The burgers are fantastic--definitely the best in Vernon Hills. Huge portions so we usually have leftovers later. The stuffed jalapeño poppers are the best I've ever had, and a generous portion, can't recommend them highly enough. Love the music and movies. Great takeout service also.
My boyfriend ordered the Sourvein burger & I ordered the Kuma's special, both were amazing! Big portions and sweet potato fries were toooooo die for!
I have been to kumas about 9ish times and I can't explain how amazing these burgers are. One of the largest set of burgers I have ever seen and the size is equal great as the flavor.
Haven’t been to the Chicago version in decades but this place hit the spot. Almost as loud as the original, the vibe here is family. Lots of multigenerational families unlike the bar in Chicago. The food could’ve been better suffering from inattentive overworked staff who let it sit and the food get cold. The burgers were excellent and huge. The flavors still very good and combinations tasty. The Kuma burger with egg and bacon soared without the lettuce and tomato and the Mastodon was excellent too. Fries a bit cold but so was the beer! The Mac and cheese was topped with caramelized onions and bacon and was sinfully rich and delicious. Took those leftovers home! Definitely would return if I need a fancy burger fix.
First time venturing of the OG Kuma’s. Ambiance is far more conventional, but still there’s head-banging music playing, just at a lower volume, and it’s brightly lit as opposed to the original.The mac and cheese was phenomenal, as always. Creamy and you can pick your own ingredients.We also had the plague bringer (solid but difficult to grab onto), pig destroyer (fantastic pulled pork sammy), and Goatsnake (very yummy indeed).
I absolutely LOVE the Mac n cheese here. However yesterday was disappointed when I ordered the Mac with garlic, chicken, mushrooms & broccoli. As you can see from the picture there was almost NO broccoli. I actually found 3 small pieces. I called to inquire (I mean $2.00 for additional ingredients isn't cheap) & was told portion size was weighed out & that is that. So I think I may skip the extras in the future, doesn't seem worth the extra money. Still was super delicious though.
Very different atmosphere than what I am used too. Loud Rock music and different vibe. Overall, I kinda liked it. The food was good. You order everything through your phone and someone will bring it to you. Just a heads up, they will add an automatic tip onto your tab through the software that they use, I don't mind paying for a tip but there is no traditional waiter checking up on you, refilling drinks, etc, to justify a tip for at this location. Overall, it was a good experience.
friendly staff, delicious food and an excellent assortment of drinks!!
The service was quick. Their menu and ordering was all done on your phone which is nice and convenient. I got the Goatsnake burger which ment my expectations. They were out of their burger and Mac of the month which was what we went there for but I wasn't disappointed with what I got instead
This place has slid a bit downhill lately. The burgers are still good and creative, but I recommend carry out instead of dine in. Their switch to a new format has the servers essentially scurrying around but not even looking at you and talking to you, so it's more like a fast casual restaurant these days, but without the fast casual prices. They messed up 2 of our orders but you can't even get the waiter's attention to tell them about it. The owners of this place need to train their servers to at least try to talk to and check in on their customers. Restaurant price for fast-casual experience, not worth the money. If you want their burgers, get carry out. But there is a lot of competition in this space so it may or may not be worth it. They used to be better until this recent change.
