Charly's Burgers

"The burgers at Charly’s, a counter-service spot in Hermosa, are exactly the kind of burgers we want when we’re hungover. The patties are a mixture of beef and bacon, which gives them a smoky flavor and keeps things juicy. They’re topped with the perfect amount of American cheese, grilled onions, garlic aioli, and pickles on a squishy bun that holds up to the toppings without spillage. So on second thought, it’s just the kind of burger we want to eat no matter how many drinks we had 12 hours ago." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru

"Charly’s is a counter-service burger spot with some of the best burgers in the city. There’s a short menu of about five, all of which are messy in a good way thanks to a generous amount of toppings and juicy patties made of beef and bacon. The buns are squishy but keep everything in place, and the well-seasoned fries are a perfect accompaniment. This place is also run by some of the nicest folks we’ve ever met, who cheerfully greet everyone and remember the orders of any regular who comes in (unsurprisingly, there are a lot)." - Adrian Kane
