Review: DMK Burger Bar, Lakeview, Chicago, IL
Order:
#4 burger, roasted hatch green chile, fried farm egg, smoked bacon, Sonoma Jack.
Parmesan truffle fries
Patty: I'd guess 1/3 lb, half inch thick, well seasoned and seared. Very good. 6/7
Bun: pretty tasty, could have held up better, but solid overall. 4/7
Accoutrements: Hatch Chiles were great, nice spice, cut in bite size pieces. Egg was perfect, slightly runny, almost sunny side up yolk, but not yolk exploding everywhere. Bacon also good, crispy without being crumbly. Cheese was lost in the mix. 5/7
Burger overall: 5.4/7
Fries: good fries, parmesan was a mess. I'd say most similar to Arthur Bryant's fries. 4/7
Beer selection: great, all localish Midwestern brews. Too many IPAs though. 5.5/7
Price: not bad in the area, spent $40 on burger fries and 2 local beers including tip. They do have good happy hour deals. 4.6/7
Atmosphere: good bar, not too big. Good music. Pretty crowded for before 6 on a Tuesday 5/7
Overall: 5.1/7, will go back, but wouldn't go out of my way for it
