I had a surprisingly bad experience here on Saturday for lunch. My bread was super hard. The food wasn't good.

I've been hearing about this place for years and finally tried it while I was at a conference near by and wanted a quick lunch. I got the build your own burger with some added topics and the Parmesan fries. The fries were SO GOOD. The burger was good as well, nothing out of the ordinary but overall a solid burger. Service was average - I had ordered jalapeños as an extra topping on my burger and they forgot them. The girl taking our order wasn't very friendly and didn't seem to be paying attention so they mistake wasn't surprising. Would recommend for the food but maintain expectations for service. The place has chill vibes, it's clean and simple. read more

Epic Burger - Parmesan fries and build your own burger - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I tried a burger at the Chicago burgerfest. The burger was alright compared to the other burgers I had. The condiments and toppings stood out over the beef patty. The caramelized onions was a nice touch. The quality of the pattty did not seem as great. There was some good flavors working together to make a decent burger. Difficult to make an accurate review because you can probably get a better burger with more selections at the actual location. read more

I don't know why this place gets all the hate. Every time I come in here, the service is great and the food is made fresh. Their hot chicken, grilled chicken, and Turkey Burger are all equally good. There's almost half an avocado on the chicken sandwich. The shakes are also really good and the whipped cream is real cream that's not too sweet. It never takes more than 5-10 minutes to get my food and it's made to order. read more

Excellent service by Brianna, Tim and Von and they were patient with my somewhat large order. Clean environment, and nice music!

We ordered the Epic turkey burger. Initially it tasted great, but felt it was a bit greasy with maybe had a stale beefy flavor. Also, had the lenten special fish sandwich which was pretty good but not the best value for over $11 compared to other fast food restaurants. I wish they had this had this on the menu all year long and it was a couple of dollar cheaper. The fries were not very good. Overall, we were a little disappointed with the food. The interior looks dated already and the chairs and booths are really uncomfortable. However, the staff were really nice. read more

Definitely the most over priced burger. Took to long at window. They almost forgot my drink. 2 bites in my bottom bun had fallen apart. 20.36 for a double and fri. Come on!!!! read more

Okay, I must admit I came here for their 10th anniversary special and the .10 cent burgers. My bill should have been $12.58 plus tax for 2 Epic Cheeseburgers, but, my total was only.22 cents including tax. We got our two Epic Cheeseburgers to go, and I did not find the cheeseburgers to be greasy at all. Perhaps, because they had a chance to sit and relax. I love that their buns are baked daily, the beef is all natural, halal-certified Creekstone Farms premium black angus. Our cheeseburgers were tasty and had a great smoky flavour. Really filling and I especially like the tangy epic sauce. A single pattie burger is $6.29 and a double pattie burger is $7.79, comparable to similar burger restaurants. We came in very late, twenty minutes before closing time. The employee behind the counter was surprisingly friendly and cheerful after a long day of people coming in and out for their 10th anniversary. The service was very fast considering it was the end of the day. As someone else commented, I found the floor in the dining area to be a little too slippery. Is it because the grease gets on the floor or they clean it too often and leave soap on the floor. The thing that I found really weird, is that they do not take cash, they only accept plastic. For a fast, filling meal, head into Epic Burger. read more

First timer! We actually came into town for the Chicago taste fest, ventured off and found ourselves here! The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed but they were helpful & patient. Great place to go for a good burger and fries! They have 3 bun options, choose your protein (turkey burger, veggie burger, chicken breast, beef, etc.) and add all your fixings. Avocado and bacon are extra. Regular fries were great but they also offer sweet potato fries. I believe they have Milk shakes too. The soda machine was kicking out colored carbonated water, but I'm sure they needed to do whatever one does to make it start tasting like pop again. I would recommend this spot. read more

When I say this, I say this with love, my god was that a greasy burger. Not really a compliment, but really not a complaint either. Our first day here and we were in need of some food once we were settled in at our hotel. We did a quick search of the area and decided we wanted to try some burgers and happened upon this place. I like the setup of this place, order your food at the counter, take a number and have a seat. Also, it's a simple menu, nothing fancy here, and I kind of expected that from a burger joint. I had myself a simple cheeseburger, which is referred to here as an epic burger. I had the basic toppings: lettuce, onions, pickles and their "epic sauce." The sauce had basically a tangy kick to it. I also go myself an order of fries and bottled water. I give them props because this is all freshly made. Even the bun is toasted before everything is added. But as I had said, it was greasy. The plate it came in had a nice puddle of grease on it and I went through about a tree's worth of napkins. The fries were amazing and they had organic ketchup which meant I could actually enjoy some. As for the price, it's a bit steep for a burger and fries. Speaking of price, they do not accept cash, so bring your cards. read more

I always stop in there everytime I work in the area, on my last visit i walk up to the counter and was about to order and the person at the counter pointed his finger at me and And said just one minute then took phone call. When it was time to take my order he didnt ask me what I wanted on my burger gave my receipt and walk off, as i was waiting on my food he was talking to the workers a harshly in my opinion and i can tell by theif faces they didnt like it. I wasn't happy with my service at all. read more

Epic was so good I ate here two days in a row. Ordering is quick, with the handy guide at the register. I grabbed my number and plopped down at the table. It felt like a matter of moments and the friendly team was sliding my order onto my table. The appearance of the food was beautiful. The smells immediately hit my nose with a wave of joy. I spun the burger around to reveal two beautifully cookies patties topped with avocado, lettuce, and havarti cheese. The burger was juicy and delicious. Make sure to grab extra napkins before you start. This thing tasted so good I didn't set it down. I ate the whole thing before moving on to the perfectly cooked and seasoned skin on fries. As a walked out my belly was full of a great burger. I had to come back the next day to try the same burger with bacon. I highly recommend that combo. It was so delicious. read more

I was very pleasantly surprised by this place, mostly because of the service. I got the beyond burger with grilled onion and avocado, and a side of sweet potato. The taste good, the typical great taste with the beyond meat and the components of the burger were also fresh and balance. The sweet potato was okay. The server was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, very helpful and knew their menu very well and made the whole thing pleasant. read more

Epic Burger - Beyond burger on brioche with sweet potato fries - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Ok, someone has to have the worst burgers in Chicago. And someone has to have the worst service in Chicago. So I guess it's good to have both in the same place. First off, I ordered and they said they would bring it out. 10 minutes later I went to check, and they had it sitting up there waiting for GrubHub. Then I had to remind them that I ordered a milk shake too. Got the burger and the fact that it was luke warm because of the delay didn't matter, because it was bad. Basically overcooked shoe leather. The milk shake was decent. Not great but better than DQ. read more

Came to hang out with some friends Friday night. Had a ball. Got a double cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, onions comes with 2 pickles and tomatoes. Got my burger without epic sauce. Got fries. They were crisp and salted appropriately. I like the potatoes they use. Also got a Nutella shake. Nice and sweet. read more

What exactly makes this place "epic"? It's not the food. That's just meh. Must be the price. Yeah, that's epic for a basic hamburger that I can get for half the price at Steak and Shake. They don't even have grilled chicken sandwich option or Impossible- just the Beyond, which is also not at all epic. Went there years ago and was excited about the Epic. No. Went there today because my husband wanted it, and again, meh. read more

I went to eat here after a very long day. I ordered a Cowboy Burger and a Large Drink. I was dining in and after a while they brought me my burger. The worker forgot my drink, but that was no big deal. When she gave me my drink, she gave me a small cup. I reminded the worker that I had a Large Drink. Turns out they were out of Large cups. The worker asks who I assume was the manager if they have any more large cups. The manager immediately with an attitude tells the worker no, he then asks her "Is he not eating here?" and then tells me "well there's free refills." I was not angry at the fact that they had no large cups, I was angry at the attitude the manager had and the way he handled the problem by not handling at all. The Large Drink is not much more than the small drink but it is an inconvenience since I was sold the Large drink. This completely ruined my meal. The manager needs to work on his management skills. The worker even seemed nervous to ask him the question. I was extremely unsatisfied with the service here. read more

The burger here is really good but be aware that not everything is halal! There are visible halal signs in the restaurant, so you would assume that everything is halal or would be stated otherwise, but I learned that wasn't the case. After I placed my order for the epic burger with bacon, I asked to confirm the halal status(which I usually do, especially if there's no signs present) and the cashier told me the bacon was not halal. Firstly, I wear full hijab so I'm visibly Muslim.... shouldn't the employees warn you that you're ordering something that's not halal, especially since they advertise that they do serve halal?! Plus, Chicago is an area that's super diverse, every one knows the basics of each other's religions. Second, why would there not be anything noted on the menu, saying this item is not halal? Or at least put a halal sign next to the items that are, so we can know! I was really upset with that. Imagine how many people haven't asked, because they have signs that say halal! I hope this review alerts management to reconsider how they advertise their halal items. Besides that, the Nutella shakes and the burger were good but way overpriced and everything you add to your burger, has an upcharge. I paid 33 bucks for one burger, 2 shakes, a bottled drink and fries. read more

I picked an excellent burger for "National Hamburger Day." The appropriately titled "Epic Burger" was delicious from the top half to the bottom half of the buttered brioche bun. The burger was one of the juiciest "well done" burgers I've ever had. The aged cheddar added a smoky component to the production, and the tangy epic sauce was the perfect finisher (the veggie garnishments were standard but still memorable). The fries were plain but crispy and flavorful -- there was no way they'd outshine the burger. The bar was set too high. I've found a new "quick burger" spot in the Loop, and I can't wait to go back. read more

We went to Epic for a quick evening meal and we were delighted. Their veggie burger option was perfect. The food was served quick as well. For the buns, you have an option of white or wheat and the sides can be either fries, salad or veggies. The bun was toasted perfectly and the veggie patty was cooked well with cheese on top. The condiments on the side were a delight and the entire burger was a good wholesome meal. I also had the lemonade to go along and it complimented the meal well. They have pre-made cookies that can be a fitting dessert. I will visit Epic when I visit Chicago again. read more

With the motto of "A More Mindful Burger," I envisioned some meat substitute being erroneously called a burger. I also imagined my fatness being sad while I attempted to smash some science experiment passed my taste buds. What I actually received was so much better! This place definitely earned the manta of "Epic Burger." I was fresh off covering the first day of the NFL Draft in Chicago, IL, and after being around so much testosterone, tapas will not due! You need something filling and you need something All American in nature, since I just finished covering American football. I was strolling down many unfamiliar streets and came across a place that had two words of mystery and wonder on their moniker, Epic and Burger. Well, what is more American than a hamburger combo? Now it is not lost on me that the hamburger is probably a German invention named after Hamburg, Germany, it truly is not, but I am sure the way we tweaked the item makes it quite American! I walked closer to the door and terms like "humanely raised" and "caged free" made me feel as though I let America down with meat substitutes for this omnivore with tendencies that leans towards carnivore! Ready about freshly baked bread is never a bad thing, but for some reason, when you start tinkering with meat, I just get nervous about the product! They were advertising nitrate free this, cheese from Wisconsin that, organic milk whatever. Wait, isn't milk organic anyway? I digress! I decided to walk pass the doors and at least smell the place. When you walk in, you are certain that there is actual meat in the place. You cannot step far into this place without noticing several good write-ups from various media outlets about this place. I was not drinking the Kool-Aid, so I was definitely going to be unbiased in my tasting. I was not sure what to get, so a quick look at the menu let me know two things, with the first being, this place is pricey. The second thing being that they keep a small menu, which means that you have the potential to get tasty food and not filler items to make up for lack of taste. I was uncertain what I should try, so I went with the manager's suggestion and got a cheeseburger fully dressed, with egg, and the same with a turkey burger but with cheese and an avocado slice. Can have a grain fed, all natural beef burger make a difference in taste and texture? I am happy to report that it does. The meat does not have quite the rubbery feel you get from eating burgers that has plenty of fillers inside. The taste is almost sweeter to the palette as well. You definitely feel the difference in the freshly baked bread as well. They use real butter on the bread, so that was a great treat, but I think the real star of the night for me was the sauce. I enjoyed the fact that my beef and turkey were not only juicy, but also spiced well, but something about that sauce sat right with me. I appreciated that the fries were texturally very sound and season quite well also, but if I had the sauce for my burger to dip my fries into, I would like them much better. I must admit that they options they have for your burger, such as Wisconsin cheese, avocado slices and caged free eggs, blend really well with your main dish. They keep the add-ons low because they know they have a quality product that does not need the taste of inferiority masked. All in all, this expensive meal was worth doing at least once. I opted to get a fountain drink because I want to have an excuse to come back and try one of those organic milk shakes along with a chicken sandwich that time! If you look at the menu, they even have vegetarian options which include a mushroom burger and freshly made real fruit smoothies. You can even get your burger without a bun if need be. They have all types of customizations for your preferences and enjoyment. Make sure you ask about cross contamination from peanuts, if nut allergies are in your DNA, because they do use fresh ingredients all around, and not only with the meat and buns. They have multiple discounts which includes students and law enforcement, so they definitely have an added bonus for doing so. You know I am a fan of loyalty card programs, and this place definitely does have that. They also are a BYOB establishment, but there are some beers that they don't allow on premises, so contact them, or their website for those exceptions. There is also an email list, so I am sure that will provide you with even further discounts. I normally would allow for a burger chain to only get 3 out of 5 stars, but I feel confident giving them an extra star for all of the healthy options that you are presented. You can actually check their napkins for further explanation of the many healthy options you have. Dinner at Epic Burger is fat man approved, but definitely not frugal meter approved! The sauce though - the end! http://tinyurl.com/qe6tfme read more

Halal burger chain all over Chicago- we couldn't resist. However for a place called "Epic" burger, I really thought there would be some unique options to top your burger with but other than the egg option, there wasn't much. Place was spacious and the food came out quick so that was a plus. The burgers seemed quite pricey especially when you add on items which were about $1 each. read more

Lots of seating for a quick lunch. Kind of pricey but expected because of the non-go, organic, good stuff here. I went with an Epic Classic burger with bacon---no onions, no tomatoes. It was delicious. Epic sauce reminds me of the sauce from Cane's chicken. The wheat bun tasted fresh and the fries were fresh cut. I loved loved loved the fries. The ketchup at the tables are also GMO free! All natural ketchup! #winning Good for groups. Good for a solo lunch. read more

Epic Disappointment! The restaurant's name and "pub burger" reference had me expecting so much more. Although the burgers did look pub-like, the meat was dry, unseasoned and full of gristle (tiny white remnants of connective tissue like ligaments) in every bite. It's not typically found in quality burgers. I didn't realize this is just another fast food burger... probably because of the branding and its $10 price for a double. No, thanks... never again! read more

Food: I ordered the Epic burger with a fried egg and bacon. Unfortunately or fortunately, they forgot the bacon. I guess health wise, it was good to skip the bacon. :) It was a very decent burger, but far from epic. I will have to come back again to try their other burgers. I liked that they are advertised as "a more mindful burger". Their ingredients are all natural and non-processed. I like that. Service: My order was a carry-out order. I was given a number and my order was brought out pretty quickly. There was no problem with the service here. Location: It is very conveniently located in the Loop, very close to any of the train lines. read more

Rating: 3.25...

Food: make your own burger.. -Epic Burger: I ordered the Epic burger with cheddar cheese (additional 89 or 79 cents charge for cheese), epic sauce, lettuce on wheat bun...the burger tasted like a regular burger and the junior size was perfect for me as I wasn't too hungry..the wheat bun tasted good...the portion left my stomach content....nothing too amazing stood out about the taste of the burger.. Service: good..no complaints, but didn't really have any interaction with the employees after ordering the food.. Atmosphere: good to come with friends...family friendly.. Parking: street parking is available Cost: $4.99 for the junior size burger and additional charge if you add cheese and other ingredients.. no charge additionals are lettuce, tomatoes, etc (the basics).....not sure if it's worth the cost of the burger?... maybe i'm just not a big burger eater.. seems like nowadays.. burgers costs around $10 or more... wouldn't necessarily crave the burger or anything, but i would go again just to grab a burger.. why not?.. read more

Epic Burger - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Cooling my heels on a frosty downtown Chicago day, I bumped into Epic Burger, started in 2008 and now with eight Chicagoland locations. A straightforward, simplified menu, namely, a burger, a chicken sammie, turkey burger, portobello burger, fries, salad, snakes and fountain drinks, period. The emphasis is on quality ingredients, humanely raised, hormone free, and their beef supplier is Creekstone Farms of Kansas, which I personally believe now deserves the crown of the best burger supplier in America, bar none. You can add a choice of three different Wisconsin cheeses to your patty, nitrate free bacon, and condiments of your choice. Fresh cut thick fries with sea salt are available solo or in a combo. Buns are baked fresh daily, the establishment uses real butter, cage free eggs, and the burger produce tastes like you grew it yourself. The patties are amply-sized, have a nice little char crust and are obviously (note pic) hand-formed. This is a real winner, as evidenced not only by my smile and warm belly, but by the company's acceptance leading to its growth. Great burger, great fries, great value. Try one. Or a double. Daily. read more

This has to be one of the most poorly managed establishments I've been to. I came in on a Sunday around noon. I ordered the cowboy burger, and then the garlic parm fries, but I was told that they were out of the garlic parm fries. Then I ordered a chocolate shake, and I was told they were out of milk. Then I asked about a fountain drink, and I was told that their machine isn't working. At that point, I just said never mind, I won't be eating there.
