    Yummy firefly sauce in burgers! The fries are great and onion rings are yummy also. The burger meat was high quality and tasty too. Done just right. We want to try all the burgers like the kamikaze and Wall Street. Abdel is the owner and he was so hospitable and nice. You will be happy you came! Mo is as also very nice to us and friendly.

    The burger was made on the grill with hot flames, & you can see them make it right before your eyes over the counter. One of the best burgers I've had. The fries were seasoned to perfection and the Ferrero milkshake is a MUST!! Service was timely and the server was kind and helpful in answering all of our questions and making sure our order was put in correctly! Unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!

    Yes, yes, yes!! You can't go wrong with any sandwich here--seriously, pick one and prepare to be blown away. The burgers and chicken sandwiches are absolutely top-tier, the shakes are next-level, and the service is genuinely warm and friendly. And here's the kicker: they actually infuse the burger with extra cheese and smoke right at your table. My husband nearly lost his mind when that happened! It's a fun, casual spot with plenty of seating--definitely worth a visit.

    this is such an underrated burger place! My friend and I stopped in for lunch and their menu had a wide range of food and drink items. We got the kamikaze and firefly burgers with the smoke and cheese injection add ons, I would suggest not getting the regular cheese if you do the injection. they also had some great apps, a delicious salad, and an AMAZING briscoff milkshake, omg!!!!

    Great tasty food. Nice service. The inside is a bit small yet works. The ambiance is great. Nice place to get food.

    One of the best burgers we have ever had hands down. I'm considering moving closer to this Chicago location just so I can have it more often. I've tried a lot of burgers in my life, but this one really hits different. The meat was juicy without being greasy, and the flavor was next level. Everything from the bun to the toppings was balanced. It was so good, I literally packed 2 more to take on the plane back to Phoenix. I ate one mid-flight and saved the other for when I landed. Still delicious. This place has completely raised the bar for me. Now I get why it's gone global flavor like this deserves to be everywhere. The place was clean, clean restroom and attentive staff.

    The food here was fresh, hot and good quality. Choose this spot as had a discount from restaurants.com. This venue is in the heart of Lincoln Park near the Apollo Theater. For food we grabbed onion rings, curly fries, and two burgers. I grabbed the backfire burger. This burger was really good but maybe too much sauce. My husband stated that menu said that burger come slathered in sauce. When I return, I will ask for less sauce or sauce on the side. It was too much for me. Anyhoo the burger was tender and cooked perfectly. The backfire sauce is spicy...but good. My husband enjoyed his firefly burger and his curly fries. The onion rings were stand out and would definitely order again. All in all a good dinner.

    Love the food in this location. I like their "Seasoned Fries." Highly recommended for everyone. Price is very reasonable too.

    The food, service, and atmosphere were amazing!! I enjoyed the burger a lot and the fries were great. Also got to try the sauces and the spice was great. The music was the perfect level as well so it was a great sit down place. Can't wait to come back!

    Food here is so good! The burgers are drenched in their house sauce and it's delicious and juicy. They prepare each burger fresh and their french fries are also crispy. We tried their chicken tenders are they meet expectations overall. The prices are reasonable and the service is pretty fair. Parking can be limited due to its busy location, but worth checking out.

    The burgers here is OUTSTANDING !!! First time at Firefly burgers and it's safe to say this is my absolute favorite burger. Added bonus it is halal. We first ordered the cheesy curly fries and fried jalapeño bites. The fries were loaded with cheese, just the way I like it. The jalapeño were hot and crispy and tasted amazing. For the burger I had the Backfire with the smoke gun. They have a mini version too, which has a single patty. The burger is delicious, the buns are thick, and the sauces are just wow. Loved that it has a spicy kick to it. The plastic gloves provided at the table are so needed and so glad it is available. Tried the Ferrero Rocher milkshake and it was a favorite too. It's not crazy thick where it hard to get it up the straw. The consistency was perfect and you could taste the Ferrero Rocher, so good !! Must visit burger place in Chicago!! Check it out asap. The space is a bit tight , hope the business expands the space soon.

    Double-Kamikaze with French Fries. Single-Backfire with Curly Fries. Extra sauces

    i've been craving a big fat juicy burger for a WHILE and i'm so glad Firefly satisfied that need! I ordered a double Kamikaze and my friend a single Backfire, we both loved it so much, so full of flavor along with the fries and dipping sauces :)

    This was my second visit to The Dearborn, and the food and service were both on point. We ordered…read morethe salmon tataki, fish and chips, Wellington burger, and Midwest fried chicken. Everything was well prepared, but the fried chicken was the standout, especially with the hot sauce adding another level of flavor. The staff stayed attentive throughout dinner and even replaced our plates between rounds, which was a level of service I wasn't expecting. I also respected seeing the owner personally making the rounds, stopping at every table to check on the guests and the food. Calm atmosphere, solid hospitality, and a kitchen that delivers.

    OMG! Walk, run, sprint here to get the FISH N CHIPS THAT ACTUALLY BEAT BOBBY FLAY. The executive…read morechef and now chef partner, Aaron Cuschieri, is absolutely amazingly talented. I am used to really good fish and chips... I've never had better fish and chips than Tom Douglas's Mr. Fish in Seattle, UNTIL NOW!!!! Wow, wow wow wow! Do not pass GO, do not read the menu, just order the darn fish and chips! It might be a whole heart attack on a plate... But it doesn't matter... You can walk all of Chicago and burn it off. I decided to work out before I came here for this big splurge and I'm so glad I did. I can see that this is the theater district... And you could come here before a show fish and chips and have the best night of your entire life! I can't wait to try more of this chef's food! I'm BEYOND INSPIRED! ps great beers here toooooi!
