    Extremely meh - got a single cheeseburger and the patty wasn't even there in some spots. Nice presentation but not worth the premium over the mcds around the corner.

    Farm Burger ... no epic sauce.

    They were pretty quick... got it to go. Got small Cajun fries... Dog & Farm Burger... delish!!!

    Receipt of food purchased

    If you're hungry, in a group, or even just looking for a straightforward burger spot near Loyola, I'd suggest skipping Epic Burger. Our group of 12 showed up around 8pm on a Monday night, typically a slower time you'd expect to grab a bite and relax. There was a family of 8 ahead of us, so we waited in line about 20 to 25 minutes but never even made it to the register. Figuring it might speed things up, I placed a $34.06 order through the Toast app. Shortly after, a young dark haired white woman working there informed us that all orders placed at the counter were takeout only, even though the restaurant was nearly empty and there was plenty of seating. She told us we couldn't eat inside, even though the place was open until 9pm. That made no sense, especially after waiting in line and ordering food through their app. I went up to the counter to explain we didn't realize there was no dine-in and asked to cancel our order. A male worker told us to cancel it through the app. Problem is, there was no cancel option available. So, I ended up paying for food we never received, and 11 others in our group walked out without spending a dime. We ended up grabbing dinner at a chicken chain down the street, and at least there, we were served with a little professionalism and respect. The food at Epic Burger? Never got to try it. The ambiance? Unavailable. The service? Easily one of the worst experiences I've had in Chicago. If you're on a tight schedule, especially as a Loyola student, save yourself the hassle. This place doesn't seem to value your time or your business.

    Grilled chicken sandwiches and EPIC FRIES
    Sharon B.

    Quick service and we had a buy one get one coupon. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside. Rather than a burger, we both had the grilled chicken which was delicious. French fries were exceptionally good as well. They even had a gluten-free bun, which made me happy! We will have to try the hamburger next time.

    two burgers with lettuce and a side of ketchup
    Azka I.

    A great spot for a halal burger. The grilled chicken and beef burger are both halal but not the rest of the meat. The burgers were brought out in less than 5 minutes. I got grilled chicken in a lettuce wrap with epic sauce. The lettuce could have been wrapped around better because it was just placed on the top and bottom which lead to the burger being hard to eat. The chicken tasted good and fresh. The beef burger was good and juicy. The fries were nothing special. Happy hour is 2-5 pm and burgers are only $5.99.

    Sweet potato fries and hot honey
    Nicole O.

    I enjoyed my first time at Epic Burger. The hot honey chicken sandwich was good and messy. Get your napkins ready! The service was excellent and went above and beyond what you expect from fast food. I was very impressed and would return again.

    Loaded fries
    Fiona P.

    This place is so underrated. The double cowboy burger was elite. The loaded fries were excellent and the staff is phenomenal!

    CLASSIC EPIC BURGER
    Wendy P.

    Seriously fresh and tasty burger. It's cooked smash burger style with onions, pickles, lettuce, tomato, and a special sauce. You have the option to customize toppings and they also have a double or triple patty option. Whoa! The menu has a bunch of other classic burger joint features including fries, fish sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, milk shakes and much more. Very friendly service with plenty of places to sit but we opted to grab and go. I will be back to try them all. Nom nom!

    BYOB & SWEET POTATO FRIES
    Jacob P.

    Great burger spot! Smash patties and notably fresh veggie toppings. Probably one of the few places you can get a "craft" burger for less than $10. Everything is a la carte, but a large fry is more than enough to share between two people. Staff were friendly, service was quick, and floor had plenty of tables and was clean. We'll be back!

    Classic build your own with sweet potato fries!

There is outdoor seating under a pergola lined with semi-private planters, while the inside features a bar, high tops, low tops, and large booths. The music was upbeat, giving the space an elevated lounge vibe that pairs really well with the upholstered booths and vintage industrial design. I ordered the Wolf Burger, which is a whopping three-patty burger. That first bite was juicy and pure bliss--a total explosion of great flavors. It was a little messy (like all burgers with an egg), but the extra liquid was perfect for balancing the density of such a meaty burger. The soft bun soaked in a lot of those juices with each bite, intensifying the flavor as I ate more. The fries were thin and on the greasier side--not my personal favorite, but they worked alright as a vehicle for the sauce. Speaking of which, the chili aioli served with the fries was fantastic. We also got the mac and cheese, which hit a great balance between rich and creamy without feeling excessively wet. The boat it came in was a bit small, making it a little messy to scoop out with the serving spoon, but it was soooo good. Overall, it is absolutely a fantastic neighborhood place for comfort food and drinks with friends in a great space!
