The burger that I put together was really good. Turkey burger, white bread, add bacon, nix onions, nix EPIC sauce, just mayo and ketchup for me. I combo'd it up and had a good time. The combo is on the expensive side, but they DO offer organic ketchup, recycled napkins and cups, so I guess in the end I don't feel bad for spending the money to go back. The workers were nice and I had a good time! The toppings were fresh and my fries were exceptional. All in all, I am sure I will be making an return trip. Yums! read more

Epic Burger is an epic fail. I hate to admit I fell victim to the hype. We went tonight for what smelled like a delicious experience. Unfortunately, before the food could arrive we were already totally annoyed. We ordered two burgers, one as a combo and one single burger. After we waited for a table to be cleaned, I noticed the receipt had our burgers, but no fries or a drink. The hubs patiently stood in line to straighten out the misunderstanding, only to be told we could get our fries and a drink, but we had to pay full price. I'm sorry, what? My wallet is being punished because you messed up? I'm immediately pissed. A decent burger might have made me feel better, but alas, it sucked. The bacon was burned, the egg was overcooked, and the patty was thinner than a crepe. I can't believe we spent almost $20 on this crap. If you want bad service and a good burger, go to Five Guys. Or better yet, do what I wish we had done and go sit outside at Urban Burger Bar. read more

I'll keep this short and sweet... Went to Epic Burger on 1/16/12 after some shopping. Ordered a Double Cheeseburger with onion, bacon, mayo, as well as, a small drink and fries. The cost of my order was $14.23!!!!!?????? Needless to say, I should have cancelled it and said no thanks but decided to just pay the price and try them out. When the burger arrived, it was literally loaded in greese. There was so much grease you could put that burger on a paper napkin to drain and STILL have grease on it dripping. Because there was so much grease on the burger, I threw away the bun and just ate the meat with some fries. These guys are certainly NOT worth the price you pay for their food. The service is quick, staff is friendly, restaurant is clean, but they are way overpriced, over greased, and just not plain worth it. You could go to McDonald's for a Double Quarter Pounder, fries, and drink and only pay around $7.00 or go to 5 Guys, get a better burger, and pay somewhat less. Take my advice, avoid this place. read more

Yes, it is a chain- and not health food. Yummy. Cut me some slack here! I had an excessive week of work, I haven't been eating well (or at all) thus earning serious indulgence. A friend who is by trade a food critic liked it. Yes. And this is the kind of guy who will tell you all in graphic, mouth-watering detail while you are starving... started recklessly daydreaming about the kind of Truck-stop burgers they serve in Texas with juicy meat, toasted bun- big, fresh glistening tomatoes, bright crisp lettuce and enough condiments to take a bath in. And this is as close as I've come in Chicago to that meat fantasy memory. It was good... not quite Kumas-pedestal-good, mind you, but satisfying. Notice there was no wait though every table was packed and every employee hustling- no wait (y'hear? NO WAIT) and it was hot, fresh, and the fries were perfection: Just the right size for a side, crispy, salty and hot. I feel sorry for those of you who order solely fries as your meal then complain it is insufficiently portioned: Best of luck and bless you for your upcoming angioplasty. I liked the wheat bun for the texture and added ability to sop up sauce. Dr. Pepper fountain drinks contribute to my adoration. The south in me craves a big ol' Dr. Pepper. Never shy, I like the community seating as there is always someone new and neat to talk to who'll pass the pepper shaker. Also, Victoria's Secret is a block away. I got fitted* for bras* after this deliriously delicious meal. It was awesome. *For those of you who dislike boobs (Critic-friend qualifies as he is gay), Apple is two or three blocks away. See? EVERYBODY has a hamburger and leaves happy! read more

Although the menu appears small, it is varied enough where you can get what you want in a burger or other type of sandwich. I got the Epic with a shake and fries. The burger was a bit salty and over charred, but decent. The sauce was really good and not overpowering. The fries were just okay. I ordered a basic chocolate shake and it was very very good. Thick, but not so much where it gives you a headache. I really up this place one star because of the "greener" menu. I went with a small group of dads and our kids, and we were glad we actually found a booth. For kids, you can get a little grilled cheese sandwich which is not on the menu. It was really good and my daughter loved it. read more

Tell me I'm wrong, but if you get the "#1" combo, does it cost $0.20 more than if you bought the burger, fries, pop individually? I can't be the only person to notice this. No, I did the math while I was eating my bland turkey burger, as in, no seasoning whatsoever. Just ground turkey. Flower's cow burger was bland too. Fries were good. Maybe go back for the fries only, if I can get past the feeling I've been ripped off. Two flags. More flags, more fun! read more

Makes me wanna YACK Burger. Greasy, soggy everything. Next time I want to poison myself, I'll remember that I can get food of this caliber at Burger King -- with better service (it wouldn't take much) for a fraction of the price. read more

Perhaps I expect better when the word "epic" is thrown around, but I'll have to take an extra star away for false advertisement. While my burger was dripping with juice, it just didn't that have "oomph" that comes with burgers in this price range. The chicken sandwich my wife ordered had a grilled sliver of chicken placed on it that was nearly paper-thin. Again, for the price we paid, the sandwiches didn't deliver. Topping all of this off with bland, soggy fries didn't help the situation. Another thing, we made the mistake of ordering a smoothie. The smoothie supposedly had fat-free yogurt and was the furthest thing from a decent, thick, flavorful smoothie--the normal kind I know and love. Bleh. As far as the eco stuff is concerned, if they're so "eco-conscious", why does their MENU have to be on TWO electricity-sucking 40" HDTV's? read more

It doesn't help much when we get to the counter to order and the girl taking our order is biting on her painted nails and mumbling to us about our order. They do have a decent burger and I like the concept of organic offerings. We came for the grand opening and really liked it, but seems like the service and quality has slipped since. read more

Another lets get on the gourmet burger bandwagon and rave about an overpriced hamburger and fries..... Get real...just ok burgers worth half the price. That's all. read more

After some speedy Christmas shopping (OK, not so speedy. Buying for your boss and your husband's co-workers is never speedy. Or easy.) I was so so soooo hungry so we hopped on over to Epic Burger. I had heard mediocre things, but in the end, i was pleasantly surprised. I like how Epic burger is simple. And the ingredients are good which allows them to be simple. Love the whole wheat buns, pickles and Wisconsin Cheese. Really tasty. I had the turkey burger and as a beef burger girl, I found it to be really, really good. And when I was done? I didn't feel disgusting, greasy or overloaded - satisfied is the word. One "meh" aspect? The fries.I give them an OK - a little too greasy for my taste and next time, i will go without. But I will be back for a quick, reasonably priced meal post-shop-a-thon! read more

My best friend and I were shopping when the smell of beef was too good to ignore. So, like the foraging champs we are, we followed the smell across the parking lot to the new Epic Burger location. It was their soft opening before their Grand and they had extended invitations to selected guests for free meals. Like stubborn bears in a forest, we stood there until the owner guy gave us a free meal. Yes, creepy, but the food smelled so good! Good lord! The beef is so good. That sauce is the right mixture of sweet and tangy. The bun! Soft yet still toasted enough not to get all soggy. But the star is the beef. Juicy, flavorful and unlike any hamburger I've tasted (even In N Out in L.A.) I've been there twice and I can't get enough. PS: the milkshakes are simply wonderful. read more

I consider myself a connoisseur of the finer things in life. Sure, it took me 3 (maybe 4) times to correctly spell connoisseur, but that's neither here nor there. As I was saying, I'm well versed in the finer things in life: screw-top wines, gummy candy and of course, turkey burgers. Epic Burger does turkey burgers like I do reading: surprisingly well. The North Ave location is my favorite because they're super friendly, clean and neighborhood-like. And the quality is pretty darn good. Although the lettuce isn't so crisp, but neither am I - so I'm not complaining. Their tagline is "a more mindful burger" which ties to the ingredients / process. I've been to a couple other locations (South Loop ... eeks! Noooooo ... whyyy?!) so I think I'll just stick with this one. Oh - and that epic sauce is pretty tasty too, but I get it on the side (because I like to control my fun). read more

Came back for a chocolate shake last week while making a shopping run nearby. Still like the price, but the quality of this shake has fallen back to earth for me...it's fine, and a good fit if I'm blowing cash in the stores at this parking lot (Best Buy, West Elm, etc.). I would never go out of my way to get a shake here; Burger Bar crushes this one in terms of quality and is more worthy of a drive only to get the shake. Still need to try the burger/fries but purely for dessert, investigate your other options before settling here. read more

I am a fan! My husband and I had a very good meal at Epic Burger. I had the portabella mushroom burger and he had some full of meat and cheese one. He never will choose mushroom over meat..lol Well, both of the burgers were tasting like .... Tasting like really good burgers. I don't really liked the fries thou. I had had epic burger before in another location and I liked both places the same. Plus I like to believe that they really care for organic, and for recycling. Call me silly, but it makes me feel better somehow. As any fast food restaurant, the service is not excellent. But I had no problems with anyone, tables and the facility were pretty clean and organized. As always we filled our stomach with all that goodness and we left feeling too full. But this is definitely something I would blame on the restaurant! :) read more

SUPER good fries: thickish cut, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside Tried the turkey burger with everything on wheat and it was decent. Decent enough to where I would come back. The epic sauce is kind of a less flavorless version of Big Mac sauce, its alright, super mayo-y. Tried my friend's skinny vanilla shake, pretty tasty so questioning the 'skinny' part of the name. I like the simple concept of Epic, ingredients are pretty fresh and they try to go the healthy route with some items. Although its a little pricey, the ingredients seem to be pretty good. Good place for a quick, quality burger. read more

I love this atmosphere for a week midweek lunch. The food was meh. I like it more than fast food, but I think it's overpriced. The staff were super friendly and the fries were amazing. I really like these fries. A lot. I think the original beef is best. I've also tried turkey and chicken. Chicken tastes like it could be light, but I bet it's still an enormous amount of calories. read more

Their burgers are AMAZING! Whenever I go, I gotta get the double Turkey Burger, it's a can't miss burger. You can't forget about the freshly cut fries and I always gotta get a smoothie to go with it that they make on the spot with REAL fruit, no fake stuff. You can't go wrong with the "P.B. Enjoy" that's made with peanut butter and banana or the "Milk & Honey" that's made with banana, almonds & honey. And don't forget, make sure you say "YES" when they ask you for their "EPIC" sauce, it's not an "EPIC BURGER" without the "EPIC" sauce! read more

This is definitely one of the good spots here in Chicago to get a delicious and amazing burger. It is also a good place to consider the perfect vibe that the restaurant has, which is something pretty chill and casual. What I like about them is that you can get any burger you want because their menu has a wonderful selection of them, and they even have vegan options for vegans, which is really nice. The service is also friendly and just a bit slow because my order was not served for like 20 minutes after I ordered it. The wait was worth it to me because I liked the burger. It has a huge portion. It tastes fresh and it tastes delicious. It's the kind of burger I could eat every day, and I wish I could. I also like their fries, which come in a generous portion, well-seasoned and crispy. As for the pries, no worries when it comes to this because everything is reasonable in its taste and portion. read more

I loved my dinner at Epic Burger. I'm afraid to look up the fat, cholesterol & calorie content of that over-the-top burger, so I'm thinking I probably can't eat there very often if I don't want an instant heart attack. OK, it's my own fault for going there after work, having skipped lunch. Ummm, I'll have a DOUBLE. Cheddar cheese? Sure. Whole wheat bun? Yeah, sounds good. Onion, raw or grilled, tomato, lettuce, "Epic sauce" (thousand island with a hit of pepper sauce)? Oh yeah. Bacon? Is there any question? Finally...a fried egg, runny or hard-cooked? Oh, why not? Side salad instead of fries? Yeah, I don't need all the potato carbs and oil. Fountain drink: lemonade rather than pop. Like I said, the burger tasted magnificent. It was huge and juicy, the many flavors of the several ingredients all melding into a wonderful experience. While the burger was good and juicy, the sheer amount of liquid dripping off the sandwich into a pool in my paper wrapping was a bit disturbing. Was that pure beef tallow--i.e., are they using some really not-so-lean beef, or did they melt half a stick of butter over the patties? I'm not sure I want to know. The burger itself was messy enough that I was glad I was dining solo; this may not be the impression you want to give on a first date. The menu board wasn't clear that there was an upcharge for each add-in. My $9 combo meal (fountain drink, double burger & side salad) grew to $14.54 after tax(cheddar $.89, bacon $.99 & fried egg $.79). It was reasonable and worth every penny, but I was surprised when the cashier announced the total, and I had to go back in my wallet for a fiver to add to the ten spot I was holding. I ate inside at a clean comfortable booth. A waitperson delivers your meal to the table, with the aid of a number flag you post yourself. There's outside seating as well, but it overlooks a suburban-style parking lot and has zero view or ambiance. read more

Epic Burger falls into a weird category of eatery: it's way too expensive to be considered a "fast food" place on a McDonald's level, but it doesn't really have the quality and atmosphere of a sit-down restaurant. The result is a place I don't really hit up too often, except (perhaps ironically) for their smoothies. That's not to say the Epic Burger isn't worth a shot. It's a solid, messy burger that gets a lot better the more stuff you put on it. What that says about the quality of the actual burger, I don't know. But I tried it once without the egg and Epic sauce and once with both, and the meal was enhanced considerably by the extra toppings. That burger, fries and drink combo broke the $10 barrier thanks to the extra charges for each topping, and if I'm spending that much I'd rather drop an extra few bucks and hit up Sully's House. All that said, the smoothies are fantastic. I've actually gone back more for them than for the burgers, and they're consistently delicious and filling. I especially like the Milk & Honey and P.B. Enjoy. read more

I'm with my family and we will be having a picnic in plaza. Since my kids love the burger we went here first to buy a burger for takeout. We have a container to put our orders in so it doesn't get messy. Last time I bought a Burger her for my kids for takeout, when they opened it it was already messy since the sauce and cheese were already in the packaging and in the bun. We gave our container to the staff while they prepared my order. I'm the only one to order and they are in the car. I'm glad that they have quick service. Their burger was great. Everytime I order here my kids and wife enjoy the food. They said it's pretty yummy and the patty was flavorful. So we highly recommend this place to you. read more

Epic? Merely Decent Burger is more like it....maybe. Is there a more overused word in the english language currently than "epic"? "Epic" is the new "awesome". Every thing is epic these days. What's next? Epic Toothpaste? If you are going to use "Epic" in your name, my expectations are going to be big. They should have called it Trendy Burger. How else to you justify charging $11 for a burger, fries and soft drink in a fast food restaurant? Epic offers 5 different sandwiches, hamburger, turkey, chicken, blt, mushroom and only french fries as a side option. That is it for food! Epic likes to use words like "all natural" "cage free" "nitrate and transfat free" on their menu. Gee, you mean this place is healthy too? I think I'll order a burger with cheese, bacon and fried egg on it plus fries and a milkshake as long as it's good for me! The burger is ok but the fries might be the worst I've ever had in Chicago. Soggy and saturated with grease from not being cooked in hot enough oil, they came stuck together in a giant clump in a greasy bag. Despite a limited menu, Epic burger has all sorts of merchandise for sale. Hats, t-shirts and giant coffee mugs line all the walls here. They'll sell you the giant coffee cup but they don't sell coffee! Epic Burger committed my number one restaurant pet peeve while I was there as well. 3 minutes after my food arrived, I was asked if I was done eating while still holding my burger and half a clump of fries on my tray. You're going to rush me out of your restaurant 3 minutes after my $11 burger combo arrives? Fine, I'm never coming back. If I want a superior burger, I'll get a char-broiled one at The Wiener's Circle or Portillo's for half the price. read more

One of the best aspects of this restaurant is that you can get a healthy alternative to the traditional burger: a turkey burger on a wheat bun. This is fairly rare at fast food joints, and I'm a fan. However, the burger wasn't anywhere near "epic" - it was good, but nothing I haven't had before. The fries were pretty good, although, again, nothing new. My boyfriend is a HUGE fan of this place because you can get a low-fat milkshake and a healthier alternative to a fast food burger, which is true... just don't expect your mind to be blown. read more

The Ilead. War and Peace. Infinite Jest. From the moment authors were putting ink to the papyrus, the possibility of an epic has been within their grasp. I haven't read anything longer than a "Ranger Rick" magazine in 30 years, but I'd choose Epic Burger over Emily Brontë without hesitation. I was introduced to Epic Burger a few years ago after a trip to the movies to see "Trainwreck". Blame it on the unsavory meal or the unsavory comedy of Amy Schumer, but the experience was wholly pedestrian. So disgruntled over the entire evening, my dining partner and I ended up quarreling and I almost stepped in front of a bus. Needless to say, when she suggested we return for a quick bite, I was as happy as coulrophobic with free tickets to the circus. But after me lately visit, perhaps I'll buy her that new knitted shawl she's been begging for, because her suggestion led to a wonderful meal. Epic promises "a more mindful burger" at any of its eight Chicago area locations. All natural beef, plant based packaging and organics up the wazoo--you'll find it all here. They offer a Bite Club which allows member discounts and chances to earn free items. I'm even getting free fries next time just for signing up! Oddly, they don't accept cash. I'm not sure about checks, money orders, or pieces of silver...so to be on the safe side, just make sure to bring a credit card. The Lincoln Park locale was buzzing on a mild Saturday afternoon. The above normal temps were bringing out burger-believers from the 'burbs to Bricktown. There was even a guy there wearing a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey. Talk about making the drive! Epic can be described as fast-casual. After ordering at the counter, you're given a number and the food is brought to your table with the speed of 10,000 stallions. My dining partner and I had planned to order a meal, but were informed that Epic no longer provides that option. As a result, we ordered an Epic Burger Classic, a Beyond Burger, a Chocolate Milkshake and Sweet Potato Fries. The Epic Burger Classic was the single patty option with Aged Cheddar, All Natural Bacon and Epic Sauce. Though the Epic Sauce was sparse and the bacon was a bit too "fast-foodish," it was a very satisfying meal. I could have eaten more, so I'll plan to go for the double patty option along with a wheat bun next time. The Beyond Burger was introduced a few months back and is plant based (beets, potatoes, coconuts, bamboo, peas), high in protein and low in cholesterol. It doesn't taste quite like beef, but still "one of the best veggie burgers ever" according to my dining partner. She kept raving about how good it was and the minuscule bites I was able to pry from her grasp hit the spot for me as well. She also loved the organic ketchup and could taste the quality ingredients with every bite. The chocolate shake was basic, but delicious. A malt needs to be thick, dear reader, and this one delivers. Epic needs to have better straws on hand to handle it, but otherwise, it was what we were craving. The specialty shakes look scrumptious too, and will be enjoyed at a later date. The Sweet Potato Fries were on the thin and crunchy side, so I'm afraid we'll have to call those a miss. And, okay, the fries were very meh, but it's the little things that Epic Burger does that makes it less of a big deal. What may be lacking in that sub-par fry can be made up with the underlying feeling that Epic Burger actually cares, or is at least good at making you think they do. You can pig out, or choose a healthier option that doesn't taste like garbage. You can get a fountain drink and refill it until your little heart is content instead of shelling out three bucks for a 12 ounce can. You can pay half of what you would fork over at other sit-down burger places around town and get something as good (DMK) or ten times at good (Burger Bar). You can eat there knowing that maybe I'm just chowing down on a burger and it's not going to fix the hole in the ozone layer, but at least I'm giving my money to a place that is doing SOMETHING tangible to make the planet a little cleaner. There's even a social component that asks you to hashtag your experience and wind up on the restaurant's dining room TV screen in real time. What kid (or adult for that matter) wouldn't love that? So I'll definitely be back and if the fries still aren't how I like them, then so what, I got a free coupon. I'm not coming here for the fries anyway. Food: **** Atmosphere: **** Service: **** Overall: **** read more

See all

The name of this joint says it all. For those of you like me who are watching your figure and still decide to eat here, be aware that there is a junior size for all the burgers which makes the calorie count a bit more bareable. The veggie option is the portabella sandwich which is also epic. Definitely, definitely worth the calories. read more

When I am out and about on the town and need to eat healthy, Epic Burger is on my top 3 list. The customer service is always warm, the staff is professional with exceptional customer service. The restaurant is clean and that makes me even more confident in my decision to eat here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

two words: NOT EPIC This is one of those places that doesn't stand out, but you can't say it's bad either. I tried the turkey burger with whole wheat bun and everything on it. The epic sauce is very good but the meat and the bun itself wasn't anything special at all. The fries weren't special either. If I was hungry and there was nothing around, I wouldn't mind going here, but don't go out of your way to try this place. Not worth the trip. read more

North and Clyborn has become a Burger Mecca, with places like Epic Burger and Burger Bar to go to. I liked my burger, with Wisconsin aged cheddar, grilled onions, pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, and Epic sauce. The fries were a bit too earthy for me, and I hate organic ketchup. It took a really long time for me to get my food, and people were hovering around my table, since there was not enough seating for everyone. I felt guilty for taking up a booth, but I hate sitting at a communal table in the middle, too, so it was first come first served. The smoothies looked good, and they use Horizon Organic Milk. Better than Burger Bar. read more

Definitely not an epic win, but definitely not an epic fail...epic mediocrity it is, then. The $0.69 egg add-on is the devil. How can I say no to that? They forgot my cheese though, which automatically drops this down a star. F*ckin' amateurs... I won't be the first one to point out that the patty is too small. I don't need it to be Kuma's size, but come on now. Five guys is such a better option. read more

I had a double burger with the works and it was pretty good, but also pretty expensive for what it is. I'll never knock a star off for price, but given that I can go to Kuma's and get a burger that is way better, bigger and the around the same price, I think there is a lack of value here. All in all three stars because this place was good, but not great. I wouldn't suggest going out of your way for this, but if you live in the area and are looking for a quick fix, this is a good option. read more

Yet another "best burger in town" joint but this one I really like. The menu, concept, and taste is thumbs up by me. Taste is the ultimate test and they do have a tasty and well appointed burger. The fries are Five Guys caliber and for $3 less. Combo price is $8.97 vs $9.77 ala carte, so it's .80 less. Maybe some were confused with Jr. Burger ala carte price of $4.99? I like the set combos and the option to upgrade an egg or cheese, or malt. Kind of a fast food splurge if you want a change or bit more than a Steak & Shake experience. read more

Meh....decent food but the price is toooooooo high for what you get (and the cacophany of yelling kids didn't help either...) I wanted to like Epic but ended up with little more than an appreciation of their philosophy. The burger was just average - actually both my wife and I thought the fries out-shined the burger. IMHO the "build-your-own" burger model should cost far less than a chef-designed burger. (We spent over $20 on a meal for 2 at a "fast-food" style joint.) I mean I have to do the work of deciding what accouterments work best and then hope the person on the grill knows exactly how to make it structurally stable and most flavorful. No thanks...too many other better option in this fine city than a glorified Fuddruckers. read more

I actually really enjoyed the burgers here! I had a bacon cheeseburger on a wheat bun and it was delicious! Yes, there are better burgers to be had elsewhere, but they have Epic sauce which is really good! The fries were also really good, too! An added bonus, the staff was super polite! The service deserves 10 stars! I can't wait to come back to try a shake or smoothie with my Epic burger read more

YUM! Brought 4 little girls here for lunch and the 5 of us left with full bellies and smiles on our faces. The girls all had jr. burgers which were just the right size for them (they range from 8-12yrs) and I had the epic with everything, on wheat. DELICIOUS! We also got 4 chocolate milkshakes and it was all less than 30 bucks. Sure, they aren't the fanciest burgers around, but they are juicy and the lettuce and tomatoes were very fresh...should be standard but most places serve up wilted lettuce and mealy toms...we'll consider this a win for epic! Good burgers, fast service and plenty of seats (noon on a Thursday). I'll be back for sure! read more

I love the freshness of the ingredients that Epic Burger uses on their burgers. The patties aren't thick but with all the other fresh fixings you can throw on your burger (egg, bacon, lettuce, pickle, onions, and epic sauce), you're full after chowing down on your burger. The fries are fresh cut and taste amazing. The shakes, the peanut butter especially, hits the spot when you're looking for a drink to pair with your burger. I find this Epic Burger to be cleaner and have better customer service than the Epic Burger down on Harrison and State. If you're looking for a burger and don't want to eat a gross processed "burger" from McDonalds, then by all means find your way over to Epic Burger. read more

I never get to eat a burger because it's nearly impossible to find local, grass fed meat in an indianapolis restaurant (though, it's getting better). The burgers are AMAZING and delicious and full of flavor and they make my belly sing. I for-go the fries to get the milk and honey smoothie. The menu is easy to navigate. The food is good. The service is okay. And they have ketchup without high fructose corn syrup (only on the tables though, not to go). read more

I went in last night after hours of shopping and becoming incredibly famished. I was in shock and awe over all the options, the fact that super sustainable meats and produce are used and that they are incredibly environmentally conscious with their utensils. That being said, I guess I don't understand the hype. I can order a fried egg on a burger at most burger establishments (albeit, not fast food places). I shared a junior burger on wheat with horseradish havarti, grilled onions, egg and the other stuff, sans epic sauce. The bun was pretty decent but I ran out of it half way through my meal. The toppings weren't anything special and the cheese was good. The meat needed salt, it was incredibly bland and dry. The fries were like everywhere else. A big plus is that they do leave dijon mustard at the table which is what I love to dip fries in. I had a chocolate peanut butter milkshake that was super! I like that they give you the option of the types of milk, including soy, and that you can select yogurt over iced cream. I am really glad I tried this place but I am not sure if I would ever go if I'm seriously craving a burger. read more

This is just ok. Lots of hype with little to back it up. Don't get me wrong, the burger was fine (other than the copious amounts of grease that come off of it) but not quite a $6 burger. Heck. Not even fast food chains have burgers this greasy. That said, I gave Epic Burger an extra star because the staff was more than outstanding. They were courteous, friendly and went out of their way to ensure a good experience. I'm not sure if I would go back. There are plenty other places to get a good burger in this town. read more

I like burgers. I saw an ad somewhere for Epic Burger. Thought I'd see if it lived up to the claim of its name. Definitely good burgers, not epic. It was epicly clean inside though...if that counts. As for the food, they try to be a tad different by offering a fried egg on your burger, or a giant portabella cap burger, but at this point they seem to be behind the game, because both of those things have become more standard burger-joint fare, at least in my experiences. Fries were good, but average. However, I did not have a milkshake, so if i go back and it blows my mind I'll bump it up 1 Star. read more
