Absolutely amazing! We booked their tasting menu with alcohol pairing to celebrate my fiancée’s birthday. From start to finish this place takes you to another level of dining. Staff and service were professional and welcoming. Carson did a fantastic job helping us throughout the entire experience. The atmosphere and set up matched the live fire / open kitchen concept. Food creations were surprising and delicious, paired with unique cocktails and other beverages. All well balanced and presented to us in an artistic way. We were surprised by the fact that this place doesn’t currently hold a Michelin star. Compared to other restaurants with Michelin stars we’ve dined before, Warlord definitely deserves at least one. We highly recommend them for fine dining and special occasions!

Warlord’s is a must when you are craving a good burger in the city. I would say this is definitely top 5 in Chicago! Worth the money. We were seated at the chefs table where we got to watch the magic happen. The technique they use to grill their burgers is very unique and you can taste it from your first bite! Great experience! Dry aged burger patty was cooked to perfection! Flavors are rich and deep till the last bite so juicy, you completely forget that there’s no cheese on the burger it’s phenomenal…Very unique set up inside with a medieval feel. Dark, but very intimate. Staff and service was nothing less than great! I would recommend going 30 minutes before they open on a Monday, to give you better chances of seating they do not take reservations. 100% recommended!!

Dined at Warlord’s bar tasting menu ($225/person). Portions were small and the main course meat felt more like a show (lots of flame/flash) than a standout tasting, and it didn’t include some of their signature items like the dry-aged burger. Highlights today were the spicy scallop, the salmon, and the rum cake dessert. Surprisingly, the non-alcoholic pairing was the best part—more memorable than several of the courses.

The first time I went here, I was overall unimpressed as it wasn’t like it was bad, but it also wasn’t amazing. I’ve since gone back twice to get the burger and each time I love the burger more and more (along with their dirty martinis). In a world of smash burgers, it’s refreshing and nice to have a thick burger that lets the meat do the talking. The aioli and grilled onions along with the bun just work together perfectly. Easily top 5 burger in the city.
The rum cake and the oysters weren’t too bad either but every time I go here I’d struggle to not get the burger and a dirty martini every single time as it’s that good.

The rare to medium rare 12 oz 35 day dry age steak was the most tender and flavorful steak I have had in a while. Neither expensive nor cheap at $70, it is a fair price and amazing value compare to steak I had from Hawksmoor or RPM. The spicy Old Fashion was a hit. As a non carrot fan, the roasted carrots appetizer. was surprisingly good. Their aged raw salmon appetizer was good too. I love their burger. Heads up, it does not come with fries.

Went on a 1h 20min power walk from Jefferson Park and ended up at Warlord for a spontaneous dinner. Sat right in front of the live fire grill, which felt like sitting in a medieval tavern but with loud rock music and contemporary fare. A bizarre combination, but it works really well. I was last here in 2023, and I’m glad they are now Michelin-listed.
I had the Raw Bigeye Tuna and Melted Eggplant, paired with a sparkling German Sekt and a Vinho Verde from Portugal.

A nice burger and they have $4 old styles so it’s a win in my book.
Burger was good, had charred onions and aioli, they make all their sauces in house.
Only complaint is they don’t have ketchup, could be an easy fix, they also didn’t have French fries but served the burger with okra instead and the okra was bad.
Fries and ketchup would go a long way here, but fantastic burger.

I had been wanting to have dinner at Warlord for so long. I came here last year on my birthday but didn’t make it in time and their seating had filled and they already had the waitlist full for the next seating. So, this year I tried again, and it was easier. No wait, got in, got seated at the bar. The atmosphere is really cool and intense. That’s about as good as it got for us.
I really wanted to try the burger after all the reviews, but I also wanted the salmon. Since this was a birthday dinner, I asked my bf to get the salmon so that we could split our dishes. Cool. Cool. Cool. Except nothing was great or worth the hype or the price.
At the bar, at some point before our food arrived, one of the bartenders was shaking up a cocktail and the 2 sides weren’t sealed as he shook it, so it spilled on my boyfriends neck and collar. Womp. The bartender apologized profusely, and gave him two big napkins. That was it. When a dining *experience* costs this much money and a cocktail gets squirted on you in a place that is probably run like a tight ship to create an experience for its diners, something like this is kind of unacceptable. I thought maybe he would make it up to him or offer something, but nope.
When the food came, his Salmon portion was 3in.x3in. IT WAS TINY! It melted like butter in our mouths, but each of our shares of this 3x3in (1.5×3)salmon were gone in 2-3 bites, for a whopping $36! I thought maybe that’s just the fancy meal size and we should accept it, but at the end of the meal, when we were putting on our coats, I saw the the couple next to us also ordered salmon, but they had a portion almost twice as big! Who is cutting the salmon and why wasn’t it consistent?! Since these entrees don’t come with anything on the side, I feel like the consistency should at least have had us covered to make sure we actually got a whole entree and not half of one.
The burger was good. I wouldn’t say it was the best I’ve ever had, but it was very good. Again, I’m gonna come down on the price, and maybe I wouldn’t be as disappointed if the salmon hadn’t soured the food poo art of the experience. This was split with my boyfriend, and I guess I would have had to share it no matter what since his entree’s salmon portion was so tiny. Nothing comes with anything on the side. Well, actually, the burger did come with a 2×2 chunk of pickled radish (daikon?) on the side, but nothing else.
Our drinks were fine.
He paid since it was a birthday dinner and I did snap a pic of the receipt, but I wish I had paid attention! They charged a $3.95 service fee! Service fees are incredibly irritating at most places, but to add it here where it’s upscale dining that is already pricey. I assumed whatever it’s for would be covered in the pricing or that if they’re charging a service fee in addition, then there would be better service.
I can’t say that anyone was attentive to us, and I don’t remember any interaction besides being seated, our drink order being taken, food order being taken, bar tender spilling some cocktail on my bf, food brought, check brought and card charged. Nothing memorable except that our Salmon was noticeably tinier than someone else’s and my bf got squirted with a cocktail shaker. This was a disappointing experience. I can’t say I’d recommend it to anyone I know. I don’t know if others are sold on the hype or our experience was just that far off.

Food is very tasty. Mushroom is our favorite dish, even my 11 year old son loves it. Highly recommend this dish!!
Duck and burger are also good but it missing sides especially duck should be served with potatoes or vegetables to add more variety of texture and flavor.
The atmosphere is good for young people or it is perfect for dating. On the other hand, I’m older and dining with kid. It’s too dark for us. Inside only candles are used. It’s pretty dark. I can’t see the menu…have to use flashlight from my phone.
Other than that, I don’t see the sign of the restaurant at all. I couldn’t find the restaurant until I saw people walking in .

Been here multiple times and honestly this place never disappoints.They really perfected the craft John and Emily touching every plate, the attention to detail is on the highest level. This is the best burger in the city! Honestly I’m Shocked they don’t have a star. Its raw, real, unapologetic and just simply perfection.
