    Thanks for the reply, but I paid for everything, nothing was free, and I ordered by phone and picked it up myself so there was no surcharge. This was my opinion of my experience and not meant as an attack.

    Best chicken samich out there!! (I love the Red Line samich, but I forgot to remove the spicy feta.) The juicy grilled chicken was OMG!!! The other diner ordered a Green Line hamburger with ghost peppers and said it was insane. We did order pickle cheese curds and cheese waffle fries cooked in beef tallow. Fantastic!! I did not see the calamari fries on the menu until after we finished our meal. We got those last year and we LOVED them! Place was clean and service was so friendly! We love Bust Outs on Elston & Foster. Can't wait to go back!!!!!!!

    Fantastic burger! Gives my In n Out vibes. It's a cool little hole in the wall place, no nonsense, just good food. The guy at the front (which I'm assuming is the owner) took our order and went in the back and cooked up our food. Once I saw that I knew it was going to be good. We got the classic burger added avocado -- which was insanely fresh -- and a hotdog and sweet potato fries. Great spot!

    First time dining in at Bust outs after having them at Strawberry Fest. Everything was fresh and tasted fantastic. The Merkts burger is my favorite! The service was great as well, food came out quick! If you're a sports fan you'll love the autographed memorabilia inside. Check this place out!

    Chicagooooooooo. Why haven't more people been heeeeere. 1. The owners are super awesome and nice and that alone means you should visit. 2. If you're looking for an awesome burger in a nice looking burger joint, this is IT. Get the Loop burger and thank me later because it's one of the most memorable burgers you're ever gonna eat. I mean EVER. Like breakfast on a burger that Caramelizes and melts in your mouth and you don't want to stop eating ever. THAT yummy. 3. The sides. Get the sidesssss. And I haven't even talked about how delish the chicken sandwiches are. You can tell how fresh everything is with just the first bite. Like FRESH. Be sure to stop in stat because if not, you're missing out hard core.

    Nothing here for me to eat with a wheat allergy. Wanted to eat here as it's very convenient, but couldn't even try.

    Little Bad Wolf - Bad Burger and a side of mac and cheese

    Little Bad Wolf

    (2.6k reviews)

    Andersonville, Edgewater

    There's just something about a burger that actually lives up to the hype--and Little Bad Wolf does…read moreexactly that. Stacked unapologetically high, this burger is everything you want and more: juicy, perfectly seared patties layered with melty cheese, crispy bacon, and those golden, crunchy fried onions that take it completely over the top. Every bite is rich, savory, and just messy enough to remind you you're eating something seriously good. The toasted bun somehow holds it all together (barely), soaking up every bit of flavor without getting lost in the chaos. And then... the shoestring fries. Thin, crispy, golden perfection--light but addictive, with that ideal crunch that makes it impossible to stop at just one (or ten). They're the kind of fries you keep reaching for without even realizing it, especially dipped in that creamy, tangy sauce on the side. And let's not forget the drinks--just as good as the food. Refreshing, perfectly balanced, and the kind you sip slow while taking it all in (but somehow they disappear way too fast). It's not just a burger--it's one of Chicago's most iconic bites for a reason. Bold, indulgent, and absolutely worth every single napkin you'll need after. The ambiance inside is GORGEOUS!

    My husband and I walked in on a Sunday evening for dinner and were able to be seated right away…read more The atmosphere is dark and moody, and it made sense once I realized it was the same owners as Gretel. Loved the 90s female R&B playlist they had going! Little Bad Wolf has been on my list FOR YEARS to try the burger! My husband got the burger with fried onions and I got some Bao because those also looked delicious and were a popular menu item. Honestly the 3 stars are only that high because of the service. Our server was friendly and attentive + the food came out hot and quick. Unfortunately, the food was pretty disappointing. The burger was swimming in a puddle of grease and just picking it up made your hands greasy + was dripping grease. The fries that came with it were floppy, soggy, and sad...but at least warm? I personally wouldn't order this again. The Bao were better, but small for the price and honestly were just okay? It was nice they gave you sauces you could add, but I found the Bao's to already have enough sauce so I didn't need them. Overall I left feeling confused and disappointed. I don't feel the need to come back here - Little Bad Will was a one and done experience for me.

    The Loop

    Being a California boy (born and raised) my only way to get a Fish & Chip meal was at a fast food…read morefranchise called H. Salts Fish & Chips; and it was fairly good. Several golf trips to the U.K. (Britain, Scotland, Wales) I got my fair share of excellent Fish & Chips; the best being in Ullapool, Scotland at The Seafood Shack I have never had better! But, leave it to Chicago to deliver some of the best fish and chips I've ever had in the USA, here at The Dearborn restaurant in the Chicago loop. Everything about The Dearborn's signature dish just worked in every way: The fish was fried perfectly The fish itself was moist and delicious The chips (fries) were excellent The coleslaw was the perfect side dish The tartar sauce was scrumptious My Krobacher Pilsner paired perfectly with my dinner The service was spot on And sitting at the bar watching the NBA playoffs didn't hurt either. I did have a scoop of delicious salted caramel gelato that finished this meal perfectly. Having such delicious fish & chips a few blocks away from where I live is certainly better than flying "over the pond" (a British term for the Atlantic Ocean).

    This is an excellent spot for a special occasion! I visited recently with a large group for brunch…read moreand we had a great experience all around. Regardless of the time of day and especially during peak hours, I would definitely recommend making a reservation to air on the safe side. The staff prepared our table super quickly and was very attentive- they really went above and beyond throughout the meal. I do not recommend skipping the drinks! I ordered the seasonal Si Se Puede, Tia mezcal cocktail, which was quite spicy and perfectly sweet. For appetizers, we shared the parkerhouse rolls. The rolls were soft and buttery with a delicious whipped butter spread. For the main dish, I ordered the Dearborn Burger. It was solid overall and the portion size was very generous. I tried the fish and chips as well which were excellent. Would definitely order this next time! For dessert, we tried the sticky toffee date cake. I liked that it was not too heavy, and the Heath bar crumbles added a nice crunch. My only wishlist would be to have more of that delicious sauce to scoop up! We left with ample leftovers and in high spirits. Definitely looking forward to visiting again and trying more of the menu!
