Reviews for The Region - Handcrafted Hamburgers in Chicago, IL

I am a burgerphile, outright fanatic with over 40 years of looking for the best burger globally. I probably try a new place... weekly. I have been to 11 of the traditional “top 20 burger places in America”. I never expect much when I go to a newplace that was not recommended. But honestly… This place ROCKS. Will go again in couple days to see if I love it as much orwas just really hungry but I’m pretty sure this will make it into my top 5 of all time. Went back, as I always do when it’s this good and had a plain old burger with just sauce…just absolutely AMAZING!! Read more

the burger is very good esp because of the relish. The strawberry shake was very delicious as well. it gets 4/5 because the... fries were terrible (chilli cheese fries were gross prob worst fries i’ve ever had) Read more

Awesome little Burger joint in Roscoe Village. I'm from Indiana so you have to bring your A-game when you put a smashburger on... the menu and they definitely delivered! I got the Regionette and it was spot on! I just had a side of fries with the burger. Thefries were okay nothing to write home about as the burger is the star of the show. Super nice staff clean and I like that youcan sit outside on a nice day and enjoy your food. Read more

Great burgers and great representation of northwest Indiana style burgers(smash style,lacy edges). In my opinion they're better... than Schoop's! Walked in and I'm pretty sure the owner is who had helped us and served us. Very nice and down to earth, naturalcustomer service. Said he grew up in Merrillville Indiana(about 45 minutes away from chicago) which is where we live near by sothat was super neat! Burgers-delicious, juicy-but not too greasy, lacy flattened edges that exceed the limits of the bun but inthe best way possible. Those edges hold so much flavor and add a crisp texture when you bite into its side, which cuts rightthrough that juicy goodness. Annnnnnnd they have green river and green river shakes(like schoops if you're from northwestindiana!) Read more

Amazing burgers, got with everything on it and the sauce was perfect. The lacey edges are crisp and delicious. The onion rings... are thickly breaded, a different style and fresh. The owner told us everything is made in house. Not a lot of seating inside,maybe 4 tables max, but wasn't a problem when we went in the middle of the afternoon. Read more

Similar to Schoop’s, the burger is smashed and had crunchy ends, very tasty with the special sauce and relish. Definitely... will get a double next time. However, the fries was a bit greasy for me but it was still good. Read more

A saucy smash burger = best of both worlds. Look at that lacy edge, so good! Visited Chicago for a short trip and made the trek... from our Airbnb to this place. 100% worth the 30min walk in 26*F + wind weather. Read more

This is one of the best burgers I have ever had. I like flat burgers and these were really flat. I got the regionette which has... half the beef of the original but it was plenty. My only complaint is that it took 30 minutes to make my one burger and therewasn't many people there. Read more
