Dive Bar w/ Great Grub!. Ok, if you're looking for shabby chic or whatever the buzzword might be for neaveau cool this is not it. This is a true dive. That being said, I love it! The burgers are the best that I've found in Chicago and the atmosphere is dark, dank and beyond relaxed. There are always a few regulars around and the service is what you would expect at a dive, good when they're not out back taking a smoke break. If you're into good food and nostalgic old places I highly recommend Goldyburgers. If you're a snob, don't go.…
Who Knows What Is Growing On The Tables.
The worn conditions of the tables makes you wonder what is growing on them. Germs, sticky yucky. No professional server, just some guy from the back in an outdoor jacket probably because it was so
cold in there.
The burger, I can make a better one at home easily. Badly charred on the outside and I ordered it medium. It was as dry as can be.
We ordered ice tea and were surprised when we asked for a refill we were told no refills. The small plastic glass for $2.25 was way over priced.
It is too bad we made a special trip for this alleged god burger and were greatly disappointed. Never again.…
Nothing Fancy just a great local place. Goldy's is a simple place. Simple menu, simple decor, and simply the best burgers. This is a neighborhood place, not a corporate tavern, it is family owned and operated. The Royal Blue Burger is my favorite. The tasty beef, the crispy bacon, the smooth fresh blue cheese. It cannot be beat! The Zuccinni Fries are a must along with thier onion rings & cheese curds. If you go in looking for a great burger in a place that has been around since the 20's, Goldy's takes the prize. Love it!!…
Not that great. I kept seeing all of these best burgers in Chicago lists and Goldy Burger was always near the top, so I had to try it. I went there mainly for the burger, not the atmosphere or to hang out and party. The burger seemed like something I would make at home for myself, there was nothing special about. Everything tasted like they just went to the local grocery store and bought ingredients for a basic hamburger. The bun was awful, I'm pretty sure it was a local store brand bun and it was very thin. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and the bacon tasted like it was made a week prior. The bacon was so hard it poked through the thin bun and it was all I could do to tear it with my teeth. The hamburger patty itself was just a big ball of meat and yes it was round. There is no seasoning or anything special about it, just a ball of meat. This is pretty close to the worst burger I've had in the Chicago area and I could name 10 better burger places right off the top of my head.…
