"No, those giant wolf and owl murals at The Companion aren’t giving you the side-eye while you devour your burger—they’re probably just applauding your excellent choice. The Tower of Power burger is our favorite thing to order at this casual American restaurant on the Upper Westside, it’s stacked with two crispy-edged beef patties and all jazzed up with Million Island dressing (a smooth, dressed up version of old school Thousand Island). Between their chill roomy atmosphere and large patio, The Companion is great for a laid-back lunch alone with your laptop or with friends for a casual catch up." - jacinta howard
"The Companion does many things well, like their double patty burger. So even though this restaurant is hidden away in an Upper Westside neighborhood, it always fills up with regulars who come from near and far because they know the deal. And those who really know, get here on Wednesday nights when their fried chicken special is on the menu. Their golden brown chicken thigh sits on a bed of whipped potatoes, and sometimes comes draped in crisp shredded cabbage and sometimes with garlicky green beans. But no matter the side, the dish feels like watching fireflies from the porch at dusk." - jacinta howard
"The Companion has great things going for it, including the Tower of Power burger and a Wednesday night fried chicken special, both on our best-of lists. This Upper Westside spot draws families during the evening with great food and a comfortable bar-like atmosphere. The fried chicken features a golden brown thigh on whipped potatoes, with cabbage or green beans. Their famous burger, served daily, is a dressed-up version of that "whopping" nostalgic favorite: fresh beef patties with Million Island dressing (a housemade Thousand Island)." - demarco williams, nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"If you're ever fondly reminiscing over that famously "big" fast food burger, come to your senses and hit this spacious Upper Westside restaurant instead. For only a few dollars more, The Companion's Tower of Power burger is a way better, dressed-up version of that nostalgic favorite. The beef is super fresh, and it’s stacked with two crispy-edged beef patties that are slathered with Million Island dressing (a smooth, housemade version of old school Thousand Island)." - jacinta howard
