Burger Restaurants in Illinois

When Guy Fieri rolled his red Camaro into Illinois, he discovered a burger scene that proves the Land of Lincoln knows how to stack a patty. Between 2007 and 2012, the spikey-haired host featured four Illinois burger joints on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, and every single one is still flipping burgers today. From the bustling streets of Chicago to the charming suburb of Wadsworth, these restaurants have earned an impressive average rating of 4.4 stars from hungry diners.

Chicago leads the pack with two standout spots, including the creative bopNgrill and the acclaimed DMK Burger Bar, both boasting 4.5-star ratings. Head north to Wadsworth and you’ll find The Shanty, another 4.5-star gem that caught Guy’s attention. Whether you’re craving classic smash burgers or inventive flavor combinations, these Triple D-approved destinations deliver the kind of off-the-hook, out-of-bounds burgers that had Guy reaching for his signature catchphrase.
