You ever drive by North and Ashland and wonder what that heavenly smell is? Well stop at Choppers on Ashland (corner of Wabansia) and get yourself some good food. Choppak (double cheeseburger with steak fries and Cole slaw) with no onion is my go to at this classic greasy spoon. It only cost $12 for all of that and I guarantee you'll enjoy how well these three items work with each other. Staff gets you in and out without feeling like they are hurrying you read more

Hellllllck yeah. $6 charbroiled cheeseburger in 2026? Yes'm sir. Didn't try the fries or the shake but I'll be back. Staff was cool, burger was quick, smells amazing read more

They have their own parking lot so you can park without hassle. Takes credit card. Good old fashioned family run burger diner. Food cooked quickly Chop Pak $9.99- double patty cheese with lettuce, tomato, burger with potato wedge fries and cole slaw. Burger standard size. I think this is good deal. Cole slaw had too much mayo. read more

Choppers - Chopper Pak - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

When you go there you need to try the choppak big burger very delicious at great price. They attend you well.

Burger was barely edible - tasted like an elementary school cafeteria burger. The fries were good. The milkshake was massive, but clearly just vanilla ice cream and syrup. read more

Tried the "Choppak" and it was good. Burger was succulent, missing a little bit of salt imo, but still good. It came with nice portion of fríes and coleslaw. Service was nice and smooth. read more

My family and I were in the mood for a Burger and was near the Northside. We decided to check out Choppers because someone said their burgers were pretty good....WELLL...SOMEBODY LIED!!!! I placed my order at the counter 1 Charbroiled cheeseburger, 1 double cheeseburger, 1 order of French fry, 1 Malt, and an order of mozzarella sticks for my son. After ordering, I paid for my food and stepped to the side and within 2 minutes all of it was ready. THAT WAS THE 1ST RED FLAG. I was wondering how did they have my burgers ready within 2 minutes. My husband immediate noticed the burgers were FROZEN PATTIES AND WERE ALREADY PRE-COOKED..When we order they removed the patty from a warmer and placed it on a grill. The burger was a perfect rectangle thin shape.which tell me it wasn't fresh beef. You cant possibly char-grill, and make a fresh burger in 2 minutes and 11 seconds. The fries were the best thing I ordered out of the entire meal. They were fresh and steak cut. The mozzarella sticks were bland and frozen! My malt contained too much syrup and was nothing to write home about. I will never return back to Choppers simply because the burgers are only put on the grill to melt the cheese and quickly taken off! Disappointing for $11!! They should be ashamed of themselves serving those super thin, underseasoned, pre cooked and frozen burgers. read more

The Choppak is my new go-to order. The burger was thick, cheesy, and perfectly seasoned, and the toasted bakery bun made it even better. Add in crispy fries and creamy homemade coleslaw and you've got a meal that hits every craving. Worth every bite. read more

Pretty good burgers, but the steak fries are the star of the place. I walked 1/2 mile each way to get there. Would I do that again?? Probably not. I'm a Heinz ketchup fan & their mystery ketchup was pretty good. Great prices though!! read more

Not a good burger but fast so? It was just like a little McDonalds so I guess that's good but still

Choppers - double with bacon baby - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I asked the clerk which one he would recommend the burger or the beef. He recommended the burger. I ordered the burger and while I was waiting, I asked him for a sample of the beef after I tried the beef I got an Italian beef, and addition to my burger and had a little bit of each one the burger was really good. The price was amazing was seven dollars for, two burgers grilled onions, lettuce, tomato pickle mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup came with some steak fries and coleslaw. The beef was very good the flavor it was a little dry I did not have a dipped, but I did get gravy on the side and it was delicious with hot oil on the side. Good chocolate shake. They had a quad burger that had five patties instead of four , great service very clean . I lucked out, and I found parking small parking lot in a busy area downtown. They had outdoor seating too if you're in the area check it out. read more

I ordered the triple cheese burger and smashed it clean.The taste definitely quenched my craving for a GOOD cheeseburger and the fries were fresh and hot with a perfect amount of salt. . Thank you, I will be coming back with my family. read more

This place is amazing value. It's clean but there are a lot of small flies. The food and location has a very retro style. Seats are a little small. But they're pretty quick and no frills. read more

So why not lets go there. Its lunchtime and we at work like to try places not so far. My co-worker wanted that Quad burger and for me thats a big no thank you! Way too much greasiness to consume an there is no way I would even attempt it. I did go for the hamburger and they made a mistake when I got to my office as it was a double cheeseburger. But who's mad? Did I say I was mad? It was an honest and very cool mistake. The burgers are seriously very well seasoned and I for one love when a burger is made this way. Perfection? Maybe not as it was a little greasy, but it was good! The fries that I ordered were very well seasoned also, but a little too greasy. I guess since it is a hamburger joint, I shouldn't be surprised on the greasiness so let me stop that caterwauling on it. All in all I do like the fast food spot for many reasons, but most of all because of its authentic Chicago taste. That's what I come for. I also had to try their old school gravy bread, and of course it didn't disappoint. All in all its a good place but a little bit pricey, but compared to other burger spots, they are competitive and have been around for many years. read more

Visiting a friend in the area, they requested a stop here to get some food and milkshakes, and I waited in the car for 15 minutes. Cramped parking, mediocre fast food, slow service. Why? do people come here, I would like to know. read more

Choppers - Parking is ridic - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Based on my last experience. I ordered 2x triple burgers and fries. I was charged $22.38. No itemized receipt was provided. I inquired to how we got to that cost. He states 2x burgers 2x fries. I advised it was one fry. He hands $3.85 . I took it that was correct but when I figured it out he still owed me a $1 . Little did I know they changed the meat. I bit into the burger and it tasted odd. No fresh burger meat chargrilled. This tasted like a high school cafeteria burger - no quality just cheap/soy /meat blend. I ate the burger and thought it was me. However I took the 2nd burger home and attempted to eat it. It tasted horrible. I got no fresh quality chart burger taste instead that cheap meat taste. I threw it out . What a waste. Completely regret ordering. This place went from 5 stars to 0 if I could give it. Not sure if under different management and attempted to go cheaper quality or what. read more

Great little old-school burger and dog spot. Candy machines you haven't seen since the 90s and 2000s!

Aye yoooo if yall aint try this restaurant yet then yall missin out like a mf!! Tell me why I get an oreo shake that tastes joyful & sum fries that are crisp to perfection!! High Flyer Empire wishes straight up success to this franchise. Them boiz healed my spirit!!! read more

Food was delicious. Needed to grab dinner after my wine tasting in Old Town. Location was perfect as it was right off of North and Ashland. Pretty easy to get to location parking somewhat difficult. I was able to get in an order right away, my food was ready within one minute. I think they just have the burgers going and the fries getting fried quickly. I got the double cheeseburger special and it was very delicious. I had it when I got home with a glass of wine. Perfect to have a delicious double cheeseburger with the best Cabernet (Caymus $85 a bottle) on the market. I was really a happy and full with my selection. I finished the Burger, however I didn't finish the cole slaw or the French fries. However I save the French fries to have the next morning. I'm sure they'll do well being reheated in the air fryer. This meal probably could be shared with my husband if we just wanted a quick snack before going to sleep. Would definitely go back and try this place they looked like they had some dope ass mozzarella sticks. read more

Fast pace service, good food. Brings back lots of great memories. If your looking for a small local burger spot this is it. Highly recommend. I usually get a classic burger but sometimes switch it up to the chicken sandwich and it does not disappoint. If you are in the area and you're looking for a chill quick fast food bite, this is it! read more

awesome burgers in a sinple atmosphere always mouth waterwhen I look at the 4 patty and the malts are delicious

Good portions and good value for the money. They have large wedge style fries. We love getting the Choppak.

Finally! I have found a quality burger for a reasonable price in Chicago. As other have said, Choppers isn't the place to go to if you're looking for the best burger that you can find in Chicago. However, it is a great option if you're looking for a good burger without paying the "best burger in Chicago" prices that every other restaurant seems to follow. The good food coupled with the appropriate pricing is what awards Choppers a five stars for me. In addition, you can get ridiculously sized portions for less than $10 - up to a quad burger - and it's actually tasty. You're not left sitting with the thought "dang, I guess I got what I paid for." Rather, you're left sitting with the thought "this was a good value, what's the catch?" Add on some cheesy fries and a milkshake and you have a full meal at about half the price that you're used to paying in the area. Furthermore on the milkshakes, they label their milkshakes as "the best in Chicago" and I truly believe that they deserve this title. There are many flavors to choose from, and none will disappoint. I'm addicted. read more

Been there for years! The burgers are amazing! If ever in the area and you have a taste for a burger, that's your spot !!!

Always great service ! cheeseburger meal always hits! Their milkshakes are amazing, especially OREO FLAVOR the people are great! so polite and nice read more

First trying this place, came with my hubby. This place was recommended by a friend. The ambiance was calm and clean. Service was fast! Since it was the first time we've came the workers were nice and patient. The food I have to say was really good! My partner and I ordered 2 choppaks. I'm not a fan of red meat but I was willing to try. Super delicious I have to say it was a 10/10 . As for drinks, my partner got the fresh banana milkshake. I got a Pepsi, the Pepsi tasted like literal medicine like nightquil not very good. We got both in regular size. The total was 27$ for all. Decent amount of food. Overall it was ok. read more

I am giving this three stars because the quality is not great. However, this place HITS for late night eats and is perfect after a long day. The hours are not good as they close at 9pm... not ideal after a night out in chicago. I wish they would change that for weekends. The quad burger is great and you can customize with grilled onions or double fries instead of coleslaw. Great service. Overall my happy place when I've had a tough day. Not too spacious inside but that's fine for me. read more

Choppers is a neighborhood staple. The burgers are always solid and char grilled, great steak fries. My ultimate favorite thing here is the coleslaw, loooove dat coleslaw. Also, for 8 bucks, their choppak deal can't be beat! It's a double cheeseburger, fries, and coleslaw. They have a small parking lot with a few spots, can also park on ashland. Oh, almost forgot! Don't sleep on the shakes here either, they're bomb! read more

Good food and friendly service. Reasonable pricing as well. I had the Quad which actually has 5 patties! read more

It did not disappoint! One of the best burger in Chicago! Cashier that took our order was friendly but the old guy was a bit disappointed that I asked for a bag for my takeaway. Other than that, everything was good. read more

Dropped in for our usual love sitting outside. The sesame buns are gone. This burger was worse than the local Chain ! What is going on. Owner says younger generation says "allegyzzz" the pack though was tasty. But the single just dropped in quality. And no more sesame buns. The new buns are just yukkk French fries are still ok. Sad that this last visit is making me not want to return. Hhhmm ?! read more

I have been looking for a good burger in Wicker Park that doesn't cost 20+ dollars. Even some of the 15 dollars ones are just garbage. I have probably tried about 20 different places already in the area. I took a different route into work today because of traffic and i saw this place. Looked interesting and unique. Had I ran across my diamond in the rough? I looked up reviews and read about this "choppak" thing. and I'm thinking 8-9 bucks for a double burger fries and slaw? Could it be a tasty burger too? Went here for lunch at 12:30 today, easy parking in small lot, the worker there going back in the door held it open for me, nice touch. Guy at the counter was polite, place was clean all around, I ordered the "choppak" with everything and regular strawberry milkshake. Get this! I was only 13 bucks after tax! Woot Woot! Got it to go and on the way out the door I decided I would eat in my car (just couldn't wait to get back to the office). Opened it up and the burger looked amazing. Two good sized patties, yummy grilled onions, tomatoes and everything else that make a good burger, the buns are even a notch up from cheap hamburger buns. Fries were hot and good, nothing super special, but not bad in any way. Same story for the cole slaw. ok, just standard cole slaw. Strawberry shake was also TOP NOTCH, too thick for the straw until it melted a bit and I do like that in the bottom of my cup were 3-4 big chunks of real strawberries. Great Job Choppers!!! Also, I don't recommend eating these in your car, buy the time I was done the front of my shirt was a mess, lol.. I have found my local go to burger joint. I will definitely be back. Thank you! read more

The CLEANEST fast food burgers you can get. Gooey cheese, fresh veggies, and brioche buns! You are getting a way better burger for the price. And do yourself a favor-get a milkshake and combine some flavors. You won't regret it. Thanks Choppers! PS-thanks for making the PB+J for us. read more
