“As a cook, tastes and smells
are my memories,
and I’m in search
of some new ones.”

Anthony Bourdain

The Dish on Cook’s

Cook’s Burger Bar is a wall-to-wall tribute to classic mid-century Midwestern restaurants and hospitality. We serve up a whimsical menu and aesthetic guaranteed to transport you back to Grandma’s house.

We are committed to showcasing local quality ingredients, including fresh certified Angus beef, local heirloom tomatoes and hydroponic lettuces.

We stock our bar with cans and RTDs, from beer, wine, and cocktails to niche non-alcoholic selections.
