There's no shortage of great hamburgers to be had in Chicago so when I started searching for…read moresomewhere new to try I was surprised by how many were still on my to-do list. Given the cold weather I didn't feel like venturing far from Logan Square so that helped narrow things down. Many of the spots that I had bookmarked were pop-ups/residencies in bars but I was more just in the mood for dinner and I'm also not much of a solo drinker so that helped too. I was almost going to just give in and head over to Small Bar but then I saw a listing for a place I hadn't ever heard of showing under the blue line on Western and Milwaukee. I noticed they were relatively new without many reviews and I seemed to be getting conflicting info on whether they were actually another bar pop up but given that the address was shared with Oromo Cafe and their burgers AND fries looked good in the few reviews I did find I kept them in the running. In the end I found that the big deciding factor was a sesame seed bun of all things. I ordered ahead online and got an estimated pickup time of 10 mins. I went with the deluxe which comes with 2 beef patties, cheese, bacon, pickles, lettuce, tomato and Harry's sauce and added an order of the beef tallow fries on the side. I headed over and have to say that I was a little worried when I saw what looked like a closed Oromo with no one inside. Once I got closer I noticed that the Harry's sandwich board had been knocked over by the wind and the menu was posted on the door which was not locked so I knew I was in fact in the right place. A few moments after entering the owner came out from the back and asked if I had ordered ahead or if I had come over from the bar next door (Green Eye) because he usually just walks the orders over if you're there. Told him I actually just ordered from home and he confirmed that it'd be ready in a couple of minutes. As it was close to closing time he said he was running low on fries and that he was still going to give me some but that it wouldn't be a full order but that he could try and give me a partial refund or if I wanted I could come back and grab a full order of fries on the house another time. I told him how I was just in town for the weekend to watch my brother's cat so I wasn't sure when I'd be back but it was fine. Headed back and the first thing that hit me was just how good the food smelled in the car. I was practically rushing inside the apartment to get to this burger and those fries and they did not disappoint. Absolutely delicious! The cup of dipping sauce was so good too that I was taking turns dipping the burger and fries in. Quality ingredients throughout. From the meat to the tomato to the pickles, lettuce and bun, everything just worked perfectly. I mean even the bacon which was way crunchier than I usually like tasted good and added a nice texture to each bite. Looking forward to taking Harry's up on those fries and another burger the next time I'm around.

This is one of best sandwiches Ive had in a long time. The pork tenderloin was fried in buttermilk to the perfect crunchy texture w/the interior pork tender & moist. Add the green apple coleslaw for a great crunchy texture, the yellow mustard to add the perfect vinegary flavor & you have an awesome meal. This comes w/fries cooked to an excellent crunchy texture. They have a pretty extensive menu but this sandwich was so dam good I'm sure I will order it again. Yolanda was the server in Falcons. She did an awesome job being the only person working the dining room at the time. Look at this menu selection. There are so many items but you know how it is when you find something that is for me near perfection you know anything else you order will not live up to what you had. You will be left thinking that you had stayed w/the original option. Like they say once you've had the best why try the rest. Maybe after eating it multiple times I will be willing to try something else.

They offer a student and teacher discount during the week, but even without it, the prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. The owner-chef, who previously worked for Eatly, also serves a variety of pasta dishes and gelato. They have a rotating soup menu and seasonal specials. During November, you don't want to miss the thanksgiving sandwich. I'm looking forward to finally trying the gelato this summer.

Instead- restaurant was deserted, 1 worker only who had to work the cash register, serve, and cook... as you can imagine this led to incredibly slow service for a "fast casual" type restaurant. The restaurant was clean, unsure if that's just because it's new and quite literally no one comes here. Also both bathrooms are marked as "out of service", extremely unhelpful to have no working bathrooms for paying customers. Food was pretty good, nothing to write home about though with such a long wait in an empty place, not worth it. Management has a lot to improve upon if they want this place to last- unfortunately despite being in the neighborhood, this won't be a place we would return to.

Honestly between this place and raising canes virtually next door there's a ton of ok but pretty overpriced chicken sandwiches in this neighborhood. My meal ended up being 20.00 ( not including tip) which was pretty outrageous for a slightly better fast food meal The second thing that might have soured me a bit was the person making my sandwich loudly cleared their throat while they were making it. Now I try not to be so paranoid as to think someone would spit in my food but when someone makes the universal noise of someone about to hawk a loogie during meal preparation it does kind of kill your appetite. I did think the service was polite other than that. I didn't dislike the place but I also probably won't come back

But a friend and I are planning a big trip with our kiddos and we needed a spot to chat about it. I ordered the classic burger (no pickles please), and it was good and quite filling. Next time I will not order the large fries, because they are not kidding when they call them large. The fries were huge and a small or maybe medium would have been plenty. The fries were really good, and pretty crisp, which I much prefer to limp French fries. I got some ranch dressing too since I prefer that for my fries. My friend got the patty melt which she liked a lot; she wasn't sure because of the giardiniera but it passed the test. The staff was helpful, and the restaurant was pretty clean. The parking situation in this shopping center is garbage, though. I am positive that the developers made the parking spots slightly smaller than what is standard. I've come here before and wondered if the cars were more closely parked together than other places. Most recently when we came for epic burger, the cars on either side of mine were just over my forearms length apart. I opened the door for my toddler and she had some trouble getting in initially, so if that's not evidence of the too-small spaces I don't know what is. Thankfully she's in her helpful era and she helped me get her buckled into her car seat since I could only get one arm in at a time. I couldn't open the driver's side door wide enough to get into the car, so I had to wait until the other person came back. (Shout out to the folks that had been sitting next to us in the restaurant; as they were leaving they said that they told the man who's car it was that it was parked too close so they must have seen me hanging out by my car.) So if you do check this place out, I'd consider parking further away in the lot if you're over a size 6.
