I won't lie: I have driven by "The Baron" maybe 500+ times, and nearly every time I drive by, I swear I'm going to get a burger there sometime next week. Fast forward to the now, and last week I really did go to eat lunch there. And I'll give it this much: if you need to spend $11.60 on a burger, fries and a cup of water, there are many, many worse options out there. The Baron reminds me of Chopper's on Ashland Avenue; it's not date night material, but it is "I'm getting lunch with two guys from work to talk about the game last night" material. The burger was good (not great; and, it's cooked medium well to make sure nobody gets diseased on the thing) and the fries come out perfect, hot and plentiful...I couldn't even finish the half-pound burger plus all of these fries. There is free parking and service was pretty quick. And the booths are clean enough, especially if you are in your blue-collar work clothes (I'm not sure you want to wear your white linen suit here). I'm not sure if this will be in my rotation, but this exceeded expectations for sure! read more

I've been to Burger Baron twice now, and unfortunately both visits have been disappointing. I was really hoping this would become one of my regular lunch spots since I now work in the neighborhood, but after two tries I'm not sure I'll be back. The first time I ordered the Philly steak, and there was so little meat on it that I actually checked my order again to make sure I hadn't accidentally ordered some kind of veggie sandwich. Definitely would not order that again. On my second visit I tried the hot dog. It was just okay, but I asked for everything on it and somehow it came without tomato, mustard, pickle, or celery salt. Basically I got some onion and relish. I gave the place a second chance because I really wanted to find a good local lunch spot, but two visits and two disappointing meals is probably enough for me. read more

This is a good fast food spot with Chicago classics. You can get a burger, beef, or pizza pocket. I'm also a fan of the Greek chicken wraps. Parking lot on grand ave is a plus. read more

I love this place whenever I want a good burger or hotdogs. The service is also good, the staff are nice and professional. The place looks clean too and they have comfortable seats. Especially if you're going out to eat alone during your work lunch time. I really enjoy their food and coffee. Totally recommend, better than most popular fast food restaurants and chain coffee shops. read more

Very surprised. This place is highly underrated. I got a chili dog w/ onions. Everything was so fresh and delicious. I also tried the buffalo chicken sandwhich - again everything from the bun to the lettuce and onions were fresh! Would recommend! read more

Burgers are just average, fries were pretty good. The cream of rice chicken soup was excellent. Plan on stopping again when I'm in the neighborhood, but would not go out of my way to eat here. read more

Service is excellent. Hot food snd cold drinks brought to your table with courtesy and speed! A nice big TV in the dining area and ample booths! Fast, fresh, hearty and delicious food! read more

Perfect gyro. This restaurant is truly consistent with great service and quality chicago style food. I hope this place never changes. Long live the Baron! read more

No frills, quick service, good food. The burgers are huge. I'm a fan of the gryos. Friendly staff.

Ordered the Greek salad with chicken... This was the blandest most underwhelming chicken I've ever tasted... I think I had what 2 olives??? What a joke.. read more

BB has been a reliably excellent Chicago-style food establishment for decades. I can personally attest to 13 years of big, juicy, delicious burgers; crispy, perfectly salted fries; fast, friendly service. There are a bevy of options for your breakfast, lunch, or dinner, but my personal favorite is the 1/3rd charbroiled burger. It's a generously sized patty: cooked to perfection by the seasoned staff, juicy without overwhelming the bun, and flavorful with or without condiments. I like to get a swirl cone on summer afternoons; during which time you'll most likely encounter a line. But it's always worth it. read more

Food is fabulous!! Great menu and they offer curbside drop-off. Very extensive menu with awesome milkshakes! read more

1. They charge you for credit card processing and don't mention it anywhere. Thanks for charging me to give you money. Scumbags. 2. Screwed up my order, so I came back in and explained situation. Huffy and puffy moron that made it acted like I ordered the wrong thing, not he screwed the pooch. 3. Gave me the chicken gyro, and plated my food for another woman. Gross!!!! read more

Over priced low quality burgers for being the baron of burgers this meat is not appetizing however, it is cooked over an open flame. The meat just doesn't shine through. I've tried this restaurant several times, giving it a fair chance. Please do not go here. read more

This place is awesome, went there for lunch after reccomendation from coworker and was not disappointed. The prices are perfect and the portions were even better. read more

We love this place. Whether we need a greasy breakfast sandwich or find ourselves too tired to cook or order takeout we call and pop over here for a chicken pita or an Emergency Hotdog. One time they even let me buy a bag of pita off them because I forgot it at the grocery store and had guests coming. A real gem of a place read more

The burgers are huge, fresh and delicious. They are also kind of expensive, but you're paying for the quality. Not much more to say about this classic joint. Old school atmosphere, and at least on my visits, friendly service. The parking lot in bag is a huge bonus for an easy in & out lunch break. read more

It is a must stop when we come to visit our son. We have tried the burgers, Chicago beef and the gyros. All were very good. The gyro was one of the best we have ever had. The fries were excellent, crispy and hot. The place was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Great place to try. read more

So I have been here twice both times about 7:30am on a weekday before going to work. The first time I really wanted a burger for breakfast so I stopped in for a cheeseburger & fries. It's a step up above fast food and thats about it. The burger lacked flavor and was needing salt & pepper to make it ok, fries were fine. Second time I had an omelette. About the same quality as the burger, overcooked eggs with some basic ingredients, potatoes were ok. So this place has been around for a long time, like when there was no residential around the area and you fed the working class any shift. Would I come here for the quality of food? No. But I would go back because I can get a burger at 7:30am. I do think the prices are a touch high for what you get. read more

Burger Baron Restaurant - A burger & fries at 8am!! Sometimes you just need it! - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I live across the street, so I eat here pretty often. Have tried a lot of the food and have really enjoyed it!! There are so many things on the menu. The employees are super friendly and bring the food to your table. Service always seems to be pretty quick. Also the AC is always nice and blasting which has been great during this heat. Only taking one star off because it is just a little bit overpriced for what you get. read more

First time ordering from this place always heard great things about this legendary fast food place and extremely disappointed on the small size of gyro plate and fried mushrooms will never order from this place again ‼‼‼ 10 fried mushrooms for 3.50 35 cents a shroom wow !

Burger Baron Restaurant - Just arrived haven't eaten anything and feeling disappointed - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

In short, this establishment is highly unprofessional. I placed an order for one of my employees for delivery, I provided detailed information. In addition, I personally called the restaurant to ensure they understood the directions. My employee had to wait over an hour for food that ultimately never came. When I called the restaurant for an explanation, I received Zero explanation. They didn't come through on their end, but they had no problem charging my card. I expect a full refund by the end of the week. read more

Burger was good cooked medium rare as I asked, but the cheese dog...how do you screw that up? Just melt the cheese. Cheese fries were a little light. Worth a second shot read more

I arrive at 12:15 not too busy ordering a burger no cheese no onion well done. It took over 25 minutes and the place wasn't that busy when I got there. I watch the guy put the lettuce, ketchup, mustard tomato on the bun. and now he just getting everyone else orders together who came in after me. .finally I said where's my burger and fries he said you requested well done. Then some woman came and gave me my order. 25 minutes well done it looks pretty red to me. read more

Burger Baron Restaurant - a close up of a sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

They are down the street from my office, and every time someone from corporate comes in, they want to go to Burger Baron! They have amazing burgers...really good! Though they take a while, their pork-chop sandwich is fantastic, AND they have sweet potato fries which are great. The menu is too big to be "great" but none of the food I had was ever bad. If one were to draw a caricature of a Chicago city "joint" to replace "The Billy Goat" it would be Burger Baron. It's a fun atmosphere. The famous writer "James Joyce" used to remark about the Catholic Church meaning..."here comes everybody" I think the same could be said of Burger Baron! Fun place to eat. read more

Zero stars. gainst my best judgment I decided to get food from this place. On top of the cashier not knowing items on his own menu. They mis-fired my order and I sat like a schmuck as two customers ordered and received their orders before mine. When I finally stood up to inquire I saw the staff hurriedly warm up my potatoes in the microwave and throw them into my to-go box. Even if drunk, do not come here. Plus even for the $12 I spent on a chicken dinner, I could've done magnitudes better at McDonald's. read more

Just got the Greek Chicken wrap 2 days in a row. Everything in it is so fresh and the chicken is nicely grilled. Highly recommend adding extra feta and ordering extra greek vinaigrette on the side. Split pea soup was bomb and French fries & mozzarella sticks both very good. Walked in yesterday, delivery today. Nice and clean inside and ordering delivery straight from their site was easy and came fast. Staff was also nice including delivery guy. Free parking in the back and affordably priced. read more

$17.77 for a Philly cheesesteak with no meat all peppers, onion and cheese. Tables are falling apart, place is a dump!

So having lived in this area my whole life and driven by this place a couple hundred times, my sister and I finally decided to check it out. The burgers were huge and cooked to order (surprising) but the ratio of cheese to meat was saddening - the cheese was undetectable. Also, for some reason the burger just tasted kinda weird to me - maybe it wasn't seasoned enough or it was previously frozen, I'm not really sure but I will not be ordering another one ever again. Maybe I'm just a bit of a burger snob. (Leona's makes fabulous ones on super fresh pretzel rolls!) The sweet potato fries were pretty tasty but needed some salt and the regular fries were pretty good as well. read more

The workers here are plain ole rude. I've been here three times and have consistently gotten unneeded attitude from the order takers. I just don't understand why. Decent food but bad, very bad service. read more

Meh, average shitty burger place. Nothing special about it, not good or really terrible. A little expensive for no reason and they don't use poppyseed buns for the hotdogs for some reason. Also, they seem to be open or closed whenever they feel like it. It could be a Wednesday at 3pm and they're closed for some reason read more

Big menu and no frills. Food was pretty good. I ordered hotdogs and was disappointed they did not come with peppers even though I ordered them with "everything". Fries were tasty and served in abundant quantity. Decor is pretty interesting. A million years ago, this was a fried-chicken place and it was fun trying to pick out what was original and what was newer. I'm sure the white-with-black tile partition walls date to the original construction. Big seating area for such a small place which is good since I'm sure they do a big lunchtime business during the week. read more

Stopped in for lunch. Ordered a cream of chicken rice soup & this soup tasted really good. It was a big portioned bowl of soup and heck, I could've just had that and would've been satisfied. But what grabbed my attention was that they have a chicken gyro served up like the regular gyro. Yes i said a chicken gyro. I've not seen this anywhere else. This is a1st and its your regular gyro but with chicken. It taste lighter obviously & had all the fixins as the regular gyro which by the way they also have. I found me a new place for gyros and its been here for a long time. On the corner of Noble and Grand. The fries were a little disappointing because they were a tad bit shy of being burnt. But other than that, there is s large menu, the prices are very good and there is enough seating in the dining area to comfortably enjoy whatever meal you choose. read more

still hate this place yet we often eat there at my workplace so I get the one thing I find palatable; the chicken gyros salad. One time I decided to deviate and tried a fish sandwich; it was freezer burned! Disgusting! I had to throw it out and go to McDonald's for a better fish sandwich! (pathetic). Also, why don't they clean/update the disgusting looking place? read more

This place sucks. The food wasn't great and they complety screwed up our order. But the kicker was how shitty they acted when we just wanted it right. So if I ever go back(which I probably won't)I'm going to treat their staff like shit. What comes around goes around. Do yourself a favor and avoid this spot. read more
