Slagel Family Farm beef double smash with white American cheese, caramelized onions, pickles, and Dijonnaise on a brioche bun. A celebrated Chicago gastropub with Michelin pedigree — the burger score reflects the smash independently of the restaurant's broader acclaim.

Longman & Eagle is one of Logan Square's cornerstone restaurants — a whiskey-focused gastropub that held a Michelin Star from 2011 to 2017 and has carried a Bib Gourmand continuously since. It's the kind of place that put Logan Square on Chicago's culinary map before Logan Square became the Logan Square everyone talks about now.
The Double Smashburger is built around Slagel Family Farm beef — a respected Illinois farm supplier used by multiple Chicago fine-dining restaurants. White American cheese, caramelized onions, pickles, and Dijonnaise on a brioche bun. It's a well-constructed burger from a kitchen with serious credentials, at $21 it's priced toward the higher end of the Chicago smash market.
The 73 Smash Score reflects the burger independently — the Michelin recognition is for the full restaurant experience, not the smashburger specifically. The crowd component scores high (87) thanks to strong Yelp and Google ratings, but the editorial critics score (68) is lower, reflecting the fact that reviewers focus more on the broader restaurant than the burger in isolation. A first-party Smash Atlas visit is pending.
Longman & Eagle is a celebrated gastropub whose Michelin pedigree reflects the full restaurant experience. The smashburger score is evaluated independently — the burger is solid but does not carry the same weight as the restaurant's broader acclaim. Diners seeking a dedicated smashburger destination may prefer The StopAlong nearby; diners who want a great burger in an exceptional cocktail bar setting will find Longman & Eagle hard to beat.
Longman & Eagle is one of Chicago's great neighborhood restaurants — the whiskey list is legendary, the food is consistently excellent, and the smashburger is a worthy addition to the menu.
The Double Smashburger here is a genuinely good burger — Slagel beef, white American, caramelized onions, Dijonnaise. It's the right build for a gastropub that takes sourcing seriously.
Great bar, great whiskeys, and a surprisingly solid smashburger. The Slagel beef makes a difference — you can taste the sourcing. Not cheap at $21, but it's Longman.
This is the bar where Logan Square became Logan Square. The burger is one of the better ones in the neighborhood — the white American and Dijonnaise combo is underrated.
At $21 it's on the pricier side for a smashburger. The StopAlong down the road is a better pure smashburger destination if that's all you're going for. But if you're already at Longman for drinks, order the burger.
