Smashburgers with crispy edges, juicy patties, and tangy sauce
"Inside Small Bar in Logan Square, this burger spot turns out smash burgers that “do everything you want”—a perfectly executed burger you wouldn’t expect from that location, as chef Jake Potashnick put it—making it a reliable after-dinner, after-service hangout for industry teams." - Ximena N. Beltran Quan Kiu
"Despite being crammed into Small Bar’s equally tiny kitchen, Patty Please is a massive burger-smashing force from the Taco Sublime team. This Avondale pop-up presses beef into pristine doily-esque circles with a fantastic griddled crisp. But the patties’ center stays moist, fusing perfectly with the American cheese and soft potato roll. Our go-to smashburger here is the Pleaser, which gets a tangy kick from their signature sauce and sweetness from grilled onions. Plus, at $8 a burger ($12 for a double), you can get garlicky cheese curds and a sweet, citrusy frozen banana daiquiri without first checking your bank account." - john ringor

But the patties’ center remains moist, fusing perfectly with the american cheese and buttery-soft potato roll. The classic cheeseburger is great, but our go-to order at the bar or in a booth with friends at 12:36am is the Pleaser. It gets a tangy kick from their signature sauce and sweetness from grilled onions." - adrian kane, john ringor
"Open until 2am Sunday-Friday, 3am Saturdays Just because you want a burger during the witching hour doesn’t mean you have to subject yourself to a sad parade through a drive-thru. Instead, head to Small Bar in Avondale and grab an excellent smashburger from their resident pop-up, Patty Please. They press beef into pristine doily-esque circles with a fantastic griddled crisp.

"While we like hanging out at Small Bar in Avondale with friends just fine, all we really need to be happy here is an excellent burger from their resident pop-up, Patty Please, and a refreshing Old Style on tap to wash it all down. The patties are pressed into pristine doily-esque circles with a fantastic griddled crisp, while the center remains moist and fuses perfectly with the american cheese and buttery potato roll. Sitting at the bar or patio is great if it’s not too busy, but even if it’s standing room only, we don’t mind as long as we have a juicy Pleaser burger in our hands." - john ringor, veda kilaru
