Ordered takeout and spent $40 on 3 sorry looking burgers & cold sweet potato fries (wrong sauce given for that too). They left off grilled onions on one burger, the condiments are ridiculously small, and they were so stingy with the sauce. Not worth it. & I won't be ordering from this location again. read more

Yo this place FALSE ADVERTISE. the picture shows real burger patty's. The crap you get serviced is not even a real patty I was so shocked and upset bc I was hangry and I thought I was getting an actual burger not a dissolved burger patty. They also got my whole order wrong sadly and it was wayyyyyy too greasy. I know way better quality places for the price they had. read more

just a place that overly charges for nonsense. burger over cooked one size drink so small I had to buy another drink on the way home. fries look so good in the pictures when you get them so bad I threw them out at the gas station to grab an extra drink from since the one before was a Dixie cup. never will I ever stop in again. read more

Epic Burger - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Very disappointed. Definitely not worth the price. Still hungry after my farmhouse burger...twelve bucks and it had one piece of bacon on it. My boyfriend ordered a double and got his burger with one patty, but of course was charged for the double. You'd honestly be better off taking ur money elsewhere. Pretty much just an overpriced whatever tasting burger. NOT worth it. read more

Epic Burger is a good alternative to McDonald's or Wendy's. I enjoy these burgers but they can be a tad greasy. They aren't as greasy as Five Guys though. really like the fries - sweet potato and the OG potatoes. I've tried a shake in the past and the lemon flavored one was really good. However, the restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. read more

Epic Burger not only met my needs but even superseded them. The selection of meats created a space for healthy and delicious choices. The sweet potato fries were divine when paired with their epic sauce. You could feel the expertise of the master behind the grill in each bite of your Epic Burger. Would I suggest this place to anyone? Absolutely, and I'd do it without a single question. read more

Idk what's been up with them lately order have been carelessly done. My order was missing a lot of items. No grilled onions or lettuce?!?! Also ordered a shake and received in their water cup.... if I pay $4.99 for a shake I expect it to be the right size. I can't even drive who there for them to correct it. read more

I ordered a grassfed burger with cheese and bacon. The difference between grassfed and non grassfed was clearly $6 on the menu. When I went to pay they had charged me $10 extra. The manager came over, they made a change and offered me a decrease of $1. I thought this experience represented poorly both on the manager and Victor, my server. read more

I've been here several times by now, and I haven't been disappointed yet. You get to build your whole burger - from the type of bun and meat, to all the toppings and accessories. First off, you pick your bun - white, wheat, or bunless. Then, you can choose from premium Black Angus beef, turkey, chicken, portobello, or the Beyond Burger vegetarian patty. The cheeses are all local from Wisconsin and include aged cheddar, horseradish havarti, and blue. Toppings include lettuce, tomato, pickle, grilled vs. raw onion, bacon, fried egg, and Epic sauce. I haven't picked a combination yet that let me down. Also, their sweet potato fries are excellent, especially with their honey mustard! The prices are very reasonable for a tasty burger with a plentiful side of fries and drink. And so far, the quality has been reliable. It takes about 10-15 minutes to get your burger. The service is generally friendly. Be prepared with a credit card though - they don't take cash! I'd definitely recommend this restaurant to friends in the neighborhood. read more

Just spent $176 dollars.,bought shakes for half off during happy hour and forgot to get one for one of the kids,went up after realizing we were one short asked if we could get an extra one and they said no! Wow, besides being too slow and having missing food we couldn't get a shake after spending so much. NEVER AGAIN WILL I PAY FOR A STOMACH ACHE AT EPIC BURGER , VERY DISAPPOINTED AND FRUSTRATED. NO I COULD NOW RETURN THE FOOD OR I WOULD HAVE. WILL NOT EVER RETURN TO EPIC BURGER, EVER . read more

Do not get me started on this place. I was super excited to try this place but was very disappointed. Service was all over the place and took a long time at the counter to place an order. I get it, people like to have fun where they work, but seems like a group of teens playing around in the back. No hair nets worn by anyone. I got my burger and there was a long back hair in my burger, which I understand, things happen. But this could have been easily avoided with a hair net. The guy in the back was laughing, and they offered a replacement, but completely lost my appetite. The burgers are not cheap, so this place is a train-wreck. The restaurant is not very clean, and sends red flags overall. I do not plan on returning. read more

This is a slightly above average burger (wish I could give 2.5) at a very high price point. To start, if you get the double burger with cheese and bacon, you end up at around $12. The burger is medium size (bigger than Shake Shack but smaller than most restaurant burgers), juicy, and not greasy. The flavor is good but not spectacular. It reminded me a little of Culver's to be honest. It may have been better with more of the Epic Sauce on it. This would have been rated higher if it wasn't in Chicago. There are so many great burger places around here at the same price point that taste way bettter. You can get a burger from Small Cheval (with bacon) at the same price. Their burger is roughly 3x better and I would recommend going there any day of the week. Overall - try it out and see what you think. There's nothing bad about the burger here but nothing spectacular either. read more

Worst place ever. Can't even get a burger right. They charged me for all extras but gave me a "burger" with only lettuce and the patties. Called to complaint and the "manager" claimed she had made them herself and that the order couldn't have been wrong. She had an attitude and asked to bring them up as proof because I was lying and then proceeded to hang up. Just put of principals I walked their "food" back to their place. They continue to deny it and gave me attitude. WORST PLACE EVER read more

Fast food burger or not fast food burger ? Being extremely picky with my burgers, I generally prefer the 1/2 lb, medium, medium rare burgers you generally find at steak houses and skip the fast food. Epic burger however is anything but a fast food burger however. They flatten the meat, charring the edges to a crisp. Threw in some epic sauce, grilled onions, egg (if you're hungry), havarti, double up the patty and you got a gourmet tasting burger. Best of all, they use creekstone farms so it's halal which has been a big hit in the Muslim community giving us a good tasting halal burger you don't have to grill yourself, finally ! The fries go great with the burger, fresh cut, never frozen. Now only if they opened one up in the western suburbs, I'd be 100 lbs heavier but also 100 times happier. Go hear and no where else for a fast food burger. Trust me. read more

Haven't been to an Epic Burger for a couple of years but had always liked it in the past, but this recent visit combined poor service and poor value with mediocre food, and we won't be back. There was nobody in line, yet we waited for our orders to be taken. Personnel seem to prioritize the orders coming in through places like DoorDash over live customers. Of the 4 orders, 2 were incorrect (my husband's food came out when everyone else was pretty much done eating). Sweet potato fries were cold and a little soggy. Shakes were runny and kinda flavorless. All this for more than $80, which is really steep for a glorified fast-food restaurant. And the women's bathroom was gnarly. Burgers were decent, but that was overshadowed by everything else. Not going back, will opt for Devil Dawg's in the future. read more

One of the best tasting burgers I've had. Clean, fast, nice service. They noted that their beef and grilled chicken is halal at this location read more

As a Loyola student, I love Epic Burger. It is right across the street from my campus and is my go to lunch spot. The service is always great and I have never had a bad experience with my good. Their burgers are one of the best I have ever had, and there shakes are second to none. read more

Burger meat was solid, but the buns were cold. It seems they didn't take any time to warm or toast the buns. The major complaint I have is that we ordered fries with our burgers, and the fries never came out. The worker later acknowledged that the fries were missing, and said they would be brought out, but they never brought out the fries. I then went up again to remind them of the fries and they still didn't bring them out. I would not recommend coming to this location, given the service. read more

Literally gave me a stomachache. Mediocre food. Staff were helpful, but it didn't show all the food they had available on the board inside.

The beyond burger was so good! Life is great whenever I'm at epics! The Nutella shake is also a must! You can't go wrong with anything but if you try the beyond, you'll be delighted! read more

We liked the food. Their cheeseburger was delicious. They have few branches in Chicagoland. We visited the one on S. State Street. read more

They're a local Chicago burger joint with a few locations. They emphasize freshness and simplicity. You order up front and customize your burger how you want it. The burger was indeed epic and filling. It was greasy and dripping with juices. Is it better than In-N-Out? No, but to each their own. I'm biased but I love my local In-N-Out. Their fries are pretty good here but on the greasy side. I like my burgers with a fried egg and added that option. A good greasy burger with a fried egg on top is something I will never say no to in my life. The restaurant itself is clean and well laid out. It's a pretty burger for what you get. Maybe on the pricy side. read more

Epic Burger - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Suggestions for alternative titles to Epic Burger: "Slightly Above Average Burger" "Cool Interior to Justify the High Price Burger" "Someone Let The Secret Sauce Out of the Bag Burger" "Trying Hard But Falling Short of Being Gourmet Burger" "Five Dollars More than Five Guys Burger" I could think of more, but here is the low-down. It's not bad by any means. There are some unique things you can add to the burger. It is however greasy as all hell, so if your stomach has a rough time with greasy things you should avoid it. It *is* over priced. If you are charging over $10 for a burger and fries the patty should be thick and you should be able to specify how you like it cooked. Fries were kinda soggy. Interior is cool. I'd go back if I was in the area, but it's no epic in my opinion. read more

Epic Burger - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I guess I could say epically pointless? I don't want to be like the rest.. there are a number of reviews that have already played the "Epic Fail" card. Really, it's gotten old, try something else please. Overrated, over priced and pretty boring on taste. A better burger is waiting at the Counter. I wish they could have made the egg to order, my way.. sunny side up. Yes, I do realize it will run all over my burger, but that's the point. For a effing awesome, sunny side up burger, check it out at IHOP. It's pretty bangin' and half the cost of a Epic burger. The salad dressing sauce which is "their" sauce.. woO.. not that awesome, made me and my buddy ill. Wonder if there is some lactose in it? Hmm. Asked for cheese, cheddar perhaps. The menu states it's from Wisconsin. Except, the cheese was plastic like and kind of runny. I have Wisconsin cheese at home and it's awesome. WTF? Why did I trek down to the city for this burger? This plain tasting burger, could no one add any spices or herbs to the meat? I guess I should have also gotten a milkshake.. but, after the poor performance, just didn't care for one. The décor here would jazzercise any student that's grownup on Barney and Teletubbies. The seats are great for a kids play room, plastic, fun looking, bendable and uncomfortable. Two TVs constantly running either current sports or a live Twitter feed of customer compliments on Epic burger. read more

Epic Burger - Cheddar and supposed to have a sunny side egg, oh well. - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I love the idea--"clean" burgers and fries--and the execution is successful at a basic level, but some of the details really bother me. For example, despite all the green aspects of this restaurant, they display their menu board on plasma screen monitors; that has to eat up a lot of juice. The burger was great; I noticed that they don't ask you how to cook it, but it came out just right for me. I asked for easy on the sauce, and it probably was, but between it and the meat juices, the sandwich got a little drippy. However, with cheddar and grilled onions on a whole wheat bun, the whole thing was near perfect. The fries, however, were not. They were cold and hard. Clean or not, fries are bad for you. I would prefer that they taste really good as an offset. The ketchup is Heinz Organic. After squeezing and shaking the plastic bottle for a few moments, I removed the cap and discovered that it was a brand-new bottle with the seal still on. [Sigh] Just one of those details, much like the corn-plastic fork which did not survive the meal. Halfway through, one tine had snapped off; by the end, two others were bent at the tips. All I was doing was jagging the fries. It took them ten minutes to make it, but they serve a pretty good chocolate-malt milkshake. Perhaps a tad bit too much malt and a tad bit too little chocolate. But thick and delicious just the way I like it. The first two songs that I heard were "I Want You" by Elvis Costello and "Ring of Fire," and they were also playing IFC movies. They have plenty of space, but my table was beyond wobbly. $10 for the combo is reasonable. I will definitely come back if I'm near the library and looking for lunch. I just wish that they could clean up some of the rough edges. read more

Way overpriced. They no longer have homemade french fries. Fries served were frozen fries that any fast food place would have. Bun was also a bit stale. read more

Being a burger fanatic, it was only right and a matter of time that Epic Burger and myself became acquainted. Stopped in today for lunch and noticed there are 7 Epic rules on the wall once you get near the register. I am usually good @ following rules so I read them and proceeded to the register to order. I asked the 2 cool brothers behind the counter what would they recommend and they told me "the Epic Burger combo". They also told me I could add toppings such as a fried egg and bacon. I definitely added the bacon & eggs along with cheddar cheese (other options were blue cheese and something else). I also had the option of wheat and white bread...I chose wheat. The combo came with fries and a drink which came out to $12. The burger itself was pretty good, but because I had everything you can think of on the thing, it was hard to hold it together so I had to take huge bites. I'm glad I am not a student @ Depaul, Robert Morris, Columbia, Roosevelt, Art Institute or even John Marshall Law School because I would probably frequent this place quite often. Good stuff Epic Burger! read more

Visited this place today after going to the Harold Washington Library, which is a stone's throw down State Street. I thought it was okay, but "epic" might be a slightly overblown descriptor. We (being myself and a friend) were there for a late lunch-early dinner (4-something), and since it was rainy it was pretty quiet. I got a combo with burger with grilled onions (a nice option; you can also get raw) and a side of the "Epic sauce" (which I ended up being glad I got on the side; it was mayo-based and full of relish -- eww), fries, and a peanut butter shake. This ran me roughtly $10. The burger was decently cooked (had a nice crispiness from the grill on the outside), but was lacking in essential seasoning (hello, s&p? where are you?); they also don't ask you how much you want your burger done. The grilled onions were good, though. I don't normally go for squishier fries, which these were, but whatever they were cooked in made them taste good, and leaving the skins on was also a good thing (and I'm not always a fan of that method). The big win of the meal, though, hands down, was the PB shake. It was on the thin side, so you didn't burst a blood vessel in your brain trying to suck it through the straw, with an amazing complexity to the flavor (it didn't just taste like Jif + Haagen Daz + blender). I would definitely go back for this. The girl at the counter was a little pushy when I didn't know what I wanted (I had never been there before, and there was not a line behind me; give me a second!) The place is mod-ly decorated with a predominantly orange-brown-and-beige theme that shoots me straight back to my childhood late '70s-era home. Tables along the walls are smaller, for one or two diners, with larger ones in the middle for groups or communal dining; all have modular orange chairs that squidge weirdly on the probably recycled flooring. Dueling flat screens were showing "The Blue Dahlia" on Turner Classic Movies and some documentary on Isaac Mizrahi. A plus is the organic factor, even down to the "Greenware" cups and cutlery, supposedly somehow made of corn. Would Odysseus have crossed oceans for these burgers? Perhaps not. But I know I'd battle a Cyclops for another peanut butter shake. read more

The place was clean bathroom not so much the cashier who took care of us Guadalupe was great very attentive we try the wings they were very big but good! read more

I have to say I love the logo and decor! Eco-Friendly is a plus also. They had Greenware cups which are 100% corn based. I ordered an all natural chicken sandwich on a whole wheat bun with raw onions, harvati cheese and all the fixings. Over all I think it felt a little expensive. $10 for a combo. I didn't get the combo and decided to go with a smoothie instead, which was great! Great, fast, friendly service, and excellent food! I can see this place getting packed during the school year since its located inside the big dorm. I can see myself going back. read more

I decided to stop by Epic Burger for their first day of business. I had heard about them in the Columbia Chronicle back in march, and being a fan of burgers, I just had to try it out. When I got there around 6, there was a small line of ten people or so in front of me. I had to wait a few minutes before I got to the front. The interior is nice; there are around 20 tables or so with half being occupied. This portion of service was great, the employees were helpful and cheery. I ordered my double "epic burger" and a strawberry milkshake without much hassle. At Epic, the order station and the pick up station are separate. If you order in, the employees will bring your order to your table, which is a nice touch. If you order out, you wait by the pick up station, which is also the station where they make the smoothies and shakes. You get to watch your shake/smoothie being made, which is great. They use fresh fruit, although they were out of strawberries after they made my milkshake. They also happened to run out of lids for the cups. I got my milkshake in ten minutes and my burger was ready in 15. You can actually see into the kitchen area where they make the food. It seemed chaotic, which I assume will get better as time progresses. Enough of the preliminaries, let's get to the food. The milkshake was great and I have no complaints. The double Epic burger was truly epic. It's huge. At times I felt as though the burger would fall apart, but the whole wheat bun did a good job of holding it together. The meat was fantastic, and you can actually get an (cage-free organic) egg to go on top of the burger, which I did. They also put "epic sauce" on the burger, but you can get it on the side too. The epic sauce kinda tastes like dijon IMO, but can;t really tell for sure. It complemented the burger nicely. Epic Burger prides itself on fresh ingredients every step of the way, and time will tell whether consumers will embrace it and the slightly higher prices that come along with it, but the burger and the shakes are solid, and the minor service issues will be sorted out over time. I look forward to trying out their other smoothies and their fries. read more

Okay, if I didn't love the Turkey burger here so much, I'd bail on this place. Level Up payment system down AGAIN, and the WiFi in here is never good. Cash only is a pain in the ass for someone who doesn't carry around a lot of cash. Also, it's sort of a crapshoot if your order is going to come back correctly. Went in here today, ordered my customary Turkey burger. Very simple. White bun, nothing but lettuce and pickle on it. What I got, was a Turkey burger with Pepper Jack cheese, and grilled onions . . . thankfully my lettuce and pickle was also on there. But, really. It even had my correct order on the receipt. So, I got bonus cheese, not really a BAD thing. But . . . everything else being equal, I'd like my burger the way I order it. Guys, seriously . . . pull it together. The place is delightful, and the burgers are delicious, but please. Modernists pay attention to details! read more

"Epic" in our lexicon or at least that of the Internet is defined as the ultimate or best ever, combine that word with the most American of all foods "Burger" and you have my interest. The problem comes when the food doesn't live up to the title. Not that Epic Burger is bad, it's actually good and the Epic Sauce might even be great but it isn't the best. It's not as good as a Five Guys burger. If I had to compare it to anything it would be a Hardees burger with more options. You could even put a fried egg on top of your burger, if one was so inclined. Two cheeseburgers, two regular (and very plain) fries and two fountain pops (yeah I said pop, so what?) ran us over $20. I don't mind paying $20 for lunch, fast food or otherwise but if I can get the same quality of meal for $5 less I will. Epic Burger? No Epic Fail? No Epic Mediocrity? Maybe read more

Epic Burger - Epic (?) Burger - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I looked at all the mixed reviews before coming here and tried not to take too much of it to heart. I wanted to give Epic Burger a fair shake. As it turns out, I actually like it. I had the epic burger with the havarti cheese. The burger was delicious --- juicy - although a little bit greasy. Then again, it's a burger for pete's sake and not a salad. I loved the bun - nice and soft - and buttered to perfection. (Not like I needed the extra butter!) If you like McDonald's fries, you probably won't like these fries. Me? I liked 'em. Real potatoes. What a concept! (I still like McDonad's fries though.) The only negative to me is that the meals here are high in calories, which means that I have to get my butt on regular workout regimen ASAP if I want to eat there without the guilt. It tastes good It's in my hood And so I will be back for more! read more

JUICY. That's the one word I would use to describe the burgers at Epic Burger. I wasn't expecting a whole lot, I heard from word of mouth that the burgers were just "okay." But my friend took me here and it was pretty damn good. I ordered the Epic burger with horseradish havarti cheese with grilled onionons, yum. The bun was sweet, not too flimsy where the bun gets all soggy but perfectly snug with the large juicy burger. The tomato/lettuce/pickle were fresh and the fries we ordered were also very fresh, it was like they went in back and cut them from a fresh tapatoes. The burger with cheese, fries and a drink will set you back around $10+. Not bad for what its worth. I'll definitely be back, this time I will order my burger with cheddar cheese and a fried egg on top, I hear that's the way to go. I'd honestly have to rank this burger up there with Rockit Bar and Grill, Kuma's and In N Out. Good Job Epic Burger. read more
