Illinois Bar & Grill On 47th

This place was a mistake. We ordered burgers and a basket of fries. The burgers were good. The bartender was not keen to service. It took 5 minutes to get a two drinks the first time and longer than that for our second round. She was happy to serve anyone she knew before me.

The burgers came out and the guy said fried would be there in a second. I asked for mayo also. Five minutes later, I went to the bar and asked for the fires and mayo. Still no dice. However, the other three orders I watched go out in the mean time, all had fries.

It has been a few years since I've been to a place that upholds the stereotypical treat non-southsiders like crap. This place keeps up with old Chicago traditions. Unless you're a regular here, you should probably avoid it.

Chicago's Best was dead wrong on this place.

5 Guys Who!? IBG located on the southside of Chicago is my new spot for heart-attack fantastic tasting cheeseburgers - keep in mind I'm from f-ing Indiana so we don't have too many places like this. The exterior/interior is not special but who cares when you can get a great tasting burger. Also, the service got the job done - I rarely had an empty glass of beer. They had many choices on tap if you're into beer.

If I don't have a heart-attack anytime soon as a result of eating this magnificant burger, I'll be back...

If you like a good burger this is the place you need to be. The bacon cheeseburger...sigh...typing that just gave me a fat boy flashback. The burger was great this was my second time meeting the burger and both times it didn't disappoint. Not real crowded but I did go in the afternoon and people were coming in as I was leaving. It has a nice atmosphere. When I was leaving I glanced over at another customer an saw that he had the chicken wings so now I have to go back and try them out.

I really wasn't blown away with the service though. The bartender/server really wasn't on top of her game we had to ask numerous times to get salt and pepper and water that we never received. In her defense I think that she had too many customers spread out around the place she needed a little help. Other than that they would have got 5 stars. Keep up the good work!
