The Side Lot

WORLD FAMOUS SMASHBURGERS We focus purely on the fundamentals: perfectly seared grass-fed Angus beef, American cheese, tomato, onion, and pickle, all stacked on a classic brioche bun. Always approachable. Never fussy. The Local: Double Smashburger. The Legend: Triple Smashburger. Make it yours with thick bacon, a fried egg, or grilled onions. The secret is out in Wauconda — Let's Get Weird.

The Chicken Coop menu was crafted by the winning team of the Bulldog Business Battle. This unique competition challenged students from Wauconda High School to showcase their creativity, entrepreneurship, and culinary vision.
