25 Degrees -- The Verdict
We Chicagoans are welcoming folks. So, we welcome this West Coast import to our midst. This boîte brings a baroque bordello brassiness to the burger bar battles. It also brought a wide range of opinion from our reviewers. 25 Degrees offers pre-designed creative burger options, as well as a build-your-own selection, drawing from some 16 cheeses, 14 toppings, and 13 sauces. We all agree on the helpful service, cool vibe, and a pleasant generosity with refills. I think we also would say you get a hefty burger for the $9 base price. Advocates appreciated the interesting combinations, careful preparation, and flavorful cheeses and toppings. Detractors derided a certain messiness in some of the combinations, questioned whether the $1 sauces added value, and disliked the herbed fries and bacon-wrapped-dates. Our modal reviewer summed it up: "Plenty of burger and interesting variety for the price; I just wished I liked it better." Low of 62; high of 89; average 79.
