  • Take your out-of-town friends to a restaurant that's literally under the sidewalk! Does this place ever change?

    A burger that doesn't meet the hype, but SNL fame is hard to live up to. Service isn't as surly as many people think. Burgers are fairly standard, but fresh and hit the spot if that' what you're in the mood for. Definitely is the most famous burger joint in Chicago, but far from the best.
