Review:
This burger joint is in a great location, on the ground floor of the Sheraton Hotel facing the river. This was my first time eating at this place and I was not impressed. The first thing I noticed was that the bun was soggy. A non-toasted bun is not always a bad thing, but this bun was just horrible. Next, the beef tasted absoluted unseasonsed. Finally, the topping were acceptable. I can’t but think that if the bun was toasted and the beef was seasoned this would be have been an amazing burger. But as it was, this burger was at best so-so.

Review:
Harry Caray’s burgers don’t disappoint. I don’t have a bad thing to say about their burgers. Perfectly seasoned, done just the way I asked, amazing cheese, great bun. My only complaint is the sub-par, cooked in old oil, stale tasting fries. Skip the fries and you have yourself one of the best burgers in the city.

Review:
Mr. Greek’s Italian Beef is among the biggest in the city. It was so big that I was forced to tackle it with a fork after failing to get the entire thing in my mouth and not on my face. After eating more than half the beef, it finally became the same size as many of the other Italian Beefs. Overall, it was good and more than satisfying. The only thing missing was a little extra kick in flavor, but that’s just a personal preference.

Pimiento Olives

Review:
Blackie’s burgers are big, but lacking in flavor. I should have ordered extra-well-done to bring them out of the beef a little more. Also, I didn’t choose the best toppings. I’m not a fan of mayo on a burger, but I think that mayo would have really complemented the olives. Finally, cheddar wasn’t the best choice of cheese here. Provolone or Swiss would have definitely made this burger better. As it was, this burger was at best so-so. On a side note, the coleslaw was actually quite good.
