Worst

Before I went here I always heard people rave about the place. I don't get it. The hamburger is average at best, pretty much bland and mushy. I can make a better one at home. ...

don't move the table 3/7/2008

went there tonight with my family of 5. good burger. there was 1 table of 3 in the entire place. about 20 open tables. as all the tables are round 4 tops, i pushed 2 tables together. the waiter immediately told me ""we don't allow you to move the table"" i thought he had to be kidding, he was not. when i asked why he said "" we just don't allow it"" remember when rest. went out of their way to accomodate their cutomers. not this place! as it was late and we were hungry we stayed. warning: don't move the tables!!!! it wouldn't have been too difficult for them to be nice, there still would have been about 18 open tables! more

I don't get it 3/15/2005

Before I went here I always heard people rave about the place. I don't get it. The hamburger is average at best, pretty much bland and mushy. I can make a better one at home. It is really nothing more than glorified fast food, especially when its busy. Get in, eat, get out. They should at least have a TV so you can watch sports, after all you are nothing but a hamburger joint. Cons: uninspired food, not relaxing more

Don't Miss Out! 5/13/2004

All I have to say is Awesome! The burgers at this place are just awesome. If you haven't tried them yet, you are just plain missing out. Best burger I have ever tasted hands down. And as a Beinlick's veteran, I must let you in a little secret - the seafood cocktail is great as well. Pros: Burgers, Solid Service, Northwoods Atmosphere more

Crowded but Great 7/2/2003

Charlie Beinlich's is almost certain to be packed and for good reason. The burgers are oustanding and the service is great. I'm not talking high school kids on summer break for a wait staff, this is a mature experienced staff who treat you like you are in a fine dining establishment. Don't let the crowd scare you, tables open up quickly & the burgers are worth the wait! Pros: Burgers, Wait Staff Cons: Small more

Best Burger Anywhere 7/21/2002

This is far and away the best place for a burger anywhere - just don't ask for lettuce or tomato or dessert. It is a wonderful bare bones place - always packed, filled with regulars, dark and cozy and truly unique. more
