This place was great! I might make it a monthly ritual to go have their PBB&J burger. Those who don't know it's phenomenal! Something about the sweet and meaty flavors together with gooey peanut butter, it was just delicious. Place was great and they have a great soundtrack playing in the back! Service is super friendly and helpful. And don't forget to get a milkshake! read more

Burger Antics won Chicago Tribune's Best Burger so the husband and I got in the car and drove to downtown Brookfield to see what it was all about. The place is family friendly and alternative vibe at the same time. Everything here is house made including the pickles ketchup and mustard. Let's talk about the meat patty - thick and cooked to order. Ours was well done and still incredibly juicy - who ever is on the grill is a genius and knows what they are doing. Fries are delicious and come with the burger not an add on. The burgers come on pretzel rolls and honestly the bun overtakes the flavor of the meat there is too much bun. I scooped some of the bun out and continued devouring. The price point is $16 per burger - well worth it if you are in the area. Service is outstanding you feel like family instantly. Will definitely be back when we visit Brookfield Zoo this summer and will tell everyone it's a solid 4 1/2 stars. read more

Tables are too close together and it's loud. Burgers we ordered were both undercooked and wait staff was overwhelmed and did not check on us until it was well past the point of returning our food. We left a good portion of both burgers uneaten. read more

After searching for a food and drink spot that rivals the city, yet located in the suburbs, this place more than measures up. The first experience was great and the second try surpassed expectations. Each time I got the special and it was phenomenal. Hot, fresh, great flavor combinations, and an extensive drink selection with beer, wine, and specialty cocktails. Save room for appetizers and dessert. The ambiance is edgy yet inviting. Metal rock playing with funky art on the walls. They do a good job of appealing to adults while being kid friendly. The service is attentive and the servers give great suggestions because everything on the menu seems delicious. I will definitely bring friends and family here. It's one of my new favorite spots for an easy dinner. read more

The burgers here are great and the servers are super friendly. It's a really eclectic atmosphere but super fun

Absolutely delicious. The food and drinks are different and updated consistently. I recommend following them on social media for their burger and cocktail of the week. They play some heavy music, so if you have any sensory or hearing sensitivities, I'd recommend ordering out or outside seating is a great option in the nice weather. read more

Food was amazing. I had a chicken sandwich which was great. The rest of the group had burgers which they all loved. Our server was fun and knowledgeable. Fantastic cocktails. They know what they are doing. Fun ambiance. Super casual. Love it!!! read more

All and all a good burger joint. Service was appropriate. Food was better than a standard pup burger, I'll say it was an interesting vibe. A small dining area in and out but again, adequate. Where I struggle to recommend this place is the cost. I am all for supporting local businesses and paying a small premium for that. However, let's put things in perspective. Quarter pounder at McD"s is $5, standard bar burger $12, high-end pub burger $16, Gibson Steakhouse premium burger $21. Burger antics $22. Burger Antics has a very good burger. I would put it in the high-end pub burger category. But even there, it's at least 28% overpriced. Fries were extra. I can't see myself paying that much again. read more

The food and servers are always great!!! I live a block away and regardless if we dine in or takeout. ITS ALWAYS GREAT. Highly recommend!! I always get the 4 cheese burger (medium) & my husband always gets the spicy stuff but always happy read more

We ordered the 4 cheeseburger & Mushroom Swiss burger and both came with fries. The beef were so flavorful and juicy & had the right amount of condiments. The fries were a little salty but good portions. Their service was excellent. read more

Hands down the best burger I've ever had. The meat was cooked to perfection the heat of the chili was just right not overpowering. The fries wore also good. Can't wait to get another one. First I have to recover from this food coma ! read more

Burger Antics - Hotter Then Hell Burger - Burgers Near Me - Brookfield, Illinois

There aren't enough good things I can say about Burger Antics. Between the regular menu, burger of the week, or burger of the month, there's always something special. The burgers are always cooked to perfectly; nice charred exterior and juicy pink inside. Fresh cut fries and house made mayo to dip them are devine. The wait staff is so friendly. They always treat us like family. They're quick to give helpful drink suggestions or food recommendations. read more

I don't ever really crave burgers. I feel like there are so many different forms of meat, starch, and veg that surpass it in terms of creativity and flavor. But ever since I stumbled upon Burger Antics' menu of assorted meaty creations, I started to question the integrity of that idea. Tonight we tested its merits. The space is smaller than anticipated, with an open floor area in the front and a small bar by the kitchen. There is a plethora of bottles on the wall, hinting at the wide variety of alcoholic beverages offered. It seems to be fairly popular with families but that doesn't leave you feeling like you're at Chuck E Cheese's when accompanied by the 90s folk punk coursing through the air. After being a bit overwhelmed by the menu, I ordered the slider plate with the PBJ, Hotter than Hell, and Midland. The slider entree doesn't come with fries but my companions ordered full size burgers and were happy to share considering their gargantuan size. (Are you at a gastropub if the burger isn't as large as your head? Really?) The cook on the burgers was consistent, they were well seasoned, and the texture was pleasing, but the additional flavors were a bit underwhelming. The buns are soft with enough girth to hold together amidst the imminent juicy ravaging they will be subject to. They absord the juices very well without breaking apart. Fries are crispy and not too greasy with a great home ketchup that has a taste similar a sweet cooked salsa. I would buy a bottle. The Midland and Hotter than Hell were okay, I think that the caramelized onions in the Midland overpowered the cheese, and the HtH's spice was dulled to a tepid twinge due to the thick avocado slice placed underneath the spicy mayo and jalapeno peppers. Maybe that was intentional, but I like things spicy. The PBJ though.....that PBJ......I don't think I've had a better burger at a restaurant before. I LOVE peanut butter, and it feels like this was made specifically for me. I mean, there was a literal melty blob posed perfectly for consumption, just waiting for me to get my hands and face greasy. I can't sing its praises enough. If you even remotely enjoy peanut butter, get this. Or don't and I'll order another one. My companions were very happy with the extensive selection of alcohol. I don't drink and can't speak to its quality but they recommended it based on their experience. I also ordered the special dessert, tres leches, to go. The portion is generous and it was light and moist, a lovely treat to enjoy after the carnage settled and my food baby stopped kicking. I will definitely be coming back to try their mac n' cheese.....with a PBJ slider. read more

2nd time here, i'm still speechless! Absolutely the best burgers in our area! Homemade ketchup is delicious.... all of their homemade sauces are mouthwatering!! They offer Gluten free options, vegan options, and cook the burgers perfectly everytime. They have a huge whiskey & beer menu. When I say huge, they're menu is only 4 pages and there are drinks on 2 1/2. Hey at least I got a gluten free zombie killer, which is absolutely amazing! Heavy metal & burgers just goes... kept me nice & calm&chilled the entire time. They've found a way of installing small sound proofing panels though so it doesn't get too loud in this little area. The wait can be long but it's well worth it. I'm almost sad i'm so stuffed.... if I could spend the night with their food I would! Lol Their burgers are too die for! Cooked to perfection, melts in your mouth. We had gotten 3 medium, & 1 medium well, and let me tell you those bad boys didn't disappoint. They have every mix you can imagine with the make your own. Otherwise just customize one of the options they already have. Thankfully they had gluten free, because I was craving it & they fulfilled that craving Cause they're so busy, service could've been better.....1st time was awesome compared to today, but we came during the busy dinner hour. read more

I was so excited to eat here, we walked in, the place had a great vibe. A blond waitress welcomed us with the friendliest smile. My daughter ordered a burger with an egg on it , I don't remember the name, she ordered it medium well as I did , brown on the outside pink in the middle. I ordered Buff n Stuff medium well , my burger was red raw I cut it in half. I told the waitress and she said oh maybe I should have explained how burgers are cooked . I let the waitress know that I am aware of the cooking differences and I let her know, that my burger should have been brown on the outside pink in the middle not red. She offered to take the burger back and cook it again. ( Normally you get a new burger, not at Burger Antic) . She brought the same burger back out, one half was cooked better. The waitress asked if it was better ? The half I bit into was cooked better. However when I went to bit into the other half it was still raw. I felt sick to my stomach all night. I was very disappointed how this was handled . We were not offered and apology or a new burger or a discount for giving me raw meat. This can be dangerous. Patrons make sure you cut into your burger before you takw a bite bite or you or children can get ill as I am feeling right now. read more

Great food, very good service and decent ambiance. The prices were a bit high but hey what isn't now days. I will visit again.

Great selection of beers and yummy burgers? Couldn't ask for anything more perfect on a Friday afternoon. The smoked Gouda in my Hotter Than Hell burger really hit the spot. It was definitely a super satisfying spicy bite. read more

Burger Antics - Goose Island Born and Raised Cream Ale - Burgers Near Me - Brookfield, Illinois

Not your basic burger joint! This place has all kinds of creative burgers and a bar besides (my date noted that it's four pages into the menu before you actually get to the food!), with local art on the walls and movies playing on three screens (in our case, "Raiders of the Lost Ark." I have seen it a million times, but that doesn't make the melting-face Nazi scene any more appealing over lunch...). We started out with the 'shrooms stuffed with goat cheese, onion and roasted garlic. Very yummy, but you may not want to fill up because your entree has yet to come... We both got the trio of sliders, which included the Buff N' Stuff, Black N' Blue, Mushroom Swiss and the Peanut Butter, Jelly and Bacon. We both agreed that the Buff N' Stuff (buffalo sauce, blue cheese and bacon) was the most flavorful (but one end of my bacon strip was totally underdone, like not even browned :/) However, you didn't really get the taste of the meat; it was serving more as a vehicle for the toppings. This was rectified in the Black n' Blue, which involved blue cheese, frizzled onions and supposedly cajun spices; the menu warns that it "packs a punch," but I didn't detect any superpowered spices. This one did have a focus on the meat with the other flavors complementing it. I had the Mushroom Swiss, which had the good umami flavors from the grilled white mushrooms, but I couldn't even see any cheese on it? This one was less exciting than I expected. My companion's last slider was the Peanut Butter, Bacon and Jelly; he said that most of the jelly slid out at the beginning, so the structure of this one wasn't really successful. He said that the flavors were interesting but after a while it just seems like piling more stuff on the burger just for the sake of it. If you want something unusual, though, this is it! We also ordered a side of fries to share, expecting a modest pile, but we received a boatload that we couldn't remotely finish! Our waitress was friendly and alert and also gave me an "Antics Revolution" pin since she saw all the buttons on my bag ;) People are definitely in the know about this place, because it was quite crowded and it's not too big! So get there early! So if you're tired of the same old thing, check out Burger Antics for some creative dishes! read more

My trusty Yelp app worked yet again!!! I had a business meeting in the area, so that is how I found Burger Antics on the Yelp app. It already has great stars/reviews so that's what drove me there. As well as their partnership with the arts (feature a local artist for the month) and donation for every burger of the week (see their website for deets). And I must say, it was one of the best burgers I've ever had! Check the specialty sodas menu before you order a basic coke or pepsi, please!!! You can get those brands anywhere!!! They have some really fun stuff. I had the sarsaparilla which is basically root beer, but much stronger of a root beer flavor. The burger of the week not only sounded awesome, but I wanted to get that buck donation over to the Exclusive Peaks Foundation (who's mission is to create outdoor classrooms in order to reconnect students to nature and their community by rehabilitating the endangered monarch butterfly population) how cool is that?! My food: it was SO GOOD. Everything is house made with the exception of the bun. Burger of the week was calle The Dillhole. Yeah, try ordering that with a male server and two make coworkers, boss included. I didn't care, I just said it. From the servers comment back, most people were saying "burger of the week" instead of "dillhole". I ain't scurred! Gimme the Dillhole! The patty was great, the combination of the havarti and avocado creamy and the pickled onions were absolutely wonderful. I choose the coleslaw as my side and I'm glad that I did, it was so delicious and fresh! I asked the server about it because it was so different. It's like an in-betweener of the vinegar based slaw and creamy. Definitely put this place on high rotation if you're a local and definitely stop by if you are passing through! They also have an extensive whiskey/bourbon, etc. menu! read more

The burger I had here was easily in my top 5 (if not top 3) best burgers I have ever had. I know that is a bold statement, but the burger was THAT good. It was the burger of the week and called the "Bite my ass burger" It had the juicest and most flavorful patty topped with pulled pork. (I know you are drooling) It also came with homemade giardiniera. The fries were even amazing. I am not from the area, but I know I will find my way back to this place just for another burger. Side note - we started with the wings and they were GIANT and also very good. read more

Great food and drinks! Every time we go we have a great time, don't forget the appetizer too!

I love B.A., and the husband loves it even more. Yet, with their price point we definitely don't hit it up as much as we want. $29 for two burgers and fries for a pick up is on the high side. At any rate, their veggie burger is still tasty and the husband's 4 cheese is to die for. Or so he says as he clutches his chest midst food heart attack. I only wish they used more avocado on my black bean Hotter than Hell the last couple of times. Also, I feel as if I get penalized as a veg head as my fries are always burnt! Always! Yet, my husband's are always in pristine, fresh condition. At any rate, we still enjoy Burger Antics on rare occasions. Their homemade ketchup gets better and better every time I taste it! The brined pickle is great, also. read more

Everyone raves about the burgers I don't .Average to better would be my description Priced high for a "Gourmet " burger In my opinion

Great burgers. Great beer. Great atmosphere! Came in for dinner and drinks with a friend and sat at the bar. Stacey took great care of us. I got the peanut butter and jelly burger. The best burger I've had in Chicago. Even better than the Au Cheval burger . Maybe I'm biased when anything has peanut butter, but this burger was darn good. So juicy and perfectly cooked. The pretzel bun was perfect. Fries were great too. Especially with their house made ketchup and house made ranch. Also had the peanut butter beer. Not as great as the burger but very unique and smooth. Highly recommended! read more

Was hit with a random craving for a juicy burger, and burger antics really delivered! We ordered a mushroom swiss beef burger and built our own black bean burger with pepper jack, frizzled onions (A MUST!), avocado, and chipotle mayo. I can honestly say the black bean burger was the best burger I've ever had! This is particularly surprising to me because I am usually a meat person! It was moist which I like in my black bean burgers, and the patty was very substantial. The beef burger was delicious as well and really rich in flavor. I will say their temperature chart runs a little on the undercooked side as their medium-well is what I would consider a perfect medium! I will definitely be back to try their other menu options! read more

Great Burgers and very friendly staff. The whiskey and bourbon selection is quite extensive as well
