Gretel opened in September 2020 in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood as a new concept from the acclaimed team behind Little Bad Wolf in nearby Andersonville.
The space is intentionally moody and intimate with black walls, dim lighting, and a chef's counter overlooking the griddle.
The Gretel Griddle Burger pairs precise griddle technique with premium ingredients, including a two-cheese melt and house garlic aioli.
The burger is wonderfully indulgent, with a cascade of garlic aioli and American cheese dripping out of every crevice.
Gretel brings an upscale approach to smashburgers without losing the soul that makes them great.
The griddle mastery here is undeniable. One of the best burgers in Chicago right now.
The folks behind Gretel have experience slinging pristine patties at Little Bad Wolf.
