I love burgers and I hate throwing around the term ""best burger"", but this is that place. The place is extremely small and only has about 12 tables, so be prepared to wait. The typical wait is about an hour, but I've been there when it was 2 and you couldn't move and had to wait outside. Everyone on the staff is tattooed and pierced and they couldn't be any friendlier. They don't serve Bud or Miller and have a sign to that effect, you'll have to choose a micro brew from their huge selection. As for the burgers, they are fantastic! Each burger is named after a heavy metal band and they are huge. The burgers come on a Labriola pretzel bun and they are pretty hard to get into your mouth. I usually order the Clutch burger, which is a fancy cheeseburger with 4 kinds of cheese and the cheese is about a quarter inch thick and melted all over the burger. Unfortunately besides the burger I've never had anything else at Kuma's, the burger is so big and so good there isn't room for anything else. If you like a big, juicy, well made burger, a huge beer selection and metal music, you have to try this place.
Pros: Best burger in Chicago, huge portions, large beer selection, great value
Cons: parking, looong wait
