A Chicago classic (if not an American establishment at this point). A must visit if staying on the Magnificent Mile.

Iconic and divey! But a great streak burger, cold beer and nice people! Can you say "cheeseburger cheeseburger cheeseburger?"

Stopped in unplanned on walk back to hotel To check it out. Ordered a double cheeseburger and house IPA. Don't waste your time at smashburger one block away. Get to the Billygoat for a better burger at a better price, and get a good beer with it. Super fast food service, good bartenders, and a great vibe! Can't go wrong.

Old school spot! Trust me just get the double cheese burger! The single is not enough the double is just right. No fries just potatoes chips and tasty smashed burgers, salami sandwich ,hotdogs ribeye steak sandwich and a few signature burgers. You can get single, double and triples burgers! They are known for burgers!!! Oh by the way don't get in line until you're ready especially if they are busy! The burgers only come with cheese and meat. The condiments are on the side in a little mini bar. Pickles, onions, relish, ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise. Fix it your way! Lots of history and they have a cool bar. The vibe is very historical and the burger was truly delicious. Simple and great flavor. This place is a well oiled machine. If you can find it you are truly the G.O.A.T.! Hard place to find it's under a bridge!!!

While out and about walking around and exploring the city my family and I needed a quick meal. Billy Goat tavern was top of the list and seeing the amazing prices I knew it was a must go. When you walk in you definitely get old school vibes and love they have such a variety on their menu yet are all simple meals. I opted for the double cheeseborger with grilled onions and to wash it down I knew I had to try one of their in house ales. Meal came out quickly and I love that they have a condiment bar so you can pick what you want on. The pickles were so good from the bar that I had to go back for more and more to add to my burger. The burger was greasy and juicy. The perfect meal after a long day of walking, and washing it down with a cold beer was the perfect way to end our early dinner. I was amazed at the flavor and prices and know Billy Goat will be a must go every time I visit Chi-town.

My first time visiting and as a disabled person in an electric scooter I was discouraged by the stairs-at first. But the guy from inside saw me on the street and waved me over to the garage where he let me into the back door! They treated me like royalty, didn't make me stand in line and even brought my order over to my table for me! I couldn't have had a better experience from the staff... these guys are GREAT! 10/10 I always wanted a cheeseburger from here. THANK YOU BILLY GOAT TAVERN

The Weekend Guys are the Best! Customer service is wonderful. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. Cheese burger, Cheese burger, Cheese burger. No fries, Chips. No Pepi, Coke!

Absolutely recommend. We never come to Chicago without stopping here at least once. I had the Obama burger this time and it was perfect. The staff is incredible. Food comes out so fast. Thank you Billy Goat Tavern for a consistently great experience and amazing food!

Yes, yes...this is the inspiration for the running sketch in the early years of SNL when John Belushi, Dan Ackroyd, and Bill Murray played Greek employees of a greasy spoon that served... "Cheezborger. Cheezborger. Cheeps. Cheeps. No Coke. Pepsi." Even though over a half-century has elapsed, Billy Goat still capitalizes on the connection in their signage. I thought it might be fun to stop by for a cheezborger after our fulfilling architectural boat cruise. Despite its official address, it's actually below Michigan Avenue where there's a labyrinth of underground roads. After entering, the first sign you see says "Enter at Your Own Risk" (photo: https://yelp.to/EmO-DA6e8f). They're trying to retain their sassy reputation, but they're no Wiener's Circle. The server behind the counter was actually nice when we made our simple order. We decided to split the $5.59 Cheeseburger (spelled right on the menu - photo: https://yelp.to/UxvWuKcjZj). Still no fries, just cheeps, so we got a bag of Lay's Potato Chips and a couple of Diet Pepsis...no Cokes! The big draw for us were the piles of dill pickle slices and raw onions we gathered at the condiment table. We weren't picky. It hit the spot. FOOD - 4 stars...Cheezborger!...that's it AMBIANCE - 4 stars...the celebrity photo walls were worth perusing...otherwise formica and naugahyde SERVICE - 3.5 stars...nicer than you'd expect...they made us wear paper hats TOTAL - 4 stars...nothing fancy here RELATED - Exploring Chicago?
