Reviews for DMK Burger Bar in Chicago, IL
This place was my favorite burger joint. But I will not return to eat here. It was always more expensive, and the portions were... small, but the ingredients were good and the patty was perfection. That said, something happened in the last year and theingredients stop being good as they used to, and the burgers are always overcooked. I update my 5 stars to 1 after getting a"well-done" patty twice while asking them not to overcook it. Without the burger being tasty this place is just an overpriced,small portions low quality overcooked burger joint. What a disappointment. Update 2022: Last time I was here the burger wasdisappointing in the sense that it was way overcooked. I'm hoping it was a one time thing and so giving this place the benefitof the doubt for now. Older review 2020-2021: Best burger I had in years! Ordered the Grass-Feed Beef with the chili-rubbedonion and amish blue cheese (#2). I was a bit hungry after since the portion isn't that big (if you you are not a big eater thiswill be perfect for you), but the price was just. Second time ordered the other Grass-Feed Beef (#1) and loved it. Because Iknew I would probably want something extra I also ordered the wings (blue BBQ) which were a let down (not the sauce fault, justnot good wings). They work together with Fish Bar in a way you can seat in the Fish Bar balcony and order from DMK, which I did???? Read more
I am extremely surprised this place did not have more business when my partner and I stopped in on a late Friday afternoon. As... our first time, we opted to try their shake of the month, apple pie (and made it boozy for just an extra $5), which our waiterwas kind enough to split into 2 glasses and enjoyed a plate of their fried okra and pickles, the #7 burger, and the Wisconsincheese fries. As a fried pickle lover, I was EXTREMELY pleased with how delicious their fried pickles were! Would definitelyrecommend. The burger was extremely large and a good value for the price. I would say my only complaint came with the friedbeing a bit over cooked. Overall the experience was extremely nice and I wish I would’ve caught our waiters name who wasovertly nice and helpful. Definitely worth the price and will be back! Read more
I've been to a lot of excellent burger places, and DMK definitely ranks among the best. The burger we had was exceptional and... cooked to perfection, and the fries we had with it were also great. They have a nice selection of beers and wine, and theatmosphere is really laid back. If you're looking for a burger place in the Chicago area, this is a must try. Read more
We took a family trip to Chicago and after my lovely wife saw this place on a rerun of #dinersdriveinsanddives we had to check... it out. The $15 grass fed beef burgers are only fine and they are so light on the toppings. My burger has a luck of sauce andlike 3 over cooked onion pieces. The $7 table fries literally were the saving grace and the only reason for the stars. Welooked up the episode and it aired about 10 years ago. It seems like they are riding the tourist/food network fans wave andaren't concerned with repeat business. Some locals did come in, sat at the bar and only ordered fries because they know. So ifI were to return it would be ONLY to try the other fries Read more
Ordered their Parmesan truffle fries. Seemed stale and flat. Was a big let down. Their okra and pickle fries were pretty good... tho. The burgers were simple and Stripped back to their true essence. The buns were pretty badass and fresh. Tried their bisonwhich is their most popular burger. The meat itself was pretty dry but overall was good. Read more
Perfect food. Excellent service. Good burgers. But THE SWEET POTATOES FRIES WERE TO DIE FOR! You can get an egg for $1 on any... burger ???????? they usually have a different burger and shake special. Not sure if it’s weekly ? Clean space. Read more
Do youyself a favor and order the number 5. It's probably the best burger I've ever had hands down. Not even joking....... Something about each ingredient complemented each other so well. The blueberry BBQ sauce with the goat cheese omg.... I alsoadded an egg too Split a patty melt with my buddy too as well as the angry fries. All super good as well. Also the first timeI've had malort here haha Read more
Good burgers. Fantastic fries. The blue cheese and bacon fries blew me away and so did the cheddar fries. Waitress Zoe was super... nice and helpful. Read more
