DMK Burger Bar

If you're a burger enthusiast, DMK Burger Bar in Lakeview is a must-try! With a wide array of options, including gluten-free items, they cater to a variety of dietary needs—a major plus! Their 100% grass-fed beef, bison, and turkey burgers served on artisanal buns are not only delicious but made with quality ingredients. And I could tell! *chefs kiss* They were featured on the Food Network and recognized as one of Chicago's most iconic burger spots, and now I see why they are a top spot when it comes to the burger scene. **What We Tried:** Golden Gate Spritz & Blood Orange Loco: These were just okay/average cocktails IMO. Backyard BBQ Burger: My dad said it was juicy and flavorful. -BYOB (Build Your Own Burger): I customized mine (beef/cheese/egg/bacon/lettuce/tomato/chipotle sauce on the side) and really enjoyed it. Presentation was nice as well. Parmesan Fries with Truffle Cream: A fav! Crispy and fresh. No fry was left behind! Sweet Potato Fries with Lemon Tabasco Aioli: Pretty good, but have had better. I usually like them a bit crisper. Crispy Brussels Sprouts: Really good! The parmesan, bacon, and maple honey glaze combo was perfection. Milkshakes Cookies N Cream & Banana Chocolate): creamy/thick which was delightful because I hate “watery” shakes. Really good wrap up to the meal. For those that like activities, DMK Burger Bar offers fun extras like trivia nights, happy hour, and even Bachelor Nation watch parties. Football game-day specials are also available for sports fans. Overall, the food was solid, and the variety makes it worth a return trip! 🌟

We ordered a takeaway for five people - all burgers. I have never seen such sad looking tasteless burgers in my life. The burgers themselves were paper thin overcooked and hard as a rock. We had some specific requests: /without onions/ one with no cheese etc/’ none of them came the way we asked. The fries were ok but way too much pepper. In addition they were all packed and not marked which is which - turning it into a guessing game - particularly annoying and some were gluten free and there is no room for guesses like that! All in all a waste of money and food, most ended up in the trash.
