This is one of my favorite burger places in the neighborhood. I would give it five stars if they hadn’t taken the veggie burger off the menu. Bad Apple had the best veggie burger I’d ever eaten. The big pluses are the late night hours and the considerable selection of beers on tap.

All the dishes looked great here! It took me way too long to make a decision like the house of Congress. You walk in and the ambience is unique unto itself. It is darker than a normal restaurant which is really great for the circadian rhythm at night time or a great date night. They also, as pictured, have multiple homages to dragons. As a kid that grew up on Dragonball Z and later graduated to Game of Thrones I enjoyed it. I ended up getting the Elvis burger which is peanut butter, bacon, sweet plantains and a pepper jelly. The jelly was a perfect mix of heat and sweet like Sofía Vergara in Modern Family. Celina ended up getting the Nada burger that is the impossible burger with sticky bbq mushrooms and bourbon onions. That’s right you could get drunk off the onions. We both highly recommend the sweet potato fries. Not enough restaurants offer this as an option and sometimes the ones that do, fail on the crispness of the fry. I am happy to report the crispness of these fries is immaculate.

I visited for lunch and really enjoyed my meal, as well as the service. I didn’t drink but the tap list looked healthy with lots of local Chicago craft. The food was awesome! Every Steak has its Thorn or Every Rose has its Steak. I can’t remember the name, but it was on point. 4 roses was in the mix of the meal and the Philly Cheese Steak style presentation was great. Looks like a good date spot or hangout. The ambiance and decor add to the food and service.

Wow what a great burger! Our table had the Elvis and the Carolina BBQ themed burger. Fry seasonings are a fun upgrade for 99 cents. Beef is high quality and cooked properly. No dry hockey pucks here. Really cute outdoor seating in a fun neighborhood as well. I’ll come back next time I’m craving a burger and a beer!

Legendary burgers and a cool restaurant. We live in the area and grab dinner and drinks here for a special treat. They have such a unique selection of burgers and tastes, and it's fun exploring a different type of flavor each time. Their fries are also really good, especially if you pay a little extra for the truffle fries. With a long beer and liquor menu, they also have plenty of drink options whether eating or just grabbing a drink.

Great place for a casual couple dinner night out in the large lighted outdoors patio or hangout with friends indoors in the dining or bar area. The kitchen is open late on Sunday night. We got a table outside, quiet and pretty ambience. Parking available on the street. Bike stand available. The service was great. Young guy patient and kind. It may seem prices are slightly high but the food huge and includes sides. We were impressed. Food: Fried Cheese Curds - lightly perfectly fried, gooey and cheesy delicious. Nada Burger - is the next level GOURMET VEGAN burger!!! It includes the impossible burger with lettuce, tomatoes, thick mix of caramelized onions and mushrooms, and one large fried onion ring with balsamic drizzle. This was a gourmet vegan burger that I have not seen anything like this. It made it worth it to order this vegan burger (I am vegetarian) instead of a simple vegan burger with just tomato and lettuce. Buffalos Cauliflower Wrap - GREAT BALANCE of flavors with crispy cauliflower and tangy buffalo sauce with veggies. Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse - YUM! Prefer size dessert for two people (or even for one person). Drinks: Extensive Beer options include 2 or 3 Non-alcoholic Beer selections.

Was looking for a good burger today and we found it. Best burger I've had in a while: piled high with pulled pork, spicy sausage, pineapple and a perfectly cooked patty. We ate in a shady spot on the patio and I drank a great pilsner. Perfect lunch. Service was exceptional, too.

We each picked out a beer from their decent tap selection and then we shared two burgers between the four of us. Both of them were amazing. The Fig is in burger is very different but good. You can sub a delicious salad in for the fries if you want. Fun atmosphere in the place with eclectic decor. We would highly recommend this place!
