DMK Burger Bar

Trying grass fed beef burger for the first time and it was so good! Went on a Friday evening and it was full house. I went on a rainy night so wasn't expecting it to be so busy, but loved the ambiance for a Friday evening. Despite how packed it was, service was great and food didn't take long. Here's what we ordered:-sunrise burger: perfect combination of jalapeño, runny egg, and bacon. It was so delicious.-big DMK: my dining mate who typically order medium rare (not sure if he did this time) said it was a bit dry. Would opt for a single patty next time-fries: Parmesan cheese & truffle cream. Need I say more? It was addicting with the burger. The cream dip made it fun to eat fries and I couldn't stop going for it. -wings & drums: blueberry bbq & buffalo. Honestly, the color of blueberry bbq was intimidating but once I got past the colors, it was sweet bbq and was tasty. I preferred blueberry bbq over buffalo, but I liked the onion strings that came with it. -Brussels sprouts: I always order Brussels sprouts whenever I can and this was crispy, yet sweet. Some places make it soggy and I hate it but this was warm in the center, crispy on the outside. It was a perfect mix w bacon, cheese, and glaze. One of my favorite. Drinks:-hibiscus refresher: so pretty in color. Not to sweet. I liked the touch of tea and lemon flavor, that wasn't too strong in tea flavorBuzzin: I like gin so I ordered. Not as sweet as hibiscus drink but it was a good one to finish off my meal.

Went in for lunch on Friday at 1 pm and the place was completely empty. Burgers were alright, nothing to brag about. Fries were limp and a bit soggy. Got charged $100 for 3 mediocre Manhattans and the bartender just blamed his manager for the pricing saying how it's pretty ridiculous. Honestly it felt like we got scammed.If the price point is so different from everything else on the menu I feel like a little heads up would have been nice. But they took our money with a smile. 1 star is being generous. Never again.

I remember I first visited DMK when they opened their original location in 2009. They were THE hotness in Lakeview for elevated burgers with creative toppings. It's so exciting that they've now been operating for 15 years as one of the most beloved burger joints in Chicago, still serving tasty burgers using 100% grass-fed beef patties on their signature artisanal buns. We recently had the opportunity to visit and loaded up on several menu items. Our favorites were the Big DMK, the Parmesan Truffle Fries, the Chipotle BBQ Chicken Wings and the Churro Shake. The Big DMK is their version of a Big Mac and it is massive. It comes with double grass-fed beef patties (2/3lb), American cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomato and DMK sauce. This thing is juicy! We also really loved the DMK sauce. The Parmesan Truffle Fries were yummy and just one of SIX different fry styles that are available at DMK. They've got some other fun ones like Angry Fries and Blue Cheese & Bacon Fries. You have to appreciate a place with an impressive fry game. The Chicken Wings were plump and tender, and the Chipotle BBQ sauce was finger-licking good.Finally, I love churros, and really anything cinnamon in general, so you know when I saw their Chef's Feature was a Churro Shake, I had to order it. Skip the straw, this thing requires a spoon! It's filled with big dreamy chunks of churro and will melt your heart with every bite. If you're looking for that solid burger, fry and milkshake combo, DMK is a great option. They also have a nice cocktail and beer selection, if you're feelin' frisky.

DMK definitely satisfied my burger craving! I ordered the Rambler burger and Parmesan truffle fries (shareable size), and the sauce for the fries was delicious.They also have trivia on Thursdays, which we didn't stay for but looked fun! Overall, friendly service and great food!

We had such a great experience while attending their Bachelorette Monday. Great food & drinks, plenty of options and such a friendly staff.

This place is amazing! The staff is friendly, the restaurant is very chill and the food is good! Melissa was our server, she made my daughter feel so good. She smiled the whole time from the attention and gentleness she showed throughout or dining experience. I would like to give a special highlight to their bison burger with blueberry bbq sauce. This might have been one of the best burgers we've had in a while. We topped it off with their incredible red velvet milkshake, we simply couldn't ask for a better dining experience. Meter parking was easy to find, there is also a nearby train station. Such a cool place to enjoy for various reasons. Not to mention, there's a full bar. This place truly won't disappoint

When you're featured on Food Networks Diner, Drive Ins and Dives AND named Chicagos most Iconic Burger by Eater magazine- you gotta be doing something right and DMK has definitely made their presence known in the Burger world! To go along with their great food, DMK Burger Bar also features trivia night, happy hour, football game-day specials and more!I loved how soft and fresh the Artisan buns were for the burgers. I was literally in awe of them The chili rubbed onion strings are like the Auntie of regular onion rings- they're an upgraded version, with the perfect blend of seasonings! My friend/neice tried the Sunrise burger while I had the turkey burger with a fried egg and avocado added - extremely good seasoning and flavor on them and they have so many craft burgers that you can choose from.However, I gotta put the spotlight on the apple pie shake! It's their shake of the month and it's beyond delicious! It has pie pieces inside of it!! Now with ANY OF THEIR SHAKES - YOU CAN MAKE IT BOOZY AND ADD A SHOT OF WHATEVER YOU WANT! I added a shot of bourbon to mine and it was soooooo good!I'm definite going back bc I want that chicken sandwich next...... and another boozy shake!

As featured on Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, DMK Burger Bar serves up gourmet burgers, amazing sides, and delicious milkshakes in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood. I had the chance to try out a variety of their menu, and while everything was fantastic, my favorites were the Big DMK Burger, Crispy Green Beans, and Churro Milkshake! They also have a happy hour from 4-6 pm for great deals on cocktails and small bites. The service was fantastic - offered great suggestions (even something from their "secret" menu) and was very personable. There's paid street parking close by, but not much of it. ~ Big DMK Burger~ Patty Melt on Pretzel Bun~ Cheese Curds~ Truffle Fries~ Crispy Green Beans~ Churro Milkshake~ PB&J Milkshake~ French 75 cocktail~ Hibiscus Refresher Cocktail

I come to DMK for trivia a few times a month. Usually I just drink some beer or snag a milkshake, but every once in a while I decide to get a full meal and it delivers. The sunrise burger was one of the best burgers I've had in my life, but I just wish I had had more of it. Overall, DMK exists in that awkward price range where it's not cheap but I'm not quite comfortable paying the prices for the meal and a side because it's not quite a luxury spot either. Maybe that's just a me problem, but that's how I am.

DMK Burger Bar has quickly become my favorite burger spot in Chicago. The Guacamole Burger is out of this world - the fresh, flavorful ingredients make it a standout. And don't get me started on the Angry Fries - they're the perfect blend of crispy and spicy. The service is top-notch, and the ambiance is just right for a relaxed meal with friends. Whether you're a local or just visiting, DMK is a must-visit destination for burger lovers.
