There are no words to describe just how good Kuma's is. Too bad others found out too. Expect a 45 minute minimum wait. more

We arrived at 5:30 on Saturday of Labor Day weekend and there were at least 20 people waiting outside. We put our name on the list for a one-hour wait and then walked around the sketchy neighborhood. By the time we were seated (a little over an hour), people were being told the wait was two hours. It then took... more

When you walk in, definitely expect to wait for a table - but the wait is well worth it. After a couple of seats opened up at the bar, we snagged those instead of waiting the half hour for a table. Now, given that it was a HOT day and this was lunch-time, the first thing we really wanted was... more

We discovered this gem on the internet as a burger/rock bar. So, it ticked all the boxes immediately! Once we got there we were not disappointed either. When we arrived it was heaving & we were told we may have to wait 45 mins approx for a table. We duly waited and after just 25 mins were seated & ready... more

My husband and I went there this past weekend. We arrived at 5:30 and we had a 2 hour wait. It wasn't too bad - we just found a little mexican restaurant down the street (it was too croweded at Kuma's) and had some margarita's and chips. We went back in 2 hours and we had to wait about 5... more

THE best burger. Evah. And they have 20 kinds! Seriously, I thought it was Five Guys but this place blows Five Guys (at least the facsimilie here in Chicago) out of the water. The hour-long wait is worth it. And did I mention the heavenly mac n' cheese? more

When I walked up with my fiance it was a weekend and really busy. Some how we managed to walk in the door and be seated in about 3 mins. Although typically the wait is longer, but you may get lucky like I did. more

Hands down... the burgers were great. However, I could not figure out if I was in some type of "Devil Worshiping" club or not. I was ok with the constant heavy metal rock, but the T Shirt that my waitress had on read "EyeHateGod"... was very disturbing... more

We waited for a long time, which from what I understand is the norm, but in hind site it was worth every second. They have a great selection of obscure beer and pretty much any kind of burger you could ever ask for. more
