Gretel
About
Gretel is a bar and restaurant at 2833 W Armitage Ave in Logan Square, near Armitage and California, and the sister spot to Little Bad Wolf in Andersonville. The kitchen is best known for a double-patty burger with American cheese, bacon and garlic aioli on an everything bun, which The Infatuation put on its August 2026 Chicago burger guide. For a splurge there is a $50 foie gras and egg burger that Sun-Times readers named in April 2026. The room runs as a neighborhood bar first, with the burger as the reason people cross town.
