Pretty good smash burger but I could've went without the craft sauce. Just my opinion but still a quality burger place in the neighborhood.

So i saw this spot mentioned on instagram as a top 3 burger so i had to check it out , Glowing in the middle of the Pilsen area this place has a great street appeal , Who doesnt like a Walk up spot , The staff is very friendly and easy to talk to, I ordered the Signature Double Classic Craft Burger Its 2 prime beef patties w American cheese, caramelized onions, pickles, and craft white sauce, , i tried to figure out the sauce, I'm guessing it has a bit of Horseradish in it Nevertheless a good quality burger made to order , comes w fries that seamed freshly cut, and were perfectly seasoned , i also got a Mexican coke which comes in the bottle , My food was delicious , Overall a great experience worthy of a visit read more

I was passing through Pilsen one day and noticed Craft Burger, and tonight I finally got a chance to try it. I'm glad I did! The fries were delicious, and the burger was just as good. The place is super clean, and the staff is very friendly. Overall, a solid burger spot. I will definitely be back. read more

Man what a burger haha I wish I would have gotten the Double Cheeseburger but I wasn't feeling too big back... I did order the Burger (comes with fries, definitely brownie points) and the Deluxe Fries. The way they described the Deluxe Fries were a burger without the bun on top of fries, now how delicious does that sound. The was not mean nor nice, just mid and they did their job. Nothing out of this world. I look forward to showing friends and family this place when they visit! The only thing that would have made this place flawless was outstanding service, which is pretty tough to do when it's only carry out/a walk through joint. Thank you Craft Burger, see you soon! Personal Review: 8.8/10 read more

What a hidden burger spot! Stopped in on New Year's, right next to cup of joe and pollo express. To go order window up front you can't miss. Can also bring your food into cup of joe to eat there but we took it back home. Such a friendly atmosphere too! Greeted and quickly ordered at the window and went back in the car. Went with the double and fries. Burgers had great crisp and cheesy. Buns were so fresh. Fries were also a hit. Feels like they were double fried so crispy! Def worth a stop if you're in Pilsen! read more

Review of: Craft Burger Double - two prime beef patties, Craft sauce, american cheese, pickles, grilled onion Fresh Cut Fries - olive oil, salt and pepper, cumin, herbs Great burger, excellent fries. Crispy edges need work but great flavor overall. Can't go wrong with this classic burger formula. Holy moly, the fries were perfectly crispy and seasoned. Olive oil, cumin, and herbs is above and beyond. Easily top 3 fries in Chitown. Carryout only. read more

One of the best smash burgers here!! And great service! Love the walk up window easy to order

A random find I the Pilsen neighborhood. Pretty good takeout spot for burgers that's walk up style. In my opinion the fries were a little over salted and the burger was a tad bit garlic heavy. I had order the double burger and my friend ordered the single. The service was pretty standard and both burgers came with fries. We paid about 27 bucks for essentially two means which is a steal in my opinion. read more

Very very overrated place Fries and Burgers are good BUT after a few bites the saltiness is guaranteed to overwhelm you . Mac & Cheese is expensive and lacks flavor Service is very slow & also cant dine in . Parking is hard to find as well . Food is very fresh and the Place has a potential to be 5stars but as of now it's definitely very overrated . read more

Burger & Fries are delicious. Cooked to order, hot & fresh! Helpful staff answers questions regarding the menu. read more

This is easily the best burger in the area, walking distance for sure. Quality meat, cheese & toppings with getting fries included was nice for sure. The staff is friendly and thorough. Cashless spot with no seating, just to go orders, read more

I came here to celebrate a special occasion, and it was the perfect choice. The staff went above and beyond to make our evening special, and the food was simply divine read more

The service was friendly and I loved how the cashier explained the menu items to us. I ordered 1 double cheeseburger and 1 deluxe fries. My brothers enjoyed their food and I enjoyed my deluxe fries. The fries were delicious, I don't know what seasoning they used but it tasted like salt n sour chip seasoning. I would have preferred if they chopped the burger like "chopped cheese" style because I had to cut the burger as I ate, but nevertheless the burger was tender and cooked to perfection. Will return for sure. read more

Craft Burger came highly recommended, so I was excited to try their burger. The experience was mixed--the burger had great seasoning. Now the fries could have been better. The fries were black, not sure if it was from the old oil.. Anyway, the burger was great. Will give it a chance again... read more

I patronize Craft Burger 18 and the Coffee joint next door since the winter months. However, I stopped to buy a hot dog and the lady said, "$8.&&! I said. What did you say? $8.&&, For a hot dog!! You're kidding me. No thanks! It comes with fries! I don't want the fries. Well. I'm sorry. I understand that you don't set the price for the food, but I am not about to pay $8.00 for a hot dog . I can buy a package for $7.49, with 8 dogs. I'm truly disappointed and not so sure I'll return and I like your burgers. This is crazy! read more

Great option for a burger in Pilsen. Patty is flavorful and pairs nicely with the onions, sauce and cheese. Fries came with the burger, which is a nice surprise. They were dark like another reviewer mentioned and could've been crispier, but otherwise tasted fine. Maybe next time I'll see if they can make the fries well done. Burgers are made to order and service was fast. Will definitely be back. read more

First time here but defiantly not my last the burger was great cooked perfectly. The fries are seasoned nicely but i would like them cooked a little longer. read more

Craft Burger 18 - Smashburger - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Love this family owned business. Happy they are in the neighborhood. Sad to see review below about different sized fries!! How can you compare a friendly, family owned business to au chevel ? It's apples and oranges and if you enjoy good food and want to support small business, this is the spot! Best burgers, best fries. We always order from craft burger after a long day at work and will always recommend them. read more

Thanks. I was finally able to order through Grubhub, and got the Craft Double with fries. They were phenomenal. I also ordered the Mac-n-cheese which was excellent as well. Not too over/under done with the cheese. A solid mellow flavor. read more

good quality and a fair price point. I think the sauce is great for those who love Dijon mustard for sure. read more

Great food! Fast service and location wasn't far from home . I will be back to visit soon

NO DIET POP. Online ordering is a hot mess. Not sure if its worth the trip. I will try again and post an update. Good luck read more

Delicious Mac and cheese. Staff is very friendly. I wish they will add a vegetarian burger.

the service is really good here they are so nice and easy to talk to. i liked the hotdog it came with fries and all the classic topping but it didn't have that snap to it when you bite down. the burger is not for u high cholesterol hoes. it's flavorful, buttery, and juicy, but it's a lot. the first bite i took i was hit with this intense butteriness and saltiness. It's seasoned very well almost a little toooo much but i was able to eat the whole thing and fall into a food coma. i think the fries are alright i appreciated that they weren't too salty because the hotdog and burger had so much seasoning so it balanced out, but if u eat the fries by itself they're pretty plain. HOWEVER they are rly crispy and long and i appreciate skin on fries read more

Extremely friendly order taker, excellent burgers. We got double cheese burgers and they're smash burger style AND come with fries for $12. Great sauce and toppings come on them and the meat is 4oz each so it was a substantial burger. I cut 1 star because the fries were good not great. They may have even been fresh cut from potatoes which is great but they were floppy, some thin some thick. The highlight was definitely the burger. Also know there's no seating so either eat it in your car, bring it home or if it's a nice day there's a park nearby. read more

Food was prepared fresh and the fries were hand cut-yummy! The staff was accommodating and communicative about the status of my order. I will be back as I love the simple walk-up window concept with an elevated vibe. read more

Got the double cheeseburger no onions and it came with a side of fries. Because of the fries, it's fairly close in price to small Cheval. Having said that, small Cheval's burger is better and small. Cheval's fries are much better. I thought these fries were pretty awful to be honest. The star is for the first couple of bites of the burger and the guy who gave it to me over the counter because he was really nice, unlike a girl who took my order. read more

DELICIOUS burgers! About $43 for three with a bag of fries for each. Not bad considering surrounding rates!!! Dog friendly too oh and they have an ATM in the side!!! read more

Service: okay Atmosphere: It's a walk-up Shoestring French fries: Great! Burgers: These were the skimpiest smash burgers I have ever seen in my life. The meat was so thin and overly cooked that it resembled a meat and char flavored potato chip more so than a meaty burger. I'd say the bun to burger ratio is 10 to 1. I was so confused by this. They give you these massive buns that totally eclipse the burger, but it helps since the meat was grilled and pressed into a desiccated meat coaster. Normally I wouldn't be so bothered, but the price warrants the frustration. Find a better burger place. read more

This whole in the wall (literally) is amazing! The food is cooked to perfection, the food is delicious, fries are hand cut and crispy. The person who took my order at the window (I'm assuming owner) was very polite when taking my order, and made sure I was in and out in about 5 minutes. It was great service! read more

*******Food is really good especially burgers...servers are super friendly. This place is definite a jewel in Pilsen. ******

Fast and friendly service, great prices, delicious cheeseburgers. They only reason I didn't give a 5 stars is they fry the fries too hard - too crispy, almost burnt. read more

Solid burger. The fries were trash. Literally, couldn't have more than a few before giving up lol. Other reviews about the bizarre dark brown color, sogginess, and lack of seasoning are accurate imo. I wanted my usual Burger Alley but they were closed so I gave this place a try. Meh. Didn't quite hit the spot for me, but the burger was decent. Some of the owner's responses to their reviews read a little defensive. Better to try to make improvements with the feedback. We can't all be mistaken about the fries lol. read more

Was parked in front and noticed this new burger joint and decided to try . I have to tell you this is a delicious executed butger. I ordered the craft double . It was a double smash burger with crispy edges with grilled onion on brioche bun with fresh cut fries . I did not eat it but inhaled it . Awesome awesome place . It's new . Much success guys ! read more
