    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!

    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.

    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!

    Brown Line Burger

    Tried this place for the first time tonight. While there were some misses, it generally was good! I think the problem is that they do not season their beef enough. My dad got an Italian beef which barely had any Italian spices on it. My Brown line burger was ok, but I was expecting more out of the beef. However, my mom got the Brown Line, but with a filled chicken patty. That was better even though it had the same toppings. I think we are going for the chicken sandwiches next time. The Merkts Cheese fries and the garlic cheese curds were excellent. This place is also a little expensive, but that's what it is. I thought the food was generally worth it so it wasn't a dealbreaker for me. Chicken sandwiches for me going forward!

    We loved and enjoyed this place we drove here after having a craving at midnight and it was one of…read morethe best experiences in the city. The seating was great service was great and food was even better at 1am !!

    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

    3.5 stars Attention…read morevegetarians: The fries are fried and brined with beef tallow*. You can get a vegetarian version of the sweet potato fries. We popped in here for a quick bite before husband's show in Wrigleyville. It was pretty empty what we arrived and the overall ambiance feels sterile. It did pick up with more tables while we were there. I got the veggie version of the Little DMK and the Lazy Refresher mocktail. *I ordered fries for us to split, which is when the waitress warned me about the fries. I really appreciated the call out, but was surprised it wasn't on the menu itself. Husband got the patty melt and noted that the beef tasted very peppered. Both burgers were fine. My drink was a little sweet, but overall good. Staff was friendly and attentive, but even if I were in the neighborhood, I don't see it as a place we'd frequent.
