Fantastic! Second time coming here and the burgers are out of this world. We brought our 3 kids (ages 6 and under) and the staff couldn't be more accommodating. Pleasant experience! read more

The best burger in the suburbs of Chicago also followed up with a fun friendly atmosphere . Where you can kick back with a great beer selection as well . read more

The absolute best place around for authentic and delicious burgers. Everything is made by hand, including the best ketchup, ever!

Great burgers. They make their own ketchup in house which is really unique but it was also very tasty. I'm not a big ketchup fan either. Service was good and place was clean as well. read more

It's worth the trip! Their burgers are by far the best burger I've ever had in my life. Burger Antics has set the bar high and no other has ever come close. The restaurant is on the smaller side so we always go out for dinner at what we call old people time. Just before 5 pm. The service is excellent and the choice of craft beer is vast. I'm not a whiskey drinker, but if you are I'm sure they have your favorite available. The only thing is I wish they were more kid friendly! They really need to come up with a more comprehensive kids menu. We have been going to their restaurant for years starting at the Willow Springs location when the kids were very young. We brought our own kid drinks, which they never objected. Now that the kids are older they don't want to go their ant more. Which is ok with us as long as we can find a baby sitter. If you like burgers you will love this place you just have to try it and you will be a member of the Antics Militia! read more

I really wanted to like this place. I enjoyed the atmosphere but everything else was subpar. The food we (myself and three other adults) ordered took almost an hour to come out after being ordered. Out of the two drinks we ordered one was wrong and the other came out 25 minutes after it was ordered and one of the four meals we ordered was incorrect. I'm giving this establishment three out of five stars because they were kind enough to remove the drink charges and because I feel it has potential to be a enjoyable place to eat and have drinks but the experience I had was undesirable. read more

The burgers are so good! And unique! When I'm feeling healthy I get their black bean burger - delicious. They also have an extensive beer and drink list. They have high chairs and are family friendly. They don't have a specific kid menu, but they do have a delicious mac n' cheese that my son loves. read more

Great, quality food. Best hamburgers. When you finish your burger, you are already thinking about when you can come back! Great selection of beer and unique and delicious mixed drink. Super friendly, knowledgeable staff! read more

I ordered my burger "very rare" and it was medium rare. All you make is burgers and you can't get that right? Fail. And the fries are too salty. And the waitress never came back to ask if everything was all right. That's three strikes . . . read more

Very good burgers, everything is made in house, even the ketchup. Nice selection of beers at the bar, 80s movies playing on the tv. It's a cool place, although a bit small. There are seats at the bar to wait or you can eat there. The food is always worth the wait. A bit pricey for burgers and fries, but this place qualifies as a gourmet upscale version of your regular burger joint. read more

A lot less well known then Kuma's Corner or au cheval, but I'd put the burgers right up there with the best in Chicago.

Revisited the restaurant: burgers and service have both improved. My son had the mac 'n cheese which he loved. My wife and I split a few wings and built our own burgers with fries. The wings were amazing and they even let us split the sauces with BBQ and hot. I wanted so bad to try the dessert but we were too full. The meal was a complete, identical do-over from the last time we ate there. The restaurant was pretty busy for a weekday but not too crowded and we were able to grab a table right away. The food came out relatively quickly. Server was the same woman we had on our first visit and she was pleasant. I'm glad we decided to give Burger Antics a second try. We will be coming back. read more

This place is a find. Amazing food cooked with pride. A solid rotating beer list with all the whiskey choices you could imagine. Service is solid and they seem to care about what they are serving. Had brunch today. The mushroom skillet was just ok. No color and no unique flavors. The burger of the day however included biscuits and gravy. Looked amazing. If you check it out, be ready for a smallish place that can get loud in the evenings. read more

Amazing! Mac and cheese was the best, wonderful selection of burgers! Our server was awesome as well.

I went with four other people to Burger Antics in 2015, while on our great burger quest. We wanted to try it because it's local. I'm picky about burgers. They should be good even without a lot of accompaniment,so I decided to try just a burger, no toppings, no puffed up bun, no homemade mustard or ketchup at extra charge. The server seemed surprised at this. When I also asked her how the fries were seasoned, she did not know. When I got my order, the fries were highly seasoned and too salty for me to eat. The burger tasted like just ground beef. I've had plain burgers where you can taste the sirloin or chuck, but this was nondescript. My companions enjoyed their selections, but since I was less than impressed with my plain meat, they can return without me. Perhaps they have improved since I was there (as does happen with new restaurants), but I'm not willing to risk another $10+ for a patty. read more

Great burger in the 'burbs... if you like burgers, beer, and whiskey, then this is the place for you. Great burger combinations available, but you can still make your own. And if you can't decide, get the slider plate with 3 different combinations. Yum yum yum. Fries and chips are fantastic too. read more

Burger Antics is close to my office so I try to visit a few times a month. Easily the BEST burger I've had! Cool place and the staff is awesome! Ask for Kim, she will recommend a great burger and also make you one mean cocktail! read more

A superb experience from door to table and back. Service is friendly but not ass kissy. They have confidence in their opinions and not afraid to say something they don't like on the menu. The scotch egg was perfectly done and the burgers right there in the conversation with Kuma's just not quite at Back Alley's level...yet. Wonderful selection of spirits as well as some nice suds flowing from the tap. The persona reminds of Brauerhouse and it is well worth the trek to Brookfield (from Elmhurst) to experience this shot of goodness! read more

Best burgers in the suburbs and one of the best in the Chicagoland area. Great burgers, vibe and rotating beer section. Awesome cocktails too read more

After going here on Friday with friends, I liked this place so much I went back Sunday for brunch! My favorite thing is that all the main burgers can be made with a black bean patty, so my vegetarian friends have plenty of options. I got the 3 slider plate so I could try 3 of their burgers and a side of fries. It was so much food, I was seriously stuffed by the second slider. Brunch was no different. I went for the "waste management" (2 eggs, 2 griddle cakes, 2 strips of bacon and potato hash) and ended up sharing the food. My husband got the coffee cake burger and said it was well worth trying something unusual here. Note, the place is a little small, so there can be a bit of a wait for a table. The beer list is good and so are the cocktails, you may want to consider taking the BNSF line, get off at the "Brookfield" stop, and walk the 1/2 a block north so you can have a couple of drinks if you have to wait. read more

Was looking to try this place while it was in Countryside and I never made it around to it. When I did, it was closed. I was delighted to find it open even closer to me in Brookfield. We tried it and it's very good. Tasty burgers, ice cold beer, great wings, not much else to say other than give this place a chance. If you're looking for a $5 burger, this is NOT the place for you but I can justify a $12 burger if it's very good, which this one was. Good alternative to driving into the city. It's a bit small so get there early for a table. Nice beer selection too! read more

Burgers at Burger Antics are top notch! I love the creativity behind all of their standard menu items and, especially, the burgers of the week/month. We haven't had a bad one yet. I'm not a huge fan of the fries or ketchup and the mac and cheese was pretty standard but I really do enjoy the burgers. I wish they'd offer takeout on the weekends as the place can be a bit loud and my husband and I are homebodies with a toddler. read more

They have great burgers and a good list of craft beers. It would be on par with like a Kumas. I would say it's a top spot outside of Chicago. The only thing I don't like from burger antics is there custom ketchup. read more

The black and bleu burger was outstanding, the best I've ever had. The coleslaw was also great. We brought home the maple bacon donut for desert. Just took one bite (that's all I had room for), and it is out of this world!!! Glad we made the trip from Orland Park. We will be back for sure! read more

Best burger around!! Had awesome waitress as well! Believe her name was Kim, Great meal all around!

Interesting menu in a cool little space in downtown Brookfield. We went for brunch. The bloody mary was too spicy for me. The food was great, especially the apple cider pancakes. The Eggs Benny was very good as well with a tangy sauce and eggs poached perfectly. Would go back to sample burgers and sample the beer list for sure. read more

Had a burger craving so we came here on our lunch break. Having worked in the service industry myself, and at a successful Chicago burger joint, I'd say I know the different degrees of burger doneness. I order mine MEDIUM and it came out MEDIUM-RARE to RARE. VERY, very disappointing. The waiter said, "well, that's our medium". What exactly does that even mean? Medium equals medium, every chef knows that. No offer to put it back on the grill or to make a new one. Super lame. The only reason I'm giving two stars is for the gumbo and fries. Oh, and the homemade ketchup tastes like cocktail sauce. read more

Burger Antics - This is what a burger cooked to medium is to Burger Antics. They must have learned how to cook burgers in another country. - Burgers Near Me - Brookfield, Illinois

Yes, they have great burgers and a nice cocktail menu. And I was excited about trying the place after reading the reviews, but I could not enjoy the food with the loud heavy metal rock music. Also the walls are basically bare, since the artwork is placed at a very odd and extreme height. The result is an uninviting atmosphere that for me could not be overcome by the great burgers. Maybe that's why the place was empty at 9 pm on a Saturday night. Fix the atmosphere! read more

I decided to give burger antics a try after gaming at galloping ghost I thought it was pretty good I love the homemade catch up the atmosphere was nice there's plenty of parkingand they get a pretty nice beer selection also whiskey and bourbon. read more

See all

This was my first time at Burger Antics. The restaurant was crowded. We where told 20-30 minutes. This seemed reasonable for such a small restaurant. My only issue with waiting was that they did not have a place for you to wait. Once we where seated we looked over the menu. They have a large selection of whiskey and beer. I ordered the 3 sliders and fries for my dinner. You can choose the 3 types of burger you want for the 3 sliders. I ordered a buffalo burger, a blue cheese burger and a peanut butter & jelly burger. All three were delicious. I also had a basket of fries that came with homemade ketchup. The fries were very good, but the ketchup was not. Don't ask for Heinz ketchup, because they don't have it. Overall it was a great place for dinner and a delicious burger. I would like to go back and get a full size peanut butter and jelly burger. read more

Love that you have the option to get a burger, a black bean and rice burger or a grilled chicken breast made anyway you want. I actually had the salad with all of the toppings and grilled chicken and it was great. Awesome service. The fried pickles were mediocre (Spears instead of small pickles) but will definitely be back. read more

Went for lunch. Food was awesome, 5 adults all loved the burgers as well as the fries. Not your run of the mill burger place, unique toppings, very fresh. We only had soft drinks, so can't comment, except they had a great beer and spirits menu. Our server was nice and explained everything well, but it took forever to get our orders, and then they came piecemeal at that. Even drinks came out slowly. I assume they had issues but only thing said was "well done takes longer". Funny thing is one of the well done was first to come out. We were not in a rush. Even so, we were all so aggravated but the food redeemed them. So assuming this isn't a normal experience, this place should definitely be tried, and if I make it there again and it's better, I'll update. With a more appropriate waiting time for the food it would for sure be 5 stars for us. read more

My friend and I loved the burgers from here! Very tasty with super fresh ingredients.. a must try!

Very disappointed in my recent visit. Got seated by the bus boy and waited 20 minutes without a waiter ever coming over to our table to greet or even to ask what we wanted to drink . Ended up just walking out. Will not return... read more

Burger Antics has gotten better and better each time I go. The standard menu burgers are all great, but I always look forward to trying the ever changing burger of the week and burger of the month. The beer list has a great selection that I don't see at any of the bars in the area. BA is a great addition to Brookfield and I'm so happy they are here. I can't wait to watch them grow. If I could, I'd give them 4.5 stars! read more

We stopped by this place on a Sunday for brunch. The menu was small but everything looked good. Then we ordered and proceeded to wait the next hour for our food to arrive. I couldn't tell you what took so long because we didn't order anything too complicated and it wasn't busy at all. The waitress was very friendly and checked in on us often and when we did get our food it was good which is the only reason they are getting two stars. read more

The burgers were good. The fries are way to salty and they should consider dicing their pickles, before they fry them.

4 stars because their burgers are above average, and they have an awesome beer selection. But their ketchup it house made and I am personally not a fan at all. Give me Heinz!!! Also, cool atmosphere!!! read more

My husband and I tried this place for the first time last night and we really enjoyed it. We were greeted right away and our server was very helpful in assisting us with finding a beer we liked. He even brought us samples of one we were curious about and another he thought we might like based on our preferences. I ordered the 4 cheese burger which was covered with gooey cheese (and had the added bonus of fried mozzarella on the top!) and my husband ordered the bbq bacon cheddar burger. Our burgers were cooked to our liking and we both loved that all burgers come on pretzel buns. The fries were crispy and perfectly salted and the homemade ketchup on the side was delicious. Since I can't say no to a warm cookie, we shared the pizookie and that was a perfect size to split and a great way to end our meal. We were impressed the both the service and the food and we will be back! read more

Well. My family and I absolutely LOVE the food at Burger Antics. It is delicious! From burgers to brunch to bacon maple donuts the food is crazy good, no doubt. However, the service as always mediocre. They seem to have a very high turnover of staff and the people they hire are simply not that good at waiting tables. Perhaps they are hiring friends versus people who know how to wait tables? I'm not sure why this happens but they just don't seem to have a grasp of the basics. When customers walk in, acknowledge them. Make sure there are the right number of place settings on the table. Take the order down right (and can't tell you how many times our order has been messed up or they simply forget to write down one of our party member's orders so when they come with the food a whole dinner is missing...) Come back and ask if you need another drink. Ask if you would like dessert. I mean, just basic table waiting skills always seem to be lacking here. So if you don't mind mediocre wait staff you will love the food! read more
