Kuma's Corner

Menu is amazing. Everything named after metal bands. Metal themed place, even the staff looks like they live at a concert permanently. Beer list is extensive. Best burger I've ever had by far.

It's legendary, and for good reason. You can't go wrong with any burger , and don't miss out on the Mac & Cheese . Check the tap list for killer craft beer from 3 Floyds, Revolution & others.

Best burgers in the city served with metal music , excellent beer and no remorse. Band-themed burgers are monstrous and dripping with toppings. If you're really hungry, get some Mac & cheese to share.

Great burger selection to go with a great beer selection . Go for the original of this is your first time. If you are here in June get the Chicago Dog Burger . There will be a party in your tummy.

Everything is delicious. The veggie burgers are hand made daily. The YOB with smoked Gouda , garlic mayo and add grilled pineapple ! Best tunes to gain a happy belly ????????

Be prepared for a wait! In the winter, due to a small kitchen and inability to leave the front door open, it does get quite smokey. Get the Kuma's burger and the Jalepeno Poppers .

Heavy metal burgers ! They are massive so be prepared to have your faces melted off! Their burgers of the month are always pretty creative and tasty. Try the Led Zeppelin w/ pulled pork and bacon ! \m/

Not only did they name a burger after the greatest band of all-time, its toppings are exactly what I love on a burger (pulled pork , bacon , cheddar , pickles ). Order a Led Zeppelin and a grape soda .

Kuma's crazy BLT sandwich is named after the punk band APMD, which stands for "all pigs must die." And it's quite an accurate name considering this sandwich contains more bacon than anything! Read more

Great burgers , but do not miss the Mac and cheese this is to order and fresh not good for reheat, sauce breaks. Eat all the Mac and take 1/2 the burger home and eat outta da fridge at midnight!

Metallica with chicken ! The Plague Bringer , Lair of the Minotaur! Slayer (be sure to bring your Tums)! Wash it down with rotating Three Floyd's on tap ! #kumascorner #nowafflefries #chicago

"The Slayer Burger is a 10oz. patty on a bed of fries , chili , cherry peppers , caramelized onion , andouille sausage , shredded monterrey jack, green onion , and ANGER!" Also, delicious.

The Famous Kuma Burger is the way to go - amazing pretzel bun with sunny side up egg and bacon . Come hungry because this thing is massive.

"The ultimate chef-metalhead combo for me is the Metallica Burger at Kuma. This thick, perfectly cooked burger on a toasted pretzel roll satisfies any foodie."- Rick Tramonto Read more

Kuma's Corner is said to serve some of the best burgers in Chicago, like their Pantera or Plague Burgers ! Get the Jack cheese on a pretzel bun while you wait and listen to the killer metal music . Read more

Chicago is a meat 'n potatoes town and Kuma's is a bit overrated against the competition. Burgers are no longer hand-formed nowadays to keep up with the demand. Try Bad Apple, Edzo's, or O&E.

Heavy metal : Check. Bigger than life burgers : Check. Beers&bourbon: Check. What else can u ask 4? Do your ears, throat & stomach a favor and visit this place. Attention: keep some stomach space empty!

Tribute is paid to the Minotaur, a half-man/half-beast creature, with a 10-ounce beef patty topped with pancetta , caramelized onions and brie . The real focal point, though, is a bourbon-poached pear . Read more

Best burgers ever! The meat they use is so good I would be happy w/ only a patty, but the they put it on a phenomenal pretzel bun and give you several amazing topping selections. Beer is good too!

"This burger demands a commitment. Once you pick it up, you won't put it down (and not just because its toppings practically spill out as you eat)."- Andrew Zimmerman Read more

ORDER: Plague Bringer . This aggressively large burger rests atop a garlic mayo-slathered pretzel roll . On top of that, fresh crushed garlic , melted pepperjack cheese and jalapeno tortilla strips .

Kuma's corner isn't for dates (unless she has some serious tattoos ), and it most certainly isn't for business (unless, you know, you're one of several death metal bands that frequent the place). Read more

The Slayer is an insane pile of meat, fries , and everything but the kitchen sink. It is both delicious and overwhelming.

We got the mastodon & the sour vein. Fantastic. I don’t normally go for thicker burgers but these guys hit the money. A+

This place is freaking amazing. I<3 Metal & all of the burgers are named after some of the best bands of all time. Such a rad atmosphere: tattooed employees, LPs, and music .

Fantastic burgers . And quite a beer selection too. It's a popular place so be prepared for a wait.

The scorpion, burger of the month, is ridiculous!! Love is literally oozing from this burger . Fries are ok, and the music is great :)

i dream about kuma's just about every other night. their prezel buns , delicious 10oz burgers cooked to perfection and toppings that would blow your mind... mmm i am so happy i moved across the street.

Big fat burgers from a popular, insanely loud metal bar , that is divisive in terms of ambience. Former Eater Chicago editor Ari Bendersky says it would be "blasphemous" to leave it off the list.

Plague Bringer burger and The Yob are both amazing burgers . The Caesar salad was really good as well !

It's worth the wait to eat here. Try to grab a seat at the bar because it's more fun and the wait may be shorter. The YOB is amazing, and ask for a side of their homemade hot sauce .

Don't go here for a quiet intimate dinner . Expect to wait in line . It's worth it.Beer selection is imports only so here is an excellent opportunity to try a beer with a higher proof than domestics.

Try the healthy route. Burger with no bun and salad as your side. OR dont go the healthy right and have the mac and cheese with bacon and the slayer(medium)....with a few zombie dusts on the side.

Delicious grub, don't skimp on the micro brews or the Mac and cheese . Good for the hang out, date night , or just a chill night for burgers .

IMPORTANT: They don't split checks so you need to have cash if you're going in a group (or a good friend to pay for you) ; there's a Chase in Belmont Plaza and BOA across from the Blue Line station

Metal rages, waits are oppressive, and the beastly burgers , stacked with everything from chorizo to pulled pork , have a reputation so big Lady Gaga ate one during her Monster Ball tour . Read more

Kuma's Corner bills its build-your-own mac and cheese as an appetizer , but it's big enough to feed you and a few of your headbanger friends.  Read more

I thought that burgers were really good but I don't consider them the best burger joint in Chicago.

Fun atmosphere and great food. The Ministry burger was amazing and Stephanie, are server, was fantastic. We'll definitely be back

The "Lair of the Minotaur Burger " has the distinction of being featured on both "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" as well as "Unique Eats". Find out why: http://chewsy.com/r/a/Yjw4F Read more

The burgers are star of the show, and each seems to be more absurd than the next. Can never go wrong with the classic Kuma's Burger , though.

Thought my compadres and I could demolish a few appetizers before our burgers arrived. We were sorely mistaken, and ended up being full after about three bites. Best three bites of my life.

With long waits and metal music blasting, why go? For the Slayer burger–a pile of fries topped with a half-pound burger , chili , cherry peppers , andouille , onions and Jack cheese on a pretzel bun . Read more

Can't go wrong with any burger . If you're a first timer, try the Kuma Burger

Best burger in town ? More like best burgers I've had... EVER. Order an extra side of anger and bourbon on tap as well . ????????????

Excellent burgers and enormous portions of build your own Mac n cheese . You won't go hungry. Metal music for some ambience too :)

Great spot! Lazer snake and anti-hero with the Pantera burger were a great combo!

Amazing the size of all the burgers ... Neurosis was great! Of seven ppl just one ate the fries , its really worth wait.

Best burger joint I've ever been to. Everything tasted awesome, many great beers from around the country , and the atmosphere and music selection is second to none.

can’t really go wrong with any burger . favorites are original kumas and mastodon.
