The suburban branch of it's Belmont Ave flagship, Kuma's has a well-deserved and wide-ranging reputation for awesome burgers, and this visit did not disappoint. A scion of the original Kuma's in Chicago, this location is perforce, larger, newer and cleaner than its namesake in the city, but the menu, meals, and beer selection do an admirable job of capturing the original. Metal music on the PA and the video screens, and tattooed servers helps convey the Kuma's KMA attitude. They are what they are, no apologies. As they so delicately put it, "come f_(#ing eat". While not necessarily suited to younger or more sensitive restaurant patrons, Kuma's will provide a delicious gut-busting litany of entrees. For this visit, a Friday lunch visit, after being quickly seated and served, it was a "Plague Bringer - Crushed Garlic, Housemade Hot Sauce, Pepperjack, Jalapenos, Tortilla Strips, Roasted Garlic Mayo, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion" served at the requested medium temp, juicy, spicy and sweet, accompanied by some excellent food-coma-inducing fries.
Their beer selection is quite good, and features many excellent local marques, covering 32 taps and an additional 32 bottle selections.
X-Factor - If you find the metal subculture off-putting, stay away. If you like it, or are at least willing to risk it, it will pay off handsomely. Don't plan on eating again for 12 hours or so....
Recommendation:
Dig out that black concert t-shirt, get hungry, and go f'###ing eat. You won't regret it.
Prost!
The Scale:
- Wow! Drop everything and go. It's a Destination - plan a trip.
- Add this to your beer journeys in this region.
- Stop if you're in the neighborhood.
- Skip it.
