Having grown up on the West Side and being of Polish descent, I’ve had my fair share of trips to the neighborhood “Polish Halls.” Most people only visit these halls on Pulaski weekend. I dig it. I was born Pulaski weekend, and heck, who doesn’t enjoy the occasional accordion? The thing is, these halls operate year round, and one of them plays host to the best burger in town.
Barb’s Burgers
This is Barb, the Wonder Cook
For those that have been there, that’s all I need to say. You see, this post is actually well past due. We’ve been going to St. George’s Hall on Quarry (between Leonard & Richmond) every Thursday for nearly 6 years now. Everyone that comes along agrees, this is literally The. Best. Burger.
Barb cooks the burgers along with the help of a few select family members. She’s there every Tuesday and Thursday and for a mere $4 you get a giant burger, a bowl of kapusta, a bag of chips and a side of pickles. These amazing meat patty delights keep St. George’s thriving year round. Everyone knows Barb and everyone loves her burgers.
If you don’t believe these burgers are world famous, check this out.

So happy you guys did a post on Barb’s burgers
They truly are the best!
I have known for a lifetime my mother is the worlds greatest cook. My favorite which is her pan fried chicken mashed potatoes and milk gravy I just love. But she does make the best burger in town. I love ya Mom. Your favorite son, Johnny
John – You’re very fortunate to have grown up with Barb’s cooking everyday! We’d like to make it down to the hall sometime for her Mexican dinners. I bet they’re amazing!
