    cheeseburger and french fries
    Ben B.

    Do you miss the Nerf-flavored hamburgers you used to eat in your lunch room at school? If so, Burger Bull is your jam. This is a tiny, dimly lit restaurant that serves up burgers that look like they were created in a hurry from whatever was left in the fridge. I got the Texas burger and it did not taste good. The meat wasn't seasoned at all. It was cooked to a sad grey interior. There was roughly a 1/2 pound of cole slaw on the bottom. There was hardly any BBQ sauce applied. You could almost imagine the chef making this with one hand, while scrolling through Tinder with the other. My wife abandoned her burger halfway through. Just wasn't worth the calories, I guess. My 2-year-old son enjoyed the chicken nuggets, though. So I guess that's something. We were not welcomed when we entered the restaurant. When the food came out, the server just dumped it wordlessly at our table. No one seemed like they wanted to be there. And now I understand why. Steer clear.

    Burger Bull is located on Elston Ave (walking distance from my house). They took the space formerly occupied by one of my favorite restaurants Saigon Grill. It was sad to see Saigon Grill go but life goes on. I don't know why, but lately I had a hankerin for a burger so I decided to check out Burger Bull. As the name suggests they have a number of burger options along w/Gyros, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, appetizers....I opted to go w/their house burger that starts w/a 1/3lb Patty that comes w/cheddar cheese, tomato, onions & lettuce. I added bacon (cause everything is better w/bacon & an egg). The burger itself was a little disappointing as you could tell it was preformed in a perfect circle w/perfect uniform thickness (probably frozen). It was also lacking seasoning & was bland. After adding the lettuce, tomato and onion it was a decent burger. Now you add the bacon and fried egg & that kicks it up a notch. The price was incredibly reasonable $6.99 for a burger and fries. You add the bacon $1.00 & egg $1.00 and you have a better then average burger. As I mentioned the burger came w/fries that were pretty good, cooked nice and crispy Decent food, good service and good prices.

    I've been wanting to try Burger Bull for years. It's right on Elston Ave and I love me a burger. I finally got the chance to check it it out the other day. Inside, the place is somewhat small, but it didn't feel crammed either. There were about 10 tables or so. Some seated 4, others were high tables that sat 2 or 4. You order your food at the front and they bring it out to you. Not only does Burger Bull have burgers, they also have tacos, tamales, milk shakes, pizza puffs and wraps -- it was kinda all over the place. Being at BURGER Bull, I went ahead and went with their House Bull Burger. The House Bull Burger had lettuce, tomato, onions, bull sauce, cheddar. The burger consisted of a 1/3 lb. 100% black angus patty. It came with served with fries. The burger was ok. I feel like the patty was not homemade but was premade. It reminded me of the frozen burger patties that you get at the grocery store to bring to a barbecue. I was hoping for more of a flavorful burger, but it wasn't unfortunately. I also got to try the Texas Burger, which I did like better. The burger consisted of lettuce, coleslaw, onion rings, sweet and spicy BBQ sauce, and cheddar. We also ordered the mushroom appetizer, which consisted about a dozen deep fried, heavily battered mushrooms, and a side of ranch. Overall, these were good. Service was also good. We got our burger pretty quickly and there was a drink dispenser where we got our waters. The staff was nice and friendly. But burger-wise, I've definitely have had better. Maybe try out another food item instead. We saw a few Little Leaguers come in for the milk shakes, so maybe that's worth a try. But yeah, for a place with a name that has the word "burger" in it, I was really hoping for their burgers be the star MVP on the menu. BATHROOM REVIEW - there's only one bathroom and it's coed. Inside, the bathroom was rather tiny and consisted of a toilet and a floating sink. Strangely, the faucet had no handles so you had to twist on the faucet to wash your hands. There was also no paper towels in either the roller or the dispenser. Soap dispenser on the wall was empty too, but there was a bottle of Dial soap dispenser on the faucet counter. Sit or squat? Squat.

    Bland chicken sandwich (I only ate half), no a/c, soda fountains down. The theming for the place is interesting - there's a painting of a bull with a penis. With so many places to choose to eat from, I'd pass on this one personally

    Cheeseburger

    I thought I'd try them again. Sorry I did. I really don't know how they make these burgers. There was no grill activity when I was there. Like last time, only ate half of the burger before I tossed it.

    My first time dining here was a good experience. The gyros dinner and Texas burger were delicious. Good portions for the price. I'll have to try their hot dogs next time.

    Good food! Cheap prices! This place is in my neighborhood. So I'll be coming back in the future.

    I had this huuuuuuge craving for burgers. I haven't had a good one in weeks! I wanted to go somewhere close to home and affordable. This place hit the spot. This place is located on the corner next to the bar. I was little wary on the exterior but the interior was very clean, modern, and the mural on the wall really pulled the restaurant together. I ordered the food to go. My god, when she handed me my bag I could smell the amora from the bag. My mouth watered! I am not joking neither. I ordered House Bull burger, Chicago hot dog, onion rings, and cheese sticks. House Bull Burger was pretty good. The patty was much thicker than I was expecting and very juicy. The house bull sauce was tasty as well! Chicago hot dog was pretty standard. I would say it was tasty, but not as good as other places. It wasn't as greasy as other places so I could appreciate that. Cheese sticks were rich with cheese. There were more in that bag than I thought which made me a happy camper. Onion rings were good but nothing to be blown away. I will come back and try other burgers and possibly a shake? I skipped on the sweets this time but next time I will be ready!

This hotline is available 24 hours daily to assist with reservations, flight Changes, group booking, rebooking, Cancellations, refunds and all other Travel enquiries. ## Traveling for an Important Milestone I was flying to another city to attend my university graduation ceremony. Since my family was already there, I was traveling alone and feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness. During boarding, one of the flight attendants noticed the graduation cap sticking out of my backpack and casually asked if I was heading to a graduation. We chatted for less than a minute before everyone settled into their seats. I honestly didn't think anything more about that conversation. ## A Surprise During the Flight About halfway through the journey, the same crew member walked over while serving refreshments and handed me a small paper napkin folded in half. Inside was a short handwritten message that simply said: "Congratulations on your graduation. Wishing you success in whatever comes next. Enjoy your special day!" It wasn't signed with a name or made into a public announcement. It was just a quiet, thoughtful gesture. I was genuinely surprised because they had taken the time to remember a conversation that had lasted less than a minute. ## A Memory That Stayed with Me The rest of the flight was smooth and comfortable, but that little note stayed in my pocket for the entire weekend. After the ceremony, while unpacking my bag at home, I found it again. Instead of throwing it away, I kept it inside one of my books because it reminded me that kindness often comes from unexpected places. ## Why I'll Remember This Airline Airlines often compete on prices, schedules, and onboard services, but experiences like this are impossible to advertise. The aircraft was clean, the departure was on time, and the service was excellent--but what made this journey unforgettable was the genuine human touch. Years from now, I probably won't remember which seat I was in or what snack was served. I will, however, remember that someone I had never met took thirty seconds to make a stranger's graduation day feel even more special.

    The Chronicles of Ragebaiting My Brother continue…read more My brother is a die hard Chicago fan. He visited once during a college internship in 08 and decided he would move to this city. Shout out to him for doing the damn thing. Although I would like to mention it was I who named it and claimed it for myself way back in 2001 after a visit to the city for a college conference. However me and my bestie couldn't figure out how to make it happen on a 20,000 labor organizer salary lmao. So we remain on the east coast while my swagger jacking little brother paints the Windy City red. Anyway because he's so in love with this city and knows its in and outs, I often send him dubious "influencer content" of recent transplants that act like just because THEY just Columbus'd a new spot it must be new to EVERYONE. And the recommendations are often awful and likely paid for (extorted). It sends him into a rage which again - we love. My fave kind of terrible content to send him is Top 10 burger spots in Chicago. The lists are often wrong, outdated, and criminally under seasoned. Every once in a while though there is a fleeting moment of alignment and Little Bad Wolf is it. This truly may be the best burger in Chicago. Food: -Wolf burger - egg fried HARD for me -Bad burger - add egg for my brother -Bad burger - as is for my mom -crab cakes - for SIL -mashed potato- for the toddler -Brussels sprouts for the table The patties were well seasoned and melted in my mouth. I adore crispy onion straws. Beer was crisp and refreshing. Service was outstanding Perfect vibe on a midday Monday Bench and chair seating for all bodies. 100% worth the hype! The menu description is also a good way to annoy your loved ones. See pics for my friend's visceral reaction lmaooo
