    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

    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

    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

    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!
    Susan W.

    I've lived in Chicago for 8 years and this was my first visit to an Epic Burger and I'm so sad I waited this long. The space was nice and there were tables outside as well. We were helped promptly and I liked seeing the food being cooked right there on the flat top. Our cashier was very friendly and we waited just a couple minutes for our food. The food was absolutely delicious! Fresh and well cooked. The sweet potato waffle fries were nice and crispy and well salted. Prices are very reasonable and I'm going to make this part of my regular rotation. Definitely a great burger!

    Not worth the price. Fries soft, to heavy on sauces, and buns are hard. 2 kids and 2 adults 1 drink. $73.00 for lunch.

Because no way did we eat at the same place. WOW! It's only been a handful of times that I've had the urge to write a review while I'm still eating because of how amazing the experience is. The ambiance is bustling and will FOR SURE keep you awake as you fill your belly. And the burger? It's not just a burger, it's culinary art and a full on flavor experience. I was full well before my plate was empty, but I simply could not imagine reheating any part of it later. The egg was cooked to sunny-side perfection, and every bite was ridiculous. It's bar-style, so the fries came out first, hot and paired with a garlic aioli that absolutely did what it needed to do. Everyone moves with purpose. The food, the service, the atmosphere--this place is a well-oiled machine of greatness. 1000/10. Will absolutely be back.

Not a huge inside seating area, but it is nice to sit outside on a nice day. We got the single cheeseburger with egg, the double cheeseburger with egg, the fried bologna sandwich with egg, crispy fries and the crispy potato hash! The single is a double patty and the double is a triple. The burgers were deliciously cooked and very hearty! Root beer compliments the burgers well! The crispy fries with the garlic aioli and mornay sauce were very yummy! The crispy potato hash was probably the lowlight of this meal... love the crispy-ness of the hash, didn't love the gravy. Service overall was okay, they were busy so it got slow once our food arrived. It does get loud inside so be prepared. Au Cheval lives up to the hype! We will totally go back for the burgers, crispy fries and root beer!

The Little Bad Wolf isn't just a story... it's a phenom dot com restaurant that you NEED to visit! My family and I visited after a Saturday Cubs game and luckily, there were still a handful of tables available and we were promptly seated. The staff were super friendly and provided excellent service! Almost everyone at our table ordered the Wolf Burger after hearing my sister and her husband rave about it. When our orders came to the table, we were all PLEASANTLY surprised at how beautifully stacked and dressed our burgers were. A triple stack of patties, topped with cheese, bacon, a fried egg, crispy onions, and housemade pickles?! That's a recipe for delicious success right there! The Wolf Burger was indeed SCRUMPTIOUS! My goodness, I am still thinking about it two whole days later and how I can't wait to revisit this restaurant and try some more of their menu items. An honorable mention goes out to the delicious fries on the side!! They were the perfect cut, well-seasoned, and out-of-this-world. I HIGHLY recommend Little Bad Wolf to all folks looking for a delicious experience! The burger is sensational, the environment is impeccable, and this is a great spot if you're going on a date or out with friends.
