Best Burgers in Schaumburg IL | 50/50 Bacon-Beef Patties | Frato’s Kitchen Skip to main contentSchaumburg’s Burger DestinationThe Best Burgers in Schaumburg Start with 50/50 Bacon-Beef Patties
Handmade Daily. Never Frozen. No Shortcuts.
While chains heat up frozen pucks, our culinary students grind Applewood-smoked bacon into fresh Angus beef every morning. That’s why our signature burgers taste different — because they’re made different.
The 50/50 Difference50% Applewood Bacon + 50% Angus Beef = 100% Flavor
Our signature patties blend Applewood-smoked bacon directly into fresh Angus beef, ground together and hand-formed daily. As the patty cooks, bacon fat melts through the beef — seasoning every bite from the inside out. No flavor packets. No chemical enhancers. Just real food made the hard way.
Signature Burgers
These aren’t menu items — they’re the reason people drive across Chicagoland to find us.
Best Seller
Chicago Prime Rib Burger
Steakhouse Meets Burger Joint
This record-setting creation stacks slow-roasted rosemary-infused prime rib on top of our signature 50/50 patties. Originally launched as the “Air Jordan Tribute Burger” in 2020, it held our all-time sales record until the I’m Fat Burger arrived.
What’s On It
Two 50/50 bacon-beef patties • Slow-roasted rosemary prime rib • Swiss cheese • Pepper Jack cheese • Braised mushrooms • Homemade steak sauce • Grilled Turano pretzel bun
Award-Winning Sauce
Whiskey Burger
Jim Beam Bourbon Meets Applewood Bacon
This burger showcases our award-winning Whiskey BBQ sauce — the same scratch-made recipe (Jim Beam bourbon + brown sugar) that helped us win “Best Wings in the ‘Burbs” at WingFest 2015. Complex layers of smoky, sweet, and tangy in every bite.
What’s On It
Two 50/50 bacon-beef patties • Whiskey-glazed Applewood bacon strips • Sliced cheddar cheese • Horseradish mayo • Red wine-marinated mushrooms • Grilled Turano bun
Podcast Collab
I’m Fat Burger
The Record-Breaker — Now Made the Original Way
Created with Jay Zawaski and Rick Camp from Chicago’s I’m Fat Podcast (revealed on Episode 100, June 2021), this stacked creation broke our all-time sales record within weeks of launch. It’s back to the original recipe — with BBQ pulled pork — and served on Texas toast because no bun could hold it.
What’s On It
Two 50/50 bacon-beef patties • BBQ pulled pork in spiced Whiskey BBQ sauce • Wisconsin aged cheddar mac & cheese • Three-cheese blend (Buffalo Milk Mozzarella, Whole Milk Mozzarella, Sharp Provolone) • Crunchy buttered breadcrumb topping • Whiskey BBQ drizzle • Grilled Turano Texas toast

What Burger Lovers Are Saying
★★★★★“The Chicago Prime Rib Burger is insane. You can tell the patties are handmade, and stacking prime rib on top? Genius. Worth every penny.”
★★★★★“The I’m Fat Burger lives up to the hype. Mac and cheese, pulled pork, bacon-beef patties — it’s ridiculous in the best way. Bring your appetite.”
★★★★★“I searched ‘burgers near me’ and found Frato’s. Now it’s my go-to. The Whiskey Burger with that bourbon sauce is on another level.”
