I wanted to stop here to use my birthday coupon. I ordered the Classic burger with one patty, Cajun fries and a small drink. When I went to use my credit, I learned I also had a $5 reward. I was able to stack them which was great! When I went to pay the difference the manager told me not to worry about it. So I ended up getting my entire meal for free! Yesterday was one of those days where nothing was going my way so this truly made my day. Once I went to sit down Wonderwall came on and I thought to myself "this must be the place" lol. staff has always been exceptional other times I've been in. The place was spotless. Ketchup caddy was clean. While the place isn't too big they can accommodate large parties. The fries are perfection. The right amount of crisp. I recommend getting 2 patties for a better burger to bread ratio. Epic gave epic service, flavor, and fun!

Review Visit: March 23rd, 2014 So just how EPIC! is Epic Burger? Well, not all too epic, actually. My dad and I came here after visiting Shedd's Aquarium and were hoping for some really EPIC!! food. What we got was decent food and some unsatisfied taste buds. Now the food wasn't terrible. But it wasn't EPIC!!! It was just a bit too greasy and a bit light on flavor. We ordered a meal each and the total was about $17-19, so not bad for two people. But 5 Guys is way better, IMO. That is a great burger place to go. SmashBurger even. Those are EPIC!!!! Epic Burger.. not so much. Maybe it will be EPIC!!!!! for you. Maybe not. They have locations all over the Chicagoland area, so if you do want to try it for yourself, they are not too hard to find. There are actually too many locations for me to list without this blog post becoming super long.

I hadn't been to Epic Burger in years, but I decided to stop in after an afternoon of shopping. We were greeted by a lovely gentleman who took our order. My sister and I both ordered burgers, fries, and Pepsi. The bill was about $40 for the two of us. The burgers were well proportioned, flavorful, and tasty. The toppings were fresh and plentiful. My sister ordered hers with cheese and bacon. I opted to keep it simple with lettuce, tomato, and various condiments. The fries were so plentiful that neither of us finished them. In retrospect, we agreed that we could have shared a serving. We dined in and found the location clean and comfortable. I'd visit this Epic Burger franchise again for sure.

My first time trying Epic burger was probably what I expected. The burger and fries were just fine for a fast food restaurant. The space was clean and fairly empty for a Saturday afternoon. I would not go out of my way to come back but I also wouldn't be against coming back if a friend suggested.

I've been to a few epic burgers around town and as per fast foot goes it's pretty solid for the price range and quality. I usually go for the classic epic or the cowboy. They have been pretty consistent with how they prepare their burger nice amount of caramelization and charring on the burgers and good toppings. It always comes out like the picture and the fries nice and crisp with different options as well. Service is pretty fast and consistent. Never had wait. Nice and casual place to get a great burger.

Classic burger, Sweet Potato Waffle Fries, cookies and creme shake

Big fan of the sweet potato waffle fries; they came with honey mustard which was very good. The shake was also a bit above average. Burger was fine - nothing crazy but decent. Service was quick, only waited 5 minutes or so. They give you a number and you can go sit down and they bring it to you.

Beyond burger that I took home. Not bad!
Francis R.

It feels slightly upgraded from a true fast food burger joint with their panera bread style ordering system (place your order and payment up front, take a seat with your number anywhere, and they bring your food out to you). While I do enjoy their burgers from time to time, it is a bit on the greasier side. Fries are okay, a tad bland and sometimes seem to go soggy quick. In terms of offerings, a burger (single or double), a turkey burger option, a chicken sandwich, and a veggie burger (beyond meat patty) are all available. They do allow you to pick and choose toppings, with some additional options for cheese, bacon, and a fried egg for an addition up charge are available. For sides, regular fries, sweet potato fries, or a side salad are available. Overall a simplified menu with just a handful of options and ability to customize to your liking is what they aim for. I seem to find myself coming back for their beyond burger from time to time. While I wouldn't say it's the healthiest of foods you could consume, it does bring some satisfaction knowing that I've eaten more veggies for a sitting. Anyways, all around a good option to keep in the affordable meals rotation. Service is quick. Place is usually clean and doesn't seem to ever get too crowded. 'Til next time, cheers!

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.

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!
