In town on business and just happen to drive by this establishment. I was hungry so I stopped in for a Chicago style dog, best I've had in serval years! Great place can't wait to come back and try the burgers and sliders (and everything else). read more

I remember coming here when I was 10 yrs old. I am 27 and all I can say is this place never disappoints! Their burgers are sooooo good!! The patties are nice and juicy! Wings are great as well! And also awesome customer service! Keep up the great job guys! read more

The day after the Cubs won the World Series, my colleagues at work were in the mood for a lunch that celebrated Chicago. A few restaurants with Mid-West roots were suggested, but Chicago Hamburger Company was the nearly unanimous choice. Orders were taken and one guy was dispatched to stand in line. I understand there's usually a wait here because they get busy. This lunch happened to coincide with their free slider promotion. The owner pledged to serve 2,016 free sliders if the Cubs won it all. Normally, that would seem a safe bet based on their performance over the last century. Incidentally, Chicago Hamburger Co. had a similar promo when the White Sox won their title 11 years ago. I can respect that. After standing in line (see photo below) for approximately 45 minutes, the order was taken and turned around very quickly. I selected a regular slider, a double cheese slider and some garlic fries. Both burgers were grilled with onions. And the fries were seasoned and served with a generous portion of minced garlic. Now that I think about it, this may not be the best place to take a date... Free or not, the sliders are awesome. I'm looking forward to trying some other items on the menu, such as a regular burger or a Chicago Dog. The only difference will be, I will be eating it there. read more

Was craving a hot dog and this place did not disappoint! I got a hot dog, zucchini fries and a milk shake- everything was delicious. Definitely recommend not skipping the milkshake. Hand made old fashioned style and so so good. read more

Knock you out of the ballpark food! Had their famous delicious windy city sliders with cheese ($1.40 each great price). Kinda like white castle but bigger. Banana shake was off the hook made with homemade ice cream. Left it in car with 99 degree heat and took forever to melt. So that's how you know it's og. Wifee had chicken sandwhich with guac. And the garlic fries are too die for! And their homemade chili was off the chain...highly recommended for east coast people if your homesick. I approve. read more

This place is a neighborhood gem where locals and workers all have the most wonderful food cooked up like the old days (with heart). There's an extensive menu and you can order for catering as well. It's a slice of Chicago complete with vintage pictures, newspapers and signs on the walls. They are abiding by the new restrictions in place and have reconfigured their dining room. This is a friendly spot to dine in or out. read more

Unfortunately will not be returning. I do wish it was different but it won't be. I had lunch here after skipping breakfast. Place is great and customer service is wonderful. Sadly the food did not meet those same expectations. Few hours later my stomach started to hurt and then came the part I did not expect. Many many visits to bathroom. Just be careful when eating here. It might happen to you. read more

Food was good! Tried the garlic fries and OMG the best! Let me not forget to say the chocolate banana milk shake was AMAZING!! Definitely recommend read more

Chicago Hamburger - Burgers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Very cool place when you walk in. The service is really good and employees are very well trained, polite and helpful. Would definitely return. The sliders are really good and the only reason for not giving 5 stars is they forgot to put cheese on one of my sliders but I was already home. The hots dogs are a little thin but overall they are pretty good. Would go back for milkshake and sliders! read more

I absolutely love this place me & my husband have been coming here for over 10 years. The food is always fresh and my favorite is there fried zucchini. I 100% recommended this place read more

Although the place looked promising, food was not really good. I ordered online and arrived when it said it should be ready. There is only one line for everything, which was long. Once I finally got up there to pickup my food, it had been sitting and the garlic fries were very soggy and not really edible at that point, not to mention bland. There needs to be a separate line for pickup order so we can get our food as fresh as possible to avoid that; or just don't offer online ordering at all. Maybe your experience will be better than mine. read more

Great chicken sandwich I always get a side of wing sauce to make it even better. They also have the best french fries in Phoenix, sliders aren't bad either Thanks Bob read more

I'm from Chicago so to have a small taste of Chicago here in Az is amazing The staff is extremely friendly, the place is always clean. The food is always good can't go wrong with a Vienna hot dog.

Ok so I was looking for a Chicago style hamburger/cheeseburger and someone recommended this place. A little hole in the wall but the hamburger I had was pretty good the taste brought back childhood memories because of the taste and the ambience is straight Chicago, only knock I have was I didn't tell them to cook the cheese burger well done but like I said it was MY fault. I will bring the wife and kid here and let them see how they like it. Thanks for the recommendation. I recommend this place. If you guys check Yelp keep up the great work. read more

I've been coming to Chicago Hamburger​ Co since I was a kid and this place does not disappoint. This is not fancy food, but it's good food. The sliders are tasty...the Chicago dogs are perfect (Vienna beef...neon green relish.... sport peppers.... perfection). The garlic fries are INSANE! Sooooo much garlic. They even have root beer floats. Prices are reasonable, two people could easily eat here for under 20$. Try this little piece of Chicago in Phoenix....you won't be sorry! read more

Solid burgers. But what really stood out was the banana shake. The texture and thickness were spot on. I also really liked the interior space. It has a worn, vintage look to it, complete with a Mrs. Pacman arcade game in the corner. read more

Darn good sliders. And the burgers to boot. Fries are yum and a banana shake simple and true to form. It's a landmark of Phoenix--came here with my Dad and just took my son after a HOT day of football in the sun. Great place for a quick casual bite! read more

Here I go again... on the search for a good hotdog spot to get my chili dog and fried food fix. My chili dog was pipping hot, so that was a good start because apparently that is hard to find. The chili leaned more on the tomato sweet side and that is not my preference, but it was good. I ordered onion rings and I think they were beer battered style, again, not my preference but they were okay. The hubby got his normal dog with mustard and ketchup and was pleased, but felt like the pricing was too high. He also ordered cheese fries and they came out undercooked and unsalted. I also think they should put the cheese on the side, so the fries don't get soggy. I'm still on the look out for a good chili dog I don't have to drive 30 mins to. read more

Best burgers in Phoenix for a long long time. Run well, good staff. Great atmosphere. Wish I still lived closer.

I live right down the street and love making the quick trip for their delicious chili fries and hotdogs. The price point for the food is great! I also really love their garlic fries. The staff is always so friendly as well. read more

Great food. Great service. Great value. These folks seem to have a lot of fun doing what they do, and it shows up in their consistently great burgers, dogs, and fries (get them extra crispy -- just sayin'). Enjoy! read more

I loveee this place! I am from Chicago so it's nice to have a taste, look and feel of home and this place definitely offers it. Their sliders are the best! Probably a good thing I don't live closer. read more

I've been coming here since i was 3 years old. it's delicious and i've loved it and asked for it my whole childhood. i've never had a mediocre meal and assumed they had an off day. the quality is consistently so good. i still love it so much, this place has my heart read more

Some of the best sliders and chili cheese fries in the Valley. Get in there and try what they have to offer.

Okay, if you're a fan of Chicago anything, this is your spot. You could honestly spend all day here and still find something new to look at. The owner obviously misses his hometown but he found a way to bring it to Phoenix and he does it with a smile. We tried both the Chicago sliders and the Chicago dog. The sliders were okay but probably nothing I'd order again. They come in the White Castle style and I'm sure those who grew up eating that get a sense of nostalgia with them, but I grew up in SoCal with In n Out, so hey....moving on to the Chicago Dog. It was honestly one of the best I've had. So delicious and authentic with the poppy seed bun, bright green relish, sport peppers, etc. I would definitely return to have another one of those along with the fries, which were pretty darn good themselves. read more

Nothing says "Happy Valentine's Day" like coating your heart with grease. BACKGROUND --------------------- I wanted to eat. And eat good. I had been studying all day and decided to treat myself to a good local meal, and so I decided after years of driving right past it, tonight was going to be night I finally had Thai Lanha. However, life had other plans. For I forgot it was Valentine's Day. Plus a Saturday. Of a 3-day weekend. I got to Thai Lanha, hungry and anticipatory, only to see a crowd of around 30 people hovering at the door, still waiting to be seated. Bah. Dejected, I drove out of the parking lot, noticing some random pooch place called Frou-Frou Puppie (?) as I left. Who names something like that? Anyway, as I sat at the intersection of 38th and Indian School, glum and starving, I looked at what was straight ahead of me: Chicago Hamburger Company. It was like a homing beacon, with me as its target.The sign seemed to suddenly brighten and emit heavenly sunbeams. French bugles played and angelic voices went "aaaaaah!" and....ok, not really. But I did automatically start driving across Indian School instead of turning right or left. Screw Thai food and people looking into each other's eyes while they pine for each other and a stick of chicken satay. It was burger time. SETTING ------------- An uber-casual, frill-less, order at the counter burger joint. A scratched up Ms. Pac-Man greets you upon your entrance. Pinball. Chicago sports and city shwag blanket the walls. One section of wall, however, is dedicated to photos of people wearing CHC t-shirts as they tour the planet. Standing in front of Matterhorn Mountain? Yes. The Taj Mahal? Sure. Within the jungles of southeast Asia? Why not? These CHC denizens sure get around. Also, there are booths and plastic tables. A flat-screen showing sports. A condiment stand with pumps for ketchup and yellow mustard, plus Tabasco and Worcestershire. Condiments make me happy. I'm a simple man. FOOD -------- Menu includes really cheap sliders, plus regular-sized burgers. Also, fries. Chili fries. Chili cheese fries. Or just cheese fries. Your pick. Onion rings. Hot dogs. Chili dogs. Milkshakes. And Frito pie. Yes. I said Frito pie. But don't let Frito pie freak you out, for there are also healthier options: turkey burgers, broiled chicken breast sandwiches, etc. Maybe even veggie burgers (but don't quote me on that). That said, I didn't see one person eating a healthier option in there. I guess that's as common of a sight as seeing someone eating apple slices at McDonald's. I had: * One cheese slider with the works (cheese, brown mustard, onions). I've never been privy to this phenomenon known as White Castle so I don't really have a prototype to compare sliders to, but what I do know is that this slider tasted great. Well done for something so tiny. * A southwestern burger (w/ grilled onions, cheddar, bbq sauce, onion rings, two strips of sizzle). Did I just gross you out? I'll admit, the southwestern burger is a giant cosmos of gluttony wrapped in a bun. And that combination of ingredients would usually churn not the best of things in my stomach, but maybe that's my fault, not the poor burger's.Truth is, it was still a good burger, and it wasn't all that big or massively stacked (and thus impossible to eat with half the stuff falling out of the bun). Probably won't order it again, though. I'll just call it my Valentine's Day special. * Basket of regular fries. Fries were crisp , tasty and not greasy. Not much else to say there. ANY NEGATIVES? ------------------------- * Hours could be more friendly to late-night noshing. They close at 8. Stay open later, people! Come on. Even to 9 or 10 would be fine. I think a lot of the older establishments just simply haven't adjusted to the fact that Phoenix isn't a little sleepy town any more. SO, YOU'D RECOMMEND IT? ----------------------------------------- * Sure thing. CBC is a good, super-casual, frill-less but wallet-friendly burger joint. There is no hip Delux-like atmosphere here. Or even a pseudo-50's Johnny Rockets vibe. Just a joint that pays homage to Chicago and makes no-fuss food. ANYTHING ELSE? ------------------------ * I know. My date for Valentine's Day was a slider, a burger, and fries (not to mention I forgot it was Valentine's Day). And I know. If you're a girl, you just went "lame" in your head followed by other fond terms of affection. But that's ok. For there was a little love in your eyeroll. I felt it. ------- About 3.75 stars (round up to 4) read more

CHC is a valley institution. I've been a happy customer since I was a kid. Bob the owner is always happy to see you and is a great guy. At CHC the sliders are the stars of the show. Get several and be a happy camper. Also don't miss their shakes and fried zucchini. read more

Life on a budget often dictates my taste. When my now-former boyfriend would come home with a sack of Windy City Sliders, my excitement would be so pronounced that I'd be horrified at my own gluttony. My inner fat guy knows what's up and what's up is two people eating four oversized sliders for around seven bucks (including drinks). The rolls are fluffy and good, the meat is flavorful, I come here if I'm in the east Phoenix area nearly every visit. They also have one of the loosest stuffed animal crane games I've ever played. I enjoy emasculating my male companions by winning them a stupid plush toy, sometimes two. read more

I am a carnivore. There, I said it! I love burgers!! So of course when I drove by Chicago Hamburger Co. on my first week here in Phoenix I said "note to self......MUST try this place!". Today marks my second week here in Phoenix and after a long week at my new job, I was hungry. I picked up my daughter and we headed over. First off if you are from Chicago or love Chicago, this is your place! It is filled with memorabilia from the Windy City. There are all sorts of street signs and things pertaining to Chicago plastered on the walls. It's pretty cool. They have two TV's and of course they had the Cubs playing on one of them! Go Cubs!! I like the sports like ambience. It's nothing fancy at all, just basic tables and chairs and a few booths. Now for the food.......Mmmmm good burger! I had a wester burger. For you fans of Carl's Jr. Western Bacon Cheeseburger....oh man, this one is far better!! Real bacon right off the grill and cooked just right, nice and crisp, bbq sauce, cheese, and onion rings to top it off. The burger was juicy and cooked just right!! It was one of the best burgers I've had in awhile. My daughter had a hot dog and scarfed it down and gave it a thumbs up so I knew it was good. The onion rings were nice and crisp and I liked the batter they used. Not super greasy either. Nice! The fries where crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside...perfect! They have Pepsi and the other usual sodas. They also make milkshakes. I'll have to try one next time. Oh, and chili cheese fries......omg....I love those! All in all this is gonna be one of my go to places here in Phoenix. YUM!!! read more

Love everything I've ever had here- 99% of the time it's the Chicago dog. Best ones I've found in Phoenix for sure! Plus it's a cool authentic hole in the wall with fun people behind the counter. read more

I've been here dozens and DOZENS of times over the last 25 years. 5 stars without a doubt. Standouts are the Italian beef with "lots o hot". Their cheese fries are absolute perfection... here's why. Put fries in a basket, smother them with cheese sauce, put another hand full of fries in basket, SMOTHER AGAIN WITH CHEESE SAUCE. When you are done with these cheese fries you are looking for more fries for the cheese, not more cheese for the fries. Then, when you walk out, school girls and boys break into song and birds start chirping. Oh, I have to mention the cheese steak. I don't like the standard way they do it (beef, onions, cheese) BUT if you ask for it "Philly Style" they do it with their cheese sauce that they add extra cheddar cheese to. Yum yum yum. read more

This place is the bomb.com. I love the Cubbies so it is hard not to love this place, which is a real slice of Chicago. Their sliders are fantastic, and their fries are like little potato pillows of heaven. Dear lawd! read more

This place is bomb.com!! I got the Chicago dog with the peppers. Really friendly place too!

I was lucky to grow up on 38th St, because I had this classic burger joint at the end of my block. Whenever I go back home to see my old man, I always stop in to grab a real taste of Chicago. To this day, they still got it! I recently visited Chicago (the city) for the first time on St. Patty's weekend. I was amazed when I felt right at home, must have been all those lunches as a kid at The Chicago Hamburger Co. Put me down for 3 double cheese sliders... Thanks Bob! read more

Great spot for authentic Chicago sliders in Phoenix. I have been coming here for many years but have not been here in a long time. Same great quality food fast friendly service. If you're missing Chicago style food you have to hit this place up read more

Chicago Hamburger - Double sliders with cheese and onion only - Burgers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Not Worth the Drive for a Chicago Style Dog... I had a craving for a serious Chicago Style Vienna Beef Hotdog. I searched for options on the internet, and read reviews for various places around town. Places way out in Mesa and Gilbert were an awful long haul for me, especially since one can never be sure how the reviews will actually stack up against the reality once you arrive and try the food. So I decided to make the relatively short drive over to the Chicago Hamburger Company. I had my first Chicago Style Vienna Beef Hotdog in Chicago, back in about 1986. I love the "pop" when you bite into the hotdog, and the flavors of the relish, peppers, and other ingredients that make a Chicago Style Hotdog what it is - especially with Vienna Beef inside. I have repeated the experience in Chicago over the years, and when living in the Minnesota, I found great places to go to relive those experiences. Fast forward to Arizona. I've had experiences that were close, but not quite there. I arrived at Chicago Hamburger Company hoping for the real deal. Even as indicated in the ratings, this is not a place to go for pleasant ambiance. It is strictly you order food at the window, they make food, you take it with you, or sit at a fairly clean table to eat it. No frills, just hopefully, the taste you came to enjoy. The menu was straightforward. There was no line, so I ordered my Chicago Style dog, and because they might be interesting, garlic fries. My food was brought to me pretty quickly at the table I had chosen by the front windows. I was glad I had gotten there when I did, because a line had formed, and was getting longer by the second. The fries were loaded with garlic, which is a good thing, but the fries were so heavy and greasy that after eating two, I had to toss them. Good idea, but way too heavy. My Chicago Style Dog had all of the right ingredients, including the poppy seed bun. The hot dog, however, lacked flavor and there was no "pop" biting into it. I'm guessing that the hot dog sat in hot water for too long, and that the flavors were leached out and the texture compromised. For all the great toppings, that Chicago Style Dog was a bust. I ate it, but the experience was disappointing. They had a sign up proclaiming their home made milkshakes, so I decided to try one to overcome my disappointment. I ordered banana, and only had to wait a couple of moments for it. As I drank it on my way home, I thoroughly enjoyed it, although it didn't quite fill the void left by the disappointing Chicago Style Dog, I'm going to guess they are called" the Chicago Hamburger Company", and not "The Chicago Style Hotdog Company" for a reason... Maybe one day I'll go try a burger - but not another hot dog. read more

The pictures and video say more about this place than I could in a review. It's a great neighborhood burger joint, and I'm happy it's a short walk from home. Everything I've had here is solid for a fast food joint. Once, around the holidays, I ordered their 10 slider deal, and ate them all myself. It was delicious but I hated myself a little after. Trust me when I say two or three are enough for one person. The chicago style dog is my standard here, they get everything right down to the steamed poppy seed bun, the fries that come with it are just average though. I also really enjoy the avocado burger, the grilled onions take it from good to great. I always like the mix of people that go to this place. Feels like the burger joint in the town I grew up in. Last time there was a teenage couple on a date, three elderly gals out for a meal, a married couple with a kid who I might have been annoyed with if he didn't have the cutest little biker jacket with a skull on it, and some guys watching a game on the TVs. read more

Yes! Yesterday I decided to eat whatever I wanted and what do I go do?? Of course I go to a place with Chicago in its name! Being one of those many people in Phoenix from the Chi, I can definitely say that this place has the right stuff! If it were a little more compact and there wasn't a mountain to look at outside, I would almost think that I was back home! But enough about that. Let's get to the food! I had a slider, a 1/3 lb cheddar and some fries. All this was under $10 so the prices get a thumbs up! Flavor-wise, the food kicked my mouth's ass... The slider had me saying, "White Castle, what??" The fries were crispy on the outside and soft/hot on the inside (which is pretty much perfect). Lastly, the burger...oh the burger. Yeah, if you're craving a juicy, cheesy, greasy and all around mouthwatering burger, look no further. Every bite made me take a look at the burger and think of how good it was. It is safe to assume that I'll be back to this place to try more of their food. Next time I'm definitely getting a Chi-town dog! =) read more
