Been going to Small Bar lately as my post-gym burger. They do smash burgers really well and it’s a reasonable $8 for a classic smash or you can spend more to add bacon, egg, and another patty.
They don’t take phone/online orders and they’re pretty busy on weekends but weekdays are perfect to settle in for a bite and their frozen banana daiquiri, although a bit pricey at $12, is really tasty.
Never had cheese curds anywhere else except here so I don’t know how they compare BUT they are great and the jalapeño ranch is a perfect complement.
Here are a few photos from the times I’ve been.

I’ve gone there a couple times and I don’t get why other people like them. They’re overpriced and you can get way better at RHR.
Woah a good smash burger and a banana daiquiri? That sounds rad, gonna have to check this one out. Ty op
That burger looks amazing! I prefer my egg a bit less runny, but still looks fantastic
Burger is good….. they need more veggie options. Really options on general. Not a whole menu butttt. BRING BSCK MAC AND CHEESE
The burgers are spot on, top 10 in the area for sure. I’ve been there many times in spite of their asshat bartenders. They always seem fucking annoyed with everyone. It doesn’t hurt to be decent to your customers, it’s your fucking job. If you can’t be bothered to understand your customers or provide a positive experience you can bet your ass that they’ll stop coming. There’s a bunch of great burgers nearby.
RIP old Small Bar 🙁
they need to add marinara as a sauce option for the curdssss
Lived in Chicago for 25 years. That burger is bomb guaranteed….
They just opened up a chicken pop up at Little Victories too!
Dude I’ll beat you up for bringing this to light. Keep it a secret!
“I felt they use too many onions”
There cheese curds are so fuckin good. They taste like garlic bread 😭
Ill try this out
7.5/10. Way too salty. Service sucks!
Damn!
Been several times — burgers salted to hell each time. Not worth the wait
