I had a great burger w/ fries for lunch. Owner Angelo and his wife were very friendly and helpful. Food tasted very fresh, wonderful soft potato bun on the burger. Prices were reasonable. Overall will be back and will recommend, thank you! read more

Angelo is running a fantastic burger and chicken place. Great food that's noticeably better than other burgers around. My family of 5 (3 teen aged boys) had more than enough to eat and we weren't bloated. We will be back again. read more

I'm not sure where to even begin! Bust Outs is by far THE BEST burger joint in Chicago. I feel so fortunate to live close by when I need a good burger fix. My favorite is definitely the Green Line, but all their options seriously are top notch. The service and feel of the place is just good old fashion home like. The owner is super kind and always is down for a good conversation! I have to say that I truly appreciated the work and research he went through to find his gluten free buns because not only are they delicious, but they do not fall apart! He is also very conscious of the market and hasn't raised his prices like many places have and while it may be inevitable in the future, I will gladly pay as the ingredients and service is worth it! If you want options in both beef and chicken, this is your place to go! I seriously cannot recommend them enough and I cannot wait to see them at Burger Fest again - it was where we discovered them the first time and we had tried their Brown Line burger and garlic cheese curds and OMG delicious to the top! They were even kind to give our many free samples when everyone waited so patiently in line - that's customer service and just feel good vibes! read more

Great Food Great Service will stop again soon ! Recommend going on empty stomach because it will forsure full you !

Second review ever! Tried this place out and they didn't disappoint! Food took little longer than expected but nothing too crazy at all plus they may have been busy. Got a burger and fries with coke... they didn't disappoint. I'll be back for lunch next time! read more

Excellent food!! They have a great variety of burgers and sides - the fried artichoke hearts and the brown line burger are amazing. The staff was also super caring and hospitable! 10/10 recommend and this is our new burger spot!! read more

Bust Outs - Brown Line Burger - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Service and food were absolutely perfect I will be coming back plenty and I highly recommend trying a bite here....the food is high quality n the staff is extremely friendly n helpful!!! read more

I had ordered food a few days ago, and the reason for my low review lies in the prices. I ordered 2 burgers with 2 orders of waffle fries and paid $32 (total after tax), yet did not receive food that can justify that value. The burgers tasted good, however are rather small for being a $9 burger. Furthermore, to add a second party costs $4. That's insane. And those prices do not include fries. The waffle fries are $5. For this price, I expected a large basket worth sharing. The small box they come in is equivalent to getting a small order of waffle fries from Chic-fil-A, which taste the same as BustOuts fries. Additionally, a large order of waffle fries from Chic-fil-A costs $3.09! The food we had at BustOuts tastes good, but the quantity and overall quantity do not meet the price point they charge. I can get a loaded and tasty burger from SmashBurger for less than what BustOuts would charge. BustOuts charges like they are making gourmet burgers, and they are not. Burger Bull just down the street on Elston makes EXCEPTIONAL artisan burgers for $7! Until BustOuts adjusts their prices, I cannot continue to give them my business. I want them to succeed, but this overpricing is unsustainable. I believe after they do this, they can become a great staple for the Albany Park/Jefferson Park communities. read more

The staff explained the menu and the choices. I had the regular cheeseburger with everything. It was cooked perfectly, the waffle fries are great, the burger is wonderful. The is no fountain service. The pop and iced tea in the coolers is extensive. Nice interior, clean and neat, sports decor, nice. The owners are a husband and wife team, attentive to the customer, after you order at the counter, they will bring your order to you. I will surely eat there again. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to walk over on our lunch break and I'm so glad we did! Best chicken sandwich I've had while living in Chicago the past 2 years. I got the red line which had amazing flavor and not too much heat but just enough. He had the green line which I'll try next and he said was his favorite! So happy we found a good neighborhood restaurant FINALLY! (Don't have pictures because it was too good lol) read more

Food was great, had a unique kick to it. I had the loop burger and it was bursting with flavor, it was very good. My daughter had a crispy chicken sandwich with the garlic aioli sauce and she loved it. We also ordered the garlic cheese curds, which were incredible, no wonder they are the most popular appetizer! Servers were friendly and a nice chill atmosphere. read more

This place is really good! I had the yellow line burger on angus beef & my partner had the Italian sausage and beef combo dipped with peppers ( it was way better than Portillos! Dare I say !) the service was amazing! The cashier ( not sure if he's the owner ) but very friendly & liked to engage with the customers & gets to know them & he seems like real chill friendly guy. He was the same way with us & with the other 3 tables that were here . The ambiance is really chill laid back vibe . If I'm ever out in the area, I KNOW where to go for a good burger !!! read more

The food at this place is great. Had lunch there with the family and everyone walked away happy and satisfied.

Very friendly staff. The beefs were lean, and the bread was excellent. We tried the garlic cheese curds and the fried pickles, and they were so yummy!! read more

Great burgers, great price. The burgers are huge. Waffle fries with merkts, merkts on the burgers!

I will update my review after trying a couple more things but want to offer a bit of advice on the Italian beef. I'm pretty sure they use the same type of Turano French bread that comes in multi packs at the grocery store. I'm sure they have a better shelf life than the kind that comes fresh from the bakery in long paper bags but the later make a huge difference in texture. The beef itself was most likely a brought in product, not a bad thing necessarily, I thought the flavor of the beef and aus jus was fine. I think they should consider offering some sort of combo deal as well with fries and a drink: if one were to order those additions the most inexpensive option is $4.25 for plain waffle fries and $3.00 for a fountain pop. Add that to a relatively small $11 Italian Beef with cheese and you're walking out more than a pair of sawbucks. It seems like.burgers and chicken sandwiches may be a little more their specialty so I will try those in the future. I want to see a place succeed in this spot. I hope the owner considers my commentary. read more

Food was just okay but way overpriced for the money. Ordered food to go and my waffle fries were not in the bag. The sweet potato fries and cheese curds were good what there was of them. Just a few at the bottom of the box. Doubt if i will be going back. read more

I really like their food, but have issues with their packaging and price. They put everything in these boxes which is unnecessary and damaging to the food. Fried foods steam in the box and lose and the crunch. Even more, they still use these boxes when dining in. I'd rather have wax paper and lower prices than soggy food in "fancy" boxes. We had a delivery for a small party where I wanted to show off my new neighborhood find to possible future customers, but they all tore me apart for suggesting a place that serves soggy buns and fries, all due to those dang boxes. read more

Burger is definitely good (cheese options are limited). I agree with a previous review that said "it's a bit over priced" (that's why Im giving it 4 stars). When I told my colleagues it was overpriced, their response was "but was it good?" So, yes, it's over priced, but I rather pay more for a "good (if not great) burger than a "reasonably" priced ok burger. Plus, the owners are really cool which makes the experience all worthwhile. Give it a try, I bet you'll keep coming back. read more

First time today and loved it! Waffle fries are the best! Merkts burger, delicious too! Can't wait to come back and try something else! Fast service, love the "Chicago" menu! read more

Wow! this place is just what the neighborhood needed! An absolute banging burger joint! redefining what a burger spot is all about. Huge fan of their menu as a whole with some pretty unique signature sides. My favorite is the Pickle fries and Let's not even get started on the Beef sandwich. Sorry Brandy's but it's not even close... read more

This place is awesome! Burgers are delicious, cooked fresh, and the waffle fries are amazing crisp and crunchy. The staff is super friendly and attentive. Will be coming back to try more! read more

My sister and I ate there. Way too expensive and the food was cold which is weird considering we were the only 2 in there. Maybe they gave us old food? read more

The food is really good for what it is and the staff is very accommodating, fun and polite. I always love when restaurants know what they're good at and doesn't try to do too much. My kids love it and everyone is good at dealing with their toddler BS :) It isn't fast though, so just go in knowing that and you'll have a good experience read more

Great folks. Great food. Great little neighborhood spot! We picked up a quick lunch here, and will definitely be back for more.

Never really heard of this place before (I'm not local) but am staying in the neighborhood so checked it out for lunch. I travel for work so eat out 17ish days a month all over the place. I also love cooking when I'm home and put a lot of effort into and take pride in my burgers. If I were to open a burger place I'd strive to do it just like this place. Lots of attention to detail. The roll is fresh and perfectly toasted. Patty is obviously fresh 80/20 beef. The tomato is thick sliced and not over ripe, not under ripe. Fresh onion, lettuce. I got the Green Line burger which comes with avocado and ghost pepper cheese. My expectation was a smear of smashed avocado on the bun like most places would do. It was topped with thick slices (again, perfect ripeness) that was very prominent in every bite. And "ghost pepper cheese" isn't just flashy words on their menu. You definitely know that it's in fact ghost pepper cheese. Very distinct. The burger was perfectly constructed....veggies were single slice and fit the dimensions of burger perfectly so that avocado and tomato weren't squirting out with every bite. I mean....it's just a burger.....but when every little element has been given so much consideration and attention then you have something special. If you don't like the prices.....go somewhere else and spend a couple bucks less on something average. I think it might be the best burger I've ever had. read more

Great food and better customer service the place seemed clean as well. I will be going back!

Food is really good but it's not cheap. Sandwiches are $9-$13 with no fries & an order of fries is $4.28! Also a little skimpy on the $8 order of garlic cheese curds, but delicious. read more

Food was really good! Got the red and purple line. Super tasty and the fried chicken patty didn't make me feel gross, as many fried chickens patties do lol. The owners were also very nice and helpful. As a plus, they also sell Peace Tea, so that's an automatic 5/5 for me! Jokes aside, I really recommend this place. Their food is good, menu is decently large, and I am excited to go back. read more

Best beef (and combo) I've had in a long time! Burgers also very good! Great staff and my kids love the chicken, shakes and burgers. Definitely my new go to in Jeff park. read more

I enjoyed the food, the cheeseburger and cheese curds were good. The service was great the owner was very welcoming and accommodating. The only criticism I have is the price. It was slightly on the pricey side of things. For the burger and cheesecurds it was almost $20. read more

The burgers here are delicious and well worth the price. I also love the Chicago L theme and Chicago sports team decorations inside the place. The owner, Angelo, was very warm and welcoming. I will definitely be coming back here when I'm craving a burger. read more

Burger was okay, nothing special, edible. The sides were a huge disappointment. Not only were they of a small proportion, but waffle fries, sweet potato fries and mushrooms were soggy. The mushrooms tasted like regular frozen offerings from a grocery store. Truly Blazin Grill is the best local burger place. read more

My husband and mother went in today! We chatted with the owners who were absolutely lovely! It doesn't hurt that the food is good too! The chicken was wonderful and my personal favorite was their garlic cheese curds... I will dream about them! Give them a try! read more
