    For my first experience, the wait is long but soooo worth it! I ordered the BBQ Bacon Swiss Burger, fries and a Barq Root Beer Float, definitely 5- amazing food and service. Will definitely come back, I highly recommend this place if you are or are not in the area. Worth the drive and wait.

    This is a Chicago Staple - the merkts cheddar burger is so tender and juicy. Plus it isn’t super pricey compared other burger spots. Would say this is the best burger you can find in Chicago!

    I have been living in this area for 14 years and I just tried the food here for the first time ( don't ask me why) How on earth did I miss this restaurant? This is easily one of the best burgers I have ever tried

    The burgers, pups, and onion rings were really good. The red raspberry shake was really tasty. Service was okay when we ordered, and the guy that handed us our order was great. Outside tables only.

    Lives up to the hype for sure. This is what you want from a classic American burger. The char, the melted cheese, the bun all make for the perfect “backyard bbq” feel. The fries were also plentiful and golden brown. We got two burgers and two fries for 25 which I think is fair. Highly recommend calling ahead as it took us about 20-30 min to get through the long line and get our food.

    Best double burger around imo. The buns are excellent as well which really adds the quality of the burger. It's a great spot. Yeah parking isnt great / noise of des plaines river road speedway/ the line sometimes is a little much but thats all part of the PP experience. The only burger spot I go out of my way to get to / will wait in line for.
