🎪🤡🍔 HE'S HERE. 🍔🤡🎪

We tried to ignore the strange laughter.

We tried to pretend we didn't see the oversized shoes in the kitchen.

We definitely didn't ask where the cotton candy came from.

But after days of mysterious sightings around Bamboozels...

The Creepy Clown has arrived.

🤡🍔 THE CREEPY CLOWN BURGER

A creation so bizarre... it shouldn't work.

Yet somehow it does.

🥩 Fresh, never-frozen beef patty
🧀 American cheese
🥓 Crispy bacon
🍭 Fluffy cotton candy
💥 Pop Rocks candy
🍞 Served on a toasted brioche bun

Sweet. Salty. Crunchy. Smoky.

And just a little disturbing.

🎪 WE HAVE QUESTIONS.

Why is there cotton candy on a burger?

Why does it actually taste good?

Why do we keep hearing carnival music when nobody is playing any?

We don't know.

The clown won't tell us.

🍽️ WEST DUNDEE’S SCRATCH-MADE COMFORT FOOD DINER ❤️

Many people know Bamboozels as a bar because this building has been a neighborhood tavern for many years.

But when we completely renovated and opened it in 2017, our vision was much bigger than that.

At our heart, we’re a diner.
Our passion is the food.

Our cooks come in hours early every day making comfort food from scratch using family recipes, homemade soups, sauces, fillings, desserts, and fresh ingredients.

🥩 Homemade Meatloaf Stackers
🍗 Chicken Over Biscuits with homemade pot pie filling
🔥 Award-winning fresh, never-frozen jumbo wings
☘️ Award-winning house-made corned beef sliced fresh for our Reubens
🍔 Gourmet burgers made with fresh, never-frozen beef
🐖 Slow-cooked BBQ pulled pork
🐟 Our famous hand-dipped Fish Fry — featured in the Daily Herald and called “the best fish fry in the area”
🥧 Homemade pies, Duffins, and bakery goodies made with love

We’re proud to serve the kind of food that takes extra time, extra effort, and real cooking.

The bar may be part of our history…
But scratch-made comfort food is who we are.

If you haven’t tried the food at Bamboozels lately, come see what everyone’s been talking about.
