    First time here the burger and fries was okay don't don't think my sister liked the wings but the shake and fried Oreos was good. This place seemed kind of overhyped.

    Yeoooo! Patties on top of Patties!! Fat Shack did not disappoint! There's nothing better than a big juicy burger and a creamy shake. I had no idea what I was in for but WOW did they deliver! SMASH the: - Supreme Burger w/Bacon - Onion Rings - Philly Cheesesteak - Vanilla Shake - Fat Cow - Deep Fried Oreos Make sure you come with an empty stomach because you'll want it all!

    This restaurant has everything! Sandwiches, desserts, drinks, and sides! The sandwiches are fat, flavorful, and packed with toppings to fill you up; they'll also be some leftover. Expert service. Ample seating is provided.

    Super clean inside

    My son and I came here for burgers I had a triple it was amazing my son had a single and really loved it also the milkshakes are great and one of my son's favorite things is that a lot of the fries are double fries. Also there is a ton of Chicago memorabilia from sports team see which makes it super cool

    Burger was delicious and the fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just how I like them

    I had the single cheeseburger with fries and it was delicious. First time here and I recommend it. They have unique sandwiches as well and shakes and other desserts. The inside is spacious with a few booths and barstool seating facing outside. Fast and friendly service.

I got sat at the bar area where you can see all the action of the kitchen. The place is busy and full and I think it's awesome that it's an open kitchen cause you can see the magic happening. My waitress was super friendly and seems like she's used to everyone coming in to try the burger lol I heard her repeat the spiel many times. A single patty is 2 and a double is 3z I went with a double but honestly should have done a single. Food came out quick and the burger is super juicy. Fries were hot and delicious and even though it was the simplest burger I've ever had in my life I would say it's one of my top three favorite burgers I've ever had. Can't wait to come back.

    The Chronicles of Ragebaiting My Brother continue…read more My brother is a die hard Chicago fan. He visited once during a college internship in 08 and decided he would move to this city. Shout out to him for doing the damn thing. Although I would like to mention it was I who named it and claimed it for myself way back in 2001 after a visit to the city for a college conference. However me and my bestie couldn't figure out how to make it happen on a 20,000 labor organizer salary lmao. So we remain on the east coast while my swagger jacking little brother paints the Windy City red. Anyway because he's so in love with this city and knows its in and outs, I often send him dubious "influencer content" of recent transplants that act like just because THEY just Columbus'd a new spot it must be new to EVERYONE. And the recommendations are often awful and likely paid for (extorted). It sends him into a rage which again - we love. My fave kind of terrible content to send him is Top 10 burger spots in Chicago. The lists are often wrong, outdated, and criminally under seasoned. Every once in a while though there is a fleeting moment of alignment and Little Bad Wolf is it. This truly may be the best burger in Chicago. Food: -Wolf burger - egg fried HARD for me -Bad burger - add egg for my brother -Bad burger - as is for my mom -crab cakes - for SIL -mashed potato- for the toddler -Brussels sprouts for the table The patties were well seasoned and melted in my mouth. I adore crispy onion straws. Beer was crisp and refreshing. Service was outstanding Perfect vibe on a midday Monday Bench and chair seating for all bodies. 100% worth the hype! The menu description is also a good way to annoy your loved ones. See pics for my friend's visceral reaction lmaooo

We popped in here for a quick bite before husband's show in Wrigleyville. It was pretty empty what we arrived and the overall ambiance feels sterile.

I got the veggie version of the Little DMK and the Lazy Refresher mocktail. *I ordered fries for us to split, which is when the waitress warned me about the fries. I really appreciated the call out, but was surprised it wasn't on the menu itself. Husband got the patty melt and noted that the beef tasted very peppered. Both burgers were fine. My drink was a little sweet, but overall good. Staff was friendly and attentive, but even if I were in the neighborhood, I don't see it as a place we'd frequent.
