HIDDEN GEM. Applewood Smoke Burger Company is a great find in Highland Park. You would never find it if you aren't looking for it in the back of Park Place Pub on Bryant. We went on a Saturday Night at prime burger time and there was not wait. I had the Applewood burger and was perfectly cooked to a medium temperature. My boyfriend got the Farmhouse also cooked to perfection. The service was prompt and with a smile.
There is a nice outside seating and the beer selection will compliment any item. I am going to check it out again and have some wings. There was a candied apple flavor that looked interesting.
My tip for any newbies is check out the chalkboard menu, there are different items than the paper menu.
