I really enjoy Epic burger but these loaded fries are a disappointment. There is no cheese just a little epic sauce. There's supposed to be cheese, jalapeños, onions and epic sauce but there's nothing loaded about these fries. read more

Great service and great people. Tipping options should be much higher than 5%. Who tips 5% in 2023, makes no sense to me. Should be 15-25 at the very least. The awesome employees deserve more! read more

Meh. That's about all I can say with this place. Never been to epic before and never will again. Dude! The price of this place is a joke compared to what you get. I'm usually not a price tag kind of guy but come on! The fries are the size of a small McDonald's fry. They were crispy but super bland. The burger I thought, would be grilled but it was fried. At least that's what it seemed. Very skimpy on the neat side. For a burger , fries and smaaaaaaaall drink it was $16. Eh. I tried it but never again. Guess I'll use Yelp to see what else is around here. Saw an interesting cafe on the way here. Well.. until next time ... read more

What happened to the fresh REAL French fries! Now their fries are frozen! That's one of the things that made them Epic! Those delicious hand cut fries! I ate most of them because I was hungry and didn't want to waste my money, But I definitely won't be back! This review is for the Westfield Old Orchard, Skokie location read more

Food is great but google maps say they open at 10 am and they actually open at 11 am. Saw the staff just standing around inside while multiple people lined up outside. Don't know why they wouldn't just open 5 minutes early read more

Epic Burger - Epic Epic - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I never feel guilty after eating here. I've been here a few times and their burger is really good. The edge is crispy and their epic sauce is pretty good. Griller onions too. They advertise how healthy their burger is and it doesn't taste like a overprocessed greasy rotten carcus of meat like the that place with the creepy king who advertises it as your way. Talk about a pushover monarch. Or that place with that creepy clown whose face turned white from all that meat bleach. Back to epic, their fries are a hit or miss. One visit they would be perfect and the next visit I would wonder if someone stole all their salt? Maybe they used it to salt the sidewalk cause it's snowing? They have mini donuts too! Try the powdered one, pretty good. Doesn't taste like the weird stuff you find at dunkin donuts. And get yourself a peanut butter shake if you can spare the calories. read more

Epic Burger - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great burgers and good service. Restaurant is very clean and well organized. The turkey burger is also terrific

Epic burger is fantastic! Not only is the food delicious, but the customer service at this Lincoln Park location is outstanding. The team had experienced a technical outage, still took our order and when their systems were back on line, realized that they couldn't process the payment and gave us the meal for free. In times where restaurants and service industries are struggling to keep employees, this team went above and beyond. Specifically, I'd like to call out Fausto the cook, their GM Chrishan and their cashier, Ken. They were serving customers, taking orders, and delivering excellence even when their systems didn't want to cooperate. I truly appreciated their kindness and will continue to revisit this location. read more

The food was okay the burger had no flavor though. It tasted like boiled meat. If not for the sauce and condiments it was blended. I think I would have enjoyed it a little if not for the horrible smell coming from the bathroom or sewers. The place is definitely not what it used to be a few years back. The cashier watches like a hog to make sure you add a tip when you pay. She was telling the other employee something rude about a person that did not tip. Lastly and grossly I say this. One of the male employees I am thinking it was the cook went to the restroom with his plastic gloves on and came back out in a couple of minutes with the gloves still on and made his way back to the kitchen. So much for needing to watch your hands. Please remove the darn gloves and get clean ones after you pee. never again. read more

The burgers are great and the service is wonderful. I wish the tip option on the pos would go up to 20%, they deserve it

Decided to try this place hungover this weekend. I was pretty impressed. The service was fast and the staff was so friendly. Portions were good and didn't feel like it has been sitting out all day. I got the single burger with cheese and bacon. I also recommend getting extra epic sauce since it was very good, as was the cold brew coffee milkshake. Pro tip: extra epic sauce. The fries were not my favorite as they weren't crispy and lacked seasoning which is why I give it 4 stars. read more

Epic Burger - Epic Burger - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I came here yesterday just by myself. I have my bag and book so I looked at the table first and put all of it on the table so no one can sit there. Then I went to the counter to order a burger and Peppermint Shake. After I order I sit on my chair and wait for my order. While waiting I roam my eyes and I can see a few customers in here. After a minute my order came. I'm amazed by their burger since it was too big. It has a patty, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, cheese and sauce. The best thing here was that it had a lot of sauce. When I bite it, it was so good and delicious. Their peppermint shake also was good. It was minty and sweet. I really like this. I can't wait to try their other goods when I come here again. read more

YES. PLEASE. ^This is my response anytime someone asks me if i want to go to Epic Burger. Here's why: They have the Beyond Burger. it's a completely plant-based burger - perfect for veggies, vegans, and people looking to try something new. The best part: it's not awful, haha. It's actually the best non-meat burger I've ever had at a fast food chain! And for those that like meat, I hear the Epic Burger is not only ethically made, but lives up to its name ;) read more

Epic Burger - Vegan-tastic. Honestly. Truly - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

You ever wake up in the morning craving meat? Well I do. This is the spot for all your beef cravings. Not only is it locally born and grazed, but it's also scrumptious. The shakes are thick, creamy, and I highly recommend the peanut butter. Food only took 3-6 minutes to arrive, so you know service is good. Hot Tip: For goodness shake, nobody likes lemon coconut milkshakes. But I come here multiple times a week and nobody judges me, so you know the staff was well trained. Amen. read more

Epic Burger - Food & drink - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Now, I like a burger just as much as the next guy, but I like it even better when it's had with one of my favorite friends and photogs, Andres D. Jealous? Yeah, I know. Andres took me here after a grueling 2 hour booze-binge at the biggest Binny's in the universe just around the corner. I don't know that I was in the mood for a burger, but I was in the mood for something big, juicy and if there could be an egg on top it'd be better than icing on the cake. Enter Epic. Menu, small but easy. choose from one of 4 burgers, a select bunch of traditional ingredients, white or wheat bun, it's a little extra for bacon, egg, and/or cheese, your beverage, and you simply MUST add one of those giant chocolate chip m&m's cookies, too. My partner in crime and burger time got himself a turkey burger topped with grilled onions that I *almost* ate by mistake... it looked so good! And I got a portobello burger that was just as good as any meat-y burger I'd ever had, topped with Wisconsin cheddar and a fried egg on an amazing wheat bun. I chose to get a side of fresh cut fries and douse them in malt vinegar - the best! I only wish I would've ordered an extra side of them as vinegar fries are my weakness... if they were able to toss some cilantro on there I might never have left. The burger at first and last bite was amazing. I like that I could cut it down the center and all the filling ish didn't come oozing out. It was big and extra stuffed but it was organized and one of the least messy burgers I've ever had. Epic is counter service and they bring the food to your table and clean up after as well. The staff here on this past Tuesday was exceptionally patient, welcoming and friendly- especially for it being so close to closing time. I don't often crave burgers and I'm not in this area much, but I know they have a few other locations and should I ever find myself in a hunger pickle and nearby, I defo wouldn't mind spending some burger time at Epic again... but next time I'm getting a peanut butter shake, too! read more

When my husband and I walked in here for lunch after some shopping in the area, I thought "does Chicago really need another burger joint?" I wasn't really in a burger type of mood so decided to order a PB smoothie instead. While I did enjoy my smoothie, I did have some food envy over my husband's chicken sandwich and fries. So much so that I ate about 2/3 of his fries...only fair since I'm eating for 2 these days! My husband loved his lunch so much that he asked if we could come back for dinner that very night. While we didn't make it back that night we went back a few weeks later for dinner. This time I jumped on the chicken sandwich, fry and soft drink combo bandwagon. I topped my chicken sandwich (served on wheat bread) with lettuce, cheddar cheese and grilled onions. I've had a lot of chicken sandwiches in my lifetime and I think this may be THE best. As we were eating my husband said "you know what...this is just what Chicago needed...a really good burger spot." And while I think we have plenty of options for burgers these days I guess we can make room for one that serves "epic" chicken sandwiches and fries. read more

I pass this place a lot, going to my chiropractor. It looks so hip inside, I was really excited to stop in recently. The plain decor is hip! And the great oldies on the Sirius radio was kind of cool, until some older lady kept singing along with everything. Epic has just a few items to order. Epic Burger, Turkey burger, Portobello, or Chicken Sandwich. You order the main category, and then the cashier will drill you with questions about what you want on it. I got the Epic Burger, added fried egg and bacon to it, with a side of fries and a drink. My order took about 10 minutes to be delivered. Service here is done with a smile. The burger meat wasn't bad. Bacon was awesome. But what was so wrong, was the fried egg cooked to "over hard". Who puts a fried egg on a burger that isn't dripping, practically still chirping? No yolks, folks! Seriously wrong. Handcut fries were on the soggy side and mostly small pieces too hard to pick up. Burger, fries, and drink came to almost $12. Good for a pop in if in the neighborhood and craving a burger. But then again, Burger Bar is just 2 blocks away. read more

When I bit into my burger I was expecting Braveheart to hit me in the face...NOW THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN EPIC!!! So as I ate my lunch I tried to figure out why this place was called Epic Burger. Maybe it was the Epic amount of time I had to wait for my food... 13 minutes! Or maybe it was the Epic amount of money I paid for a burger and fries...10 bucks! The verdict is still out! The burger was okay...the meat was kind of tasteless. I did like the char on the edges (reminds me of when steak and shake smashes the burger on the grill and gets an extra burn). There was really no seasoning, such a let down. I also got the blue cheese and it was only on half of my burger...hmmm I paid full price for cheese...this economy is getting really tough. The lettuce, tomatos and grilled onions were good. Thank you for not charging for grilled onions...I hate when a place gives you free raw onions but then charges you for grilled onions. It is the same thing with a little grill action. The bun was nice too. Oh yeah the Epic Sauce comes on the burger...I got mine on the side...the sauce is not that Epic...it is Thousand Island sauce (which I can get on a Big Mac or Big T Burger). Come up with an Epic Sauce if you are going to call it that! The hand cut fries were nice, but I asked for them crispy and they did not come out crispy...it is not that hard...just cook them a little longer then you have been doing all day. The menu also talks about how the fries are seasoned with sea salt...it would have been nice if they actually put some of that sea salt on the fries. They were so bland. I had to put my own salt and pepper on them. Two positives....there is a free parking lot....and they have organic ketchup on the table. I would not call this place Epic...in fact I would not even go and see the Sequel. Someone please find me an amazing burger joint in Chicago! read more

Epic Burger?? Eh, I'd rather have an Ethnic Burger. Or a Peptic Burger, maybe. I wasn't expecting what I encountered that frigid night. To be honest, I didn't have any idea of what Epic Burger, the restaurant and burger, looked like. The burger options were much more limited than I thought. I mean, they've got the "epic" burger, a turkey burger, chicken breast, and a 'shroom burger. Kinda cool. But options for toppings are slim. We've got lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, and some special sauce...an "epic" sauce. They've got a couple choices for cheese, but it's nothing to go gaga over. Fountain drinks and smoothies round out the menu hitting some common drinks that you might find at a local juice bar, similar to one which rhymes with Mamba Moose. I was close to going down to two stars [hey, it says "Meh. I've experienced better" which I certainly have], except for two things: service and french fries. The gals working the counter and running the food were very nice and super quick...and the fries pretty much saved the meal for me. Seasoned very well, these fries were plentiful and had a perfect balance of crunchy and soft. On a final note, let's stop using the word "epic" please. PLEASE. It was okay for the first half year, but c'mon. Epic Burger. Really?? I think this image says it all: http://tinyurl.com/EpicImage Enjoy the epically epic-ness of Epic Burger in it's most epic way. Epic. read more

Today, service was the key. Granted, it was prior to the lunch rush, but the staff went absolutely out of their way to make this an enjoyable visit. For that, I will be back every time I'm in Chicago...which is about every three weeks. I ordered an Epic burger and fries...no big deal. But right after my food came out, I received a work call. I stepped over by the window, where it was a little quieter. After taking the call for about 15 min, I sat back down. Having noticed I was away for a while from my food, the employee insisted on bringing me out a fresh order of fries. I said no, it was my fault they were Coke, but he insisted. A+ customer service there. And to top it off, as he dropped off my fresh order of fries, and headed back, the manager was walking by, and said "Nice job." to him. Are you kidding me? Not only was this phenomenal service, a restaurant manager who recognizes it, and encourages an employee for that behavior. I'm a sales manager for a medical device company, and I often don't see other managers recognize things like that, and encourage that behavior. Well done guys! read more

Epic Burger - Epic burger with everything, plus Avocado. Yum! - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Stopped in for some burgers and fries and left very satisfied. Their french fries and sweet potato fries are delicious. Unfortunately, they got my husband's order wrong so that was a bummer because we were starving. My burger was cooked perfectly and the ingredients were very delicious. I like the ordering process, wish it weren't so expensive (I mean, that's basically everything), and would definitely go back. Their milkshakes are really delicious! Haven't had one in a while, but I definitely want to go back and try a new one because they're so full of good stuff and they put a lot of effort into making each one. read more

Not the best burger in town but it's cheap and it quick! I tried the chicken sandwich and it was good, though nothing special. The fries were yummy! But the shakes were too sweet for my liking. This is a decent stop for a burger but with so many great options...why settle? read more

After a wonderful experience at the Royal George Theater, we went to Epic Burger on the way home. You order your burger at the counter and they serve it to you. I ordered the Epic Burger Classic with lettuce and tomato and a fried egg. I also ordered their fries. If you like your burgers thin, smashed against the grill to generate a crust, this is the way they make it here. Personally, I prefer a thick and meaty burger, but as far as the thinner burgers go, this was good. Honestly, I don't recall what I thought of the fries. So, they must have been passable. The decor is modern and airy. It has a cheerful feel to it - and others seem to like it well since it was pretty crowded when we were there. Overall, it was a good experience, but one that I don't think I'd go out of my way for again. read more

I feel weird reviewing a chain but this place is great! The burgers are fresh, and there are lots of options to customize what you are looking for at the time. I like their outdoor space so if you can. read more

I came here by myself. It's afternoon already so I only ordered burgers, fries and shakes. It took about 15 minutes before it was served and it's too long since I only ordered 3 foods. The patty that came was a little bit messy because there was a lot of mayo and cheese on there. The patty is rarely cooked so it's not good to eat. I find it watery and not juicy. The fries were cooked nicely. It's crunchy outside and soft inside. It has an equal amount of salt. Their shakes were delicious. It's sweet and soft. I find it very yummy. Can't wait to try their other dish. Hoping that the patty of the burger cooked perfectly. read more

Whenever shopping on North Ave *cough*Best Buy*cough* I always make a point to stop in here! Way better than greasy Five Guys! The prices are the same but at least the combo keeps it under $10...at least they have a combo! The fries are fully cooked and oh so yummy and I love the butter bun, it reminds me of Culvers ^o^ If you are wanting something yummy while shopping stop in here! My roommate loved his Epic Burger with everything including the egg and bacon! read more

I really like this burger joint for a few reasons: ++ Ingredients are procured with thought and care (organic, local, etc) ++ It's all a la carte style so less time spent telling cashier what you don't want and more time saying what you do ++ Bunless burger is damn near perfect in terms of tastiness and Nutrition ++ Fried egg, avocado, above-average bacon, grilled and fresh onion, pickle, and more options including a few different cheeses (NOT cheese-like product) Service is swift and they control waste nicely by not serving on a bunch of necessary plastic crap. Excellent overall. read more

I came here in the afternoon and there were few people inside. I sat on the table outside and felt the fresh air outside. I wear a sweater since it's cold outside. I ordered Chicken Sandwich and some frappes for drinks. You can choose lot of variety of dishes in their menu. It came really quick. When I open the wrap it's getting messy. The sauce on it spread on the veggies. The best thing here is that there is a lot of lettuce on it. The chicken sandwich is crispy. It's yummy and delicious and the only problem is it's messy when it comes to me. Their frappe is really good. I like its sweetness and the frappe on top. I tried their another dish maybe next time. read more

Epic Burger - Hot Honey Hot Chicken - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I gleefully ordered the new Beyond tenders via Door Dash. I had to get fries and a salad to meet the delivery minimum.

Epic Burger = Not so Epic... I was less than impressed with Epic Burger. Don't get me wrong, it's a relatively good burger. However, compared to similar concepts in the city, this definitely isn't the best. The burger concept at Epic Burger seems like it would be good and relatively inexpensive. However, my lunch ended up costing over $10 by the time I was done ordering. I was told that I could substitute a milkshake for a soda, but I wasn't told about the upcharge. The fries were acceptable, but were a bit greasy and not salty enough. The burger was good, but the special sauce seemed to be mayo and ketchup together. If you want a quick burger, Epic burger will satisfy, but if you want a truly epic one, this isn't the spot. read more

Epic Burger with Bacon and Cheese was $8.74 (tax included). For those of you price sensitive, go to five guys, as you get more burger for your buck. For those of you that are taste sensitive, go anywhere else. Epic Burger is an EPIC FAILURE. This place is a rip off of Culvers first of all. Same greasy, butter burger. I felt my veins clogging just looking at the grease that was running off the burger on my plate. I'm sorry, but a good burger doesn't need to disappear in oil and butter. A good burger lets the meat do the talking (see KUMA's). Additionaly, my bruger was served with an un-melted piece of cheese on it. Un-melted cheese?? That's a trademark of McDonalds. And the wafer thin patty?? Where's the beef dude? The place is nice and clean, and the staff was friendly, but i won't be back. This place is not worth driving to. And truthfully, i'm shocked at all of the positive reviews of this place. We have so many good burgers in the city. What's wrong with you people??? read more

Not a first date kind of place. In fact, make sure the person already loves you unconditionally because by the end of your "Epic" experience you will likely be covered in grease and condiments and have onion breath. Epic Burger is fine, but I don't know what makes it special. They have a good number of options - e.g., turkey burger, portabello mushroom sandwich, different cheeses - but the prices are not cheap and what you get for your hard-earned cash is a greasy, sloppy disaster that will inevitably fall apart so you need a fork to finish it off (which is not really the point of a burger). I just wasn't that impressed. read more

I swear that's the only place I know that doesn't take cash! Isn't it ridiculous I've never waited longer for a milkshake to go. It took a lady 20 minutes to make it RIGHT in front of me, cause she was also chatting with some security guy and it felt like eternity! After all I was really disappointed to find out it didn't even taste good! Well, I know I won't be coming here anymore. I am not supporting businesses that limit me and then perform a poor service with a meh quality. read more
