I'm crazy disappointed this place is leaving classic. The food, the people, the simplicity of this place is beyond amazing. I really hope they find a place soon to carry this business. It's funny I come near Woodstock, and I always make that joke "Boba burger?" anytime I'm in the area with my buddies The other day one of the owners kids was playing near the register and you know its moments like that where they're just happy and such great people with great hospitality to there customers. I've reviewed this place once before: Tokyo dog, Lechon burger, large fries, and triple berry smoothie is my go-to. I seriously don't exaggerate you need to come by before they close. I hope they find a place quickly because you know I sure will always come back. read more

We dropped in for a quick dinner. This place is super busy. They make your food to order which is great. It's a serve yourself kinda place. They mainly do pick up business. It's inside a bowling Alley. The folks are really friendly and nice. The food is decent. The burger's are 5 oz. and made fresh. You get a nice brioche bun with fresh lettuce and tomatoes and cheese. The drink options aren't huge. It's not a place you linger or have a conversation. The onion rings are nice and crispy but for me I don't like the huge batter centric rings. I like a light batter with crunch so you can taste the onion. The fires are just okay. Most were a bit soggy for me. read more

Located right next to the bowling alley, they have a selection of bubble tea and Asian foods. Unfortunately, they are closing in a few days. Such a shame, I love the vibe inside and the staff were really friendly and efficient. I got an avocado shake, and it was really good. I also got a chicken salad, and the chicken was moist, and flavorful. I hope they reopen another location! read more

My first boba burger experience was great! I'm sad that the location is closing and that my first visit will be my last :( I enjoyed the Seoul burger and a side of fries with a Thai iced tea. The flavors of the burger were delicious- I love the fusion concept. Boba burger will be greatly missed by the community! read more

Wow! What a burger. I saw an article on MSN listing Boba Burger as one of the best in the USA so coming in from out of town this is a place I had to try it and so glad I did. I ordered a double Korean burger and it was almost too much burger for me, but I finished it along with the delicious fries I ordered. The pineapple boba tea was also delicious. I think it's the first time I've had kimchi on a burger and it and it was an amazing addition to a burger. I'll need to get back there soon, excellent burger joint in kind of a weird location that's inside a bowling alley but so worth it and service was good. read more

Love these guys! Ever since I discovered this burger joint inside a bowling alley, I've been frequenting this establishment for years. I love their asian-inspired sandwiches which combine Spam and Pineapple and Pork Belly and all other fun stuff. Taste explosion in my mouth! I love their various salads as well and they offer those tiny but taste-explosive Lumpiang Shanghai's! (Filipino egg rolls) And of course, y'all need to wash everything down with any of their fruit bobas! I always go for my Mango-Lychee boba every time I say hi to the very pleasant brothers who run the place. "Gamsahabnida!" read more

Boba Burger is a really cool and totally unique spot tucked inside a bowling alley. It is super weird in the best way and genuinely fun. You can hear the pins crashing and the balls rolling down the lanes while you eat, which adds to the experience. The service was great. Friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The food was delicious and clearly fresh and handmade. We had the Boba Burger and the Hawaiian Burger along with hand cut fries and bubble tea, and everything was excellent. Such a fun vibe with great food to match. I would highly recommend it and will definitely be back. read more

We randomly searched for Asian fusion on yelp and this place popped up, so the family went for it. It is on the side of a bowling alley (bonus), and a lot of parking outside. Casual dining situation, friendly employees, clean. Could use maybe a little low-key music vibes but that's fine. Family rated food: 1. Boba Burger - 5 stars Best burger I've had. 2. Hawaiian burger - 5 stars. He would give it a higher score if he could. Great burger. Best burger he's ever had. This is on par with BRU burgers in south bend Indiana. 3. Chicken tenders (kid vote) 5 stars. Thin and crispy and well-seasoned. 4. Boba dog (kid vote) - 4.5 stars from the kid. Not a pickle kid so I'm sure it was a great dog. 5. Fries (kid vote) - 5 stars. She didn't even use ketchup. So... :) Definitely come here again. They even made us a Thai boba to try. Not our jam, but soooo coming back here again. read more

Really neat place- it's located inside a bowling alley so pretty nice to see better food options than just ur classic pizza wings etc. The Seoul burger had bacon egg cheese n a huge patty so def very filling and the kimchi helped to cut down some of the grease. Get Rdy to get ur hands wet lol but really solid. Banhmi was really good as well - we tried the crispy pork and it's so goood ! Super crispy and crunchy! I just wished they had jalapeños lol Otherwise fries were really good and cooked in the fat so perfect :) Drinks were alright - I liked the viet coffee more than the cantaloupe bc it has better flavor and stronger profile. Would def come back to try again and support a local business ! read more

I'd read a lot about this restaurant, but there just never seemed to be a time when it was nearby and convenient. So one day we carved out some time, and went directly there. The burgers are truly as good as all the reviews say. I had the bbq lechon burger, and the lechon was tender and juicy, not dry and chewy like some other places I've had it. Delicious! Another highlight was my drink, the mango boba, with mango jellies added (like gummies) - yum! My husband had the Boba burger, and while he didn't brave about it as much as I did the lechon, he also said it was very good. And he had the strawberry Boba with the strawberry beads added it in. Some of you have asked about alcoholic drinks, and while they don't sell them there, I asked the owner and he confirmed that you can buy them at the lounge in the bowling alley and carry them in. That's not a problem for anyone who would like a cocktail with their meal. It was overall a very positive experience. We arrived when there was hardly anyone else there, no line, and by the time we left an hour later it was busy but not packed. We really liked it, and will definitely be back. Please help support it. It's a gem that needs to be there for a long time. read more

Boba Burger - Holy Mother of Swiss cheese this is such an good find! - Burgers Near Me - Morton Grove, Illinois

We were out with friends one night and we hadn't had dinner. They suggested Boba Burger as I have a burger club. So off we went. I ordered a double cheese burger and cheese fries as our friends told us that Boba Burger has great cheese fries (and I love cheese fries). My wife go the Banh Mi sandwich and our friends ordered shakes. To give you an idea about Boba Burger...it's a tiny little burger spot located in the Classic Bowl bowling alley. It takes up a corner spot right by the front entrance. It's a small space with the menu up on the wall, a tiny counter to order from, a small kitchen and a "dining area" with about four-to-five four-person tables. It's a cute little place. And now that you've read about the ambiance, let's get to the food. In a word, "awesome"! The burger was incredibly juicy and flavorful. Each bite juicier than the next. After I finished the burger, truthfully, I wanted to order another burger. It was so good. I'm looking forward to going back just for that great burger. And then I tried the cheese fries. Holy cow are these good. These are some lame frozen fries. They are good quality fries and the cheese just smother on top (just how I like it). Yum! I will definitely return with my Burger Club, but I'll come back on my own several more times just myself and anyone I can drag with me. Now on to the Banh Mi sandwich. It's a Vietnamese sandwich and my wife got it with chicken. She said it was fantastic and would easily get it again. Plus, she also had the cheese fries and said they were awesome. Our friends got shakes. Two people got normal flavors and one of our friends ordered an avocado shake. You read that correctly. An avocado shake. And she swears by it. She loves it and always gets it. I know. Gross. But if you're into that kind of thing, more power to you , and now you know where to get a good one. But go for the burger. or the banh mi sandwich, or the shakes, or the cheese fries, or all of it, because I'm telling you, you'll want to eat it all and go for seconds and thirds. It's fantastic! read more

Connected to a very lively bowling alley, Boba Burger is a bit of a hidden gem. Very simple, no nonsense. You get a burger. You get boba. Both will be delicious. The jalapeño poppers were actually a surprise hit. Most places tend to core out a jalapeño, but Boba Burger makes a super smooth and slightly spicy blend of cheese and chopped jalapeño. Unique and very yummy. I got the bbq lechon and this burger will knock you straight into a food coma. Worth coming out here for another burger, and maybe a round of bowling. read more

We drove quite a while to get here, but I will say, it was worth it. It's a small place & everything is made to order! So, if you're in a rush, then you may wanna go when you have enough time to sit & wait. We got some chilli & cheese fries, two burgers, some hot dogs, and drinks! The fries were some of the best I've had. The flavor was absolutely amazing & the cheese wasn't like that "nacho cheese" taste. The burgers were something I've never had before & it was definitely filling. It had a good flavor to it & the kimchi on mine wasn't over powering. I loved the runny egg on the Seoul burger as well. My absolute favorite thing was the Tokyo dog. I didn't realize the wiener itself was fried, and that took it to the next level. The fresh & crisp taste of the veggies, with the fried frank was sooo good. As for the drinks, the honey dew drink I had was delicious. Almost tasted like an agua Fresca! Overall, this place was definitely worth the drive. I'd definitely go back again & try more off their menu read more

Super Hidden Gem worth trying! We originally saw this on YouTuber Mikey Chen's video about Hidden Gems in Chicago Area. We were just out driving and saw the sign so we had to seize the opportunity to try it and we weren't disappointed! Parking isn't an issue. They share the lot with Classic Bowl since they're connected to it so they got a decent sized lot. You have to enter through the bowling alley to get into the restaurant. The bowling alley was nice and clean and so was the restaurant. Nothing too fancy but mega clean with a decent amount of seating. You can eat in or take it to go, that's up to you. Customer service was pretty good. Staff was polite and patient with us. You can tell they take their craft seriously. The staff also felt that they were a family which was nice. No issues on customer service at all. Food was delicious! We shared the Hawaiian Burger and some fries to go and we were super satisfied! Fries were delicious and just the right amount of saltiness! The Hawaiian burger was delicious and I think it matched the price. It doesn't look too big but the patty was thick and juicy. The spam complimented it just right. Between the two of us that burger filled us up. I'm not from here but I definitely see myself coming back next time. My boyfriend lives out here and he says he'll be back again! You guys should give them a try! read more

Outrageous burgers, boba and bowling? Sign me up! It's been a few years since I stopped in to Boba Burger, the restaurant inside Classic Bowl, the 1970s bowling alley. Seeing Yelp's "11 most outrageous Burgers" in the U.S., with the BBQ Lechon Burger named no. 9, made me curious so I drove to Morton Grove for lunch. Boba Burger is in the front of the bowling alley, but even so, I was confused because of the Waukegan/Caldwell street merge directly in front of Classic Bowl. I may have even made a somewhat unorthodox turn into the parking lot. There is ample parking. Enter Classic Bowl and then enter Boba Burger on the left. Unassuming, small, somewhat retro-looking -- hey, I got no Beef with that. I was flipping excited. I ordered the Seoul burger, 6 oz beef patty, cheese, kimchi, kalbi-glazed bacon, fried egg, lettuce, tomato-- as well as some Boba hand-cut fries. Also, I added an avocado smoothie with boba. Shall I recap? Lettuce dive in! A juicy delicious burger, reasonably priced, is a rare find! Did it meat my standards? I mustardmit it did! The burger was juicy, tasty with the addition of the kalbi bacon (nice and crispy), kimchi (more like a sauce), fried egg and nicely toasted bun. The only thing I did not relish was that the bun soon fell apart. They provided me with a knife and fork so I was able to finish the rest. Well done! The hand-cut fries were nicely browned, a little soft, but lightly salted and a generous portion. The avocado smoothie -- large, green, filled with soft and chewy boba -- let's face it -- it was not avocado this world, but it was tasty and good to try. I will try the BBQ Lechon on another visit. There are other interesting options that sound good also. Do I think that Boba Burger deserves the attention? Grill, you better believe it! As I said, a juicy delicious burger, reasonably priced, is a rare find! read more

Burgers in a bowling alley sure why not? But these burgers are particularly stacked high with creative ingredients that work really well together. I had the BBQ lechon which had a delectable fried pork with skin and onion rings. Half a burger was good enough to satiate my hunger. Also had some of their fresh cut fries - which was well-done like I like it. Nicely seasoned and wonderful on its own without ketchup. The food was cooked to order so it's not super quick service and the dining room is no frills. The staff is great though as they recognize their regulars and their orders. I'd definitely be back, as the food is good and it's a great local business. read more

I cautiously entered the aging bowling alley to decide for myself if Boba Burger is as good as I've heard. After circling the parking lot to find a space during league play it better be. The menu is a big sign on the wall and there are a lot of interesting choices. The prices are good, too. The guy at the counter was friendly and helpful. I ended up ordering the Seoul Burger. It was simply incredible. Kimchi, kalbi glazed bacon, fried egg. A perfect blend of flavors and textures, and no cutting corners on quality. So freaking good! The Thai iced tea is delicious, too. SECOND VISIT: It was so good I had to bring my fiance back with me. I guess that friendly guy at the counter owns the place with his brother. Good folks, I enjoy talking to them. She isn't as adventurous as me and ordered the more basic Boba Burger. Perfectly seasoned, perfectly seasoned, perfect sear. She was happy. This time I tried the BBQ Lechon Burger. It isn't as over-the-top as the Seoul Burger but it was still delicious. Lechon is roasted pork belly. Paired with the ground beef, barbecue sauce, and topped with an onion ring, this is another winner. Their Vietnamese iced coffee is really good. The egg rolls are above average, I had to fight her for that last one. Their fries are nicely crisped and well seasoned. Bottom line: Yes, they have earned their reputation and I plan on working my way through the whole menu. read more

Boba Burger is one of the best places in the burbs for a cheeseburger. It's honestly my favorite burger in the area. I usually get the regular Boba burger, but the BBQ Lechon burger is also amazing. Great bun, fresh, flavorful and juicy patty. I'm sad every time I finish it that I didn't get to savor it for longer. The rustic French fries are some of my favorite as well and they give you a ton. The hot dogs are great, and the Tokyo dog is a pretty cool concept for a hot dog. Definitely something I've never seen before - the tempura adds such a nice touch and the sriracha ketchup is so good. I also LOVE their fresh pickles. Both the beef and chicken Banh mi sandwiches are delicious and couldn't really decide which I like better.. I love both. Lastly, their salads are great. I love the Asian Chicken salad. The marinade on that chicken is something else. I always ask for double chicken because it's that good. The dressing is also the perfect amount of acid and sweet. It's one of my go-to's. You can't go wrong with anything here. The prices can't be beat and the owners are very friendly. You won't regret it! read more

Love love love Boba Burgee because they always deliver exactly what I want and expect. I don't order their burgers anymore since I was diagnosed with gout (although I shortly ymiss them) but that's just the beauty. I used to come strictly for the burgers, dogs and boba but since, I've moved over to their bahn mi sandwiches which come in a variety of proteins (marinated chicken, pork (lechon) or seasoned beef. This is one of a variety of other choices outside the burgers and dogs that you can taste and be satisfied eating here. Their service is also on par and catering mostly to the bowlers bowling at the alley although I still come in strictly to eat here whether I bowl or not. As you might imagine, this place isn't that busy inside the restaurant because most people ordering are bowling at their lanes. Inside, there is ample dining area and it's pretty quiet outside the fact that you hear the bowling balls traveling down the lanes just outside the restaurant. Plus it's one of Yelp's top 100 so it HAS to be good read more

Really delicious burgers and fries for a super reasonable price. All the burgers are under $10. I loved all the toppings for the various burgers they offer. My boyfriend got the Hawaiian burger and I got the Seoul burger. Both of us shared the chili cheese fries and got bobas as well. The fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The Seoul burger was stacked pretty high and got a bit messy to eat with the egg yolk. But overall it was a delicious burger. I understand why this restaurant is the number one restaurant in the Northshore area. Parking is a bit difficult to find on a Friday night because the bowling alley has a lot of customers, but the parking lot is pretty big so you'll just have to circle around a bit. Service was friendly, fast and efficient. I highly recommend giving this place a visit if you love burgers! read more

We have been coming here for many years now and it's always been a favorite and go to! Highly recommend if you're in the area, they serve great asian fusion bites. You can dine in or takeout.

Some other items I really enjoy are the Asian Chicken Salad, Banh Mi Sandwich (with Sesame Beef), and Chicken Tenders w/ BBQ sauce. From the drink menu I like the Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Thai Tea, Strawberry and Avocado Smoothie. The smoothies are made with real fruits and very refreshing.

One of our favorite places! Entrance is through the bowling alley, which is a bonus if you like to bowl, or if you like plenty of parking, or both. Inside the restaurant is clean, modern-looking, and always seems to have available seating. (Possibly because some of their customers are eating while bowling!) Always a great burger--I love that you can add a jalapeño popper, right on the burger. The popper is jalapeño and cheese mixed together and fried in a wrap. There are lots of other options for burger toppings too, in case jalapeños isn't your thing. And let me tell you about how much I LOVE the Vietnamese iced coffee! It's amazing, I highly recommend it. They have other drinks too--fruit freezes with boba and a variety of kinds of popping boba. The kids love these, and there's something for everyone. Staff is friendly. They often recognize us by now and ask about the kids if we show up without them. (Shh, don't tell my kids we went there without them, they love it too!) read more

Burgers, dogs and a bahn mi. Asian inspired Bowling alley burger and dog restaurant. The Boba burger and dog were standard but in addition there were Japanese, Filipino and Korean inspired creations. Tried the Seoul Burger and a Tokyo dog. The Seoul burger had kimchi added. I didn't notice on the menu but kalbi flavored bacon and an egg were included. Aside from the kimchi it tasted like a standard burger with the added boost from the Bacon and egg. It was good but the Korean flavors were muted. I would see if more kimchi could be added next time. The Tokyo dog was a Tempura fried hot dog with a Japanese inspired carrot and radish lightly flavored vinegar dressing and nori. I've ordered this before and appreciate the difficulty in keeping the tempura batter crisp. Good try but I would work on bringing the tempura batter to the forefront. Fries were crisp. Only condiments were ketchup salt pepper. I would have liked sriracha. The bowling alley was not full of league bowlers and the restaurant was quiet and empty. I would return again and stop by when I'm not bowling. read more
