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
Bob M.

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.

Gyro Dinner
Theresa Andrea C.

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.

Number 7, now you are closer to heaven; pick your order…read more I will never forget the poetic server who called you to pick up your order. It's a shame I didn't get his name, but how can you have a bad day listening to him create lines back-to-back with such calm? The ambiance is lively, the decoration has a Midwestern theme full of famous individuals who have visited Portillo's. The hot dog hit the spot, and for less than $5 (Chicago hot dog) one can't complain.

Kari's Rating 8/10…read more As someone who is always at This Portillo is considering it's very close to where I live, it was decently busy this Sunday evening around 7:30. There was a large cluster of individuals in line to use the kiosk because they seem too scared to talk to a human-even though there's absolutely no line to talk to the women up front. It's kind of sad realize how antisocial people have become but also, I know it's beneficial to use a kiosk for the company because they're getting really fast data results, people tend to add more of their order because they're not being watched and they're able to do it in an antisocial way. Honestly, it's actually really fascinating. This place is always busy so as normal, we waited for about 20 minutes. It's OK, it looked like they were a little bit short staffed as 95% of the population of the restaurant was waiting in line. It's usually backed up at this location as it's super busy and very popular but tonight, I can't tell if it's because they're just backed up, or if no one can hear the number because they use those funny one liners after each number which makes it harder to hear the actual number called. I think this location-as it is mostly a tourist spot-is usually very clean. Tonight, it was not. I think it might've just been that one table around us, but whoever sat there before the fries were all strewn about and the sauces were all over the table cloths and there were napkins everywhere, and it just looked kind of bad. Since it's not normally like this, I figured it just was a one off or it might've just happened.

I knew my shake was over the top so I should've expected really bold flavoring, it was just a bit too intense for me. I also don't recall being able to choose a size and this amount of shake is wayyy too much even for two people. My boyfriend and I shared and still couldn't finish it. The hot dogs I guess should be consumed there and in the moment. Ours were wrapped all of 5 minutes and the bread was already soggy. The chili dog was underwhelming. The little peppers they sell on the side and in some Dawgs are fire!!!! Best thing I had was their onion rings. Super good rings here. Crunchy and tasty. They come with a sauce. I don't remember which one I got but it tasted like raw seasoning. Also wayyyy too heavy. I was super bloated after this meal. Def a one n done for me. I enjoyed it but wouldn't go back.

Being a newbie I wasn't sure where to start as the menu is a lot to take in. I settled on: Double backyard burger no cheese or tomato - 7/10 - I like my doubles a little thinner, not a slight to them just what I was expecting. I could've definitely did one burger and been satisfied. Burger was seasoned decent and the pickles were really good. Icelandic dog (no honey mustard, added relish). -10/10 - I loved everything about this dog. The bite, the spice, the toppings.

It has that classic late night comfort food vibe and feels like one of those staple spots you have to try at least once. First night I ordered a polish hot dog with everything on it and a fish sandwich w/ extra grilled onions. Super cool that your order comes with fries and I added a cheese cup both times. In my opinion the fries were mid the first go around, but second time they were better. Definitely tasted better dipped in cheese. They were kinda airy in texture, if that makes sense. Polish hot dog was around a 6.5-7/10 for me. It did taste better warmed up the next day. What I was most obsessed with was the double cheeseburger and fish sandwich! both were easily a 10/10. Super good prices and worth the money. Also, the chile peppers were sooo bomb and hotter than I expected ! I wanted to eat them all, but they were packing some serious heat! The lemon Italian ice is where it's at, make sure to order one! You can also mix it with strawberry, but both times people recommended the lemon and now I see why. The line gets super active and busy past 10-11pm, but during the daytime it's way less crowded. Even when it gets packed the line moves pretty quick. They stay open late and close at 1am which is nice.

I need to sound it out phonetically because it was literally everything, okay?! It was loaded, messy, and doing exactly what it needed to do. And listen, I am perfectly fine with a messy dog as long as it is good, and it absolutely was! The food came out quick, fast, and in a hurry. You won't be sitting around waiting forever. If you need to catch a plane, train, automobile, or whatever else, you are going to get where you need to go because that food is coming out, okay? If we ever come back to the area, we are definitely hitting up Devil Dawgs again. For sure!
