| - It's Toro Thursday, so a hankering for beef and great Yelp reviews led my nose here. What a wonderful place to indulge a burger craving! Lots of craft beer, a variety of seating (bar, booth, high tops and al fresco), a band in the background, and several screens for the sports fans among us (go Cubbies). Nice crowd for a Thursday -- excellent sign! We decided to sit at the bar (beware, the HVAC ducts overhead may drip a little if it's as humid as it was tonight). Very attentive, friendly staff made us feel welcome and made our experience extra special. There is a great casual menu featuring burgers -- and they were awesome! Lots of craft beers on tap and milkshakes -- including some spiked varieties which were probably a meal by themselves. A family strolled in and ordered a bunch of milkshakes to go while we sat at the bar perusing the menu. I immediately zeroed in on the Islander, a massive, tender, perfectly prepared medium burger with grilled pineapple and teriyaki with golden-brown fries. My husband got the medium Mac & Mac sans slaw, same fries. Within 10 minutes, our burgers were before us. So delicious, such great banter with the staff, and we are thinking about making this a Toro Thursday staple. You should, too!
