    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!

    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!

    After what felt like 5 years to try this place, I FINALLY got to try the famous burger here! Spark…read morenotes: this place is definitely worth the wait! My friend and I dedicated a day where we would just put our name down and however long it took we would wait haha. We drove into the city which took and hour and we put our name down and waited an hour before we were called. The weather was great so we just walked around the west loop area. We started with a half size of the green salad and a half size of the roasted bone marrow. The house salad is super refreshing. A lot of vinegar in the dressing which I personally really like. Also tasted some fennel which was an interesting flavor. The roasted bone marrow is the winner of the night. I would come back to Au Cheval for this alone. It was paired with a thick slice of Texas toast and a beef cheek marmalade and it is seriously the PERFECT balance of flavors. Fatty. Sweet. Buttery. Literally insane and this is a must order! Then came the famous burger. My friend and I each ordered a single cheeseburger with the egg and bacon added. Something to note is that the single cheeseburger actually has 2 patties and the double cheeseburger has 3 patties (3/4lbs of beef). The presentation itself is beautiful and makes you just not want to eat it haha. The burger itself is so decadent and hefty with the burger patties, cheese, egg and bacon. I'll be honest, I needed some more pickles or just something to cut all the fattiness of the burger. There were pickles in the burger and it is served with a huge pickle spear. But I still was itching for some more bitterness/acid to balance the flavors. It was so decadent, I couldn't finish it all. All in all, I would definitely come back and order the burger again and would recommend it to anyone! We ordered a side of fries which came with their garlic aioli. The fries were cooked to perfection. Super crunchy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside and piping hot! The garlic aioli is perfect and have no notes for it. We also were treated to a vanilla scoop with chocolate sauce which was the perfect cap to our meal! Our waitress was so friendly and my friend and I loved her! She was so sweet and genuine. Hog Salt restaurants never fail with their service!

    Au Cheval is likely the most coveted restaurant destination for out-of-towners…read more "Best Burger" "it's so delicious with the egg" "I'm glad you're ending your trip with Au Cheval". I'd like to throw in my own quote into the gauntlet: "it's ok". It sounds harsh but Our burger patty was noticeably dry. The bread... was also dry. The egg and bacon add-ons were good but as a whole, the burger was missing the core aspect. The bread being dry I can justify by knowing that Au Cheval makes it a point to make everything gluten-free (or so someone told me). I think that's cool but not necessarily what I came looking for. I actually noticed prior to our trip from photos that the buns looked noticeably arid but I gave them no heed because of all of the praise. And I can give them the benefit of the doubt that we were there on a Sunday night, so potentially not the most quality inventory (although I personally don't think that's a great excuse). The service and the ambiance were on point! If you're wondering if there's a required attire (no shorts or flip flops) I wouldn't fret, the atmosphere is a lot more casual despite self-describing as an "intimate" setting. It's definitely more intimate than a normal burger restaurant, with dim lighting and isolated booths but what you're wearing isn't going to dictate how other guests and staff feel. I would cover up anyways just cause there was ac running. I told my friend who moved from Nyc to Chicago and he said he felt the same. And one of our couple friends were surprised to hear the patty being dry, so... off day?

    Easily one of the best burgers in Chicago…read more We both got the bad burger, except my friend got it with mac and cheese. The burger was juicy and the bun was soft; didn't feel like I had to unhinge my jaw just to get a bite like with some other burgers. The toppings for the burger paired harmoniously with the patties, with the pickles adding texture and bite. The fries paired with the burger were honestly whatever, but the spicy aoli paired with it elevated eating the fries. We also got an elote app to share. I did enjoy the cheese and corn and how warm and melty they were, but I think it could've gone without the avocado. The mac and cheese though, now that was absolutely delicious. It was gooey and soft, with the breadcrumbs and bacon adding texture and smokiness. The drinks I got, the sylvan and green eyes, were a little strong for me (I prefer sweeter), but nonetheless excellently mixed. If you like strong, classic flavors, these are for you.

    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.
