Primetime Bar & Grill

Even if you could care less about what game is on, the smashburger creations at this Albany Park sports bar are worth checking out. The charred patties play a large part in their short menu, equally satisfying in standard cheeseburgers or a crispy quesadilla with sweet and spicy Maggi ketchup (ask for extra). Make sure to get their smashburger fries, which are loaded with two chopped-up patties, cheese, grilled onions, and jalapeños. Primetime can be pretty chill when Chicago teams take the day off, but expect a livelier space filled with locals most nights.
