Who has the Best Burgers in Chicago?
Like the Quest for the Holy Grail we have been on the hunt for the Best Burger in Chicago for the past month. Yes fellow Carnivore’s this list is for you!
Here is our Top 10 Burger joints in Chicagoland:
10.
Kuma's Corner
Kuma’s Corner
The Heavy Rock Band Burger joint of Chicago. This place features burgers with pulled pork on them, Chilli and you must try the Black Sabbath Burger when you visit. Great atmosphere, plenty of Tattoos and please don’t over dress. You might scare the locals.

Edzo's Burger shop
9.
Edzo’s Burger Shop
Old School Burger Shop with 70’s Charm. Makes me want to Disco up in here. Seriously these burgers rock – they ground them up daily in house and the burgers are then griddled as you wait but don’t start barking like a dog, you’ll have to wait your turn.
You can visit Edzo’s Burger Shop on-line at: www.Edzos.com
Rosebud Steakhouse

Rosebud Steakhouse
Heaven on Bun. Not exactly a corner burger joint but this steak house in the Gold Coast really hits the spot. For a mere $12.00 you get 12-ounces of prime beef on a buttery and grilled pretzel roll. Gives me goose bumps just thinking about how juicy the are – YUM on a Bun!

Naha Angus Burger
7.
Naha
Just an incredible Angus Beef Burger that is liberally seasoned on a bed of caramelized onions along with your choice of fun cheeses. The Angus Burger goes perfect with the hand cut parsley fries. Chef Carrie Nahabedian provides an upscale restaurant but without the attitude. Seating is always excellent at the Bar and service is excellent too.

"Cheezborger, cheezborger, cheezborger. No Pepsi, Coke. No fries, cheeps."
6.
Billy Goat Tavern
What would the Chicago Burger World be without the Billy Goat Tavern. Tourists from around the world continue to make their way to the Billy Goat Tavern and many of Chicago’s Celebrities are among the regulars. These Cheezborgers are greasy spoon lovers dream. The double is the Home Town favorite – just mix in a little raw onion, dill pickles and you have every meat eaters dream on a bun. God Bless you John Belushi.

Fried Egg and Truffle Aioli Burger
5.
Benny’s Chop House
A newcomer to the Chicago Burger Scene but we should have know they had an All-Star cast featuring Benny Siddu (Volare Ristorante) and Chef Jonathan Lane (former Chef – Four Seasons Hotel) that are cooking up some of the Best Food in Chicago. The Fried Egg and Truffle Aioli Burger is Amazing and to the think this River North Location is really a Steak and Seafood Restaurant. Next visit, the Infamous – Benny’s Burger. I can’t wait!

Five Guys Burgers and Fries
4.
Five Guys Burgers & Fries
Five Guys Burgers and Fries seem to have a cult following and have been popping up all around the country. When you travel around asking everyone Who has the Best Burger? Five Guys are always at the Top of the list. Our Burgers were very tasty and messy but overall pretty Damn Good. I’m not big on commercial chain burger restaurants but they make a nice burger – the fries could use a little help and the menu is not really kid friendly. Again Burgers are Good and I will be back for seconds.

Lockdown Bar

Lockdown Bar & Grill
Heavy Metal and Burgers always go well with each other. We each tried a different burger and we all said one thing after that first bite… WOW! I spiced it up a little and went with THE BOOTLEG – Kimchi, Bacon and Fried Egg. No wonder Citysearch just named them the Best in Chicago. A Must Try for all you Chicago Foodies.
