Came here visiting from Miami and had a great experience. Angelo quickly assisted us (party of four) and was friendly and professional. The food came out quickly and was delicious. Too good to wait to take pictures (sorry). Overall it was a great experience. I'm a sucker for excellent customer service and of course delicious food. I will definitely make an effort to revisit when I return to Chicago. Friendly staff. Delicious food made fast. 5 STRONG STARS read more

This is a great neighborhood gem! Let me start off by saying it was our first time and the owner explained all about the different menu items. That was a nice touch. The ambiance in my humble opinion was super cool! I loved the "L" train line was amazing! From the decor to the different burgers that are based on some of the different L lines in Chicago was super fun! It really made me want to try each line! The garlic cheese curds were bomb! Seriously. Get the curds. The waffles fries were also delicious. The Green Line burger was a nice combination of flavors. When some places say avocado they don't put a lot. Here- there is a nice amount of avocado! The Red Line burger was nice- though when I order again I will try a different line but with the chicken. I recommend this place for someone who wants a great burger and delicious cheese curds with a super fun Chicago theme! read more

This is a nice new neighborhood spot that recently opened up in our area. We have come a few times now and have not been disappointed once. Whether it's a quick pick up of just a classic burger and fries, or going all out with a green line burger, Mac& cheese bites, spicy cauliflower and garlic cheese curds, you can't go wrong! Service is good and the owner is really nice. read more

Bust Outs - Ordering area - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Bust Outs recently opened, and I've been hearing about their tasty burgers and chicken sandwiches. Their menu also offers crab cake po'boy, beefs, sausages, hot dogs, salads, and various apps/sides. I did a to-go order, and tried: +Garlic Cheese Curds - panko-breaded garlic cheese curds, which supposedly is served with ranch; mine came with a side of a garlic-based sauce, it seems; it was super potent and garlic fans will enjoy this tangy dip; the garlic cheese curds were just okay - could have been a bit crispier +Merkts Cheddar Waffle Fries - I love anything with Merkts; the waffle fries seemed slightly undercooked, so one may have to request the doneness when ordering; the cheese sauce seemed a little thin, and I was hoping it to be super thick and of a generous amount +the Cheeseburger - comes with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and Bustin' Sauce on a brioche bun; I believe this burger also came with a shmear of the Merkts? Either way, this burger was super juicy and buttery, and definitely one of the better burgers I've had! It definitely can be messy, but I loved that they provide you with the nice thick napkins to wipe yourself! I'd be interested in trying their specialty burgers and their beefs next time. The place itself is nicely decorated, and there are plenty of tables inside; there is also a patio for those who enjoy al fresco dining. Staff were friendly and welcoming! I'm so sad I missed the inflatable - maybe it was only there during the opening week? There's a small lot for parking, but there's also plenty of street parking, too. +tasty burgers +friendly staff +private lot for parking +plenty of street parking available read more

We ate here for the first time tonight and it was as good as the big list of five star Yelp reviews that helped push us to try it. Excellent non-run of the mill burgers, and the owner was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back again. read more

The service was great! The young lady at the counter was helpful and made sure I was happy. The food was excellent-burgers were top notch.

Dining on day one at any restaurant ...I'm bracing for system flaws, cooking inconsistencies, and everything else that gets ironed out with time. Not one problem. My burger (the green line) was juicy and fresh and spot on one of the best I've had in awhile. My fried spicy cauliflower left no complaints...the fry was spot on, the spice was right, I want to buy the breading alone. The staff were warm, excited, and helpful with recommendations. I will be back...no doubt about it. Get here before everybody else finds out about this place and you have to line up to get in the door. read more

Love the atmosphere, the service... and the food is excellent!! Everything we ate was excellent!

Placed an order for pick up and the staff are really nice and the place is cute and clean. Unfortunately, the fried chicken sandwich I got was edible but honestly McDonald's is better and cheaper. We also tried the cheese curds which my husband really liked but I wasn't a fan as they seemed soggy not a crispy outside. My husband got the hot dog and fries which he said were solid but that the fries were cold. For how expensive everything is my expectations were higher. Since it is so very close I will try it again and hopefully the Italian beef or the burger is better. read more

Great burgers and chicken! Food came out hot and fast. They gave football cards for the kids so they were excited!

Got the Red Line burger. Very tasty! Also got the cheese fries. Wish the fries were a bit more well done but those were pretty good too. Next time I ask for the fries well done or try the pickle fries. This place is definitely worth a try! read more

I ordered a double patty no cheese with LTO pickles. The buns they order are subpar and barely hold the contents. Fourteen bucks spent to be just ok ... read more

I really like this place the food was excellent well worth the price the service was awesome the people were really friendly and really were down to earth and asked you how everything was I'm very attentive, the restaurant was really cozy it felt really comfortable I really liked it to be honest I really recommend it and I would definitely go again thanks guys.​ read more

A hidden treasure in Forest Glen (most people will call it Jefferson Park) with amazing burgers and Italian beef. The owner's dedication to using fresh ingredients, no fillers, nothing artificial makes for outstanding sandwiches. Forget the concept of smashing the burgers as they cook, these burgers are juicy and flavorful. Match it with cheese curds or the waffle fries, and you can't go wrong! Even the Heinz ketchup is the "Simply Ketchup", nothing artificial there either. read more

Wonderful food and amazing experience all around. Service was stellar, prompt and the food was so fresh. You can tell they use top grade ingredients. read more

This is a revisit to see if I was too harsh on my last review. The initial review was not bad really and focused more on the cost than the food. I visited yesterday as they recently added wings to their menu and I am a sucker for a good wing. I was surprised that they do not coat the wings in your flavor choice. The wings are delivered naked with a side of sauce. Odd. No Bleu cheese dressing, only ranch. Booo. The wings were really good. Done properly and juicy, but the fact that four wings for $10 and there is still work to be done. Pass. The burger was really good, can't complain and the waffle fries were fried nicely and not a soggy one in the batch. I'm sorry though, you are at Foster and Elston, not downtown, Edison Park or Park Ridge; $34.00 for 4 wings, a burger with fried (a la carte) and a bottle of Coke is just outrageous. Bring your prices down, your overhead isn't great or are staffing rates, and maybe you'll survive. read more

Burger was awesome also the cheese was really good and sharp the fries were really fresh and crispy I definitely enjoyed it and I would come back read more

This is a small corner restaurant, but has a parking lot. I received a certificate for a hamburger or hot dog and fries. I opted for the hamburger. OMG, It was absolutely delicious. Here's what separates it from other hamburgers It was so flavorful and fresh. Simple and not overdone. There were 2 young employees working there and they couldn't have been nicer and more helpful. I ate there and both of them checked to see if I was ok while one apologized for the wait. I didn't even wait 5 minutes. I will definitely be back. read more

Great service and great food!! Great music selection and very warm and cozy atmosphere. Had the Loop burger and man did it hit the spot!! My very picky 8 year old order a cheese burger and devoured it instantly! The chocolate honey bun is also just something else!! 10 out of 10 will be coming back! read more

Service was great, food was even better! We all enjoyed our burgers including my 8 year old son. In his words "this burger hits different even though it was just a cheeseburger" lol read more

The food is okay, it's a small burger price but why is it so expensive. For two people, why did it cost $40 for a chicken sandwich, a hamburger and some fries. Anyways, super casual, and the people working were super stressed but I get it. Saw that it was also women owned so go her! Love that ! read more

I live very close so I want this local place to succeed. But the few times I have been there I have been underwhelmed. Food is very expensive for what you get. For example the new jumbo wings are egregiously expensive. Four wings with one sauce costs $9.98! That's $2.50 a wing! See the picture. Not worth 10 bucks for four wings. Price needs to be cut in half or quantity doubled. Or include a side and drink or something and make it a combo meal. Wings were ok, not great just serviceable. Burgers are ok as well. Again, not great, just average. Probably won't be back more than once a year to see if they change. read more

Great burger and service. This is a local restaurant that I will frequent for as long as they are open. I was told that they also serve a fabulous crispy chicken sandwich. read more

One of the best burgers in the city. Their Mac bites and cheese curds are must. You won't be disappointed.

The food and service is amazing. The ambiance has an adorable Chicago Sports vibe. I had the vegan burger and hubby had one of their chicken sandwiches, which we both enjoyed. We split the garlic cheese curds which were delicious. This is a great place to stop for next level burgers, sandwiches and fries. read more

Food and service were excellent! My beef could use a bit more flavor but the hotdogs, hamburgers and fries were on point. Next time I'll get the beef dipped. read more

Chalk up Busy Outs as a "MUST GO" I always opt for the Brown Line Burger. Anytime you combine Merkt cheese, grilled onion and a brioche bun...I'm done! Then add bbq and bacon??? Bury me now cuz I'm ALL IN. staff is friendly. And I usually get a send off of "Have an amazing evening". Love that. I've seen this corner go from coffee shop to beef joint to chicken place to another chicken place. Oh please, great spirits of good food, let Bust Outs be the one ..... read more

Good food. Great service. Friendly staff. They fed me even though it was close to closing time. I appreciated it greatly.

Had a craving for a great solid burger. As the El Pozolero and a true die hard foodie fan I research and pay homage to the individuals who review and share the wealth of knowledge on good food. Thanks to insta I took a ride over to meet the lovely Angelo and Christina, owners of "Bust Outs." In time this will become a food destination for the chitown area. Treated like guests at the last supper, we ordered our choice meals and then were showered with extra love to taste. Had the pickle fries, Gouda Mac bites, cheese curds, and waffle cheese fries....if I could transport these delectable snacks to my next football tailgate I'd be in heaven. Christina gave us a tutorial on the menu, tried the cheeseburger, pure angus, tasted quality. Chili cheese dog on a brioche, felt the sweet salty meld with the snap of the dog. Gotta love those Vienna's. Tried two of the "L" sandwiches, nice twist on chicken classics. The applewood smoked bacon, directly from Wisconsin is the star for sure. Enjoyed every morsel, come in and see these guys quick! You won't be disappointed read more

Boyfriend got a brown line burger and I got a regular cheeseburger; both burgers had a lot of flavor and were pretty average sized but both burgers were pink inside, we did not ask for it like that and it was our first time there so not sure if that's just how they cook it or what, onion rings and their house sauce is really good but they give you like 5 onion rings lol read more

A wonderful local place owned by local that makes great burgers of many different kinds. My wife wanted a mozzarella burger which they were great to accommodate read more

I had been coming here for a bit but have always gone for the cheesy beef because it's really good. Angelo was recommending the Orange Line chicken and I finally got to try it. All I can say is WOW. Easily one of the best chicken sandwiches I've had. Honestly knocked my socks off. Do yourself a favor and try one of these. You won't regret it. I should've taken a pic of it for this review but I wasted no time devouring it and totally forgot. read more

First time visiting this new hot spot on the north side! Food was great, the owners were super nice giving us the run down on the food. I got the chili cheese dog and fries. We also go the cheese curds and Mac and cheese bites. SO yummy! My boyfriend got the classic burger they had on the menu. Overall a great experience and we will be back regularly! read more

Ordered a cheese dog, got a chilli cheese dog. Should've checked the bag before I left so that's on me. Food was ready on time, lady at the register was nice, and although I didnt get what I ordered, what I did get was pretty good. Fries were decent. If the error didnt happen Id give 4 stars. And I'm pretty sure if I went back it wouldve been changed to the correct order. read more

Popped in for a Sunday afternoon lunch and it was a very solid choice. Very good burger, kids chicken tenders and mini hotdogs. Kitchen is super clean and service on point. I hope all the best for this very convenient burger spot open seven days a week! read more

We recently visited Bust Outs and had a excellent meal. What stood out to me the most was how kid-friendly the establishment was and the simplicity of the experience. Christina, the owner, and her staff went above and beyond to ensure a welcoming atmosphere for families, making it an ideal choice for casual dining with kids. The service was great. The staff was attentive, friendly, and prompt, which always makes the family dining experience more enjoyable. The menu is centered around 'L' avated" burgers and chicken sandwiches named after CTA lines. They also have local classics like Chicago Style Vienna Beef hot dogs, Italian beef, Merkts cheddar fries, fried pickles and a plenty of other options. Our kids devoured the mini Vienna Beef hot dogs and waffle fries. I recommend Bust Outs for neighborhood families looking for a kid-friendly place with excellent service. It's a great spot for hassle-free comfort food. read more

I've learned about this new place and loved their food as well as their appetizers. I highly recommend people trying it.

Great spot for a quick bite! We got a hot dog and Brown Line burger and were very pleased. Staff was so kind and gave us a rundown of their menu. Prices are a bit higher than other similar spots but to be expected for what they explained as higher quality meat (e.g., 80/20 angus beef for burgers). Overall, we will be back! read more
