Burgers and Dogs

I prefer burgers, but sometimes a hot dog will suit me fine. Burgers and Hot Dogs in the Chicago 'Burbs.

 1. Pints Elmhurst

112 S York Rd
Elmhurst, IL 60126
(630) 833-4303
4.0 star rating
  5/21/2012

Took advantage of Yelp's Passport to Elmhurst for Pint's BOGO burger/sandwich deal. Had it not been for a night out with Yelpers at a UYE and such a great food deal, I probably would never have visited Pints.  

I really wanted to sit out on the patio…More »

I've never liked the burgers in Asia--I guess I'm just an American Cheeseburger girl at heart. So it was with a bit of trepidation that I set out to have lunch at Gabutto Burger.  

I was pleasantly surprised!  First, the older lady that took my order…More »

Wonderful beer selection and great happy hour food specials!

Food--pretty average. Our fried calamari was kind of bland and really greasy.  We ate it anyway, the garlic mayo sauce was much better than their cocktail sauce (which was bland).  I opted…More »

Our service was wonderful. Aubrey was on point, helpful and friendly without any hovering. For 3 gals that needed to de-stress and just have an enjoyable evening, it was nice to have a server that anticipated our needs.

The menu has a nice selection…More »

Lombard, IL 60148

4.0 star rating

I had seen this space at Yorktown "plaza" as I like to call it. I think the area is really called "Shops on Butterfield" but I like to nickname things all the time.
I'm quite impressed as to how this area has been upgraded, nice restaurants,…More »

5.0 star rating

This is my favorite Portillo's suburban location. There is always a line at the drive-thru and there are always lots of folks dining in. Longer waits during the lunch and dinner hour of course. The food is always consistent and never disappoints. The…More »

4.0 star rating
  3/23/2010

"Kind of like we're headed to a speakeasy..." That was hubsbie's remark when our trusty GPS led us through a residential area before finding Two Brothers tucked away in an industrial area. The sign on the door confirmed we arrived at the right place.…More »

I don't think there's anything more I can say about Five Guys that hasn't been said in previous reviews.  Good burgers, VERY juicy, long list of condiments you can add.  Pretty nice that A-1 is on the list.

What suprised me is that I just said…More »

  10/8/2009

Rookies to me means $1 burger deals and hard plastic logo cups you can take home (could always use them at home or picnics, right?). It's kind of a drive, even for this Suburban gal, but my B/SIL likes the place and when they invite us out, they…More »

Do we really need a review of White Castle?  Do we really need to hear about a late night craving?  Do we really need to read another description of the hot greasy square mini burger that is a Slider?  Sure, why not.

Sliders satisfy that craving that…More »

I'm kind of torn about writing this review.  The first time I went to Sonic was when I lived in San Antonio. It's a good thing they had them everywhere in TX because I LOVE their drinks!  The food is ok--but their drinks are what had me at "hello".…More »
