All I can say there is a war in Chicago for the š This place is good. Try it.
by Louie I
It may sound odd, but the #14 salmon burger with ginger and sriracha Asian slaw is the best. We had the #5 bison burger and #4 pepper /egg / bacon burger and both were far from the salmon.
by Damon M
With this spot being rated #3 burger in Chicago I was definitely expecting more. Very thin patty, twice as much bread. The bacon they put on after they forgot was quite cold & crispy.
by Nicholas M
For a boost of flavor, each bite of mac and cheese was laced with the unmistakable, but never overpowering, funk of truffle oil.
by Chicago Tribune
The burgers here are excellent. I would highly recommend getting the sweet potato fries with the aioli sauce.
by Dexter S
Onion strings are the side of choice.
by Bobby Kennedy
Good veggie burgers - made with a black bean base. Don't skip out on the fries or onion strings!
by Emily Sullivan
DMK is a go-to for good reason. Among the memorable hand-cut Russets are those doused in Parmesan and truffle cream. Then again, the sweet potato fries with Tabasco-lemon aioli are pretty good, too.
by Chicagoist
Get the cheese fries! !
by Mark Stefko
The bison burger was incredible and the truffle fries are a must
by Daniel J
The Big DMK Burger is knife-and-fork big, especially with a fried egg, and it makes for a very satisfying dinner with side orders of chili-rubbed onion strings (great house ketchup) and fries.
by Chicago Tribune
Literally everything here is amazing.
by Hank s
Perfect salmon burger! I loved it!
by Kübra Zengin
The burgers are amazing but vegetarians beware: the fries are cooked in animal fat.
by A-Bomb
Burgers are very, very good. But go after those sides and sauces! We went when they had a monthly special of sweet potato tots with a special aioli sauce that was unreal. Long wait, but worth it.
by Kenny U.
fries are cooked in beef fat--vegetarians and vegans beware
by Keith P.
DMK burger & parmesan fries
by Abdullah N
Nope. Good, creative and pricey but not in top 10. Fries are done correctly and exquisitely. Try the fish!

Hey DMK Burger Bar, you should join Freebie! The benefits are amazing for both you and me.
by Adam Scott Smith
The Parmesan fries were amazing, as was the peanut butter shake. We had to sit at the bar to eat, and our waiter/bartender went out of his way to make sure we were properly tended to. High marks.
by Jeremy N.
The burgers are good not amazing but the parmesan truffle cream fries with lemon sauce are to die for. Great beer selection.
by khym S
Truffle fries
by khym S
Burgers are a bit thin but the quality of the meat is really good. Fries are incredible. Truffle fries are so delicious . Make sure to get the large order!
by E Ruiz
The potato fries are super creative. Edgy place with a good taste for burger lovers!
by J.V. L.
Yes, the burgers are good. I refuse to go anymore because it is so outrageously loud that you have to yell to be heard by the person sitting next to you. It's a shame, because the fries are great.
by Dana Jensen
Try the bison burger number 5 with goat cheese and caramelized onions.
by David Curiel
The bison burger is great. All the fries are awesome but the parm are my favorite. Get a couple small sizes to share.

by Brad S.
I have been here 3 times in a row, 2 times I sent my burger back. Over cooked burgers. too many kids who scream. I don't know if its a burger bar or a high school cafeteria.
by Hillman Philistia

Turkey burger was awesome. Definitely worth stopping in!
by Sarah C.
The burgers come out super fast but they are oh so delicious. Get the #5.
by Barrett L.
Fries were good, but next time be sure to ask them to hold the salt. They over salt the fries too much. Turkey burger was excellent! Definitely recommend it.
by David B.
Holy shit, the milkshake. I don't even like milkshakes. Get a milkshake. (Veggie burgers are alright- I wouldn't call it the best)
by Pauline H.
Rocked! Lilly was great waitress, and burgers, beer and good were money!
by radstarr
Yum yum yummyness #1 was savory and sweet... Just great. Our favorite side was the onion strings.
by Buena Vista Supper Club
Must try the #5 Buffalo Burger. Awesomeness! Service wqs top drawer as well.
by Miljan V.
Good food and great people. The hostess gave us fries on the house because our table took a little longer than expected. On top of the great service, the salmon and veggie burger were delicious.
by Jenna W.
Turkey burger was the best I've ever had and the fries were the icing on the cake. Plus they served Crispin apple cider, one of my favorites!
by Abigail E.
Awesome burgers.
by Brian P.
The Patrick Kane. Go Hawks!!!
by keeton c.
So good you won't want ketchup. Get the #5 bison burger - it has (subtlety flavored) blueberry BBQ sauce
by Derek D.
They should make their items order-able from my smart phone by adding them to the app "appay biz". That way, I can order ahead using "appay"!!
by George W.
Effe is the best! Always suggesting great food & drinks. Tip her well!
by Tommy S.
Hey I got free fries for checking in with Foursquare. Yea yay

by Jamie F.
Great griddled burgers from a fine dining chef, plus crispy fries and thick shakes.
by Serious Eats
Very Thin burgers....but good.
by Michael
This place deserves a bigger bathroom :)
by Marton H.
Service staff are smokin'
by Alex K.

by Time Out Chicago
A definite go to burger place in Chicago! The #1 is great, with aged cheddar, smoked bacon, charred balsamic red onions and rufus teague's bbq sauce, you can't go wrong!

The #4 as a turkey burger with the salt and cracked pepper fries.
by Tate G.
Not a huge fan of the burgers. Love the wedge salad & Parmesan truffle fries though! Also great bar with draft picks. :)
by Becca K.
I'm sure you aren't coming here because you're a vegetarian, but if you do the fries are fried in beef fat. The fried onion thing is awesome though.
by John T
Great music and the margaritas are fantastic!
by Benjamin P
I pray to the double Bison Burger w/ fried egg and shredded crispy onions.
by Mike K.
The #3 is basically a Reuben on a burger (pastrami, gruyere cheese, sauerkraut, and an unbelievable remoulade). If you're into this type of thing, don't hesitate to pull the trigger.
by Jake S.
#4 never disappoints! Add a side of sweet potato fries and you're golden.
by Adam H.
What kind of burger bar doesn't have ketchup? This one.
by Andrew B.
Great burgers. Get here early, it get crowded.
by Daniel B.
The Sweet Tea Revisited. The Rhubarb Delight. This place has some fucking dank cocktails, and the burgers are equally overloaded with awesomeness. It's the 1st place I go to eat when I'm in town.
by Brendan L.
Add a fried egg to your burger!

The Holy Guac-aioli Burger is so great we've never ordered anything else. The service is always top-notch, except for tonight. Pretty sure our server is getting ready to quit or had a bad day.
by Nisha C.
Green hatch chilli burger 4.5/5
by Kenneth T.
Try the Santo, only served on days when the Cubs (ugh) have a home game. It's amazing.
by rebecca r.
Be careful when ordering to go, the Bartenders sometimes don't keep track of the orders. Ending up waiting 25 minutes extra when our food was ready just sitting behind the bar.
by Liz S.
Bison burger with deviled eggs? Just another reason why Chicago is home to some of the world's best food. Be sure to try a S'mores shake with your meal!

Make sure your whole party arrives together if there's a wait. Otherwise you won't get your name on the list till everyone arrives.
by Angie T.
Onion strings & other good things.. :)
by JK-47 [Villain]
Order a double. You're getting grass-fed beef; the normal patty size is sub-McDonalds size.
by David S.
Delicious. Great atmosphere.
by Joey L.
You can mix shake flavors!
by Will L.
The lamb burger is like an upscale gyro stuffed into 2 warm & toasty buns. Did I mention that their sweet potato & parm fries are to die for? :)

by James C.
Amazing truffle fries and salmon burger! Can't wait to go back for more.
by Dina A
Melt in your mouth burgers for $8, yes please. Be sure to get some delicious fries and a good local beer to round things out.
by Brian H.
Skip the cracked pepper on your fries if kids will be eating them.
by Phillip W.
The fries (fried in beef fat), shakes or sides, like anchovy-draped Caesar salad, steal the show from the burger. Patties are cooked only āmedium plus,ā leaving them juiceless and disappointing.
by Time Out Chicago
Try the parmesan fries!

Try the Deviled eggs. Bison burger w goat cheese isn't bad, either.
by Ankur G
They just started offering LeftHand Nitro Milk Stout on tap! One of my favz!
by Tony F.
Weirdly small plates used for the burgers. I kinda dig the music and I really liked the lemon alioli used for the sweet potato fries. Wish burger bun was more toasted.
by Krista
The #4 is a grass-fed patty with roasted hate green chile , sonoma jack cheese, and a fried egg. It's awesomeness on a pretzel bun
by Michael C.
Pretty mediocre for all the hype/price. Can get the exact same cheese fries at wieners circle and pay less for more. Hatch green chile is not very authentic when compared to what you'd get in N.Mex.
by Natalie U.
Try the sweet potato fries, they are yummy
by Karen W.
Awesome burgers and sweet potato fries!

The #2 burger is excellent, start with the mac'n'cheesr

Went early on a Friday (5:45) and we were seated right away. The #4 with cheddar fries was amazing, although the fries were better than the burger.
