a half-century has elapsed, Billy Goat still capitalizes on the connection in their signage.I thought it might be fun to stop by for a cheezborger after our fulfilling architectural boat cruise. Despite its official address, it's actually below Michigan Avenue where there's a labyrinth of underground roads. After entering, the first sign you see says "Enter at Your Own Risk" (photo: https://yelp.to/EmO-DA6e8f). They're trying to retain their sassy reputation, but they're no Wiener's Circle.The server behind the counter was actually nice when we made our simple order. We decided to split the $5.59 Cheeseburger (spelled right on the menu - photo: https://yelp.to/UxvWuKcjZj). Still no fries, just cheeps, so we got a bag of Lay's Potato Chips and a couple of Diet Pepsis...no Cokes!

Krystina J. "After a long weekend in Chicago we decided to end it at a Diners Drive Ins and Dive spot and it did not disappoint! We went around 2:00pm on a Sunday. Parking was a little difficult to find, but after driving around the block a couple of times we lucked out and found a parking spot across the street. We ordered our food from a kiosk they have set up. Our food was ready in no-time. We got the BBQ chicken bowl, a deluxe burger, and kimchi fries. Everything was amazing. I would love to get the BBQ chicken bowl again - it was lighter (compared to the pizza and burgers we had been eating all weekend) and packed with flavor. The kimchi fries were delicious! And the burger was juicy and very tasty. We will definitely be back!"

It still works amazingly well, and this one had all the trimmings to make this hot dog special. Love the little way they make the endings all cute.Prices are a tad on the high side but they serve alcoholic milkshakes! I thought about ordering one but figured to back off. Maybe I will get one of these and a hot dog before I leave this city.The floors were very sticky so points lost for ambiance.Great late night snack food overall."

When we went in, they were not too busy. They weren't super friendly, but not as rude as we expected. This might have been because I had a kid with me.They talk pretty fast and take orders pretty quickly. The prices are good and the food came out fast. I did notice that the cashier asked all of the other patrons for tips. Again, she probably didn't give me a hard time about a tip because I had my son with me. I ordered the Char Cheddar dog with fries. My son ordered a cheeseburger. The fries were really good. it seemed like they were fresh cut. They were seasoned perfectly, not too salty. No ketchup needed for the fries. The cheddar dog was amazing. All of the flavors blended well. If I had known it tasted so good, I would've ordered two. My son said that he enjoyed his burger.Char Cheddar Dog 1-5=4.5.Fries 1-5=4."

Drink orders were taken and came out quickly! Our appetizers/meals were paced perfectly. The artichoke dip was my first ever that had potatoes in it and I must say I have no complaints. My coworker and I split the fish & chips (not pictured) and the salmon. Both were absolutely delightful. The salmon with the lemon sauce was bright yet filling. Fish and chips were probably the best I've had, cooked to perfection and the dipping sauce was almost drinkable. Would 100% recommend. I plan on returning once I'm no longer pregnant and can enjoy a nice pint with the food!"

Angelica T. "We made reservations at this restaurant for about 30 people. It was awesome because we were able to enjoy a great meal, each other's company, and had no problems splitting the bill. They were able to split the bill between us all and processed all of our credit cards individually (Google wallet tap and apple pay too). The appetizers alone were amazing and we ate every bite. We were so full by the time the main entree came that I had to take most of it home. Here's what we got and my thoughts on them. Appetizers:*Carnitas nachos - the chips were amazing. I think they were made in house they were crispy and delicious with the most delicious nacho cheese. *Hummus - the bread alone was so delicious and you add that hummus and it was *chef kiss. * babaganoush - it was better than I thought it would be. I actually ate some. Not my favorite appetizer but I still thought it was pretty good.Entrees:*Marq burger - didn't get to try but my friend enjoyed it.* fish N chips - didn't get to try but half our group got it and they seemed to enjoy it.* carnitas tacos - I didn't enjoy it as much as the nachos because it had no cheese, but it was pretty good. It came with pickled red onions and jalapenos. *southwest salad with pulled chicken - delicious. My friend gave me some and I ate it all. Refreshing and has these little chips in there. Desert: *Cannoli - wasn't my thing. It wasn't sweet and it had pistachios on it.* chocolate mousse shooters - it was pretty good. Soft and gooey when you use the spoon it came with but not soft enough to use a straw with (yes, we tried). If you like chocolate you will like this. We found out the best way to eat it is to mix and then down it like a real shot.Overall, the place was cozy with nice servers and good food. Would definitely come back. Thanks!"

Steve A. "Got here at lunch and tried one of their vegan versions of a burger. It's the one in Evanston, an actual restaurant compared to the vendor in Urbanspace. Edzo's is known for their burgers, and sides such as fries. Get some good food here even if the prices are kind of high. They may be pretty slow but you should wait because it's better than fast food stuff. Came here and wanted a burger. It's about $9 for a Beyond Burger, the vegan choice. This looks a lot like the real thing. Certainly there's a difference but it wasn't as much as believed. This came with the basic toppings like lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. Looked a lot like a basic burger. This was plant based but it was also satisfying. Could have also gotten fries. These looked basic though so we just got the vegetarian burgers as lunch. Has some pretty good options for making a burger. It has more than burgers however including of course fries and some other sides. This is also a good choice for a group wanting burgers and there's a mix of meat eaters and vegetarians or whatever."

Worked a solid day, was walking to the hotel and slid in. (I used to live north side, I know what to look for in a "classic Chicago knock you in the dirt delicious corner spots") Came in. Read the full, wide variety of items they serve. Holy crap. This place was for real. Philly Steak. Philly Chicken...but my man behind the counter said "nah bro. Not tonight. Tonight you're eating an All-American". He let me add bacon. Hit the grill after the order. He recommended the straight up waffle fries. He fried them fresh, single order just for me. Damn. That burger was a half pound easy after cooked! The fries would make Chick-fil-A fans flock here...because however they fry these fries (wait for it...)DAMN!!! so I dragged a friend here again tonight. He had the cheddar bacon burger, I tried like hell to eat half my Philly Steak. Same quality...except tonight my man behind the counter hooked my friend and I up with badass smoothies. Off the menu badass smoothies. Nothing crazy... traded something for apple juice and let us try a sample...Damn. We both bought one. If he had had a large, I would have bought it. If you're in this part of Chicago, eat here. If you live up to about 15-20 minutes away, it's worth the trip. I know there are a lot of spots like this in this town...but this one is one step up. I've eaten in dives like this in Philly, NY, Boston, Houston, Austin, LA, Bozeman...this is in my top 5 anywhere spots. #dropsmic"

My friend got the brunch burger, which looked absolutely delicious, and I got the Idiot Burger. The idiot burger has prime rib instead of ground beef, and that made the taste unique. It comes with a tomato chutney sauce that sort of cooled the burger off, but it tasted superb. Our waiter was so sweet, helpful, and welcoming. The atmosphere here is definitely laidback and family oriented. Definitely a must visit when coming to Chicago."

The patio is large and super spacious, so it made a great option for a place to come with a big group. The drinks are everything of a margarita lovers dream. There are SO many margarita options, and even some traditional Mexican beverage options too like sangria, horchata, jalisco old fashion. I went with the jalapeño margarita and I loved it, but buckle up; she's spicy! It comes with half a jalapeño atop it, if you want to make it even spicer. We shared some chips, salsa and guac to start and loved all three. The guac was so fresh! I ordered the carne asada and pollo adobado tacos. Both were flavorful, but the carne asada was my favorite! The tacos are decently sized, but I would probably get one more. Overall great time here and I would absolutely come back to hang on the patio and try some more drinks!"

Monk's Pub

Monk's Pub

★★★★☆ 3.7 (549)

Steve A. "Classic pub in the Loop. It even looks older because the outside is medieval. Monk's Pub is a popular gathering spot for downtown workers. Has the drinks and food you expect in a place like it. The prices also are about what you expect in a hip area though. Anyone looking for classic old pubs in Chicago has to come here. It's been here quite awhile, but with the old looking exterior it looks even longer. They have some kind of medieval theme. Just too bad they don't have old time prices. There's some pretty pricy stuff. Beer list is pretty big. Lots of local ones to choose from. It's about $9 for a basic cocktail. There's better ones that are even for expensive though. As for the food, pretty good, but expensive. There's typical pub fare like burgers and wings. Also they have a Beyond Burger. It's $16 and comes with a side. Good in spite of the price of course. The last time here the food came out fast and the atmosphere was good mostly. Gets pretty busy at lunch. It has plenty of workers from nearby coming in and when they get off. This is also one of the few places around here open on the weekends."

Rockwell's Neighborhood Grill has been around awhile, since when the area was still a lot worse. Has pretty good amount of choices as far as drinks and food. The prices are okay. Best to get here by public transportation because it takes you right here. It's close to the Rockwell station on the Brown Line. This is one of the ones that's street level, so it's unique. Came in the last time and we got a few drinks, including a House Margarita. It's $7 so it's not that expensive compared to other places. Has a nice amount of choices for vegetarians including burgers. You can substitute an Impossible Burger and a dairy free bun for a few bucks more. Got the Rockwell Burger. It's $13 and this one is the cheapest. This has the basic toppings including dill pickle, lettuce, mustard, red onions, and tomatoes. Hop off and come in. It's easy to get to by public transportation. There's lots of local beers and good cocktails, and the burgers are the main food option with choices for both meat eaters and vegetarians."

They don't bother with those grey frozen burger patties found at many competitors. .. nothing but Creekstone Farms beef here! The prices reflect the fresh ingredients and upgrades like brioche buns. 3.39 overall. I tried to convince myself to generously round up considering the service and the never frozen burger patties, but. ..that wouldn't be fair to the other 4 star restaurants.I don't like their Chicken Strips, but they are popular. I find they lack seasoning and are chewy. Not worth a special trip, but absolutely check out if you live in the neighborhood. Open til 9pm."

North Branch is a loud hangout in Glenview known for pizza. Also there's barbecue such as ribs and other kinds of meats. There's a few healthier options if you want any of those. Best thing about it is the specials they have on drinks and food. It has some kind of special every day pretty much. The Saturday one was $7 mojitos, so we got a few of these. Good flavor. The food is hit or miss. It's about $9 for the Village Hummus. This came with olive relish, toasted pitas, and vegetables. Good portion for the price to be honest. The pizza is probably the most popular. Has lots to choose from as far as drinks, and there's better than expected food. It has a lot of good sharing food including pizzas, wings, and that kind of stuff. There's all kinds of cheaper specials going on, so pick the best time by looking up the menu on the website."

We came here to visit St. John Cantius Catholic Church ... which is just a block away ... and then we were in the hunt for breakfast. YELP did us a solid in directing us here ... with reviews reaching just above 4 stars.One in our party had the Belgian Waffle (a 5 star offering that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside), the other in our party had a side of bacon and a dry English Muffin (4 star nice crispy bacon, which made my own version of a bacon sandwich just delightful). While we only tried two small dishes, they were very nice. BTW the coffee was 5 star stuff.Service was on point here, the food came out quickly and fresh. The dining room was a nice tidy place that could seat a number of people. The kitchen is visible from both rooms, and gives it the feel of a neat diner. There is a parking lot out back, but it doesn't hold many cars ... that means you may struggle to find a neighborhood parking space ... but don't let that hold you back as this place is worth it. Their website seems to be Under Construction, and they should remedy that; they have been here for awhile, and should show that with their social media sites. Normal hours are 7:30 am to 2:30 pm ... typical breakfast/lunch times. Nice outing, and we'll be back to try some additional items ... and probably lunch too."

We originally were headed to a nearby establishment but were stunned to find it closed that day. Our Plan B turned out to be a big thumbs up for our rain-soaked party of five. We were seated right away, and the service throughout our mealtime was on the mark for us with a pitcher of ice water, and an efficiency of ordering and serving of food and drink. My love and I selected brews from Forbidden Root and Three Floyds to go along with the heavy metal decor and tunes. The burgers are served on pretzel buns and include a side of fries. The three young men of our group each ordered the Famous Kuma, and why not? This burger has bacon, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and of course the fried egg. I do believe the young men all liked the Famous Kuma. My love and I split the Mastodon, which was topped with bacon, cheddar, fried onion and BBQ sauce. Based on our appetites that afternoon, the savory Mastodon and generous side of fries hit the spot perfectly for the two of us."
