Best Late Night Burgers in Bronzeville
Master Critic Review
Mikkey's Metro Grill
7.6
A neighborhood grill with a burger-forward menu that leans into sauced-up builds and signature condiments rather than minimalist smash style. The Hey Mikkey Classic Burger is the safest bet for first-timers, while the Hebrew Burger is the more indulgent order when you want a stacked, late-night-friendly bite.

Noise level: Moderate – lively late-night energy but still possible to hold a conversation
