This place exceeded my expectations (which are always low when it comes to burger places). I am personally not a big burger person and the only burgers I will eat is In and Out when at home in California. Epic Burger's burger was really good. I think its the sauce that made it for me but all the ingredients were great. I also had a peanut butter shake which was awesome! Yay for peanut butter! I will definitely be eating here again. Anyone with a Loyola ID get a discount to boot. :) Friendly staff too! read more

Great and fresh burger! Came right when they opened before our flight home. Very impressed with the quality of ingredients and the quantity. Will definitely be returning the next time we are in Chicago! read more

The burger was really crispy and dry. The fries are decent, but mine were a little cold. They got my sister's order wrong and offered no remedy, just insisted that she'd ordered it that way. read more

Darn good vegetarian burger. I ordered the bunless portobello vegetarian burger with fries. No complaints. Service was quick, restaurant was clean, and I ate everything on my plate. read more

This is my favorite burger place ever! Service is friendly, food is delicious and awesome burger. When you want something quick, affordable and with an ambience you feel welcome and taken care of, this is the spot. I love the fact that they have sweet potato fries and recently they added delicious milk shakes! It's a fast casual yummy homey spot worth checking out- even for takeout! read more

Epic Burger - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great Burger! Won't go as far as to say it was 'Epic' but still pretty darn good. You can customize it like crazy, which is surprising given their simple menu. But I threw an egg (sunny-side up) on there and some bacon and was pretty satisfied with the messy results. I was able to squeeze all that in between a whole wheat bun too, alleviating some of my diet-related guilt. Also, the regular-sized single patty was more than enough to fill a big guy like me up. It is a bit more expensive than a fast food burger joint, but the ingredients and size of the burger make up for it I'd say. Also, try the shakes, they're yummy! read more

Nothing really special about this bacon cheese burger and in fact I ordered it with a fried egg that was hard throughout which really ruined my burger experience. Not sure I would be back. read more

Maybe I was hoping for more but it was really just an average burger. The shake was too small for the price and it there wasn't anything that left an epic impression in my mind. Convenient to down town hotels and quick service however makes it a great lunch break destination when you really aren't sure what you're in the mood for. read more

Get DCheeseburger w/FF folks. On my 2nd visit, I stopped by to order their FF to accompany my Chick-Fil-A Sandwich. I guess I REALLy liked their FF... Their DCheeseburger was one for the mantle as far as cheesburgers go - On my 1st visit, I ate upstairs (yeah, there's an upstairs)! Upon my next visit, I plan on ordering one of their smoothie drinks!!! read more

So idk what's worse. The chick with the tatted up face or the lady that took my order who doesn't know how to listen I asked for a runny-egg. She gave it to me fried She kept interrupting me as I ordered. I asked for wheat bread and she was like "beef?" And I'm like "no chicken, on wheat bread" "beef?" The food was tasty. Its obviously it's all that grease. I feel fat and groggy now. read more

Same fresh food you get at the other locations but 2 floors of seating! Now when I crave Epic Burger I don't have to get in my car and drive over to North Ave and stand around looking for a place to sit! Awesome burgers, fries unlike anyplace else, homemade shakes....done and done! read more

food was mediocre, would've been a better experience if the staff was a little more friendly. they made our order wrong and when we told them it was wrong they proceeded to catch an attitude. read more

Enjoyable, "epic" flavor! I had been hankering for a good juicy burger, and this one really hit the spot. I would have liked the fries a little crispier though, and the skinny choc shake was good but not sensational. But the burger is one of the best tasting ones I've had recently, and I'll definitely be back for another. read more

Epic Burger - Enjoyable, "epic" flavor -- a good juicy burger, that really hit the spot. - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Epic Burger? No. More like OK Burger. Their menu seems so simple--yet high-priced--that I almost walked back out, but then I noticed that they had fried eggs for the burgers and got back in line. I could have just as well kept walking. So I got the burger with blue cheese and egg. The cashier specifically asked me if I wanted the egg hard or over easy, and what's the point of a hard-cooked egg on a burger? No extra drippy-deliciousness, might as well leave it off. Anyway, my two add-ons drove the price over eight dollars. And it was a decent sandwich overall. I say "sandwich" because the burger itself was so thin it got lost in all the condiments and components. Oh yeah, and the egg was cooked hard. Sigh. I coulda just gone to M Burger and saved a couple of dollars. Or at least added fries or shake or something. Having said all that, I probably would try it again. read more

This is my first time at Epic Burger. I had the double burger eith cheddar cheese and fries to go with it. Burger was excellent, juicy and had that grill taste. Love burgers with real grill taste. Fries were decent not too crispy, just right. Recommended and will come back. One more thing... for those looking for halal food, this place has the halal certfiicate. djss out... read more

Greasy burgers and the fries are always overcooked at this location. The food doesn't come out hot and the service is only so-so. Over-hyped burger and location. Better off at Five Guys. read more

Great tasting burger. Try the epic sauce it great. You dont need ketchup on it. Fries were also great too.

This place was indeed epic. We all really loved this place. The buns and burgers were the freshest I've ever had outside of making my own at home though I don't make fresh buns!!! The place was clean and loved the upstairs part as well. read more

Was in Chicago Last summer on a sightseeing trip and came across Epic Burger after a long day of walking around the city. We couldn't agree on a place to eat so we came to the first food place we found and it happened to be Epic Burger. WOW I'm so glad we did. The food was FANTASTIC! A bit pricey but we soon found out it was because all of their food is Organic and All Natural. I had a classic epic burger with sea salt fries. Delicious. I cannot rave enough about this place, if I ever go back to Chicago, Epic Burger will definitely be on my list of places to visit. read more

100% best breakfast sandwich with Avocado I have ever had. How do you guys do it? This place was amazing. The manager ever came to my table to check and see how my meal was !! read more

This place is good. The place is very clean, the employees were cordial but slightly helpful. I would say the employees were the negative that knocks a star off the rating. They seemed to not care if you're there or not. The location is great, right in the heart of the Gold Coast. The food is very good. I would say that it is a good-tasting fast food place. In addition, the food is sourced from high-quality, environmentally-friendly ingredients/sources. I ordered a burger, smoothie and fries. Everything was very good. Thumbs up especially for the burger and fries. The smoothie was ok, but not excellent. read more

Anyone who doesn't like epic, simply doesn't understand the hamburger. Myself, I'm not a "massive meat" man. I don't need a three inch thick burger, but if that's you, just add a patty or two. I have eaten both the turkey and beef versions and have found them absolutely delicious, fries likewise. The burger is a nearly perfect culinary invention. Efforts to improve this dish, usually wind up as detractions. Now, I tell you, grilled onions, cheese, lettuce/tomato/pickle, and a fried egg with the "epic" sauce makes a savory, delicious, and satisfying burger. They want to please you. Build one however you like. If you like a gimmicky (and usually inferior) variation of the burger, don't come. read more

I'm a Loyola student & love coming here in between class. They're so fast & friendly. Eddie & Simmie are so kind and speedy. Never had a bad experience here & I doubt you will either read more

Epic Burger - Sweet potato fries & grilled cheese with a pickle - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My spot used to be M Burger... Not anymore. My burger was just like i asked for it to be done. Little bit of raw onions and extra grilled onions. Im a very happy customer. Service was at 10/10 felt welcomed and well treated at this location. Definetly going there again. I was so pleased i asked for their names. Ale, Daisy who took care of me very well and the guy who made my great burger Noah! Great job guys read more

Everyone always talks about Epic Burger, the best burger you can eat. I agree. I had a Halal Epic Burger for the first time back in summer of 2016. I was blown away with the first taste. There EPIC sauce goes really well with the burger lets just say match made in heaven. I love how they have many locations throughout Chicago and the suburbs. read more

Epic Burger - Epic Burger by the Lake... - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I returned after my nightmare of first experience (see review below) for breakfast. Very good. And I mean very, very good. Ordered the egg sandwich with bacon and cheddar, added tomato on wheat bun. Truly an epic breakfast sandwich. I know they are messing around with breakfast right now but they are on to something. However, I would like to see an option other than fries for a side. I understand it's a burger joint, but fries do not sound appealing when I am grabbing a meal before work at 8AM. The price is on point to. Sandwich and coffee for a little over $6. Compare that with McDonalds breakfast and you are paying a dollar more for a lot better food! I will be back for breakfast but still feel there are better places for burgers in this city, and still feel weird walking in there after my initial experience! read more

All natural beef caught my eyes. I tried epic burger and four berry smoothies. Definately enjoyed the burger - went there twice already. Berry smoothies is also great with frozen yogurt. I tried their skinny shake with choclate. it wasnt that good...maybe just shake will be better. read more

This is our favorite place to go during our lunch break at work. The workers here are so nice and always give great service! They are definitely on top of their game! I usually get the junior epic burger with cheese bacon and everything else on it. It's such a huge serving and it's so delicious! We come here atleast once a week! Definitely recommend this to people that like burgers! read more

Whole30 fans, rejoice! Epic burger is a fast casual joint that will satisfy your burger and fries cravings. I had the beef burger ($6.29/single patty; $7.79/double patty) on lettuce with all the veggies plus an egg ($0.99 extra) and bacon ($1.49 extra). The burger patties are antibiotic-free, midwestern grazed, and humanely raised. It's a no brainer. Grab a side of sweet potato fries ($2.79) to round out your meal. Fast, easy, and this location accepts Loyola University of Chicago Rambler Bucks. read more

There's nothing I enjoy more than a burger experience I can still enjoy as a vegetarian. Their portobello burger is out of this world and well worth the price. You can top it anyway you want it with stellar ingredients. The option of having a side salad versus the fries is also a nice touch, but come on, why are you there, gotta get the fries. The staff is super friendly and always caters to my needs. Quick, clean, and courteous. There's not much more you can ask for. read more

This place definitely fulfilled my craving for a awesome juicy burger! The horseradish havarti cheese and grilled onions complimented the burger well and the patty looked to be made by hand. It had that yummy juiciness to it that made it a little messy to eat and in my book means it's a good burger! Skip the salad and come here for a satisfying meal! read more

Epic Burger is pretty good. The ingredients taste fresh. I like all the options of toppings. I loved the fries! The strawberry milkshake was very good as well....but the straw they supplied with the shake was sooo small! The grilled onions were a little mushy, good flavor though. For being named "epic" burger, it was sub-par. read more

Visited this weekend. I personally had very friendly service. The place was very clean. Only my second time ever at an Epic Burger. First time at this specific location. My vote? Get the turkey burger, and do not forget the fries! The fries are great. I've had an Epic beef burger, but I really preferred the turkey burger. I got the junior with fries, and split it with a friend. Makes for a great, perfect portioned lunch. *Not a great spot if you're driving and need to park. Street parking is tricky in this areas.* read more

I had a last minute craving for a milkshake on my way to class, stopped in for fries and a few peanut butter shake to go. Definitely will be coming back and trying the light shakes! I had dinner already so I didn't have much room but it was so rich and I wonder if the light option is easier to digest. Love it though, can't wait to try their food and loved the atmosphere! read more

Epic Burger - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

(Note: When a reviewer makes the no. 1 point in their review an apparent miscommunication with the cashier, you know to read on.) The burgers here absolutely live up to the titular hyperlative adjective. They are filling, tasty, and made fresh to order. I recommend the Epic Burger with everything (and add some bacon). Burgers, fries, and drinks for two cost about $18, which was a great deal for this quality of food. The only thing that wasn't totally up to snuff was their fries, but the burger was SO delicious that I can overlook such a minor shortcoming. No line, no difficulty ordering, nice and fast, fresh and delicious. Excellent addition to the neighborhood. read more

I have been here twice now and tasted both the burger and chicken sandwich: The burger was very good, but somewhat more greasy than others (75/25 mix perhaps?) . Ordered with some great grilled onions and some thick cut bacon. The chicken sandwich was very good as well ; decent sized grilled breast. However, it was somewhat greasy as well. Not sure if they are dousing it in oil or butter when grilling. Needless to say, I will return as it has a very quick turn around for food, especially during lunch. read more

Hell yeah, adult sized ketchup packets! Try the turkey burger. 'Twas delish. read more

We happened to walk by this place so we decided to check it out. Great burger! Everything was fresh and the fries were tasty. The price wasn't too bad either. I was expecting it to be a little more expensive. I would definitely recommend this place if you are in the area. read more

The BEST Customer Service that you will find in Chicago. The Beyond Burger is my favorite to order but I will be returning for the service as well.

I have been hearing that I should try this place (granted I'm a Vegetarian, so this may not be a completely "accurate" review for those of you who eat meat). To be honest, when I walked in I was a little thrown by the system they have in place to order. There appeared to be a line - but it was pretty indistinguishable. When I walked up to the register the girl who took my order wasn't friendly in the least bit. She literally just barked options to me and stood there like I was a complete idiot when I had her repeat things. I tried my best to be polite and shrug it off. I made the mistake, apparently, by ordering grilled onions to top off my portobello burger (which is the only option for Vegetarians). The entire bun was soggy and not even 30 seconds into eating it, I noticed that there was no "Epic Sauce" though I had ordered it - yet, as you recall the girl who took my order appeared to be less than happy with her job - so maybe this was missed in translation. Overall - Epic Burger may be "Epic" for those in a hurry that need to grab something to eat during a shopping expedition w/friends or the average "joe" who only eats "American" fare, but in a city worthy of so many Burger options - Epic is not one of them. read more
