| - I used to work in the area and some folks from work invited me along. How sad is it that without that intervention I might have never known about the Chicago Hamburger Co? So sad... So sad...
It's not a big place (ok, it's a dive, but a great dive) and their parking gets really full at lunch time. Try to go during more "off" hours your first time. Once you know how good it is, you'll be willing to park as far away as needed. You walk up to the counter/window while perusing the menu on the walls. I've never not had a super friendly person taking my order. Sometimes it's even the owner.
They've got more of a food selection that you might think. Hot dogs, burgers, sausages, turkey, chicken, roast beef, fish, veggie burgers, cheese steaks, wings, salads, fries, onion rings, shakes. My friend knew he'd love the place as soon as he saw "Frito Pie" as an option. You can check out their full menu at http://www.chicagohamburger.com. And yes, those are current prices. Less than $4 and you've got a nice meal. For $5 a feast.
Amazing hot dogs. Standard burgers can take a few minutes because they are being freshly made - but SO worth the wait. I haven't seen anyone not love what they got.
I can not come here without getting sliders. Won't happen. Ever. And why you may ask? Because they are better than White Castle. I know what you're thinking (Oh NO she Didn't!!!) but yes, yes it's true. Their buns are amazing. They manage to be light and fluffy, yet thick and dense. I can't explain it - but I don't have to. For less than a buck you can have your own w/ Cheese. Good luck eating just one. I'll get one - if I'm also getting a hot dog. But most folks get at least 2 or 3. I witnessed someone eat 6. Well, 5 1/2 - but he did better than I had expected.
We normally get one fry and one onion ring because they are both SO yummy it's hard to pick. Fries are cut thin and Rings are cut medium-thick. Oh yea...
For anyone that has ever loved a shake - you must have one here. I tried a friend's strawberry shake as we were headed out the door, and immediately turned around, got back in line and ordered my own. Since then - we have come by to get sliders and shakes many times. And we live 20 minutes away. They are that good.
Oh yea - tons of Chicago stuff on the walls, tv always on showing "the game" and there is a pinball machine and a Ms. Packman. Waca waca waca....
