Our Top Pick
Charly's Burgers
A tight burger menu that prioritizes repeatable griddle flavor.

Notable Picks

$ Belmont Cragin
A tight, counter-service burger shop where the move is to lean into their signature builds instead of over-customizing. The patties are the point—bold seasoning, clean sear, and toppings that read like a complete recipe rather than a pile-on.
Must-Try Dishes: Charly's Burger, La Piña Burger, Cajun fries
What Makes it Special: A tight burger menu that prioritizes repeatable griddle flavor.
8.3
$$ Belmont Cragin
A counter-service neighborhood spot that wins by keeping the order focused: wings, a burger, and one of the house drinks. The food reads best as comfort-forward and built for pickup—go for the items they repeat well, not the whole menu.
Must-Try Dishes: Wings (house sauces), Cheeseburger, Horchata slushy
What Makes it Special: Wings-and-burgers execution with a signature horchata slushy hook.
8.1
$$$$ Hermosa
A small, chef-driven room where the burger is a supporting player on a more creative, sandwich-forward menu. Treat it like a curated order—pick one main (burger or fried chicken sandwich), add fries, and let the flavors stay cohesive.
Must-Try Dishes: Single Bacon Cheeseburger, Cambodian Fried Chicken Sandwich, Fries
What Makes it Special: A compact spot blending burger/sandwich comfort with chef-y execution.

Worthy Picks

$ Belmont Cragin
A classic neighborhood counter where the burger is part of a larger hot-dog-and-sandwich lineup, and it hits best when you order like a regular. Go simple—cheeseburger + fries—and skip stacking too many sides that soften in the bag.
Must-Try Dishes: Cheeseburger, Fresh Cut Fries, Chicago Hot Dog
What Makes it Special: A broad, old-school counter menu where the basics stay dependable.
