Came for the first time for food , which I was shockingly surprised how good it was ! We got the cheese pretzel (which the cheese sauce was made fresh) and the burger - which was super juicy and seasoned well. My husband got the chicken sandwich and said it was a bit dry - he added some sauce and said it was better. COVID precautions were definitely in place and they had heaters to help with the chill read more

Very hipster/divey midwest bar vibes which is enjoyable if you're looking to grab a bite and a brew, something casual. What I enjoy most is the vegan options at reasonable prices. I love smash burgers and this place does it so well! Its also nice to have regular options offered which makes it nice for groups with different dietary needs. read more

Burger is as good as it looks and advertised. Nice outdoor space and service will bring me back. Did I mention that burger?? Yea, go for that. And the truffle, fresh cut fries. Ala carte but in this case a price well worth it. read more

I was going on a date to another spot when I realized the other spot didn't serve dinner. So I quickly googled restaurants in the area. That's how I found The Moonlighter. As a person who doesn't live in the area, I was pleased with how easy it was to find and get in with no reservation. It's the best of both worlds: The restaurant with the sports bar feel. It's appropriate for a casual date, to hang with the fellas for drinks and a game, or to bring the kids. I've added The Moonlighter to my spots for when I'm on the north side and need a bite. read more

Looking forward to trying this place for so long. I figured tonight would be the night seeing as though I was really craving a good burger and the community pages always mention this place. I should note that if you are handicapped, the tables are not spaced appropriately to be handicap accessible. The first thing I noticed was how small the menu was and their prices. $16 for a burger, $22 if you want fries with it. This isn't a fancy place people, you're sitting on a picnic table! If you don't want a burger you could also get tacos and corn salad which is also on the menu...interesting... I digress... I was not impressed at all with the burger. Incredibly greasy (had to put a napkin underneath to catch the grease), salty, and just not good. I was unable to finish my food. To make things worse I was sick within minutes of leaving the restaurant and had to cancel my plans for the evening. I do not recommend the food here. For drinks and a dog friendly patio, maybe...but take your money elsewhere and get a good meal at one of the many walkable restaurants nearby. read more

Chill, laidback atmosphere and seriously the most yummiest, juiciest burgers. The best BBQ bacon cheeseburger, but their pina colada definitely stole the show for us. So creamy and ice cream-y, but it is booze. read more

Ordered takeout from here tonight, but once I walked in to retrieve my order, I was amazed at how cozy the interior looked. Now that the colder months are upon us, a bar and grill with fireplaces, wall mounted TVs, and a piña colada machine are in the mix, this might be one of those spots to hunker down in on any given day. So I got one of their double cheeseburgers which was filling enough on its own without any sides. Good deal too for less than $15 in my opinion. The patties were thick, and the burger itself was covered in sauce, but not too much where it would become a huge mess. Also had some carrot cake, which is apparently brought in by the ever so famous Roeser's Bakery down on North Ave. Delicious, but I don't have to tell you that. So the meal was pretty good, but I'm looking to visit next time and have something else from Moonlighter indoors. Looks too comfy to pass up a good meal on, and that's a fact. read more

Large patio space that's dog friendly and tons of space between tables. The menu during Covid was small but, they have a pretty tasty double burger, decent beer list and Rosè on draft. Interesting, right?? Plus it's right down the street from my house. They do online reservations only for outdoor dining. Our server was attentive, efficient and really nice. read more

Zero stars for sure, ordered take out from here as we live 4 steps away. We all violently had food poisoning, my kids included. Had dinner around 6 and I definitely started feeling it right away. We had wings, tenders and a chicken sandwich. We were moving all day this was the absolute only thing all of us really ate. I can't imagine how unsanitary it must have been for us to get so sick instantly. read more

We came here on a football Sunday while you could still dine in. My friend had made a reservation in advance as there was limited capacity. I ordered the burger and it was fantastic! We also got the fried tacos..these are essentially Taco Bell type tacos but better. Service was fantastic and there were lots of TVs to enjoy watching the game with our brunch. read more

Definitely made it back for the drinks. S/o to the mixologist 9/26 (The Sailor Melon ) was stellar 10/10; The Summersoft 7/10. While here you might as well get a X-Large fry and don't forget to dip that garlic aioli sauce, yum! I will bring my close friends here for the burger it's self. Top 3 best burgers experiences I've had in Logan Square so far. The service was mediocre at best but not enough to prevent me from visiting, I hope the workers are getting hazard pay. Thank you for the tasty dining read more

I was really surprised here! They have some good food. I came with a friend on a Saturday night and we both ended up with 2 beers, 2 tacos, and we split a burger. I am very impressed with their tacos. I freakin love that they are deep fried!! The shell is amazing. I was also really impressed with their burger. We got the one with bbq sauce and fried onions. It was really well seasoned and the bun was awesome. The price was decent, especially for the tacos ($2 each) and the service was friendly and prompt. The only reason this is 4 instead of 5 stars is that they seem to think American cheese is the only kind of cheese. It really ruins the taco, and the second one I had (sans cheese) was 1000 times better. I really with they would use shredded cheddar. The burger had American too, and for what tasted like a fairly artisan burger was really leveled down with such a cheap, plasticy cheese. But I will definitely be back, particularly for the tacos (without cheese)!! read more

Ian the Manager was awesome! Double cheeseburger is phenomenal. Will 100% be returning for patio season with the pooch and the girlfriend! Awesome food to match the cool vibes ! read more

Came here after the Nats swept the Cubs to celebrate. Very good draft list. Something for everyone. Love the layout of this place. A good place to go for sporting events or even a date. I wish I could've tried the food. It looked great. read more

COVID stuff - Plenty of indoor and outdoor patio space. I got here around 6 pm on a Sunday and was immediately seated without any reservation (this was my backup - because scofflaw was closed). However, it gets packed during the evening time so do call ahead. Staff wears a mask and it's mandatory for you to wear one upon entering as well..but that's kinda obvious. Drinks/food- I had the guilty pleasure cocktail and tried the sunsetter & go-getter. Guilty pleasure was quite tasty ( I was on an empty stomach so one already got me feeling good), it had a nice tang to it with the lemon, could've been stronger on the passionfruit. Sunsetter was alright, Go-getter had the nice smoky mezcal flavor to it. Honestly, the only letdown was the cocktail glass (if I'm not wrong, it came in a plastic one..maybe a COVID safety thing?). It could've been different but they did put a cute umbrella on mine so that was cute compensation. I also tried the charred spicy Brussel sprouts..it wasn't spicy and I liked it. Overall, will be back (mainly because of its proximity and also since I've heard good things about their burger) read more

I can't get enough of this: burgers on a patio with a cocktail, after a long day. If you have ever felt this way, the Moonlighter is for you. This place is snug full of pub food, craft cocktails, great energy, and a dog friendly patio. I ordered the Portland (Beyond Burger patty- plant based, vegan cheese, iceberg, grilled onion, pickle, tomato, sauce). It is going to be hard for me to order something else next time I come here. Probably one of the best vegetarian patties I have had. If you don't want vegan or vegetarian, I would try the Moonlighter (American cheese, iceberg, grilled onion, pickle, tomato, sauce). Simple, but it hits the spot. Sides are à la carte here. So pubby: fries, garlic fries, chili cheese fries, cheese curds, chicken strips, wings, mac and cheese, nachos. I followed majority of Yelpers and ordered a pina colada. So refreshing that I ordered another. Our server seemed a little off and disconnected from us. She couldn't give us a beer recommendation or favorite burger off the top of her head. Not the end of the world. Decent food. Refreshing cocktails. Casual atmosphere. This is the place to take friends and fur friends! read more

Let's do this in a list: 1 - it was amazing to watch the World Cup here 2 - the patio is cute 3 - everything is a la carte aka expensive, tysm gentrification 4 - the high top chairs are too big for the space and you will 100% run into the person sitting behind you 5 - do you like pina coladas? well you're in for a treat because they got em 6 - the tacos seem like they'd be bad but in fact are amazing 2 entrees, fries, and 2 drinks should not be $48 but that is simply one woman's opinion read more

Returned this evening after a 5 year break. Menu has totally changed. Special burgers are gone. Burger was mediocre at best. Charred Brussel sprouts were awful...inedible. won't be going back. :( read more

Our electric skateboarding group has been patronizing Moonlighter for years & usually spends between $300 & $400 per trip multiple times a month. We had no issues with staff ever until the new GM Katie took over. She was extremely rude from the start & made insulting comments about skaters being degenerates. She then berated one of us for asking to use the bathroom & proceeded to throw us out. We were nothing but respectful the entire time but she was completely unreasonable & incredibly rude. We will never patronize Moonlighter again & will advise all the other motorcycle, car, & bicycle riding groups in the city to do the same. read more

Great drinks and a great patio! Love that it's dog friendly. The food was great too, I enjoyed the beyond burger I got. read more

Burgers are hella good. They always have games on and the service is good. Trivia Wednesday night is the best!

Love this place. I live down the street and this is our go-to when we want to get out of the house and have some great food but we don't want to travel too far. I love the chicken tenders, pretzel, burger and crispy chicken chopped salad. Do yourself a favor and get a frozen pina colata. DANG THEY ARE GOOD. read more

First time. The place is open and modern. The chicken sandwich and burger are good. The salad is cold and average. Overall not bad. read more

Came in on a whim.. not many places are open late now in the area but I ordered a burger with the cheese fries. The burger was awesome! The fries were good but i wasn't sure how I felt about the beer cheese.. the texture was off to my liking. But good. I would've preferred it on the side instead of on top making those amazing crispy fries get soggy.. but over all the food was solid, good music, good drinks. No complaints here... read more

A fine establishment. Cold beer. Hot tots. Charged my friend twice on his tab and did not charge our other friend.

We can always count on the moonlighter for great food and service! We really love their burgers and fries!

Unfortunately, this restaurant is not accessible to all people with disabilities caused by different medical conditions. The owners of the restaurant, The Scofflaw Group", allow discrimination in their businesses. I went to Moonlighter to meet a friend for dinner. When I went to check in with the host, she turned me away because I have a medical condition that has made me disabled. She was very nasty. I left humiliated, in tears, and felt very discriminated against. read more

Trivia on Wednesday. Classic sports bar with outdoor and indoor seating. Limited food menu with a variety of mixed drinks and beer options. Recommend booking a table here if you are going to participate in Trivia as it is only for inside customers. read more

Went there with my kids today at 5:56 pm. Place is empty we wanted to try something new here in logan square. The women that is in the front told me that if i wanted a table inside i had to leave by 6:30pm cause everything is reserve ! Is 5:56pm leave at 6:30 pm are you serious telling me that on a empty restaurant ? Felt discrimination cause im hispanic and only saw white people there ? Would not recommend this place ! read more

We made a reservation and visited on a Saturday night around 9pm. It was packed and we sat on the patio. The patio is a nice space and has tvs and lights. I ordered an Off Color beer and the Double Cheese Burger with fries. The cheeseburger was very good with a very very subtle "special sauce". The fries were good and you got plenty. It was a bit disappointing that you have to add fries to the burger for $5 though. The only other negatives were that the patio was really loud with music + tv audio + talking and our server came by twice the whole time we were there. Overall, it's a good place to spend your Saturday night, just maybe a little pricey. read more

The Moonlighter - Double cheese burger and fries - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've been here a handful of times and I've enjoyed every visit. In the winter, when the patio is closed, it can sometimes be crowded inside but we have always been able to get seats at the bar right away. The patio outside in the warmer months is gorgeous. There's plenty of seating, nice lighting, and comfortable chairs. It's a great place to just sit and enjoy the weather with a nice drink and some good food. I'm also always impressed with their mocktail menu. I quit drinking awhile back and I always appreciate a nod to the non-imbibers that's not just soda and a lime. They had great juices, mocktails, and a number of sodas and zero alcohol beers. Great job, Moonlighter. I also love that they have a vegetarian/vegan version of their menu. I appreciate that the same foods are made veggie/vegan instead of having a totally different set of meals. I love veggie versions of things like nachos and burgers even though I'm not a vegetarian. Plenty of parking on Kedzie and Armitage and, even though it often looks full and busy, it's usually easy to get a table. Service is always good and quick, especially if you want a drink refill. I've always enjoyed my meals here and I'll be back to enjoy the patio this summer. read more

Food and drinks are always delicious! Service is also always great, can't wait to go back.

So to start this place has a great set up for Covid outdoor dining with nice tents and fireplaces at some of the tables. It was nice to be able to dine outside and still be warm. The place is mostly known for the burgers but actually has some good looking vegan options which 2 people in our group got and enjoyed. The other 4 we all got the double burger. We all thought it was just an average burger. If in the area I would stop by again but wouldn't go out of my way for this burger. read more

Cool vibe. The staff are really friendly and accommodating. Solid veggie menu. Good for watching sports. I'm looking forward to going back in the warmer months for the patio. read more

The food and drinks here were okay. Visited because they do have a dog friendly patio

My boyfriend and I stopped through here on a Friday evening for dinner and drinks. The burgers appeared to be the specialty here, so I ordered their Coronado burger (pepper jack cheese, guac, pickled jalapeno, and spicy mayo). My favorite part about the burger was how fresh the guacamole tasted. The Moonlighter carries a large selection of sour beers. I've never been a huge fan of this category of beers, but they definitely had a lot of sour beers that sounded interesting. To drink, I had the "Surprise Horizon" cocktail and a glass of rose. Both drinks were excellent, but I did find it a little weird to drink wine out of a water glass vs. a normal wine glass. They serve all of their beers, cocktails, and wine out of the same type of glass. The atmosphere of The Moonlighter is far from pretentious, but is still stylish and visually appealing inside. read more

Their crispy chicken salad is amazing!! My partner loved his burger and wings! Drinks are decent, not strong but not too weak. Great place to hang out with friends, enjoy a good meal, along with the pups. read more

Super casual environment and great food! The burgers are obviously fabulous, smashed to perfection and served with a ~special sauce~. Definitely won't be disappointed if you go with the burgers. We also split some wings and had some beers, which were all good. I got the pina colada as well, and it was surpisingly good, and they now have froze so I would definitely give that a try next time. Great spot! read more
