Cheeseburger in Paradise

This is an outpost of the Key West-themed restaurant chain inspired by the Jimmy Buffett song -- the famous artist himself even performed at the 2003 oepning. The menu features island-inspired dishes like popcorn shrimp, Cuban sandwiches, Peruvian pork sandwiches and barbecue jerk ribs, plus salads and, natch, cheeseburgers. You'll also find lighter wraps and salads with a tropical tinge. A lengthy tiki drink list features eight different takes on Buffett's precious margarita, plus myriad other alcholic and non-alcoholic options. Weather permitting, the dining room is open air.

"Good burgers but tacky atmosphere"
Jen from Downers Grove - December 28, 2007
If you can get past the loud crowd, average service, and tacky atmosphere, you'll enjoy a good burger. The sweet potato chips are also excellent. ...
