Honestly love this place. I used to go here a lot when I lived by. Their food and drinks are delicious! The owners are always on point and stay true to who they are. If you want a good quick bite and drink this place is where you want to be. I usually get: BBQ lechon banh mi Strawberry and mango smoothie Fries Onion rings Tokyo dog [ new for me ] but this is amazing!

We have been coming here for many years now and it's always been a favorite and go to! Highly recommend if you're in the area, they serve great asian fusion bites. You can dine in or takeout. The service is quick, orders come out in 10-20 minutes. My favorite is the Seoul Burger as it has the extra touch of kimchi. Some other items I really enjoy are the Asian Chicken Salad, Banh Mi Sandwich (with Sesame Beef), and Chicken Tenders w/ BBQ sauce. From the drink menu I like the Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Thai Tea, Strawberry and Avocado Smoothie. The smoothies are made with real fruits and very refreshing. It's located within a bowling alley and has convenient parking. The dining area is homey and casual, it's great for large and small groups. A+ to the owners for always taking great care of us!

Burgers, dogs and a bahn mi. Asian inspired Bowling alley burger and dog restaurant. The Boba burger and dog were standard but in addition there were Japanese, Filipino and Korean inspired creations. Tried the Seoul Burger and a Tokyo dog. The Seoul burger had kimchi added. I didn't notice on the menu but kalbi flavored bacon and an egg were included. Aside from the kimchi it tasted like a standard burger with the added boost from the Bacon and egg. It was good but the Korean flavors were muted. I would see if more kimchi could be added next time. The Tokyo dog was a Tempura fried hot dog with a Japanese inspired carrot and radish lightly flavored vinegar dressing and nori. I've ordered this before and appreciate the difficulty in keeping the tempura batter crisp. Good try but I would work on bringing the tempura batter to the forefront. Fries were crisp. Only condiments were ketchup salt pepper. I would have liked sriracha. The bowling alley was not full of league bowlers and the restaurant was quiet and empty. I would return again and stop by when I'm not bowling.

Super Hidden Gem worth trying! We originally saw this on YouTuber Mikey Chen's video about Hidden Gems in Chicago Area. We were just out driving and saw the sign so we had to seize the opportunity to try it and we weren't disappointed! Parking isn't an issue. They share the lot with Classic Bowl since they're connected to it so they got a decent sized lot. You have to enter through the bowling alley to get into the restaurant. The bowling alley was nice and clean and so was the restaurant. Nothing too fancy but mega clean with a decent amount of seating. You can eat in or take it to go, that's up to you. Customer service was pretty good. Staff was polite and patient with us. You can tell they take their craft seriously. The staff also felt that they were a family which was nice. No issues on customer service at all. Food was delicious! We shared the Hawaiian Burger and some fries to go and we were super satisfied! Fries were delicious and just the right amount of saltiness! The Hawaiian burger was delicious and I think it matched the price. It doesn't look too big but the patty was thick and juicy. The spam complimented it just right. Between the two of us that burger filled us up. I'm not from here but I definitely see myself coming back next time. My boyfriend lives out here and he says he'll be back again! You guys should give them a try!

Burgers in a bowling alley sure why not? But these burgers are particularly stacked high with creative ingredients that work really well together. I had the BBQ lechon which had a delectable fried pork with skin and onion rings. Half a burger was good enough to satiate my hunger. Also had some of their fresh cut fries - which was well-done like I like it. Nicely seasoned and wonderful on its own without ketchup. The food was cooked to order so it's not super quick service and the dining room is no frills. The staff is great though as they recognize their regulars and their orders. I'd definitely be back, as the food is good and it's a great local business.

I cautiously entered the aging bowling alley to decide for myself if Boba Burger is as good as I've heard. After circling the parking lot to find a space during league play it better be. The menu is a big sign on the wall and there are a lot of interesting choices. The prices are good, too. The guy at the counter was friendly and helpful. I ended up ordering the Seoul Burger. It was simply incredible. Kimchi, kalbi glazed bacon, fried egg. A perfect blend of flavors and textures, and no cutting corners on quality. So freaking good! The Thai iced tea is delicious, too. SECOND VISIT: It was so good I had to bring my fiance back with me. I guess that friendly guy at the counter owns the place with his brother. Good folks, I enjoy talking to them. She isn't as adventurous as me and ordered the more basic Boba Burger. Perfectly seasoned, perfectly seasoned, perfect sear. She was happy. This time I tried the BBQ Lechon Burger. It isn't as over-the-top as the Seoul Burger but it was still delicious. Lechon is roasted pork belly. Paired with the ground beef, barbecue sauce, and topped with an onion ring, this is another winner. Their Vietnamese iced coffee is really good. The egg rolls are above average, I had to fight her for that last one. Their fries are nicely crisped and well seasoned. Bottom line: Yes, they have earned their reputation and I plan on working my way through the whole menu.

Outrageous burgers, boba and bowling? Sign me up! It's been a few years since I stopped in to Boba Burger, the restaurant inside Classic Bowl, the 1970s bowling alley. Seeing Yelp's "11 most outrageous Burgers" in the U.S., with the BBQ Lechon Burger named no. 9, made me curious so I drove to Morton Grove for lunch. Boba Burger is in the front of the bowling alley, but even so, I was confused because of the Waukegan/Caldwell street merge directly in front of Classic Bowl. I may have even made a somewhat unorthodox turn into the parking lot. There is ample parking. Enter Classic Bowl and then enter Boba Burger on the left. Unassuming, small, somewhat retro-looking -- hey, I got no Beef with that. I was flipping excited. I ordered the Seoul burger, 6 oz beef patty, cheese, kimchi, kalbi-glazed bacon, fried egg, lettuce, tomato-- as well as some Boba hand-cut fries. Also, I added an avocado smoothie with boba. Shall I recap? Lettuce dive in! A juicy delicious burger, reasonably priced, is a rare find! Did it meat my standards? I mustardmit it did! The burger was juicy, tasty with the addition of the kalbi bacon (nice and crispy), kimchi (more like a sauce), fried egg and nicely toasted bun. The only thing I did not relish was that the bun soon fell apart. They provided me with a knife and fork so I was able to finish the rest. Well done! The hand-cut fries were nicely browned, a little soft, but lightly salted and a generous portion. The avocado smoothie -- large, green, filled with soft and chewy boba -- let's face it -- it was not avocado this world, but it was tasty and good to try. I will try the BBQ Lechon on another visit. There are other interesting options that sound good also. Do I think that Boba Burger deserves the attention? Grill, you better believe it! As I said, a juicy delicious burger, reasonably priced, is a rare find!

Boba Burger is one of the best places in the burbs for a cheeseburger. It's honestly my favorite burger in the area. I usually get the regular Boba burger, but the BBQ Lechon burger is also amazing. Great bun, fresh, flavorful and juicy patty. I'm sad every time I finish it that I didn't get to savor it for longer. The rustic French fries are some of my favorite as well and they give you a ton. The hot dogs are great, and the Tokyo dog is a pretty cool concept for a hot dog. Definitely something I've never seen before - the tempura adds such a nice touch and the sriracha ketchup is so good. I also LOVE their fresh pickles. Both the beef and chicken Banh mi sandwiches are delicious and couldn't really decide which I like better.. I love both. Lastly, their salads are great. I love the Asian Chicken salad. The marinade on that chicken is something else. I always ask for double chicken because it's that good. The dressing is also the perfect amount of acid and sweet. It's one of my go-to's. You can't go wrong with anything here. The prices can't be beat and the owners are very friendly. You won't regret it!

Really delicious burgers and fries for a super reasonable price. All the burgers are under $10. I loved all the toppings for the various burgers they offer. My boyfriend got the Hawaiian burger and I got the Seoul burger. Both of us shared the chili cheese fries and got bobas as well. The fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The Seoul burger was stacked pretty high and got a bit messy to eat with the egg yolk. But overall it was a delicious burger. I understand why this restaurant is the number one restaurant in the Northshore area. Parking is a bit difficult to find on a Friday night because the bowling alley has a lot of customers, but the parking lot is pretty big so you'll just have to circle around a bit. Service was friendly, fast and efficient. I highly recommend giving this place a visit if you love burgers!

Boba burger always a solid choice at an affordable price. Who doesn't appreciate good food at a great price. I guess this is one of the few places I always seem o come back to over & over again. Today is my 26th check in & I can honestly say I've never had anything I didn't like. Loc & Tony are the 2 Vietnamese brothers that own this restaurant in a bowling alley. Yeah you heard that right a bowling alley. If you haven't tried this place yet you owe it to yourself to check it out. Lately I've been eating the Bahn Mi to reduce fat & cholesterol intake but their burgers are the bomb & @ a price point below market value for a comparable burger. I love this place and will continue to come back Hey is nothing else Tone Loc. lol (Wild Thing) hmmmm might be on to something here
