Kuma's Corner

Its a small shack to say the least, with tables almost touching each other, one of those places, you probably would drive by and would miss it in a blink. Located in the corner of Belmont and Francisco Ave, this hidden gem is one that I feel every burger lover has to go to.

If your looking for your regular all american burger, or your regular cheeseburger, this is definitely not the place for you. But if you want a place that names their burgers after hard rock and metal groups, and their only purpose is to make a burger so creative it blows you away in more ways than one, oh yea, you just found your Graceland.

So once you've done waiting for your seat for about 40 mins, and taken down a few of their grand selection of micro brews from across the country and Canada, and just happy to get a seat, your probably gonna do what most do; bypass the salads, appetizer and sandwiches. Your time, effort and hunger generated by the 3 pints taken down is going to take you to "The Page"... "Best Burgers in Chicago".

Once you've gotten your laugh with the Burger names, such as Metallica, Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden... and 19 others, take your time to read through the build of the burgers. Don't forget to ask the monthly specials, it's a creation special to the month, that sometimes is not on their regular menu. The quality of the ingredients are nothing but the best, from prosciutto and pancetta, to andouille and sheboygan bratwurst, to a list of cheese that can top it all off, that will only leave you breathless...don't bother trying that list.

The staff which is ever so friendly are always great at recommending a good burger for the first comers. I do suggest you take their advice, at least for the first time. To wash it all down, how about their micro-brew list, which does the impossible. It surpasses their magnificent list of creative burgers.

So if your in the neighborhood, or have to drive 45 mins from the suburbs (yours truly), and just want to have a good burger...with a crazy and impressive twist, Kuma's Corner is the way to go. Trust me, it is worth the wait.
