    Beef Brisket Sandwich with French Fries
    Kristal M.

    I've been coming here for years and for the longest time they only took cash, but now they take debit and credit! The food never disappoints, the barbecue sauce is the best. Also, one side of the restaurant they have an aquarium I didn't take a picture of it but it's so awesome.

    This place was delicious. The ordering process was easy and well organized. It may seem it was a long line but it wasn't. There were more people doing carry out. The place wasn't bright but the room decor was filled. A few tvs and employees bustling around, serving, cleaning and helping. When I got to the table someone came by to ask if I wanted bbq sauce. I said yes. They must keep tabs on the bottles because as soon as we were done someone came and picked it up right away. We ordered the pork chop dinner and beef brisket dinner. The pork chop dinner came with 2 chops and a few pieces of bread. The chops were thick and tender and delicious. The sides were simple but also good. The beef brisket was sliced thin. It was a couple ounces but didn't seem like much meat. It came with a piece of corn, 2 pieces of garlic toast and the sides I wanted. This was plenty to eat but wished the brisket were thicker slices or had a little more meat. I will be back to try other things but glad to have made it here.

    Ribeye Steak Burrito Dinner Wednesday
    Daniel S.

    Well known BBQ restaurant in the far south suburbs. Their BBQ dishes are all good. I got the rib tips and liked them. I did try something different the next time I went, and tried the ribeye steak burrito. It wasn't bad, but not on par with their other signature dishes. It's best I'd say to stick to the more traditional barbeque dishes. All the sides I've tried have all been good too-the fries, the curds, the mac n cheese. The inside is nice, a good western decor. Your order at the counter, and then they bring the food out to you. A pretty big parking lot so that shouldn't be an issue. If you live nearby and are a fan of meats, then it's definitely worth checking out.

    Pay attention to what be charged for!

    Went with a large group of family members to celebrate a birthday. I ordered the ribeye dinner special and my husband ordered a full slab of ribs dinner. They asked what side we wanted and I asked for Mac and cheese, for my soup the cream of chicken, and a baked potato. The hubby had red potatoes and Mac n cheese. Mac and cheese lacked any real flavor tasted bland. But the kicker was they charged each side as additional charge to the dinner price which was suppose to be included. My husband didn't bother to question until I asked him. We drove 45 minutes and don't plan on going back. Steak and ribs were good. Most family members ordered the pork chop and they were happy with it.

    Huge & Tender Pork Chop Dinner
    Torianna C.

    I have seen this place for years and never stopped by to try it, but today was the day! I ordered the grilled pork chop and it came with two sides. The pork chop was grilled to perfection and juicy. It was probably the thickest and juiciest pork chop I've ever had. The red potatoes were delicious. I wasn't a fan of the green beans, but they have other sides to choose from. They were bland to me to be honest. Their service is amazing. They must always have pork chops on the grill because I received my order about 2 minutes after placing my order. The food was hot, so it wasn't like it had been sitting there for awhile. It was definitely fresh. The inside is pretty large in size, but it's very dark inside. If you want to take pictures of your food I would recommend takeout.

    Amazing place. Food came out so quick! You get lots of food in your order. You won't be hungry.

    Easy parking and great food at a location that is easier to reach (for me) than the original-original location.

    The meat is ok, but everything else is just mediocre. Drive a little further, there are better BBQ places

As soon as I gave my order I knew the food was going to be excellent. The politeness, hospitality, and attention to detail really make this place stick out. I ordered a double cheeseburger combo. I dined in the restaurant. All I have to say is......AMAZING! This was one of if not the BEST Burger I've ever had in my life. This place is truly an example of what a "Burger joint" should be. Think of it, fresh ingredients and everything made to order right in front of you. I'm going back next week, and I'm telling all my friends about this hidden gem! Outstanding experience! SB

    If you name your establishment Retro Burger, you probably need to make sure you're dealing out some…read moretasty burgers. Good news because the owner of this place did his due diligence. This carryout-only shop on Cicero Ave in Crestwood has been open for a number of years, and yet I've never managed to stop in?!? What's really strange is that I happen to be a guy who LOVES a good burger.. like, it's one of my favorite foods. Anyway, I stopped in on my way home from work recently, and it was well worth the trip. I'm guessing the owner helped me during my visit, as he was the only one working. As mentioned, Retro Burger is a small, but very clean space with an extremely limited menu. That speaks to me. Pick a handful of things you're going to serve folks and then skillfully execute them. My burger choices were either "Hamburger" or "Cheeseburger". Now both of these options feature a 1/2 pound of beef, and we're not talking about pre-made, pre-formed or frozen burger patties. This gentleman opened the cooler, took out a tube of fresh ground beef, cut off a 1/2 pound, slapped it on the flat top and gave it a press. I knew this was gonna be special. The brioche bun is steamed prior to a quick trip to the griddle. The grilled onions were dropped in the deep fryer for a minute and then plopped on the griddle next to the burger patty. The bacon came next and it was crispy. Gave the burger a nice crunch without being overwhelming. The lettuce and tomatoes are fresh... you're probably picking up the vibe by now. This cheeseburger was no joke. Very tasty, and made with care. The rest of the menu consists of a hot dog, a polish sausage and maybe one other thing, but the reason to stop in to Retro Burger is for the burgers! The cheese fries were fine, but nothing to write home about. The price point is higher because the quality is there and you can taste it. There are 3 or 4 other places within 5 miles of this place if you're looking for a $5 Big Baby Double Cheeseburger, but I would strongly encourage you to spend a few extra dollars and get yourself a serious sandwich. I'll be back.

We tried this location. ***ROLLS EYES*** We walk in and nobody else is dining there, maybe they just opened. They greeted us, but don't offer menus. We grab menus at the island and sit. We ordered 2 bacon burgers, 1, fry, 2 waters:$45. Yikes! The lady starts bagging the food up we tell her we're eating here and she gets puffy and puffy saying that you have 2 be seated at the tables and be served etc etc. HOW THE HELL WERE WE TO KNOW THAT? DID YOU ASK WERE WE DINING IN OR TAKEOUT? DID YOU ENGAGE US TO LET US KNOW??? NO! So we still sat right there where the seats are at on the island and eat. I needed additional mustard she dryly hands me the squeeze bottle. I assumed she was pissed she wouldn't get a tip. NOT OUR FAULT. Other oatrons walk in and get pleasantries I noticed. Hmmmm.... So we clean up behind ourselves, to not inconvenience her further, LOL. When we go to dump the garbage she wanted us to use the rear garbage instead of what was closer in front. I ALMOST LOST IT ON HER! I walked out and left my guest. I WOULD NEVER RETURN! READING THE OTHER REVIEWS THIS CHICK HAS A NASTY ATTITUDE IN GENERAL AND I DONT SPEND MY MONEY IN PLACES LIKE THAT! OH, THE BURGER WAS FAT, NOT THIN.... AND NOT ALL THAT!!!!
