What People Are Saying About Kuma's Corner

In Short – The pub-like exterior belies the lodge-inspired interior at this eatery. Wood abounds, from the long inlaid bar to the vaulted cross-beamed ceiling. Three flat-screen TVs, vintage posters and local artwork adorn the whitewashed walls. The comfort food is eclectic, featuring standbys like mac 'n' cheese and meat loaf alongside pork potstickers and Mexican favorites. Craving beef? Try the Kuma Burger, made with a half pound of Angus, bacon, cheddar and a fried egg.

Kumas is the best burger u will ever eat. It honestly is the most creative burger joint in the chi. I don't know how people can post bad things about this place. If anybody was to ask where should I go for a burger I would say KUMAS CORNER!!!

Not all it was cracked up to be!

Ok, I get this place is "gourmet" burgers and all, but why are the fries not hand cut? That would be a good place to start. Next I've had better burgers, and just as inventive ones, so the real questions is, is it the ambiance? Probably. I was there on the Friday over Memorial Day Weekend, and it was packed. Sure the wait was an hour to get a seat, but for real, why another hour for a burger and fries? There were three people at our table, and none of us ordered any of the more complicated burgers. Mine was something actually akin to a Red Robin burger. So if you must have ear splitting death metal, and slasher movies on the big screen this is the place for you. If you want a good burger without all the madness skip this place. Chicago is jammed with awesome burger joints I'd suggest one of them instead.

  • Pros: good food, but not good enough!
  • Cons: wait was 2 hrs, music was ear splitting

Can't comment on the food, but service was subpar.

I heard great things about the place and anticipated a long wait. So, a group of 6 of us showed up and was told it was going to be an hour and a half wait which we anticipated. We were patient, got some beers and waited. We began to notice that people that showed up after us were getting seated, and we asked what the deal was. The lady playing hostess just told us to wait and she will seat us as soon as possible. Trying to be accomodating, we waited for the alloted 1.5 hours. At that point, we have seen at least 4 groups who arrived after being seated. We asked again what the deal was and was told that because we are a party of 6, she can't seat us until a party of 4 and a party of 2 leave... yet she has been seating those people before us. All she needed to do was anticipate which two tables relatively close together is leaving, and hold them. But that would obviously require too much brain power to do. She obviously don't get that when you have a wait list, you sit people according to the waitlist as much as possible.

I would only go there if you are in a group of 4 or less because otherwise, you will be waiting, literally, for eternity before getting a seat.

  • Pros: food.. i guess if I was allowed to take a seat
  • Cons: god-awful hostess
