My wife and I both got burgers. She had the shrimp burger and I had the gorgonzola/mushroom burger. Both were good, but the shrimp burger was amazing! Our cocktails were delicious and our waiter was very fun!

We loved it here! The kids menu had a ton of options, there were vegetarian options for me, and really great craft beer. Good service, good vibes.Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs, changing tables, and a big kids menu

I have been coming here since they opened. I've seen this restaurant survive covid and thrive before and presently. Always delicious, but service and food runners could be better trained and more attentive. The manager who also tends bar is quite delightful. He was extremely attentive and gracious with the issue we had.

Great food. Quite a variety of burgers... from traditional to specialty combinations. The best macaroni and cheese I have had in a long time. Great service. Park in the garage for easy access.

Very good food, robust menu. Excellent and reasonably priced whiskey selection, as well as craft cocktails. Conveniently located next to the downtown parking garage and across from the Metra. If you're visiting during peak lunch/dinner hours, or with a larger group, you might want to make a reservation. If it's just 1-2 people you can usually find a seat at the bar otherwise.Parking: Free public parking garage behind the building, limited street park in front of the buildingWheelchair accessibility: Entrance is street level, inside has limited low table tops making it wheelchair accessible but might want to call for reservation depending on time of day

Greatest place to eat in Geneva! Kimchi fries and Wagyu burgers!! They have another restaurant called Barrel & Rye, and it also has some great items. I don't drink so I don't care about whiskey but good food is good

Great spot for a quick well made burger. The burger was almost too big to fit in my mouth but I made it
Awesome food and great service. Never had a bad meal at this place. Burgers are around $18, but are huge and come with a large serving of fries. Kids menu is great also. My kids love the chicken fingers and fries.

We love to stop in at Burger Local because the vibe is always fun, and The bar is stocked with all of your favorites. Tonight we ordered for delivery though. Our meals were prepared promptly and the burgers were cooked to the correct temperature. If you haven't already tried it, order the Short Rib Burger. Ownership has put so much thought into the total experience, pairing the menu with the bar selection, and have a staff that pays attention to every detail. Can't wait to visit this local gem again soon!

A little finer dining. Atmosphere for this upscale burger bar fits it's minimalist decor with a couple TV's hanging. Staff were really friendly, drinks are heavy syrup and more sugary than needed. Took a couple tries to get them to tone down the syrup in the cocktails. Food was pretty good. The sushi bowl I got was good but swimming in sauces that overwhelmed the dish. I won't order again. The burgers looked great and the onion ring batter is awesome. Ate some of the salad entree and it was legit.

Our food was delicious, the service was good. It's very pricey though so just know what you're getting. My burger was delicious. I've had a good steak out there as well and the fries are the best in the area. The price is the only reason I don't go more often.

We have been here a few times now and keep waiting to be disappointed but it just hasn't happened. Every burger we've tried has been amazing. Place is clean, service is good too. All around great experience!
