1. Tom & Eddie's
Lombard, IL 60148
(630) 705-9850
Categories:
Burgers,
American (Traditional)
FINALLY. My search for the perfect (suburban) burger is OVER. After trying out what feels like a million places, my husband and I were BOTH satisfied after a trip to Tom & Eddie's. I assure you, this is hard to achieve.
Let's start with the…More »
2. Flossmoor Station Restaurant & Brewery
I think it's about time that I preface all of my beer reviews with the fact that by the time I actually write the review, I'm most likely half to full on lit. This may sway my vote. Either way, here goes:
ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL…More »
3. Two Brothers Tap House
Warrenville, IL 60555
(630) 393-2337
Categories:
Breweries,
Gastropubs,
American (Traditional)
This brewery/brew pub/coop is the shit. I have been to Two Brothers on several occasions for different reasons and I have left happy EVERY TIME.
First, let's talk about the tour. It is free, it is informational, and it gives you 4 free tickets to…More »
4. Elgin Public House
OH. HELL. YES. I know I say that I have found my new favorite place every couple of weeks, but seriously? I HAVE FOUND MY NEW FAVORITE PLACE.
Food: I got the cheese curds appetizer (HEAVENLY!) and the Blue Horse burger add jalapenos and sub…More »
5. Firkin
After finding myself in Waukegan, yes, I said WAUKEGAN, I was desperately trying to find something in the the area to make the trip worthwhile. The yelp app totally hooked this one up. It seems like there are several craft beer bars down Milwaukee…More »
6. Prime BurgerHouse
How can you NOT like a place that has Build Your Own Burgers (my other favorite BYOB)? Every time I come here, I am totally convinced that it will be the day that I can replicate Kuma's Metallica burger or at least make the World's Greatest Burger…More »
7. The Lucky Monk
South Barrington, IL 60010
(847) 898-0500
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Breweries
This is my third visit to The Lucky Monk and I always feel the same when I leave: Full, half-lit, but half-annoyed. Let me explain.
I really like the food here. It's traditional American fare with a twist to try and make it 'different' (you know,…More »
8. Tap House Grill
I'm not sure if it's actually the Tap House Grill or just the satisfaction of multiple Alpha Kings, delicious soft pretzels, and kick ass fish and chips (plus a healthy bite of my man's burger) in mah belly, but this was a glorious night out.
This…More »
9. Emmett's
In my quest to find the perfect beer friends suggested that Emmett's be a must-see (or in my case, a must drink) in the suburbs. I've been here a couple of times now (only in the bar area) and it has always been the same. Pretty good beer, pretty…More »
10. Smashburger
This place is pretty good. Not excellent, but not forgettable either. I'm going to just throw out some pros and cons for you:
Pros:
1. There are pretzel buns! PRETZEL BUNS! I love me a pretzel bun. There are also some other fancy buns but I…More »
11. Brauerhouse
I FINALLY made it to Brauerhouse. The place is small but nice...I really liked the atmosphere. It's a little rockabilly, a little metal, and a little punk. They had quality music playing the whole time (a good mix of blues, classic rock, metal,…More »
12. Meatheads Burgers & Fries
In my search for the perfect burger I have once again come close. To compare with some of the other places around here, I would say that Meatheads is definitely greater than Five Guys (especially in the Cajun fries department), is about equal to…More »
13. DMK Burger Bar
DMK, I'm not going to lie, I'm a little disappointed in you. I roll up to the restaurant and am immediately greeted by a huge awning that says "Grass-Fed Beef, American Craft Beer" *SWOON* I had high hopes from that point forward.
Unfortunately,…More »
14. Brixie's
After finding out about the craft beer selection at Brixie's through stalking the pages of my yelp friends, I obviously had to go. It's a good thing I waited until now because the bar just had a "Three Floyd's Explosion" (their words, not mine) and…More »
15. Back Alley Burger
A few more tips:
1. You can order bottled craft beer here! The list is not extensive, but there was some 3 Floyds Alpha King and Breckenridge Lucky U to make my friends and I happy. There's more, but I stopped looking at Alpha King.
2. Order the 1/2…More »
