    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.

    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!

    While visiting Chicago, we decided we had to try Portillo's famous Chocolate Cake Shake, and we're…read moreglad we did. Even though there was a bit of a wait to get our shake, it was absolutely worth it. Rich, creamy, and loaded with the flavor of Portillo's iconic chocolate cake, it's every bit as indulgent as people say. It's definitely not an everyday dessert, but if you're visiting Chicago, it's one of those classic treats you should experience at least once. Do yourself a favor and order one--you won't regret it!

    Good day dear reader,…read more I was visiting my family in the town for a week, I took the decision of going to the well know "Portillo's... Chicago"®. I was there with my wife, we got diferent set of Hotdogs and some pasta and two sides of fries and our drink. We will start with; The side of the pasta is really slow & they will stop at 11:00pm, what is completely okay and I do understand it, BUT! Hold on, because you can pay for things from that kitchen and they will tell you "it is too late and now we don't have more pasta, we cannot help you". That happened today with us 07/30/2026. It is annoying, because I needed to talk with different people to be able to get my food, with a people that doesn't reply to "good evening" or any kind of regard, after it, we started eating (approximately 30 minutes after our arrival). The pasta was not well cooked, it was hard, I don't know if that is the style of the place, but for me that was bad cooked, the sauce is good, taste ok, the portion is ok, but have in consideration that is not meat in there, you are paying just for the "pasta", then the fries are so soft, good, here I won't complain because the fries are one of those things that could be in different ways and the people will see it as good or bad, but they need a little extra of seasoning. The great thing: The hotdogs... expensive... no flavor, the sauce isn't a "quality" sauce, I am paying around 5 dlls per hotdog, I am specting a better quality, the bread is really simple, etc., average hotdog of a weekend at your backyard. The drink has a good size, no complaint. The workers are in a hurry all the time, they don't have time for regards or quality of attention to each customer, I encourage you to add more personal to your boards and to pay them better, they work hard. Best wishes, Salazar.

    A LOCAL CLASSIC! I…read moreloved this spot so much I ended up coming back twice. 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.

Both were nice and hot. Fries were crispy and that first snap into the juicy sausage was worth the trip. No seating, so be prepared to eat in your car and get a bit messy. Also be warned the peppers are legitimately spicy, those serranos had my partner sweating. Glad I tried it, but not something I'd eat all the time, great late night drinking kind of food.

It was almost 11pm (they're open until 2am on Fridays.) and there were at least a dozen other vehicles in their drive-in stalls. Ordered their specialties, a Superdawg and Whoopskidawg with Superfries, Chocolate Super Malt and Black Kows. Service was fast and friendly at 11pm on a Friday. We were eating in our rental car in apx 10 min. It was cool to eat outside on a warm July night in a classic, 1950s style drive-in. The food was excellent, flavorful and fresh. I normally avoid krinkle cut fries because they are usually frozen and mushy or mealy. Not Superfries. These fresh cut fries were practically fried mashed potatoes. We loved them! The drinks were perfect. The Black Kows is basically a root beer float and served with an extra root beer "sidecar." Our only complaints were about errors with the garnishes. We specifically said we wanted all the garnishes on both dawgs and they only gave us the standard grilled onions on the Whoopskidawg and forgot the sport peppers on the Superdawg. Otherwise we loved everything. We might go back next week (before we fly home) because I really want to try their Whoopercheesie Burger and maybe a Supersundae. (Menu Descriptions/Prices) Superdawg Not a wiener - not a frankfurter - not a red hot - but our exclusive... Superdawg™.
