Butcher & The Burger is a compact Lincoln Park burger counter where hand-cut Kennebec fries and cheese fries get the same attention as the custom patties. Regulars pair crisp fries (often with truffle mayo or cheese sauce) with build-your-own burgers in a casual, slightly cramped space that’s more about flavor than décor.
