Overpriced but yummy
Very romantic setting in this restaurant, I liked it. The servers and bartenders and very friendly and very efficient. I ordered the veggie sandwich with a cup of tomato soup. The tomato soup was pretty thick with chunks of tomatoes, I'm more a fan of creamy tomato soups with my sandwiches. The mushroom, onion, and arugula sandwich came on a hamburger bun but was very delicious. My boyfriend ordered the number one with fries and devoured it. I tried it, it was pretty good with onions, bacon, arugula, and 1000 island dressing. It's messy though. Beware. The fries were crispy shoestrings. Yumm. Prices are a tad high for burgers but they're huge.
You have to try their spiked milkshakes. So so good.
I'd admit, by the time I took my first bite here, I was pretty ravenous. Â Regardless, I was seriously impressed with the flavors in my No. 1 burger.
I ordered it medium well as ground beef generally makes me nervous. Â The level of done-ness was perfect vis-a-vis juiciness. Â I actually found this to be a superior burger to the one at Au Cheval.
It does tend to start sogging up in the wrapper, so eat it like it's going out of style-- fast and furious!
The sweet potato fries were delicious, but basically on par with any other sweet potato fry. Â I enjoyed the cute little to-go carton it was served with.
Ambiance-wise it's super loud. Â Sadly, my friend and I were not imbibing in the bottomless mimosas, bellinis, or bloody marys. Â If we had been, perhaps the need to yell at each other wouldn't have seemed as laborious.
Overall, worth coming in for a burger if you're in the neighborhood.
I came here with a fellow foodie, so needless to say I had high expectations. The building is on the smaller side, but the bar/hipster/garage/urban feeling was very appropriate for the intimate seating. When I order a burger, I need to eat it with fries, generally speaking. That's just me. I'd like to get out of the way the fact that these fries were nothing special, but did their job. I would probably order them again just because that is my nature, but wouldn't rave about them.
 On to the fun part: I ordered the number one burger (sans cheese) so it had caramelized onions, arugula, bacon, and thousand island dressing. Alone, these are some of the best ingredients to work with--the sweet onions, peppery arugula, salty/sweet bacon, and rich/tangy dressing each bring a lot to the table, literally. But when united atop a perfectly cooked, juicy (but not runny), well-seasoned ground sirloin jewel, the result was absolutely one of the most intimate pleasures I have ever experienced. To push this burger over the edge, the sweet and buttery bun that held these explosive flavors captive won best supporting component to this masterpiece.
 Our waitress was very attentive, answering all of our questions, and even bringing samples of cheese to the table upon request (they have quite the selection). After the meal, I filled out a survey and received an email for 25% off my next bill. I will also get a free burger on the month of my birthday--talk about treating customers right and making sure they will come back! I know I certainly will, and can't wait to bring more friends to this upscale burger-bar.
This place is pricey but I was really craving a burger and this just hit the spot. I got the Number 1 with caramelized onions, prelibato gorgonzola, crescenza, arugula, and bacon. I thought the gorgonzola was a bit over powering and I'd probably get a different cheese next time but that's just me... I like blue cheese in moderation.
I also had the sweet potato fries and the salty caramel shake spiked with Maker's Mark. The sweet potato fries were good they came out piping hot and so did my burger. The shake was good but next time I think I'll order it without the alcohol. I don't drink that often and I don't really care for the taste of alcohol so if you subtract the alcohol it would have been right on the money. It was about a $30 meal but I was craving a burger and dragged my co-worker out in the middle of night at 9ish on a Monday. Pricey but it was delish!
BEST Grilled Cheese EVER. The staff is here is incredibly nice, very accommodating and I've never had to wait very long. The bacon wrapped dates are delicious. They give you more fries that you can even handle, and the prices are EXTREMELY reasonable, way cheaper than most bars out there. The burgers are delicious, there are endless options & the cheese choices are amazing. I highly suggest going here any day of the week, they also have happy hour specials that make it exponentially cheaper to dine there as well. Try it out, you won't regret it!
Review Source:This is a great neighborhood place for a burger! Â If you want to avoid the touristy River North spots I highly recommend 25 degrees. Â My friend and I come here regularly for burgers & drinks and have always experienced exceptional service. Â They also have tasty salads and french fries. Â In the summer they open up the front "garage" style door so gives it a very airy feel and nice atmosphere.
Review Source:25 degree (look for the actual degree symbol on the signage outside) is a really cool place that took care of us well. A few friends and I went a couple weeks ago on a  cold cold Monday. I got there first and was told I could choose where to sit. Had a seat, the waitress came and asked what I wanted.
Me: I want something warm.
Waitress: Tea?
Me: With alcohol.
Waitress: Hot toddy?
Me: Yes, great! But I didn't see it on the menu
Waitress: No problem, I can make it for you. This is my family recipe (goes on to list it off), is that okay?
How nice!! She went ahead and ordered the alcohol as a shot from the bar, then made the drink herself. It was delicious! So nice of her! And it really hit the spot.
Friends came and we ordered the food. Half and half sweet potato fries and regular fries. Our waitress recommended some dipping sauces (they cost extra, little bummer, but they're good), her recommendations were great, especially the garlic parmesan.
The best thing about this place is that you can bring anyone - we all have the veggie friends, or the ones that don't red meat, yada yada yada - but here, everyone is happy! We had 2 veggie burgers, one turkey and one beef (ground sirloin), everyone was very happy with theirs. Our waitress was very helpful when we described what kind of cheese we wanted. I also said I wanted jalapeno and bacon, she offered the bacon that was soaked in jalapenos, trying to save me the extra $1, which was very nice. (I ended up still getting the two separate though, so i can't speak for the jalapeno bacon topping yet).
All in all, a really great meal, and great service. I love the decor too,the velvety wallpaper, kind of like a 1950's upscale speakeasy feel. It's more of a 4.5 stars for me. Meter parking in the area around 6-pm7 wasn't hard to find either. We'll definitely be back!
This place is great! I hosted a birthday party of 30 people last weekend here and the service was great. The servers came around to take drink orders numerous times and were very attentive They even had candles available for the cake I brought since I had forgotten the candles at home.
We all ordered at the same time and the food came out delicious and timely. We will definitely return!
I have visited 25 degrees twice in the past three weeks. Â Both with mixed reviews. Â The food is exceptional, the service is good and drinks are good but the issue is inconsistency. Â All in all, both evenings at 25 degrees was fun. With a posh decor, good music, lively people and delicious food, there's always plenty of smiles to go around. It is very loud, so I wouldn't choose the spot for an intimate dining experience but if you're looking for a bit of fun, by all means chill-out at 25 degrees.

I went here for brunch and then started hanging out for lunches too. Love the burgers. Sassy waitrons.  Fun!

Review Source:Their burgers are great, proper bun and burger ratio is very important to me, and the soft bun and juicy patty makes the burger very good.. Â Fries, beet salad and kale salad are all good too and you get huge portions here. The half salads and small fries are plenty to share. Â
The cocktails were just ok, not out of the world, but the bar atmosphere is great. Â I would stick with regular drinks and make sure you order the salted caramel bourbon milk shake!
Review for drinks only. I really enjoyed my cucumber Collins. The drinks were large and sufficiently strong. Food is American-burgers fried and shakes. The burgers we ala carte and we were appalled that cheese was $2 while onions, bacon, etc is $1 each. Sauces were also a $. Seems like it could get pricey quick!
Review Source:BEST BURGER I'VE HAD IN CHICAGO THUS FAR :) . Â The only reason it gets 4/5 stars is because I think they should get more IPAs on tap. Â Service was good, got the Number 1 and 3 burger. Amazing. Â The fries are just okay, the burger is big enough so wouldn't get fries next time. Â The 1.5 mile walk in the cold from my place in the south loop was well worth it.
Review Source:25 Degrees is known as a burger joint but believe me that there are more options than that. Â I'm a vegetarian so I was a bit nervous when my friend suggested the restaurant but after checking out the menu I was really excited to check out their sandwiches and soup. Â I went with the lunch option of soup and sandwich. Â I choose butternut squash soup and a veggie sandwich. Â The soup was TO DIE FOR. Â They use some special ingredient I think to make it so addicting. Â I wish I got a vat of the soup instead of a bowl. Â The veggie sandwich was good also. Â Not too oily like other grilled veggie sandwiches I've had in the past. Â Also the portions are huge so be prepared to take a doggie bag if necessary.
Review Source:One of the top 5 burgers of all time for us.
It's just that good. Â We went for lunch on a Friday and there was no wait. Â It was absolutely delicious. Â The meat was so fresh and the toppings were high end. Â We had the #1 burger and the #3 burger, both with fries, 2 shots of Fireball, 2 Blue Moons. Â Oh man oh man it was fantastic.
If you are a burger person - this is a must try. Â I did quite a bit of foodie research for our trip and all the reviews and blogs held to be true.
I don't like to admit when I'm wrong, but I was very wrong about my initial review. This place in the past year has become my most favorite neighborhood place. Their burgers are exceptional and their service is great. I'm always greeted with a big smile (I'm pretty sure they now recognize me because of my almost weekly subscription to their $14 all you can drink mimosa / bloody mary bar). I take back any negative thing I've ever said about this place.
There is usually a good crowd, so on weekends, if you want a booth, you should try to get there before noon.
I truly like the owners and the staff and plan for many visits ahead in 2013.
I'm not that into burgers but this is for their spiked up floats and milkshakes- they're good and strong. Perfect if you have a sweet tooth and want something a little different than just a glass of wine or your usual cocktail.
Recently I met up with a buddy of mine late saturday night here, after saying nay to a couple of crowded bars in my neck of the woods and decided on this one because it was the least crowded. Surprisingly. We were in no mood to stand and get aggressive for the bartender's attention. Plus I knew they had the adult milkshakes. They stop making them about an hour or so before closing cuz it's made in the kitchen. I settled for a float before leaving and it's pretty darn good. The ice cream tasted of high quality like they use at Ghiraradelli's so I'm going to guess it's hagan daz vanilla cuz that's what they use over there at G's. Great staff though, from at the door to the bar- all really nice. They play a lot of good old school hip hop too surprisingly. I'll have to come back for $5 happy hour since it's just down the street from me.
Bought the YOUSWOOP Deal! No regrets on spending 35 dollars for 72 dollars worth of food plus 10 bucks to spend on the next visit.
My fiancé and I came in while the Bulls were on a Friday night. We sat at the bar and had the best experience.
Everything we had was really good. The burgers were awesome. I guess it's not a typical type of sports bar but you can catch a game here. The TV's are small, but we didn't mind.
We made our own cheeseburger and it was awesome to have so many ingredients to chose from. We ordered a side of potato and three cheese fritters. The Banana Foster Shake for 12 was strong, delicious, with amazing presentation, and fun to share!
Our bartender was great. She was quick to make my mojito and my fiancé's cocktail. She was very friendly, took pictures, and switched the TV for us. I can't wait to come back. Burgers were delicious. The place was packed with a casual crowd of people on dates or in groups. I'm glad I went and can't wait to return!
I went here last night with my fiancé for dinner I had the Number one burger with Sweet potato fries and she had the Chili Honey Chicken with the Tuscan tomato soup.... although the ambience and theme of the bar/restaurant were unique the food was ok. After seeing reviews on the Red eye and work buddies going there for lunch claiming their burgers are awesome I was a little disappointed.
Overall service is good and the price was shockingly fair considering the area.
Once a upon a time, a girl and a guy walked out of one place and into another. This was the "another." And there, they ate happily ever after.
The food was pleasing - big burgers, (great sides!) onion rings (nice portions!) & excellent soup - but if I'm going to go on about something, it'll be about the milkshake!! Maker's Mark meets milkshake. And...she drank happily ever after, of course!
Roomy booth, sweetheart service - read me a fairy-tale, I'm already dreamin'...
...of the next time I visit 25 Degrees
The End
Oh damnity damn! Â Where to begin!
Stumbled across this place purely by accident while on a business trip.
1. Â Incredible wait staff.
2. Â Wonderful decor and ambiance and yet, plenty of screens to catch whatever game you want? Â I quite seriously have never been anywhere so "cool" that had the game on.
3.  Amazing burgers.  As a medium rare burger lover, anywhere that can give me a juicy, bleeding slab of beef on a bun that doesn't fall apart but isn't so hard that it destroys the patty when  you bite....HUGE win.  And then having incredible condiments and fixing on top of it?  Practically unheard of.
4. Â Bacon wrapped dates. Â No further justification needed.
5. Â The wallpaper in the men's restroom.
6. Â Solid cocktails.
Only downer; wimpy beer list. Â But whatever, I'm jaded, I get that.
Burgers and boudoir. Sexy and delicious.
There really aren't enough good things I could say about the food here. The menu is a little smaller than most places, but everything they do, they do right. I've never had a soup here that wasn't exceptional or an appetizer that I didn't want more of, especially the 3 cheese potato fritters and sweet-chili chicken wings. Don't skip the half and half (sweet potato fries, fries, or onion rings) and a few of the burger spreads to go along. Yum.
The drinks are in a whole new league. The bartenders here seriously know how to make a drink. Don't go here for a vodka cranberry. The adult sodas and spiked milkshakes are to die for. The red head in bed is scrumptious. I really miss the Pimm's cup summer cocktail special, I've spent many a night trying to duplicate its holiness...
The decor is nice too, chandeliers, deep red wallpaper, and unique and approachable details.
TIP: They have a great happy hour special, almost all of the appetizers and a few of the half salads are $5 before 7:00pm EVERY day. Wednesdays is the half price wine jug special.
LOVE this place for what it is. Â A local go to spot for me. I love their drinks and specials and they have one of the best veggie burger in the city in my opinion!! Â I always get the number 2 burger with a veggie burger instead a meat burger. Â Not because I don't love a good juicy hamburger once in a while, but the veggie is just too good to pass on. Â The fries/sweet potato fries/onion rings are all really yummy and you can pick two and get a half and half order which is nice.
The best drink and the only one I have ever had here is called the red head in bed. Â It's delish and I can't get myself to order anything else!! Â I have gone on Wed for the wine jug nights which is fun and a great deal!! Â
Nick (a bartender here) is great at what he does and helped put together a great party I was planning for my friends bday. Â We did a wristband deal for our friends which was optional and they reserved the entire front of the bar for our group. Â They also threw in some lovely apps which everyone enjoyed. Â We we arrived a little early there was a group in our area that was lingering but Nick and Joe (owner or manager??) took care of it immediately and extended the wristband deal for our group so everyone could take full advantage (which everyone did not need to do by the time midnight rolled around anyways!!)
Check it out!!
Pretty good burgers, excellent cocktails and milkshakes when it isn't busy. Â Quality and service can take their tolls when it's too busy or for instance your waiter/waitress is otherwise occupied with their friends sitting at the table next to you. Â Shit happens sometimes.
A good question is, when isn't it busy ? Â Weekday afternoons after the rush, later during a weeknight or right around the time a happy hour would begin.
The space is great for smaller groups. Â I like it for a drink but for an engaging hang with friends over dinner, I don't find it as comfortable.
Went here during happy hour specials on a weekday. Didnt not get a chance to try the burger but it looked really good as I saw them being served.
3 girls split the 1/2 off jug of wine and appetizers. They had food specials for 5 bucks as well.
we ordered the potato/cheese fritters, the hot dog (huge), and wings....all were very good and the service was attentive given the crowd.
We went to 25 Degrees  for dinner on a Sunday night. The ambiance is relaxed with a cool vibe
The chicken wings were delicious with a honey chili sauce.
The burgers are fantastic. I had a burger with fried egg on top. The roll was soft and flavourfull, the meat juicy but not too greasy, so i didn't need to add any sauces. The fries were fanatastic too
Yum yum yum!!!
I don't always eat burgers, but when I do I eat one from 25 Degrees!
Big, juicy, flavorful burgers with tangy and tasty sauces, bold flavored cheeses, and a wide variety of toppings!
Get the half&half fries and share them! Perfectly seasoned garlic fries and crunchy sweet potato fries. Ask for extra sauces for dipping.
.....mmmm I am hungry just from writing this review!
I ate too much.
The burger was huge. Â I had the Number One. Â Tasty meat, good cheese, and lots pf puffy bun. Â Had a small sweet potato fry with it (nice! Â Only $2). Â Very filling meal in and of itself but I added on....
An adult creme soda. Â Makers Mark, vanilla liquor and high end ginger ale. Â Very strong and very yummy. Â But I didn't stop there...
For 'dessert' I had an adult milkshake. Â Godiva Chocolate liquor, Trader Vic's, and chocolate ice cream topped with a large portion of whipped cream. Â It was thick. Â And yummy and not very chocolatey.
The four items above was about $35 before gratuity.
I did not have a problem or felt uncomfortable sitting at the bar by myself. Â The bartender was attentive but not overbearing. Â The manager even came by and asked in passing how the meal was.
Many TVs but no sound as there is background music. Â Small tables so not good for larger groups (over 6 people).
If you check in on Foursquare you get a free small fry. Â Not sure if you check in on Yelp.
Awesome, awesome, awesome place. Joe and Mac are the best and the food is great. Â They recently got in People magazine for best shake.. I believe. Â Adult Milkshake, #1 burger and the sweet potato fries are my fav. Â
Best patio in the summer, great location, great management and you might even catch Nick Pobutsky bartending :) Would definitely recommend!!!
3 stars is perfect for 25 degrees. I went here last night with a friend whom I hadn't seen in FOREVER. We had a great time catching up, and it was loud, but not so loud that we couldn't hear each other.
The vibe they're going for confuses me a bit. Is it loungey? If so, why does it smell overwhelmingly like stale beer? Our waitress was friendly but not super attentive - the restaurant doesn't really have that many tables. It was funny because it took the same amount of time for our waitress to take our food order that it took for us to actually get our food! We thought that was strange.
The burger itself wasn't great. Maybe it's my fault for getting it medium - it seemed undercooked (this might be my fault!). The bacon was virtually nonexistent and almost tasted undercooked and chewy. The chipotle sauce didn't pack much of a flavor punch. I definitely wondered where both toppings were when beginning to eat the burger! I ate about half of it.
The fries were better than average but not by much. They didn't really stand out. The bananas foster milkshake was definitely inventive and delicious. If anything, it was almost too rich, but I don't exactly drink milkshakes a lot. My friend LOVED her Beam'n'beer - Jim Beam and root beer. It's cool that they have this new drink menu. Still, I don't think the food is anything that would entice me to come back. It was overpriced and not special. :(
I think that in order for a place to get 5 stars, I have to visit multiple times and the place has to be slamming time after time. 25 degrees....you deserve all 5 of these stars (I would even give you 6 stars if it was legal).
Every time I get grub here, I'm never disappointed. Although I tend to stay true to their slamming burgers (preferably the #2 with prosciutto). The fries are ridiculous as well. Along with the delicious food, the service is ridiculously good. I think the combination of the great atmosphere, food, and service makes this place deserving of all these 5 stars.
Definitely worthy of a Boom!
