"It exudes the best juice ever, producing a little liquid steak-’n’-egg meal of pure protein."

Bill Daley

"They are well-made, carefully seasoned and topped with a compelling mix of garnishes. I can still smell the aroma of just-sauteed mushrooms wafting up from my Neurosis burger."

Dan Myers

"It’s nothing short of burger perfection, and it’s the best burger in America."

Mason Johnson

"Eating a gigantic bar burger seems insane when you’re under this kind of pain. But that’s exactly what I did. Kuma’s is that good."

Kailley Lindman

"The burgers at this heavy metal meat emporium, just like the tunes it blasts, are not for the faint of heart and a proper sacrifice to the Dark Lord involves devouring a Neurosis."

Christine Quinlan

"The charity-minded, heavy-metal-music-loving beer-and-burger bar in the Avondale neighborhood offers 18 different burgers served on pretzel rolls, including a signature version with bacon, cheddar cheese and a fried egg."

Sean Cooley

"You've likely heard tales of Kuma's meaty conquests by now (see: the eponymous burger topped with bacon, cheddar, and a sunny side-up egg on a pretzel bun)."

Amy Cavanaugh

"What’s the draw? Well, the Slayer burger, for one—a pile of fries topped with a half-pound burger, chili, cherry peppers, andouille, onions and Jack cheese on a pretzel bun."

Siofra McAllister

"The huge burgers are served on heavy pretzel rolls and some winning combinations include hot sauce and jalapeños ("Plague Bringer" – don't let the name put you off) or the Kuma classic of cheddar, bacon and egg."

Daniel Gerzina

"The iconic metal-themed restaurant and bar has put out a variety of creative, thick burgers for many years, including the burger of the month specials and the commotion-causing "Ghost Burger" topped with a communion wafer."
