I'm not a big fan of burgers. It would have to be pretty damn good for me to actually say I enjoy one. So please trust me when I say that the burgers at Kuma's are awesometastic! I may even go so far…

I've been holding off on this, because I've been nervous about the backlash I'll receive from dropping a 3-bomb on Kuma's. I'm sorry!!!

As a vegetarian, it feels weird to say that kumas is by far the best burger I have ever had. By burger I mean subbing that messy-grease filled meat patty for a juicy portabello mushroom cap. Pretzel…

I have been going to Kuma's regularly for over two and a half years and they have, in my opinion, the best burger in the city. It's unique to see such a wide variety of high quality burger toppings…

Heavy Metal with a side of fries. Good beer selections, great staff, and top quality burgers that are inventive and exciting. I will be going to this place again real soon. ***UPDATE 7-24-2008***

There's probably crack in the burgers. Very good. But so much food that I can only do it once a month or so. Which is probably good, because the kitchen is small and the wait times are borderline…

If I could eat here five days a week without suffering a massive grabber (heart attack), I would gladly do it. Kuma's is a dark cave of a bar with a small seating area, with heavy metal blasting at…

My favorite burger place, however, unfortunately it also seems to be everyone elses. So, that in mind, I'd say eat here at either odd hours or try to be rather early. That way you can get your food a…
