Butcher & The Burger is nestled into a cozy corner just a block or so away from Armitage and Halsted -- far enough to be quiet, and close enough to be convenient. The interior is adorned with low frills furnishings and some chalkboards with menu offerings. On a Friday night, the small dining area was suffused with friendly chatter with an empty table here and there. The menu at Butcher & The Burger is something of a create your own adventure. The staff is happy to offer suggestions and even has some pre-made burgers posted on their chalkboard, but otherwise the contents of your beefy creation are entirely up to you. The diverse set of offerings is almost daunting. The burger that I eventually landed on was a spicy and fiery creation, and I also indulged in fries and a shake because I truly cannot be helped. The food was all quite good, although perhaps this can serve as a warning that burgers, fries, and shake was far too much for me alone.

First time visit to grab a few burgers in our group of 4. I had the Home on The Range bison burger w/out the bbq sauce. Very good but will ask for a little less seasoning next time. Seasoning overtook the natural bison meat taste for me. But an excellent choice regardless. Others had All American cheeseburgers. And we all wolfed down those delicious CHEESE FRIES in addition to a basket of regular fries! Topped off with unlimited drinks. This place is a tasty and fun spot to hang out for burgers!!! Good folks serving good food!

I have been on the search for a good burger for 2 years since moving here and I this was the best burger I have tried many in the city including fancy overpriced ones. The burger was excellent, good sized patty and very flavorful, I appreciate the addition of fresh vegetables which most places in this town seem to lack. The fries were also so good and a do not skip. Lastly the gentleman who took our order genuinely seemed to enjoy his job and provided excellent customer service to all patrons. I will be back.

Yeah, this spot gets it. When you walk in you feel like you've gone back in time and there is little doubt that something delicious is a few minutes away. Incredible burgers, thirst quenching lemonade, and some solid steaks fries. What else do you want? (Nothing).

A place where the burgers are fresh , the services is fast and the ambiance is tranquil.

Very friendly vibe! I particularly like the bison burger but it is less fatty than beef so probably not to everyone's liking. My wife says she is going with the beef next time but I'll stick with the bison. The potato salad is a creamy style and very tasty! Likewise the Cole slaw is really good. It's a good take out place with some seating for inside dining. I'll be going back for sure!

Maybe it's been too long since I've had a good burger but the house burger was just delicious! Soft pillowy bun, juicy, grease dripping pattie - and that sauce, which is on crack. SO good! I'm not even a burger girl but I will return anytime for Butcher's burgers!

Butcher & The Burger is a custom burger joint. They've got a wide range of ingredients to choose from, so you could probably go a hundred times and never get the same thing. With places like these, I always say if your food isn't good it's probably because you don't know what to throw on the burger or how to get it cooked. Also, the large fries are very large. It's more than enough for two people and could probably be good for 3-4.
