Bellemore -- The Verdict

Come for the ambience; but you'll probably find something better than the burger. Our biggest fan wrote: "I enjoyed the burger very much. The meat was extraordinary and well seasoned. Perfect handling and an exceptional bun. Not a creative effort in the slightest and the cheese was hidden/too mild in flavor." We also found the lack of fries disturbing, particularly given the substitute chips that were not up to the task. "Why not serve something like fries if you refuse to serve fries, but yet want to sell a cheeseburger? Chips didn’t hold up to the task."  Most found the burger better looking than it tased. Another noted: "Reminds me of a room service prep — expensive, hunky, but not great flavor. The condiments didn’t carry enough of a flavor load either. And the chips were a complete 'meh.'" Again, though, a lovely room. By all means, go to Bellemore, jus not for the burger. P.S. Don't forget to check out some of the best restrooms in the greater Chicagoland area. Low of 61; high of 86; average of 73.
